Mayor Malone Opened Public Hearing A at 6:33 P.M. <br /> <br />Public Hearing A - Special Conditional Use Permit Requested <br />SCU 94-001, for the purpose of allowing livestock to be <br />pastured on an approximately 87 acre tract located adjacent to <br />the northern and western boundaries of the La Porte Terrace <br />subdivision. <br /> <br />Director of Planning Chuck Harrington reviewed the request and <br />answered Council questions. <br /> <br />Mayor Malone called for public input. Lisa Honeycutt Cook <br />spoke again asking a question about the hearing process. ci ty <br />Manager Robert T. Herrera addressed Ms. Cook's question <br />explaining there is a certain procedural process the City is <br />required to follow. Chuck Harrington explained that State law <br />requirements state the City Council is the only body having <br />the power to either grant or deny a permit, and there is a <br />recommendation process coming from Planning and Zoning to city <br />Council which requires a two step public hearing process. Mr. <br />Harrington explained we are at that point in the process now. <br /> <br />Director of Planning Chuck Harrington reported that to grant <br />a permit, one of the conditions would be to have the dedicated <br />right-of-ways extending onto the property be left <br />unobstructed, which would require the applicant to fence the <br />area in smaller pastures. The applicant during his public <br />hearing testified the smaller pastures would not provide a <br />workable arrangement for his needs. Director of Planning <br />Chuck Harrington stated the recommendation of the Planning and <br />zoning commission concurred with staff's recommendation <br />regarding the right-of-ways. The Planning and zoning <br />commission recognized this would inhibit the property owner's <br />ability to utilize the property. Therefore, Planning and <br />Zoning commission recommended, by a 6 to 1 vote, this request <br />be denied. <br /> <br />Mayor Malone closed the public hearing at 6:43 P.M. <br /> <br />9.
