Developer asks council to reconsider conditional rezoning for 8715 Telegraph Road

Taylor City Council · January 21, 2025

Summary

A representative for property owners at 8715 Telegraph Road asked the council to reconsider a denial of conditional rezoning to allow interior self-storage, arguing the reuse reduces impervious surface and better fits the site's constraints; council said a motion to reconsider would need to be made by a member of the majority that denied the second reading and none was offered.

During public comment, Joe Letosis of Design House Architecture, representing property owners Paulo and Angelo Petchey, asked the council to reconsider its decision denying conditional rezoning and site plan approval for redevelopment at 8715 Telegraph Road.

Letosis said the project proposes interior climate-controlled self-storage (no exterior storage or truck rentals), reduced impervious surface, and additional landscaping to adaptively reuse a building that is difficult for many traditional commercial uses. "We are here to ask the city council to reconsider their decision on the conditional rezoning of the property," he said, noting the planning commission had recommended approval and that approvals had lapsed before construction could begin.

The chair noted a motion to reconsider must be made by a council member who voted with the majority in denying the second reading; no member moved to reconsider. Letosis asked the council to allow the applicant to return with additional information at a future meeting. The council did not act to reopen the item at this session.
