R. ELECTRICAL ADVISORY BOARD APPEAL (ITEM 20)
The Appeal will proceed using the following format:
20.City Council consideration of an appeal of Lamp Lighter Electrical
Contractor’s six-month suspension of City electrical registration by the
Corpus Christi Electrical Advisory Board on November 21, 2019
Mayor McComb referred to Item 20.
City Secretary Rebecca L. Huerta stated that electricians and electrical
contractors are required to have a City Electrical Registration to operate within
the City limits; the Corpus Christi Code also authorizes the Electrical Advisory
Board to suspend or revoke such registration for misconduct in the
performance of electrical work within the jurisdiction of the city; any such
revocation or suspension may be appealed to City Council; this is an appeal of
the Electrical Advisory Board’s Suspension of City Electrician’s Registration for
Lamp Lighter Electrical Contractor; City Council will be evaluating the
transcript of the Electrical Advisory Board’s Suspension Hearing and arguments
made at today’s appeal; the appeal will proceed with Statement of Facts,
followed by Appellant's Oral Presentation and City Staff’s response; each
section will be limited to 3 minutes; after the City Staff’s Response, City Council
may deliberate.
a. Statement of Facts. Assistant City Attorney Buck Brice presented the
following statement of facts: on August 14, 2019, City Inspector Ruben
Hernandez observed unlicensed individuals performing electrical work on site
at 6633 Evans Drive; on August 28, 2019, City Inspector Ruben Hernandez
observed electrical work in progress at 6901 New York Drive by an unlicensed
electrician on site; on October 1, 2019, City Inspector Richard Rios witnessed
Page 12City of Corpus Christi Printed on 3/12/2020
February 18, 2020City Council Meeting Minutes
an unlicensed individual working on the building’s electrical system at 1517
Westridge Boulevard; on October 17, 2019, the Electrical Advisory Board
(Board) voted to hear the violations alleged against Lamp Lighter Electrical
Contractor; on October 21, 2019, Notice of Hearing was sent by certified mail;
on November 21, 2019, the Board held a hearing for the violations alleged
against Lamp Lighter Electrical Contractor with Lamp Lighter Electrical
Contractor present; Pursuant to Section 14-206 of the Corpus Christi Code, the
Board found Lamp Lighter Electrical contractor guilty of gross negligence,
incompetency, or misconduct in the performance of electrical work on three
occasions; the Board suspended Lamp Lighter Electrical Contractor’s Electrical
Registration for a term of 6 months; on December 11, 2019, Lamp Lighter
Electrical Contractor filed an appeal of Electrician’s Registration suspension;
the suspension is stayed for the appeal; City staff supports the decision of the
Board; the use of unlicensed and/or unsupervised electrical workers is a
violation of the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulations and the City of
Corpus Christi regulations, creates an unacceptable safety risk to building
occupants and the public; creates an unfair business advantage over a
company operating in accordance with the rules; and City Council may deny
the appeal, modify the Board's decision or reverse the Board's decision. City
staff supports denial of the appeal.
b. Appellant's Oral Presentation of Written Notice of Appeal. Gabriel Oliva, on
behalf of Gamaliel Oliva, stated that: he, Gabriel Oliva, was out of the country
when the Board held its hearing; he, Gabriel Oliva, was in charge of some of
the jobs; at the school of science and technology, there were some unlicensed
individuals working on the job site; at the suggestion of the superintendent to
try to meet the deadlines for the 800 students that were going to be starting
school, the project got started three months late; 3 individuals who were not
licensed, were hired to help transport light fixtures, trash, ladders and
scaffolding, jobs that did not require an electrician; if the 3 individuals were
deducted, there were 2 journeymen and 6 apprentices present at the job site,
which is a ratio of 1 journeyman to 3 apprentices; but the 3 additional workers
made it to where it was more than the ratio; all employees and subcontractors
are currently licensed; the new policy is that every three months licenses are
checked; they no longer hire unlicensed workers, whether they are cleaning,
disposing of trash, etc.; and they have adopted better practices within the
business to help communicate more efficiently with the inspectors.
Council members, Gabriel Oliva and Building Official Gene Delauro discussed
the following topics: that 3 workers without licenses were the cleaning crew;
the number of journeymen and apprentices with active licenses; discrepancies
between the transcript of the Board meeting and statements made by the
appellant today; that 4029 Redwood St. is Gamaliel Oliva’s address; that
Gamaliel Oliva did not receive the certified letter sent to him by the City in
October 2019 because he was out of the country; that the 3 helpers were part of
the 11 total workers; the required ratio of licensed electricians to journeymen
electricians; if members of a cleaning crew are required to be licensed; that
only 3 individuals could produce a license; if an individual named, “Juan
Garcia” was an employee of Lamp Lighter Electrical Contactor and if he was
being supervised by an individual with an appropriate license; the prevalence
of electrical contractors having an inactive license or not being licensed; the
frequency with which the City conducts license checks in the field;
Development Services’ stepped up enforcement of in-field license checks; if
Development Services notifies contractors that license checks are going to be
Page 13City of Corpus Christi Printed on 3/12/2020
February 18, 2020City Council Meeting Minutes
performed, before they are performed; and electrical contractors lodging
complaints about other electrical contractors’ use of unlicensed electrical
workers.
Gabriel Oliva stated that the State of Texas was not taking any
licensure-related action against Lamp Lighter Electric Contractor at this time;
that this is the first such incident in Lamp Lighter Electric Contractor’s history of
being in business since 1981; and the severity of the penalty imposed by the
Board for a first-time offense.
Council members, Building Official Gene Delauro and Assistant City Attorney
Buck Brice discussed the following topics: if the City routinely checks licenses
of workers on site; that the purpose of Development Services’ inspections is to
inspect electrical work; if Development Services makes unannounced visits to
job sites; the last time a complaint was filed with the Board that resulted in this
outcome; that additional suspensions are forthcoming; the City’s need for
consistent enforcement efforts; clarification regarding the types of licenses
required for individuals on job sites; the need for regular enforcement by the
City; if lifting the suspension, but imposing probation for Lamp Lighter
Electrical Contractor was an option; that all of Lamp Lighter Electrical
Contractor’s workers’ licenses are currently active; if the City’s process allows
for hardships regarding Board hearings in relation to a death in the family of a
contractor, as was the case in this instance; if the electricians on Lamp Lighter
Electrical Contractor jobs knew that Development Services was scheduled to
perform an inspection; that sanctions imposed by the Board are at the Board’s
discretion; reasons for the Board’s issuance of a six-month suspension in
relation to multiple violations at multiple job sites over multiple days; and
options available to Council.
c. City Staff Response. Building Official Delauro presented information on the
following topics: the composition of the Board; and contractors’ heightened
awareness regarding the requirement for proper and active licensure.
d. Council Action. Council member and Building Official Delauro discussed
the following topics: reasons the Board decided on the six-month suspension;
administrative penalties available to the Texas Department of Licensing and
Regulation; if the City is subject to legal liability if the City Council were to
reverse the Board’s decision; that Electrical Lamp Lighter Contractor has
served 20 days of the six-month suspension; various concerns expressed to a
council member by electrical contractors; and that the City should enforce
regulations relating to contractor licensure.
Council Member Smith made a motion to amend the Corpus Christi Electrical
Advisory Board’s six-month suspension of Lamp Lighter Electrical Contractor’s
electrical registration to a suspension of 20 days, retroactive to the 20-day
suspension already served by Lamp Lighter Electrical Contractor, seconded by
Council Member Hunter.
Council members and Building Official Delauro discussed the following topics:
the number of Lamp Lighter Electrical Contractor’s employees on-site who had
an active license and the number of employees who were required to have a
license; if particular individuals were employees of Lamp Lighter Electrical
Contractor; if a member of the Board should have recused himself from the
Board’s vote to suspend Lamp Lighter Electrical Contractor’s City electrical
Page 14City of Corpus Christi Printed on 3/12/2020
February 18, 2020City Council Meeting Minutes
registration; the reasonableness of the Board’s six-month suspension;
amending the Board’s decision to the 20-day suspension already served and
the imposition of six months of probation; modifying the controlling ordinance
to include probation as an option for future cases; willful noncompliance with
regulations; the consequences of noncompliance; reasons some companies do
not comply with regulations; the public’s awareness of the City’s enforcement
efforts relating to licensure requirements; implementing a stair-step procedure
for first, second and third violations versus the imposition of an arbitrary
punishment by the Board; that the suspension of Lamp Lighter Electrical
Contractor’s electrical registration only affected their ability to pull new
permits and that they continued work in progress during the 20-day suspension;
a contactor’s ability to work outside the city limits of Corpus Christi while
suspended; that Lamp Lighter Electrical Contractor had to pass on new
electrical work during the 20-day suspension; that the suspension was stayed
beginning when Lamp Lighter Electrical Contractor filed its appeal of the
Board’s decision; the number of permits Lamp Lighter Electrical Contractor
now has open; and the average length of time of a residential and commercial
job.
There were no comments from the public.

BRIEFINGS: (ITEMS 24 - 25)P.
24.Alternative Utility Financing Study Update / Impact Fee Study and
Implementation Plan.
Mayor McComb referred to Item 24.
Director of Development Services Al Raymond presented information on the
following topics: presentation overview; alternative utility financing; current

Page 12City of Corpus Christi Printed on 3/12/2020
February 25, 2020City Council Meeting Minutes
structure; next steps; why the sole source request by DSD; rough order of
magnitude; costs for service; impact fee study comparisons; impact fee
process; and impact fee implementation timeline.
Council members, Director Raymond, and Senior Vice President with
Pape-Dawson Engineers Cara C. Tackett discussed the following topics: that
$700,000 as the sole source seems steep; that the chart in the presentation is a
breakdown of impact fee study comparisons; it is a necessity for a stormwater
master plan; what a master plan entails; meeting with the citizens, leaders,
and community in terms of water and experts in terms of what we want and
what we want to see; the plan is predicated on land use assumptions all of
which is wrapped up into what creates a master plan for water, wastewater
and stormwater; the cost to build infrastructure for certain growth; land usage
assumption is already in our GIS system; impact fee studies are conducted on
a five or 10 year basis to anticipate which projects will go into the capital
improvement plan (CIP); that the plans will be available to the public on the
GIS webpage; if there are additional costs associated with the plan; if the study
could be completed in-house; what the long term interaction is with the city;
can costs from 2008/2009 studies be reviewed to benchmark previous jobs; the
law requires a creation of a citizen advisory committee with a minimum of five
members; 40% of that membership needs to be from the construction industry;
what the trust fund pays for now versus what would be paid for under impact
fees; trust fund only reimburses developer for new infrastructure; impact fees
can pay for master planning, operation and maintenance, facility expansions
and debt service; how the impact fee on a current home builder and/or
taxpayer is not affected if you have water, sewer, connect to a road and a
storm drain; impact fee is only paid by new development whether it is at
platting or time of connection; the impact fees are rolled into the price of a
home; anyone who develops pays this fee; the city and engineers and utility
group are in control of where, when and how; with impact fees, the city does
not have to be responsible for constructing everything; an incentive for the
developer to advance the cost in lieu of the city having to build it by offsetting
their construction cost; developers are concerned about the cost difference
between trust fund versus impact fees; if the impact fee study comparisons in
the presentation are actual studies in the cities listed; the goal of an impact fee
is to find a balance between a developer driven process versus a city driven
process; and the great effort to move our city forward.
City Manager Peter Zanoni congratulated the staff for delivering the task
timely.
25.Proposed Bond 2020 Overview
Mayor McComb referred to Item 25.

(G.O.) debt capacity; financial impact; alternative tax rate option for bigger
bond program; and recent G.O. Bond programs.

and Director Edmonds discussed the following topics: tax rates have two
Page 13City of Corpus Christi Printed on 3/12/2020
February 25, 2020City Council Meeting Minutes
components, the debt rate (I&S) and the general funds needed to maintain and
operate the city (M&O); recent legislation pertains to the general fund side; the
I&S side was excluded from the legislation; where we stand on current bond
2016-2018; the debt plan will be dicussed in more depth at a later date; the
2016 bond project is under construction and near completion; the three bond
2018 projects, which were changed and funded with the Type A sales tax, are
well under construction; the 2014 bond projects are mostly complete except for
the one impacted by the Harbor Bridge; the amount dedicated to roads is much
less than needed; the key is recommending fewer, but bigger and more
complete projects; the comparison of last year's budget to this year's budget;
the funds for the 2021 budget will be tax revenue and possibly savings or other
projects; that streets will be a high priority; the remainder of the money goes to
parks and facilities, roofs and maintenance, public safety, senior centers and
community centers; the last bond program was focused primarily on
maintenance, therefore capital will be highly recommended; how to
implement the monies being distributed; if the current tax rate is under the
charter imposed cap; if the budget includes the new police contract; the two
cents for residential streets has already been voter approved; and if the city
adopts a tax rate higher than 3.5% over the current M&O rate, then a
referendum would have to be placed on the November 2020 ballot.

isolation, surveillance, quarantine, or placement of persons under public health observation,
including the provision of temporary housing or emergency shelters for persons misplaced or

Mayor did authorize the use of all available resources of state government and political
subdivisions to assist in the City's response to this situation; and
WHEREAS, the City of Corpus Christi, and the people and communities of the City have suffered
or face imminent threat to the public health and the potential for loss of life and property resulting
from a disaster: the introduction, transmission, or spread (or imminent threat of the same) of

SOUTHSIDE AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN
MARCH 17, 2020
INTRODUCTION
DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAN
The Southside Area Development Plan
(SADP) is an element of the Plan CC
Comprehensive Plan. The SADP is intended
to provide an analysis of the Southside Area
and create strategic recommendations to
guide future development. As the community
grows, the City should have plans in
place to guide the anticipated growth. By
understanding development patterns and
the impact it has on the community, the City
will be better prepared for the future. This
plan serves as a guide for City leadership to
make regulatory and policy decisions as well
as prioritize infrastructure improvements to
increase the quality of life.
The Southside Area of Corpus Christi is
located south of South Padre Island Drive
(SPID), east of the Crosstown Expressway,
and is bounded by Oso Creek and Bay
to the south and east. The Southside is
experiencing most of the recent development
in the City, and the growth is anticipated to
continue.
The SADP was developed through a
comprehensive public engagement process
that integrated the examination of the
existing conditions and the vision of the
community.
An Advisory Committee was created to
assist in guiding the planning process and
provide a representation of the area’s
residents, business owners, students, and
stakeholders. The committee’s participation
was essential to the development of the
final plan. Although the Advisory Committee
championed the process, the community
was involved throughout the process and
participated in multiple engagement events
and activities. Residents and stakeholders
gave their input regarding the future of
the Southside through online surveys and
various community engagement events,
including a Community Open House and a
four-day Community Think Tank. Many of the
recommendations identified in this plan are
a direct result of the input received, resulting
in a community-driven plan.

FUTURE LAND
USE MAP
FUTURE LAND USE MAP
The use of land is a critical ingredient in
determining the way people live and work.
There are two factors to consider when
designating land use, how land is currently
being used and potentially could be used in
the future. In many cases, the existing active
land use on property remains unchanged.
For undeveloped property, there are
opportunities to shape the way land can
be developed in the future. In both cases,
the most direct tool cities have to guide
the development of land is through zoning.
Zoning is the prescribed legal use of a parcel
of land based on city regulations. Zoning is,
in large part, influenced by the designations
identified on the Future Land Use Map.
The Plan CC Comprehensive Plan identified
future land uses for the entire city and
provided guidelines for development. The
Area Development Plan process is intended
to go into further detail about land uses
and development patterns specific to the
Southside planning area. The future land use
designations for Southside have been revised
to reflect community input, anticipated
development, and best practices.
The Southside Future Land Use Map
serves as the guide for future zoning
and development decisions and provides
a foundation to support the vision and
recommendations of the plan. This is
accomplished by setting a land use
framework that influences regulatory
mechanisms and policy decisions that
shape the built environment. Each of the
designations presented on the Southside
Future Land Use Map correlates with the
designations identified in Plan CC.
ABOUT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP
The Future Land Use Map serves as a guide for zoning regulations and influences new
development and redevelopment within the City. The Future Land Use Map for the City
was adopted with Plan CC and has been revised though the SADP based on feedback from
the community.

FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES
AGRICULTURE/RURAL
ENTERPRISE
This category includes farms and other
enterprises that serve the rural population.
RESIDENTIAL USES
The predominant residential land use in the
City of Corpus Christi is the single-family
dwelling at a range of densities. All residential
categories also include schools, churches, and
neighborhood-serving public uses.
• Low-density residential: up to 3 units
per acre
• Medium-density residential: 4 to 13 units
per acre (including two-family dwellings)
• High-density residential: more than 13
units per acre
COMMERCIAL USES
Commercial land uses include retail, services,
hotel, and office uses that are typically
open to the public at large. High-density
residential uses, such as townhomes, cottage
housing, apartments, and condominiums are
considered compatible with commercial uses.
Other commercial uses, such as wholesale
and distribution businesses, are included
in the light industry category because
they have similar impacts, such as high
volumes of trucking. Schools, churches, and
neighborhood-serving public uses can be
included in commercial land use areas.
INDUSTRIAL USES
Most of the industrial uses within the city
limits of Corpus Christi are light industrial;
heavy industry is generally located in the
industrial districts outside the city limits.
14
F UTURE L AND USE M AP
CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI
MARCH 17, 2020
MIXED-USE AREAS
Mixed-use centers include residential, retail,
hotel, and office uses. Mixed-use centers are
pedestrian-friendly with buildings oriented
towards the street. Residential uses are
generally of a higher density, including
apartments, condominiums, townhomes,
cottage housing, and small-lot single-family
residential. The mixture can be vertical, with
different uses on different floors of a building,
and horizontal, with different uses side by
side. Churches, schools and public uses are
included in mixed-use areas.
INSTITUTIONAL
Hospitals, colleges, universities, schools, large
churches, and similar institutions, whether
public or private, are designated as separate
land uses because of their campus-like
character, which requires special attention to
edges and relationships with adjacent areas.
TRANSPORTATION
Airports, railroads, highway and interstate
rights-of-way.
GOVERNMENT
Government uses include federal, state,
county, regional and municipal government
facilities and installations, except for
government-owned institutions.
PERMANENT OPEN SPACE
Parks and playgrounds, recreational fields and
facilities, greenways, and other green areas
managed for public access and recreation.
FLOOD PLAIN
CONSERVATION
Lands within the 100-year flood plain,
preferably preserved for environmental
reasons.
Note: For more information about categories
included in the Future Land Use Map, please

by a variety of regulatory factors, market
influences, and budgetary availability; a
community with a clear vision can better
focus the goals for the future. The vision
for the community should be a high level
overarching idea of the future that maintains
a singular path for the future. To achieve that
vision, the City must make an effort to direct
development and make improvements that
align with the vision.
Through the public engagement process,
four themes began to emerge related to the
residents desires for the future. The following
are the vision themes identified:
• Celebrate Our Safe, Family-Oriented
Neighborhoods
• Improve Transportation Conditions
• Enhance Parks and Trails
• Promote the Oso Creek and Bay as a
Community Amenity

VISION
Maintaining a quality transportation network is essential to meet current demands and prepare
for the future needs of a growing community. The existing roadway infrastructure must be
improved and maintained to support the increasing level of development in the area. The
transportation network features a transportation system that considers all users and provides
safe, convenient access to jobs, housing opportunities, and regional transportation facilities.
The transportation network should be designed to safely and efficiently accommodate
transportation options, including pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles, and public transportation. A
comprehensive transportation network provides not only different transportation methods but
also supports seamless connectivity between modes.

PUBLIC
INVESTMENT
INITIATIVES
The built environment is the physical
interpretation of the vision for the
community. The following public investment
projects represent improvements that
directly support the implementation of the
vision and goals. These projects should
inform the capital improvement program
(CIP) by prioritizing projects identified here
for future CIP planning. Some identified
projects are currently planned capital
improvements by the City. Others are
proposed projects for implementation based
on feedback from the community. The public
investment projects are divided into three
time frames:
• Short-Term (Next 5 Years)
• Mid-Term (6-10 Years)
• Long-Term (More Than 10 Years)
Short-term projects can begin soon after
adoption. These projects are considered “low
hanging fruit.” They are more attainable and
do not require large amounts of funding.
These projects are generally planned CIP
projects in the next five years.
Mid-term projects are not as attainable
within the first five years. They require
planning or funding to prepare but should be
implemented in six to ten years.
Long-term projects may not currently have
an anticipated time frame for implementation
or may require prerequisite planning before
implementation. Long-term projects should
be revisited to assess the status of the
project and determine if implementation can
be accomplished sooner.

1
Need more information on what is meant by "Celebrate". It appears that "Safe, Family-Oriented
Neighborhoods" is somewhat of a misnomer given all the illegal/violent activities that have been
occurring.
2 Graphic associated with Vision Theme 1 does NOT portray a safe, family-oriented neighborhood
but a commercial property developer's dream!
3 I don't know what this vision will actually do.
4 Family oriented is keeping big BOX stores out! They can stay where they are. There is no sense in
moving them. All you end up with is vacant big building!!
5 More parks fenced in with shade coverings and better ground cover! Bark chips aren't great for
falls.
6 All I see are commercial buildings in your picture, completely disagree with that for the London
area
7 I don't feel like the neighborhoods are all that safe, so how can we celebrate that without
establishing it first?
8 Put the homeless shelter on the southside
9 Why am I going or downing something before I see all the choices?
10 Define safe and family oriented
11 Police need to start tackling the crime sprees in our neighborhoods, especially late at night, or
this one will be another lie.
12 Unsure if corpus is truly going to be safe.
13 This is less important to me than good parks and nature trails.
14
There are not enough safeguards in place regarding child safety even in the streets of our
neighborhoods. Bike paths are not present consistently and people go way to fast even when
there are speed tables present or school zones. More crossing guards are needed at most schools
when the kids are walking to school.
15
This does not look like a family oriented neighborhood. We need communities of small affordable
family homes in neighborhoods with small stores and churches in the center, instead of large
strip malls and big highways. Family centered communities where you can safely walk or bike to
the store without fear of getting run over.
16 I’d like to see the other choices first
17 celebration may be a required cultural phenomena, but it is foreign to my policy experience

18 Safe: sidewalks with crosswalks and bike lanes lead to parks and other places of gathering
19 What is defined as family? Single grandparents?
20 Higher density is needed!
21 Higher density
22 Not just families. Need to have places to shop and work that are not a 10 minute drive.
23 The neighborhoods can be family oriented but we also need to be able to walk to shopping and
jobs so they can't be real spread out.
24 What will be the source of the funds for these improvements?
25 What does this mean?
26 Is this a picture of the north beach vision? Why is there a canal?
27 Define family. Are single adults excluded
28 Need higher density
29 We need more resources and playgrounds for disabled children and families with disabilities
30 This picture has no context so I’m unsure of where this actually is.
31 I agree, but it will need to be kept clean.
32
Nice in theory. But 30 years behind the planning curve for this. Failure to maintain infrastructure
has caused once great neighborhoods to decline. Selling off neighborhood parks and green space
was shortsighted.
33
Of course residents want safe communities. This is a base line theme for any community, not
something that needs to be agreed upon. Fund the police department with more officers to patrol
residential areas at night.
34
All the resources put into the south side, the fact that you’re advertising this on Facebook, I feel
like that’s where all the resources go. Why not give that side of town some government housing?
Oh that’s right the wealthy don’t want that in their neighborhood. Is that part of your vision?
35 I would agree if there was clarity on the vision that you Are wanting to celebrate.
36 This should remain within City Limits, not the London area. London is rural and should remain
rural for the country feel, not the city feel. This would be ideal in Yorktown.
37 Don’t commercialize London
38 Would have to disagree if this means excluding low-income housing, shelters, and apartments.
Seems to invite fear of others.
39 I don’t understand how the rendering illustrates either a safe or a family oriented neighborhood.
It looks like a commercial neighborhood...?
40 I like the idea, but wit regular car break-ins and such, I don’t feel like it’s honest.
41 Cars are broken into every night in driveways. Does seem super safe and I don’t really get what
this theme would do.

"There is an area on Cimmarron, Cimmarron Crossing that seems to have been forgotten. There
are sidewalks up and down except for this area in which there are still ditches. It’s the area just
past Mireles Elementary.
Finish what needs to be finished first!
This ditch , looks horrendous, is a safety issue and is affecting our property values."
2 Where can I read the vision theme
3 There is no efficient way to get from Yorktown to SPID, and the more Southside gets built up, the
worse it is getting.
4 Improve public transportation! Bike Lanes and sidewalks need attention too!
5 Dedicated bike lanes on sidewalks should be established. Also, the sidewalk on Wooldridge Rd
between Adkins and North Oso Parkway needs to be extended.
6 Bike lanes should not be on county roads in London. Speed limits have already dropped and bike
lanes would make it slower. Support this for city roads
7 Mass trans such as dart like system takes years of planning. RTA busses too large and routes few
and far between. Takes hours to get where you need to go
8 Like I said before all you people have forgotten about the disabled children and families in these
communities
9 With an emphasis on street and pothole maintenance.
10
With an emphasis on street and pothole maintenance. Also more
Cross walks are needed near our children’s bus stops and schools at commonly used crossing
areas.
11
Corpus can become a touristic place, but one of the less attractive things it has is that it doesnt
have a good collective transportation. Will love to be able to have options different than my own
vehicle.
12 The roads here are worse than any other in any City I've ever lived in, and it seems it's taking
extremely long to repair the ones being worked on.
13
Dont put the bike lanes on the sidewalks. Cyclists ride to fast for the bumpy sidewalks yall out
on the new ennis joslin and pedestrians keep walking in front of cyclists because they have head
phones on.
14 What will be the source of the funds for these improvements?
15 The roads need fixing before we build new ones. And when you're fixing them make sure you put
sidewalks and bike trails. Don't build New roads for developers. Let them build them themselves.

Fix all of our existing roads before we build New roads or sewers. if the developers want roads
and sewers they should pay for it and not get reimbursed. We need sidewalks and bike trails. start
building neighborhoods like they used to where all the streets are connected in squares not stub
streets.
17 No more medians!
18 I basically agree, however, I worry about the safety in the bicycle lanes on major streets like
Staples. I think a better idea could be found.
19 Mobility CC and long range plans need to be enacted. Stricter regulations requiring developers to
help build infrastructure.
20 Connectivity more than just transportation ...
21 City needs infrastructure for the growth. Synchronized lights needed to prevent unnecessary
traffic.
22 Work on this for the entire town, not just lavish roads for you touch people
23 Again this does not constitute safely. We need smaller communities where you can get to know
your neighbors instead of huge highways.
24 Transportation system is already in place and appears to be functioning properly.
25 Also include walking distance activities
26 This is less important to me than good parks and nature trails.
27 In the long run or short?
28 Again all I see in your picture is commercial property, completely disagree with this for London
area
29 I wish it was safe to ride my bike to work
30 Enforce laws and ordinances already on the books
31 Most important
32 Wooldridge needs to be widened with gutter and sidewalks east from Rodd Field to make access
to Adkins MS safer for kids. For the same reason Victoria Parkway needs curbs and sidewalks.
33 The graphic is an insult to Corpus Christi taxpayers.
No more water-hungry, landscaped medians! How stupid are we??
34 More safe bike lanes. It would be great to be able to bike around the city. We need to cut down on
our carbon footprint!

1 When our City sells off park properties that it can't afford to maintain, one must wonder about
the viability of such a vision.
2 Not enough safe space for families.
0 good walking areas.
3 Yes yes! We need lots of this and a sports complex
4 The Oso Bay Wetlands needs a Hike/Bike bridge across Holly to Flour Bluff with a corresponding
park on the Flour Bluff side.
5 Very much so.
6 The parks are absolutely horrendous here. We NEED splash pads.
7
This is 100% necessary if you want to say the south side is family oriented and safe. The parks
around here are rusting and so unsafe and out of date - Oso Bay is the only decent play place and
we need more. Other cities have very nice, clean, update parks and playgrounds in nearly every
subdivision. Swings, play places for toddlers and older kids, properly kept up and created, etc.
Families need parks and trails that are safe and well maintained to create a sense of “safe and
family oriented” neighborhoods!
8 If city parks can actually keep the parks maintained
9 Shaded splash pad for infants/toddlers and older children
10
The city of Corpus Christi is so far behind than other cities when it comes to parks. It is so sad,
because we should have parks in every neighborhood. Especially on North Beach, downtown, the
island, and the beach. We should have a work out park on the beach!
11 Less housing and improved parks
12 Parks are beautiful. But corpus can’t mow the ones they have now.
13 We need more city pools on the south side!!
14 Splash pads, covered playgrounds
15
No more tearing down trees!! Leave the coastal wetlands alone (people trash the trails, including
photographers - perhaps the city needs to create a process in which for-profit individuals/
companies that use these public parks/trails must register w/the city in an effort to bring
awareness to them & their cliets).
16 Signage and wayfinding at parks. Adequate open space for organized free gathering of organized
sports. (soccer, football, quidditch, etc.)
17 I like the walking paths.

I live next to South Bay Park and have seen it decline over the past 5 years. Neighbors would
paint the swing set, but when it became rusty and old the city removed it and didn't replace it.
When people are trying to help take care of the city, that should be your focus. The park had a
small playscape, a baseball back, a sprinkler system, swings, and a waterfront bulkhead. None of
that exists now and the bulkhead is crumbling and a makeshift fence that was put up is crumbling
now as well.
19 we should be able to go everywhere we need to buy bicycle and most of the trip should not be on
a road with cars and trucks and the crazy drivers we have here.
20 What will be the source of the funds for these improvements?
21 Make bike trails also
22 Corpus Christi needs a multi-purpose sports complex with turf soccer fields, inside basket ball
facilities etc. please refer to Round Rock, Texas multi-sport complex as an example.
23 Unrealistic
24
Make long bike trails. Riding in the street...the traffic is too close to bikers and not paying
attention (looking on their phones) and they hit the bike. Need a space of grass between the
traffic and the bike lane as they do in Ohio.
25 This especially needs to happen. Huge lush field in the Schanen Estates area, yet the playground
equipment is rusted beyond safe playing.
26 There is sooo much potential for better, much more trails
27
I would like to see mixed use trails. There are no equestrian trails around and along the Oslo
marked as such. In fact there’s not one single horse trail in the city however there is a strong
horse community that would support them. Also all running trails should have lighting for safety
and better trail head access for families with strollers or bikes.
28 Make these parks handicap accessible and ready for children with disabilities and autism
29 Trails yes, parks no
30 More areas for children and family’s to spend time outdoors. Covered playground
31 A better larger natural dog park
32 Then why did city sell the neighborhood parks? For a quick buck?
33 Please incorporate as much shade as possible with the parks...they become unusable in the
summer sun
34 Fully support for southside Corpus Christi (Yorktown, Oso, and London)
35 I love Oso Bay Wetlands Preserve. The visitors center is great and the trails are awesome, very
well kept. The playground is wonderful as well.
36 I really really wish CC had more bike trails. Long ones, where you can actually cycle vs a 1-mile
route.

Fewer but better parks. Falcon Park was used a lot by me and friends. When they took the old
stuff down they replaced it with terrible choice. Nobody goes anymore. It is useless to little kids
and my 6 yr old is bored with the play structure after 5 minutes. Mow the area down to prevent
snakes and please put decent playgrounds in that kids can use. I get it is ada compliant but now
nobody goes. I’m so sad about that park. Shoreline got a decent playground. It isn’t convenient
for Southside to drive way over there. One GOOD one on this side is needed. Falcon park is near a
LOT of families. The Lakes and kings crossing and surrounding houses...and we pay a ton of taxes.
It would be nice to have a decent park for that.
38 AGREE! But with existing financial resources not new bonds or tax increases. Even if that means a
slower roll out.

1 I live close by and come here often. It is a gem! Wonderful!
2 Cautiously agree... The city is a messy group. Trash is always left behind from any size group of
people enjoying the outdoors.
3 Fully support
4 Again, of course, this is a base line theme. The waterways and ditches are lined with trash any
time there is rain. This is horrifying.
5 We’d to keep it a nature habitat. Also have a maintenance plan. I live near hike and bike trail, it
needs maintenance.
6 As long as it's safe and there is some kind of security or watch that goes on there. All we need is
more sex crimes because of these secluded paths and what have you
7 Our Communities aren’t safe. If they were we all wouldn’t need to spend money on security
systems
8 Too much vandalism here.
9 With a view towards conserving the existing ecosystem and minimizing human disruption.
10 Picture is fake. Cyclists are not allowed to ride in the park so this one is fake
11 Redeveloped the Kings Crossing Golf Corse as a public course in conjunction with the HOA
developer trying to work with the neighborhoods and the property owner.
12 What will be the source of the funds for these improvements?
13 this should only be a community amenity as long as there is habitat protected that is the same as
the oso Bay and Creek. And it needs to be permanently protected nearby.
14 Love this.
15 Not until the water quality is improved.
16 Isn’t it already promoted?
17
There is so much trash in this area already when there should be none. Who is cleaning up &
who will clean up after this development plan? It's a shame folks can't clean up after themselves,
including after their dogs.
18 I live near the oso. It doesn’t need anymore promoting.

This needs to be protected - so many areas in corpus become trashed without proper security
and maintenance. Protect the nature and resources, then promote it as a community amenity
where everyone comes together to help keep it nice.
21 Let's be careful not to do too much development here. Protect the environment
22 Connect Oso Bey Wetlands with a hike/bike bridge across Holly with a corresponding park on the
Flour Bluff side.
23 Walking and biking trails would be nice. Include policing of these areas.
24 This may be expensive and not worth the cost.
25 It would be better if it were cleaned up more. Possibly even add kayaking/canoeing trails
26 Don’t limit density or commercial growth. High density is preferable!
27
Oso Creek is long-polluted and flood prone. As TCEQ continues to allow out-flows from chemical
industry and NO efforts are made to impose flood controls, such a vision is a very expensive,
grotesque fantasy.

PARK ENHANCEMENTS FEEDBACK
9
Focus on making smaller parks like Cedar Ridge Park with updated play grounds like a small
jungle gym for families and children to come out and play and spend less time on screen time
and more time outdoors. Also, that park could use a walking bridge so that kids could use their
bikes, skateboards or scooters at Shannen Walking trail. There Is no access from Cedar Ridge
Park, kids and families have to cross Yorktown which could be dangerous for children.
10
This has to include actually updating play equipment at parks. Nearly every neighborhood park
hasn’t been updated since the 90s and they are rusty, unsafe, and unused. We need more than
mowed parks - we need ones young families can actually use safely with their children.
11 Shade please!
12 Each new residential development should have access to parks/playgrounds within a mile.
13
I wanted to pay for a tree and a bench through the parks dept. because the walking trail/sidewalk
behind Pennine Way doesn't have any trees but the prices were increased so much that it just
doesn't seem reasonable to pay about 1,000 for a tree and bench. Please install signs at the
parks and walking trails indicating city ordinances so police officers can issue citations to people
violating them.
14
We have too many parks at this time, we need to do an overview of which parks to keep and
which to repurpose. Too many parks are causing a financial burden on the city and taxpayers.
The are not being utilized by the community so why have so many, usage does not justify the
number that we currently maintain.
15 Shaded rest areas
16 Oso bay nature preserve is the only Paul I can think of in corpus that has large shade sails. It's
hard to be out long, especially in the summer if there's no shade in parks!
17 Increase diversity of foliage. Attractiveness of roadways. Ensure trees and shrubs are cut
appropriately.
18 Bill Witt Park needs to be enhanced with improved soccer fields, baseball fields, kick ball and a
Tennis Center with a multipurpose building to help manage all the sports and a swimming pool.

1 Bring sewer and water to the London area. Encourage high density. Master plan the area.
Commercial all along Highway 286 in London.
2 The southside is very congested. Streets need to be improved; water pressure is not great;
3
To expand city infrastructure in this area for anything other than natural drainage flood
protection and green infrastructure is an invitation to more destruction where hard scape and
residential structures are concerned. Infrastructure has many definitions and uses/dedication.
"Yes" to green infrastructure for natural wetland and natural feature preservation. "NO" to hard
infrastructure to put residential investment in this flood prone area.
4 Land maintenance and policing are badly needed
5
This city needs to do a better job of planning infrastructure replacement by set up schedules
of when to renovate and upkeep on a timely manner, current process of waiting until all
infrastructure is falling apart is too costly and is a constant burden on the taxpayers because
to wait to repair creates a massive collapse of streets, drainage, and other such needed
infrastructures. Such is the case now- where everything is collapsing and in need of replacement
and repairs which has become unaffordable.
6 Our city should be focusing on promoting redevelopment of our downtown. Growth should push
outward from downtown with higher to lesser densities of population(in general).
7 A must
8 make all canals and long ditches in subdivisions more beauitful with walking path around them
9 Expanding infrastructure should be top priority. This city needs to focus on better street
maintenance and brighter street lighting.
10 Make it safer to walk and ride bikes for families and children
11 Interesting choices, didn't you just ask me that question previously?
12 Yes make it more bigger and better looking

1 The “ forgotten “ area on Cimmarron past Mireles Elementary. Sidewalks all around us, except for
this small area.
2 Definitely need to do something about street flooding when it rains.
3 Improve the foul smell around the city!
4 Yes water more often to make corpus look more alive and groomed
5 No more flooding
6 We need safe roads!
7
Residents continue to have flooding issues in their streets/neighborhoods. Simple measures like
not blowing your grass into the street (which end up in storm drains) would help. Can there be an
initiative to educate our citizens and landscapers to stop doing this?
8
With all the new construction this should take priority. Where all the runoff from all the current
land being developed will run off too should be a huge concern as runoff contains extreme
amounts of pollutants. If you will promote oso bay as a community enhancement with parks and
rec activities you don’t want folks in environmentally unsafe area. As much as the south side
needs a way to get in and out of the area storm runoff should be a huge concern and enhanced
before covering all the land with homes, roads and businesses
9
Please at the end of Slough Rd make the creek wide and deep enough for the runoff water flow
freely, the brush and small trees the grew in the creek keep the water from running into the Oslo
bay.
10
Set up priority schedules of replacement and then once pipes are replaced, set up calendar
replacement schedules to continue periodically future replacements so that they all do not
collapse at one time. Maintenance schedules are see, tp be not place or are not being followed
by staff. I constantly see too many people at job sites where there is only a couple of people
actually doing the work while 6-10 other employees are just standing and watching. Not very
efficient practices being utilized. More training for staff and supervising directors needs to
be implements so there is not so much waste of man hours. Reduction of wasted time and
manhours can be repurposed to other needed projects. Since personnel budget usually make up
80 to 85 percent of most budgets, I think city leaders need to recover wasted dollars currently
used for not very efficient use of manpower and repurpose funding to streets and other needed
infrastructure projects.

13 The area needs a cohesive storm water drainage plan
14
My friends have houses and yards that flood on Southside! You can't develop if there
still runoff isn't exquisite! Also it keeps the mosquitoes from getting out of control. All
other things being equal between 2 cities, people will move away if sirms instill fear of
flodding and mosquitoes are bad.
15 Storm water management is existential to safe development. Residential development
and community investment in the low reaches of this area are risky and not wise.

"I think that who ever planned the city medians in the past did a terrible job and created a
sinkhole for city maintenance dollars. I have lived in many different cities in Texas do have better
medians which are very attractive but require very little maintenance. Ours medians are a very
unattractive, dangerous, and very expensive to maintain.
Our city lighting throughout our city is terrible, dangerous in that there is no adequate lighting
with I am sure has contributed to the many people who have been killed and hurt by being run
over. The type lighting is very inefficient and sub standard. I bet we are wasting an enormous
amount of electrical cost by the type of old lighting that we currently have. Our street are
currently made of asphalt and even though they are cheaper they do not last as long as
concrete. Other cities have bitten the bullet and replace streets especially major thoroughfares
with concrete so that last longer and provide a safe surface for our vehicles. "

The "attractive" corridor on Yorktown between Everhart & Staples isn't so attractive. Lanscapers
(i.e. contractors) planted hundreds of cheap individual plants that will die quickly. Not to mention
it took them months after completion of thw road to plant. The stretch of Yorktown between
Staples & Cimarron has seen dead vegetation over the last couple of years. Grass becomes
overgrown too. Why aren't we xyroscaping and/or planting mature trees in these medians?
We need shade, low water plants, and beauty in this South Texas weather. Also: not related to
beautification, but related to these stretches of Yorktown, are the open areas of the median a
drive-thru (for cars to directly cross Yorktown), a u-turn lane, or a left turn lane? At any given
time you can have all 3 going on, a breeding ground for accidents. I can't tell you how many
times folks u-turn against the shoulder while someone is trying to make a left turn from the
opposite direction. Painting (yellow & white) on the road should be considered in these areas. San
Antonio & Austin streets have the paint.
9 We MUST improve our infrastructure first and foremost; otherwise we’re going to have an urban
sprawl problem the likes of which we have never seen before!
10 Let kids know that food grows in the ground; does not always come out of a box in the
grocery store
11
This is a City wide problem! Newly paved streets are rutted and bumpy in no time. Make
contractors accountable, improve inspection process and do not repeat past mistakes!
Ocean Drive is a perfect example! Embarrassing to take out of town guests on it.
12 Significant improvement ongoing
13 Make sure to add bike lanes. Lots of people have expressed a desire to ride to work but
corpus has horrible unsafe roads so they drive
14 Yes make sure all areas have side walks to keep walkers safe
15
The lack of sidewalks is unsatisfactory. Persons that are disabled and children are
forced to walk or ride in the roadways .far too many people have been killed because of
this.

OSO CREEK AND BAY
OSO CREEK AND BAY FEEDBACK
1 Support and help finance the Oso Creek hike and bike trail.
2 This will add to the quality of life for those in our entire community.
3 Need to make oso more exercise friendly like with bike lanes
4 These are all equally important. The differences between them are 0.000001
5
I think this would be a far more cost effective way of using existing land to repurpose for parks
and walking nature trails instead of having so many parks I our city. By doing a comprehensive
remodeling of the Oso Creek and Bay is a cheaper way to provide resident with that type of
environment and getting rid of many of our existing parks throughout the city. The reduction of
city parks will greatly reduced the maintenance dollars now being allocated and used to maintain
all parks. By ridding yourself of these excessive parks can recover money to do work on Oso
Creek and Bay recovery and still save the city many dollars in maintenance expense budgets.
6
The creek behind Pennine Way needs to be redone so when it rains it won't flood the surrounding
homes, make it deeper with higher dirt mounts to contain the overflow of rainwater and have it
clearly marked with sign indicating no motorized vehicles, no mopeds, no golf carts, no motor
cross,etc juveniles go muddling with their trucks on the areas surrounding the creek, there was a
major crash between a 4wheeler and a pocket motorcycle one of the juveniles cracked his head
open major head injuries because there are no signs prohibiting the vehicles.
7 preserve it, protect it!
8 This is a natural resource that has so much potential! Trails, viewpoints, etc. But these
trails need to connect to other trails that can get us there safely.
9
"This should only be done if someone with knowledge on ecosystems is in charge - if a
park is built or other tourist area without proper management, it will destroy the natural
wildlife in our area and make our waters even dirtier.
A fishing pier with safe parking, well lit trails, regular patrolling and cleaning efforts, etc
would be awesome. "

11 Realisiticly, I don't think Corpus has enough money to do this right.
12
It is critical to the south side that the kings crossing golf course watershed area is
maintained as such and green space continue to be incorporated to help the drainage
system. The area floods and little regard to this issue is being addressed. The south
side needs smart growth not just neighborhoods with small strip malls cut in with no
character. The zoning should also be established in line with other communities in Texas.
Developers need to be held accountable to community planning.
13 My family loves nature, please preserve it.
14 Could make it a nice vacation getaway
15 ecoprotection and economy, mixed: mutual support :)
16 Just keep spreading and destroying natural habitats. More concrete, one more shopping
strip, one more road to convenience people.
17 Oso is amazing! The opportunity to be exposed to wildlife and be active could add such
character to the community but it is so often marred by garbage and debris.

Installs signs and more signs to tell people what they can and cannot do, people need to be
educated about city ordinances and they need to be enforced, the quality of life is diminished
when the police cannot enforce the ordinances because people claim ignorance.
5 As the baby boomers age, many will need the option of public transit as at some point they won't

6 Ok
7 Better parks are completely necessary. One major park in this town is absurd.
8
With all the construction and new roads I think run off and flooding will be an enormous
issue as roads will flood and cut off the enormous neighborhoods being created south
of Yorktown. The road on Rodd field already looks to be very low and does not appear
to be safe from heavy rains being a major artery from flour bluff to London area. I also
disagree with developing so much land especially for commercial and light industrial use
so near to the bay. This will pollute the also sanctuary and cause great damage to the
area.

No RTA. Stop putting signals lights, stops signs and speed humps everywhere. Do
not allow police department to have a say in signal light synchronization. Lights
should allow traffic to continue to move not stopping at every single light. Does
anyone at the City realize how bad it is to travel down any street with the lack of signal
synchronization? There are also a number of intersections where a dedicated right
hand turn lane needs to be built. Saratoga East bound are Everhart and at Staples. No
dedicated right hand turn lane. Everyone is just backed up all the time which points out

try and tackle eight different projects that will take several years to complete. Focus your energy
into the roads. Current residents will move away and potential residents (residents college

2 Would love to see more business but I feel we need to fix what we have up already
3 Many of these options go hand in hand is things are being upgraded.
4
Require developers to install concrete streets so there is a decent life span for streets. Tour
Beaumont/Houston for similar neighborhoods built in 1970s with concrete streets and compare
to the crap streets of Corpus Christi.
5 I think you leave this up to the developers/ builders now. Why would you change?
6
This has to include nature areas with trees, flower gardens, trails, etc. The south side’s reputation
of building apartments and car washes on every block is making it less and less appealing and
family friendly.
7 We need more affordable income based apartments in the south side area for the working poor.

I disagree with putting so many businesses and light industry so close to the oso Bay
Area. This will lead to environmental degradation of the bay from all the pollutants and
run off from parking areas etc.

housing developments. Roads lanes on Yorktown need to increase to 2 lanes each way.
14 We like our rural area, dont want it over developed
15
In the low elevations of the Oso area further development is not wise. Hurricane and
tropical storm surges that converge surges from the bay side and the creek side, when
flooded, preclude further development in this area...that's simply the topographical
truth. The Oso area should be devoted to nature preservation in the form of wetlands
and storm water management. Those features are valuable and can be cultivated for
recreation.
16
I would like to see more business shopping areas and more bank satellite offices situate
to the southside, I really do not like that all malls and businesses are located off of
the SPID corridor, the current concept creates too much congestion in those areas. By
creating a more wide spread businesses will spread out the traffic to other parts of the
city.
The city should also do a better job of Planning for funding future city streets and
infrastructure replacement. The process currently in place put a lot of stress on the
taxpayers which is causing a lot of residents and taxpayers to begin leaving the city.

But also reduce areas of exiting parking lots. For example, the mall and H-E-B shopping centers
on staples St should not allow for exiting onto Staples St during rush hour, except at the light at
H-E-B. I have spent a half hour trying to get from McArdle to the SPID on Staples St during rush
hour and most of it is due to 1. cars exiting the mall and other cars letting them in and 2. people
not keeping the intersection at the SPID clear and being stopped in the intersection when the
light goes red so others cannot get through during their green light.

1 The areas need to be kept clean not overgrown. Education on how to keep areas clean seems

PROPER WASTE MANAGEMENT
1 And regular clean ups of grass areas - it’s disgusting when they mow, leave clippings in
the street and sidewalk, then all the grass is littered in trash. Makes our city look gross
2 You could do this. But among the rest of luxuries like little free libraries people will
damage them. So it’s pointless

I live on Oso Parkway, the convenience of doggie poop bags being available for pet
owners is highly utilized. Can't hurt to have the same convenience as the city expands
the south side. People use them if they are accessible
4 This element has little to do with storm water improvement.

Pet waste should be controlled. I highly agree. Could we design in some areas where
people can use the facilities when needed. I am elderly and have had accidents before

This plan is far overdue. Bill Witt Park needs to be enhanced to take care of the health

entire community.
10 I have lived here for 8 years now. My major thing about Corpus Christi is its streets
11
I hope this survey is helpful to safe, cost effective planning. However, after City policy
makers (City Council) shelved the last effort to create a Master Plan for the City, I
am not optimistic. That Plan generated enthusiastic community input and support. I
personally attended several public meetings and viewings of the plan and was stunned
to see the City Council put it into the garbage can. Developers must bear more of
the social overhead costs for expansion in the form of "impact fees," a fee modern,
growing communities fairly impose. The CC Board of Realtors vowed in speaking before
the City Council that they would defeat any Master Plan that contained such rational
fees. Apparently, the Plan's proposed impact fees resulted in the political defeat of
the Plan, in spite of Community Support. That outcome convinces me that builders,
developers, and other real estate interests will have more to say about future southside
development than persons like myself who answer your survey. Thank you for allowing
me to say that and I do hope this survey results in better planning than to put more
houses in flood prone areas and continuing to shift risks to taxpayers.
12 A larger library for the community would be nice. The existing library has very little
room with no space for the teens, and not enough space for adults and children.

I own 9 different properties within the city, these are up scale rental properties and
I pay an allot of property taxes to all of the taxing entities. I would like for the city,
school, county, and other taxing entities to do a better job of coordinating when trying
to pass bond referendums. This is the first city that I have lived in that does not work
as closely with the other governmental partners to provide taxpayer relief. Since
move here i have seen as many as three taxing entities tying to pass tax referendums
and have had no empathy for the taxpayer. I have seen many tax patrons leave our
city for London, Portland and other area cities inorder to reduce their tax burdens.
I for one have really been looking to possibly move because of this. We pay too
many taxes for what we get, terrible streets, terrible lighting, terrible infrastructure
(drainage,water,etc.) for what we pay. City leader must improve on trying to improve in
this area or I really anticipate more people leaving this city which in turn will deplete
your tax base. I cant see why current city leaders are not seeing this, this city has the
potential for so much more but population reduction if status quo continues.

Please stop showing all these "great" renderings of what it "could look like". you show
great improvements on private property that those owners will never do and it give
people FALSE sense of what the CITY is going to do and when it doesn't happen, people
are disappointed!
23 Thank you for putting thought and actions together
24 Please encourage working with Kings Crossing HOA on Saint Denis Park.
25 Your page 4 does not load so I could not do that part of the survey
26 Business minded people need to have more input into this big picture
27 Always.

Penn Place on Aaron and Weber still does not have a sidewalk to Weber. ONLY street on
Weber that does NOT connect to a Major thorough fare via sidewalk, yet we have Grant
MS two blocks in the opposite direction.

30 We need better streets faster and to plan for future growth rather than waiting til it is
upon us.
31 1 house per 1/2 acre minimum only. No more than that!
32 Starting to see a rise in homeless in south side, And getting too comfortable also at the
stop light they are walking up to vehicles more.
33 Don't want to see multiple layers of bureaucracy created to support any new planning.
Let's apply the tax monies to the actual work.
34 I'm frequently on Southside for errands and Oso bay preserve. We decided against
moving to southside because of poor design
35 I live in Gardendale. I hope to organize my neighbors in the future
36 Task 4 was not working.
37 Invest in synced traffic lights. I am tired of hitting every light on the south side!
38 I did not see anything to improve our animal shelter. How we can turn Corpus into a no
kill shelter.
39 Thank you for the survey.
40 Improve fences along major roads
41 Please consider improving our streets as the most vital concern for our city.
42
Better recreation/parks/splash pad is number one to me. I moved here last year and I
am appalled at the conditions and lack of decent parks. Landscaping is also a joke here.
Pretty embarrassing to bring guests... we quickly leave and head to the beach!
43
"Development" that is based on "infrastructure" is a long-term disaster. The creation
of a livable environment by encouraging local neighborhoods to increase their density
through multiple use of buildings while creating more shaded area would encourage
living neighborhoods instead of houses occupied only at night.
44
Thanks for the effort to update the Southside Area Development Plan! It's growing too
fast here with a new residential development breaking ground every few months. My
concern is all of the additional streets that will be connecting to Yorktown, east of Rodd
Field. They are so close to other existing streets that it is a safety concern. Also, there
was nothing in the Key Elements tab of the survey. It was blank.
45
Would love to see parks or a community center that has playgrounds for multiple age
levels, that are safe/acceptable for very small children and have larger structures or
activities for older children. Also HOA parks. I live in a lovely new neighborhood and
there is no plan for a park/playground or a neighborhood pool.
46 Fix traffic along Staples St.
47 I don't live on the Southside but spend a great deal of time in that area of town

Corpus Christi needs to expand and spread its business profile. There are smaller city
communities with more amenities and available businesses to serve their populations.
Moore Plaza and La Palmera is saturated with cars and people. We are a < 2 hr drive
from San Antonio, yet cities such as McAllen offer more business amenities than
CC. With the growth and up coming growth of CC, and to draw more young, business
professionals, we need more amenities in conjunction with our very easy sell... the
ocean.
49
"Need to work on a waste water plan to handle the current and impending development
on the south side. This Needs to be Priority one. Second come up with a master plan
now before things get parceled off. In the London area we have the opportunity to
create something to be proud of. Look at communities in larger cities, we have the
opportunity to emulate what they have done.
"
50
I think the Southside needs unique, locally owned businesses to bring people together.
It needs soul, not more box stores and chains. I hope the Southside can develop its own
identity & uniqueness like Downtown is trying to do. It needs to encourage more arts
and ways the community can connect.
51 Continue with the street improvements and notifying the business owners of the
changes so that they may better strategize how to manage their business stress
52 Keep section 8 or low income living out of the southside
53 Southside is growing too fast along with the crime. Need to stop building and fix what is
already here, streets, electric grid, street flooding, traffic
54 I used to live in the Southside, but moved due to overgrowth and congestion.
55 Just more planning up front before allowing developers to do whatever is it cheapest
for them.
56
Just to reiterate, I think it’s important to include a pool on this side of town. We have
a lot of neighborhoods over here that don’t have a pool to go to over the summer and
having one would give us way more connectivity to our community!
57 Work on other area besides the Southside.
58 Corpus could be a beautiful city and has so much potential. We are in dire need of parks
and playgrounds. Please beautify our city and make it fun and safe.
59 I really hope to see this actually happen and not just talked about or surveyed.
60 Fix our streets and make sure that the company building roads stand behind their work.
Some parts of Yorktown suck
61 What are you going to do for the rest of the town?
62
All expenditures the city makes needs to be voted on by the “Legal” documented
citizens, that means a real budget. Corpus Christi is a tourist city and needs to pull
taxes from the none citizens and none Local Citizens since they abuse and create a
lot of wear and tear on the local infrastructure. All laws need to be enforced including
vagrancy laws.

"Yes
Sustainable small business integration into existing residential areas will alleviate
the current food desert situations. Preserving riparian corridors will, as stated in
the drafts, protect existing infrastructure as well as encourage ecotourism. Section
6.5a suggests exploring partnership with CC ISD; I would discourage that idea most
strongly due to their own politically self-sustaining procedures. Please provide further
information about 7.2a, the rain barrel program. Good luck! Nice synopses"
64 Please fix the expressway lights on 358 and 286
65 Thank you for reaching out. Would love a large dog park to happen Southside
66 Quality dog park is needed. Shade structures in Bill Witt and other red areas are
needed.
67 We need more grocery stores on the Southside. Also, a 4 way traffic light on Yorktown/
Loire with the huge increase that has already occurred in traffic on Yorktown.
68
We really need to focus on the crazy amount of potholes we have all over corpus. Its
ridiculous. We pay you guys so much money in taxes and yet you still cant enhance
the community. Why would I give you more money when you can properly handle the
amount I already give you. There is more to cc than the southside. There is so many
places that would clean up nice if you invested in them as much ad you invested in the
in the nice parts of town
69 NO MORE HUD PROJECTS SOUTH OF SARATOGA.
70 I have seen cities like Tucson, Arizona go from ugly to beautiful with implementations
such as these. Hope Corpus Christi can too.
71 Please see my optional comment on Vision Theme 3. Thank you
72
"Before we expand too much, fix the existing infrastructure. Streets are in terrible
shape in Kings Crossing. They were not designed for the automated double axle
garbage trucks. When major changes are being evaluated, understand the issues
before implementing the changes. Do the engineering. Remember - do a few things
well rather many things poorly.
Infrastructure (streets), public safety, legal requirements are the items to prioritize."
73
I thought that infill was already encouraged. Whatever we need to do to develop those
vacant parcels we need to do. If that means giving incentives, give incentives. It's stupid
to keep expanding out that just costs more for everybody because of the sewer and
water lines and roads. why in the world would we keep doing that when there's vacant
land inside?
74 I grew up in CC Southside. Graduated from Mary Carroll.
75
I would love to see an increase in walkability on the southside. Of course with proper
safety education and awareness of cyclists and pedestrians. I love the idea of more
parks and trails and safer, new roads.
76 Our parks are constantly flooded and terribly neglected. Unsafe equipment and tall
grass make our parks unenjoyable.

77 Try to incorporate these surveys in each city facility. City hall information center. Utility
bill insert and it can be dropped off at CH. Libraries.
78 Not at this time.
79 I cycle all over the south side.
80 Please update smaller parks on the Southside. For example, the Cedar Ridge Park could
use a modern jungle set and a walking bridge.
81 We desperately need updated and shaded parks for our kids to play
82 The south side is been forgotten even tho we pay high taxes. We need our streets and
side walks to be renewed. We need better more parks.
83 Housing communities are going up quicker and the current traffic situation is becoming
unsustainable for the area.
84 I’d love to see some focus on the Flour Bluff area that is attracting lots of new growth
as well.
85 We need more to do in the Southside for all ages. Updated retail and restaurant
developments. Would love to see things similar to Houston and San Antonio.
86 I support splash pads on the Southside!
87 Great job beautifying Corpus Christi.
88
Yes. We need a sidewalk on Victoria Park Dr. Kids walk to middle school on the side of
the road every day. It’s a tragedy waiting to happen! The city did not answer our request
saying there’s no one to pay for the sidewalk. Do we really need to wait for someone to
get hurt before something is done?
89 I look forward and am excited to see positive changes in the future!
90 We love living on the Southside! Oso Creek Wetlands was a spectacular idea - such a
(still) hidden gem out here.
91
Please put something at falcon park. I heard the neighborhood must raise money and
maintain a kids playground if we want one back. After paying our $9000 in taxes like
most of my neighborhood I think a decent park isn’t too much to ask for. Thanks.
92
Southside is the way to grow the city. More restaurants, retail and entertainment need
to come to the Southside where majority of residents LIVE. Brewsters Southside was
a GREAT opportunity for the south. Residents no longer have to travel so far to go
downtown and be stuck in tourist destinations. More restaurants/ entertainment like
brewsters need to come to Yorktown and Deep South where the city has so much
opportunity for growth. Oso bay wetlands is an amazing gem in the south, this would
be great for near the botanical gardens! Do not commercialize London.
93 Yes, enhance parks and trails, protect our wetlands, improve storm drainage, and
increase safety for roads.
94 Need more playgrounds with shade
95 Roads have to be maintained before any of these great things can continue

Let's be more intentional in creating more access for the public, open to creative
community cooperation and cut out some traditional money-zapping things for the
better things.
97 We need bike trails with a separate pedestrian walk way. Also wider streets 2 vehicles
should be able to pass simultaneously on a residential street
98
You guys need to quit worrying about bushes trees and plants you need to get the
lights synchronized so traffic moves along better. There are also school zones that need
to be removed and the times readjusted. You also should be building mini overpasses at
future intersections that you build on the southside to try and keep traffic moving.
99
As our city grows, we hope that officials will be more watchful of heavy industry that
can pollute our bay and area. Please no more tax abatements and water giveaways to
wealthy corporations. Thank you.
100 N/A
101
One of my primary concerns is the continued reduction in efficiency is getting from
Yorktown to SPID. It keeps getting worse. Please figure out how to help manage traffic
flow. I’d also like to see CC become more cycle friendly. Bike lanes are a start, but no
longer very safe in the mobile phone, distracted driving era.
102 Please look into covering up the ditch, adding sidewalks on Cimmarron just past Mireles
Elementary.
103
More sidewalks are needed near Adkins. The new apartment complex has an entrance
and exit on the two lane wooldridge road between the stop sign. It is going to be a
dangerous situation for kids walking to school. Also the traffic is going to be horrible.
Something has to be done about easing the congestion.
104 I am curious about how to fund all of the great ideas discussed in this plan.
105 I like the rural feel of our Southside area (London). I prefer to keep it as rural as
possible.

Public Engagement:
To develop the London ADP, the planning team gathered public input during community meetings
and open houses on January 28 and April 1 through 4, 2019, as well as from an online survey
instrument. In addition, an Advisory Committee and Student Advisory Committee provided
guidance on the process and content of the documents throughout. Staff also briefed Planning
Commission on March 20, 2019 and December 18, 2019.
The planning team released a public review draft of the London Area Development Plan and
hosted a Community Meeting and Open House on December 5, 2019. In addition, an online
survey gathered community feedback on the draft document.
Document Updates:
The current London ADP was developed through an iterative process with the Advisory
Committee and the public. Previous drafts of the Southside ADP were released on October 29,
2019; November 18, 2019; and January 14, 2020. The current document incorporates Advisory
Committee, Planning Commission, and public input provided to the planning team.
ALTERNATIVES:
The November 18, 2019 draft of the London ADP reflected lower-density development along the
Staples Street / FM 2444 corridor. Feedback from the community was to increase residential
density in this area and increase commercial uses along the corridor.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated with this item.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and Planning Commission recommend adoption of the London Area Development Plan.

INTRODUCTION
DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAN
The London Area Development Plan (LADP)
is an element of the Plan CC Comprehensive
Plan. The LADP is intended to provide an
analysis of the London Area and create
strategic recommendations to guide future
development. With anticipated growth
in the London Area, the City should be
prepared to balance the needs of existing
and new development. New construction in
the London Area occurring both inside and
outside of city limits will have an impact on
other areas of the City. The plan includes new
future land uses for the area, a vision of the
future based on public input, specific actions
to achieve the vision, and infrastructure
initiatives for the implementation of the
plan. This plan will serve as a guide for City
leadership to make educated regulatory
and policy decisions. This plan will also help
prioritize infrastructure improvements to
increase the quality of life for the community
and ensure sustainable growth.
The London Area is primarily located outside
of Corpus Christi city limits south of Oso
Creek with some areas within the city limits.
The area extends south to County Road 18
and west to County Road 51. Development in
the London Area is mostly undeveloped with
some residential subdivisions.
The LADP was created through a
comprehensive public engagement process
that integrated the examination of the
existing conditions and the vision of the
community.
An Advisory Committee was created to
assist in guiding the planning process and
provide a representation of the area’s
residents, business owners, students, and
stakeholders. The committee’s participation
was essential to the development of the
final plan. Although the Advisory Committee
championed the process, the community
was involved throughout the process and
participated in multiple engagement events
and activities. Residents and stakeholders
gave their input regarding the future of
the London through online surveys and
various community engagement events,
including a Community Open House and a
four-day Community Think Tank. Many of the
recommendations identified in this plan are
a direct result of the input received, resulting
in a community-driven plan.

FUTURE LAND
USE MAP
FUTURE LAND USE MAP
The most direct tool cities have to guide the
development in city limits is through zoning.
Zoning is the prescribed legal use of a parcel
of land based on city regulations. Although
zoning is influenced by the designations
identified on the Future Land Use Map,
zoning only applies to areas located within
city limits. Most of the London Area is located
in the ETJ. While there is no zoning in the
ETJ, the future land use designations can
help influence development patterns.
The Plan CC Comprehensive Plan identified
future land uses for the entire city and
planning areas to provide guidelines for
development. The Area Development Plan
process is intended to go into further
detail about land uses and development
patterns specific to the London planning
area. Through this process, the future land
use designations for the London Area have
been revised to reflect community input,
anticipated development, and best practices.
The London Future Land Use Map serves as
the guide for future development decisions
and provides a foundation to support the
vision and recommendations of the plan. This
is accomplished by setting a framework that
influences regulatory mechanisms and policy
decisions that shape the built environment.
Each of the designations presented on the
London Future Land Use Map correlates with
the classifications identified in Plan CC.
ABOUT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP
The Future Land Use Map serves as a guide for zoning regulations and influences new
development and redevelopment in the city limits. In the extraterritorial jurisdiction
(ETJ), the Future Land Use Map helps plan for future development and infrastructure. The
Future Land Use Map for the City was adopted with Plan CC and has been revised though
the LADP based on feedback from the community.

FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES
AGRICULTURE/RURAL
ENTERPRISE
This category includes farms and other
enterprises that serve the rural population.
RESIDENTIAL USES
The predominant residential land use in the
City of Corpus Christi is the single-family
dwelling at a range of densities. All residential
categories also include schools, churches, and
neighborhood-serving public uses.
• Low-density residential: up to 3 units
per acre
• Medium-density residential: 4 to 13 units
per acre (including two-family dwellings)
• High-density residential: more than 13
units per acre
COMMERCIAL USES
Commercial land uses include retail, services,
hotel, and office uses that are typically
open to the public at large. High-density
residential uses, such as townhomes, cottage
housing, apartments, and condominiums are
considered compatible with commercial uses.
Other commercial uses, such as wholesale
and distribution businesses, are included
in the light industry category because
they have similar impacts, such as high
volumes of trucking. Schools, churches, and
neighborhood-serving public uses can be
included in commercial land use areas.
INDUSTRIAL USES
Most of the industrial uses within the city
limits of Corpus Christi are light industrial;
heavy industry is generally located in the
industrial districts outside the city limits.
14
F UTURE L AND U SE M AP
CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI
MARCH 17, 2020
MIXED-USE AREAS
Mixed-use centers include residential, retail,
hotel, and office uses. Mixed-use centers are
pedestrian-friendly with buildings oriented
towards the street. Residential uses are
generally of a higher density, including
apartments, condominiums, townhomes,
cottage housing, and small-lot single-family
residential. The mixture can be vertical, with
different uses on different floors of a building,
and horizontal, with different uses side by
side. Churches, schools and public uses are
included in mixed-use areas.
INSTITUTIONAL
Hospitals, colleges, universities, schools, large
churches, and similar institutions, whether
public or private, are designated as separate
land uses because of their campus-like
character, which requires special attention to
edges and relationships with adjacent areas.
TRANSPORTATION
Airports, railroads, highway and interstate
rights-of-way.
GOVERNMENT
Government uses include federal, state,
county, regional and municipal government
facilities and installations, except for
government-owned institutions.
PERMANENT OPEN SPACE
Parks and playgrounds, recreational fields and
facilities, greenways, and other green areas
managed for public access and recreation.
FLOOD PLAIN
CONSERVATION
Lands within the 100-year flood plain,
preferably preserved for environmental
reasons.
Note: For more information about categories
included in the Future Land Use Map, please

VISION THEMES
Although development is generally impacted
by a variety of regulatory factors, market
influences, and budgetary availability; a
community with a clear vision can better
focus the goals for the future. The vision
for the community should be a high level
overarching idea of the future that maintains
a singular path for the future. To achieve that
vision, the City must make an effort to direct
development and make improvements that
align with the vision.
Through the public engagement process,
four themes began to emerge related to the
residents desires for the future. The following
are the vision themes identified:
• Celebrate Our Community Character
• Promote Sustainable Growth
• Promote the Oso Creek and Bay as a
Community Amenity

VISION THEMES
LONDON AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN
MARCH 17, 2020
VISION
The London Area has been characterized by having a tight-knit community character that
features large residential lots, low levels of development, and open spaces. Those living
in the London Area seek an area that does not have the hustle and bustle of the City. As
anticipated growth occurs, it is essential to ensure that the sense of community in the London
Area is maintained and enhanced. By encouraging low- and medium-density residential and
commercial development, incorporating unique design elements into the streetscape, and
integrating public trails, open spaces, and gathering areas throughout the London Area,
existing neighborhoods will blend seamlessly with future development.

VISION
Growth and development can be signs of a healthy community. The speed of growth must
not exceed the capacity of the City to provide necessary services and overwhelm the natural
environment. Development in the London Area should occur intentionally and sustainably
while following planned infrastructure and maintaining the desired low- to medium-density
of the area. Utilize planned infrastructure to create public spaces and amenities for the
community. Ensure that new development is built in concert with the environment to
preserve the natural landscape and protect adequate drainage areas and create a sustainable
community.

PUBLIC
INVESTMENT
INITIATIVES
The built environment is the physical
interpretation of the vision for the
community. The following public investment
projects represent improvements that
directly support the implementation of the
vision and goals. These projects should
inform the capital improvement program
(CIP) by prioritizing projects identified here
for future CIP planning. Some identified
projects are currently planned capital
improvements by the City. Others are
proposed projects for implementation based
on feedback from the community. The public
investment projects are divided into three
time frames:
• Short-Term (Next 5 Years)
• Mid-Term (6-10 Years)
• Long-Term (More Than 10 Years)
Short-term projects can begin soon after
adoption. These projects are considered “low
hanging fruit.” They are more attainable and
do not require large amounts of funding.
These projects are generally planned CIP
projects in the next five years.
Mid-term projects are not as attainable
within the first five years. They require
planning or funding to prepare but should be
implemented in six to ten years.
Long-term projects may not currently have
an anticipated time frame for implementation
or may require prerequisite planning before
implementation. Long-term projects should
be revisited to assess the status of the
project and determine if implementation can
be accomplished sooner.

vISION THEME 1 FEEDBACK
1 This sounds nice, but what is our "Community Character"?
2
Small rural community that exists in London will disappear with the growth if it is not limited to low density
housing. LISD is the lowest paying school district in the region. It can not keep up with growth. Faculty can
not afford to stay with the low wages. The school can not accommodate current students in buildings that
are up to standards. The high school currently has only 2 science classrooms that were designed for a middle
school science class. This plan will continue to overcrowd a school and ruin the one item that draws people to
London at over 44% favored feature. London ISD can not support the growth.
3 “Celebrate Community Character” is incredibly vague.
4 As long as area residents keep their private life and large land plot sizes. That is the London Community
Character.
5
The City is annexing these areas as Commercial/Multifamily and RS 4.5 Zoning. This is far from the Rural
Living that the City and Developers are promoting. Especially when the RS 4.5 zoning allows 13 houses per
square acre lot. It would be helpful if the City follows the plan that is selling versa annexing & Zoning it in per
the developers request. What's the point if the plan isn't being followed?
6 What do you mean by this? I like the rural feel we had. It’s getting to be something different than what I
wanted when we moved here.
7 Proper development in keeping with the Unified Development Code for our city. Annexation is important.
Stop the septic tank developments by providing access to city sewage infrastructure and drainage outfalls.
8 No one can answer why does the city needs to expand into London when it cannot fully support it's current
footprint.
9 Not enough information
10 No new subdivisions. Revitalize older areas near downtown.
11 I have no idea what this entails so I must disagree. A completely vague vision statement that has no
objectivity.
12 Too vague. What does this mean?
13
Community character is and always has been RURAL! Not the city.
KEEP LONDON RURAL!
Look at all the commercial shopping centers in Corpus Christi, majority of tenants are vacant majority of
shopping centers are vacant. There is no need for commercial shopping centers in London when the city
cannot even to fill the shopping center they currently have in the city limits.
14 Need higher density
15 In this vision do you see planting more trees? So sad the city keep growing with all new subdivisions, and the
city allowed new neighborhoods with any environmental payback for our city to look better,
16 Need higher density

vISION THEME 2 FEEDBACK
1 What is the true definition of “sustainable growth”?
2 A vision and or reality ? Adding more trees ! Come on people ...
3 Higher density
4
Keep residential as 1/2 - 1 acre homes! Keep values high! There’s a reason London is Sought after.
London has status and by creating sustainable growth toward people and just anybody can come
live in London is not making it any different than the city of Corpus Christi.
London needs gentrification!
5 What is the commitment from the city to promoted planting more trees?
6 What does sustainable growth mean to the city? This is another vague vision statement. We would
like to have sidewalks and parks added to promote activity and growth to our community.
7 Revitalize areas near downtown.
8 Public spaces and parks are a wonderful addition. Given the climate (hot and sunny), consideration
for covered parks and access to splash pads and swimming pools are paramount.
9 No septic! Need high density! Need sewer. Credits for detention and retention plans.
10 Growth should be organic and natural, not taxpayer funded.
11 Again, achieve a good mix of commercial, single and multifamily zoning and city services through
annexation and infrastructure for well planned sewage and drainage.
12 Large areas, parks, trees, nature areas need to stay. No compact houses, no small land area plots.
13
How will the growth be sustained? When it floods, school has been delayed and canceled. The
restrooms at LISD have been temporarily shut down due to the septic systems being full due to
flooding. With developments. The farm land that currently serves as flood plane and drainage
will be gone and create more issues. This issue has not been addressed sufficiently. The Oso
floods easily and already adversely affects current residents. Growth will just cause more issues.
Making parks while removing the majority of the open drainage in the farm land will cause more
issues. The road ways are also an issue. The 3 lane road in front of LISD does not have room for
expansion. There are already issues with traffic during school hours. Growth will only create more
issues.

vISION THEME 3 FEEDBACK
1 The area needs attention to address the issue of drainage and flooding.
2 Access to creek and bay by everyone, not just one neighborhood.
3 The City already owns a good amount of frontage at the north end of CR 33 and east toward SH 286.
Why not dedicate it to a regional park for the citizens of the London area and areas north to enjoy?
4 If the London community wants parks, let them pay for them. Until corpus streets are no longer third
world, streets before parks.
5 More human activity in an area = less nature activity in that area. Trash, pollution, and homeless will
increase in this setting.
6 Revitalize areas near downtown.
7 This could be decent but the city always screws cyclists so this is a no, also
8 There needs to be a flood wall or some type of alterations to the creek to help with flooding.
9
For the love of God. Get all this new subdivisions developers for every house the is build they need
to plant trees, our taxes are getting higher depending on the price of the house, when the entire
subdivision is bare bake to tree to beautify our city ... think :)

LanD DEVELOPMEnT
LAND DEvELOPMENT FEEDBACK
1
Many families invest and sacrifice to live in the London community because it is small community
that is close enough to businesses. More development will change what many families have
invested in and love about London.
2 There is no need to rush to develop this area when we have not adequately developed and
maintained the central city.
3 London ISD is busting at the seams. Please don't ruin a wonderful little school district with
development.
4 Yes
5 High density needed.
6 We in London do not want expansion
7 City Water for rural homes.
8 Small, local businesses, unique restaurants should be developed. We don't need anymore chain
stores and restaurants in the community or Corpus
9 I support King’s Lake project
10 I'm not overly keen in seeing strip malls and a lot of businesses in London
11
Corpus could easily spend less of our hard earned money on nice to have but
unnecessary things. I need to see the money trail here. Pretty certain someone's uncle is
getting set to be rich at the public trough
12 No more septic.

Review and rate the importance of each strategy.
ADEQuATE INFRASTRuCTuRE FEEDBACK
1 First fix the present communities in need of repair
2
By agreeing here, I do NOT mean that we are looking to replace aerobic septic systems
with central sewage. Frankly, I think the septic systems, at least on large enough lawns,
have better long term environmental impacts than central sewage.
3 Bring in infrastructure at no cost to developers to encourage development
4 We need well planned out lift stations and trunk lines for sewage capacity. The Sanitary
sewer trust fund allocation assessments should be increased
5 Concerned about needed increased resources for London school due to new construction
6 Adequate water outflow is imperative, too much gutter flooding and stagnant water on
roads currently
7 Whoever approved septic systems on 0.5 acre lots should be ashamed of themselves.
Every home in and around this city should be on city sewer!
8
Having an school district on septic has had many issues for many years. Flooding causes
the septic system to fill with water and causes issues in the schools. With the growth,
crowing in the schools has caused issues will most of the utilities.

for their students. How can LISD pay for something such as the dome? LISD is the lowest
paying district in the region. They can not afford such a project.
3 Too early for this. Again, drive times to emergency facilities is not too long.
4 I'm not quite sure what this is so I will withhold comment.
5 That’s not eye-appealing to look at or live next to. Take it far out.
6 Everyone is going to need to come to grips with the fact that if this area gets a direct hit
from a class 3 or larger, there's going to be little to nothing that's salvageable.
EXPAND POLICE AND FIRE FEEDBACK
1 use Weber Fire dept instead of Flour Bluff. Weber is closer to London
2
That would be nice adding more body’s not expending the territory for a limited
amount of First responders in that area.. and not having to wait log a long time when
emergency’s arrived
3 County is just fine- no need for city.
4
Within reason. We do not need to rush with a fire station and branch police dept building
until density within the area justifies it. The drive time is minimal thanks to TxDot
extensions of SH 286
5 The closest fire station that dispatches to London is the Nueces County fire station, but
the closest station is on Weber (WOW). Need additional support for both police and fire.
6 make sure response time is consistent across all areas of the city
7
Being told London does not have fire or police protection is not entirely true as I have
witnessed several wrecks in the area (outside city limits) and police and EMS have shown
up quickly and adequately. I believe telling people that this area isn’t served is more of a
scare tactic than the truth. It may not be “city” personnel, but they do have service.

WASTEWATER DRAINAGE PLANS FEEDBACK
1
Flooding causes issues with the roads. School has been shut down and closed due to
flooding in the neighborhoods and concerns for student and staff safety. As more. Farm
land is developed, runoff and flooding will become a bigger issue. Not being able to use
the restroom during the school days because the septic system is full is unacceptable and
has increased with the growing student population.
2 Whoever approved septic systems on 0.5 acre lots should be ashamed of themselves.
Every home in and around this city should be on city sewer!
3 septic works just as well
4 There is already poor drainage in the London neighborhood, what will be done to help
with this?

Yes, the county should participate with county road improvements to help meet the

normally constructed by the developer, some monies should be invested by the City and
County for major outfalls to assist in proper drainage.

6 If it floods, they won't come. If the mosquitos are there, they won't come either. Both

No! Wastewater is the HIGHEST priced item on the utility bill. As a previous city of Corpus
Christi resident who sold my home to live in London to avoid paying these high prices,
waste water will just rack up the bills to those with the service!

LOW IMPACT LAND uSES FEEDBACK
1
Low impact denotes a lesser use and therefore a lower land value. The current zoning
and platting methods should exist across all areas of our city. Otherwise some are
compromised for having water front property without the ability to develop it properly.
2
Are the low-impact areas determined by the water and therefore developers can't build
anyways. This is clearly and quickly becoming about the number of houses that can be
jammed into the London area versa developing the area accordingly.

5 Don’t mess around with Oso bay .. just add more trees!
PROMOTE NEW DEvELOPMENT FEEDBACK
1
What's tight-knit? The city is annexing County land into the city. I don't have a problem
with growth but the City is not following this plan and allowing the builders to have free
reign of the developments. For those of us who actually live in the county, RS 4.5 is
hardly rural - it will be tight knit when the builders are allowed to build up to 13 houses
per square acre lot. So tight - can reach out and touch your neighbors house.....
2 keep the large home land plot areas. No 1/2 acre or less plots allowed
3 When developing a such a large capacity as what's going on, there is no longer a tight
knit feel about the community. No longer small town feel!
4
A tight knit community can not be sustained with the proposed growth. There is no
infrastructure to support it. The school is currently holding the community together. If
the school balloons in accordance with the proposed growth, the sense is a rural, small
school will disappear.
5
"Tight Knit" was frightful at a recent zoning and planning meeting. The few 1/2 acre
homeowners on septic systems already there do not represent the thousands of acres
owned by long time land stake holders or developers with at risk capital invested. We
should strive for "normal urbanization".
6
The description of this sounds nice, but what the council has started with Mr. Mostaghasi
feels like they are only looking to cash in on a new tax base. That wasn’t about sharing
London, it was about money. I’m not arguing with it, this is America, but it was about the
money.

PREvENT MOWING FEEDBACK
1
Proper land use requires some mowing. Most all the land along the Creek has been
farmed and used for crops for generations. What is the meaning and purpose of "no
mowing"?
2 How else will you enjoy the creek if you can’t walk along it.
3
Depends on the native/local fauna that live in the area. If there is not a disturbance to
the local animal population, then mowing is good - keeps the snakes, chiggers, rats, and
mosquitoes due to standing water. If it will disturb the local habitats, then we need to
consider the affects of the mowing and make an environmentally beneficial decision.
4
Mixed feelings here. For those who own private property abutting these waterways, I'm
not sure we have the right to tell them what they can and cannot do on their property.
That said, I'm all for not selling water-front property for private development where-ever
possible, so these environments can be conserved.

All the open lots within the city limits that can be used to create a tax base but the
city wants to expand into London and increase it's footprint and then catch up with
the infrastructure. CC is primary a service industry and college grads leave and yet the

maintain the current streets, manage homeless, and control crime but we're going to
expand out!
5
Sustainable growth based on smart growth principles should be utilized. Developers
should have to pay for adding additional infrastructure added into the area. Urban
sprawl, which has generally been embraced by developers should be discouraged.

The city of Corpus Christi has a great opportunity to grow beautiful out Crosstown

Whitestone area in Austin between Cedar Park and Leander on 183. Beautiful new
buildings with shopping centers and restaurants.
10 You are killing our small community school feel...
11
The drainage channel along Oso creek downstream of the greenwood treatment plant
has changed dramatically in the last 40 years. Reduced salt water despiser upstream
and increased freshwater flows from green wood have spawned increased trees and
vegetation which reduce flow capacity in floods. Look at google earth and use maps
from the 50’s and 60’s. The trees should be removed/trimmed to enhance drainage
flows and enhance the aesthetics.
12 Plans need consistency . Not just work for several builders.

I am very concerned that the whole thing is being sold & promoted to the public but the

not against the growth. I am against over development.
15 I live adjacent to the London area, right on the other side of the Oso Creek. I may not
live in the designated area, but it does effect us.
16 I and my family own farmland and improvements in the London area for over 100 yrs.
17
I believe a lot of my neighbors lost hope that the city council will respect our input. It
was a bad look to go against the zoning commission’s recommendation for the MPM
property. It seemed like they wanted that tax base so badly, that MPM got everything he
wanted with no concessions.
It’s funny that he played the compassion card with allowing new families into the district
via “affordable housing”. A large number of these homes will be nearly as expensive on
a per month basis, due to the higher cost of property taxes, now that it will be annexed,
and a higher per month cost for utilities.
Also, this large influx of children into the school will likely put a serious slowdown on
transfers into the district, as well as impact the ability of the district to keep their high
level of education excellence. Of course the school will go along with it because of.......
money!

CAPTION:
Ordinance exempting Morton Meadows, located East of Flour Bluff Drive and South of Graham
Road, from the payment of the wastewater lot or acreage fee under section 8.5.2.G.1 of the
Unified Development Code. (District 4)
SUMMARY:
Brister Surveying, Inc., on behalf of Gary and Dinah Morton, property owners, submitted a
request for an exemption from the Wastewater Lot/Acreage fee under Section 8.5.2.G of the
UDC. The applicant is requesting an exemption from the wastewater acreage fee due to the
existing wastewater collection line being located more than 1,000 feet from the property.
Under the authority granted by the Unified Development Code (UDC), the Planning Commission
granted the wastewater construction and fee waiver on October 30, 2019. A waiver from
wastewater construction constitutes the approval of an on-site septic facility (OSSF).
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
Brister Surveying, Inc., on behalf of Gary and Dinah Morton, property owners, submitted a
request for an exemption from the Wastewater Lot/Acreage fee under Section 8.5.2.G of the
UDC for their planned residential subdivision named Morton Meadows. The property totals 6.024
acres, consists of five (5) lots, is zoned “RS-6” and “RM-1” Multifamily, and is in the Flour Bluff
Independent School District.
The plat was approved by Planning Commission on October 30, 2019 and the property is located
East of Flour Bluff Drive and South of Graham Road inside City limits. Morton Meadow’s plans to
develop single-family homes on lots greater than one half acres in size. The maximum density
allowed by the zoning districts are 7.26 du/ac (RS-6) and 22 du/ac (RM-1). Based on the acreage
WASTEWATER FEE EXEMPTION FOR MORTON MEADOWS
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
First Reading Ordinance for the City Council Meeting of 2/25/20
Second Reading Ordinance for the City Council Meeting of 3/17/20
of the property, this equates to approximately 43 apartment units with 30 single family homes or 44
single-family homes.
The property owners submitted a request for an exemption from the payment of wastewater
acreage fees in accordance with UDC Section 8.5.2.G.1. The potential wastewater acreage fee is
$9,463.71, based on the rate of $1,571 per acre. The Planning Commission recommended a waiver
to the requirement to connect to sanitary sewer, finding that the subdivision was not reasonably
accessible to a public wastewater facility of sufficient capacity as determined by adopted City
wastewater standards and wastewater master plan. The subdivision properties will provide on-site
sewage facilities (septic) in conformance with the Corpus Christi and Nueces County Health District.
The proposed Morton Meadows subdivision property is not “reasonably accessible” to a public
wastewater infrastructure as defined by the UDC. “Reasonably accessible” means (i) master plan
facilities (including trunk mains and lift stations) currently exist in the designated service area, and
such facilities can be extended to serve the subdivision; and (ii) collection lines of adequate
capacity to service the proposed development are within 1,000 feet of the subdivision and can be
extended. Per Section UDC 8.5.2.G.1, areas exempt from the payment of lot or acreage fee shall
be determined by the City Council to likely be served by City Wastewater services within the next
15 years. Staff anticipates availability of service to this property within the 15-year term with
development of the properties south on Flour Bluff Drive.
Although, the planned subdivision is in a wastewater master plan designated service area, the
nearest wastewater collection line is approximately 2,200 feet away from the applicant’s property,
located near Oak Terrace and Compton Road. However, this wastewater connection is not
deemed suitable, due to being at a depth of 4-feet and will not provide the required slope suitable
for a wastewater collection line without major capital improvements including a lift station and force
main.
While the property is located approximately 1.43 miles from Truax Field (Naval Air Station-Corpus
Christi) and approximately 0.32 miles from the nearest Air Installation Compatibility Use Zone
(AICUZ), the Navy encourages reduced density within areas in proximity to flight installations
ALTERNATIVES:
Require the owner to pay the applicable wastewater acreage fee in the amount of $9,463.71
prior to the recording of the plat. If wastewater services are not available within 10 years
from the date of the filing of the plat, the property owners may request a refund.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approved of the wastewater acreage fee exemption would lessen the funds available to
reimburse developers for the construction and extension of sanitary sewer trunk main lines, lift
stations, and force main lines. Wastewater lot or acreage fees along with 75 percent of the
wastewater surcharge fee are deposited in the Sanitary Sewer Trunk System Trust Fund (4220-
21800-777).
RECOMMENDATION:
On October 30, 2019, the Planning Commission recommended that City Council approve the
exemption of the wastewater acreage fee subject to a Sanitary Sewer Connection Agreement. In
order to waive the wastewater acreage fee, City Council must approve the fee waiver. The
Planning Commission has already approved the waiver of wastewater line construction.
Staff recommends disapproval of this fee waiver request due to the high probability that new sewer
lines fronting this property will be installed within the next 15 years. The landowner may request a
refund of the lot acreage fee, after 10 years if the sewer line is not extended, per UDC Section
8.5.2.G.1.

easement is required as part of agreement.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
City of Corpus Christi (Owner) is requesting the closing, vacation and abandonment of a 1.89-
acre existing prescriptive easement on Lot 15 and 16, Section 25, Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm
and Garden Tracts, known as Airline Road. This portion of Airline Road, between Rodd Field Road
and Yorktown Boulevard, was built many years ago without any right-of-way dedication and by law
this section of Airline Road became a prescriptive easement. This abandonment and vacation of
the prescriptive easement is being requested by the City due to the Rodd Field Road Expansion
and the subsequent closure of this section of Airline Road. The Nuss Family Partnership, the
owners of the property, is dedicating a 1.2969-acre tract for a right-of-way along Rodd Field Road
and Yorktown Boulevard for the Rodd Field Road Expansion in exchange for the prescriptive
easement that is being closed. An appraisal was obtained by the City on July 21, 2017 regarding
the value of the prescriptive easement and the right-of-way dedication. The Appraiser determined
the closure and dedication to be of an equal value at $530,000. A land conveyance agreement
was approved by City Council on May 15, 2018. The agreement enabled the City to obtain land
for a public right of way via a land swap instead of by way of a cash payment.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
First Reading Ordinance for the City Council Meeting of February 25, 2020
Second Reading Ordinance for the City Council Meeting of March 17, 2020
ALTERNATIVES:
Denial of the proposed prescriptive easement closure will go against the provisions outlined in
the approved land conveyance agreement. The City has already taken possession of the
additional land required for the Rodd field Road Expansion per the agreement. The city in return
committed the property under the prescriptive easement to the owner, which they will be
prohibited from any use without the vacation of the easement. The only alternative to closing the
prescriptive easement would be for the City to default on the executed land conveyance
agreement and pay the Nuss Family Partnership fair market value for the additional land the City
acquired for the additional right of way for the Rodd Field Road improvements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no financial impacts associated with closing the Street prescriptive easement. The
prescriptive easement property is being swapped for a dedicated right of way of equal value that
is required to complete the roadway improvements of Rodd Field Road.

Ordinance authorizing a Wastewater Collection Line Extension Construction and Reimbursement
Agreement with Walker Holdings and Development, LLC to extend a 12-inch wastewater
collection line for a planned residential subdivision located on IH-69 with a completion date of
March 30, 2021; and appropriating $215,393.85 from the Sanitary Sewer Collection Line Trust
Fund to reimburse the Developer per the agreement. (District 1)
SUMMARY:
Walker Holdings and Development, LLC is required to construct 1,551 linear feet of 12-inch
wastewater collection line to the applicant’s property from the existing sewer main line located in
the city’s drainage easement north of the property in order to provide wastewater service for a
planned residential subdivision named Calallen South Unit 1. The installation of the new
wastewater utilities will extend service to the planned residential subdivision which includes
23.145 acres of undeveloped property. The developer has requested a reimbursement agreement
in accordance with UDC Section 8.5.2 Wastewater Trust Fund. The planned subdivision phase
will total approximately 73 single-family homes located in the Calallen Independent School
District.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
Walker Holdings and Development, LLC plans to install 1,551 linear feet of 12-inch wastewater
collection line in order to provide wastewater service to a planned residential subdivision named
Calallen South Unit 1 that will be constructed within City limits located along IH-69, south of
Northwest Boulevard. The property encompasses 23.145 acres of property that is zoned RS-6.
The planned subdivision phase will total approximately 73 single-family homes located in the
Calallen Independent School District.
The wastewater collection line will connect to the existing wastewater collection line located in the
city’s drainage easement north of the property. Additionally, the installation of the new wastewater

utilities will provide wastewater service to the surrounding properties that are located in the
Calallen South Wastewater Service Area.
City Council gave direction to staff at the August 13, 2019 meeting to reexamine the trust funds
and to provide recommendations on policies that govern the priority, order, reimbursement rate
and fees charged by the trust funds. City Council directed staff return within 75 days and present
their recommendations.
Due to the intensive process involved with this study, the department will not meet the 75 days
as requested. The plan is to present staff’s findings to the Trust Fund Stakeholders and City
Council with a tentative date of mid-February 2020.
ALTERNATIVES:
Based upon the current UDC language in section 8.5.2 Wastewater Trust Fund the developer
requested reimbursement for the installation of a wastewater collection line that that will serve the
planned subdivision and surrounding area. If the request were to be denied and the developer
had to assume the costs associated with the installation of the collection line to serve the property,
the project will become cost prohibitive. Another alternative is to identify the project as a capital
improvement project to be constructed by the city, establish public improvement taxing district
(PID), or impact fees to fund the installation of new utilities infrastructure in this area. This
alternative may delay this project in the short term but would establish a viable long-term funding
option for the installation of new water and wastewater utilities infrastructure without burdening
the taxpayers.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total amount requested for the reimbursement agreement is $215,393.85 and as of
December 31, 2019 the Sanitary Sewer Collection Line Trust Fund has an available balance of
$713,989.32. If the applicants request is approved the Sanitary Sewer Collection Line Trust
Fund will have a remaining available balance of $498,595.47.
The expenditures for this project are a one-time cost and are not associated with any other
projects. The Utility Trust Funds receive monthly deposits generated from Lot and Acreage Fees,
Pro-rata Fees and Surcharge Fees that are charged during the platting process. Over time the
fees collected and deposited will replenish the Trust Funds and enable other developer-initiated
water infrastructure projects to be reimbursed. The trust fund balances listed are current as of
December 31, 2019.

RECOMMENDATION:
The request is in accordance with UDC Section 8.5.2 Wastewater Trust Fund. The installation of
this wastewater collection line will provide wastewater service to the planned residential
subdivision and will make available wastewater service to the surrounding undeveloped property.
The newly installed public utilities will help foster the development of this area within this area of
Corpus Christi. Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s request.

CAPTION:
Motion authorizing a four-year supply agreement with Country Brook Design, Inc. of
Moulton, Alabama for a total amount not to exceed $369,000.00 for the purchase of
collars and leashes for Animal Care Services, with FY 2020 funding in the amount of
$53,812.50 available through the General Fund.
SUMMARY:
This motion authorizes a four-year supply agreement to purchase collars and leashes for
Animal Care Services. The collars and leashes are essential for the safety and care of
the animals at Animal Care Services. The collars and leashes will be purchased in various
sizes and lengths to accommodate the many types of animals that are under the care of
the department. Animal Care Services currently purchases collars and leashes on an as
needed basis; however, has seen a need to secure a supply agreement due to the high
volume of supplies required by the department in order to meet the demand.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The collars and leashes are used daily at Animal Care Services for animals taken into or
out of the facility. The collars and leashes ensure safety of the animals while transporting,
sustaining, detaining, or carrying animals to a kennel or its destination. The use of collars
and leashes are essential for the care of the animals. These items are also distributed
during public events, disasters, and to customers who do not come in with a collar or
leash. Animal Care Services has been purchasing the leashes and collars from Amazon
Supply Agreement for Collars and Leashes for Animal Care Services
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Action Item for the City Council Meeting March 17, 2020
on an as needed basis. Animal Care Services is seeking a long-term supply agreement
for continued use of the existing product to meet the high volume of supplies required by
the department in order to meet the demand . The long-term contract will also allow the
department to purchase the supplies at a better price.
The Contracts and Procurement Department conducted a competitive Request for Bids
process and received two bids. One bid was non-responsive; therefore, the City received
one responsive, responsible bid. Staff determined that the cost is fair and reasonable in
comparison to fair market value, and is recommending award to Country Brook Design,
Inc., as the lowest responsive, responsible bid.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternative to accepting this bid would be to require the Animal Care Services to
purchase collars and leashes on an as needed basis. In addition, a long-term supply
agreement allows for a better economy of scale.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact for FY 2020 is $53,812.50 from the Animal Control General Fund for the
first year of the four-year supply agreement for collars and leashes, with the remaining
cost of $315,187.50 to be funded in future years through the annual budget process.

CAPTION:
Motion authorizing two three-year service agreements with Southern Tire Mart, LLC of
Columbia, Mississippi as the primary supplier for an amount not to exceed $490,200.00
and Beasley Tire Service-Houston Incorporated, of Houston, Texas as the secondary
supplier for an amount not to exceed $326,800.00, for a combined total amount not to
exceed $817,000.00, for recap tire repair services for Asset Management, effective upon
issuance of notice to proceed, with FY 2020 funding in the amount of $136,166.67
available through the Fleet Maintenance Service Fund.
SUMMARY:
This motion authorizes a three-year service agreement for recap tire repair services for
City vehicles with Southern Tire Mart, LLC and Beasley Tire Service-Houston
Incorporated. Recapping tires will keep the City fleet operational and with less downtime.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The purpose for this service agreement is to provide the City with cost effective tires for
Class-8 trucks which includes vehicles such as garbage trucks, dump trucks and brush
trucks. The City has a high demand of approximately 2,500 tires a year; therefore, recap
tire repair is a substantial savings in comparison to the purchase of new tires. The cost of
a new tire can be as much as $350.00 versus $125.00 for recapping.
Service Agreement of Recap Tire Repair for Asset Management
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Action Item for the City Council Meeting March 17, 2020
Currently, the Asset Management - Fleet Maintenance does not have a service
agreement in place for this service.
The Contracts and Procurement Department conducted a competitive R equest for Bid
(RFB) process to obtain bids for a new contract. The RFB indicated a primary and
secondary award would be established to provide for a backup supplier to the contract in
the event the primary supplier is unable to provide the service. An estimated 60/40
percentage split is projected to be purchased from each of the vendors. The City received
one non-responsive bid and three responsive, responsible bids, and is recommending the
award to Southern Tire Mart, LLC as the primary vendor and Beasley Tire Service-
Houston Incorporated as the secondary vendor.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternative to accepting this bid would be to buy new tires instead of recapping tires
which will be a higher cost to the City; therefore, securing this service agreement will
result in cost savings to the City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact for the Asset Management in FY 2020 is $136,166.67 for a three-year
service agreement for recap tire repair for City vehicles, with the remaining cost of
680,833.33 to be funded in future years through the annual budget process.
Funding Detail:
Fund: 5110 Fleet Maintenance Services
Organization/Activity: 40180 Parts Room Operation
Mission Element: 202 Maintain the Fleet
Project # (CIP Only): N/A
Account: 520210 Cost of Goods Sold
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this motion authorizing a three -year agreement with
Southern Tire Mart, LLC and Beasley Tire Service-Houston Incorporated for recap tire
repair as presented.

CAPTION:
Resolution rejecting the apparent low bid of Gajeske Inc., of San Antonio, Texas as non-
responsive and authorizing a three-year supply agreement with Mann Flow Controls, Inc.,
of Houston, Texas for a total amount not to exceed $265,294.20 , for the purchase of
schedule 40 PVC pipes for the City Warehouse as a central distribution for various City
departments, effective upon issuance of a notice to proceed, with FY 2020 funding in the
amount of $51,584.98 available through the Stores Fund.
SUMMARY:
This three-year supply agreement is for the purchase of schedule 40 PVC pipe for various
City departments, to be stocked by the City W arehouse. Schedule 40 PVC pipes ranging
in diameter from ½ to 12 inches are used for various projects throughout the City. The
schedule 40 PVC pipes are being purchased for the City W arehouse and will be stocked
for purchase and distribution to various departments.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The City Warehouse purchases and stocks schedule 40 PVC pipes, so that they are
available as needed and used by various City departments. Schedule 40 PVC pipes are
essential for projects that include irrigation, water supply and facility maintenance.
The Contracts and Procurement Department conducted a competitive Request for Bid
process to obtain bids for a new supply agreement. The City received two bids. The
lowest bid was deemed non-responsive because the bidder indicated they would not hold
their pricing for the term of the contract as required by the bid documents . The Request
for Bid specifically required that the pricing be held firm for the three -year term of the
agreement. The apparent low bidder, Gajeske Inc., indicated on the bid form and by email
Supply Agreement for Schedule 40 PVC Pipe
for the City Warehouse
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Action Item for the City Council Meeting March 17, 2020
to staff that the pricing provided was only good for a single ye ar. Given the requirement
to renegotiate the pricing after a year, staff is concerned that award to the apparent low
bidder could ultimately cost significantly more than the next low bidder, who was willing
to hold the prices for the full three years as required by the bid documents. Staff is
recommending the award to Mann Flow Controls, Inc. of Houston, Texas lowest,
responsive, responsible bidder.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternative to accepting this bid would be to require all City departments to purchase
schedule 40 PVC pipe on an as needed basis individually, which would not be as
productive. In addition, a long-term supply agreement allows for a better economy of
scale.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact for the Contracts and Procurements Department in FY 2020 is an
estimate of $51,584.98 for a three-year supply agreement for schedule 40 PVC pipe, with
the remaining cost of $213,709.22 will be funded in future years through the annual
budget process.
Funding Detail:
Fund: 5010 Stores
Organization/Activity: 40000 Warehouse Stores
Mission Element: 185 Centralized Purchasing System

CAPTION:
Resolution authorizing a three-year supply agreement with OMI Industries, Incorporated
from Long Grove, Illinois for a total amount not to exceed $362,269.05 for the purchase
of Ecosorb 505 Odor Neutralizer for the Wastewater Division of the Utilities Department,
effective upon issuance of notice to proceed, with FY 2020 funding in the amount of
$70,441.20 available through the Wastewater Fund.
SUMMARY:
This is to purchase Ecosorb 505 for the Wastewater Division of the Utilities Department
to minimize odors at the Greenwood Wastewater Treatment Plant.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
In 2016, the Greenwood Wastewater Treatment Plant staff installed a 250 cubic feet per
minute Vaporization Phase Unit to minimize and control odors. This unit is in continuous
use and requires Ecosorb 505 to function properly and neutralize odors.
The Vaporization Phase Unit is specifically designed for OMI’s Ecosorb 505, a non-toxic
and non-combustible odor neutralizer. Based on the equipment manual, the use of other
products in this unit may result in a combustible mixture or create an explosive
environment, which would cause a fire or explosion and void the warranty of the
equipment.
This is a sole source purchase. OMI Industries, Incorporated is the sole source
manufacturer and distributor of Ecosorb 505.
Supply Agreement for Ecosorb 505 for Utilities Department
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Action Item for the City Council Meeting of March 17, 2020
ALTERNATIVES:
An alternative is to not award this supply agreement. However, not awarding can result
in an increased number of odor complaints, and possibly a TCEQ violation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact for the Utilities Department in FY 2020 is an amount not to exceed
$70,441.20 for this three-year supply agreement, with the remaining cost of $291,827.85
to be budgeted in future years through the annual budget process . This supply agreement
is for Ecosorb 505 Odor Neutralizer used at the Greenwood Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Fund: 4200 Wastewater
Organization/Activity: 33120 Greenwood Wastewater Plant
Mission Element: 064 Treat Wastewater
Project # (CIP Only): N/A
Account: 520010 Purification Chemicals

CAPTION:
Motion authorizing a three-year service agreement with Corpus Christi C.D. Electric, L.P. of
Corpus Christi, Texas, in an amount not to exceed $451,950.00, for pump motor and clutch
repairs for Wastewater Treatment plants, lift stations and storm water pump stations,
effective upon issuance of notice to proceed, with FY 2020 funding in the amount of
$87,879.20 available through the Wastewater and Stormwater Funds.
SUMMARY:
This motion authorizes a three-year service agreement with Corpus Christi C.D. Electric,
L.P. of Corpus Christi, Texas, for motor and clutch repairs of City pumps used in the
treatment process, and to transport wastewater and stormwater for the Utilities and Public
Works Departments.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The City’s wastewater treatment plants, wastewater lift stations, and stormwater pump
stations have a combined motor inventory of approximately 251 motors of various brands.
These motors operate pumps at various locations throughout the city. The wastewater
system relies heavily on its large inventory of pumps to collect and transport wastewater to
the treatment plants via lift stations, and during the wastewater treatment process. The City
also relies on its stormwater pumps to convey stormwater away from the downtown area.
Reliable and functioning motors are necessary for proper operation of the pumps used in
the treatment process and to prevent back-ups that can result in sanitary sewer overflows,
damage to the environment, and monetary fines associated with environmental compliance
violations.
Motor & Clutch Repairs for Wastewater Treatment Plants, Lift Stations and
Pump Stations
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Action Item for the City Council Meeting of March 17, 2020
The Contracts and Procurement Department conducted a competitive R equest For Bids
process to obtain bids. The City received one responsive, responsible bid. Staff determined
that the cost is fair and reasonable in comparison to fair market value, and is recommending
award to the lowest, responsible bidder, Corpus Christi C.D. Electric, L.P.
ALTERNATIVES:
An alternative to this motion is to operate the motors to failure, which can result in public
health and safety issues due to sanitary sewer overflows, flooding, and damage to the
environment as well as monetary fines due to environmental compliance violations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact for the Utilities Department is an amount not to exceed $87,879.20 this
three-year service agreement from the FY 2020 Wastewater and Storm Water Fund, of
which $76,894.30 is funded by the Wastewater Fund and $10,984.90 is funded by the Storm
Water Fund. The remaining cost of $364,070.83 will be budgeted in future years through the
annual budget process. This Service Agreement is for pump motor and clutch repairs at the
wastewater treatment plants, wastewater lift stations, and stormwater pump stations.

CAPTION:
Motion to implement a six-month pilot program by the Solid Waste Department to provide a
“Super Bag” debris and material collection service with a pilot fee of $135 per service, to be paid
at time of bag purchase.
SUMMARY:
This motion will allow Solid Waste Services to conduct a six-month pilot program to provide
Super Bag collection service to customers for $135. The $135 charge includes cost of the bag,
disposal, labor, equipment fuel, administrative costs, and sales tax. The pilot program is
necessary to provide information on the viability of providing this service. The Super Bag will be
available for purchase at the J.C. Elliott Collection Center.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
Solid Waste Services recognizes a need for residents to conveniently dispose of construction
materials resulting from minor home renovations, repairs, and projects that generate types of
waste not currently accepted by the City’s collection programs. These items include lumber,
sheetrock, tile, shingles, and other common building materials. The Super Bag pilot program will
allow residents to purchase the use of a Super Bag from the Solid Waste department for a fee,
which includes collection and disposal. Customers may purchase a Super Bag, fill it at their
convenience, and schedule a collection by calling the City’s Customer Call Center. The Super
Bag will be collected from the customer’s property adjacent to the curb. The Super Bag offers
residents an affordable option to properly dispose of construction materials and should help
reduce illegal dumping and blight within the city.
Prior to adding Super Bags as a permanent service, a pilot program will determine if the new
service is viable and needed. The following information will be obtained during the six-month pilot
program:

ALTERNATIVES:
Residents may continue hauling waste generated from home projects to the J.C. Elliott
Collection Center for no charge or pay a contractor to haul the waste for a fee.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The charge for the Super Bag was established to completely offset the cost of the bag, disposal,
labor, equipment fuel and administrative costs. There should be no fiscal impact.

Resolution to revise City Council Policies regarding Rules of Decorum.
SUMMARY:
Staff is recommending several revisions to the Rules of Decorum for the following reasons: 1) to
comply with recent changes to the Open Meetings Act; 2) to better adhere with the First
Amendment, and 3) to eliminate redundant language.

the City Council at an open meeting. Additionally, the provisions in the Rules of Decorum related
to political advertisements need to be updated to adhere to case law regarding First Amendment
speech. The proposed revisions to the Rules of Decorum address these issues.

to establish new Construction Trade Advisory & Appeals Board in place of the Building Code
Board of Appeals, Electrical Advisory Board and Mechanical/Plumbing Advisory Board; to delete
City Code sections regarding inactive City boards namely the Citizens Committee for
Community Improvement and the Coastal Bend Manpower Planning Council; to delete
duplicative City Code sections regarding general provisions for City boards that are addressed
in City Council Policies; and declaring an emergency.
SUMMARY:
The Resolution revises City Council policies for City Boards, ad hoc committees, and task forces.
The Ordinance modifies various board-related provisions, creates a new Construction Trade
Advisory & Appeals Board in place of other boards, and deletes inactive boards.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
In December 2019, City Council approved Phase 1 of a review to gauge the efficiency and
effectiveness of the Advisory Boards and Committees; make recommendations on elimination,
continuation, and/or reorganization of boards; and identify areas of weakness in a board’s
operations and recommend solutions for improvement. Fifteen Advisory Boards were eliminated,
and one new board created. This resulted in 14 remaining Advisory Boards (reduced from 28).
Phase 2 of the review is now complete. This phase evaluated:
“More Than Advisory Boards” -- those with some authority or a quasi-judicial nature; and,
City Council board-related policies in comparison to other cities.
Phase 2 recommendations are:
1) To eliminate the Electrical Advisory Board and Mechanical/Plumbing Board; and, move
the functions into the Building Code Board of Appeals to be renamed the “Construction
Trade Advisory & Appeal Board”; and,
2) Strengthen and formalize Board and Commission administrative provisions, member and

board requirements, including future sunset review. Further, these:
formalize the ability to create and dissolve Ad Hoc/task force committees;
promote more effective recruitment and vacancy rates;
enhance effective training of board members and liaisons;
provide for more effective reporting by means of the Annual Review Report and
formal submittal of recommendations via resolution.
SUMMARY:
Phases 1 and 2 resulted in the elimination of 17 out of 42 boards (with one new one for Senior
Corps). This leaves 26 remaining boards -- thereby increasing the efficiency and effectiveness
of the City Boards and meeting the overall goal of the review.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternative would be to not amend or partially amend the City Code.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A savings of $6,000 is estimated for staff and support costs by Development Services having six
fewer board meetings (due to the elimination of the Electrical and Mechanical/Plumbing Boards
and merger of functions into Building Code Board of Appeals to be renamed the “Construction
Trade Advisory & Appeal Board”).

submitted any specific plans concerning the proposed group home for drug and alcohol treatment.
The applicant is a faith-based recovery program. The persons in the program will be on-site
residents. There will be 5-6 full-time staff members on-site to monitor the residents. The office
hours will be Monday-Friday 8 am to 5 pm.

Staff Summary:
Requested Zoning: The applicant is requesting a rezoning from the “CG-2” General
Commercial District to the “IL” Light Industrial District to allow for the operation of a group
home for drug and alcohol treatment.
Development Plan: The subject property is 0.14 acres in size. The applicant has not
submitted any specific plans concerning the proposed group home for drug and alcohol
treatment. The applicant is a faith based recovery program. The persons in the program
will be on-site residents. There will be 5-6 full-time staff members on-site to monitor the
residents. The office hours will be Monday-Friday 8 am to 5 pm.
Existing Land Uses & Zoning: The subject property is currently zoned “CG-2” General
Commercial District and consists of an office building constructed in 1942. To the north
and south are professional office buildings zoned “CG-2” General Commercial District.
To the east is a retail store (Office Depot) zoned “CI” Intensive Commercial District. To
the west is Metro Elementary School of Design (CCISD) zoned “RS-TF” Two-Family
District.
AICUZ: The subject property is not located in one of the Navy’s Air Installation
Compatibility Use Zones (AICUZ).
Plat Status: The property is platted.
Utilities:
Water: 8-inch ACP line located along South Brownlee Boulevard.
Wastewater: 8-inch VCP line located along South Brownlee Boulevard.

Storm Water: 42-inch located along South Brownlee Boulevard.
Plan CC & Area Development Plan Consistency: The subject property is located within
the boundaries of the Midtown Area Development Plan and is planned for commercial

Staff Report
Page 3
• Promote a balanced mix of land uses to accommodate continuous growth and
promote the proper location of land uses based on compatibility, locational
needs, and characteristics of each use (Future Land Use, Zoning, and Urban
Design Policy Statement 1).
Department Comments:
• The proposed rezoning to the “IL” Light Industrial District is inconsistent with the
adopted Comprehensive Plan (Plan CC). However, the proposed use is compatible
with the adjoining properties and does not have a negative impact.
• The “IL” Light Industrial District allows uses such as heavy vehicle repair,
warehousing, waste-related services, open storage, and bars which are incompatible
with the surrounding properties. A Special Permit (SP) will provide the ability to locate
the treatment facility on the subject property.
Planning Commission and Staff Recommendation (January 22, 2020):
Denial of the change of zoning from the “CG-2” General Commercial District to the “IL”
Light Industrial District, in lieu thereof, approval of the “CG-2/SP” General Commercial
District with a Special Permit (SP) with the following conditions.
1. Uses: The only uses authorized by this Special Permit other than uses permitted
in the base zoning district is a group home for drug and alcohol treatment.
2. Security: The facility located on the Property shall be monitored by facility staff
at all times.
3. Time Limit: In accordance with the UDC, this Special Permit shall be deemed to
have expired within 12 months of this ordinance unless a complete building
permit application has been submitted, and the Special Permit shall expire if the
allowed use is discontinued for more than six consecutive months.
