Review City Council Agenda for June 22, 1999.
Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to approve change orders up to $25,000 on the S.

the proposal.

Ordinance No. 99-3220. An Ordinance amending the zoning map of the City of Plainview, Texas
to rezone property located at 405 N. Ennis Street from a Single Family Residential Zone to a
Multi-Family District. Property was originally zoned Multi-Family District but lost its non-
conformity status when it was not used for several months. Central Plains MHMR now needs
to reinstate that status so their substance abuse program from the Borger House may be moved
back to 405 N. Ennis Street. The reason for moving is because of difficulties with the fees from
HUD (the Borger house is HUD assisted). Pam Berry and the property owners from the lot
NOrth of 405 N Ennis spoke in opposition to the rezoning, because they did not know what the
property was going to be used for. A letter was sent to the surrounding area telling them if they
had issues with this amendment to call the City planning department, no phone calls have been
received. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval.
There were no City Council reports.
The Council was advised the YMCA and the new Plainview Softball Association were working to
reach an agreement as to who would run the Softball Corn plex in Running Water Draw Regional
Park.
Adjourned at 12:10 p.m.
