From the June 24 PC, the item could be postponed no later than 60 days, and these are the available PC dates: July 8, July 22 or August 12. As soon as possible, please let me know a PC date you propose. Please note that the Applicant does not agree with postponing this case beyond the June 24 PC hearing. Note also that this would be your (NH) second request for Postponement due to the Joint Applicant/ NH Postponement granted by Commissioners at the May 13 PC to the June 24 PC. Therefore, at this time, as this is the second NH Postponement request and the applicant does not agree, the topic of postponing this case will likely be a Discussion on the Postponement at next week’s hearing. At the hearing, the Commission will need to vote on a requested Postponement, 09 C14-2024-0163 - 1700 South Lamar; District 91 of 5which could be decided as the date you suggest or a different date. In addition, the Commission could vote to not Postpone. If they vote to not Postpone, this means the item would have action taken on June 24, and there may be Discussion on the item. I’m letting you know all this so you can be prepared. I’ll be sending an email under separate cover with details on the hearing, including speaker registration, for next Tuesday. Please let me know if you have further questions at this time. Thank you, Marcelle Marcelle Boudreaux, MCRP, Assoc.

Lamar Rezoning: scheduled hearing for Tuesday (please review ASAP) External Email - Exercise Caution 09 C14-2024-0163 - 1700 South Lamar; District 92 of 5Hi all, (and Joi and Michele in particular) – I just met with Ryan and Ben in regards to the term sheet the community put together for this project, which I've also attached here. My recommendation to him was that we postpone the hearing to give Michele and me an opportunity to discuss the terms which I sent her last week. That has not happened yet. It would also be amazing to use the time to gather city staff members who can weigh in on what’s even possible with respect to certain terms. I also visited with two pastors from Kinney Avenue Baptist Church, who were just recently alerted to the project. It’s my sense that KABC will be joining the community term sheet because, like the rest of us, they appear supportive of the project with some agreed upon guardrails. As an organization, they need some time for internal governance procedures. Finally, more time would be helpful for me (and potentially other community members) to meet with Zo’s team on Monday as well. To be fair, Ryan did not say postponing hearing is the hill he’ll die on but did say to email Joi ASAP to explore. I’ve added Michele too in case it makes sense to reach a quick decision before the staff report needs to go out or gather approval for postponement by a certain number of commissioners or council members. Please keep me posted. Thanks and have good weekends - Drew 512.415.7727 CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.
