REPLIES RECEIVED IN FAVOR: 0 REPLIES RECEIVED IN OPPOSITION: 0
APPEARING IN FAVOR: Murray Bass, Munroe & Bass, 3054 S. Alameda
APPEARING IN OPPOSITION: John Richard, Interim Vice-President for
Finance, Corpus Christi State University
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval
BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: The property is zoned residential but it is
staff's opinion that a residential home development will not occur in the
area. The intent of the ordinance for requiring a 25 foot setback is . to
provide protection between non-residential and residential uses. Since,
it is unlikely that a residential development will occur, criteria would
required a setback of 25 feet next to another non residential use which
is not the intent of the ordinance.
MOTION: Motion was made by Mr. Dykema, seconded by Mr. Veteto and passed
unanimously to approve the request to reduce the minimum required 25 foot
side yard setbacks to 10 feet and 21 feet respectively on Lot 2, Block 1,
Ward Island, 7002 Ocean Drive, since the Board finds that in its opinion,
as a matter of fact, such exception will not substantially affect
adversely the uses of adjacent and neighboring property.

on file in the Building Inspection Department.

reviewed the B-4 district as a possible zone that would allow other uses
next to residential zones which may be more objectionable, and found that
in those cases the area is essentially left open without any other uses.

MISCELLANEOUS
A motion was made by Mr. Gamboa, seconded by Mr. Veteto and passed
unanimously to approve the minutes of the prior meeting as submitted.
A brief discussion followed concerning the vacant position on the
Board.
Ms. Corey stated that at the last meeting the Board had requested
that she contact the Legal Department to find out what the Board's
position was concerning placing deed restrictions on property. She
stated that zoning and deed restrictions are two wholly separate issues
and that the Legal Department absolutely does not recommend that the
Board try to include deed restrictions as part of the their motions
because the present State law does not allow this. She explained that
the Board could recommend that action taken by the Board he recorded on
the Zoning Map Book which is an official document that is kept up to
date by the City. She added that deed restrictions are a private issue
and that the only city in Texas that has been able to enforce deed
restrictions is Houston, because they do not have zoning regulations.
The Chairman informed the Board that the election of officers will
be held at the next regular meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:15 p.m.
