After Staff's presentation, Chairman Baugh opened the public hearing. The following individuals expressed opposition to New Plat item "3". Robert Gerlach at 3834 Lynda Lee Drive David Gerlach at 581 Yorktown Boulevard Daniel Gohlke at 500 Yorktown Boulevard Lenora Gohlke at 500 Yorktown Boulevard Sharon Gohlke at 500 Yorktown Boulevard Joe Kramer at 1820 Waldron Road Jean & Jim Blakesley at 517 Yorktown Boulevard Mr. Stallworth proceeded to read into record the following written comments submitted expressing opposition and a written petition (attached): Vicki Davis, no address given (comment attached) Kristen Wilkerson at 3849 Casa Blanca Court (comment attached) Lydia Tardif at 3850 Casa Blanca Court (comment attached) Darlene Cockrill at 501 Yorktown Boulevard (comment attached) The main issues of concern expressed from the above individuals were flood ing/stormwater drainage; the proposed development does not fit with the character of the surrounding zoning (too dense); the proposed development is counter to the City's Area Development Plan and is within an Accident Potential Zone (Joint Land Use Study) of Naval Air Station -Waldron Field. With no one else coming forward, the public hearing was closed and the floor was opened for Commissioner comments/questions. It was confirmed by Andrew Dimas, Development Services Administrator, that the subject property has been zoned "RS-6" Single-Family Residential district (approximately 7 units/acre) since annexation of Flour Bluff in 1961; the owner is entitled by right for that land use for their proposed development. Another area-wide, City initiated, rezoning took place in 1983 when the original Flour Bluff Area Development Plan was adopted. Staff informed the Commission of the surrounding zoning district patterns: "RS-6", "FR" Farm Rural and "RE" Residential City of Corpus Christi Page 2 Printed on 712612021 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes July 21,2021 Estate. In past annexation processes, it was typical to zone land for a residential use instead of applying the "FR" district as the City does today. Mr. Dimas explained that using the JLUS as a tool for a City initiated rezoning can be done but may be difficult as it can negatively impact property owners by limiting their rights guaranteed by an original zoning district. The Navy customarily recommends a maximum density of 2 units/acre.or less. Discussion also took place regarding the Technical Review Committee and the review/approval process of public improvement plans (Stormwater Quality Management Plans). It was noted by Assistant City Attorney, Buck Brice, plats which meet legal code requirements are automatically approved after 30 days by operation of Chapter 212, Texas Local Government Code; Planning Commission consideration serves as an administrative function apart from recommendations for rezoning cases. After discussion concluded, Vice Chairman Dibble made a motion to approve items "4, 5, 6, 7 & 8" and it was seconded by Commissioner Miller. The motion passed. A motion was made by Vice Chairman Dibble to approve item "3" and it was seconded by Chairman Baugh. The motion did not pass with Commissioners Zarghouni, Miller and Salazar-Garza voting "no" and Commissioner York was absent during the vote. No further action was taken for item "3" as no other motions were presented. A.

Our home is located on the corner of Casa Blanca Ct. and Yorktown Blvd. — directly across from the proposed Yorktown Heights subdivision. I am concerned about the application to plat 9.158 acres to construct 48 single family structures (Item 3 Case 21 PL.1051) Most families in the vicinity selected their homes based on the existing neighborhoods — larger lots, minimal traffic, proximity to coastline, and connection with nature (land, trees, shorebirds, coastal wildlife). The proposed subdivision will compromise the integrity of surrounding neighborhoods. Increased traffic from 48 additional homes in the limited space will impact the condition of adjacent roads. In addition, proposed changes do not appear to align with the Flour Bluff Area Development Pian (ADP) approved June 22, 2021. "The proposed subdivision appears to fall in a Low-Density Residential area as described in the ADP. Please take time to thoughtfully consider the impact on the surrounding Flour Bluff families. ��4 �jy�iraG4 J f PUBLIC COMMENT/INPUT FORM City of Corpus Christi This form is not for City Council.

Yorktown Heights. Zone RS-6 [ [WARNING: External e-mail.Avoid clicking on links or attachments. We will NEVER ask for a password, username, payment or to take action from an email. When in doubt, please forward to SecurityAlert@cctexas.com. ] ] I am protesting the above planning to build 48 new houses directly across Yorktown from my residence at 3850 Casa BlancaCourt. My husband had our house built because of the space &quietness it provided us as we retired. Now,this new development is totally from our guidelines that we had to adhere to(ie: minimum of 2,000 sq. Ft home. What has changed,there has not been any NOTICE for zoning change. It appears to myself and our neighborhood as well as other properties that our quietness will now be a thing of the past as well as cluttering our area so that a developer can squeeze as many houses as possible to line their pockets. I'm sure that the developer does not live in a crowded area like what they are wanting to develop at the cost of congested traffic on the 2 lane road on Yorktown. When did the guidelines change? Did the City planning group do their job and investigate what was already in place and whether or not this squeezed in development is allowed in the MVR construction company's & City of C.C. Guidelines with the military, similar properties, etc. Will our taxes be adjusted in accordance with the square footage -that the MVR company is charging?
