INDEXED
Though the 2002 Master Plan projected Corpus Christi to grow to over 315,000 by
2010, growth in Corpus Christi has been slow since 2000. According to the US Census
and City -Data, the population of Corpus Christi is estimated to be 287,438 — only a
3.6% increase from 2000.
Evidence of what growth and development that has occurred since 2000 can be seen in
the southwest areas of town. The majority City's newest subdivisions and businesses
have sprung up southwest of South Padre Island Boulevard.
Though majority of our population (58.6%) is Hispanic, we have a rich diversity of
ethnicity and race.The median resident age is 33.2 compared to the State of Texas'
32.3. And the median household income of $45,612 trails that of most Texans
($50,043).

follows, and add following new information:
`Section 4.3 Goals for the 2008 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master

The goals for this time period are updated to reflect input from public
hearings/meetings held in 2008. Though some elements of the objectives for 2002-07
have been accomplished, the objective remains in place because there is additional

Goal 1. Provide a variety of recreation facilities and programs to meet the needs
and desires of all segments of Corpus Christi's population
Objectives

active and passive, and in all socio economic categories.

at the expense of providing adequate recreation facilities for the citizens and taxpayers
of Corpus Christi.

M:\LEG-DIR\Lisa12011 OrdinanceL4mendParksMasterPlanOrdinanceworking v4-12-14-2010.doc

5

Goal 6. Provide increased funding levels to improve operations and
maintenance throughout the parks and recreation system in the city.
Objectives:

reduced levels for more natural areas for all recreational facilities based on the
programmed use of each. Strive to maintain all facilities to the highest feasible standard.
o Increase staffing levels to provide for adequate maintenance of all parks.
o Include operations and maintenance costs in all consideration of new or improved parks
facilities.

funds that allow the city to improve parks in the city.

cost.

SECTION 4. That the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Corpus Christi, Texas is
amended by amending Section 5, Public Input, of the City of Corpus Christi Parks,
Recreation, & Open Space Master Plan, an element of the Comprehensive Plan, to add
new information regarding community meetings as follows:
"Section 5. Public Input"
"Community Meetings
Public Meetings for the update to the master plan were publicized, posted and held
on the following dates:
April 13, 2005 at the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee (PRAC) Meeting
January 16, 2008 at the PRAC Meeting
January 28, 2008 at Garden Community Center
March 5, 2008 at the Planning Commission Meeting
March 11, 2008 at the City Council Meeting (plan approved)
Summary of comments collected at meetings:
Residents and stakeholders continued to place a high priority of the development of
a network of trails throughout the city but specifically the park system.
H:1LEG-DIR\Lisa12011 Ordinance4AmendParksMasterPlanOrdinanceworking v4-12-14-2010.doc
7
With continued development towards the Oso Creek and Oso Bay areas (southwest
portion of town) stakeholders expressed an interest in moving forward with
preserving wetlands, natural areas along both bodies of water. This was consistent
with comments collected during the development of the Oso Creek and Bay
Greenbelt Parks Master Plan.
Targeted development of youth sports fields, community centers and aquatic
facilities in the northwest and southwest areas of town.
The addition of the skate park in Cole Park in 2007 led residents and stakeholders
to drop this from the priority list for development, however a strong contingency of
dog park supporters voiced their wishes to see the city's first dog park built. A
group committed to ask the city identify/raise funds to develop the park.
The PRAC suggested renaming the priority labeled "picnic pavilions" to "visitor
pavilions" to match previous Master Plan recommendations to seek alternate
funding sources. Visitor pavilions suggest a larger structure that could eventually
garner rental fees."
