Mayor Sizemore called the Special Meeting to order in the Council Chamber of City Hall,
and stated the purpose of the meeting was to hold scheduled public hearings on zoning applications

from "R -IB" One -family Dwelling District to "B-4" General Business District on the east 200 feet
of Lot 8, Block H, Flour Bluff Estates, located north of the 10600 Block of South Padre Island
Drive. He explained that the request was heard by the Planning Commission May 9, 1972, and
forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that it be approved as a logical extension of
the "B-4" zoning to the south fronting on South Padre Island Drive, and that the Staff concurred
in this recommendation.
No one appeared in opposition to the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Stark, and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Branch and passed, that Application #572-1, Mary Ella
Cocke, be approved as recommended by the Zoning and Planning Commission and that an
ordinance be brought forward effectuating the change,
Mayor Sizemore presented Application #572-2, Evelyn B. Collins, for change of zoning

Ellendale Gardens Annex, located in the 4500 Block on the south side of Up River Road and west
of Country Club Drive at Interstate Highway #37. He explained that the request was heard by the
Planning Commission May 9, 1972, and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that it
be approved because there has been a definite change in the character of the area with the Freeway
going through this part of the City. He stated the Staff's recommendation, based on a study that

was prepared for this area that the property in question not be zoned "A -I" but would be more
suitable for "R-2" on the basis that it would be a higher density than the existing single-family
zoning yet not the density of "A -I" Apartment House District.
No one appeared in opposition to the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Mr. Harold Hoelscher, realtor, spoke on behalf of the applicant and stated the
proposed apartment complex would serve as a good buffer between the apartments and single-
family dwellings.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Lozano and passed, that application #572-2, Evelyn B .
Collins, be approved as recommended by the Planning Commission, and that an ordinance be
brought forward effectuating the change.
Mayor Sizemore presented Application #572-3, Donald V. Kingsbury, for change of
zoning from "R -IB" One -family Dwelling District to "A -I" Apartment House District, on a
portion of Lots 1 & 2, Bancroft -Dodge Farm Lots, located in the 4100 Block of Poth Lane, He
explained that the request was heard by the Planning Commission May 9, 1972, and forwarded to
the Council with the recommendation that it be denied, but in lieu thereof "R-2" Two-family
Dwelling District be approved. He stated the Planning Staff did not share this recommendation
based on the foot that Poth Lane is a very narrow street, 21 feet in width, there are no curbs and
gutters, the buildings would face residential uses to the west, and the Staff study of this general
area indicates that the property should remain single-family zoned.
No one appeared in opposition to the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Stark and passed, that the hearing be closed,
Motion by Gonzales, seconded by Lozano and passed that the recommendation of the
Planning Commission be concurred in and that an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the
Special Permit in lieu of the Foregoing requested zoning,
Mayor Sizemore presented Application #572-4, William 5. Hopkins, for change of
zoning from "AB" Professional Office District to "B -I" Neighborhood Business District, on all of
Lot 4, Block 25, Windsor Park, Unit #4, located in the 4500 Block of South Staples Street. He
explained that the request had been heard by the Planning Commission May 9, 1972, and forwarded

to the City Council with the recommendation that it be approved as a logical buffer between the
apartments adjacent to the north and the "B-4" uses to the south; that it was the Staff's opinion that
changes of zoning should not be granted purely on the basisof increasing the height of a sign or its
size.
No one appeared in opposition to the recommendation of the planning Commission.
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Bonniwell and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by Bosquez, seconded by Lozano and passed, that Application #572-4,
William 5. Hopkins, be approved as recommended by the Zoning and Planning Commission and that
an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the change.

east 1/2 of Lot 5, Ave Cooper Subdivision, located on the north side of the 4400 Block of Kostoryz
Road. He explained that the request was heard by the Planning Commission May 9, 1972, and
forwarded to the City Council with the recommendation that it be approved on the basis that there
has been adequate change in the area. He stated that the Planning Commission concurred in this
recommendation.
No one appeared in opposition to the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Bonniwell and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Bosquez and passed, that Application #527-5, John H.

Motion by Lozano, seconded by Stark and passed, that Application 0572-6, Anita
Neyland, be approved as recommended by the Planning Commission, and that an ordinance be brought
forward effectuating the change.
Mayor Sizemore announced the public hearing on the proposed amendment to the Text
of the Zoning Ordinance, Article 28, Large Scale Developments (PUD - The Community Unit Plan),
by repealing all of its present Sections and substituting therefor new Sections. (A copy of this
proposal is attached hereto and made a part of these Minutes by reference Marked Exhibit "A".)
Capt. J. T. Acuff, Chairman of the Planning Commission, presented the proposed
amendments in detail, commenting that the proposal had been under consideration and study for
over a year by the Commission, and a final draft of the ordinance had been approved by the
Commission on June 6, 1972, Following a review by the City Attorney, and that minor modifica-
tions had been made since the review by the City Attorney. He stated that the Commission now
recommends the immediate passage of this ordinance so as to provide an additional tool for the
modern development of the City. (A copy of the ordinance, as approved by the Planning Commis-
sion, is attached hereto and made a part of these Minutes by reference, marked Exhibit "B".)
Capt. Acuff explained that the Planned Unit Development concept allows for more
flexibility in layout and design, provides a more creative approach to the development and
efficient use of the land, and does not set out space requirements included in standard subdivisions.
He stated, if approved by the Council, it will replace the present Community Unit Plan under
which Village on Green was developed. He explained that the ordinance will provide for two
types of developments, PUD I, which would be more restrictive and would require height limita-
tions as is now required in residential areas, and lot sizes would have to meet the Federal Housing
Administration standards; and PUD 2 would require the same zoning procedures but that all zoning
restrictions would not be in effect. He pointed out that the Council would have final authority to
approve or disapprove the plan. He stated that both plans, rather than having large individual
yard areas, a larger tract would be left for open space for community use, and that this space would
also be for the general public; that the net result would be lower cost to the homeowner and more
freedom to the developer and his architect in the way a particular section of land is developed.
He pointed that PUD is a new concept, but has been adopted in Dallas, San Antonio, and Brownsville;
• •

that members of the Planning Commission have conferred with officials of these Cities on numerous
occasions and feel that this City should give the concept a trial.
Planning Director, William Anderson, made a slide presentation illustrating Planned
Unit Development subdivisions as compared to The standard type subdivisions with normal areas and
space requirements. He stated the slides were provided by the Association of Home Builders. Mr.
Anderson illustrated the general street patterns, comparing one with the other; pointed out that the
PUD plan reduces the linear feet of streets and utilities, reduces the number of intersections and
street frontage, thus reducing the cost to the individual consumer. He described and compared the
open space areas, stating that the clustering arrangement of the buildings leaves more space for
recreational areas, and provides for greater density but with more liveability at a lower cost. He
emphasized that, in PUD 2, where zoning restrictions are relaxed, the Building Code as to water
lines and fire hydrants, etc., would be complied with, and that the Council would have to approve
or disapprove the plan when submitted.
A lengthy discussion followed during which time Capt. Acuff and the Planning Staff
were questioned by the City Manager and the Council relative to the various aspects of the concept,
and as to how it would differ from the standard type subdivision.
Other members of the Planning Commission present in support of the amendment were
Mr. Ralph Durden and Mr. Chas. Cartwright.
Mr. Jack Solka commended the Commission and the Staff for the time and efforts
spent on the draft of the proposal, and hoped the Council would adopt the plan as presented.
Mr, Gene Urban, of Urban Engineering, Mr. Roger Seaman, and Mr. Joe Williams,
concurred with Mr. Solka that the Commission and the Staff be commended and that the amendments
should be adopted.
No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing proposed Text Amendments.
Mayor Sizemore commented that there are many problems involved, but that it is
something that is needed. He stated that the ordinance would be placed on a three reading basis,
urged those who are interested to be on hand for each reading, and invited suggestions for revisions.
Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Stark and passed, that the ordinance, as presented
by the Planning Commission, be brought forward for first reading at this time, with the understanding

•
SECTION 3. The following new Article 28 shall hereafter read as
follows:
"ARTICLE 28. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS.
Section 28-1 Scope and Purpose.
(1) It is the intent of this article to encourage unified design
of residential housing, commercial, office, professional, retail, and insti-
tutional areas. and facilities, or combinations thereof, to provide for re-
lated developments having harmony of design and variety of function, thrust-
ing, in some appreciable degree, toward a self-sustaining enclave within the
City, and to provide for a greater flexibility in the design of buildings,
yards, courts, and circulation, than would otherwise be possible through the
application of existing rules and regulations of the City Zoning and Platting
Ordinances. It is further the intent of this article to provide for:
(a) A maximum choice in the types of environment and
living units available to the public.
(b) An integration of open space and recreation areas
with residential development.
(c) A pattern of development which preserves trees,
outstanding natural topography, and geologic fea-
tures.
(d) A creative approach to the use of land and related
physical development.
(e) An efficient use of land resulting in smaller net-
works of utilities and streets and thereby lower
housing and maintenance costs, without material,
adverse -impact on public costs.
(f)
(g)
An environment of stable character in harmony with
surrounding development.
The development of vacant property within the pre-
sently developed urban area.
(h) The redevelopment of property where desirable by
providing flexibility in redesign.
- 2 -
(1) The production of a higher level of amenities.
The plannedunit development concept is a recognition that
at times greater quality of development can be achieved by permitting modi-
fication of established zoning and subdivision regulations and that when
property is planned and developed as a unit, modification to standard regu-
lations is possible without endangering the health, safety bnd general wel-
fare of the public.
(2) In keeping with the spirit of the planned unit development
concept and to accomplish the above stated objectives this article will
provide for two types of planned unit developments, to be hereby designated as
PUD -1 and PUD -2, i.e. Planned Unit Development 1 and Planned Unit Develop-
ment 2.
(3) It is intended that PUD -1 conform as closely as possible to
established zoning and subdivision regulations while still permitting flexi-
bility of design to make planned unit development desirable for normal de-
velopment situations including but not limited to combined uses.
(4) A PUD -2 is a new zoning district or an overlay, as a district,
upon an existing district or districts, as hereinafter prescribed, and pos-
sessing features differentiated in Section 28-3. Definitions (j) hereof.
PUD -2 is envisioned as a tool under which zoning and subdi-
vision regulations would be subject to modification as necessary to solve
specific land development problems and to implement special development con-
cepts.
Section 28-2 Applicability and Limitations.
(a) Development as PUD -1 or PUD -2 may be permitted for residen-
tial purposes in the following zoning districts of the City: R -1B, R-2,
•
A-1, and A-2. Such developments for commercial, professional, or business
purposes may be permi.tted in the following zoning districts of the City:
AB, B-1, AT, B-3, and B-4, excluding Subsections 5 and 12 uses therefrom,
as defined in the City Zoning Ordinance, and the B-5 greenhouse use, only.
On natural water frontage within the corporate limits of the City a Planned
Unit Development District may be overlaid in all or part of a B-2 District,
and may include therein all the aforestated residential districts and the
said commercial, professional, or business districts. Due to the nature,
character and locations of B-3 Districts within the City, it is further
provided that a PUD -1 or PUD -2 District, as hereinafter defined, may be
overlaid in all or part of such B-3 District. The nature of a PUD envi-
sions minor alterations of the existing rules and regulations in estab-
lished zoning districts. It is the intent that these alterations be held
to a minimum.
In the case of a PUD -2 overlay, such parts of the established
district or districts in which it is overlaid shall, after the effective
date of the ordinance approving such PUD -2 application, shall be governed
entirely by the provisions of such PUD -2 District application approval and
the City zoning map shall be immediately amended to show the new, supplant-
ing district.
Accessory and public institutional uses may be permitted in either
PUD -1 or PUD -2 consistent with applicable ordinances.
Consistent with applicable ordinances, a PUD -1 and PUD -2 may be
embraced in one integrated project.
(b) Utilization of PUD -1 is at the option of the developer (and
to be in substantial conformity with the regulations of established City
zoning districts.)
- 4 -
(c) Utilization of PUD -2 will require delineation of a PUD -2
area by the City Council and the promulgation of special rules and regu-
lations by ordinance consistent with this ordinance.
Section 28-3 Definitions.
(a) 'Common Area' shall mean a parcel or parcels of land, or
an area of water, or a combination of land and water, and/or developed
facilities including but not limited to areas for vehicular and pedestrian
access and recreational facilities within the site designated for a planned
unit development, and designed and intended for the use or enjoyment of
occupants of the planned unit development. Common areas may contain such
complementary structures and improvements as are necessary and appropriate
for the benefit and enjoyment of the occupants of the planned unit develop-
ment.
(b) 'Floor Area' shall mean all indoor area except garages, heat-
ing and/or cooling plants, and common use facilities.
(c) 'Land Use Intensity (LUI)' shall mean the overall structural -
mass and open space relationship in a developed property. It correlates the
amount of floor area, open space, livability space, and recreation space of
a property with the size of the site. Land use intensity relates to density
but is more inclusive in its coverage of planning factors.
(d) 'Landowner'shallmean the true legal or beneficial owner or
owners of all of the land proposed to be included in a planned unit develop-
ment. The holder of an option or contract to purchase, a lessee having a
remaining term of not less than forty years, or other person having an en-
forceable proprietary interest in such land, shall be deemed to be a land
owner for the purpose of this article.
- 5 -
(e) 'Livability Space' shall mean all outdoor space other than
roads, drives or parking and shall include an area devoted to recreation.
(f) 'Open Space' shall mean all uncovered outdoor area includ-
ing parking spaces or areas, lawns, patios, and recreation areas, as well
as usable roofs, terraces, pavilions, and uncovered balconies. One half
of the area of all roofed porches, carports and other covered open areas
not used for generally regular, public, pedestrian and vehicular traffic
may also be counted as open space. Areas within a site subject to flood
or otherwise unusable for building may be included as open space.
(g) 'Plan of Development' shall mean the proposal for develop-
ment including such drawings, documents, and other information necessary
to illustrate completely the proposed development. The plan of development
shall specifically include such information as required by Section 28-5(c)
of this Article.
(h) 'Planned Unit Development' shall mean: (1) an area of land
of not less than five (5) acres, controlled by a land owner, or land owners
acting in concert, to be developed as a single entity, the plan for which
does not necessarily correspond directly to the regulations in any one zon-
ing district established by other articles of the zoning ordinance; (2) to
be developed in one continuous, ascertainable phase or in a definitely pro-
grammed and calendared series of development operations; (3) embracing
principal and accessory structures and uses substantially related to the
character of the district or districts, in PUD -1, and, to the character
and purpose of the development, as to both PUD -1 and PUD -2, as hereinafter
defined; (4) a development to be made, after approval of the herein pro-
vided preliminary plan, according to comprehensive, detailed plans, includ-
ing streets, utilities, lots and building sites, and related items, and
- 6 -
site plans, floor plans, elevations for all buildings as intended to be lo-
cated, constructed, used, and related to .each other, and detailed plans for
other uses and improvements on the land as related to the buildings; and
(5) a development prescribing for the provision, operation, and mainte-
nance of such areas, buildings, structures, improvements, facilities, and
services as will he for use in commonalty by some or all of the occupants,
tenants and for owners within the PUD, either at general expense to the
deveroper, his successors or assigns, or by assessments to an owners' and/or
tenants' association, or both methods. A planned unit development may in-
clude, but does not require, individual ownership of units, structures, or
property. Common areas, however, which relate to and serve the individual
occupants, are mandatory.
(i) 'PUD -l' shall mean a Planned Unit Development which substan-
tially complies with the use regulations, overall density, character of
development, and other minima and maxima as defined by standard zoning dis-
tricts but which allows a greater degree of flexibility in layout and de-
sign hereunder than would be possible under the said standard zoning and
subdivision requirements.
(j) 'PUD -2' shall mean a Planned Unit Development which because
of special development considerations, or particular planning applications,
will have the flexibility necessary to permit major modification of regula-
tions defined by standard zoning or subdivision practice. It does not sub-
stantially comply with the City Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, as does a
Ph -1, in that it is characterized by one or all or a combination of the
following:
7 -
(1) One (1) or more uses inconsistent with uses permitted
within a given zoning district are proposed in the PUD -2;
(2) Densities of population in ratio to floor area pro-
jected exceed that permitted by the City Comprehen-
sive Zoning Ordinance;
(3) One (1) or more material elements of the proposed de-
velopment are violative, otherwise, of the City Plat-
ting Ordinance or the City Zoning Ordinance.
(k) 'Recreation Space' shall mean that portion of the livability
space developed specifically for active or passive recreation. It may be
public or non-public and may include quiet sitting areas, formal and informal
sports fields, tot lots, court games, and outdoor pools. Any roofed struc-
ture which is essentially a non-public, common open area may also be included,
such as indoor -outdoor pools, gazebos, and pavilions.
PIM- 1
Section 28-4. Minimum Requirements.
(a) Size. A Planned Unit Development district may be authorized
on sites of 5 acres or more to accommodate various types of developments and
combinations of the development authorized by this ordinance.
(b) Permitted Uses. A Planned Unit Development district may be
approved for single-family dwellings, two-family dwellings or multiple dwell-
ings of all types (see Article 3, Definitions) and the usual accessory uses
such as parking facilities, storage space and various community activities,
including recreational centers, churches and schools. A PUD -1 may also en-
compass several zones or zoning districts, provided however, that the uses
permitted in each zone are limited to the boundaries of that zone.
In addition a PUD -1 developed as residential may include personal
service and retail businesses intended to serve the residents of the develop-
meat only. However, documentation shall be required to prove that the types
and amounts of these additional uses can be supported within the development.
(c) Density, For all residential Planned Unit Developments this
ordinance will utilize the Federal Housing Administration's Land Use Inten-
sity Ratings, to be referred to hereafter as (LUI), to establish maximum
areas. The ratings used are based on typical unit sizes, as established
by FHA guidelines, definitions and practices, and the existing densities for
the various districts as required in other sections of the City Zoning Ordi-
nance. The ratios, ratings and corresponding floor area ratios are as follows:
Maximum Floor Area Open Space Recreation Livability
District Units/Acre DUI ,Ratio Ratio Space Ratio Space Ratio
R -1A 4 4.0 .200 3.8 .18 2.6
R -1B 7 4.2 .230 3.3 .17 2.2
R-2 14 4.5 .283 2.6 .15 1.7
A-1 21 5.3 .492 1.5 .12 .84
A-2 34 6.0 .800 .85 .10 .50
The density of all non-residential Planned Unit Developments shall
be governed by the height, peripheral yard requirements, and site development
criteria hereinafter stated.
It will be further necessary for the applicant to affirmatively
show that any PUD proposed will not adversely and materially affect the pub-
lic health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the City and property,
public or private, along its perimeter and within at least 200 feet of the
enclosing property lines thereof, including the existing or planned streets,
alleys, other existing improvements, and vacant land, and the nature, extent
and uses of such streets, alleys, other existing improvements, and vacant
land, shall be thus considered as to the impact on surrounding private prop-
erties, public areas and facilities, and the inhabitants and users thereof.
(d) Heights and Peripheral Yard Requirements.
(1) height. All structures shall not exceed a maximum height of
three (3) stories or 35'. However, any portion of a building
may be erected to exceed the height limit specified provided
that such portion is set back from the required side and rear
yards one foot for each two feet of height in excess of the
3 stories or 35'.
(2) Yards Abutting Street. All structures adjacent to a public
street shall be a minimum of 25' from the nearest right-of-
way line of said street except where a greater setback is
required by the subdivision regulations for major thorough-
fares. The 25' setback requirement may be waived by action
of the City Council in the event that the applicant estab-
lishes that no traffic hazard will be created by such waiver.
(3) Yards Abutting Existing Developments. All structures adja-
cent to the property line of an existing residential develop-
ment, alley or easement, shall have the same yard requirements
as for the adjacent yard in the existing development.
(4) Yards Abutting Vacant Property. All structures adjacent to
the property line of a vacant area, shall be a minimum of 5'
from the property line.
(e) Interior Site Requirements.
(1) Residential Developments - Open Space, Livability Space, Rec-
reation Space. Por all residential developments the (LUI)
ratings established in Section 28-4(c) shall be used to
determine the open space, livability space and recreation
space ratios.
(2) Minimum Lot Requirements. An individual lot for each struc-
ture is not required, but individual lots may be provided at
the developer's option. There is no minimum area requirement
for lots, consistent with the density ratio fixed in (e) 1.
above, and lot boundaries may coincide with structure bound-
aries if desired. If individual lots are provided there shall
lie no requirement that the lot front a public street.
(3)
Vehicular Access and Internal Circulation. (A) Curb cuts
shall be limited to the minimum necessary to provide adequate
ingress and egress to the planned unit development. Curb cuts
- 10 -
•
shall be located so as to provide a minimum of conflict
between the planned unit development traffic and the traf-
fic on the adjacent streets. (0) Internal vehicular cir-
culation may be on private streets owned and maintained by
the corporation, association, or other legal entity as es-
tablished in Sec. 28-4 (g) of this Article. However, the
Planning Commission may recommend and the City Council re-
quire dedication of R.O.W. and/or construction of paving
for a public street or streets through or into the planned
unit development as the Planning Commission and City Council
deems necessary. The width and location of the streets shall
besufficient to provide adequate capacity for the anticipated
traffic volumes and to provide suitable access for emergency
vehicles. (C) Along the principal street, or streets, if
there be more than one, of the development, i.e., that con-
necting one part of a perimeter thereof abutting on a public
sidewalk or street to another part of some other perimeter
thereof abutting on a public sidewalk or street, private
ownership and maintenance, without any liability whatsoever
to the City of Corpus Christi, may be permitted if the de-
veloper and owner or owners' covenants, by proper instrument,
approved by the City Attorney, duly recorded, to, and does,
convey unconditionally and forever to the City public ease-
ments for ingress, egress, and utilities, on the private side-
walks, and in the private streets.
(4) Parking Requirements. There shall be a minimum of two (2)
paved off-street parking spaces for every dwelling unit in
all residential developments. For all non-residential de-
velopments the minimum parking requirements will be as spe-
cified in Section 22-1 of the Zoning Ordinance. Parking in
both residential and non-residential areas shall be conve-
nient to all dwelling units or other uses and where appro-
priate, common driveways, parking areas, walks and steps
shall be provided, maintained and lighted for night use.
Screening of parking and service areas may be required
through ample use of trees, shrubs, hedges and screening
walls. Garages or carports shall be considered as parking
spaces in order to meet this requirement.
Pedestrian Access. Adequate sidewalks shall be provided
for complete pedestrian circulations throughout the entire
planned unit developments.
(6) Building Spacing. Minimum distance between buildings shall
be 10' except for common wall construction.
(5)
(f)
Subdivision Design Standards. The uniqueness of each pro-
posal for a planned unit development requires that certain standard require-
ments be modified to permit the flexibility necessary to accomplish the
desired development. In the event of conflict, therefore, between the pro-
visions of this Article and the provisions of any other code or ordinance of
the City, the provisions of this article shall prevail, except as to a pro-
vision of the City Building Code.
(g) Common Area Control. All common area shall be conveyed by
conveying title (including beneficial ownership) to a corporation, associa-
tion or other legal entity. The terms of such instrument of conveyance must
include provisions, approved by the Planning Commission and City Council, for
guaranteeing (1) the continued use of such land for the intended purposes;
(2) continuity of property maintenance for those portions of the common area
requiring maintenance; (3) when appropriate, the availability of funds re-
quired for such maintenance; (4) adequate insurance protection; and (5) re-
covery for loss sustained by casualty or by condemnation.
For planned unit developments the Federal Housing Administration's
'Suggested Legal Documents for Planned Unit Developments' may be used as a
model for the establishment, continuance and operation of a Homes Associa-
tion ,to meet the above stated requirements. If different forms are used,
each such form must xeceive approval by the City Attorney prior to Commis-
sion and Council consideration for which the said documents shall be his
guidelines.
Section 28-5. Procedure.
(a) Zoning - Two copies of a zoning diagram at a scale of 1"=S0'
illustrating the existing zoning and land use of the subject property and
the existing zoning and land use of all property adjacent within not less
than 200 feet to the subject property shall be submitted to the Director of
Planning at the time a plan of development for a PUD -1 project is submitted.

house and apartment, etc., and such surrounding area.
(b) Platting - The property proposed for PUD -1 shall be platted
as required by the then applicable subdivision regulations of the City or
the provisions of this article, if there be irreconcilable conflict. The
plan"of development must be approved prior to or at the same time as the
plat. In the event that the property is properly platted prior to prepara-
tion of a plan of development, replatting may be required to insure the
compatibility of the plat with the plan.
(c) Plan of Development - To utilize the provisions of this
Article ten (10) copies of a proposed plan of development accompanied by
processing fees, under the following table, shall be submitted to the
Director of Planning.
TABLE OF PROCESSING FEES
Up to 5 acres

ing designation of the total number of units and/or
habitable improvements to be placed within each de-
lineated area or space.
- 13 -
(2) Locations, amounts and types of non-residential uses
within the arca proposed to be developed. In the
event that these non-residential uses are of the type
intended to serve only the residents of the PUD, doc-
umentation shall be attached as specified in Section
28-4(b) of this Article.
(3) (a) The size, location, and connections of all vehi-
cular and pedestrian access points to the PUD. (b)

width, and type of paving proposed for all vehicular
movement areas. (d) The pattern, width and construc-
tion type of paving for all sidewalks and other pedes-
trian movement areas. (e) All proposed screening
and/or lighting of parking, and other areas, shall
also be illustrated.
The plan of development shall also include at an appropriate scale
or in some appropriate form, as determined within the guidelines of this Ordi-
nance and the City Zoning and Platting Ordinance by the Director of Planning
as to 1. hrereof and by the City Attorney as to 2. hereof, the following:
(1) A plot plan showing contours and elevations.
(2) The required legal documents as specified in Sec-
tion 28-4(g) of this Article. Included as part
of these documents shall be proof of the financial
responsibility of the established entity to main-
tain the common area as required in Section 28-4
(g) of this Article. The required legal documents
will include deed restrictions and common and party -
wall agreements.
(3) In the event that the PUD is to be developed in
stages or phases a staging plan with estimated times
of development is to be included es part of the plan
of development.
(d) Review - It is recommended that the proposed Plan. of Develop-
mgnt be reviewed informally with the Director of Planning prior to prepara-
tion and submission of the required 10 copies. In any event, however, the
Director of Planning shall upon receipt of the 10 copies of the proposed
plan of development distribute one or more of the copies to various City
- 14 -
departments and/or other agencies as directed by the City Manager. The
departments and/or other agencies receiving copies of the proposed Plan
of Development shall, within 30 days of receipt of the plan, submit, in
writing, to the City Manager and the Director of Planning their recom-
mended approval, disapproval and/or comments of or about the plan, stat-
ing reasons.
(e) Approval - No later than 45 days after submission of the
Plan of Development the Director of Planning shall submit the plan with
his recommendation and the comments received from other City departments
and/or other agencies to the Planning Commission for consideration.
The City Planning Commission, after receipt of such plan, may
approve the plan submitted, amend and approve the plan as amended, or
disapprove the plan. If approved, the plan with amendments, if any, shall
be stamped, 'Approved Planned Unit Development' and be signed by the Chair-
man of the Planning Commission. The Commission shall finally act on such
plan and application within twenty-one (21) days after submission and close
(adjournment) of public hearing thereon.
(f) Recording of the Approved Plan - Following approval by the
City Council, one copy of the approved plan shall be submitted to the Build-
ing Inspection Division of Public Works Department for use in issuing build-
ing permits. In addition other copies of the approved plan shall be sup-
plied as directed by the City Manager to other departments and agencies.
(g) Change in the Plan - After favorable action by the Planning
Commission minor alterations to the plan that do not affect platting, the
general character, or overall design of the plan and not exceeding three
(3) percent of the gross, probable, present fair market value, 'as built'
- 15 -
per approved plan, may be approved by the Director of Planning. Alterations
exceeding said three (3) per cent shall be re -submitted for review by the
Planning Commission following the same procedure required in the original
adoption of the plan. The Director of Planning shall interpret what con-
stitutes a substantial alteration in the plan.
(h) Time Limit - The construction of the planned unit develop-
ment shall be started within one (1).7ear or 365 consecutive days of the
effective date of approval of the plan by the Commission. The Planning
Commission inay, no sooner than 60 days prior to the end of the. time period,
upon request of the developer, extend the time one (1) additional year if,
in the judgment of the Commission, additional time is warranted. In any
event, construction must be started within two (2) years of the effective
date of approval. Failure to begin the development within the one-year
period or the period as extended shall automatically void the plan of de-
velopment by operation of law and no building permit shall then be issued
until the plan or an amended plan has been resubmitted and properly ap-
proved by the Commission.
It shall be the duty of the Director of Planning to maintain a
complete, current file of all approved Planned Unit Developments on a
tickler system in order that every plan not commenced by construction
within the said one (1) year be docketed for Commission notification no
later than the Commission's regular meeting immediately preceding the expiry
of the plan approval.

PUD - 2
Section 28-6. Minimum Requirements.
(a) Size. The size of a PUD -2 will be determined by the City
Council at the time of delineation of the area.
(b) Permitted Uses. A PUD -2 may include any mixture of com-
patible uses under the terms and conditions of this Ordinance. Compati-
bility of use as determined by the City Council shall establish a pre-
sumption of such compatibility.
(c) Densis. Density shall be regulated in terms of inten-
sity of uses expressed by floor area ratios. The relationship between
uses, and the overall floor area ratio allowable shall be determined by
character considerations and the capacity of the surrounding environment
to absorb the intensity in terms of load on the transportation system,
and other public facilities. The City Council reserves the right to im-
pose density limitations on particular geographical areas of the city,
but in all cases the burden of proof shall be on the developer to show
that existing or proposed facilities can handle the requested intensity.
(d) Height and Peripheral Yard Requirements.
(1) Height. The City Council may set special height
limitations as it deems necessary.
(2) Peripheral yard requirements. In all cases the
peripheral yard requirements shall be at least
as restrictive as the requirements of a PUD -1
development as established in Section 28-4(d)
of this Article. Depending on the intensity and
uses proposed for a PUD -2 development and its
relationship to the surrounding arca, the City
Council may require greater building setbacks
for any peripheral yard, and screen walls, hedges,
shrubs and trees as deemed necessary and appropri-
ate for preservation of the character of the sur-
rounding arca.
- 17 -
•
(e) Open Space, Livability Space, Recreation Space. Ratios of
the types established by the Land Use Intensity rating (LUI) hereinbefore
stated, for residential areas shall represent the norm and significant
deviation, as determined by the City Council, from these ratios shall be
documented to justify the acceptability of the proposal, subject to the
wisdom of the City Council.
(f) Other Minimum Requirements. All other minimum requirements
for a PUD -2 development shall be the same as those requirements established
for PUD -1 development in Section 28-4(e), (f), and (g) of this Article.
The City Council may, however, alter the requirements if the applicant -
developer offers substantial evidence of material frustration of the plan
of development otherwise made and submitted in accordance with this Ordi-
nance. In no case, however, shall the requirements for common area control
be altered or waived.
The City Council may impose any conditions, terms, or limitations
it finds needful for the protection and promotion of the public health,
safety, morals and welfare of the City in accordance with this Ordinance
and the law of the Clty and the State of Texas.
Section 28-7. Procedure.
(a) Pre -application Conference. Prior to submission of a formal
application for a PUD -2, the developer shall confer with the Director of
Planning concerning the proposal.
(b) Zoning. The zoning classification required for a PUD -2 de-
velopment shall be the zoning district permitting the predominant use as
proposed in the PUD -2 plan of development unless the City Council deter-
mines that the conditions to warrant overlay and rezoning for a PUD -2
- 18 -
•
District exist, as described in,Section 28-2. Applicability and Limitation.
The predominant use shall be determined on the basis of floor area. Proper
zoning, obtained as specified in Section 28-5(a) of this Article, shall be
a pre -requisite to tentative approval.
(c) Application for Tentative Approval. All provisions relative
to administrative processing of a PUD -1 plan of developments apply.
(d) Public Hearing.. The City Council shall, after hearing, (1)
grant tentative approval of the plan as submitted, (2) grant tentative
approval subject to specified conditions not included in the plan as sub-
mitted, or (3) deny tentative approval of the plan.
(e) Application for Final Approval. Application for final ap-
proval may be made concurrently with tentative approval or within one year
thereafter. The application shall be submitted to the Director of Planning,
accompanied by processing fee as applicable from the Table of Processing
Fees provided for PUD -1 plans. The provisions of Article 28-5 hereof, ex-
cept as irreconcilably conflictive with this Article 28-7, shall govern
PUD -2 plan processing, administration, and review.
The final plan of development shall include any changes, altera-
tions, additions or deletions requested by the City Council in its grant
of tentative approval.
Upon receipt of the application for final approval the PUD -2
shall be reviewed, approved or disapproved and recorded, also as specified
in Section 28-5(d) through (h) of this Article."
SECTION 4. Except as expressly or by necessary implication re-
pealed or amended by the terms of this ordinance, all other provisions of
- 19 -
the City of Corpus Christi Zoning Ordinance, and all other ordinances, are
hereby kept and maintained in full force and effect.
SECTION 5. Every finally approved Planned Unit Development shall,
thereby, become a part of the official City of Corpus Christi Zoning Map.
Changes and corrections, however, granted by the Director of Planning need
not be officially mapped.
SECTION 6. Any person, firm or corporation violating the terms
and provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction, shall be fined a minimum fine of $50.00 per offense
for immediate collection, unless State law expressly requires otherwise.
SECTION 7. Publication shall be made one time in the official
publication of the City of Corpus Christi, by publishing the caption and
penalty clause and proposed effective date prior to final passage.
SECTION 8. This ordinance shall become effective on
, 1972,
SECTION 9. If for any reason any section, paragraph, subdivision,
clause, phrase, word, or provision of this ordinance shall be held invalid
or unconstitutionally final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
it shall not affect any other section, paragraph, subdivision, clause,
phrase, word, or provision of this ordinance, for it is the definite in-
tent of this City Council what every section, paragraph, subdivision, clause,
phrase, word, or provision hereof be given full force and effect for its pur-
pose.

It is the intent of this article to encourage unified
•design of housing,.commercal, industrial, or institutional areas
and facilities, or combinations thereof, to provide for related
developments having harmony of design and variety of function,
and to provide for a greater flexibility in the design of build-
ings, yards, cburts, and circulation, than would otherwise be pos-
sible through the strict application of standard regulations.
is further the intent of this article to provide for:
(a) A maximum choice in the types of •
environment and living units avail-
able to the public.
•
(b) An integration of open space and
recreation areas with residential
development.
(c) A pattern of development which
preserves trees, outstanding natural
topography, and geologic features;
(d) A creative approach to theuse of
)and and related physical developmpnt.
An efficient use of land resulting
in smaller networks of utilities and
streets and thereby.lower housing
and maintenance costs.

The planned unit development concept is a recognition
that at times greater quality of development can be achieved by
permitting modification of established zoning and subdivision
regulationsand that when property is planned and developed as a
unit, modification to standard regulations is possible without
endangering the health, safety and general welfare of the public.
In keeping with the spirit of the planned unit develop-
ment concept and to accomplish the above stated objectives this
• article will provide for two types of planned unit developments
PUD 1 and PUD 2.
. It is intended that. PUD -1 conform as closely as possible
10 established zoning and subdivision regulations while still.
-permitting maximum flexibility of design to make planned unit
development as desirable as possible for all normal development
situations.
PUD -2 is envisioned as a tool under which zoning and sub-
.. division regulations would bo subject to modification as necessary
to solve specific land development problems and to implement
special development concepts.

Definitions) and the usw31accessory uses such
as parking facilities, storage space, and vari-
ous community activities, including recreational
centers: churches and schools.
(b) Utilization of PUD -1 is at thn option of the
developer. • •
• (c) Utilisation of PUD -2 will require delineation
of a PUD -2 area bythe City Council.
