Memo Meeting Date: July 12, 2011
To: Mayor and Council members
From: AJ Fawver, Planning Manager
Subjects: SU 11-02, a request for approval of a Spe cial Use to a llow placement
of a “band stand” or “stage”, categorized in the Zoning Ordinance as a major entertainment event, on the subject property:
Location: a 1.722 a cre tract located approximately 285’ we st of th e intersection of Old
Knickerbocker Road and South Bryant Boulevard in sou th centra l San Angelo, specifically the remainder of Tract C in the T.J.A.K. A ddition to San Angelo
Contacts: Ray Zapata 212-3151
AJ Fawver, Planning Manager 657-4210
Summary: The applicant is seeking to obtain a Special Use that would allow him to place a “ban d stand” o n th e subject p roperty, wh ich cur rently serv es as addit ional parking fo r Mejor Que Nada restaurant and also houses a small office building. The band stand is not proposed to be enclosed, and would be used for special events to be held on-site. As its n ame implies, a Spec ial Use is a legislative act to allow some part icular proposed activity at a location in a zoning d istrict where it other wise would be prohibited. Like an y change to the offic ial zoning ma p, ap proval of a Sp ecial Us e r equires a ction by S an Angelo’s City Council, after a hearing and recommendation by the Planning Commission. In doing so, the Planning Commission may:
(1) recommend approving the proposed Special Use as requested; or
(2) recommend approving the pro posed Spe cial Use subject to ce rtain co nditions intended, for example, to make it more compatible in its particular environment;
(3) recommend denying the requested Special Use; or
(4) modify the app lication to some alternative zoning c lassification believed to b e mor e appropriate, in which case another public hearing will need to be scheduled.
Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: North General/Heavy Commercial (CG/CH) & retail (restaurants, auto part stores,
Light Manufacturing (ML) car wash, gas station), residences East General/Heavy Commercial (CG/CH), retail (restaurants, auto part store) General Commercial (CG), offices, residences Neighborhood Commercial (CN), Single-Family Residential (RS-1) South Light Manufacturing (ML), retail (general, lube center), General/Heavy Commercial (CG/CH), offices, residences General Commercial (CG), Single-Family Residence (RS-1) West Light Manufacturing (ML) car sales, DeCoty Coffee Co
Background:
The property owner desires to p lace a “band stand” on the s ite which would host periodic events of a cultural or musical nature, in association with the ne ighboring restaurant. Th is type of use is c haracterized in the Zon ing Ordinance as an “ entertainment event, ma jor”. These activ ities are ge nerally of a spectator nature and draw large numbers of people to specific events or shows. Outdoor amphitheaters, for example, fall into this category. Such a use is only allowed in an ML district with approval of a Special Use.
Analysis and Recommendation:
The area is unique in that it is s urrounded by a variety of zoning c lassifications, from v ery light (RS- 1) to v ery heavy (ML ). The property is also near a major th oroughfare (Knickerbocker Rd) which was, in its infancy, was surrounded by many manufacturing uses but is g radually tra nsitioning to a com mercial c orridor. Also n earby is So uth Brya nt Boulevard, anoth er major thoro ughfare wit h e xtensive comm ercial dev elopment. Residential development in this area is isolat ed and dates back to the mid-1 950’s, but is unlikely to continue b ased on th e newer featu res and patterns of gro wth in the immediate vicinity. As mentioned above, approving a Special Use is a legislative act to allow som e particular proposed activity at a location in a zon ing district where such act ivity would otherwise be prohibited by z oning regulations. A lthough pote ntially ap plicable to “ any u se d eemed appropriate” in a ny z oning district , San An gelo’s Z oning Ordin ance goes on t o state that Special Uses should be restricted to circumst ances “where such u se can prov ide effective transition between les s restrict ive and m ore restrictive z oning d istricts.” For e xample, a Special Us e for s ome lim ited nonresidential activ ity m ay be co nsidered in a reside ntial district alo ng its b oundary wit h a comm ercial district, prov iding a usefu l a nd effectiv e transition between two otherwise incongruous environments. This is the general standard that must be met, in order for the requested Special Use (i.e., a day care) to be ap proved on the subject property in a Single-Family Residence District. It
does appear that this use would create a transition between a more restrictive zoning (ML) and less restrictive zoning (CG, CG/CH). Zoning Or dinance S ubsection 209.H ide ntifies still more crit eria for th e Plann ing Commission and City Council to use in de ciding whether to ap prove a requ ested Special Use, including:
Impacts Mi nimized. Whether and the ex tent to whic h t he proposed Sp ecial Use minimizes adverse effects on adjacent properties.
Compatible with Su rrounding Area. Whether a nd th e ex tent to which the proposed Special Use is compatible with ex isting and anticipated uses surrounding the subject property.
Traffic Circulation. Whether and the extent to whic h the proposed Special Use is likely to re sult in ex traordinarily prolon ged or recu rrent congest ion of surro unding streets, especially minor residential streets.
Community Need. Whether a nd the ex tent to wh ich the pr oposed S pecial Us e addresses a demonstrated community need.
Development Patterns. Whether and the extent to which the proposed Special Use would result in a logical and orderly pattern of urban development in the community.
The pr oposed us e is compatible, ov erall, with the su rrounding p roperties. Additionally, because of the pr oximity to ma jor thoroughfares, there appears to be no issue with traffic circulation. That said, the potential for adverse effects exists because of the introduction of noise to th e env ironment. From ex perience, we kn ow that ev en sem i-enclosed ar eas generate n oise th at can carry fo r quite a distance. In this partic ular c ircumstance, th e subject pro perty is no t ev en partially enc losed. Howev er, San Ange lo h as separat e ordinances to regulate noise generated by such an event, located in 8.101 and 9.109. Staff generally recommends approval of this request, subject to conditions outlined below:
(1) Events on this pr operty can only b e held between the h ours of 7:00 am (as referenced in 8.101) and 10:30 pm (as refe renced in 8.101) Sunday through Thursday;
(2) Events on this pr operty can only b e held between the h ours of 7:00 am (as

At its June 30 th meeting, the Pla nning Commission ap proved this request, subject to th e following conditions:
(1) Events on this pr operty can only b e held between the h ours of 7:00 am (as referenced in 8.101) and 11:00 pm (as refe renced in 8.101) Sunday through Thursday unless administratively approved by staff;

(3) Placement of a privacy fence meeting the standards of the Zoning Ordinance
along the northern boundary of the site; and (4) Speakers and lig hting will b e s ituated s o as to minim ize so und a nd lig ht

Notification: Seven (7) owners of near by property were formally not ified of this application for Special Use approval.
0 notifications were returned in favor; and 1 notific ation was ret urned in o pposition, stating th at, “The
crowds & noise would not bother us but I would be concerned about sec urity of all th e eq uipment I hav e o n m y ne ighboring yard.

Memo Meeting Date: July 19, 2011
To: Mayor and Council members
From: AJ Fawver, Planning Manager
Subject: recommended changes to text of San Angelo’s Zoning Ordinance,
specifically concerning the maximum size of accessory building s in Ranch & Estate (R&E) zoning districts
Contacts: AJ Fawver, Planning Manager 657-4210 Caption: First public hearing and introduction of an ordinance amending
Chapter 12, Ex hibit " A" of th e City of Sa n An gelo Code of Ordinances regar ding the max imum p ermitted ac cessory building floor area in Ranch & Estate districts AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 12, EXHIBIT “A” OF THE CO DE OF OR DINANCES, OF THE CITY OF SAN ANGELO, TEXAS, B Y AMENDI NG SUBS ECTION 402.A.2 PROVIDING A MAX IMUM PERMITTED A CCESSORY BUILDING FLOOR AREA IN RANCH & ESTATE (R&E) DISTRICTS; BY AMENDING SUBSE CTION 203.B. 1 PROVIDING FOR ADMINI STRATIVE ADJUS TMENTS PERMITTED FOR FLOOR AREA OF RESIDENTA L ACCESSORY BUILDINGS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE
Section 402 of San Angel o’s Zoning Ordinance regulates accessory uses and structures. As part of this section, a maxim um size on a ccessory buildings f or a lot is set at no more than 50% of th e floor area of the principal building, or 600 square feet, whichever is greater. In the 11 years sinc e this Zoning Ordinanc e went into effect, a number of variance requests have been received from property owner s; the majority of these property owners are living in R&E district s. This alone does not justify a modification, but simply
Page 2 of 5
represents the frequency in which this rule is questioned. However, it does indicate that the rule, as it is written, might need re-exami nation. While ther e is a distinction in the next sentence of that regulation, it only o ffers relief for bona fide farm and agricultural buildings – those used in conjunction with fa rming and agricultural business purposes – not housing of animals or equipment used simply for personal enjoyment. It is helpful to recognize and draw attention to the specific features of the R&E zoning district, a residential z oning unique from all other residential zoning districts. First and foremost, R&E zoning requires that each lot be at least one acre in size. When compared to the minimum lot size of the other residential districts shown below, a stark contrast is quite apparent.
R&E RS-1 RS-2 RM-1 Sq Feet 43560 5000 5000 5000 Acreage 1.0 0.115 0.115 0.115
As the cha rt illustrates, the minimum lot size for other residentia l districts which allo w single-family homes is just over 11% of the size of the minimum lot size for R&E districts. While single-acre home lots provide much more space and presents a unique situation, the limit on accessory building square footage is not handled uniquely. Another important distinction is the intent of the R&E district; it is also different from all other residential districts in that it aims to create a suburban or rural setting. Driving through many of thes e areas, th e rural feel is quite ev ident. Rural areas tend to hav e more maintenance, thereby requiring larger equipment than smaller lots of higher densities. They als o tend to be t he areas where livest ock are kept, and where space allows accessory building placement. It is because of these unique characteristics that staff recommends modific ation of the maximum accessory building square footage allo wed per lot. The current restrictions are based in sound r easoning a nd intended to protec t resident ial character, maintain openness, prevent unlawful busine ss operation, and to mainta in a ratio of accessor y building square footage to pr imary building square footage appropriate. The current approach of preserving proporti onality is s ound; however, the proportionality in R&E districts should be adjusted.
With these considerations in mind, City st aff recommends the follo wing modification be made to the text of San Angelo’s Zoning Ordinance in Section 402.A.2: 1. Size. A maximum accessory building floor ar ea of 600 square feet or 50 percen t
of the floor area of the prin cipal building, whichever is greater, shall be permitted on any residential lot. For residential lots zoned Ranch & Estate (R&E), the accessory building floor area shall not exceed 100 percent of the floor area of the
Page 3 of 5
principal building. Bona fide farm and agricultural buildings shall be exempt from this requirement.
Another change whic h staff woul d like the Counc il to consider is the process by whic h variances from this requirement are handled. Currently, Section 203 of the Zoning Ordinance allows the Planning Manager to c onsider five types of administrative adjustments, which includes:
Allow an increase in the floor area of a residential accessory building above 50 percent of the total square f ootage of the principa l structure, as long as the maximum floor area ratio for the District is not exceeded.
First, there are a number of these administrative adjustm ents turned in annually for a variance from this standard; very rarely is t he full request granted. In fact, the zonin g ordinance allows the Planning Manager to allow a 10% dev iation in other numerical standards, and it has been st andard pr actice over the years for the Manager to administratively grant no more than that per centage, as it represents a deviation o f negligible consequence. This adds time to the customer’s project, as they often then appeal the decision to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. In staff’s o pinion, it is more effi cient to simply remove the ability to administratively approve more than a 10% deviat ion from this st andard as well. In addition, it is more objective to handle these requests in this manner – allowing a minimum for administrative approval and r equiring anything requested over that amount to be hear d by the five-member board, thus necessitating the standards for variance be met and the decision be made by a group rather than an individual. With these considerations in mind, City st aff recommends the follo wing modification be made to the text of San Angelo’s Zoning Ordinance in Section 203.B.2: 2. Allow an increase in the floor ar ea of a residential accessory building by no more than 10% over the maxim um allowed in Section 402, so long as the maximum floor area ratio for the District is not exceeded. This item was presented to and disc ussed by the Pl anning Commission on May 16, 2011, at which time they unanimously recommended approv al of the changes as outlined within. This it em was also presented to and discussed by the Zoning Board of Adjustment on June 6, 2011, at which they also unanimously recommended approval of the changes as outlined. Recommendation: City staff, the Planning Co mmission, and the Zoning Board

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 26, 2011 TO: Harold Dominguez, City Manager FROM: Elizabeth Grindstaff, Asst. City Manager SUBJECT: Agenda Item for August 2, 2011 City Council Meeting CONTACT PERSON: Elizabeth Grindstaff, Asst. City Manager PHONE NUMBER: 325.657.4241 CAPTION: Update by Siemens Industry, Inc. regarding the feasibility of a landfill gas project as outlined in the Letter of Intent (approved by City Council in December 2010) and any action related thereto. SUMMARY: For several years now, the City of San Angelo has been working with Siemens Industry Inc. to explore various ways to reuse the now-flared methane gas produced by the City’s landfill. Captured methane can be used as an alternative to natural gas and it can be converted to electricity A letter of Intent (LOI) was approved by City Council in December 2010 and was executed shortly thereafter. The LOI was necessary to explore and compare the economics of a gas-to-electricity project (which could benefit Goodfellow AFB) with and a direct-use gas project (which could benefit the needs of HTC, Martifer-Hirschfeld, Ethicon, and others). In either case, well field expansion and increased methane capture would allow for the provision of even more fuel, thereby providing an affordable, renewable energy source for the City’s economic development partners. Since the LOI was executed, the City of San Angelo has received a letter from Col. Paul Bugenske, Mission Support Group Commander at Goodfellow AFB, indicating the inability of the Air Force Base to pursue use of the landfill gas at this point in time, as originally intended. Therefore, Siemens and City staff has begun more detailed discussions with local industry whose operations require large amounts of natural gas to determine who would be interested in purchasing the landfill gas for direct-use. HISTORY: On two separate occasions, the last being September 22, 2010, the City Council approved the submission of a $1 million grant request in the Distributed Renewable Energy Technology Stimulus Grant Program of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. In the first round, the City received no award as all projects awarded funding were based on solar technologies. Likewise, the City was also unsuccessful in capturing an award of funds in the second and final round. Regardless, the grants were only relevant to the gas-to-electricity model. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the continued investigation of the direct-use of the landfill gas. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None as a result of this update. ATTACHMENTS: Draft copy of Letter Of Intent
December 14, 2010 Mr. Chad L. Nobles Energy & Environmental Solutions Siemens Industry, Inc. 8850 Fallbrook Road Houston, TX 77064 Re: Approval to Proceed with Study for Landfill Gas Project Dear Mr. Nobles: The City of San Angelo, Texas (“CoSA”) intends to contract with the Building Technologies division of Siemens Industry, Inc. (“Siemens”) for the design and implementation of a project to utilize landfill gas from the landfill located at 3002 Old Ballinger Highway in San Angelo, Texas. This letter serves as authorization to conduct a Detailed Energy & Site Study (“Study”). The Study will consist of two phases: In Phase I, CoSA and Siemens will explore and compare the conceptual economics of a gas-to-electricity project and a direct-use gas project. CoSA and Siemens will meet with potential end-users to determine the volumes of gas or electricity they would be willing to purchase, as well as the prices they would be willing to pay. Siemens will compile budgetary costs for both projects based on the information gathered, and deliver to CoSA a Phase I report comparing the economics of gas-to-electricity versus direct-use. Thereafter, CoSA must choose whether to implement a gas-to-electricity or a direct-use project; whichever option CoSA selects shall be the “Project” that will be the focus of Phase II. In Phase II, Siemens will analyze and develop CoSA’s selected Project, and provide the following deliverables to CoSA: 1. Turnkey proposal and price to cover the design, engineering, permitting and installation of the Project; 2. Cash flow statements for the Project for a 20-year period; and 3. A plan and costs for ongoing Project operations and maintenance.
During the Study, CoSA will be responsible for the following: 1. Arrange and attend meetings between CoSA, Siemens, and the end user(s) in order to facilitate and expedite
the gathering of Phase I information 2. Provide other information as necessary and appropriate to complete the Study 3. Obtain a commodity sales agreement with the Project’s end user(s) 4. Expand the existing landfill gas collection system 5. Permitting the Project (with assistance from Siemens) 6. Assume ownership of the Project 7. Obtain financing for the Project
CoSA and Siemens will cooperate to finalize the technical, legal and financial components of the Project, and during the course of the Study, other potential efficiencies and improvements may be identified which may be added, modified, delayed, or dropped from the Project, as agreed by the parties. If CoSA issues a notice-to-proceed to Phase II of the Study within sixty (60) days of receipt of Siemens’ Phase I report, the Phase I fee will be deferred, but if CoSA does not proceed to Phase II within 60 days, then CoSA shall pay Siemens $45,000 for Phase I. Similarly, if CoSA commits to implement the Project with Siemens within 45 days of receipt of Siemens’ Phase II proposal, the Phase I fee ($50,000) and the Phase II fee ($95,000) can be included in the implementation price of the Project. However, if CoSA chooses not to pursue the Project with Siemens within 45 days, then CoSA agrees to pay Siemens $140,000.00 for the work performed under both phases of the Study. The City of San Angelo looks forward to working with Siemens on this mutually-beneficial endeavor. If Siemens
agrees, please acknowledge below and return a copy of this letter. Sincerely, Harold Dominguez, City Manager
Acknowledged and agreed for Siemens:

Discussion of t he 201 1-2012 budget goals, p olicy, and a ll City f unds, including, but not limited to:
a. G eneral F und, Water Fund, Waste Water F und, ot her f unds, and fund balances
b. Consideration of a record vote to propose a property tax rate for FY 2011-2012
Summary: We will continue discussions of the Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Budget. We will continue discussion of General Fund changes proposed during the last City Council meeting and will move forward with discussion of the Water Fund, Waste Water Fund, and other funds as time allows. Part B requires a record vote, in accordance with State law, of a proposed property tax rate if the proposed t ax r ate will r aise m ore funds t han t axes r eceived d uring t he pr evious year. T he increase in funds is due to properties which have been reappraised and new property added to the tax rolls. History: Staff has discussed with Council during June, July, and August 2011 the budget and budget process. Financial Impact: Discussion at the City Council meeting. Related Vision Item (if applicable): Financial Vision. Other Information/Recommendation: Staff recommends a proposed tax rate of $0.8175 for the record vote. This rate allows the City flexibility to adjust the proposed budget and retain the ability to s till reduce the tax rate before adopting a tax rate. City Council will have the ability to adopt a tax rate in September less than what is voted on today. State law does not allow a City to adopt a rate for more than the amount of the record vote.
