Mr.Payne read the Zoning Report into the record as follows: Planning Staff Analysis: • General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from a `B-l" Neighborhood Business District to a"B-4"General Business District in order to expand the adjacent auto sales lot onto the subject property. This property fronts an expressway, South Padre Island Drive,and is bordered by "B-4"District on the south and west. To the east is an area zoned a`B-1"District that is bordered on its east by a "B-3" Business District. Therefore, a "B-4" District on the subject property would be an expansion of the adjacent "B-4" District. The subject property also fronts a local residential street, Woodlawn Drive, that connects to McArdle Road on the north and South Padre Island Drive on the south. Woodlawn Drive is frequently used as a connecting street for residential, school, and nonresidential traffic. The increased traffic impact from the expanded auto sales lot would be minimal. • Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: The Comprehensive Plan and Southeast Area Development Plan support general commercial uses on the South Padre Island Drive frontage. • Potential Housing Density: Both districts,"B-1"and"B-4"Districts,permit a density of 36.30 units per acre or 35 units on the subject property. The change of zoning will not affect the residential density of the property. • Height/Bulk/Setback/Etc.: Both districts,"B-1"and"B-4"Districts, require a front yard setback of 20 feet and no side or rear yard setbacks,unless adjacent to a residential district. Along the residential adjacency, a setback of 10 feet is required. The subject property will be required to set back at least 10 feet from its north property line. The "B-1" District limits the height to 35 feet, not to exceed 3 stories. In a"B-4" District, there are no height limitations. • Sienave: In both districts,"B-1"and"B-4"Districts,walls signs are permitted without limitations as to number or size. Freestanding signs in the "B-1" District are limited to one (1) freestanding sign per premise with an area not to exceed 40 square feet and a height not to exceed 20 feet. Limitations of freestanding signs in a"B- 4"District are based on location of the sign. If the freestanding sign is located within the front yard setback,it is limited to one(I) sign per street frontage not to exceed 40 square feet in area and 25 feet in height. Signs located outside the front yard setback are unlimited as to size,height,or number. Off-premise signs(billboards) are not permitted in either of these districts. • Traffic: The proposed auto sales lot is projected to generate approximately 129 vehicle trip ends per day. If the subject property was developed with 35 apartment units, it could potentially generate 350 vehicle trip ends per day. Therefore, the proposed auto sales lot would reduce the amount of traffic generated, which would reduce the potential adverse affect on the residential units to the north. • Parg: An auto sales lot is required to provide 1 parking space for every 400 square feet of gross floor area. Using the existing 2,695 square foot building,seven(7)parking spaces would be required. There is sufficient area on the subject property to provide the required number of parking spaces. A standard screening fence with a height of six(6) feet is required when a commercial or industrial use locates next to a residential V Planning Commission Minutes March 17, 1999 Page 6 district. Development of the subject property will require a standard screening fence along its north property line. • Costs to City: The subject property has water and wastewater lines available. Woodlawn Drive is not improved to its ultimate width. Improvement of this road may require the City to make the required road improvements. • Platting: The subject property contains two(2)platted lots and further replatting is not required. Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.) a) The requested"B-4"District would be an expansion of the adjacent"B-4"District to the south and west. b) The requested "B-4" District is consistent with the adopted Southeast Area Development Plan's recommended land use. c) The proposed auto sales lot would be an expansion of the adjacent auto sales lot. • Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.) a) An auto sales lot generates noise from outside speakers and telephone bells. b) Traffic from the proposed use could traverse the residential area to the north, which is not consistent with adopted City policies. • Staff Recommendation: Approval. Fifteen(15)notices were mailed to property owners within a 200-foot radius of the subject property. Two (2)were received in favor,of which one was submitted by the applicant,and three were received in opposition. Chairman Quintanilla opened the public hearing. Rick Caruthers, representing the applicant, 4505 Van Em, gave a brief history of his client's auto sale business and stated his client supported Staffs recommendation. Public hearing was closed. Commissioner Underbrink expressed concern regarding egress of the business into the residential area. Mr.Gunning informed the Commission that the Driveway Ordinance does not allow driveways to exit into residential areas. Motion by Sema, seconded by Guzman,to approve Staff's recommendation. Motion passed unanimously with Perez being absent. FY99 CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL ACTION PLAN Mr. Gunning introduced W. Thomas Utter, Assistant City Manager and Norbert Hart,Director of Housing and Community Development. Chairman Quintanilla stated Commissioners Noyola and Richter would be abstaining from CDBG discussions and action.

The Commission received additional information on Communities in Schools, Commissioner David Noyola supporting the Multi-purpose Center, Commissioner Sylvia Perez supporting West Oso Independent School District, Marco A. Cisneros, Director of Park and Recreation, regarding the Central Kitchen,and Corpus Christi Tennis Association. lose ..
