Island Strategic Action Committee Meeting Minutes -Draft June 6,2023
Roger Montelongo: Island Mobility Plan, notice to proceed has been approved, working
with consultants to work on engagement plan, will bring back to ISAC once things get
going.
Chair Jay Gardner: Subcommittee meeting and looking at paper streets, what order do
we do those in? Need a consensus to walk down to the TIRZ#2 formal meeting next
Tuesday, 6/13/23.
Heather Hurlbert: No set number for projects, the different buckets have larger numbers
but since it's over a 20-year life, the paper streets on the island are a part of one of those
larger buckets.
Craig Thompson: has staff provided costs for these paper street projects? Should we
provide more projects for the buckets?
Daniel McGinn: we did run some numbers, maps that we created in adopted Island Plan,
high level estimates done with our engineering department.
CT: from a planning perspective, were any of these paper streets needed for the area?
DM: when we went through the ADP process, concern about folks abusing golf cart
roadways, could be overcome with design (Sanddollar specifically), could be another
emergency route, more connectivity when we can get it is good, certainly would like to
have them versus not have them.
Motion by member Craig Thompson to recommend that the TIRZ#2 board prioritize
completing the paper streets as identified in the Padre/Mustang Island Area
Development Plan including Sand Dollar, Crow's Nest, and Palmira.
Second by Charles Duffley.
Passed unanimously.
Motion by Meaghan Furey to ask the TIRZ#2 board to research the option of using the
Whitecap Wastewater Treatment re-use line to water Island parks in an effort to minimize
water usage and promote traffic to the parks.
Second by Craig Thompson.
Passed unanimously.

Island Overlay/UDC Updates
The purpose of the UDC Updates:
City of Corpus Christi Page 3 Printed on 6/27/2023
Island Strategic Action Committee Meeting Minutes -Draft June 6,2023
1. Align with the goals of Corpus Christi Plan CC adopted plans and policies.
2. Modernize the zoning controls.
3. Address reoccurring issues with current zoning standards.
4. Increase user-friendliness.
Nina Nixon-Mendez: Major changes of the UDC in the architectural design section of the
code including styles and color palette. Styles had to be consistent with a list of styles but
was difficult to administer, was too vague. So new design standards have been
proposed for multi-family and commercial. Ex: no blank walls, fenestration designs and
transparency percentages, trying to give a visual unity to the corridors.
NNM: Golf cart spaces were brought up, can we have them as part of the required
parking, allowing for up to 10% of parking can be for golf carts (just on the island), having
one more review by the DS Technical Advisory Group this summer so a public hearing
probably in early fall.
Marvin Jones: would like to create a committee to help DS with the different foundation
levels on the island.
Jay Gardner: yes, subcommittee will consist of Marvin Jones, Roy Coons, Bob Corbett,
and Michael Pittman.
