Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 28, 1968 Page 2 Mayor Blackmon announced the nomination of Mr. Rudy Garza for appointment to the Civil Service Board to fill the vacancy created by the expired term of Mr. Clemente Garcia. Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Roberts and passed, that the foregoing nomination of Rudy Garza to the Civil Service Board be approved and confirmed. Mayor Blackmon announced the public hearing on Application #868-12, Sea- brook Development Company and The City of Corpus Christi, for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "A-1" Apartment House District and "B-1" Neighbor - head Business District, on a 11.5 acre portion of Tract 15-D, Paisley Subdivision, and explained the procedure to be followed. Director of Planning William Anderson presented the application and pointed out the location on the zoning and land use map. He explained that the applicant proposes to construct a 166 -unit apartment project on the 11.5 -acre tract of land bounded by McArdle, Orchid, Mansheim and the Crosstown Expressway. He explained that in order to develop this project as planned, the applicant had conferred with the Planning Staff and proposed that the City and Seabrook Development Company exchange two tracts of land, the City property being a small unimproved park area paralleling the Freeway, for a portion of property at Orchid and Mansheim owned by the applicant, and that the Staff's reaction to this proposal had been favorable inasmuch as the location was suitable for a park, more centrally located, and closer to the residential area away from the Freeway, and that the Staff had agreed to recommend the exchange of this property to the City Council in the interest of the City and the general area. Mr. Anderson further explained that the proposed development of the apartment project would be financed under the Federal Housing Act of 1965; that the applicants had employed an outstanding engineering firm to design the project, to make certain that the plan would be acceptable to the City; that the Harland Bartholomew Report had pointed out the need for this type of housing in Corpus Christi and had recommended that this particular tract by used for high density residential. He pointed out that the "A-1" zoning applied for would permit 220 units, and that plan calls for only 166 units, which shows that the applicant are not trying to overcrowd the area. He explained that the Staff had prepared a study of the Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 28, 1968 Page 3 park layout; that the matter was submitted to the Park Board but was rejected because they felt there is not enough park land and recommended purchase of more land in the area to fulfill the need. Mr. Anderson pointed out on the map the existing parks and available park land around Moody High School, Prescott School, Cunningham Junior High School, and the 50 acres around Greenwood Sanitary Land Fill Area. Mr. Anderson stated that at the Commission hearing held on August 20, 1968, 50 letters were mailed out, none received in favor and 15 in opposition, and: that four letters were received in favor at the Commission hearing from people not living in the area; that eight persons appeared at the hearing in favor and five in opposition; that it was the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the request be approved as applied for. City Manager Townsend asked that it be noted that a petition had been received at the hearing containing approximately 300 signatures of persons in opposition; that written objections had been received from ten persons, some of which appear on the petition; that the hearings had been properly published and that property owners had received usual notification. Mr. Townsend stated that the subject property has not been selling as residential land, and stated, in connection with the land across the street owned by the Corpus Christi Independent School District, that whatever action is taken on the zoning request would become a pattern for joint govemment action, and that govemmental agencies should work together. Mr. Franklin Smith, Attorney, representing Seabrook Development Company, appeared and explained that the subject property was purchased from the Corpus Christi Independent School District and prior to planning this project, Seabrook Development Company had discussed with the City Staff the transfer of the park site to a better, more centrally located area for the residents of the neighborhood, and had the encouragement of the City Staff. He stated the land is covered with dense growth of weeds; that the land is only suitable for use as proposed by the applicant. He described the proposed project and stated the apart- ments would be located adjacent to the Crosstown Expressway partially where the City park is now located; stated that the development as proposed is not a "low rent" housing project since the cost of each unit would be in excess of $12,000 and that the average rent would be Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 28, 1968 Page 4 $105 for one bedroom, $125 for two bedroom and $145 to $150 for three bedroom apartments, which is set by the F.H.A. and is a rent supplement program, and comparable to the Federal Housing Project LULAC, Cliff Maus Village, and North Side Manor, all under the 221D-3 Federal Housing Act of 1965. He explained that according to the Harland Bartholomew Report and the City Staff, this is the most desirable location for this type development because of its proximity to schools, streets and utilities, and would provide a housing need in the City which Urban Renewal could not do. He stated that the proposal had been discussed with School (ficials and they advised there would be no problem so far as overcrowding the schools. is concerned. He stated that those who had objections were on the basis of overcrowding the schools, traffic hazards and the low rent aspect, which they feel would devalue the properties. Mr. Smith explained that the development will be a high type project and will be constructed according to the site plan as submitted; that if a buffer zone is needed, the park will serve this purpose; that the land will never be suitable for single family dwellings, and that the multi -family zoning is the highest and only use suitable for the land, will be an asset to the neighborhood; and further pointed out that if the land is allowed to remain vacant, some future council will zone the entire area as industrial or commercial. Mr. Bob Conner, President of the Seabrook Development Company, appeared in support of the request and explained certain features of the project, such as the location of the apartments next to the Freeway and the park area which would serve as a buffer between the surrounding residential areas. He stated that it will be a garden -type project with 30 separate buildings instead of the row -house type development; that the traffic has been planned so that a minimum of traffic flow will be on adjacent residential streets, and described the small shopping area which has been included for the convenience of the tenants with a supermarket, washateria and a service station. Mr. Conner stated that he had discussed the proposed project with Mr. Harris of the Regional Planning Commission, and that it was agreed that Corpus Christi was in need of more of the proposed type housing, and that the area in question, away from the blighted of "Ghetto" area, is ideal for this development. He further stated that the values in the proposed area are in the same price range as proposed development; stated that the land is too valuable for single family residences; and that the • Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 28, 1968 Page 5 tract of land across the Street owned by the School District will ultimately be used as multi- family andindustrial use. Mr. Connor urged favorable action of the Council on the merits of the proposal as being in the public interest. Larry Urban, representing the firm Urban Engineering, spoke in sppport of the proposed development, stating that his firm had a vested interest, but that it is believed that the value of this property does not makeit economically feasible to turn it into single family dwellings; that his firm has provided engineering services for other 221D-3 programs and in so doing, have found that they are far from being low rent type developments; that the buildings that are permitted under F. H.A. are inured for 40 years; are substantial and very'attra'a$h'e, and will definitely not be a slum area. Mr. Ian Naismith, owner of Naismith and Trevino Construction Company, spoke in favor of the request, stating that he does not have a vested interest in the project, but that he had appeared on the request of about 15 of his 200 employees who live in this neighborhood and are in favor of the proposed development. He further stated that he is personally acquainted with Mr. Connor and is certain that he plans to build a quality product. Also stated that he had discussed the proposed development with the School Superintendent Dana Williams and had been advised that the added population would be no problem to the schools. Mr. Jack Solka, Executive Director of the. Community Development Corporation, stated that it is his business to do something about substandard buildings in the community, and that it is his observation that these buildings are of high quality, and the need for this type development is great. He suggested that the Planning Staff make a study of suitable areas in the City for sucti.developments and submit an overall master plan designating suitable locations for the benefit of developers. Mr. Jim Fleming of Givens Realty Company stated he had made a search of available areas and had found the subject location to be ideal; would be putting the land to its highest and best use, and would upgrade the neighborhood. Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 28, 1968 Page 6 Others appearing in favor were Mr. E. H. Trevino, E. R. Bimberg, Mrs. Pat Morris, and three others, unidentified, who spoke in favor of the request. Mr. Smith stated that the applicant had promised to donate $3,000 for park improvements in the area when the project is completed. Mr. Tony Bonilla, attorney representing residents in the area, spoke in opposition, and questioned the authority of the Staff to be a party to such a request. Mr. Bonilla opposed the zoning request on the basis that the LULAC Village Park in this vicinity fulfills the needs for apartment dwellers; that the area is a residential one -family dwelling district with no apartments; that the schools are already overcrowded; that there are other available pieces of property already zoned for business and apartments and that they object to the establish- ment of larger districts; that the granting of the request would lower the value of their homes and constitute a traffic hazard; would constitute "spot zoning"; and that the recommendation of the Park and Recreation Board should be respected. He further stated that the residents feel there is a need for additional playground for the children in the area and that the City should develop land for park purposes; that he had appealed to the Urban and Housing Development in Washington in a letter of which copies were sent to members of the Council and Staff, asking that an immediate investigation of the matter be made and to advise appli- cants that no Federal funds will be available for such a project in view of the existing condi- tions and complaints. Others appearing and voicing objections to the requested zoning change were Mrs. Rudy Gonzales, 1809 Yale; Mr. Richard Barrera, 4833 Orchid; Mrs. R. Trujillo; Mrs. Rod- riquez, 4829 Orchid; Fidel J. Perez, Jr., 4817 Orchid; Manuel! H. Gonzales, 4734 Larkspur; Salvador S. Zuniga, 4837 Orchid; T. M. Dillard, 4841 Orchid; and Manuel G. Fernandez, 037 Orchid. Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the hearing be closed.

ORDINANCE NO. 8997 THIRD READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, ADOPTED ON THE 27TH DAY OF AUGUST, 1937, APPEARING OF RECORD IN VOLUME 9, PAGES 565, ET SEQ, OF THE ORDINANCE AND RESOLUTION RECORDS, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND PARTICULARLY AS AMENDED BY ORDINANCE NO. 6106, AS AMENDED, UPON APPLICATION OF PHARAOH ENTERPRISES LTD., BY AMENDING THE ZONING MAP BY CHANGING THE ZONING ON THREE TRACTS OF LAND LOCATED IN THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, NUBCES COUNTY, TEXAS, AS FOLLOWS: TRACT 1: FROM "R -1B" ONE -FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT TO "B-1" NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT, SAID TRACT BEING AN UNPLATTED PORTION OF APPROXIMATELY 6.7 ACRES OUT OF LOTS 3 AND 4, SECTION 29, FLOUR BLUFF AND ENCINAL FARM AND GARDEN TRACTS; TRACT 2: FROM "R-16" ONE -FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT TO "A -I" APARTMENT HOUSE DISTRICT, SAID TRACT BEING AN UNPLATTED PORTION OF APPROXIMATELY 3.2 ACRES OUT OF LOTS 3 AND 4, SECTION 29, FLOUR BLUFF AND ENCINAL FARM AND GARDEN TRACTS; TRACT 3 : FROM "R -1B" ONE -FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT TO "B-4" GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, SAID TRACT BEING AN UNPLATTED PORTION OF LOTS 2AND 3, SECTION 29, FLOUR BLUFF AND ENCINAL FARM AND GARDEN TRACTS;' ALL OF SAID TRACTS BEING MORE FULLY DESCRIBED HEREINAFTER; KEEPING IN EFFECT ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE EXISTING ORDINANCE, AS AMENDED; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH. Mayor Blackmon gave a brief background leading up to the third and final reading of the foregoing ordinance, stating that a public hearing was held in 1962, at which time proper notices were given property owners to appear and be heard, and that this Council had not deemed it wise to reopen the hearing, but that he had taken it upon himself to place the ordinance on a three reading basis and had given the applicant and protesters the opportunity to be heard, and had invited written communications from the applicant and opponents which have been given consideration. Mayor Blackmon further stated that he did not feel this Council has the authority to undo what another Council has done, and urged the passage of the ordinance on third reading. Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 28, 1968 Page 9 Mr. Pat Morris, representing the opponents, made a continued protest and stated that he did not agree with Mayor Blackmon that residents of the area in question had been given an opportunity to be heard, and further stated that it is his opinion that every time the Council amends an ordinance or existing law, the Council is repealing or changing something some other Council has enacted, and suggested that that reasoning is not in the public interest. Mr. Robert Wells, President of Woodlawn-Haas Civic Organization, stated he had filed a written communication with the Council in protest of passage of the subject ordinance; stated that he felt the Council should not have waived the requirement for filing of the plat, and alleged that Pharaoh Enterprises, Ltd. has already altered their plan; stated that the residents in the area were not aware of the zoning when they purchased their property, and that an ordinary prudent buyer would have assumed the area was zoned for one - family residences. Mr. Wells requested that the Council vote "Nay" on the foregoing ordinance and grant the opponents the privilege of a public hearing. Mr. Jim Ryan, attorney representing the applicant, asked the Council to refer to his remarks made last week when the ordinance was read for the second time, and that he would not be repetitious at this time, but stated that these residents who are voicing opposition at this time live in the subdivision that was developed by the applicant; and that the entire subdivision is part of a comprehensive plan for development; that all major subdividers have a similar situation regarding the filing of a plat before they get the final zoning; and that it is a matter of record that some of the residents bought their property at a lesser price because of the zoning applied for by his client. He stated that the subdivider has relied on the decision of the Council in 1962, and that plans have proceeded exactly as was called for by plans at that time. The foregoing ordinance was read for the third time and passed finally by the following vote: Blackmon, Sizemore, Bradley, McDaniel and Roberts, voting "Aye"; Jimenez and Lozano voting "Nay".
