Mr. Dimas went over the history of zoning patterns; existing land uses for the
surrounding area and UDC requirements for the rezoning as well as available
municipal facilities. He presented a table comparing the proposed PUD
development standards with the UDC standards for the “RM-AT” and “RS-TH”
Districts which noted the deviations being requested by the applicant. He
proceeded to describe the two proposed amendments to the original approved
PUD. The applicant is requesting relief from the maximum building height
limitation of 45 feet and to allow for short term rentals. Staff recommends
approval of the amendment to the existing approved PUD to allow short term
rentals and eliminate the height limitation.
After Staff’s presentation Chairman Crull opened the floor for Commissioner
comments/questions. Chairman Crull suggested that the condition of height
limitation remain but changed to a maximum of 60 feet. Discussion also took
place regarding Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT). After discussion concluded,
Chairman Crull opened the public hearing. With no one coming forward the
public hearing was closed. A motion was made by Commissioner Dibble to
approve Staff’s recommendation for item “16” with an amendment for a
maximum height of 60 feet for any structure on the property. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Hovda and the motion passed with Commissioner
York abstaining.
17.19-1334 Public Hearing - Rezoning Property at or near the 1000 Block of
Sixth Street
Case No. 0819-02 - Fish Pond Development, LLC:
Ordinance rezoning property at or near the 1000 Block of Sixth Street
(located north of Buford Avenue, south of Hancock Avenue, east of
Seventh Street, and west of Fifth Street) from the “RM-3” Multifamily 3
District and “ON” Neighborhood Office District to the “RM-3/PUD”
Multifamily 3 District with a Planned Unit Development.
Mr. Dimas read item “17” into the record as shown above. For location
purposes, he presented several aerial views of the subject property along with
the Existing and Future Land Use maps. The Future Land Use Map designates
the area for mixed use development. The property currently sits on vacant land
and the purpose of the request is to allow for the construction of a 112-unit
senior housing community. The developers recently acquired Sea Gulf
Apartments with the intent to relocate the residents to this proposed
development. Concurrently, the developer is requesting that the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) transfer the Section 8 Contract and
relocate the residents to the new development. He also displayed a master site
plan to illustrate the lot configuration. He informed the Commission that of the
42 public notices that were mailed, two notices were returned in opposition of
the change of zoning request and zero notices were returned in favor.
Mr. Dimas went over the history of zoning patterns; existing land uses for the
surrounding area and UDC requirements for the rezoning as well as available
municipal facilities. He presented a table comparing the proposed PUD
development standards with the UDC standards for the “RM-3” District which
noted the deviations being requested by the applicant. As part of the PUD
submittal, the applicant is requesting a reduction of the required number of
Page 5City of Corpus Christi Printed on 10/3/2019

off-street parking spaces. The current development (Sea Gulf Villa) was
surveyed to determine private vehicle ownership. Of the 116 tenants, only 30
tenants own private vehicles. Therefore, the provided 71 off-street parking
spaces will adequately serve the housing complex. This PUD does not have
any proposed balconies and limited windows that will face the existing
single-family neighborhood to the west. These windows will be proposed as
translucent (light goes through it but objects on the other side can't be seen
clearly). Staff finds that the proposed deviations are acceptable and
recommend approval of the change of zoning with the following conditions:
1. Planned Unit Development Guidelines and Master Site Plan: The Owners
shall develop the Property in accordance with Fish Pond Living at Corpus
Christi Planned Unit Development (PUD) Guidelines and Master Site Plan. The
development of the Property is to consist of a 112- unit senior housing
development.
2. Other Requirements: The PUD conditions listed herein do not preclude
compliance with other applicable UDC and Building and Fire Code
Requirements.
3. Time Limit: This Planned Unit Development (PUD) shall be compliant with
Section 3.5.9. of the Unified Development Code (UDC).
After Staff’s presentation Chairman Crull opened the floor for Commissioner
comments/questions. After discussion concluded, Chairman Crull opened the
public hearing. With no one coming forward the public hearing was closed. A
motion was made by Vice Chairman Baugh to approve Staff’s recommendation
for item “17” as presented. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hovda
and the motion passed.
