SUBDIVISION, BLOCK 1, LOT 1 (FINAL- 15.424 ACRES1 Located east of Crosstown Expressway and west of Ayers Street. 3. 21-0563 21PL1026 LAGUNA ACRES, BLOCK 5, LOT 15B (FINAL REPLAT- .2 ACRES Located south of Home Road and west of Columbia Parkway. 4. 21-0564 21PL1039 LOKEY SUBDIVISION, TRACTS A2-A & A2-B, LOT 4 (FINAL REPLAT-1.72 ACRES Located south of Holly Road and east of Patton Street. 5. 21-0579 20PL1078 -CONDITIONAL KINGS LAKE WEST(PRELIMINARY- 284.00 ACRESI Located south of Weber Road (F 43) and east of CR 43. Mr. Dimas stated the change in ownership affects the conditional approval to no longer consider the portion of the plat that was sold to Mr. Mostaghasi ("save and except"). He explained the following conditional comment throughout the document: The preliminary plat will be approved upon the construction of County Road 43 to the"C1" Collector Street standard which consists of a 60-foot right of way with a 40-foot pavement section or the entering into an agreement to construct the "Cl" Collector Street within the dedicated "AT Arterial Street right-of-way section along the frontage of the plat boundary up to and including connection to FM 43. The"C1" Collector Street section will be required to be completed once 50% of the lots identified in the preliminary plat are developed. Final plats involving phases of the development past the 50% threshold will not be recorded until the"Cl" Collector Street section is completed." Due to the transfer of land, this conditional comment would only apply to the portion owned by Mr. Tamez (25% of the original plat) once the 50%threshold is reached. Therefore, Staff feels an amended preliminary plat should be submitted to only reflect the property owned by Mr. Tamez. Also, the center boulevard must be fully constructed as part of his property (100-foot Right-Of-Way); it would not be beneficial to split the construction of the boulevard in half between the responsibility of two different City of Corpus Christi Page 2 Printed on 5/27/2021 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes May 12,2021 developers. Mr. Dimas mentioned that reaching a determination for the plat is difficult because the design could potentially change for the northern portion. Mr. Dimas told the Commission the plat has the following voting options: table, deny or proceed with the action to"save and except"with conditional approval. If the Commission chooses to table the plat then they would also need to include a statement for the applicant to waive the 30-day statute of approval ("shot-clock"). After Staffs presentation, the floor was opened for Commissioner comments/questions. Discussion took place regarding fire access and the construction of the center boulevard and County Road 43.After discussion concluded, the public hearing was opened. Engineer of record, Jeff Coym, addressed the Commission. He informed the Commission that the sale/contract to Mr. Mostaghasi included the condition that his portion would follow the same design from the original plat; includes the entirety of the center boulevard as his property line. Mr. Coym stated they are amenable to an action to table the plat. Discussion also took place regarding county road construction standards. There being no further public comment, the public hearing was closed. A motion was made by Commissioner Schroeder to table item "5"with the applicant waiving the 30-day statute. The motion was seconded by Vice Chairman Dibble and the motion passed.

Mr. Dimas went over the history of zoning patterns and UDC requirements for the rezoning (buffer yard/setbacks). He also went over available municipal facilities. He informed the Commission that of the 41 public notices that were mailed, zero notices were returned in favor of the change of zoning request and 16 notices were returned in opposition (24.75%). He mentioned that opposed public comments were read into the record at the March 17th meeting and no additional comments were submitted since then (comments were also attached to the Staff report provided). He gave a brief summary of the comments which for the majority consisted of concern for an increase in traffic, noise and density and also an invasion of privacy for adjacent property owners. Mr. Dimas noted that both Ametrine Drive and Slough Road are"C1"collector streets and are designed to funnel traffic. Mr. Dimas proceeded to go over the requested PUD deviations between the"RS-6" and "RS-TH"districts which has been updated since the original submission.As part of the rezoning process, all PUDs are reviewed by the Technical Review Committee (TRC). In response to the comments from TRC, the applicant updated the site design to include increased street yard setbacks. Updates to the street included eliminating on-street parking, identify the street as one-way, and the addition of a sidewalk on one side of the private street. Based on the updates, the proposed PUD is compliant with Section 3.5.4 of the UDC. TRC reviewed the updates to the PUD and recommended approval on April 29th. TRC encourage that on-street parking is prohibited and should be enforced by the Homeowner's Association (HOA). Each lot will have four off-street parking spaces (two in the garage and two in the driveway). Mr. Dimas also presented a master site plan to show the design layout.

After Staffs presentation, the floor was opened for Commissioner comments/questions. City of Corpus Christi Page 4 Printed on 5/27/2021 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes May 12,2021 Commissioner Schroeder asked about the maximum building height and if the development will include two-story units. Commissioner York expressed that a condition be included to specify the minimum setback for the garage door is 20-feet; the setback shall be measured from the right-of-way line on the western side of the private road and from the interior line of the pedestrian easement on the eastern side of the private road.
