Caleb Mann RTN District at McShann and Preston Road

Context: Minutes for one hearing show the file number as 26-1263A, the same as item 13, corrected to 26-1285A per the agenda roster, and Hampton was recorded as recused for conflict of interest at the April 23 and June 11 votes on Z-25-000121.

Recommended: Request the certified minutes and the official agenda roster for the hearing where the clerk recorded the file number as 26-1263A, duplicating the preceding item before it was corrected to 26-1285A, and confirm the correction is reflected in the adopted record. Also ask whether Commissioner Hampton's conflict-of-interest disclosure was filed in writing, and obtain the ordinance or approval document showing what body took final action, since the supplied record verifies no step after the commission.

Context: The commission approved the Residential Transition District over R-16(A) Single Family zoning on June 11, 2026 by a 10-0 vote with staff recommending approval, planner Martin Bate, Council District 13.

Recommended: Get planner Martin Bate's staff report and the approved zoning exhibit for the northwest corner of McShann Road and Preston Road to confirm the height, setback and unit-type standards that now replace the R-16(A) single-family rules, and verify whether the June 11 action carried any conditions the earlier held-over versions did not. Designing to assumed Residential Transition standards before reading the approved exhibit risks a redesign at permit review.

Context: The item carried 14-0 on February 5, March 5 and April 9, then 12-0 on April 23 and 10-0 on June 11, with minutes noting Hampton had a conflict of interest and was out of the room both times.

Recommended: Request the case file and hearing audio explaining why this single-family-to-Residential-Transition request was held over from February 5, March 5, April 9, and April 23 before finally clearing on June 11, and ask what conflict of interest kept Commissioner Hampton out of the room for the last two votes. The delay pattern and the repeated recusal are documented but unexplained in the record.

Context: The commission approved the applicant's Residential Transition District request over R-16(A) Single Family District zoning at that corner on June 11, 2026 by 10-0, with Martin Bate as planner and applicant Caleb Mann represented by Matthew Sheard.

Recommended: Contact planner Martin Bate for the approved site exhibit showing what building types, heights and unit counts are now permitted at the northwest corner of McShann Road and Preston Road, which was single-family R-16(A) zoning until June 11. Ask specifically whether any buffer, height step-down or driveway-access conditions were attached, because those details determine what you will see from the street.
