Office to position LP&L as the "Home -Owned Advantage" that it is to
the community. Each advertising campaign has seen consistent upward
spikes in changeovers to LP&L following the ads. These increases have
then been maintained during non -advertising periods. In addition to
increasing changeovers to LP&L, the summer conservation campaign
prevented extensive use of more expensive generation facilities and fuels,
by saving the city and citizens money.
Recently, LP&L has experienced tremendous growth due to the
effectiveness of the advertising campaign developed by the advertising
agency.

BCBSTX administers the group medical and dental insurance plan for the
City of Lubbock. The Human Resources Department receives monthly,
quarterly, and annual reporting which contains medical information.
Due to recent privacy and confidentiality laws, BCBSTX is requiring
their customers to sign agreements to release BCBSTX from liability if
the City representatives fail to safeguard the confidentiality of medical
information.
The reports provided to the City are essential in analyzing plan risk.
The information is used to determine future plan liability. This
information is also used in the Request for Proposal process.
Respondents can more accurately predict risk and base pricing on the
group claim information. Accurate pricing is vital in determining budget
risk to avoid substantial fluctuation in pricing in subsequent years.

Mayor Sitton opened the public hearing at 11:17 a. in. Alex
Scarborough appeared on behalf of Tom Scarborough. No one appeared
in opposition. Mayor Sitton closed the hearing at 11:19 a. in.
In the area annexed in 1999, this development will consist of existing
structures on the Brownfield Highway with a number of lots having
access to a private drive south of the highway.
Adjacent land use includes:
North --Brownfield Highway
South -residential and commercial
East --commercial
West —commercial
The request is consistent with both the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
recently adopted for the area, and with zoning policies. The buildings in
the back will be higher quality metal, which is allowed in IHC when the
lots do not have street frontage. If and when the existing buildings on
the highway frontage are redeveloped, they will have to meet the
decorative architectural materials required within the district. The
development will be similar to construction in the area.
The project should have little effect on the thoroughfare system. An
adjacent owner expressed concern for drainage in the area, an item that
will be addressed during the platting process for the property. The
owner had no problem with the zoning.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of this request subject
to the following condition:
Chain link fencing may surround these lots on the property line
except that a solid screening fence shall be required on the south
line of Lots 1 and 3.
Staff recommended approval of this ordinance.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments.

Mayor Sitton opened the public hearing at 11:20 a. in. Randy Mannino
appeared on behalf of Cingular Wireless. No one appeared in
opposition. Mayor Sitton closed the hearing at 11:29 a. in.
The cell tower ordinance requires Specific Use for any tower not located
in an industrial area. There is a tower just west of this proposed site, but
staff has verification that the tower is full. Meeting those criteria is the
main objective before new sites are approved.
Adjacent land uses:
North-4esidential
South -future freeway
East --apartments
West --commercial
With the documentation provided by the firm requesting the change for
both the need of location in this vicinity and the fact that no available
sites are located close, the proposal meets the guidelines of the cell tower
ordinance.
The owner of the property has agreed for the tower site to be located half
way between the 3`d Street and new Freeway right of way lines on the
west property line, so the tower is not butted up to either street.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of this
request.
Staff recommended approval of this ordinance.

Mayor Sitton opened the public hearing at 11:29 a. in. Bernie Gradel
appeared on behalf of Hugo Reed. No one appeared in opposition.
Mayor Sitton closed the hearing at 11:32 a. in.
The request is to change the current R-1 zoning to R-2 for a duplex. The
project is described as a duplex costing in the range of $175,000 with in
excess of 1,400 square feet in each unit.
Adjacent land uses:
North —single family
South —multifamily
East —single family
West --zoned R-2 for a duplex.
The request is not consistent with the current Comprehensive Land Use
Plan. The Plan designates lots from Lot 62 (the lot in question) to the
east to Slide as single family. East of Aberdeen (between Aberdeen and
Slide), the development is Specific Use developed as townhomes. The
lots east of Lot 62 to Aberdeen are developed as single family. The lot
immediately west of Lot 62 is zoned R-2. The recommendation of a
minor change of the Comprehensive Plan is included in the motion from
the Planning Commission.
The request should have no effect on the thoroughfare system.
As a duplex adjacent to single family residential on one side, a majority
of the decision should be based on the opinion of residents who have
already made investments in the immediate area. Two negative
responses were submitted; no one spoke at the meeting.
The staff did present the possibility of converting the case to R-1 Specific
Use allowing for a two -unit townhouse (similar in looks to a duplex
except each home is on a separate lot with one common wall). With
little neighborhood opposition and the prospect of an upscale duplex, the
Planning Commission did not feel the difference worth considering.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of this
request subject to the following condition:
Tied to the building plans labeled as zone case 2928.
Staff recommended approval of this ordinance

Mayor Sitton opened the public hearing at 11:33 a. m. Bernie Gradel
appeared on behalf of Hugo Reed. No one appeared in opposition.
Mayor Sitton closed the hearing at 11:34 a. in.
The request is for a mini storage operation on the east edge of the
undeveloped portion of Commanders Palace Mobile Home Park.
Adjacent land uses:
North —commercial
South --church
East —residential
West —vacant portion of the mobile home park
The request is not consistent with the current Comprehensive Land Use
Plan. A minor Plan change is recommended in the motion from the
Commission.
Zoning policy is difficult to address in this instance. The entire parcel is
currently zoned for the mobile home park, with just less than half being
actually developed (the portion away from the proposed mini project).
The entire east line (the portion proposed for the units) is across the alley
from single family and duplex residential.
Access for the initial phase will be through the existing entrance to the
mobile home park. The project will cause no traffic problems for the
adjacent residential property to the east. Those owners may be pleased
to see something other than the mobile home park across the fence or to
at least have the area not growing weeds. In a circumstance similar to
this at 82°d and University, a city employee indicates that the project has
not been a detraction from his perspective. The mini -warehouse units
will be a quieter neighbor than an extension of the trailer park.
The project will be in phases, starting at the south end. The east wall of
the units will be the required screening fence. The proposal should have
no negative effect on the thoroughfare system.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request.
Staff recommended approval of this ordinance.

Mayor Sitton opened the public hearing at 11:35 a. in. No one appeared
in opposition. Mayor Sitton closed the hearing at 11:36 a. in.
Consistent with several recent zone changes and ZBA cases in the
subdivisions in this area, the builder is requesting a reduction of side
setback of homes from ten feet to five feet.
Adjacent land use is residential in all directions.
The proposal does not rise to the level of a Comprehensive Land Use
Policy issue.
Regarding zoning policy, the staff supported the previous cases within
this area where smaller homes are being built on smaller lots. With back
yard fencing at "zero", the requirement for a ten -foot setback on the
home is often a moot issue. With these cases, staff may be field testing a
code change of the future.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request subject
to the following condition:
No portion of a home may be constructed within the twenty-five
foot vision triangle at the corner of two streets.
Staff recommended approval of this ordinance.

behalf of D. J. Hammonds & Associates, a long-term partner of

Dinerstein Company. No one appeared in opposition. Mayor Sitton
closed the hearing at 11:53 a. m.
Although the entire development plan in North Overton has yet to be
completed, a basic outline of future land uses has been proposed. This
apartment project will be one of the foundation projects, and is the only
topic for this discussion. The proposed development plan will be placed
on a future agenda for consideration of a change to the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan for the entire area.
The upcoming development is not dramatically different from the current
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, an amended version from a conceptual
plan done by Dr. George Peng more than ten years ago. The single
family and apartment areas will be rearranged, but the mix of land uses
is very similar.
The staff recommended that the Commission consider and approve the
proposed zone change along with approval of a minor amendment of the
Plan on the three blocks included in the zone case. This will allow us to
proceed on this one project, and bring details of the balance of the
project in the near future.
Two adjacent property owners spoke at the hearing about the effect of
the project on their property. One gentleman represents a church
adjacent to the site, and another lady owns rent homes on 7th Street (one
block to the north). The two did not express any definitive concerns
other than dissatisfaction with the lack of lot clean up for the parcels
where homes have been removed. The Building Inspection and EIS
staffs are working with the demolition contractors on that problem.
Staff have visited extensively with the Dinerstein Group, the builders of
the student housing project. Some of the design ideas being formulated
for the overall master plan are incorporated into the proposal,
specifically:
• Orientation of the apartments on the north and south immediately
adjacent to the street to avoid the "sea of parking" look;
• Decorative materials that are compatible with the look of Texas
Tech and future commercial in the area;
• And, while not a site plan issue for zoning, wider sidewalks on
the north and south ends (and perhaps the east and west sides) for
the project to promote a pedestrian atmosphere in the area.
The project, while a large apartment complex, should not affect the
overall thoroughfare system. A significant number of single family
homes, accessory living units and apartment units are being removed.
The net result of redevelopment may be a "wash" for total traffic
generation with the benefit of new construction. Staff also expect the
facility to be added to the Tech bus route.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request subject
to the following condition:
Tied to the proposed site plan and building elevations described
as Site Plan 2930.
Staff recommended approval of this ordinance.

The current Consolidated Plan goes to 2003. Information from the 2000
census will not be available in time for the next consolidated plan, so the
CDSB is recommending extension of the plan for one additional year
with some amendments. The amendments are as follows:
• Extension of the Plan for one additional year.
• Extend the existing target corridor on Clovis Highway from one
block north and south of Clovis Highway to one block south and
two blocks north of Clovis Highway in order to include more
residential structures on the north side of the highway.
• Change the recommended funding levels on the Community
Needs Assessment Chart to show the actual dollars available now
rather than the amount estimated three years ago. Specifically,
lower the general economic development category to $100,000.
Raise the general housing category to $2,625,000. Increase the
specific sidewalk category to $141,630. Increase the funding for
Parks and Recreation facilities to $200,000.
• Change the priority of need level for anti -crime from High to
Medium.
