C. AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
12. 16-1420 Amending the Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan which
will replace the 2004 adopted plan relating to land development
policies for protection of the environment, future land use,
transportation, public services, economic development and capital
improvements.
Dan McGinn,Assistant Director of Environmental and Strategic Initiatives,
presented item"12"as shown above. He explained the update was intiated by
the Island Strategic Action Committee(ISAC). He then turned over the
presentation to an ISAC member,William Goldston,to inform the Commission
on the subcommittee's process of updating the plan.
Mr.Goldston said the committee feels that an update of the Mustang-Padre
Island Area Development Plan (ADP)should have been included in the efforts
of providing new plans for the downtown and south side districts. He said
there is a great need to update the plan with the amount of undeveloped land
in the area and the growing pressure to continute construction activity. The
subcommitte met with several Padre Island busisnesses who donated funds to
help get the project started since there was not a reserved City budget
provided for the plan. He explained the subcommittee meetings were
advertised to keep transparency and open to the public; made public outreach
attempts for participation.Mr. Goldston stated most of the changes made to
the plan included deleting things which were out of date. Mr. McGinn added
that Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment,as presented,for
the Mustang-Padre Island ADP.
After the presentation,Vice Chairman Villarreal opened the public hearing.
With no one coming forward,the public hearing was closed. A motion to
approve item"12"was made by Commissioner Lippincott and seconded by
Commissioner Hovda. The motion passed.
13. 16-1421 Amending the Urban Transportation Plan (UTP) proposing the deletion
of two designated C1 Residential Collector streets from the UTP street
network: Delgado Street, between Greenwood Drive and Castenon
Street.
Mr.McGinn read item "13"into record as shown above and presented several
aerial views of the street. Staff feel that Delgado Street does not serve its
purpose as a collector street since it terminates in the middle of a residential
area. If Delgado Street were to be deleted, connectivity would still be available
for future residential development in the neighborhood. Staff recommends
approval of the proposed deletion of Delgado Street. The proposed
amendment was brought to the Traffic Advisory Committee(TAC)and they
recommend approval as well.
After Staff's presentation,Vice Chairman Villarreal opened the public hearing.
With no one coming forward,the public hearing was closed. A motion to
approve Staff's recommendation of item "13"was made by Commissioner Crull
and seconded by Commissioner Hastings. The motion passed.

14. 16-1426 Amending the Urban Transportation Plan (UTP) proposing the deletion
of two designated C1 Residential Collector streets from the UTP street
network: Coverdale Street (Widgeon Drive) between Haven Road and
Starlite Lane.
Mr.McGinn read item "14"into record as shown above and presented several
aerial views of the street. He explained that the evaluation of the area was
brought fourth by an applicant's request to plat the northern portion of
undeveloped land that is between Starlite Lane and County Road 52. One of
the platting requirements was the dedication of land and improvement of the
extension of Coverdale Street,in accordance with the City's UTP Map.Staff
feel that this extension would place a disproportionate burden of dedication
and construction on the owners of that portion of land. Staff recommend
approval of the proposed deletion of Coverdale Sreet(Widgeon Drive). The
proposed amendment was brought to the Traffic Advisory Committee(TAC)
and they recommend approval as well.
After staff's presentation,Vice Chairman Villarreal opened the public hearing.
With no one coming forward,the public hearing was closed. Commissioner
Crull recommended that this area be further evaluated for more options before
any action takes place.Commissioner Crull made a motion to table item"14"to
the regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting of February 8,2017.
Commissioner Baugh seconded and the motion passed.
IV. Director's Report

V. Items to be Scheduled

VII. Convene Beach/Dune Committee Meeting (Planning Commission)
D. Beach Front Construction Certificates
15. 16-1422 Case No. 0816-02 -The City of Corpus Christi: A request to
consider a large-scale Beachfront Construction Certificate to demolish
and reconstruct Beach Access Road 2, per the 2014 City Bond
Program. Beach Access Road 2 is located, between State Highway
361 and the Gulf of Mexico public beach, approximately 0.5 miles
north of Mustang Island State Park.
Mr.McGinn read item "15"into record as shown above. He gave the
Commission background information on the projects timeline and construction
details. He informed the Commission that this item would need to be brought
back once more for action so that Staff can verify that access will be

maintained during construction.
After Staffs presentation,Vice Chairman Vllarreal opened the public hearing.
With no one coming forward the public hearing was closed. Commissioner
Hovda made a motion to table item "15"until further notice. Commissioner
Hastings seconded and the motion passed.
16. 16-1423 Case No. 0816-03 -The City of Corpus Christi: A request to
consider a large-scale Beachfront Construction Certificate to demolish
and reconstruct Beach Access Road 3A, per the 2014 City Bond
Program. Beach Access Road 3A is located, at the north end of the
North Padre Island Seawall and connects with St. Bartholomew Drive
approximately 130 feet west of the St. Bartholomew Drive and
Windward Drive intersection.
Mr.McGinn read item "16"into record as shown above. During preliminary
design it was determined that the existing Beach Access Road 3A was
constructed slightly out of a City easement and therefore required realignment
correction. The property owner requested the City relocate the roadway to the
eastern edge of the property to minimize the impact to future private
development.This allowed a closer alignment with Windward Drive and
shorter roadway length to the beach.
The construction is planned for early 2017 and to be completed prior to spring
break(3/8/2017—3/21/2017), During construction,2-way access will be
maintained on the roadway.
The Nueces County Beach Management Advisory Committee(BMAC)reviewed
the project. The BMAC's recommendation to extend the Beach Access Road
pavement to the seaward point of the adjacent seawall conflicts with the Texas
General Land Office comment not to extend the footprint of the existing
roadway. Currently,the pavement of Beach Access Road 3A terminates about
100 feet landward of the seaward edge of the seawall. BMAC's
recommendation to extend the pavement of the roadway is intended to
discourage vehicular traffic from cutting through the seaward edge of the
dunes to access the roadway.
Engineering Services and Development Services staff concur with the BMAC
recommendations.Issuance of a Nueces County Dune Protection Permit is
expected to occur by December 14th or shortly thereafter.Staff recommends
approval of the Beachfront Construction Certificate.
After Staffs presentation,Vice Chairman Villarreal opened the public hearing.
With no one coming forward,the public hearing was closed. A motion to
approve item"16"was made by Commissioner Baugh and seconded by
Commissioner Hastings. The motion passed.
VIII. Adjournment
There being no further business to discuss,Vice Chairman Villarreal adjourned
the meeting at 6:50 p.m.
