Mayor Moore opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak. Ms. Theresa Silguero stated she was speaking on behalf of Cruz Jaimes asking for a zoning amendment to place a manufactured home which would be her residence. Ms. Silguero stated she did not feel a manufactured home would be a negative impact on the neighborhood's property value. There were no other speakers so Mayor Moore closed the public hearing. Mr. Hernandez moved to deny the request and Ms. Hughson seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Mr. Mihalkanin suggested the Planning and Zoning Commission should look for a distinctive zoning classification and location to allow manufactured homes and not allow what the City calls mobile homes. Mayor Moore introduced for consideration a public hearing and adoption of a Zoning Ordinance, the caption which was read as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY BY REZONING A 0.34 ACRE TRACT OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 711 W. MARTIN LUTHER KING DRIVE, FROM "M" (SINGLE-FAMILY, DUPLEX AND NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT) TO "DPA" (TWO-FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT [LOW DENSITY]); INCLUDING PROCEDURAL PROVISIONS; AND PROVIDING FOR PENALTIES. Mayor Moore opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak. Ms. Betsy Robertson stated she was there to speak for Vance Elliott who wishes to change the zoning of "M" which is an out of date designation and does not permit any building permits to be built under it. Ms. Robertson stated Mr. Elliott wishes to build a duplex on the lot towards the back to provide green space and lots of parking. There were no other speakers so Mayor Moore closed the public hearing. Mr. Moseley moved for approval of the Zoning Ordinance and Mr. Mihalkanin seconded the motion. Ms. Hughson stated she would like to speak against the zoning request because there appear to be single-family homes at the end of Endicott and MLK and she would not like to see a duplex in the middle of what appears to be R-1 on that particular street. Ms. Hughson stated in the interest of neighborhood integrity and what the Sector I Plan allows she does not think it would be a wise choice. Mr. Cox stated the summary sheet points out the Sector 1 plan advocates the City go from anything going to "R-1" to "R-2" in the transition and does not recommend "DPA ". The Council unanimously voted not to approve the Zoning Ordinance.
