Harvey, AIA, AICP, Director of Planning & Development Michael Gunning, Senior Planner Lorraine Del Alto, Recording Secretary Norbert Hart, Assistant City Attorney Grace McNett, Capital Budget Officer CALL TO ORDER Chairman Mims called the meeting to order at 6:35 p.m., and described the procedure to be followed. PUBLIC HEARING NEW ZONING (1) Ms. Dorothy Wilde: 1293-2 REQUEST: From "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District to "B-4" General Business District being 6.4 acres out of Lots 23 and 24, Section 5, Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, located on the west side of South Staples Street, approximately 260 feet south of Gateway Drive. Mr. Gunning described the land use and zoning in the surrounding area, and stated that the applicant is requesting a zoning change from "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District to "B-4" General Business District, to add two (2) mini-storage buildings totalling approximately 6,500 square feet. Mr. Gunning summarized the Staff Report, informing the Commission of applicable Policy Statements. * Shirley Mims left at 7:45 p.m. SCANNED Planning Commission Minutes December I, 1992 Page 2 The applicant is requesting a change of zoning to a "B-4" General Business District for 6.4 acres in order to expand an existing nonconforming mini-storage facility. There are currently five (5) mini- storage warehouses on site. The proposed expansion consists of two (2) new buildings, totalling 6,500 square feet in area, to be placed on the south side of the property and away from the existing residences to the north. The existing and proposed warehouses occupy approximately one (1) acre of the 6.4 acre tract. The existing mini-storage buildings, according to the applicant, have been in use for the past 15 years. The subject property along with the area to the south and east was annexed into the City in 1989 with an "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District designation, making the mini-storage facility a nonconforming use. A nonconforming use cannot expand and if the structure is destroyed by more than fifty (50) percent of its replacement value, it cannot be rebuilt. However, as a nonconforming use, it can continue operating in perpetuity or until the use is discontinued for one (1) year. The Southside Area Development Plan recommends that the subject site and the area south to Lipes Boulevard develop with low density residential as a continuation of the existing residential development to the north and west. Rezoning the subject property to a "B-4" District is contrary to the adopted Plan and City policy statements. Approval of a Special Permit for the proposed mini-warehouse expansion tends to legitimize the existing nonconformity and could prejudice the site for future expansions and possibly straight out rezoning to "B-4". The Engineering Department stated that due to the depth and slope of the subject property, full development would require a retention pond at the rear. The existing stormwater drainage infrastructure is inadequate to accommodate a full scale "B4" District development. The request for a "B-4" District is at best premature, until the infrastructure issues are resolved. Mr. Gunning read to the Commission the pros and cons of this application from the Staff Report. (Copy on File) Seventeen (17) notices were mailed, four (4) were returned in opposition and two (2) were returned in favor. One (1) was returned in opposition from outside the 200' radius. Staff recommends approval. Mr. Patrick McCauley, Urban Engineer, representative for applicant, presented to the Commission plat maps explaining the proposed use for the zoning change. He stated that this mini- storage warehouse business has been operating for many years and asked the Commission to consider approving the application. Commissioner Hall asked Staff if a Special Permit could be granted for this particular case. Mr. Brandol Harvey replied that a Special Permit would be required or "B-4" zoning. "B-4" is the first district for the mini-storage. The applicant wants to have flexibility to place mini-storage at the rear and expand to the south side of the property so they requested "B-4" zoning. 11, 1110 Planning Commission Minutes December I, 1992 Page 3 Ms. Dorothy Wilde, 6857 S. Staples, applicant, appeared before the Commission stating that the intent is to add on to the mini-storage warehouse and to have low-rise offices. She added that the traffic is very low and the noise is at a minimum. She asked the Commission to consider approving this zoning change. Chairman Mims asked if the zoning was denied, would it result in closing this particular business. Mr. Harvey replied that the business is a legitimate nonconforming use and is allowed to continue as it exists today. If the zoning is denied, the business is not allowed to expand. Motion by Perez, seconded by Bertuzzi that this application for "B-4" General Business District be forwarded to City Council with the recommendation that it be denied. Motion passed with Bertuzzi, Canales, Cook, Hail, Meinrath, Perez, Taylor and Mims voting aye, and Longoria being absent. (2) Ms. Serena Harrington: 1293-3 REQUEST: From "AB" Professional Office District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District in Oceanview Addition, Block VII, east one-third of Lots 1 and 2, located on the southwest corner of Elizabeth and Fifth Streets. Mr. Gunning described the land use and zoning in the surrounding area, and stated that the applicant is requesting a zoning change from "AW Professional Office District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District, to operate a European-style coffee shop. The property is currently vacant. Mr. Gunning summarized the Staff Report, informing the Commission of applicable Policy Statements. The applicant is requesting a change of zoning to a "B-1" Neighborhood Business District in order to convert the existing building into a restaurant. The building was previously used as an office and it currently remains vacant. The subject property is located at the intersection of a designated arterial, Elizabeth Street, and a local street, Fifth Street. Spohn Hospital is located east on Elizabeth Street, approximately two (2) blocks away. Elizabeth Street is used by traffic accessing Spohn Hospital from South Staples Street. Any increase in traffic generated by the proposed restaurant use would have minimal adverse impact on the existing streets, especially considering the limited size, floor area, and lot size. • Planning Commission Minutes December I, 1992 Page 4 The subject property's area is developed with a mixture of uses. The adjacent properties are developed with single-family residences; whereas, the properties to the north are developed with apartments, and the east with apartments, Spohn Hospital parking and offices. A restaurant with an area of 730 square feet is consistent with surrounding uses and poses no adverse impact. The requested "B-1" District is a logical buffer of the "B-4" General Business District to the east. Compliance with off-street parking requirements is required prior issuance of any permits. Mr. Gunning read to the Commission the pros and cons of this application from the Staff Report. (Copy on File) Nineteen notices were mailed, and none were returned in favor or in opposition. Staff recommends approval. Mr. Nicholas Longo, 5757 S. Staples, appeared representing the applicant, and stated that the restaurant will not have any actual cooking. Croissants, bagels and a wide variety of coffee will be served. He asked the Commission to consider approving the application. Mr. A.P. Martinez, 1309 Sixth Street, appeared before the Commission in opposition. He stated that this restaurant does not have any parking spaces for this area. He commented that he is opposed to businesses within the residential area and traffic relating to the businesses. He asked the Commission to consider denying this zoning change. Mr. Nicholas Longo reappeared and commented that this type of business would enhance the neighborhood. In the rear of the property there is enough space to allow approximately eight (8) parking spaces. He added that traffic generated by the restaurant would not enhance the existing traffic for the area. Mr. Harvey commented that with a 750 square foot restaurant would require at least 8 parking spaces. And the applicant would have to meet parking requirements before a permit could be obtained. Motion by Perez, seconded by Hall that this application for "B-1" Neighborhood Business District be forwarded to City Council with the recommendation that it be approved. Motion passed with Bertuzzi, Canales, Cook, Hall, Meinrath, Perez, Taylor and Mims voting aye, and Longoria being absent. V V Planning Commission Minutes December I, 1992 Page 5 (3) Shell Development Joint Venture: 1293-4 REQUEST: From "B-4" General Business District to "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District being a 25.89 acre tract out of Lots 2 and 3, Section 10; and Lots 30 and 31, Section 11, Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, located approximately 760 feet east of the South Staples Street and Lipes Boulevard intersection. Mr. Gunning described the land use and zoning in the surrounding area, and stated that the applicant is requesting a zoning change from "B-4" General Business District to "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District, subject property is part of a large area to be developed with single-family residences. Mr. Gunning summarized the Staff Report, informing the Commission of applicable Policy Statements. The applicant is requesting a change of zoning to an "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District in order to develop a single-family subdivision. The subject property is part of a larger area that will be subdivided into 305 single-family lots and two (2) commercial lots. The proposed subdivision extends Lipes Boulevard east of South Staples Street to connect with the existing Lipes Boulevard street section adjacent to Katlic Middle School, west of Cimarron Boulevard. Although the subject property's current zoning of"B-4" General Business District permits single- family residences, the Platting Ordinance requires wider streets and larger water and sewer lines to serve the higher intense commercial use permitted in the district. Rezoning allows the developers to downsize infrastructure improvements to match the proposed use. Mr. Gunning read to the Commission the pros and cons of this application from the Staff Report. (Copy on File) Two notices were mailed, and one was returned in favor and none in opposition. Staff recommends approval. No one appeared in favor or in opposition to this zoning case. The applicant nor his representative were in attendance. The public hearing was declared closed. Commissioner Canales asked if this case could be tabled in order to ask the applicant some questions. I.. .S Planning Commission Minutes December I, 1992 Page 6 Mr. Harvey replied that it would be the Commission's decision to table this zoning case. Usually when a zoning case is controversial or being zoned with a higher density, questions should be answered by the applicant or their engineer. Commissioner Perez commented that she is familiar with this particular area and feels that single-family dwellings should be located within the area. Chairman Minis stated that a single-family residential development is being proposed within this area ants agrees with the zoning change. Commissioner Canales asked if single-family dwelling is being proposed and if two particular properties in the area will continue as commercial. Mr. Harvey replied that some properties are continuing as commercial fronting Staples Street. If part of a tract is rezoned to residential, then that could only develop as residential. Should the property fronting Staples, which remains "B-4",develop commercially, then setback requirements and screening would have to be met adjacent to the residential districts. Commissioner Taylor asked about the utility connections for the area proposed for downzoning. Mr. Harvey replied that if the property remains zoned "B-4", it must meet higher standards for streets, drainage, water and sanitary sewer infrastructure. Motion by Cook, seconded by Perez that this application for "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District be forwarded to City Council with the recommendation that it be approved. Motion passed with Bertuzzi, Cook, Hall, Meinrath, Perez, Taylor and Mims voting aye, and Canales voting nay; and Longoria being absent. (4) Mr. Richard Cruz: 1193-2 REQUEST: From "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District on Lexington Subdivision, Block 2, Lot 50B, located on the north side of Milo Street, approximately 200 feet east of Ayers Street. Mr. Gunning prefaced the Staff report by commenting that this application originally scheduled for the November 3, 1993 public hearing was withdrawn from the agenda on the advice of the Assistant City Attorney for failure of the applicant to post and maintain a change of zoning notice sign along the frontage of the subject property. Staff was directed to reschedule this case on the next available public hearing date and re-notify property owners within 200 feet. V v� Planning Commission Minutes December 1, 1992 Page 7 Mr. Gunning described the land use and zoning in the surrounding area, and stated that the applicant is requesting a zoning change from "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District, to use the rear fifty (50) feet of the subject property for car parking/staging area for the adjacent car detail shop. Mr. Gunning summarized the Staff Report, informing the Commission of applicable Policy Statements. The applicant is requesting a change of zoning to a "B-1" Neighborhood Business District in order to provide additional parking as a staging area for the auto detail shop, Rick's Detail, which fronts on Ayers Street. The applicant has indicated that this proposed parking/staging area will be located at the rear fifty (50) feet of the subject property. The applicant has also indicated that this proposed use would alleviate the current practice of parking customers' cars in the public right-of-way which is illegal and hazardous. The subject property is a narrow, deep lot which fronts on Milo Street, a local residential street. The west lot line is adjacent to the rear of "B-4" General Business District properties which are commercially developed and front on Ayers Street, a major arterial. The north lot line abuts the rear of an "AB" Professional Office District which is developed with a fraternal lodge that fronts on Johanna Street, a local street. The requested "B-1" District would be an appropriate zoning classification to act as a transitional area between the high-intensity "B-4" District to the west and the low-intensity "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District to the east. Ayers Street, a major arterial, is close to the subject property and some of the commercial traffic would access out to Ayers Street. This traffic would be minimal and would not adversely impact the area. The Zoning Ordinance would require a screening fence along the east lot line of the subject site. Mr. Gunning read to the Commission the pros and cons of this application from the Staff Report. (Copy on File) Seventeen notices were mailed, and none were returned in opposition and two were returned in favor. Staff recommends approval. Mr. E.F. Bennett, 417 Villa, representing the applicant, appeared before the Commission stating that the intentions for the property is to use the rear fifty (50) feet for car parking/staging for the adjacent car detail shop. He asked the Commission to consider approving this zoning change. Mr. Alvin Kinney, 2430 Milo, appeared before the Commission stating that he is concerned with a city water main located near the applicant's business. He is concerned with the damage that may occur to his residential property if a break were to occur within the area. Sint ‘f•S Planning Commission Minutes December 1, 1992 Page 8 There was some discussion as to where Mr. Kinney's residence was located in reference to the subject property. Mr. Kinney stated that his house is adjacent to the east of the applicant's property. His residence is actually owned by his mother-in-law and that he has power of attorney to act on her behalf. Mr. E.F. Bennett reappeared and commented on the exact location of the extension for the auto detail business and that no traffic would use Milo Street or go past the residence to get to the rear of the lot. There was some discussion on the location of the residence relative to the rear of the auto detail business. Mr. Rick Cruz, the applicant, appeared before the Commission stating that the garage of the residence, located in the rear of the business, will be expanded for use an an emergency exit only. The expansion of the garage will not be constantly used and there will not be any cars parked on the driveway or on Milo Street. Mr. Harvey asked the applicant if he does or does not intend to move traffic past the residence and on Milo Street, and if he has checked to determine if the garage can be expanded to accommodate a driveway and still comply with the side yard setback. Mr. Cruz replied that he will move traffic on Milo and past the residence and that he has checked on the setbacks and the driveway can be expanded. After further discussion on the location of the City waterline and its condition, the Commission concurred with Staff that this issue was not relevant to the zoning request. Commissioner Hall stated he was considering granting a special permit for a portion of the property instead of rezoning the entire property commercial. Mr. Harvey commented that staff anticipated that the proposed use is not appropriate for such close proximity to a residence if the property is intended to stay residential and within a long range plan, this particular area would probably not remain a residential use. Motion by Taylor, seconded by Canales that this application for "B-l" Neighborhood Business District be forwarded to City Council with the recommendation that it be approved. Motion passed with Bertuzzi, Canales, Hall, Meinrath, Perez, Taylor and Mims voting aye, and Cook voting nay; and Longoria being absent. V Planning Commission Minutes December 1, 1992 Page 9 NEW PLATS Consideration of plats as described on attached addendum. DISCUSSION ITEM PROPOSED WATER UTILITIES CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1994 Ms. Grace McNett, Capital Budget Officer, explained the proposed Water Utilities Capital Improvements for Fiscal Year 1994. On November 23, 1993, Staff presented their recommendations to the City Council in conjunction with the proposed 6% utility rate increase. She described the summary report distributed to the Planning Commission. Providing basic services and maintaining sound utilities infrastructure is fundamental to the well being of the community, both environmentally and economically. The demand for protecting existing utility systems and constructing new improvements is compelling - mandatory federal and state requirements, rehabilitating an aging infrastructure, securing reliable water supplies for future growth, and preparing for new development, key to promoting a diverse economy. Some economic recovery is in sight - expansion of the petro-chemical industry, new subdivision development and particularly, a four year University at Texas A & M - Corpus Christi. The various construction projects underway on the A & M campus are indicative of the many benefits the university will bring the community. Furthermore, recognizing the central role the military services as a major employer in the area, we must also continue to accommodate the needs related to their operations and the expanding mission of NAS Ingleside. The recommended water utilities capital improvement plan for Fiscal Year 1993-94, totalling $19,325,000, represents an important step toward addressing urgent needs in the water, wastewater and storm water systems and the first phase of several multi-year projects which will require additional resources over the next five years. Financing for this year is proposed from the sale of revenue bonds. Another alternative being considered for wastewater projects is the Texas Water Development Board's State Revolving Fund. The debt service for this program will be supported by a six percent increase in water, wastewater, and gas rates. Other funding sources are being considered for purchasing water rights and construction of conveyance facilities to transport water from Lake Texana and the Garwood Irrigation Company. These include reallocation of the RTA's share of the sales tax, paying off the Choke Canyon debt at a discount, and allocating the cost of new water supplies to consumers in a similar manner as the cost of natural gas. Initial costs for future water supplies such as annual payments for the option to purchase water from the Lavaca-Navidad Water Authority (Lake Texana) are to be included in the utilities operating budget. Planning Commission Minutes December I, 1992 Page 10 Water system improvements proposed in FY 94 focus on upgrading existing production facilities to improve water treatment and ensure the reliability of the Stevens Plant operations - including installation of alternate power supplies to pumping equipment, rehabilitation of the original plant filters, and replacement of the existing bar screen to protect raw water pumps from suspended debris as well as installation of other automated monitoring instrumentation improvements to upgrade treatment processes. Texas A & M University's requirements are being addressed under the proposed construction of additional water distribution capacity to the campus. A pilot project, intended to evaluate the potential of mitigating fresh water releases from the reservoirs by diverting effluent from wastewater treatment plants into estuarine systems, is also recommended. Proposed wastewater projects involve rehabilitation of severely deteriorated sanitary sewer lines, construction of treatment facilities to meet permit requirements and improvements to serve the anticipated growth at the Texas A & M campus. Because most of the City's treatment plants are operating near permitted flows, planning for additional capacity, either through expansion of existing facilities or building a new plant, must be initiated soon. Furthermore, environmental regulations are requiring a higher quality for effluent discharged into area bays and streams. Other major improvements provide for rehabilitation of sanitary sewer mains which have sustained structural failures and require repeated, expensive repairs. Funds are also recommended to improve the sludge disposal process at the Laguna Madre Plant in Flour Bluff. The current method of sludge handling through drying beds is extremely labor intensive and is restricted during rains. In the storm water category, several projects are proposed to alleviate inadequate drainage facilities under such projects as the Richter Channel Widening and the Up River Road Drainage improvements. The State intends to widen IH 37 and to enlarge drainage structures under the highway. Consequently, the City must also enlarge its drainage structure at Up River Road in order to maintain consistent storm flow capacity in the area of Turkey Creek. Finally, the drainage system in the area of Everhart, South Padre Island Drive, Alameda and Airline was originally designed in the early 1960's primarily for residential development. Because a major portion of the properties have been converted to commercial use, a study to determine the area's drainage requirements is recommended. The Staff has devoted considerable effort in developing the Proposed Water Utilities Capital Improvement Program and a financing plan for FY 93-94. The next step leading to adoption of the program allows for public participation. Our recommendations are submitted for the Commission's consideration; we welcome your comments. Commissioner Canales asked what plans did the City have that concern the septic tanks in order to avoid environmental health problems. Ms. McNett replied that the City-County Health Department monitors permits for septic tanks. The wastewater program identifies in future years, funds to be discussed for sanitary sewers to areas not served. Planning Commission Minutes December 1, 1992 Page 11 Mr. Wayne Cockroft, Wastewater Superintendent, commented that mostly all city treatment plants are reaching 75% capacity, and added that certain individual plants are reaching 90%. He explained in detail which treatment plants were at the capacity levels and demonstrated what is proposed in the Water Utilities Capital Improvement Program for 1993-1998. There was a lengthy discussion on the importance and cost-effectiveness for expanding, consolidating or building of certain treatment plants. Ms. McNett stated that the Planning Commission's comments concerning this water utilities program are important to staff. She added that a public hearing will be held on this issue in two weeks. She asked for the Planning Commission's support and adoption of this program for the improving the community. Commissioner Taylor asked if this program was going to be paid with revenue bonds and State revolving funds. Ms. McNett commented that the City is proposing revenue bonds with the possibility of an alternative source for wastewater projects from the Texas Water Development Board's state revolving funds. This source makes low interest loans available for this type of project. Commissioner Hall asked if any funds would be available through the Community Development Block Grants. Mr. Harvey replied that the Community Development Block Grant is geared toward low income families. The federal government tends to look at the water supply as a fundamental public provision. It is more difficult now to use funds from that source for public services such as water utilities. There was some discussion on what the City Council priorities are concerning the Community Development Block Grant. Mr. Harvey commented that the next regularly scheduled meeting will be a public hearing concerning the water utilities program. He added that there will be a boxed ad in the Corpus Christi Caller Times concerning this issue. He commented that one of the benefits of this five year water utilities plan is that it looks at not only the first year, but it also prioritizes sequencing in later years. Ms. McNett thanked the Commission for there time and looked forward to the public hearing on December 15, 1993. 'S Planning Commission Minutes December 1, 1992 Page 12 OTHER MATTERS Mr. Harvey reported on the following City Council action: Case No. 1093-1: South Texas Lighthouse for the Blind - A Special Permit was approved by City Council for construction of a parking lot.
