MANNING ACRES LOT 1 R AND LOT 2- 9.816 ACRES OCL
Located on Yorktown Boulevard, west of Flour Bluff Drive.
Mr. Dimas, read New Plat items "8" into the record. The plat satisfies all requirements of
the UDC/State Law and the Technical Review Committee (TRC) recommends approval.
After Staffs presentation, the public hearing was opened. There being none, the public
hearing was closed. A motion was made by Commissioner York to approve item "8" and

9. 21-1593 21 PL1102 -WASTEWATER
MANNING ACRES LOT 1 R & LOT 2 (9.816 ACRES-OCL)
Located on Yorktown Boulevard, west of Flour Bluff Drive.
Mr. Dimas presented item "9" for the record as shown above. For location purposes, he
presented an aerial map of the subject property along with a map detailing the
wastewater connection to the Master Plan (Laguna Madre WWTP ). The proposed plat is
not "reasonably accessible" to a public wastewater facility. The nearest Master Plan
connection point is a manhole on Flour Bluff Drive, approximately 11,400 linear feet (2.16
miles) from the Manning Acres property on Yorktown Boulevard. He also displayed a
wastewater construction estimate provided by the applicant totaling approximately
$3,000,000.00.
Mr. Dimas briefly went over platting requirements to construct wastewater lines/facilities
per UDC Sections 3.30.1.A, 8.1.4 and 8.2.7; Section 3.8.3.D of the UDC lists the factors
to be considered in whether to grant a waiver from a platting requirement. Staff finds that
the property has previously paid the lot/acreage fee and is exempt on this replatting for
the payment of lot/acreage fees. Staff recommends approval of the request for waiver of
wastewater infrastructure construction. After Staffs presentation, the public hearing was
opened. There being none, the public hearing was closed. A motion was made by
Commissioner Schroeder to approve the waiver request and it was seconded by Vice
Chairman Dibble. The motion passed.
10. 21-1611 21 PL1102 -SIDEWALK
MANNING ACRES LOT 1 R & LOT 2 (9.816 ACRES-OCL)
Located on Yorktown Boulevard, west of Flour Bluff Drive.
Mr. Dimas presented item "10" for the record as shown above. Section 3.30.1 and 8.1.4
of the UDC require construction of sidewalk as part of the platting process. The UDC
also states, under§8.2.2.8.1, that a waiver may be granted, in accordance with the
procedures outlined in §3.8.3.D. None of the enumerated conditions in UDC 3.8.3.D for a
sidewalk waiver exist on this subject property. Further UDC Section 8.2.2.0 allows for
Administrative Exemptions for sidewalk construction for residential lots that meet certain
provisions; however, since the property is along an Arterial street on the Urban
Transportation Plan; the property does not qualify for an exception. He proceeded to
City of Corpus Christi Page 3 Printed on 121912021
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 10,2021
outline the factors in support and against the waiver.
The applicant states that they do not believe sidewalk should be required because:
1. There are not sidewalks along the street along the adjacent properties.
2. The property is not located along an existing or foreseeably planned CCRTA fixed
route service.
3. Waiver of sidewalk will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or general
welfare.
4. The Comprehensive Plan will not be substantially affected.
5. Waiver of sidewalk will not affect the adjacent Property in a manner to restrict or render
feasible.
Factors against the waiver and in support of requiring sidewalk construction:
1. The property is along an Arterial street on the Urban Transportation Plan requiring a 5'
sidewalk on each frontage of the street.
2. The Strategic Plan for Active Mobility has a designated One-way Cycle track for each
frontage. Therefore, granting of the waiver will affect the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The nearest sidewalk connection is approximately 1,200 feet west in the Oso George
Village residential subdivision off of Roscher Road.
4. Unplatted and undeveloped property in the area provides an opportunity to extend the
sidewalk in the future.
Staff recommends denial of the waiver from the sidewalk construction requirement.
Planning Commission may choose to follow or decline Staff's recommendation, and
Planning Commission may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the waiver request.
After Staffs presentation, the public hearing was opened. There being none, the public
hearing was closed. A motion was made by Commissioner Miller to deny the sidewalk
waiver and it was seconded by Commissioner York. The motion passed.
D. Unified Development Code Text Amendment
11. 21-1613 Ordinance adopting text amendments to the Unified Development Code (UDC)
to include the review of the latest adopted Air Installation Compatibility Use Zone
(AICUZ) Maps during a change of zoning request.
Mr. Dimas presented item "11" for the record. He mentioned that a briefing was given to
the Planning Commission on this item on October 27, 2021 and proceeded to go over
some key points from that same presentation. Mr. Dimas stated that a letter of support for
the text amendment was submitted by the Navy. After Staff's presentation, the public
hearing was opened. There being none, the public hearing was closed. A motion was
made by Commissioner York recommending approval for item "11" and it was seconded
by Commissioner Salazar-Garza. The motion passed.
