Chairman Mime stated that Staff received a letter from Ted Turner, applicant of Tabled Zoning Application No. 584-3, Turner Landscape, Inc. , requesting that the zoning application remain on the table. Mr. Turner indicated that he would like his zoning application considered at this meeting. PUBLIC HEARING NEW ZONINGS Mr. & Mrs. Crain Fletcher: 594-4 REQUEST: From "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District to "AB" Professional Office District on Peary Place Annex "D", located on the west side of Paul Jones Avenue, approximately 600 feet south of South Padre Island Drive. Mr. Gunning described the land use and zoning in the surrounding area, and stated that the applicant is requesting a * Chairman Mims left the meeting at 9 :00 p.m. ** Commissioner Cook left the meeting at 7 :00 p.m. SCANNED %we 44.10 Planning Commission Meeting May 18, 1994 Page 2 zoning change to "AB" Professional Office District on the subject property, to establish an alcohol and drug residency treatment center. The property is currently occupied by a church and parsonage. Mr. Gunning summarized the Staff Report, informing the Commission of applicable Policy Statements, and quoted from the Southside Area Development Plan. An "AB" Professional Office District is the least intense non- residential district that permits an alcohol and drug treatment center. The proposed residency center (permitted in an "AB" and "A-2" District) is planned to house twenty (20) clients, a resident manager, and a cook, within the existing church. The separate parsonage structure is to be converted to offices for the counselors, program manager, and the administrator. All clients to be enrolled at this center will do so voluntarily. Drug rehab centers where the residents are under the supervision of the State Department of Corrections require a "B-4" District. The subject property is bounded by commercially zoned and developed property to the north and west and a large undeveloped residential tract to the south. The area across Paul Jones Avenue to the east is developed with single-family residences. The subject property fronts on Paul Jones Avenue, a collector, which connects to a major thoroughfare, South Padre Island Drive. The requested "AB" District would function as a transitional district between the more intense commercial district and low-density residential district. The south boundary of the subject property would be a logical extension of the adjacent commercial district, however, further extensions of non-residential zoning south could negatively impact the existing residential area until such time a second collector street outlet is constructed. Paul Jones Avenue currently is the only collector access in and out of this area. With regard to parking, the proposed center is classified as an institution similar to a convalescent home which requires one (1) parking space for each five (5) patient beds. This facility will contain 22 beds, therefore, a minimum of five (5) parking spaces are required. Mr. Gunning read to the Commission the pros and cons of this application from the Staff Report (copy on file) . Twelve notices were mailed, none were returned in favor, and five in opposition, plus a petition in opposition with 108 signatures. Staff recommends approval. Mr. A.C. Fletcher, the applicant, appeared and stated that their dream is to help other people, either at this location or `i Planning Commission Meeting May 18, 1994 Page 3 some other place. He added that they are backed by the State, and once they find a location, the State will fund the facility. He explained that the facility will house women who want to be reunited with their families. Chairman Mims asked if the church is in operation, to which Mr. Fletcher responded in the affirmative. Mr. N.P. Millinger, 1626 Paul Jones, appeared in opposition, stating that he lives in front of the property. He stated that he was opposed to the proposed zoning because it would devalue his property and degrade his neighborhood. He commended the applicants for what they want to do, but felt that the proposed use should be located elsewhere. He requested that the application be denied. Mr. Billy Deel, 1926 Merriman, appeared in opposition. He stated that traffic and parking from the proposed use will be a problem. He noted that property in the vicinity was previously zoned "A-2", but it has not been developed under that zoning. Mr. John Cox, 1634 Paul Jones, appeared in opposition, stating that he did not want the proposed use in the neighborhood, and wanted to register opposition to the change of zoning. He expressed surprise at Staff's recommendation. Mr. Robert Moss, 1921 Wallace, appeared in opposition, stating that Paul Jones is the main entrance to their subdivision, and young people would have to pass this facility to come into their subdivision. He sated that he has seen similar facilities which have become dilapidated, and pointed out that there is a park nearby which the City recently made nice improvements. He felt that the park and the proposed facility would not be compatible. Mr. Moss informed the applicant that there is a similar facility on South Alameda Street which is now empty, and for sale. Ms. Kathy Fletcher, the applicant, appeared and explained that the residents in the proposed use would already have been to a treatment center, and then come to their facility to learn to cope with family problems before reuniting with their families. She added that they will make major improvements to the property, and pointed out that the previously mentioned property on South Alameda Street was a drug treatment center, and is up for sale for $1.4 million, which is out of their price range. Ms. Fletcher pointed out that most of the residents would not have cars, therefore, traffic would not be a problem. She was of the opinion that the proposed use would not devalue property value. Rev. Robert Giese (Pastor of the Church property for sale) , 312 Shangrila, appeared in favor of the application, and noted that there is a lot of drugs in the community overall. He noted that Planning Commission Meeting May 18, 1994 Page 4 they have helped many people, and they have improved the neighborhood. He added that if people across the street would not park on their parking lot, they would have sufficient parking. Mr. Raymond Hasker, 1813 Wallace appeared in opposition, and asked the following questions: Why is Staff recommending approval? Will the proposed facility exist as a drug rehabilitation center from now on? - After the money stops, where do we go from there? The public hearing was declared closed. Commissioner Hall was concerned that the opposition is not to rezoning, but rather to the proposed use. He pointed out that the property immediately adjacent to the north is zoned "B-1" Neighborhood Business District, a more intense zoning than "AB" Professional Office District, and the proposed facility could locate there without a change of zoning. Motion by Taylor, seconded by Hall, that this request for "AB" Professional Office District be forwarded to the City Council with the recommendation that it be approved. Motion passed with Canales, Hall, Meinrath, Taylor and Mime voting aye, Bertuzzi, Perez and Serna voting nay, and Cook being absent. NEW PLATS Consideration of plats as described on attached addendum. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Mr. Harvey stated that there are two items to be discussed pertaining to the Comprehensive Plan, and suggested that the second item be moved to later in the agenda. Commissioners concurred. Public hearing to invite citizen comments on the proposed Southeast Area Development Plan Mr. Bob Payne, Sr. Planner, informed the Commission that he received a letter from Pharaoh Valley Neighborhood Association with several suggestions. He also reported that Staff is still studying the Spohn Hospital area, and will meet with Spohn Hospital and Traffic Engineering next week. Mr. Payne reviewed the highlights of the Pharaoh Valley Neighborhood Association's letter. Some of the highlights included the following: V V Planning Commission Meeting May 18, 1994 Page 5 - Designate Ennis Joslin a four-lane street like Ocean Drive with landscaping or sound abatement walls; - Rezone commercial property between Pelican Bay subdivision and McArdle Road to low-medium density single-family or low density multi-family; - Relocate view vista point from the Pharaoh Valley Drainage outfall to an area across from McArdle Drive; - Designate a bikeway along the Oso Bay shoreline from South Padre Island Drive to the McARdle Road area, then place the bikeway along the Ennis Joslin right-of-way; Design the Ennis Joslin/Nile Drive intersection to discourage through traffic on Nile Drive. Mr. Bob Eisenberg, Pharaoh Valley Neighborhood Association, appeared and elaborated on the points raised in their letter. Mr. Payne answered questions from the Commission. Ms. Gloria Perez, Spohn Area Association, appeared and stated that they do not want any more traffic in their neighborhood, and wondered if there was additional information regarding the Spohn area. Chairman Mime stated that item will be addressed later in the meeting. The public hearing was declared closed. Mr. Payne addressed Elizabeth Street, stating that Spohn is concerned about the amount of pedestrian traffic that crosses it. No decisions have been made about Elizabeth Street at this time. Commissioner Hall stated that he would like some time to study the comments made by the Pharaoh Valley Neighborhood Association. TABLED ZONING A. 594-3 Turner Landscape, Inc. : "R-18" to "8-4" Located on the east side of Woodlawn Drive, approximately 365 feet south of South Padre Island Drive Motion by Taylor, seconded by Meinrath, and passed with Cook being absent, that this application be removed from the table. *8. 'S Planning Commission Meeting May 18, 1994 Page 6 Mr. Gunning stated that this zoning application was tabled by the Planning Commission on May 4, 1994 at the applicant' s request, pending a response from the Legal Department regarding an interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Gunning described the land use and zoning in the surrounding area, and stated that the applicant is requesting a zoning request from "R-18" One-family Dwelling District to "B-4" General Business District to continue growing and storing plants at the rear of the existing residence. The property is currently occupied by a single-family residence and plant storage at the rear. Mr. Gunning summarized the Staff Report, informing the Commission of applicable Policy Statements, and quoted from the Southeast Area Development Plan. The applicant is requesting a change of zoning to a "8-4" General Business District in order to continue growing and storing plants in the rear of an existing residential lot. The plants are grown and stored at this location specifically for the commercial nursery along South Padre Island Drive. The subject property is adjacent to existing residences on the south and west side and with residences across Woodlawn Drive to the west. Adjacent to the north is a single-family residence in which the applicant leases the rear yard to store and grow plants for the business. This property was granted a Special Permit for this use in August, 1982. The applicant has indicated that the sole use of the subject property's rear yard is to store and grow plants for the plant nursery business. There would be no wholesale or retail sale of these plants from the subject property. The plants would be transferred to the nursery business to be sold, and, therefore, should not generate any customer traffic to the subject property. The applicant' s nursery business, through the years, has expanded into the residential area. In 1976, the applicant requested and was granted a "8-4" District on the property where the nursery business is currently operating, along South Padre Island Drive between Woodlawn and Daly Drives. Also in 1976, the applicant requested an "I-2" Light Industrial District on Lots 88 through 12, located at the southeast corner of South Padre Island Rive and Daly Drive. The City Council, following Planning Commission' s recommendation, denied the request, but granted a "8-4" District on Lot 10 and a Special Permit for storage of landscape materials on Lots 10 through 12. In 1982, the applicant again requested a "8-4" District to expand the nursery into the residential area. The City Council granted rr `i Planning Commission Meeting May 18, 1994 Page 7 a Special Permit on Lots 16 and 17, located adjacent to the north of the subject property, for the storage of plant materials. In February, 1994, the applicant was sent a notice of violation for expanding the growing and storing of plants onto a residential lot, the subject property. In April 1994, the applicant received another notice of violation for the outside storage landscape materials on Block 8, Lot 9 which is located along the east side of Daly Drive, south of South Padre Island Drive. This lot was initially denied a change of zoning in 1976 to "I-2" . Over the past 18 years, the applicant's nursery business has slowly and illegally extended into the adjoining residential area. The growing and storing of plants is a use that on the surface seems unobtrusive. However, the amount, size and types of plants grown require constant care. This care usually involves the use of fertilizers and pesticides in amounts and concentration that exceeds that of a typical household. This concentration may adversely impact the adjoining residences with higher level of ground and air pollution. There is often a tendency to convert growing areas into storage areas for trash or piles of fertilizer, mulch, or pesticides. Expanding the growing and storage area allows for more retail sales and display area for the nursery fronting South Padre Ieland Drive. This increase typically increases the customer traffic and parking area demands. Staff noticed during the field inspection that there were a number of cars parked along both sides of Woodlawn Drive, a local residential street. The applicant confirmed that the majority of the cars belong to the employees. This parking problem was discussed during the requested expansion in 1982. The concern was addressed by requiring all access to that property's storage area being from the nursery business and not off Woodlawn Drive. This restriction has not eliminated the problem currently created by the employees parking on Woodlawn Drive. Any expansion of the use could extend the parking problem further into the neighborhood. The applicant has indicated that there is sufficient parking space for 68 vehicles. A change of zoning to a •B-4" District is inconsistent with the adopted plan policies and recommended land uses, in that it permits uses not compatible with the single-family residential neighborhood. A Special Permit for the growing and storing of plans is also not in the best interest of the adjoining neighborhood, due to the increased traffic and parking that generally occurs with business expansions. r. .i Planning Commission Meeting May 18, 1994 Page 8 Mr. Gunning read to the Commission the pros and cons of this application from the Staff Report (copy on file) . Eighteen notices were mailed, two were returned in favor, and eleven in opposition, plus two petitions in opposition - one with 13 signatures, and the other with 17 signatures. Staff recommends denial. Mr. Ted Turner, Jr. , appeared for the applicant, and stated that they purchased the subject property for two purposes. One was for a residence for a security person, and the other was to grow plants for the nursery. He informed the Planning Commission that hardly anyone works on that lot, because it is strictly a growing area, and there is no noise. He noted that they are unable to expand in any direction. Mr. Turner addressed parking, stating that his employees do in fact park on the residential street, although he provides 15-20 parking spaces. He indicated that they are not interested in obtaining "H-4" zoning, but rather are looking for a special permit to grow plants. In answer to a question from Commissioner Serna, Mr. Turner indicated that they cannot double stack plants because of the sunlight. He added that they are using all available property, and if they cannot use the subject property, they will have to find other off-site property for a growing area. Mr. John Rios, 1525 Daly, appeared in opposition, stating that there is a parking problem on Daly, as well as 18- wheelers go down that street to make deliveries. He added that their streets are narrow, and there is standing water from watering the plants, which causes his fence to lean. Ms. Sherry Reyes, 1546 Woodlawn, spoke for her mother, and stated that they are in opposition to rezoning or a special permit. She informed the Commission of nursery employees parking on their streets, 18-wheelers using their streets for deliveries, and the installation of a "No Trucks Allowed" sign. She questioned how can emergency vehicles go through when there is so much congestion on their street. Ms. Reyes also addressed the nursery spraying with insecticide, no privacy in their back yards, and standing water. Ms. Reyes spoke on her behalf, reiterating previous statements. She noted that drivers of 18-wheelers trucks cannot see small children on their bikes or roller skates, which makes for a dangerous situation. She stated that her son is an asthmatic and the constant spraying of pesticides is not good for his lungs. Planning Commission Meeting May 18, 1994 Page 9 Ms. Kathy Simon, 3449 Ocean Drive, appeared on behalf of her mother. She concurred with the previous speaker. She noted that gas meters are located in the front yard, and it is possible that'a truck or car could damage them. She requested that the Planning Commission deny the request. Mr. Ed Douglas, 1527 Daly, appeared in opposition, stating that he was concerned about the traffic, aesthetics of the neighborhood, standing water in the back yard, and pesticides. Mrs. Johnny Ray Seale, 144 Lakeshore Drive, appeared in favor, and stated that Turner's is a small struggling business, with much of the business conducted off-site. She related information on the business regarding annual payroll, number of full time employees, and sales tax paid by the business. She was of the opinion that parking on the adjacent residential streets is no worse than other residential streets, and traffic can get through. She requested that the Commission consider this through a business perspective. She added that there are no permanent structures on the property, and if a privacy fence was erected, no one would know what goes on. Mr. John Lozano, 1606 Woodlawn, appeared in opposition, stating that he does not object to a good successful business, but the applicant has outgrown the areas that they are in. He noted that the "No Trucks" signs disappear. Mr. Turner again addressed the Commission, stating that there is a theft problem, which is a community problem, and not just his. The public hearing was declared closed. Commissioner Hall asked if there is an ordinance which prohibits 18-wheelers from using residential street. Mr. Harvey responded in the affirmative, adding that it is difficult to enforce. The City tries to zone and develop property so that the problem is not encouraged. Mr. Crull added that the ordinance specifies no trucks more than 1 ton are allowed on residential streets, unless they are making deliveries on a residential street, such as moving trucks. Commissioner Hall stated that he would like the applicant to work out a special permit under "R-113" zoning, severely limiting the use of the property for growing of plants, and Planning Commission Meeting May 18, 1994 Page 10 putting up environmental and aesthetics control for the protection of the neighborhood. Parking should be controllable, and trucks should be prohibited. Chairman Mims commented that the pictures indicate that the area needs to be cleaned up. She asked the applicant if he would be willing to work with Staff on a special permit. Mr. Turner replied in the affirmative. Vice Chairman Taylor commented neighbors can get the number on the "No Trucks" sign and the license numbers on the 18-wheeler trucks, and report them. He noted that the special permit could also indicate no customers in the growing area to help keep the neighborhood friendly. Commissioner Bertuzzi commented that Turner's is a successful business that has outgrown its location. As lease space is taken away, the applicant will be back for further zoning. From a zoning standpoint, the neighborhood is supposed to be protected from this type of encroachment. Commissioners Serna and Perez concurred with Commissioner' s Bertuzzi' s comment. Motion by Perez, seconded by Bertuzzi, that this application for "B-4" General Business District be forwarded to the City Council with the recommendation that it be denied. Motion passed with Bertuzzi, Canales, Hall, Meinrath, Perez, Serna and Taylor voting aye, Mims abstaining, and Cook being absent. Chairman Mims left the meeting at this time. Staff Presentation and citizen comments on proposed transportation amendments to the Southside, Westside and Port/Airport/Violet Area Development Plans, and the transportation plan for the Mustang- Padre Island Area Mr. Payne informed the Commission that Staff has completed 10 Area Development Plans. As each of these plans was formulated, Staff has attempted to improve the format and content of each new plan. This has resulted in improved plans, but has also caused some inconsistencies between the Transportation Map Legends of the Southside, Westside, Port/Airport/Violet Plans, and Island areas. It is important that the Transportation Element of each area be consistent. Mr. Payne showed slides of each Transportation map to be changed, and explained the network changes for several of the Plans. fd Planning Commission Meeting May 18, 1994 Page 11 No one appeared in favor or in opposition, and the public hearing was declared closed. Motion by Perez, seconded by Bertuzzi that Staff recommended changes to the City Transportation Plan of the Southside, Westside, Port/Airport/Violet and Mustang Padre areas be forwarded to the City Council for adoption. Motion passed with Cook and Mime being absent. OTHER MATTERS Mr. Harvey informed the Commission of the following City Council action: - Second and Final Reading of Ordinance annexing a 7.65 acre tract of land comprised of public and railroad right-of-way. ▪ Proposed amendments to billboard regulations. - C394-2 City of Corpus Christi The above items were tabled by the City Council. - 494-2 YMCA of the Coastal Bend Approved as recommended by Planning Commission - 494-1 William L.

Mr. Gunning stated that there were no conditions remaining on this plat, and Staff recommends approval, as submitted. Chairman Mims referred to Condition #4, and asked Mr. Henry Tucker who will maintain the open ditches within drainage easements or within the street right-of-way upon annexation into the City Limits. Mr. Tucker responded that the Home Owners' Association will maintain the open ditches. If they do not, the City will, and charge the Home Owners' Association. Commissioner Canales asked who will be in charge of maintaining the streets, and how long will the developer be responsible for the development. Mr. Tucker responded that they will be responsible for the streets one year after construction and City acceptance. The public hearing was declared closed. Vice Chairman Taylor stated that more property is being platted, and asked how is the City preparing for sanitary sewer. Mr. Gunning responded that the subject subdivision is outside the City Limits and will have septic tanks. With regard to other subdivisions inside the City and being tied to the City sewer system, the developer will have to demonstrate that there is sufficient sewer capacity to accommodate the proposed development, otherwise the construction plans will not be approved, and the plat will not be filed for record. Mr. Carl Crull, Director, Engineering Services stated that the proposed plat is in a large lot subdivision greater than 1 acre. State minimums for individual treatment system is 1/2 acre. With respect to other developments that will develop in the City, they would have to demonstrate that the line capacity, lift stations and force mains are available, or make necessary improvements. They do not have to demonstrate that the treatment capacity is available. The Oso Treatment Plant is approaching its capacity. The Texas Water Planning Commission Meeting May 18, 1994 Page 14 Development Board will hear the City's application for a loan from the State Revolving Fund for about $8.5 million. Included is a project to begin the planning and design for increasing the capacity of the Westside Treatment Plant by 2 million gallons per day. The other is to begin the planning and design for the location of a 7 million gallons treatment capacity. In 1984-85, there was a study conducted by a consulting group resulting in a recommendation to construct a southside treatment plant, and also to upgrade the Oso Treatment Plant to accept additional flow. Based on that recommendation, money was included in the 1986 Bond Program to purchase property for a southside treatment plant and to begin the design work on the southside treatment plant. Decline in the economy and building industry stalled the design. Development is increasing, and decisions need to be made whether the Oso Treatment Plant should be upgraded to accept more capacity; build a Southside Treatment Plant; or further expand the Westside Treatment Plant to accept flows from the southside area. If the Water Development Board approves the City's loan, Staff will be going out shortly with requests for proposals for engineering design services for the project. Chairman Minis asked how long will it be before the new Southside Treatment Plant comes on line. Mr. Crull anticipated 3-4 years from this time. He added that a decision has not been made regarding new or improved treatment plants. The public hearing was declared closed. Motion by Canales, seconded by Perez, and passed with Cook being absent, that this plat be approved. 4. 059458-NP37 Rina Estates. Unit 1 - O.C.L.

There are no remaining conditions on this plat, and Staff recommends approval as submitted. it NsiO Planning Commission Meeting May 18, 1994 Page 16 Mr. Crull stated that development of this type has a number of problems and opportunities associated with it as far as infrastructure needs. There are some issues regarding master plans for sanitary sewer and drainage, which need to be addressed on the preliminary plat before recordation of any final plats within this development. Staff will be working with the developer and his engineer to solve those problems. There are possible amendments to the Master Plan which will have to come to the Planning Commission for consideration before it goes to the City Council.
