[00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:17.840] The request to expand the Adult Entertainment Zoning District will include the Scott Shady Court Motel property located at 400 West 1st Street, ATM number 15-0132-118.
[00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:35.140] I just want to say that property actually fell through, so I'm no longer proposing that property.
[00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:41.480] I am working with a real estate here, and unfortunately he never showed up.
[00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:58.040] So, we have been trying to get a hold of Lance and Donald Killen, they own the Adult Entertainment Zone, and we've been unsuccessful so far.
[00:00:58.040 --> 00:01:11.320] However, since it's just sitting there, we were proposing to expand the zone, there's a building right next to it, it's on 2nd Street, across the area.
[00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:18.120] And I don't want to propose it just yet, just because we're still trying to work it out.
[00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.920] But, I just wanted to come and ask the question.
[00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:32.760] We are trying to buy at least one parcel from the buildings, but if the buildings don't want to sell,
[00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:43.560] is the City Council open to potentially expanding the zone to go out or, you know, for more competition?
[00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:44.360] Okay.
[00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:48.360] You got your agenda out in this, pretty narrow, so it's…
[00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:56.360] Our agenda is speaking specifically here, but about expanding the zone, I don't think the Council has an appetite for that.
[00:01:56.360 --> 00:01:59.160] I mean, we do have a zoned area.
[00:01:59.160 --> 00:02:11.160] Granted, there are no current operating brothels there, but I think if we were to go to expand it, you know, the property owner would have to make that request to rezone and things like that.
[00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:13.960] So, I think, you know…
[00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:25.960] I don't think bringing this issue in front of the public and the City Council level is probably a good thing.
[00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:32.760] we've been doing for several years, you know, I think some of the attitude in our city is we're fine like we are.
[00:02:32.760 --> 00:02:36.760] So, you know, that's just my opinion.
[00:02:36.760 --> 00:02:40.760] So, what if they do sell one parcel to us?
[00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:43.760] Are you open to that area of reopening?
[00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:45.760] It's already zoned, is that?
[00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:47.760] Or do you no longer want it?
[00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:49.760] No, it's zoned for that.
[00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:53.760] That would be a business proposition that has nothing to do with the City.
[00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:54.760] Okay.
[00:02:54.760 --> 00:02:57.760] As long as you comply with whatever requirements are in place.
[00:02:57.760 --> 00:02:58.760] It's not a…
[00:02:58.760 --> 00:02:59.760] It's not a…
[00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:00.760] We like it or dislike it.
[00:03:00.760 --> 00:03:04.760] It's whether or not it's allowed for the current laws.
[00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:05.760] That's all it is.
[00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:06.760] Okay.
[00:03:06.760 --> 00:03:07.760] That's a private business decision.
[00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:09.760] That's not a governmental decision.
[00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:10.760] Right.
[00:03:10.760 --> 00:03:11.760] Oh, yeah.
[00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:16.760] I think we have a zoned district and we're not looking to expand.
[00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:17.760] I don't…
[00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:18.760] That's my opinion.
[00:03:18.760 --> 00:03:20.760] My opinion is the same thing.
[00:03:20.760 --> 00:03:21.760] It's there.
[00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:23.760] It's been there.
[00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:26.760] But expanding it, I'm not going to resist.
[00:03:26.760 --> 00:03:27.760] All right.
[00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:31.760] I just thought one of their phone numbers…
[00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:35.760] So I'm going to try to follow them today so if they'll tell.
[00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:40.760] But I really appreciate your time and allowing me to come in front of you.
[00:03:40.760 --> 00:03:41.760] Thank you.
[00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:42.760] Appreciate you coming.
[00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:43.760] Thank you.
[00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:44.760] Thank you.
[00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:46.760] Any other questions?
[00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:50.760] Yeah, we will open up to public comment again.
[00:03:50.760 --> 00:03:51.760] You have any…
[00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:55.760] I want to say more questions and comments.
[00:03:55.760 --> 00:03:56.760] My name is Roger Bailock.
[00:03:56.760 --> 00:03:59.760] I am the owner of Scott Shady Court Motel.
[00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:07.760] I'm new to Winnemucca, but I've dealt with a lot of other governments.
[00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:22.760] And I find it kind of strange that my property can get on the city agenda without me being notified or…
[00:04:22.760 --> 00:04:25.760] Or ask for consent or something.
[00:04:25.760 --> 00:04:28.760] And I'm wondering just how that happened.
[00:04:28.760 --> 00:04:41.760] It happened because that gentleman that was here made a request to see if the city council had any appetite to move the adult entertainment zoning district further that way.
[00:04:41.760 --> 00:04:42.760] That property specifically.
[00:04:42.760 --> 00:04:46.760] So it doesn't have to have your consent for…
[00:04:46.760 --> 00:04:49.760] For them to have somebody make a request about it.
[00:04:49.760 --> 00:04:51.760] I mean, you know, anybody…
[00:04:51.760 --> 00:04:53.760] Sure, anybody can make a request about any property.
[00:04:53.760 --> 00:04:54.760] I mean, but…
[00:04:54.760 --> 00:04:55.760] But I mean, the city…
[00:04:55.760 --> 00:05:03.760] Obviously, a request of that nature would have to come from the owner in order to effectuate the ultimate zone change.
[00:05:03.760 --> 00:05:08.760] So he just wanted to know if there was, you know, an appetite for it.
[00:05:08.760 --> 00:05:09.760] It's what he wanted to know.
[00:05:09.760 --> 00:05:12.760] And I talked to you and I told…
[00:05:12.760 --> 00:05:13.760] Yeah, wait till we talk.
[00:05:13.760 --> 00:05:20.760] There's probably no appetite, but, you know, he acting on his own said, "Oh, I want to know."
[00:05:20.760 --> 00:05:21.760] And so…
[00:05:21.760 --> 00:05:22.760] So that…
[00:05:22.760 --> 00:05:23.760] And then…
[00:05:23.760 --> 00:05:34.760] After we talked, I informed him that there was no appetite and that, you know, basically, I thought there was zero chance that this would happen in Winnemucca.
[00:05:34.760 --> 00:05:35.760] Yeah.
[00:05:35.760 --> 00:05:35.760] And that was…
[00:05:35.760 --> 00:05:36.760] And that was…
[00:05:36.760 --> 00:05:47.760] I sent him that email March 26th and I thought it was a dead issue and then all of a sudden, Thursday night, I'm getting calls that I'm on the agenda.
[00:05:47.760 --> 00:05:48.760] And so did I.
[00:05:48.760 --> 00:05:56.760] And my understanding was that he had some kind of an ownership, you know, possibility of something like that. That's what I understood.
[00:05:56.760 --> 00:05:57.760] Oh, yeah.
[00:05:57.760 --> 00:05:59.760] He was a little less than clear, I guess.
[00:05:59.760 --> 00:06:02.760] Well, for the record, I've never met the guy.
[00:06:02.760 --> 00:06:05.760] I've exchanged two emails with him.
[00:06:05.760 --> 00:06:07.760] And one of years met him either, so…
[00:06:07.760 --> 00:06:14.760] He has been notifying myself and the city manager for years.
[00:06:14.760 --> 00:06:15.760] He's been very persistent.
[00:06:15.760 --> 00:06:16.760] With this.
[00:06:16.760 --> 00:06:18.760] And it's all been through emails, I believe.
[00:06:18.760 --> 00:06:19.760] I've never talked to him.
[00:06:19.760 --> 00:06:24.760] I did try to call him once and never had any success.
[00:06:24.760 --> 00:06:27.760] Tried to explain that I didn't think it was going to go anywhere.
[00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:30.760] Tried to head it off, but he…
[00:06:30.760 --> 00:06:31.760] Okay.
[00:06:31.760 --> 00:06:38.760] I just found some plans for the area, but so I just kind of curious more how all this happened.
[00:06:38.760 --> 00:06:39.760] So thank you.
[00:06:39.760 --> 00:06:40.760] Thank you.
[00:06:40.760 --> 00:06:41.760] Okay.
[00:06:41.760 --> 00:06:44.760] Any other public comments?
[00:06:44.760 --> 00:06:48.760] Anything online?
[00:06:48.760 --> 00:06:52.760] Not senior.
