Discussion Of Northwest Area Development Plan Draft
Mr. Robert Payne, Senior Planner of Comprehensive Planning, introduced Mr. Mic Raasch, City Planner,
and presented information to the Commission for discussion regarding an Update of Northwest Area Development
and Planning Process. The Northwest Area Development Plan was adopted in 1988. Planning Staff is
recommending that the plan be expanded to include the area within the Bluntzer Area Development Plan and the
portion of Port/Airport Violate Area Development west of Rand Morgan Road and north of State Highway 44. This
consolidation of ADP areas will provide a more efficient and unified plan for the Northwest area.
Mr. Payne stated that the update focuses on transportation and future land use issues. The growing traffic
congestion in the Northwest area is well known and the primary purpose is to provide a guide for capital
improvements that will relieve the congestion problem. Future land use must also be addressed since the
transportation network is a function of the land uses that it will serve. However, the planning process will provide
an opportunity for other issues of concern to be brought up by service departments,city boards and commission,and
the public. For this reason, the plan format includes some policy recommendations on all of the topical areas
customarily covered by an Area Development Plan.
Mr. Payne outlined the proposed planning process. 1) Discuss the draft plan with the Planning
Commission and set a public hearing date; 2) Public hearing on August 28, 2000 with the Transportation Advisory
Committee; 3) Planning Commission conducts at least one public hearing, revises the draft, and recommends the
plan for City Council adoption; 4) Planning Commission and Staff submit the plan to the City Manager for
consideration, including at least one public hearing as required by City Charter, and adoption on second reading by
City Council.
Mr.Payne highlighted the environment section of the report by stating that the policy statement encourages
preservation of the expansive open space within the Nueces River floodplain. With regard to the land use portion of
the plan,the plan statement states that areas designated Conservation/Preservation are to be conserved and protected.
This designation applies only to existing floodways along the Nueces River. This land use designation includes a

continuation of existing agricultural uses, natural preserves, and several large sand and gravel excavation operations
within the Nueces River floodplain. Areas designated for Agricultural and Rural uses are intended to encourage
continuation of farming, ranching, and residential activities in a rural setting. These activities should be consistent
with the City's desire to protect water quality in the region's water supply watershed and create minimal demand for
urban public services. New development is recommended at a density of one(1) residential unit per five(5)acres in
the water supply watershed. Areas outside the water supply watershed area are recommended for one (1) unit per
five acres to one (1) unit per acre until public services levels can support higher density residential development.
Mr.Payne stated that the future land use and transportation are the main focus of the plan for ultimate development.
The future land use map illustrates large areas to the west with residential development.
In outlying rural areas, commercial development of a small scale for convenience shopping needs is
necessary and desirable to serve the outlying portions of the Plan area. Mr. Payne stated that currently there is strip
commercial along Northwest Boulevard which creates many conflicts with traffic issues. The expansion of
commercial uses along Northwest Boulevard(F.M. 624)should be controlled and/or minimized to protect the traffic
carrying capacity of Northwest Boulevard (F.M. 624). He continued that the Industrial District#2 is not subject to
zoning or building codes.
With regard to Transportation, Mr. Payne stated that the plan recommends Northwest Boulevard
(F.M.624) as an arterial with an ultimate 120-foot minimum right-of-way, six lanes, and a median. Median cuts
should maintain a spacing of not less than 600 feet or the State's standards, whichever is greater. This type of
roadway will increase the carrying capacity of Northwest Boulevard (F.M. 624) at its approach to 5 Points by 35
percent. The City will encourage TxDot and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to make these
improvements one of their highest transportation improvement priorities.
County Road 52 is recommended as an arterial with an ultimate 100 feet minimum right-of-way, 4 lanes
and a landscaped median. County Road 52 is recommended to be improved between County Road 75 and the South
Loop Expressway. Portions of County Road 52 east from the South Loop Expressway and west from County Road
75 are recommended as a collector with an ultimate 70 feet minimum right-of-way with four (4) lanes. County
Road 52 will serve as a relief route for through traffic to avoid Northwest Boulevard(F.M. 624)congestion west of
5 Points. County Road 75 extension will serve as the connection between Northwest Boulevard (F.M. 624) and
County Road 52 and provide east bound traffic an easy connection to County Road 52.
Commissioner Kelly expressed concerns with a plat with a 70-foot right-of-way that was approved by the
Commission. Mr. Payne stated that after speaking with David Seiler it was decided that the 70-foot roadway would
be sufficient for the area.
Commissioner Mims questioned whether TxDot or Nueces County would participate in road construction
for County 52. Mr. Payne replied that Nueces County stated that they would build a portion of the road. However,
there are right-of-way issues. The State has planned to build an overpass on County Road 52, but have not
committed to building County Road 52.
Mr. Payne requested a direction regarding the public hearing process. He stated that the Planning
Commission could hold a public hearing or Staff could schedule meetings with the Northwest Planning Group and
other concerns citizens who could provide input. Staff could request information from TxDot regarding plans for
County Road 52. The Commission stated that they preferred to receive information from TxDot and Nueces County
and to have Staff meet with the residents in the Northwest area.
Future Scheduled Meetings
Chairman Berlanga asked the Commission to review the schedule provided in the Commission packet.
Mr.Saldana stated that if the December 20, 2000 or the January 3, 2001 meetings were going to be cancelled, Staff
needed to be notified as soon as possible to be able to prepare for the rescheduling process.

Other Matters
Chairman Berlanga requested Staff to place a discussion item on the agenda for the next meeting regarding
implementation of a 3-minute rule. Mr.Saldana stated that he would place the item on the agenda for discussion.
Chairman Berlanga stated that he preferred to initiate a 3-minute limit on people wishing to speak on behalf
of a case presented to the Commission. He continued that a 3-minute rule would eliminate repetitiveness and keep
the meetings on track. The Commission concurred. After a discussion with Legal,the Commission decided to place
a discussion item on the agenda for August 30,2000 to address the 3-minute request.
Planning Project and Priorities
Mr. Saldana informed the Commission that Mr. Gunning is scheduled to meeting with the Skip Noe, •
Deputy City Manager, to discuss project priorities. After Mr. Gunning meetings with the Deputy City Manager,he
will provide a list of project priorities to the Commission.

ZONING CASES
New Zoning Cases
Slim's Auto Sales&Slim's Pickens: 0800-04
REQUEST: "I-2" Light Industrial District to "I-3" Heavy Industrial District on RA-Rose Industrial Site,
Block 3, Lot I and located on the southwest corner of Agnes Street and South Navigation
Boulevard
Mr. Saldana presented a slide illustration of the subject property and the surrounding area. The subject
property is part of 904.18 acres of land that is zoned an"I-2" District and is partially developed with various types
of industrial uses and retail establishments. To the north, there are 503.63 acres of land zoned an"I-3"District that
are developed with various types of warehouses,distribution centers and metal salvage yards.
Mr. Saldana continued that in June 2000,a notice of violation was sent to the property owner and applicant
advising them that a change in use required a Certificate of Occupancy and that an auto salvage yard was not
permitted in the existing "I-2" District. In July 2000, another notice was sent stating that the aforementioned
violations had not been corrected.
The applicant requested a change of zoning to an "I-3" Heavy Industrial District in order to continue
operating an auto salvage yard. A used auto parts sales building and an auto sales lot currently are being operated
by the applicant. The "I-3" District requires that an auto salvage yard be screened for view through the use of a
screening fence,shrubbery,or other similar substitute. A screening fence currently exists between the salvage yard
and Agnes Street. Screening along South Navigation Boulevard will be required if the zoning is approved.
Mr.Saldana stated that the applicant would need to provide 16 parking spaces for auto sales and two (2) parking
spaces for the employees.
The subject property is within the Westside Area Development Plan that recommends the area to develop
with light industrial uses. The requested"I-3"District would be an extension of the "I-3"District to the north and
would not adversely impact the adjacent properties. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.
There were ten (10) notices mailed to property owners within a 200-foot radius of the subject property of which
none were returned in favor or opposition.
Chairman Berlanga opened the public hearing.

Raymond Dalt, New Braunfels, stated that he is co-owner of the subject property. 2.5 acres of the subject
property is currently fenced. He continued that he was in agreement with the fencing requirement and the parking
space requirement.
Public hearing was closed.
Motion by Sween-McGloin, seconded by Kelly, to approve an"I-3" District. Motion passed unanimously
with Cheek being absent.
Al Landry,Jr.: 0800-05
REQUEST: "AB" Professional Office District to "B-4" General Business District on Ocean View Addition,
Park Block, Lots 17 and 18 and located on the northwest corner of Elizabeth Street and Santa Fe
Street
Mr. Saldana presented a slide illustration of the subject property and the surrounding area. The subject
property is part of 82.19 acres of land zoned an "AB" District and developed with a mixture of single-family and
multiple-family residences and offices. There are other pockets of property zoned an "AB" District. North of the
subject property, there is a tract of land, 0.34 acre, developed with apartments. To the south, there are 1.31 acres
developed with medical offices. Adjacent to the south and east of the subject property, there are 27.87 acres of land
zoned a "B-4" District and predominantly developed with hospital and medical related uses. There are three (3)
tracts of land zoned a "B-1" District, 2.15 acres to the north that is developed with a parking lot, 0.21 acre to the
southwest containing an office,and 1.86 acres to the south containing a parking lot,an office and a restaurant.
Mr. Saldana said that the applicant requested change of zoning to convert the existing medical office into a
pharmacy. The proposed pharmacy is not intended to be the typical pharmacy in that they will conduct business
directly with the surrounding medical facilities. There will be no walk-in traffic. A pharmacy is classified as a retail
establishment and therefore, requires a business district. The requested "B-4" District is an expansion of the
adjacent "B-4" District to the south and east. However, the proposed pharmacy does not require that intense of a
zoning district. A`B-1"Neighborhood Business District would allow the pharmacy. The"B-1"District would also
act as a transition between the high intense"B-4"District and the low-intense"AB"District.
The subject property is within the Southeast Area Development Plan which recommends the area to
develop with professional office uses. The requested"B-4" District is not consistent with the Plan's recommended
land use. However, a`B-1"District that acts as a transition between the"B-4"District and"AB"District would be
consistent with the Plan's policy statement. Therefore,denial of the"B-4"District, and in lieu thereof,approval of a
"B-1" Neighborhood Business District. There were ten (10) notices mailed to property owners within a 200-foot
radius of the subject property of which four (4) were returned in favor and none were returned in opposition. A
letter in favor was received from the subject property owner.
Chairman Berlanga opened the public hearing.
Jim Bowler, 5922 Parkland, distributed a map depicting surrounding properties zoned"B-4"District. Mr.
Bowler said that the applicant's, Mr. Landry, business is proposed to delivery pharmaceuticals to their clients and
will not have walk-in customers. Their clients are hospitals and doctors' offices. Mr. Bowler requested the `B-4"
District to conform to the neighborhood. He continued that Mr. Landry is leasing the property and if Mr. Landry
decides to move his business to another location, a"B-4"District zoning would benefit the property owner when he
attempts to sell the property. In response to Commissioner Salazar's question regarding advantages to "B-4"
District zoning, Mr. Bowler reiterated the advantages for selling the property and added that the increase in signage
allowance was another factor.
Public hearing was closed.
In response to Commission's question regarding the "B-1" District, Mr. Saldana stated that the applicant
could develop the pharmacy in a'B-1"District.

zoning. Motion passed unanimously with Cheek being absent.
Taft Investment Trust: 0800-06
REQUEST: "A-1"Apartment House District to "B-3" Business District on South Park Subdivision, Block 2,
Lot 44 and located on the northwest corner of South Padre Island Drive and Kasper Street
Mr. Saldana presented a slide illustration of the subject property and the surrounding area. The subject
property is part of an area containing of approximately 5.26 acres of land zoned an "A-1" District and developed
with single family residences. To the east, there is a 0.71-acre tract of land zoned a "B-1" District with a Special
Permit and developed with an auto sales use. Further east, there is a 0.69 acre tract of land zoned an"AB"District
with a Special Permit and developed with a hair salon with retail sales. Adjacent to the north of the"A-1"District,
there is a large area extending north of McArdle Road and containing 2,126.98 acres of land zoned an "R-1B"
District that has been developed with single-family residences. The "B-4" District located to the south and west,
extends along South Padre Island Drive,contains 88.33 acres and is developed with auto sales lots,offices and retail
stores.
Mr. Saldana stated that the applicant requested a change of zoning to convert the residential lot into a used
car sales lot. There is an 832 square foot residential structure and a 200 square foot garage building that the
applicant proposes to remodel into an office and storage area. The subject property is located at the intersection of a
local street, Kasper Street, nonresidential traffic may traverse the residential neighborhood, which is contrary to
adopted City policies. A "B-3" District is not appropriate at this time due to its adjacency to existing residential
uses. Although the Southeast Area Development Plan recommends the area to develop with general commercial
uses,its policies state that the transition should be a gradual transition. The"B-3"District permits uses that are not
appropriate when adjacent to residential uses. However,with direct access to an expressway frontage road, an auto
sales use may be appropriate, especially since an auto sales lot is currently operating across Kasper Street from the
subject property. The auto sale use may be permitted under a Special Permit to ensure no access to Kasper Street
and to limit the number of vehicles sold on the subject property. Staff has realized that a typical single-family lot
may not be adequate to accommodate an unrestricted auto sales lot. The auto sales lot to the east packs the vehicles
in without providing off-street customer parking and has received a notice of violation for the lack of off-street
parking. Therefore,Staff is of the opinion that the subject property could accommodate twelve(12)vehicles for sale
and the required off-street parking of three(3)parking spaces.
The subject property is within the Southeast Area Development Plan which recommends the area to
develop with general commercial uses. However, other policies state that the transition from residential to
nonresidential should be a gradual transition. Therefore, Staff recommends denial of the "B-3" District, and in lieu
thereof, approval of a`B-1"Neighborhood Business District with a Special Permit for an auto sales use subject to
the following conditions:
1) Use. The only use authorized by this Special Permit other than the basic `B-1" Neighborhood
Business District permitted uses is an auto sales lot. No on-site repair work of any type may be
performed.
2) Auto Sales. The auto sales use is limited to no more than twelve(12)vehicles for sale at one time.
3) Lighting~ All exterior lighting must be directional and shielded. Lighting must be directed away
from the surrounding residences and public rights-of-way.
4) Speakers. Outside paging,speakers,telephone bells,or similar devices are prohibited.
5) Access. Vehicle access or drive approach to Kasper Street are prohibited. The existing drive
approach on Kasper Street must be removed and replaced with full curb and gutter before a
certificate of occupancy is issued.
6) Screening. A standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet must be located
along the north and west property lines. However,within ten(10) feet of the Kasper Street right-
of-way line, the screening fence must have a height of three (3) feet. A length not to exceed five
(5) feet and ten (10) feet from the Kasper Street right-of-way line may be used to transition the
• 410

fence from a height of six(6) feet to three(3)feet. The fence must be installed before a certificate
of occupancy is issued.
7) Time Limit. Such Special Permit shall be deemed to have expired within one(1)year of the date
of this ordinance unless the property is being used as outlined in condition #1 and in compliance
with all other conditions.
There were 24 notices were mailed to subject property owners within a 200-foot radius of the subject
property of which one(1)was returned in favor and two(2)were returned in opposition.
Chairman Berlanga opened the public hearing.
Mike Kasper, representing Taft Investment Trust, stated that he agreed with the information provided with
respect to the lot across the street from the subject property. However, Mr. Kasper requested that the applicant not
be penalized for the action of another business in the area. He plans to lease the property and will require the lessee
to abide by the Special Permit as recommended by Staff. Mr. Kasper submitted a site plan illustrating 13 parking
spaces for vehicles to be sold and three (3) additional parking spaces for employees and customers. Access to the
business will be via South Padre Island Drive and access to the residential,Kasper Street,will be eliminated.
Edmund Garza,5037 Kasper,expressed concern with the traffic volume that will result from another car lot
on the corner of Kasper Street and South Padre Island Drive. Mr. Garza said that there are children in the area due
to the adjacency of an elementary school and believes the danger level will increase. He said that people view the
vehicles for sale as they drive along Kasper Street. He explained that patrons of the existing car lot park their
vehicles in front of his home while they negotiate the price of a vehicle due to the fact that the owner of the car lot
has not provided adequate space for customers to park on the property. Mr. Garza stated that vehicles accessing
Kasper Street via South Padre Island Drive cannot view vehicles going north on Kasper Street which is another
dangerous issue. He requested that a no parking sign be erected to eliminate on-street parking. With regard to the
subject property, Mr. Garza stated that he does not believe the subject property is large enough to accommodate 13
vehicles for sale and three (3) additional spaces. Mr. Garza added that the owner of the property across from the
subject property hired a towing company to remove vehicles at night,which is disruptive to the neighborhood.
Elsa Garza, 5037 Kasper,stated that patrons park along South Padre Island Drive to patronize the business.
She stated that the view is block of oncoming traffic on South Padre Island Drive which makes it dangerous to exit
from Kasper Street.
Mr.Kaspar agreed with the neighbors and stated that he and his client would abide with any conditions that
will be implemented in the Special Permit.
Cynthia Franco, 5038 Kasper, stated that she has received notices of zoning violations due to the car lot
across from the subject property parking vehicles on the grass front of her home and requested information to
remedy the situation.
Public hearing was closed.
Notation was made to include condition#8 as Landscaping requirement.
Commission expressed concerns regarding patrons of the existing car lot parking in front of the residents
homes and offered suggestions to remedy the situation. The Police Department could issue citations for vehicles
parked on the public right-of-way or placement of no parking signs could be placed in front of the residents homes.
There was also concern with adequate parking for the proposed car lot on the subject property and the impact it will
have on the residents of the adjacent neighborhood.
In response to Vice Chairman Mims' question regarding "B-1" District uses, Mr. Saldaiia listed some
allowable uses as being a convenience store, fueling station, video rental business, or a restaurant with or without
alcoholic beverages. Mr. Saldaiia continued that a `B-1" District allows a larger sign as compared to an "A-1"

.)istrict which allows a 40-square foot sign. The"AB"District is more restrictive. A "B-1A" District would allow
0 square foot sign and/or a wall sign on the building.
Motion by Amsler, seconded by Mims, to approve a"B-1"Neighborhood Business District with a Special
?ermit subject to eight(8)conditions and amending condition#2 to allow 13 cars. Motion passed unanimously with
Amsler, Berlanga, Kelly, Mims, and Richter voting "Aye"; Salazar, Sween-McGloin, and Zamora voting "Nay";
