Mr. Elizondo identified a number of issues that are central to housing in the community and stated that adoption of the comprehensive housing affordability strategy is required in order for the City to continue participating in existing HUD programs and must be in place in order to pursue new initiatives that will be provided as a result of the National Affordable Housing Act. He stated that the document should be considered a living document, stating that it is important that the City incorporate new concepts and ideas as a result of needs that are identified on an ongoing basis and it is extremely important that Minutes Regular Council Meeting October 22, 1991 Page 9 we focus on the concept that we are identifying needs. He stated that it is evident that there is a tremendous amount of need in our community.

Mayor Rhodes opened the public hearing on the following zoning application: 17. Case No. 991-5, Linda Yarborough: A change of zoning from "B-4" General Business District and "A-2" Apartment House District to "I-2" Light Industrial District on Lot 2B and the east 480 feet of Lot 1B, Block 4, Tract 3, J.C. Russell Farm Lots, located along the west side of Flato Road, approximately 600 feet south of Bates Drive. Mayor Rhodes stated that both the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of the recommendation. Planning Director Harvey provided background information and presented a slide presentation showing the existing land use, subject property, adjacent land use and adjacent zoning. Council Member Galindo expressed the opinion that flea market areas tend to degrade the area. He stated that this will create a traffic problem and that he would support a special permit. Mr. Harvey stated that one of the reasons staff is not recommending a special permit at this particular location is that much of the surrounding property is zoned "I-2" or medium industrial which allows for outside storage. He stated that the Zoning Ordinance specifies that a flea market is supposed to be in an "I-2" zoning district. He stated that the applicant has indicated that more parking than is required by the zoning regulations will be provided. Mr. Harvey responded to a series of questions dealing with parking and a fencing requirement. Council Member Martin noted that the applicant can put in any "1-2" use on the property. He questioned why a special permit was not recommended, and Mr. Harvey stated that the land use plan calls for it to be industrial and does not mention flea markets, Minutes Regular Council Meeting October 22, 1991 Page 10 stating that in the zoning analysis, staff tried to address the problems that are commonly found with flea markets. Mr. Martin expressed concern about the parking and asked if more parking can be required, and Mr. Harvey stated that the Council could initiate a text amendment to require more parking. Responding to a question from Council Member Galindo, Mr. Harvey stated that they have the opportunity to provide sufficient parking on site, noting that if parking is a problem on public streets, "No Parking" signs can be installed. He indicated that if the Council does not feel that the zoning regulations are going to require enough parking, a special permit can be considered to increase that parking. Mr. Richard Shockey, representing the applicant, Linda Yarborough, stated that their goal is to put in a first class flea market and the reason they are requesting "1-2" is because of the parking. Ms. Yarbourgh showed a preliminary drawing of the property, and Mr. Shockey responded to questions from the Council. Council Member Martin asked if they would object to a special permit, and Mr. Shockey stated that they would rather have the "I-2" zoning so they could use the property for another use at a later time. He stated that he did not see any reason why the property should not be zoned "I-2", stating that the property north and south of this property is zoned "I-2." Council Member Moss moved to close the public hearing; seconded by Council Member McNichols and passed unanimously by those present and voting. Council Member Galindo made a motion to direct staff to bring back a special permit to allow the flea market. The motion was seconded by Council Member Martin and passed by the following vote: Galindo, Longoria, Martin, and Moss voting, "Aye"; Rhodes, McComb and McNichols voting, "No"; Guerrero absent at the time the vote was taken; Slavik absent.

Mayor Rhodes stated that both the Planning Commission and staff recommend denial of the "I-2" Light Industrial District, and in lieu thereof, recommend approval of a Special Council Permit for an amusement park subject to five conditions. Planning Director Harvey gave a slide presentation and described the subject property, the existing land use and adjacent zoning. He stated that the Planning Commission discussed this item and there was some concern about how this particular use fits into the existing entertainment complex and how the noise might affect the adjacent neighborhood. He stated that they felt that the subject site was far enough away from the residential subdivision and if the go-carts were limited to a six horse power engine or less, noise would be mitigated enough to not substantially impact the existing neighborhood. He reviewed the reasons for recommending the special permit. Mr. Jerry Wagner, a resident in the South Bay harbor area, expressed opposition to the go-cart installation. He showed a map of the area depicting the people canvassed who are against the go-cart facility. Mr. Wallace Young, a resident in the area, expressed opposition and addressed the nuisance and noise that would be generated by the go-carts. Ms. Monique Warren, 1214 Harbor Village, spoke in opposition to the go-cart facility and elaborated on the noise which would be generated. Ms. Lielo McKane, 1302 South Bay, read a prepared statement and expressed opposition to the go-carts because of the noise nuisance. Mr. Thomas Gurley, speaking on behalf of Helen and Archie Gurley, 1322 South Bay, expressed opposition to the go-cart race track because of traffic problems. Mr. Arthur Olson, 1310 South Bay, spoke in opposition and talked about the potential noise problem and environmental issues. Mr. Mills Latham, speaking on behalf of the owners, discussed the purpose of the request and the proposed plans. He stated that they have agreed to reduce the noise by limiting the go-carts to six horsepower or less. Mr. Jim VonBoeckman, 1002 Harbor Village Drive, expressed support of the go-cart facility. Mr. Dean Smith, New Braunfels go-cart track owner, expressed support of the facility and stated that the noise level would not be that loud. Minutes Regular Council Meeting October 22, 1991 Page 12 A motion was made by Council Member McNichols to close the public hearing; seconded by Council Member McComb and passed unanimously by those present and voting.

Mayor Rhodes spoke about a mail advertisement for a shopping trip to San Antonio, and City Manager Garza noted that it is not a City sponsored activity and he has asked that it be discontinued. Mayor Rhodes called for Council concerns and liaison reports. Council Member Galindo presented a letter to the City Manager from Davis Aerospace Company about a future business possibility for Corpus Christi. Council Member McComb expressed concern about future traffic problems in the Rodd Field Road/South Padre Island Drive area due to the construction of the hospital, and City Manager Garza stated that he will refer this to traffic engineering. Mr. McComb expressed concern about the downtown fire station, and City Manager Garza reviewed the status of the situation. Mr. McComb referred to the water issue and expressed concern about continuing to drain the lake. He made a motion to instruct staff to stop water release, until a plan is worked out. The motion was seconded by Council Member Moss. Minutes Regular Council Meeting October 22, 1991 Page 13 Mayor Rhodes strongly urged the Council not to support the motion because of the serious ramifications involved. Discussion followed and City Manager Garza gave a brief water update and stated that he will bring a full report next week. The motion and second were withdrawn. Council Member Longoria reported on events in District 1 concerning the clearing done in Nueces River Park and a ground -breaking for homes for the disabled. Council Member Moss commented on the possible traffic problem at Rodd Field Road/South Padre Island Drive because of the new hospital. He expressed concern about the downtown fire station.

He stated that there were some procedural problems involved and it was his understanding that the Commission did not want to consider the issue until the plan is worked out. Dr. McNichols asked about the deposition concerning the C.A.R.E. representative, and Mr. Garza stated that the City was scheduled to depose the C.A.R.E. representative today but were notified that they would not appear. He stated that it is his understanding that C.A.R.E. is withdrawing as a party so they no longer will be a party to the proceedings. City Attorney Bray referred to the deposition and stated that Tim Brown's office has asked for sanctions against C.A.R.E. for not showing up at the deposition. Council Member Martin expressed the opinion that Tim Brown should proceed with sanctions against C.A.R.E. and if he decides not to, the Council should be informed. He expressed concern that the City's letter to the Texas Water Commission regarding the releases for October was a simple request to deal with something on a realistic basis and they chose not to respond. Mayor Rhodes asked that the City's attorney in the water rights issue be present at next week's Council Meeting. City Manager Garza referred to the scheduled closed session regarding acquisition of property connected with the Corona Drive extension and stated that the memo was explicit and suggested moving ahead unless the Council wishes to discuss it further.
