City Manager Marvin Townsend announced the public hearing on Application No. C281 -1T Area No. 1, Text Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance: Amend Article 31, Newly Annexed Territory, by amending Section 31-5 by adding thereto one new sub- section to be numbered 31-5.27 setting forth a zoning classification of "1-3" Heavy Industrial District on a described tract of land when annexed to the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, said tract being approximately 15.52 square miles within Nueces County, Texas, outside the City limits of the City of Corpus Christi, gener- ally north of IH -37, west of Corpus Christi Beach, south of the Nueces Bay and the Nueces River, and east of the Allison Treatment Plant. Mr. Townsend stated that both the Planning Commission and the Planning Staff recommend approval. He explained that this is to prezone this area to "1-3" when it is annexed to the City. Mayor Jones commented that this is to reserve this land for industrial use. City Manager Townsend further explained that if someone wants water or sewer service to that land, he must agree to annex and the land will be zoned "1-3." Mayor Jones called for comments from the audience. Mr. Sonny Ewing addressed the Council and stated that he is a resident of Castle River Subdivision and requested that the property from Carbon Plant Road to the sewer plant be excluded from this request. He pointed out that that this is a CROFILMED 'SSP 1-6 SEP 191984 Minutes Special Council Meeting March 4, 1981 Page 2 residential subdivision and the residents feel that this land would act as a buffer between their property and the "1-3" zoned property. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that the City has about 180 acres at the sewer plant site, and there are probably no odor problems emanating from the sewer to the subdivision. Motion by Best that this tract of land owned by the McKinzie family, located between Carbon Plant Road and the Allison Wastewater Treatment Plant, be excluded from the area of request; seconded by Zarsky; and passed unanimously.
