PRESENTATION—Discussion Item- Airport Master Plan Mr. Gunning stated that the public hearing presentation of the Airport Master Nan to City Council is scheduled for September 21, 1999. Ms. Allis, Director of Aviation, will brief the Commission on the Airport Plan recommendations prior to the scheduled public hearing to the Planning Commission on September 1, 1999. The Airport Master Plan is considered an element of the Comprehensive Plan and therefore, requires the Commission's recommendation to City Council. Ms. Allis presented the Commission with the proposed draft Airport Master Plan and various land uses of the expansion project for the airport. Ms. Allis stated that master plans are normally reviewed every five years, depending on needs of the airport. The last master plan was adopted in 1990. Ms. Allis stated that growth was occurring nearer toward the airport, along South Padre Island and North Padre Island Drives. The City hired consultants to review the airport plans, develop new plans and noise variances for the surrounding area. The adoption and implementation of the plan is an interim process based on planning activity levels. This will allow the Airport to react quickly to the areas where there is growth that could affect general aviation, airfield,terminals. The Airport Master Plan process began in late 1997 to be completed by 1998. However, problems with the terminal area and runway locations included in the original 1990 master plan needed to be resolved. The new terminal complex is proposed to be built at a midfield location with an ultimate parallel runway to the south, which was the long term plan in 1990 for the existing north/south runway and the primary runway. However, structural deficiencies with the terminal halted construction and required redesign. Ms. Allis stated that Capital Improvements to the airport are funded by airport generated funds and that the airport has been self-funding since 1990. The estimated costs for the ultimate airport terminal was $90 million. Due to the fact that the airport could not fund the ultimate terminal, Staff considered building a new terminal on the existing site. After review of benefit/cost analysis and the development of a financial plan, the City Council directed Staff to rehabilitate the terminal area and authorized Staff to look at other alternatives. Ms. Allis highlighted portions of the alternative study of an ultimate airport which includes relocating two runways and keeping the primary runway in its original location. The 1.. .i Planning Commission Minutes August 18, 1999 Page 7 recommended plan will allow thirty (30) terminal gates. The proposed expansion would accommodate larger aircraft and cargo development and maximize use of the existing runway until the parallel runway is needed. Ms. AIlin stated that the estimated cost is from $75 to $80 million. Cargo development is another aspect of the ultimate airport. Ms. Allin stated that there was more cargo business than passenger service and illustrated different types of air traffic that would be diverted to separate runways. Ms. Allin stated that development of cargo business for the airport would increase jobs for the city. Also, it was noted that land acquisitions need to occur based on the ultimate airport plan. The Airport Plan goal is to maintain compatible growth with the community. Ms. Allin expressed concern with some residential areas being developed near the airport as they would be incompatible uses. Ms. Allin stated that a noise compatibility study was conducted and that the results indicated that the airport was a compatible neighbor at the this time. When the airfield is fully developed, the airport would not create an adverse impact to the community due to the farmland that surrounds the airport. The goal is to identify the zoning necessary in the Port/AirportfViolet Area Development Plan to ensure that the airport can grow to benefit the community and that the community could be developed with the airport in the neighborhood. Commissioner Noyola asked with regards to the area boundaries, whether the areas labeled "recommended land acquisition plan" would be necessary for development of the ultimate airport. Ms. Allin answered in the affirmative. Commissioner Noyola asked for a time-line of acquisition of the property. Ms. Allin stated that the City is purchasing land, as funding is available, which is based on the Capital Improvement Program. In response to Commissioner Noyola's question regarding taxing of the property, Ms. Allin stated that when the City purchases the land, it becomes tax-exempt; however, if after the City purchases the land and the land is not needed immediately for expansion, the City leases the property , generally back to the farmers. Commissioner Noyola stated that he believed that the community as well as the City would benefit from the development of the ultimate airport and asked Ms. Allin for specifics regarding the beneficial impact on the region. Ms. Allin stated that taxes obtained from business developing in the area would benefit the community as well as create jobs. Ms. Allin stated that the ultimate plan for Saratoga Boulevard is to develop a south connection to Highway 44 along Buckholt Road. The plan also includes a north connection to Interstate Highway 37. In response to Commissioner Noyola's question regarding types of development in the area, Mr. Gunning answered that as airports expand, especially with cargo transportation, there would be an increase in light industrial uses. Ms. Allin stated that city staff discussed development of an industrial park, hoteUmotels, restaurants, convenience markets, and gas stations which are typical uses near airport facilities. The airport employs a business development manager who is responsible for the economic development initiatives. In response to Commissioner Sween-McGloin's question regarding adoption of the master plan into the Port/Airport/Violet Area Development Plan by the City Council, Mr. Gunning answered that the master plan, adopted, would take precedence over the current plans. The affected Area Development Plans would have to be amended. In response to i•0 Planning Commission Minutes August 18, 1999 Page 8 Commissioner Sween-McGloin's question regarding changing of a building code, Ms. Allin answered that the change would be related to noise regulation. Mr. Gunning stated that there were also concerns regarding building height regulations. Commissioner Underbrink expressed concern regarding the planned location for the future second runway to change 300 feet from the old location and the extension of Saratoga Boulevard. Ms. Allin stated that Staff reviewed the benefits regarding taxi distance for the aircraft. With regard to the green space off Old Brownsville Road, Ms. Allin stated that the area could be developed with compatible uses. The green space is in the high noise area; therefore, the development would need to develop with a use that is not noise sensitive. Ms. Allin stated that consultants measured noise levels according to the Federal Aviation Administration standards. The process included measurement of noise levels from different types of aircraft. The ultimate noise exposure takes into consideration nighttime activity for heavy cargo aircraft, which is the noisiest. Mr. Gunning stated that approval of the Airport Master Plan is scheduled for a public hearing before the Planning Commission on September 1, 1999 and before City Council on September 21, 1999. Telecommunications Tower ordinance—Status Report Mr. Gunning stated that after discussion with Staff regarding cellular towers erected on the island and along Agnes Street, it was discovered that the towers predated the new cellular tower ordinance. However, the permits have not been located. Dining review and search of the cellular towers in the area, an overlay map was created which depicted current cellular tower sites. A GIS overlay map is being produced to provide Staff the information to assess future tower locations and ability to co-locate. Also, master antenna maps from the service providers will help Staff determine if co-location is feasible. Mr. Gunning stated that the cellular service providers were required to submit their master antennae maps in order to obtain building permits. At present, Staff believes the cell tower ordinance is adequate in addressing the co-location issue. However, after one year of experience in using the ordinance, Staff will determine if amendments are necessary with regard to tower spacing. COMMITTEE REPORTS Plat Ordinance Review Committee Commissioner Sween-McGloin stated that the meeting scheduled for August 2, 1999 was cancelled due to an illness of one of the Committee members. A meeting is scheduled for August 25, 1999. .r • Planning Commission Minutes August 18, 1999 Page 9 Zoning Ordinance Review Committee Mr. Gunning stated that there was not a quorum present for the August 9, 1999 meeting.

Mr. Bob Payne, Senior Planner, briefed the Commission on changes made to the proposed"B-IA" zoning district. The allowable hours of operation was changed to 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Mr. Payne continued that the Gardendale Neighborhood Committee decided to allow restaurants only on arterial streets, not on collector or residential streets. Another concern of the residents was traffic. After discussion with David Seiler, Traffic Engineer, it was decided that traffic calming devices could be implemented. Mr. Payne recommended a policy statement be added to the amendments as follows: "Where Nelson, Betty Jean, Burton, Curtis Clark, Bonner or King streets satisfy the minimum criteria identified in the City's traffic Management Program, the City may at its discretion waive cost participation assigned to subdivision residents for the placement of traffic calming devices. These devices may include speed humps and/or traffic calming devices" In response to Commissioner Mims' question regarding restaurants in the Use Regulations, Mr. Payne stated that restaurants are allowed and stated additional restrictions: no serving of alcoholic beverages, no drive-through windows, and access via arterials only. The concern was generated from residents behind Williams Drive. Commissioner Mims expressed concerns with prohibiting drive-through allowances. Mr. Payne stated that there were certain businesses that could provide drive-through services; however, banks and restaurants were excluded. Commissioner Mims believed that screening and fencing would provide sufficient buffer for those uses. Commissioner Richter provided the Commission and Staff with handouts which gave examples of FARs allowable in the zoning district. She suggested that establishments could be developed which would promote foot traffic and decrease vehicular traffic. Commissioner Richter reviewed proposed FARs and allowable uses and asked whether density allowances proposed would increase vitality and encourage a successful commercial development. Mr. Payne stated that the `B-1" District has a floor area of 0.8 for residential with an unlimited density amount for commercial. The"B-1 A"District allows for 5,800 square foot lot by 300 feet deep. Mr. Payne believed that the size could meet requirements. Commissioner Richter felt that with the proposed FAR allowances, there is a potential for vacant space between businesses, thus hindering the desirability of walking from business to business. Chairman Quintanilla compared the desire of building the Gardendale area similar to the Greenville area in Dallas, Texas and stated that the idea of a commercial business area could not be accomplished with the language in the potential "B-IA"District. Mr. Gunning stated that the FAR identified and used in the ordinances have not been tied to space lost for parking requirements. Mr. Gunning stated that the objective of the "B-IA" District is to allow residents along Williams Drive to increase the uses of their property to an extent that it would not have a negative impact or an adverse impact on the adjoining residential properties and to do so by not creating the traffic volumes that are associated with a 'B-I" District. Mr. Saldana stated that 1110 IVO Planning Commission Minutes August 18, 1999 Page 16 when he was a Planner with the City of Dallas, there were numerous complaints received from citizen residing near the Greenville area. The complaints were centered around traffic and noise. Mr. Saldafia continued that with regard to open space,the parking area can be considered as open space,but it cannot be designated as a nonvehicular open space. In response to Commissioner Underbrink's question regarding density allowances, Mr. Payne answered that the density allowances are based on the traffic capacity of the adjacent street system. Commissioner Underbrink suggested that the FAR be decreased to allow for uses that would not adversely affect the residents. Commissioner Sween-McGloin suggested that the number of parking spaces allowed be reduced. Chairman Quintanilla opened the public hearing. H. G. Garrett stated he is a member of the Gardendale Committee and that the Committee did not want restaurants in the area; however, as a compromise, the Committee decided to allow restaurants on arterials, not collector or residential streets. Mr. Garrett stated that there are several families making Gardendale their homes. The residents are dealing with traffic associated with the development of Moore Plaza. Mr. Garrett believed the proposed "B-IA" District was a district that could work with the residents of Gardendale. With regards to FARs for the area development, Mr. Garrett stated that he believed the businesses that would be developing in the area would probably purchase two or three lots to build a business; however, the uses need to be compatible with the neighborhood. Mr. Garrett stated the met with David Seiler, Traffic Engineer, regarding traffic issues. Mr. Seiler suggested traffic controls and the Committee was in agreement. Mr. Garrett stressed that restaurants would be allowed only on arterials and with relation to Gardendale,a restaurant could be developed only on Holly Road. Carol Norrell, representing Edith Fallor who resides at 5233 Curtis Clark, stated that she believed the plan as a whole was a good plan. She expressed concern with density due to the fact that residents on Williams Drive would be allowed to develop at a higher rate than other residents due to lot size. In response to Ms. Norrell's question regarding adult day care centers, Mr. Gunning stated that adult day cares have different requirements by state law. However, the adult day care centers did not include the rehabilitation centers or half-way houses. Terese Pettus, 5302 Curtis Clark, stated that in her opinion, the consensus of her neighbors was that they did not want change. Ms. Pettus stated that restrictions on businesses would make a business thrive. Ms. Pettus stated that the density that would be allowed would place traffic in the neighborhood that a collector cannot withstand. She believed that the allowable businesses in the proposed "B-IA" District are uses that are compatible with the neighborhood; however, she preferred screening with a masonry fence as opposed to a wooden fence. Ms. Pettus requested that the change from residential to business be a gentle transition and stated that she believed that open space with trees was attractive. Ms. Pettus stated that the blocks in the Gardendale neighborhood were one-quarter mile; thus, if pedestrian traffic were proposed, a person would need to walk one-quarter mile to Betty Jean Drive, one-quarter mile to Williams, and one-quarter mile to visit the businesses. She stressed that with the South Texas heat,residents would not prefer to walk, but drive to their destination. • Planning Commission Minutes August 18, 1999 Page 17 Juan Gallegos, 5113 Williams, expressed similar concerns regarding traffic, density, and restaurant use. He stated that he believed that the neighborhood needed to be protected. David McCaig, 4625 Stonegate Way, gave a brief history of the plans for the Gardendale area and expressed similar concerns regarding traffic. David Seiler, City Traffic Engineer, stated that he met with the Committee to discuss traffic concerns. Mr. Seiler stated that the City has adopted the Residential Traffic Management Program. Mr. Seiler stated the plan has criteria for implementation of speed humps. The area needs to be studied to examine the placement of the traffic management devices, as required by the policy statement. Mr. Seiler stated that depending on the level of traffic for the area and the satisfaction of the criteria, the traffic control devices could be funded by the City. Chairman Quintanilla stated that the residents of his area funded placement of speed humps in his neighborhood and the traffic amount as well as traffic speed has decreased tremendously. Chairman Quintanilla gave direction to Mr. Seiler to review the traffic count on Williams Drive for traffic control devices. With regard to a question regarding the traffic count reflecting through traffic as opposed to neighborhood traffic, Mr. Seiler answered that the majority of the traffic on Williams Drive and Betty Jean Drive is through traffic destined to Moore Plaza. There is not an assessment of where traffic is destined. Mr. Seiler stated that the primary purpose of speed humps is to control speed, and they have the added influence of diverting traffic. Devertors could be installed in Gardendale, but not on Williams Drive,which is a through street and traffic management control devices cannot be installed on residential collector streets. Mr. Seiler stated that the Traffic Engineering Department would review the area to find a feasible resolution. In response to a question regarding commercial development along Betty Jean Drive, Mr. Payne answered that the proposed plan illustrates commercial along Holly Road and Williams Drive. The commercial is approximately 300 feet deep and there is not any aditional commercial recommended on Betty Jean Drive. Chairman Quintanilla clarified that the 300 feet would consist of the side of a business without access onto Betty Jean Drive. Ms. Norrell stated that the Gardendale residents are paying for City decisions made when Moore Plaza was developed. In her opinion, the City is responsible for problems, which have occurred and asked that the residents not have to pay for the improvements. Mr. Gallegos asked whether Curtis Clark Drive and Bonner Drive be closed at S. Staples Street and Everhart Road. Mr. Gunning stated that closing the streets would not be a viable alternative. Mr. Payne stated that closing the streets would violate the Plat Ordinance which restricts cul-de-sacs longer than 750 feet and continued that the blocks in Gardendale are one-quarter of a mile in length.
