Payne, AICP, Senior Planner Harry Power, City Planner Miguel Saldafia, AICP, City Planner Mic Raasch,AICP, City Planner Wesley Vardeman,Planning Technician Jay Reining, Assistant City Attorney Leo Farias, Special Services Engineer CALL TO ORDER Chairman Quintanilla called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. NON PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEMS PRESENTATION— Discussion of the Northside Plan Mr. Gunning informed the Commission that prior to initiation of the Northside Plan, Staff worked with refineries to identify areas for potential buyout of properties tocreate a buffer area in the Hillcrest/Washington-Coles and Oak Park neighborhoods. Mr. Gunning stated former City Manager, Bill Hennings', directed Staff to initiate a comprehensive plan update for the Northside Study. The Plan boundaries are U.S. Highway 181 on the east, Carbon Plant Road on the west. Interstate 37 on the south, and the north shore of Nueces River and Nueces Bay on the north. Mr. Gunning, referring to the existing land use map, indicated that the area contained three percent single-family, 35 percent light to heavy industrial, 22 percent dredge disposal, and 40 percent vacancy. The first objective of the plan was to identify appropriate land uses for future industrial expansion, and the second objective was to identify Interstate Highway 37 and U.S. Highway 181 as primary evacuation routes for the City. SCANNED %sr yid • Planning Commission Minutes January 6, 1999 • Page 3 In response to Chairman Quintanilla's question regarding infrastructure, Mr. Payne answered there was adequate infrastructure. The infrastructure providers were surveyed, and Staff reviewed the current infrastructure. Mr. Gunning stated the new Harbor Bridge was proposed to be parallel to the existing bridge. Money was designated for the area to upgrade housing, redevelop Harbor Place, and integrate the Northside Plan with the Port's Dock One. Improvements would include Port Avenue as an entry to the port area. Mr. Gunning informed the Commission that the Broadway Wastewater Treatment Plant would be removed by the year 2002; in 2005, the area would be redeveloped as a multi-purpose center. Mr. Gunning continued that Staff recognized there were large areas of residential uses which were viable and met housing needs in the city. Another objective of the plan was to protect the neighborhoods from future encroachment as the industries expand. Mr. Payne stated the draft plan recommends property zoned "R-113" One-Dwelling District be rezoned to "B-3" General Commercial District to create a 1000-foot buffer bounded by Palm Street, Nueces Bay Boulevard, Martin Luther King Drive and West Broadway Street and will also include an area bounded by Summers Street, Peabody Avenue, and West Broadway Street. He indicated most of the buffer area was either owned by Koch Refinery or in the process of being purchased by Koch Refinery. Commissioner Sween-McGloin asked whether Harbor Place development and the multi- purpose facility could be included in the master plan for the Bayfront Arts and Science Park, and Mr. Payne answered in the affirmative. Commissioner Sween-McGloin suggested the area surrounding the future multi-purpose facility be built as a golf course and expressed concerns about having large congregations of residents in the area if an emergency were to occur. Mr. Payne stated the Acceptable Separation Distance meet HUD guidelines from the most explosive storage use in the area. Commissioner Underbrink expressed concerns relating to protecting the industries with a buffer. He suggested placing an illustration of the industrial district on future land use maps. Mr. Payne stated Staff was not concerned about creating buffers for the industries, but the intent was to buffer the residents from the industries. Mr. Gunning commented that the City was creating an area that could develop with less intense uses. Mr. Gunning continued that the Washington-Coles/Hillcrest, Dona Park, Academy Heights, and Manchester Place neighborhoods were viable, and the City was planning to preserve them. Commissioner Serna expressed opinions regarding economic standards of the residents in the Northside area. He believed the 30-year plan was not favorable for the residents. S Planning Commission Minutes January 6, 1999 Page 4 Mr. Gunning stated the Academy Heights, Dona Park, and Manchester Subdivisions have high occupancy rates, and most owners indicated they are not in favor of relocating from the subdivision. Chairman Quintanilla expressed concerns regarding legal ramifications, which could arise because the Northside Plan does not prohibit residential homes in the neighborhood. Mr. Payne suggested adding an illustration of a buffer excluding heavy industry in the Dona Park/Academy Heights area on a future land use map until an agreement was reached between the residents and industries. Commissioner Underbrink believed the Plan should illustrate the 1000-foot buffer between the industrial and residential areas. Commissioner Underbrink stated he agreed with the idea of rezoning one area at a time and suggested illustration of the process on a land use map. He felt a policy should be implemented to support the process. Commissioner Underbrink suggested that the future land use maps should reflect the eventual industrial zoning for the area north of Interstate Highway 37. Mr. Gunning clarified that the study area to become industrial were areas west of Oak Park. In response to Commissioner Sween-McGloin's question concerning schools in the area, Mr. Gunning answered that school district representatives were invited to attend the neighborhood meetings; however, Staff did receive a response. In response to Commissioner Sween-McGloin's statement regarding Hillcrest and Washington/Coles eventually becoming industrial, Mr. Payne stated the preferred plan was not to zone Hillcrest and Washington-Coles as industrial, Commissioner Sween-McGloin suggested the Port Avenue area currently zoned industrial illustrate preferred zoning on a future land use map. Commissioner Sween-McGloin believed the Harbor Place and Bayfront Arts and Sciences would become the perception of the city and stated that Port Avenue would become a major entrance into the Bayfront Arts and Sciences area; therefore, industrial zoning along Port Avenue would not be preferred. In response to Commissioner Underbrink's question regarding future meetings and processes, Mr. Gunning stated the intent was to inform the Commission of the Northside Plan, and he suggested that the Commission could provide recommendations at the January 20th meeting. After the public hearing, the maps could be changed to reflect the Commission's recommendations. Mr. Payne clarified the changes: Change land use along Port Avenue to commercial, change future land use in Dona Park to reflect ultimate zoning with an inset map reflecting interim policy of neighborhood protection. %a. .S Planning Commission Minutes January 6, 1999 Page 5 Chairman Quintanilla suggested Staff change the maps and present the plan to the neighborhood based on comments received from the Commission. Mr. Gunning stated he would prefer to brief the City Manager and Assistant City Managers of the Commission's comments before changes were made. Commissioner Underbrink suggested that the maps reflect a protective area surrounding the Hillcrest and Washington-Coles. Commissioner Richter suggested that the Hillcrest and Washington-Coles area have more than one entrance into the neighborhood and recommended that the street-closures be re-evaluated. Mr. Gunning stated that proposed street-closures were the result of residents' opposition to traffic from Koch Refinery in the neighborhood. Commissioner Noyola asked for clarification of attributes that determined Hillcrest and Washington-Coles to be viable neighborhoods and Dona Park was opposite. Mr. Reining answered that the Dona Park neighborhood had contamination from a smelting company, which was not related to the refineries. Mr. Gunning stated the refineries informed the City of their intent not to expand into the Hillcrest and Washington-Coles areas. * Commissioner Chesney left at 7:45 p.m. In response to Commissioner Underbrink's statements concerning industries' needs, Mr. Gunning stated the Northside Plan was not an industry plan camouflaged as a Planning Department plan. Chairman Quintanilla stated the public hearing would be scheduled for January 20, 1999. COMMITTEE REPORTS ZONING ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMITTEE Commissioner Guzman stated the Committee did not meet.

Inc.: 199-1 REQUEST: "A-1" Apartment House District and "B-4" General Business District to `R-1B" One-family Dwelling District on Bohemian Colony Lands, Section 7, being 8.61acres out of the northwest portion of 36.01 acres out of Lot 8, located on the south side of Holly Road, approximately 110 feet east of Palo Verde Street. • t V Planning Commission Minutes January 6, 1999 • Page 11 Motion by Underbrink, seconded by Guzman, to dispense with reading of Zoning Report and to include the Zoning Report into the record. Motion passed with Guzman, Noyola, Richter, Sema, Sween-McGloin, Underbrink, and Chesney voting "Aye"; Perez voting "Nay"; and Quintanilla being absent. Planning Staff Analysis: • General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from an"A-1" Apartment House District and a"B-4" General Business District to an"R- IB" One-family Dwelling District in order to develop the area with single-family residences. This development would be an extension of the La Joya Estates development adjacent to the west. Access to the subject property would be from the adjacent streets, El Monte and Modesto Streets. • Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall the Comprehensive Plan Elements are supportive of the proposed "R-IB" District. The Westside Area Development Plan future land use map indicates medium-density residential land use for this property. A "R-1B" District is consistent with the residential designation. • Potential Housing Density: An "A-1" District permits a density of 21.78 units per acre or 61 units on 2.81 acres of the subject property. The `B-4" District permits a density of 36.30 units per acre or 210 units on 5.8 acres of the subject property. An"R-1B" District permits a density of 7.26 units per acre or 62 units on the subject property. • Height/BulklSetbacks/Etc.: Development in an "R-1B" District requires a front yard setback of 25 feet, side and rear yard setbacks of 5 feet each, and a height limitation of 35 feet, not to exceed 3 stories. The "A-1" and "B-4" Districts require a front yard setback of 20 feet. In an "A-1" District, a side and rear yard setback of 5 feet each for single-family or duplex uses or 10 feet each for the first floor plus an additional 5 feet for each additional floor for multiple-family uses. This district limits the height to 45 feet, not to exceed 3 stories. The "B-4" District has no side or rear yard setbacks or height limitations. However, if nonresidential development is adjacent to residential zoning, a setback of 10 feet from that residential zoning is required. • Signage: An `R-IB" District permits one wall sign, not to exceed one square foot. Freestanding signs are not permitted except for schools and churches. The "B-4" District permits unlimited wall signs. In this district, freestanding signs within the 20-foot front yard setback are limited to one sign per street frontage with each sign not to exceed an area of 40 square feet or a height of 25 feet. However, freestanding signs located behind the 20-foot front yard setback are unlimited as to size, height, or number. As an "A-1 District, the subject property would be permitted one wall sign not to exceed 30 square feet. / V • Planning Commission Minutes January 6, 1999 Page 12 • Traffic: Development of the subject property with single-family residences could generate approximately 620 vehicle trip ends. The development of the subject property under its current zoning could generate approximately 2,478 vehicle trip ends; 2,083 trip ends from the "B-4" District and 395 trip ends from the "A-I" District. The 620 vehicle trip ends would be a 75% reduction in potential traffic from the subject property. • Parkine/Screenin¢: The Zoning Ordinance requires 2 parking spaces for each unit containing 2 bedrooms or more. Proof of compliance with the parking regulations will required before a building permit is issued. If the subject property were developed with a business use, a standard screening fence would be required along the north and east property lines. If the subject property develops with residential uses, a standard screening fence is not required. • Costs to City: Extension of El Monte and Modesto Streets and the water and sewer lines will be done by the developer as part of the Platting Ordinance requirements. There are no anticipated costs to the City. • Platting: A subdivision plat will be required when the subject property is divided into its individual lots. Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.) a) The proposed "R-1B" District would be an expansion of the "R-1B" District adjacent to the west. b) Approval of the "R-18" District would eliminate the potential conflicts between the existing residential and potential commercial uses. Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.) None. Staff Recommendation: Approval. Thirty-three notices were mailed to property owners within a 200-foot radius, of which one was received in favor and one in opposition. Chairman Quintanilla opened the public hearing. Emil Steve Bolden I, 5602 Palo Verde, stated he was in favor of the rezoning request. Chairman Quintanilla closed the public hearing. Motion by Perez, seconded by Sema, to approve the rezoning per Staff's recommendation. Motion passed unanimously. .. .i • Planning Commission Minutes January 6, 1999 Page 13 David Grant dba Illusions: 199-2 REQUEST: "A-1" Apartment House District and "A-2" Apartment House District to `B-1" Neighborhood Business District on Bayview, Block 2, Lots 6, 7, and 8, located on the northwest corner of Craig and Second Streets. Mr. Saldana read the zoning report into the record: Planning Staff Analysis: • General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from an"A-1"Apartment House District and an"A-2"Apartment House District to a"B- 1" Neighborhood Business District. The purpose of the request is to convert the existing 2-story residence into a full service hair salon, a florist and other retail sales. None of the proposed uses are permitted in the current"A-1" or "A-2" Districts. The subject property contains 3 lots of which 2 lots are zoned an "A-1" District and 1 lot is zoned an "A-2" District. All three lots have frontage along Second Street, (a local street), with one lot also having frontage onto Craig Street, (a local street). With the exception of the one lot, the remainder of this block is zoned an "A-1" District. There is a "B-1" District approximately 250 feet to the south and another`B-1" District approximately 300 feet to the north. Adjacent to the south and west of the subject property, the area is zoned an "AB" Professional Office District. Therefore, an "AB" District on the subject property would be a logical expansion of the adjacent zoning district. This "AB" District would allow the hair salon, but would not allow any retail sales. Even though a`B-1" District is sometimes considered to be compatible with residential uses, an "AB" District would be an expansion of the adjacent"AB"District. • Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the Comprehensive Plan Elements cannot be supportive of the requested `B-1" District. The South Central Area Development Plan future land use map recommends the area to develop with low to mid-rise office and residential uses. This plan recognizes this area as an older residential that is transitioning to a professional/service orientation. It further states that the redevelopment to office or service uses should be encourage as long as they do not detract from existing residential uses. In order to protect existing residential uses and encourage new residential,the City should prevent conversion of property from residential or professional office uses to commercial zoning. Therefore, denial of the `B- 1" District and approval of an "AB" District would be more consistent with the South Central Area Development Plan's recommended land use. • Potential Housing Density: An"A-1"District permits a density of 21.78 units per acre or 6 units on 2 lots of the subject property. The "A-2" District permits a density of 36.30 units per acre or 5units on the one lot of the subject property. The "AB" and "B-1" Districts permit a density of 36.30 units per acre or 15 units on all of the subject property. This increase in density would not adversely impact the area. 4 Planning Commission Minutes January 6, 1999 Page 14 • Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: The "A-1", "A-2", "AB" and "B-1" Districts require a front yard setback of 20 feet. In the "A-1" and "A-2" Districts, a side and rear yard setback requirement of 5 feet each for single-family or duplex uses or 10 feet each for the first floor plus an additional 5 feet for each additional floor for multiple-family uses. An "A- 1" District limits the height to 45 feet, not to exceed 3 stories; whereas, the "A-2" District permits a height of 60 feet, not to exceed 4 stories. The "AB" District requires a side and rear yard setback of 10 feet each and permits a height of 45 feet, not to exceed 3 stories. A "B-1" District requires a side and rear yard setback of 10 feet each for residential development and no setbacks if developed with nonresidential uses unless adjacent to a residential district. If there is residential adjacency, a required setback of 10 feet is required where adjacent to residential. The "B-1" District permits a height of 35 feet, not to exceed 3 stories. The change in zoning would have minimal impact on the area. • Signage: As currently zoned with the "A-1" and "A-2" Districts, the subject property would be permitted one wall sign not to exceed 30 square feet. As an "AB" District, the property would be permitted one wall sign not to exceed 20 square feet. In the `B-1" District, the property would be permitted unlimited wall signage and a freestanding sign not to exceed 40 square feet in area and 20 feet in height. The signage permitted in the "B-1" District could detract from the residential character of the area. • Traffic: Traffic generated from the subject property if fully developed with multi-family dwelling could amount to 71 vehicle trip ends. If the property were developed commercially, it could generate 145 vehicle trip ends. Whereas, an office development could generate 88 vehicle trip ends. The commercial traffic would be double from the residential traffic and 1/3 more from that of office traffic. This increase in traffic would traverse the residential area to the north that could adversely impact the residences. • Parking/Screening: Parking requirements for a retail establishment are one parking space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area or 18 parking spaces for the existing structure. An office use requires parking at a rate of one parking space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area or 15 parking spaces. One of the lots within the subject property is vacant and could be used for parking. Therefore, providing adequate area for parking will not be a problem. Proof of compliance with the parking requirements will be required when the applicant submits an application for a certificate of occupancy. A standard screening fence with a height of not less than 6 feet is required when a business or industrial use locates adjacent to a residential district. A screening fence will be required along the north property line of the subject property. • Costs to City: There are no anticipated costs to the City since the infrastructure to serve the subject property is available. • Platting: The subject property contains 3 platted and further replatting is not required. 'WV Planning Commission Minutes January 6, 1999 Page 15 Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.) a) The requested'B-1" District is compatible with residential uses. b) There is existing '13-1" District within proximity to the subject property. Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.) a) The requested `B-1" District is not consistent with the area development plan's recommended land use. b) An"AB" District is more consistent with the area development plan's recommended land use. c) An"AB"District would be an extension of the adjacent zoning to the south and west. d) The "AB"District permits the hair salon but not retail uses. Staff Recommendation: Denial of the "B-1" District, and in lieu thereof, approval of an "AB" Professional Office District. Mr. Saldafia showed a slide presentation of the subject property and adjacent properties. Mr. Saldana stated there were twenty-five (25) notices were sent to property owners within a 200-foot radius of which two were returned in favor and two were returned in opposition. Chairman Quintanilla opened the public hearing. David Grant, 1127 Second Street, stated he was in agreement with Staffs recommendation. Clark Flato, P.O. Box 1999, representing Dr. Kate Haltom, stated his client was in favor of the rezoning. Chairman Quintanilla closed the public hearing. Motion by Perez, seconded by Guzman, to approve rezoning per Staffs recommendation. Motion passed unanimously. ************** r.
