The Mayor called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting held December 16, 1974, were approved on motion of Mr. Hansen and second of Mr. Cunningham, with Mr. Flores abstaining. Jim Broussard, Chairman of the Charter Review Commission, came before the Council with recommendations of the Commission. They are attached and made a part of these Minutes. The Mayor introduced a request for the re-platting of Lot 2 of Block 11 of the Original Town of San Marcos, located at 1nO and 109 North Guadalupe. J.B. Roberts represented the applicant, Mrs. Laura Ramsay Roberts. Mr. Breihan stated his concern that, if the lot were re-platted and a portion used for C-2 zoning, garbage would be a problem since the building has no exit onto an alley and containers would be left on the street. Mr. Roberts told the Council consideration was being given the possibility of renting space in an adjacent building for kitchen facilities. The City Attorney advised that this action would probably require approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission and Council. Mr. Sutton moved the request be tabled pending further study of the situation. Mr. Flores seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mr. Breihan moved to table the scheduled public hearing to consider rezoning of a portion of the above-described property. Mr. Hansen seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The Mayor opened a Public Hearing to consider a request for a change in zoning of Lot 54 of the J.M. Stone Addition from "D" to "C". The Reverend James McIvor was present to request the change so the property could be used for a used-clothing store. He asked if, in view of the fact that the store would be a project of St. John's Church, a better change would be to "P-2". The City Attorney replied that such a usage would not fall within the legal definition of "P-2" zoning. Francis Anderson and Joe Martin, owners of property within 200 feet of that in question, came before the Council to object to the change on the basis that an increase in traffic would be hazardous in the neighborhood. It was noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended denial of the request, and that a duly sworn petition containing the signatures of more than twenty percent of property owners within 200 feet of the property in question had been presented in objection. The Mayor closed the hearing and read the caption of an ordinance as follows:
