SETTING THE LEVEL OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE
PROPOSED RODD FIELD PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT.
WHEREAS, on October 24, 2000, the City Council adopted Resolution 024261,
initiating proceedings to establish the Rodd Field Village Public Improvement District in
response to petitions filed by the property owners;
WHEREAS, during its deliberations the City Council asked the City's staff to reexamine
the proposed improvements to determine whether it would be feasible to bring the area
up to current City development standards;
WHEREAS, the staff has determined it would cost approximately $6,500,000 to bring
the area up to today's platting and construction standards;
WHEREAS, the staffs original proposal would cost approximately $779,950, plus an
additional $89,000 in engineering and platting expenses;
WHEREAS, when the City annexed the Rodd Field Village in 1989, the City recognized
the area posed a unique situation for the City and accepted modified development
standards in the annexation service plan;
WHEREAS, when the City of Corpus Christi annexed the Rodd Field Village, the
service plan (a copy of the service plan is attached to this resolution as Exhibit 1)
spelled out which improvements the City would maintain and the conditions under
which the City would assume responsibility;
WHEREAS, the members of the City Council concur with the proposal to limit the
improvements to the standards and levels of service established for Rodd Field Village
in the annexation service plan;
WHEREAS, due to the historical development of Rodd Field (a former naval aviation
training base), the construction of industrial facilities close to existing property lines, the
lack of or inadequacy of existing rights-of-way and easements, and other unique
circumstances that make the application of many current development standards to
Rodd Field Village impractical and uneconomical; and
WHEREAS, in petitioning for this Public Improvement District, the property owners
recognized that the limited improvements were all they and the City can afford to
provide at the present time or in the foreseeable future, and that there is no
commitment or obligation by the City to plan for any future improvements to the area;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RE~OI:VED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:

constructed within the proposed district under Section 2.d. of Resolution 024261, the

construction standards, specifications, and detail sheets.
SECTION 2. For the reasons stated in the whereas paragraphs of this resolution, the
standards for improvements that will be constructed through the proposed Rodd Field
Public Improvement District are based on these unique factors, and may not be used to
establish any precedent for improvements to other areas of the City.
