Section 2. The City makes the following detailed
findings as to the reasons for such designation and
description of the overall objectives for redevelopment and
recovery of the Eligible Blighted Areas:
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ELIGIBLE AREAS
The Community Development Block Grant Eligible Areas have
been designated eligible for the Community Development Block
Grant Program under the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1974, as amended. Basically, their eligibility
derives from a complex formula based primarily on a majority
of the residents of the area having incomes which do not
exceed 80% of the median income of the Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area (SMSA). Additionally, a significant amount
of substandard or obsolete buildings are located within the
areas. Unemployment rates tend to be higher in these census
tracts than in any other census tracts in the City.
Approximately $30 million in CDBG funds have been allocated
directly to these areas since January 1975, primarily for
infrastructure such as streets, gutters, sidewalks, and
storm drainage. Development of commercial activity in these
areas will aid in their redevelopment and provide secondary
support to the downtown commercial sector and the Convention
Center.
WESTERN AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT AREA
The Western Airport Development Area is located to the north
of the Corpus Christi International Airport in the western
portion of the City. The area is basically undeveloped or
under -developed. Potential for development is rather large,
given its proximity to both the airport and the industrial
operations at the Port of Corpus Christi. It is bounded on
two sides by eligible CDBG areas, and as such, can be
considered an extension of the CDBG areas. Development or
redevelopment in this area can be considered as an attempt
by the City to utilize land presently within the City limits
rather than expanding into the City's extra -territorial
jurisdiction. Access to the area is excellent and would
indicated that it is a prime potential development area for
commercial hotel and motel development. Such hotel and
motel development would primarily serve regular commercial
traffic and help alleviate the over -demand on downtown and
bayfront hotels and motels; thus providing secondary support
to the tourist and Convention Center traffic. Development
of the area would increase job opportunities within the
City, with a majority of the jobs being available to persons
residing within the CDBG areas.
Section 3. The City finds and represents to the
Texas Industrial Commission that the availability of
financing of projects for commercial uses under the' Act will
contribute significantly to the alleviation of the blighted
conditions found to exist in the designated Eligible
Blighted Areas.
Section 4. The principal types of projects for
commercial uses desired and authorized by the City to
enhance its redevelopment efforts in the Eligible Blighted
Areas are the acquisition, construction and development of
hotel and motel facilities, including restaurants, meeting
rooms, swimming pools, parking facilities and other
commercial space reasonably related to the development and
support of such facilities, and the redevelopment or
construction of similar additions to existing hotels and
motels. Presently, this list of commerical uses planned in
the Eligible Blighted Areas is exclusive; however, other
types of projects are anticipated and will be considered on
a case by case basis.
Section 5. The City represents that it will
review all project descriptions for approval of specific
projects for commercial uses in order to determine whether
such projects are consistent with the City's objectives for
redevelopment of the Eligible Blighted Areas.
Section 6. At the time of the adoption of this
resolution, the City has planned the following public
improvements to be made within the Eligible Blighted Areas:
(See attached "Exhibit C")
Section 7. Upon the written request of the Mayor
or five Council members, copy attached, to find and declare
an emergency due to the need for efficient administration of
City affairs and the prompt economic redevelopment of said
Eligible Blighted Areas, such finding of an emergency is
made and declared requiring suspension of the Charter rule
as to consideration and voting upon ordinances or
resolutions at three regular meetings so that this
resolution is passed and shall take effect upon first
reading as an emergency measure this they of
March, 1982.
