Davila presented the staff report. * This is a proposed mixed use, horizontal development. The

foot front setback instead of the standard 25 feet. The hotel would be allowed to build up to 80 feet

instead of the standard 60 feet. The buildings have more flexibility in design than through straight
zoning. Other standards were presented. This project is consistent with the Future Land Use Plan
and is compatible with adjacent uses. This project complies with approval criteria of a PUD.
Brashear expresses concern about the shared parking, or not enough parking. He asked what the
city is getting. Davila explains that this is a dense, mixed-use development with higher design
standards and additional amenities within the development.
The applicant, Michele Housman, represents the applicant, made her own presentation.

G. Presentation and discussion of the Draft Airport Master Plan — Russ Volk, Airport Manager
Waggoner introduced Volk and explained that the FAA recommends an update every 7 to 10 years,
or as necessary to address local changes at the airport. This plan allows analysis of the surrounding
area and uses and helps project what development is compatible.
Volk presented the plan and appreciated Brashear for serving on the steering committee. He
explained that this is an update of the existing plan. The FAA has funded the update and has strict
requirements. This plan includes a 20 year prioritized list of capital projects. There is also an
approved Airport Layout Plan which is required for grant funding. Commissioners discussed
concerns about zoning in the vicinity of the airport.
Volk discussed development zones within the airport and the runway protection zone. The
proposal is to shrink the runway protection zone. By doing this, the 47 homes in the protection zone
will be reduced to one home in the zone. This would be accomplished by reducing the size of the
planes allowed at the airport to B II size. Volk presented the proposed B -II concept plan. There is a
large demand for airport use in this area with the growth of the population. This airport is a
backup to ABIA, along with the airport in San Marcos.
Volk reviewed the proposed Capital Improvement Program. This is funded by the FAA and
A; -ort Grant programs. The city must agree through the public hearing process to fund any of
those projects.
H. Updates and Announcements. Andreina Davila -Quintero, AICP, Current Planning Manager.
Davila reported that Planner, Jordan Feldman was leaving the city to pursue other interests. Her
last day will be Tuesday, August 21.
