Pro Tem Bill Tipton COMMISSIONERS: Eduardo de Ases Ruth Gill Bob Gulley Gabe Lozano, Sr. Edward Sample IL - MINUTES City of Corpus Christi, Texas SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING July 9, 1975 3:30 p.m. City Manager R. Marvin Townsend Acting City Attorney Michael May City Secretary Bill G. Read Mayor Pro Tem Tipton called the meeting to order in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, stating the purpose of the Special Meeting was to hold public hearings on zoning applications and any other business as may properly come before the Council. It was noted that a quorum of the Council and required Charter Officers were present to conduct a valid meeting. City Manager Townsend presented Application #575-1, City of Corpus Christi, for change of zoning from "R -1B", One -family Dwelling District, to "1-2" Light Industrial District,on Lot 30, Section 53, Flour Bluff and Encina! Farm and Garden Tracts, located on the east side of Waldron Road 135 feet south of South Bayberry Place. The request was heard by the Planning Commission May 19,1975 and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that it be denied, but in lieu there- of "B-3" Business District be approved, which prohibits residential uses, but does permit less objectionable business uses than the requested zoning. The Planning Staff recom- mended "B-3" zoning because it reduces the unlimited uses allowed in "1-2", yet allows business uses but does not permit any type of residential use. Mr. Jon Held explained that this request was brought about in an effort to cooperate with the Navy and involves approximately 200 acres. He explained that he has no immediate plans for development and cannot commit the entire acreage to specific uses since he is not the sole owner. He stated the recommended "B-3" zoning is acceptable. Mr. M.J. Suehla, 543 South Bayberry, stated he was opposed to the "B-3," because of the uses permitted under this classification. Motion by Lozano, seconded by Sample and passed, that the hearing be closed. Minutes Special Council Meeting July 9, 1975 Page 2 Motion by Lozano, seconded by Gulley and passed, that the recommendation of the Planning Commission be concurred in and Application #575-1, City of Corpus Christi, for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "1-2" Light Industrial District on Lot 30, Section 53, Flour Bluff and Encina!

City Manager Townsend presented Application 0675-2, Theo Benford and Nelda Collins dba Collins Catering, for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "B-4" General Business District on Lots 16,17, 41 and 42, Block 11, Flour Bluff Park, located on the east side of Flour Bluff Drive 420' north of South Padre Island Drive. The application was heard by the Planning Commission June 10, 1975 and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that it be approved. The staff was of the opinion that approval would be an intrusion into this residential area presently zoned and used for single-family residences and duplexes, would commit vacant lots between this property and Padre Island Drive and lots across McDonald Street right of way to the east for business uses, and therefore recommended denial. No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing application. Motion by Lozano, seconded by Gulley and passed, that the hearing be closed.

Farm and Garden Minutes Special Council Meeting July 9, 1975 Page 4 Tracts, located west on Waldron Road north of Purdue Road. The application was heard by the Planning Commission on June 10, 1975 and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that it be approved. The Planning Staff recommended denial on the basis that the existing zoning is in conformance with the proposed plat on those properties, having a very detrimental effect on adjacent residential uses between the two areas. Mr. Townsend reported that three letters had been received in response to notice of this hearing in favor and none in opposition. Mr. Don Bolton, 702 Purdue, spoke in opposition to the request on the basis that the streets were very narrow with open ditches on both sides, and unless this is to be corrected, he is opposed to the change in zoning. Senior City Planner Larry Wenger described the zoning and land use in the surrounding area and explained that the subject property presently vacant was approved as a part of PUD (Planned Unit Development) in 1973, but has since expired according to the time limit provision contained in Article 28, Planned Unit Development of the Zoning Ordinance. No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request. Mr. Herbert Alexander, applicant and owner of the property, spoke in support of his request, stating he was an authority on Planned Unit Development particularly in Flour Bluff. He cited problems which he has experienced with the City in attempting to provide storm sewers. He explained that in 1970 he dedicated a small area on Prudue Road to the City and provided a sewer lift station at a cost of some $30,000 to serve 22 residential lots, but there is some doubt as to the availability of such service for properties included in this project. He stated that with the investment he now has in the land and lift station, he is hopeful he will be able to develop the 170 single-family dwellings sometime in the future and there would be a public demand for the business area as being requested to serve residential development. Motion by Lozano, seconded by Gulley and passed, that the hearing be closed. Motion by Ruth Gill, seconded by Gulley and passed, that the recommendation of the Planning Commission be concurred in and Application #675-6, Herbert Alexander, for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District and "R-2" Multiple Minutes Special Council Meeting July 9, 1975 Page 5 Dwelling District to "A-1" Apartment House District on Tract A and from "R-2" Multiple Dwelling District and "A-1" Apartment House District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District on Tract B, Tract A being a 3 -acre portion and Tract B being a 5 -acre portion and both tracts being out of Lot 9, Section 49, Flour Bluff and Encina) Farm and Garden Tracts, be approved and an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the change.
