UDC/State Law and the Technical Review Committee recommends approval.
Craig Garrison, Development Services, read New Zoning items"12, 13& 14"
into the record. Staff recommends approval for these items as stated in Staffs
report. After Staff's presentation,Chairman Baugh opened the floor for
Commissioner comments/questions. Commissioner Zarghouni asked if New
Plat item"7" requested a waiver for wastewater construction. Ms.
Nixon-Mendez clarified that item "7"does not require a wastewater waiver
because it is not within a wastewater master plan. Commissioner Miller asked
if item "7"will be seeking annexation. Ms. Nixon-Mendez stated if sewer lines
are extended then annexation would need to be requested,especially if the
trust fund is utilized. It was also noted that the half-acre lots can utilize septic
systems.
After Commissioner questions concluded, Chairman Baugh opened the public
hearing. Mr. Garrison proceeded to read into the record the public notification
or public comment forms that were submitted for New Zoning items "12, 13&
14". For item"12", a public notification form was received from D&E
Development at 1038 Hilly Country Road. They are in favor of the rezoning
request and stated it will stimulate development in an area that has remained
undeveloped.
For item "13",a public notification form was received from Sergio Galvez at
15009 Harbor View Drive,stating opposition with no rationale. Also for item
"13", a public notification form was received from Deanna Stevens at 4517
Clearwater Drive, stating opposition: "Please keep the zoning Single Family
Residential in accordance with the Goals and Strategies in Plan CC's Vision for
Housing &Neighborhoods. Quality of life and safe, quiet, residential
neighborhoods are a cornerstone to successful communities. There are
numerous commercial/retail/office properties currently located across the
street along the southwest and southeast corners of Saratoga and Everhart to
support business growth."
For item"14", a public notification form was received from Gene Di Russo at
4525 Clearwater Drive,stating opposition. He stated that an increase in traffic
will cause safety issues for children in the area. He also cited loss of privacy
due to the proposed three story building.
For item"14", a public notification form was submitted by Royce and Heather
Hallock at 6417 Swansea, stating opposition.They stated "this rezoning
application it not in alignment with our City's Comprehensive Plan, it is not in
alignment with the Southside Area Development Plan and it is not in
alignment with the Country Club Estates deed; it is not in the best interest of
our established neighborhood."
It was noted that the City does not have the purview to enforce deed
restrictions.Commissioner Schroeder questioned the alignment with the
Southside Area Development Plan for item"14". Mr.Garrison stated the
proposed rezoning is partially consistent with the adopted Comprehensive
Plan(Plan CC)and warrants an amendment to the Future Land Use Map.
Other policies include encouraging orderly growth of new residential,
commercial, and industrial areas; promoting a balanced mix of land uses to
accommodate continuous growth and promote the proper location of land uses
City of Corpus Christi Page 2 Printed on 1/7/2021
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes December 9, 2020
based on compatibility/locational needs.Staff felt that the"ON"district is a
good transitional district and is compatible with the adjoining residential
properties; the"ON"district limits retail uses. Unified Development Code
requirements for the rezoning request were also discussed with regard to
height limitations.
With no further public comment to be read into the record, Chairman Baugh
closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Commissioner Schroeder to
approve Staff's recommendation as presented for item"13" and it was
seconded by Vice Chairman Dibble.The motion passed with Commissioner

Mr. Garrison read item "15" into the record as shown above.The purpose of
the rezoning request is to allow for the development of a high-end, RV resort
community. For location purposes, he presented several aerial views of the
subject property along with the Existing and Future Land Use maps. He went
over the history of zoning patterns,existing land uses and UDC requirements
for the rezoning(buffer yard/setbacks,etc.)as well as available municipal
facilities.
He informed the Commission that of the 67 public notices that were mailed,
zero notices were returned in favor of the change of zoning request and 25
notices were returned in favor. He noted that there were twenty-one notices
returned in opposition by one property owner. Percentage of opposition is over
the 20%threshold and will require a 3/4 majority approval vote by City Council.
Staff recommends approval of the change of zoning request..
City of Corpus Christi Page 5 Printed on 1/7/2021
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes December 9, 2020
After Staffs presentation, Chairman Baugh opened the floor for Commissioner
comments/questions. Discussion took place regarding the notices of opposition
from adjacent properties.After discussion concluded, Chairman Baugh opened
the public hearing.
Mr. Garrison proceeded to read into record the public notification or public
comment forms that were submitted for item"15".A statement of opposition
was received from John D. Bell, representing Admirals' Row Condominiums
Council of Co-Owners which represents the owners of the property
immediately south of the proposed development: "Although the southern
neighbors to this tract technically are zoned RM-AT,the properties actually are
developed as single-family residences. Such a development would create
tremendously high density in this area that essentially is bordered by single
family subdivisions.Additionally, State Highway 361 at this location has limited
width and lanes. The existing roadway is inadequate to handle this type of
density, particularly with motor homes and large recreational vehicles.Vehicle
stacking on the highway would create severe traffic issues. If the City elects to
proceed with rezoning for the proposed project, it should be as a Special
Permit with several critical conditions."
Mr. Garrison informed the Commission that a petition was submitted to the City
consisting of 181 signatures from property owner's outside of the notification
area.The petition states: "The condos, commercial condos and beach home
subdivisions along the SH 361 corridor from Corpus Christi to Port Aransas are
the lands highest and best use;the present use of these properties reflects that
value. Changing the use to RV lots will reduce surrounding property values
and the yearly tax base. This will be a step backward for the City of Corpus
Christi. Granting the rezoning request will negate all the progress which has
been made in recent years as well as the next few years."
A public notification form from Turnkey Construction of San Antonio,Texas,
stating opposition.They cited safety concerns due to hurricanes,
incompatibility with the surrounding area and a significant change from the
original zoning district.
A public notification form from Clint and Danielle Tucker at 1738 Ramfield
Road,stating opposition because of decreased property values.
A call-in request was made by Carl Badalich and Mr. Garrison proceeded with
the phone call (opposed owner of the 21 properties previously mentioned
above). He felt that the proposed development negatively affects adjacent
properties, is incompatible with the surrounding area and will not create a
significant increase in the City's tax base; it does not benefit hotel/motel taxes.
He also cited hurricane concerns with respect to evacuation issues on the
island.
A public comment form was returned in favor by Richard Yates at 162 La
Concha Boulevard: "This property is directly behind our house,which means it
controls the view we have from our two back decks.We have reviewed the
planned project and are satisfied that it will be a good addition to the area."
A public comment form was returned in favor by Ron Hollenbeck and Kelly
Lamson at 162 La Concha Boulevard#16: "We feel the development will add
exceptional value to the local economy by bringing in high net-worth guests
City of Corpus Christi Page 6 Printed on 1/7/2021
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes December 9, 2020
who will undoubtedly want to stay for long periods of time. We feel that the
central part of the island has been underdeveloped and this will likely attract
other quality developers and amenities to the area."
At this point in the public hearing, Michael Congdon, representing the
applicant of this rezoning case,gave a brief presentation in support of the
rezoning request. He said the purpose of the presentation is to give people a
better idea (renderings) of what the project will entail because it is not a
"trailer park" as some have described it to be. The resort will be a gated
community,which will include approximately 144 oversized RV sites and
accessory uses,such as a community center, a golf cart-friendly boardwalk to
the beach,a large swimming pool/splash pad, a putting green, pickle ball
courts,dog park and 22 acres of manicured and tropically landscaped
grounds. He mentioned the design is by an award-winning RV resort designer
with 25 years and 650 projects worth of experience. He provided a layout/site
plan of the project and clarified there will be 15 beach front homes constructed
in the existing "RM-AT" district. He also presented information on the economic
impact of the proposed development to refute assumptions regarding property
taxes. He said some homes will generate a hotel occupancy tax,a sales tax
will be generated on rentals/market good,and close to$9 million tourism
dollars(gross annually)will be generated.The development(and taxes)will
begin in 2021, compared to the Bella Vista and La Concha developments
which began over 12 years ago and are only 21-27%sold and/or developed. He
finished his presentation by stating that the goal of the project is to provide
tranquility and comfort to the modern RV'er and be great neighbors
celebrating the Mustang Island community.
With no further public comment to be read into record, Chairman Baugh
closed the public hearing.A motion was made by Chairman Baugh to approve
Staffs recommendation as presented.The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Miller.A roll call vote took place and the motion passed
unanimously.

Request for a Plat Waiver for construction to the Street Right-of-Way
Dimensional Standards in Section 8.2.1.B with all related infrastructure
(Water, Wastewater, Storm water and Sidewalks).
City of Corpus Christi Page 7 Printed on 1/7/2021
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes December 9, 2020
Ms. Nixon-Mendez presented items"16& 17"for the record.She presented a
location map and an aerial view of the subject property.The land is zoned
"RS-6"Single-Family 6 District.The site is currently vacant and the owner
proposes to develop a single-family home on a .53-acre lot.
The City is requesting a 28-foot street section width with a 4-ft.sidewalk.The
plat(Flour Bluff Gardens, Block 4, Lot 15R)will provide an additional 5-foot
dedication to meet the standard 50-foot right-of-way width for Dove Lane.
Currently, Dove Lane does not exist and is considered a "Paper Street".The
original subdivision plat was approved by the Nueces County Commissioners
and recorded in 1947.The subdivision plat provided street dedication for the
layout of the subdivision, but many streets were ultimately not completed and
constructed by the developer.
Ms. Nixon-Mendez continued the presentation citing the applicants factors in
support of not requiring the street with curb, gutter and sidewalk:
1.The proposed street is considered a "Paper Street"since the plat of the
subdivision that indicates Dove Lane was filed and recorded on July 16, 1947.
2. Only one adjacent property owner would benefit from the street.
3.There are no existing sidewalks anywhere in the vicinity of the subject
property and therefore constructing a sidewalk would serve no purpose.
4.The area is not located along an existing or foreseeably planned CCRTA
service route.
5.The Comprehensive Plan will not be substantially affected.
6. Not providing the street will not be a detriment to the public health,safety,
or general welfare within or adjacent to the subdivision.
7.The property is not along a road on the Mobility Plan (Map H4)or ADA
Master Plan.
Factors weighing against the waiver and in support of requiring street:
1.The property is in the "RS-6" Single-Family 6 District and is a corner lot from
which a street and sidewalk network can be continued for future development
of single-family homes down Dove Lane.
2.The crossroad is Don Patricio Road,designated as Collector street on the
Urban Transportation Plan (UTP). Dove Lane, if constructed,would tie two
Collector Roads,the other being Graham Road to the north, where the north
portion of Dove Lane is developed.
3.A 1,300 linear-foot section of Dove Lane was constructed south of Graham
Road.This construction would start the road development from the south and
could encourage infill development of the subdivision.
4.The approval of the requested waiver will put extra burden on the additional
lots which must have access to Dove Lane,they will end up constructing more
of Dove Lane than their fair share.
5.There is a serviceable Wastewater manhole at 6.75 ft depth at the street
corner that can be utilized to extend to a new Wastewater manhole at the
property's north frontage along Dove Lane.
6.To avoid unfeasible construction cost for looped water line, a 100 ft water
line extension with Fire Hydrant can be considered to meet water
infrastructure requirement for Dove Lane.
7.The developer can opt to not replat,and build on one of the platted lots, if
they do not want to install the required infrastructure along Dove Lane.

Planning Commission Meeting Minutes December 9, 2020
Ms. Nixon-Mendez informed the Commission that the applicant provided a cost
estimate for construction.The estimate for the 28-foot street section is$113,
708; half-street construction estimate is $56,854.Section 3.8.3.D of the UDC
provides factors to consider plat waivers, and states that the need for the
waiver shall be demonstrated to the Planning Commission's satisfaction; the
waiver may be approved,approved with conditions, or denied.Staff
recommends denial of the waiver from construction of Dove Lane to the Local
Street Standards in Section 8.2.1.B. of the UDC along with all related
infrastructure.
After Staffs presentation, Chairman Baugh opened the floor for Commissioner
comments/questions. Discussion took place regarding the location of possible
driveway/street cut permits.Staff stated the permits would be allowed if the
waiver is approved;the access would be on Don Patricio Road. Discussion also
took place regarding adjacent property owners and the property owners on the
opposite side of Dove Lane and how the waiver could impact them.
Commissioner Miller felt it should not be the sole responsibility of the applicant
to construct the full section of the street and Commissioner York concurred.
After discussion concluded, Chairman Baugh opened the public hearing.
Owner of the subject property,Josh Gonzalez,addressed the Commission in
support of the waiver. He mentioned he was not aware that replatting his
property would entail the construction of public improvements. He pointed out
that his physical address is on Don Patricio Road and not Dove Lane; he has
access to utilities and an existing driveway from Don Patricio Road. He
reiterated that there are no existing side walks in the vicinity. He said that
requiring these public improvements is cost prohibitive. Renee Gonazalez also
addressed the Commission in support of the waiver(no address given).
Murf Hudson,engineer of record for the applicant,addressed the Commission
in support of the waiver request. He reiterated that the original subdivision plat
was approved by the Nueces County Commissioners and recorded in 1947; the
City annexed this area in 1961.The City should participate in street
construction and the burden should not be placed on the property owner. He
also mentioned a similar waiver on Don Patricio road was previously approved
by the Planning Commission earlier this year. He felt that requiring full
participation from the property owner essentially makes this area
undevelopable.
With no further comments, Chairman Baugh closed the public hearing.A
motion was made by Commissioner Miller to approve New Plat item "16"and
also approve the waiver request for item"17". The motion was seconded by
Commissioner York and the motion passed.

To facilitate development and redevelopment, policy changes include
removing zero lot line development, providing density bonuses for low impact
development/improved parking and encouraging alternatives to demolition for
historic properties by extending the allowed maximum number of days;
providing an exemption for existing non-conforming lots to remain
non-conforming after a natural disaster or when utilizing local, State or
Federal funding for the reconstruction or rehabilitation
Ms. Dodd-Wallace informed the Commission that in 2021, Development
Services will work with internal and external stakeholders to move forward
with discussion/consideration for the following amendments: Park and
Community Enrichment fees,traffic signal placement, restructuring zoning
districts, landscaping,streets,wastewater exemption and signs.
Lastly, Ms. Dodd-Wallace described the amount of outreach that has taken
place. The Development Services Technical Advisory Group was created to vet
proposed amendments and provide agreeable amendments to be considered
for adoption.The group consists of representatives from Planning Commission,
Residential and Commercial Builders, Property Owner Association, Insurance
and Real Estate Industry and various design professionals. They held meetings
in March,June,August and September. Additional stakeholder outreach
