PLAN MISSION STATEMENT
The ultimate goal of this plan is to guide the transformation of the Mustang/Padre Island area into
a world-renowned tourist, resort and residential community. The City will encourage the highest
development standards within the area's boundaries to create a unique "sense of place."
Economic development and growth will be tempered with common sense and environmental
sensitivity to the significant coastal natural resources on the Islands.

Area Development Plan
INTRODUCTION
The City of Corpus Christi envisions Mustang/Padre Island as a regional, national, and
international resort destination. The recreational amenities, leisure and resort facilities, and
residential communities will be among the finest along the entire Gulf Coast. Moreover, the
recreational opportunities will appeal to a broad socioeconomic range of clientele, allowing all to
enjoy what Mustang/Padre Island has to offer. Whether for sport fishing, beach combing, wind
and kite surfing or rest and relaxation, visitors will want to return again and again. The character
of the residential neighborhoods will attract new residents who appreciate what the area has to
offer. Visitors and residents alike will come to appreciate the unique sense of place created
through requiring the highest quality of development. This vision will make Mustang/Padre Island
a preeminent destination of the Gulf Coast and a brilliant asset to our sparkling city.
The City Charter mandates the Corpus Christi Comprehensive Plan. The Charter requires
the City Council to ". . . establish comprehensive planning as a continuous governmental function
to guide, regulate, and manage future development . . . "and that " . . . all city improvements,
ordinances, and regulations shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan . . . ". The
Comprehensive Plan is comprised of various plan elements such as Policy Statements, Area
Development Plans (ADP's), Capital Improvement Programs, and Master Utility Plans. The
comprehensive planning process is a means for citizens and community leaders to guide
community development. The Comprehensive Plan, by definition, is general, long range, and
broad in scope. Its purpose is to guide the City in policy formulation and in the implementation
of strategies related to population, housing, environment, land use, transportation, annexation,
economic development and public services. As part of the planning process, planning staff
developed the Mustang/Padre Island Area Development Plan Issues Report based upon the input
of the Mustang/Padre Island Stakeholders Group. This document was used to identify the
important issues related to the ADP.
The Mustang/Padre Island Area is located in the easternmost part of the City, offshore from the
mainland. The Plan area is bounded by Port Aransas on the north, the Gulf of Mexico on the
east, Padre Island National Seashore on the south and the Laguna Madre and Corpus Christi Bay
to the west. The area also includes the John F. Kennedy Causeway. (See Figure 1 - Boundary
Map.)

The principle objectives of this plan are as follows:
1) To recognize the unique characteristics of this area and establish policies for development
standards that may not apply citywide.
2) To recognize the regional economic significance of this area and develop policies that
advocate responsible economic development strategies.
3) To propose techniques or methods by which the environmentally sensitive areas must be
preserved and/or developed with minimal adverse impacts.
4) To propose appropriate land uses and a corresponding transportation network to serve future
land uses and public access to the Gulf beaches.
5) To facilitate infrastructure planning through a reasonable estimate of future land use.
DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS (U.S. Census Bureau)
POPULATION
This area is the one of the fastest growing areas in the City. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate population
growth in Corpus Christi as a whole and within the Mustang/Padre Island Area. These figures
include actual census counts projections through 2050. Area population growth is significantly
influenced by land availability and density of development. Being an island, with significant
amounts of natural resources, land availability is limited. A comparison of population between the
City and the Island (Figures 2 and 3) indicates that the rate of growth on the island has been much
faster than the City as a whole and is expected to continue to at least 2050.The historical growth
rate over the last 20 years has been about 1% per year for the City while the growth rate for the
island has been about 10% per year. With the construction of Packery Channel and the opening of
Schlitterbahn Water Park, development is expected to rise sharply through the next 20—30 years.
Over the next 20 years much of the vacant areas on North Padre and Mustang Island will fill-in,
such as the undeveloped portions of Padre Isles west of Schlitterbahn/Aquarius Drive, the Lake
Padre area and land along the seawall. South of Padre Isles is the "Jones Tract" which contains
about 1,200 acres of private undeveloped land, nearly as large an area as Padre Isles. The
anticipated increase in development is primarily due to the overall economic growth in the State,
as well as planned future amenities on the Islands.
The demographic makeup of the Mustang/Padre Island Area is not consistent with that of Corpus
Christi. Within the area, about 70% of the population is in the 21 — 64 year age group.
Meanwhile, the City has about 60% of the population in the same age group. The 0— 20 year age
group makes up about 15% of the Mustang/Padre population, as compared to about 29% for
Corpus Christi's population. This is indicative of the area's status as a resort community. The
bulk of the population is working age adults, with fewer children than the remainder of the City.
Also, there is a slightly higher percentage of retirement age (65+) individuals within the area
(17%) than the rest of the City (12%). The proportion of households with children citywide is
about 36%. Meanwhile, within the area, only about 17% of households have children.

EDUCATION
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 5
Educational attainment for individuals age 25 and over differs greatly between the area and
Corpus Christi. Citywide, about 15% lack a high school diploma or equivalent. That statistic is
about 5% for the area. About 54% of Mustang/Padre residents have a bachelor's degree or
higher. In contrast, only about 21% of Corpus Christi residents have a bachelor's degree or
higher.
INCOME
Median household income in the area is significantly higher and the poverty level is significantly
lower than the remainder of the City. The median household income in Mustang/Padre is about
$95,871, while that of Corpus Christi is about $49,675. Also, less than 5% of households in the
area live below the poverty level, as compared to the City's 13%.
HOUSING
According to the 2014 American Community Survey, 10.5% of the total housing units citywide
were vacant. For the island, 34.7% of the total housing units were vacant. This is largely due to
the preponderance of seasonal housing units in the Mustang/Padre Area. While a figure for
seasonal housing units is not provided in the 2014 ACS, the 2010 Census did show that 23.6% of
the total housing on the island is for seasonal, recreational, or occasional use. This information
suggests that vacancy rates on the island are typical of the city's vacancy rate.
There is a significant difference in median home values between citywide values and
Mustang/Padre Island. Citywide median home values (Texas A&M Real Estate Center) have
increased from $155,169 in 2011 to 195,275 in 2015, or a 27% increase. The American
Community Survey shows that the island census tract had a median home value of$284,900 in
2011. Assuming a 27% increase the median value of a home on the island is likely to be at least
$360,000 or higher. The difference in price goes back to that old real estate phrase "location,
location, location" and the favored value of living on the gulf coast.
CURRENT LAND USE
Figures 4 and 5 illustrate the existing land uses on the Island and Table 1 provides a break down
for land use acreages by category. For the first time, the city can also track land use changes
between 2004 and 2016. The total study 2016 area contains 27,751 acres which is slightly less
compared with the 2004 Plan as less water area has been included in the plan boundary. The Low
Density Residential uses have experienced an increase of over 50% since 2004. The Medium
Density Residential use category has also expanded, however a portion (about 13 acres) of that
expansion is due to a reclassification of High Density uses to Medium Density since 2004.
Clearly, the Park category is far and away the biggest use of land on the island with over 16,000
acres reserved for park or recreation uses. The reduction in Park land of several hundred acres
since 2004 is the conversion of the Padre Isles Golf Course to the commercial use category, i.e.,
Schlitterbahn Development. As expected the vacant land use was reduced slightly due to new
development but still contains approximately 20% of the total land in the study area.

The Figure 1, 2016 Study Area Boundary Map includes a larger water area that has not been included in
the above table so that land acreage development could be compared. The Conservation/Preservation
category has been combined with Water/Wetlands/Beach and the Estate Residential category has been
combined with Low Density Residential.
For this plan a calculation for the area of the Gulf Beach, measured from the Line of Vegetation
seaward to Mean High Tide, was estimated to be 445 acres.
AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN PLANNING PROCESS
The purpose of the 2016 planning process for the Mustang/Padre Island Plan was to update the
existing plan rather than create a whole new plan.
One of the major recommendations of the 2004 Mustang/Padre Island Plan was to create a
neighborhood committee to help shepherd the implementation of the adopted plan. Shortly after
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 9
adoption of the 2004 Plan, City Council established the Island Strategic Action Committee which
has taken a leading role in this plan update.
The planning process for the Mustang/Padre Island Area Development Plan consists of the
following steps:
1. The Creation of an Island Strategic Action (ISAC) subcommittee to work with City Staff and
Stakeholders to formulate an update to the Plan.
2. The ISAC ADP Subcommittee formulates planning process and schedule for plan update and
begins inventory of land use, infrastructure, etc.
3. Subcommittee, which includes Staff and Stakeholders identifies island issues to be addressed
in the plan.
4. Subcommittee drafts the Plan updated to address issues of concern.
5. ISAC presents draft Plan to Islands Stakeholder Group for review and comment.
6. Subcommittee revises draft Plan based on Stakeholder Group input. •
7. Subcommittee presents the revised draft Plan to the ISAC and ISAC recommends a revised
plan for City Council Adoption.
8. The revised draft Plan is presented to Planning Commission for public hearing input. The
Planning Commission revises the plan if necessary and then recommends City Council
approval of revised draft Plan.
9. The revised draft Plan is presented to City Council for public hearing input. The draft Plan is
revised, if necessary, based on recommendation by City Council and Plan is approved.
STAKEHOLDER AND CITIZEN INPUT
A primary goal of the planning process is to obtain input from citizens interested in the
Mustang/Padre Island Area and from stakeholder groups. Stakeholder groups and professions
that have been involved in the planning process include:
o Padre Isles Owners Association
o Padre Island Business Association
o Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce
o Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority
o Convention and Visitors Bureau
o Corpus Christi Metropolitan Planning Organization
o Water Shore Advisory Committee
o Architects
o Engineers
o Real Estate Professionals
o Nueces County
o Business Owners
o Property Owners
o Residents
o City Staff e.g., Engineering Services, Park and Recreation, Marina, Public Works (Utilities),
and Development Services.

A. ENVIRONMENT
Preservation and protection of the Islands' ecology is critical to the public health, safety and
welfare of the Corpus Christi community and entire region. The Islands' ecology, including the
Gulf beach, dunes complex, and wetlands areas, provides significant benefits to the rest of the
region. It is a well-known fact that the Islands' beaches and dunes complex provides the first
line of defense to the mainland from hurricane storm surges. The Islands' wetlands and estuaries
provide an aquatic environment to support many species of fish and shellfish for sport and
commercial fishing. In addition, the unique beauty and recreational opportunities of the Islands,
specifically the beach areas, benefit the local and regional economy significantly. Tourism
studies have shown that the Gulf beaches are the number one tourist attraction to the Corpus
Christi area by visitors from both inside and outside of the State.
In order to balance the need to.protect the coastal natural resources of the Islands and to promote
economic development on the Islands, the following recommendations are proposed. Some of
the recommendations are being implemented by other governmental agencies, i.e. U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers, Nueces County, State of Texas, etc. The Plan recommendations are
intended to assure City support and are not intended to substitute or establish an overlap or
duplication of authority.
POLICY STATEMENT A.1
Gulf beaches between mean low tide and the line of vegetation must contain no structures or
improvements except erosion control measures and limited public recreational structures that
support public access, including, but not limited to, life guard towers, fishing/surfing piers, open-
air public showers, portable restrooms and traffic control devices.
POLICY STATEMENT A.2
Due to the complexity of the Islands development and the need to protect environmentally
sensitive areas, the City recommends an interdisciplinary site plan review process for all
commercial and multi-family residential development on the Islands, in conjunction with the
issuance of building permits.
All projects on the Islands shall be compliant with all local, State and Federal requirements and
executed in accordance with best practices.
POLICY STATEMENT A.3
Mustang and Padre Islands will not be considered for sanitary landfills or other solid waste
disposal, except for dredge materials.
POLICY STATEMENT A.4
The design and use of naturally regenerating systems for prevention and control of beach dune
erosion are encouraged and preferred over bulkheads and other hard structures provided the
protection system is a reasonable solution to the site where it is proposed. Regenerating systems
include, but are not limited to:
A) Beach nourishment;
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31, 2017
Page 11
B) Adapted beach management practices;
C) Planting with short-term mechanical assistance, when appropriate; and
D) Any other method consistent with the recommendations of the Texas General Land Office's
Dune Protection and Improvement Manual for the Texas Gulf Coast.
POLICY STATEMENT A.5
The City will encourage the protection of sensitive wildlife habitats and the Islands' environment
by considering innovative design techniques, implementation of incentives for developers and
allowing higher than typical development density in uplands where practical. It is not the intent
of this plan to initiate requirements for protection of non jurisdictional wetlands. The City
encourages any developer to voluntarily preserve the existing natural environment by
concentrating the total number of units allowed, based on gross acreage(including wetlands) into
a multi-story building or buildings. This "cluster development" results in large setbacks, buffer
zones,reduced infrastructure costs and more permanent open space.
POLICY STATEMENT A.6
The City should develop a revision to the landscape requirements in the Zoning Ordinance to
create an indigenous species and wetlands allowance for landscaping on the barrier islands. New
development may incorporate natural wetlands and vegetation to partially satisfy landscape
requirements where such features can meet the screening performance criteria.
POLICY STATEMENT A.7
Encourage development of an expanded canal system, including the bridge on SPID, to connect
Lake Padre/Packery Channel with the existing Padre Isles Subdivision. The expanded canal
system is consistent with proposed developer plans and would benefit Padre Island in several
ways as follows:
A) Improve canal system water quality in Padre Isles;
B) Improve surface drainage along SPID, i.e. a canal system parallel to SPID could provide
outfalls for storm drainage along the roadway;
C) Provide a convenient water transportation system for small watercraft between the Padre
Isles residential area and future commercial development in Lake Padre/Packery Channel.
POLICY STATEMENT A.8
Development should be consistent with the Joint Erosion Response Plan for Nueces County and
the City of Corpus Christi.
POLICY STATEMENT A.9
The City will continue streamlining the process for permitting.
POLICY STATEMENT A.10
Encourage use of native coastal plant species and discourage the use of invasive species.
POLICY STATEMENT A.11
Encourage development of future expanded canal systems on North Padre Island and Mustang
Island.
Exhibit A

B. LAND USE
OVERALL LAND USE PLAN POLICY STATEMENTS
PLAN STATEMENT B.1
The City's adopted citywide Future Land Use Plan map is a guide for future land use decisions
concerning zoning, capital improvements and any land disturbing activity in the City and the
Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. An excerpt from the Citywide Future Land Use map for the
Mustang/Padre Island Area is shown on Figure 6 .1 For the Mustang/Padre Island area the intent
of the Future Land Use Plan is to support environmentally sound, high-density tourist related
growth, medium density mixed uses and the growing permanent residential neighborhood on the
Islands. The plan provides for a compatible configuration of activities with emphasis on the
protection of residential lifestyle from incompatible activities, the placement of commercial
activity at locations with good access and high visibility, and the identification of
environmentally sensitive areas that should be protected.
POLICY STATEMENT B.2
Tourist oriented business and development will continue to be encouraged and promoted by all
agencies of the City as illustrated on the Future Land Use Map. This includes commercial
ventures, condominiums and resorts, fishing and outdoor recreation facilities, and recreational
vehicle parks outside the current Island Overlay(See Appendix A).
POLICY STATEMENT 8.3
Development that is visible from designated arterial thoroughfares must have a well-planned
urban design theme creating a sense of place, enhancing the visitor experience and the overall
quality of life.
POLICY STATEMENT B.4
To create a unique sense of place, the Islands' landscape requirements for street yards adjacent to
SPID and SH361 will be of a higher standard than is typically required elsewhere in the City.
Variances, special permits, or other means to reduce the landscaping requirements for
development in this Plan Area will be discouraged.
POLICY STATEMENT B.5
Signage requirements should promote a coordinated and cohesive design and reinforce a
desirable identity of the Islands.
POLICY STATEMENT B.6
Encourage placement of public art on roadway medians and other public or private properties.
The Future Land Use Plan contained in this ADP may be generalized and incorporated into the City's Citywide
Future Land Use Plan. If there is any conflict between the Future Land Use in this ADP and the City's generalized
Future Land Use Plan,then ADP Future Land Use shall supersede.

POLICY STATEMENT B.7
The designation of"Mixed Use" in the Future Land Use Plan expresses the City's desire to mix
residential and non-residential uses. Development objectives for the Mixed Use categories are to
incorporate the latest design innovations, the highest quality construction, integrated land uses, a
safe and efficient transportation network, and pedestrian, golf cart and bicycle amenities. A
"Mixed Use" area should be developed using a PUD zoning district or other equivalent zoning
category.
A) Mixed use/residential -A high percentage of land designated for Mixed Use Residential
should be developed for residential purposes. Low density neighborhood-serving
businesses may also be appropriate (no more than 10% of the area). Clustering of
development density with large setbacks or permanent reserves of open space may also be
acceptable in combination with high density uses, provided high density uses are integrated
into the surrounding neighborhood and any negative impacts are eliminated or mitigated.
B) Mixed use/tourist - The mixed use tourist land use is characterized by high density
residential and high density business uses. High density business uses may range in
character between either serving the region or be targeted to the island population. Uses
may include bed and breakfasts, hotels, condominiums, marinas/vessel repair and
maintenance, convention facilities, ancillary commercial uses, etc., along SPID, SH361,
seawall and Gulf of Mexico.
POLICY STATEMENT B.8
Work to create a conveniently located permanent Islands visitor center.
POLICY STATEMENT B.9
he City will continue to protect residential neighborhoods from encroachment of non-residential
uses by requiring non-residential uses to mitigate any negative effects on adjacent
neighborhoods.
POLICY STATEMENT B.10
Industrial uses and sexually oriented uses are incompatible with and may threaten residential
land uses, the natural environment and the family tourist orientation of the Islands. Oil and gas
exploration and production is exempted from this policy, where allowed by law, provided all
pertinent requirements are met.
POLICY STATEMENT B.11
Manufactured homes are prohibited on the Islands.
POLICY STATEMENT B.12
Utility lines will be placed underground, where practical, and will minimize disturbance of
wetlands, dunes, or other sensitive habitats and wildlife. This will improve the aesthetics of the
area and improve public safety, particularly in times of weather emergencies.
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 16
A) The installation of new electrical, telephone or other utility lines, where practical, along
expressways, arterials, and collector streets, or the substantial expansion of existing
electrical, telephone, or other utility lines along these roadways should be accomplished
underground or underwater, where practical.
B) Existing utility lines are to be relocated underground wherever practical, as the City and/or
State undertake street or highway projects or when a utility company replaces overhead
utility lines.
POLICY STATEMENT B.13
To insure compatibility of energy production activities and tourist-oriented development, the
City will develop design compatibility guidelines and require new oil and gas producers to
conform to these standards. Development plans for extraction or support facilities will undergo
site plan review and inspection for compliance and appropriate screening will be required.
POLICY STATEMENT B.14
The City, County and State will work together to promote public parking areas in proximity to
public beaches.
POLICY STATEMENT B.15
ISAC (Island Strategic Action Committee) will be notified of all zoning and re-zoning cases that
come before the City regarding the Islands at the time of public notification.
POLICY STATEMENT B.16
Vehicular access along the Gulf beach shall not be restricted unless necessary for public safety.
POLICY STATEMENTS FOR THE PUBLICLY OWNED LAND
IN THE CITY'S FIVE MILE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION
LOCATED IN KLEBERG COUNTY SOUTH OF THE CITY LIMITS
POLICY STATEMENT B.17
This area is publicly owned by Nueces County or is within the Padre Island National Seashore.
Currently, the land is undeveloped with only a few oil and gas extraction activities on the
property. Regarding development in this area, the following policies apply:
A) This area must be preserved as an area of natural coastal habitat while providing for
increased public access to the Gulf beaches and the Laguna Madre Shorelines.
B) Any use or development of the land or a portion thereof must have a significant beneficial
impact on the region or the State.
C) Potential uses for this area include:
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 17
1) Beach and Laguna access roads at a spacing of approximately 2 miles apart (current
spacing is 8 miles) are critically needed for emergency vehicle and enhanced public
access.
2) Camping, fishing, hiking and general recreation.
POLICY STATEMENTS FOR THE AREA FROM
ZAHN ROAD TO THE SOUTH CITY LIMITS
POLICY STATEMENT B.18
Commercial proposals providing substantial acreage and planned commercial clusters are
encouraged in large developments of substantial acreage.
POLICY STATEMENT B.19
Low and medium density mixed use tourist facilities will be encouraged. High density mixed
use locations will be planned to accommodate ingress/egress in neighborhoods.
POLICY STATEMENTS FOR THE AREA FROM
ZAHN ROAD TO NORTH CITY LIMITS
POLICY STATEMENT B.20
Buffer zones will be encouraged next to single and multi-family residential areas from Mustang
Island State Park to the north city limits.
POLICY STATEMENT B.21
North of the Mustang Island State Park on the Gulf side of SH361 high-density tourist oriented
development will be encouraged.
POLICY STATEMENT B.22
The area located on the west side of SH361 is planned for residential mixed uses and
conservation/State Park. Large portions of this area are composed of low-lying wetlands. Due to
the sensitive nature of these lands and because the area does not have direct access to the Gulf, a
maximum overall residential density of 12 units per acre will be allowed. Cluster-type
developments will be encouraged through the use of incentives and are preferred over traditional
residential development patterns. Commercial uses at intersections with collectors along SH361
are appropriate.
POLICY STATEMENT B.23
High quality planned commercial uses at the intersection of collector streets are encouraged.
Strip commercial development will be prohibited along SH361, unless access management
techniques are provided (marginal access, shared driveways, etc.). Access management will
enhance public safety and the traffic capacity of SH361.
Exhibit A

POLICY STATEMENT B.24
City and county will pursue construction of a public-access boat ramp and associated amenities
at Wilsons Cut.
POLICY STATEMENTS FOR THE
JOHN F. KENNEDY (JFK) CAUSEWAY AREA
POLICY STATEMENT B.25
Regarding development in this area, the followingpolicies apply:
p PP :Y
A) The bait and fishing stands located along the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Causeway are at the
primary entrance to the Islands and are among the first sights visitors see of the Islands.
The City will place a high priority on the visual enhancement of this area.
B) Paved parking and structural improvements will be required.
C) The City will encourage efforts to beautify, enhance, preserve and protect the area.
D) The entrance to the Islands should be enhanced by using prominent signage or another type
of structure.

C. TRANSPORTATION
POLICY STATEMENT C.1
The City Council adopts the Urban Transportation Plan, which is part of MobilityCC, the
Mobility Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan to guide future transportation decisions.
The transportation section of this Area Development Plan recommends amendments to the
Corpus Christi Urban Transportation Plan recommendations are based on the "ultimate" street
network necessary to serve a fully developed plan area. Unless otherwise specified or where not
feasible, all streets are recommended to contain sidewalk, curb, gutter and underground drainage.
This transportation section recommends amendments to the Urban Transportation Plan map and
to the Bikeway Plan as follows:
A) Sand Dollar is currently a paper street; the City should evaluate the need for Sand Dollar
Street and potential impact the street could have on relieving traffic congestion.
The proposed collector streets on the Islands are conceptually located and some alignments may
change depending on efficient and functional alternatives presented by the property owner at the
time of development.
B) Integrate the bikeway system with the new bridge and water exchange being developed on
Park Road 22 and SH 361 and Whitecap Boulevard. The vision for the bridge is to provide
water access from the neighborhood in Padre Isles to Lake Padre, to create better water
quality in the Padre Isles canal system and to connect the Padre Isles residential
neighborhood with the Lake Padre area.
C) The area immediately west of SH 361 and Beach Access Road 2 has been acquired by
Mustang Island State Park, and therefore the proposed collector street located on the west
side of SH 361 between Beach Access Road 2 and Seaway Drive extended should be
removed from the Urban Transportation Plan. See Figure 9.
POLICY STATEMENT C.2
The City will encourage implementation of the pedestrian and bicycle amenities as prescribed in
the MPO's Strategic Plan for Active Mobility Phase I: Bicycle Mobility (completed 2016) and
Phase II: Pedestrian Mobility (under development 2016) Figure K1. These plans are intended to
foster cycling and walking as safe and viable transportation alternatives to enhance access to
essential goods and services for all residents and visitors in our community.
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 20
POLICY STATEMENT C.3
The City, in coordination with the Federal, State and County governments, will prioritize a long-
term emergency action plan for maintaining sufficient emergency egress from the Islands, which
will include a second crossing of the Laguna Madre.
POLICY STATEMENT C.4
SH361 and SPID are the emergency access roads on and off the Islands. All future modifications
to these roads and new collector streets and modifications to existing collector streets within
500feet of SPID shall be designed to assure that low elevations in these roadways do not
critically limit evacuation of the Islands. The City will conduct a study to evaluate flooding on
PR22.
POLICY STATEMENT C.5
A high priority will be placed on transportation improvements, including the PR22 bridge, that
will directly benefit the local tourist industry and are multi-modal, i.e. accommodate transit and
active (non-vehicular) modes of mobility. Future canal systems should accommodate multi-
modal means of transportation where possible with emphasis placed on multi-modal
accessibility.
POLICY STATEMENT C.6
Encourage a second crossing of the Laguna Madre, as included in Segment A of the seven
segment Regional Parkway Mobility Corridor project, as described in a 2013 Feasibility Study
and a 2016 Planning and Environmental Linkages study. Recognition of the potential need for an
alternative crossing is documented in studies from the 1980s and 1990s, including the South
Loop Transportation Study (1999).
Segment A would be intended to:
A) Provide secondary emergency evacuation route from Mustang and Padre Islands.
B) Serve the growing residential population on the south side of Corpus Christi and facilitate
regional mobility and connectivity.
C) Alleviate mounting congestion and operational/safety issues on the SH358 corridor

POLICY STATEMENT C.7
For public safety and to protect roadway capacity on SPID and SH361, future development will
require access management controls, i.e. shared driveways, interconnected parking, etc.
Implementation of the recommendations derived from the 2016 Padre Island Access and
Mobility Study should be prioritized.
POLICY STATEMENT C.8
Encourage working with the appropriate agencies to develop a solution for traffic congestion at
PR22 and SH361 interection and access road.
POLICY STATEMENT C.9
The City will continue to work with private landowners,TxDOT and the Texas General Land
Office to identify potential beach accesses and get them constructed (i.e. Access 2A, 2B and 3A).
The City will also continue to maintain these access roads for the benefit of the public. The
access roads should be re-named to correspond with their adjacent mile marker.
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 24
POLICY STATEMENT C.10
The City will pursue grants, capital improvement programming, hotel/motel tax revenue and
other sources of funding for acquisition and improvement of public beach access.
BEACH ACCESS
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this section is to preserve and enhance the public's right to use and have access to
and from the public beach and to support standards certifying construction on land adjacent to
the Gulf of Mexico is consistent with such public rights.
The geographic scope of the City's jurisdiction for beach access includes all areas within the
City's corporate limits and its extraterritorial jurisdiction on the Islands located between the Gulf
beach and the closest paralleling public roadway or 1,000 feet, whichever is greater. In addition,
the City is authorized to regulate the platting of property and to annex properties within the
City's extraterritorial jurisdiction. Two areas are exempted by the GLO rules from local
beachfront construction certification requirements. These exempted areas are the Mustang Island
State Park and the Padre Island National Seashore. The City is requesting County, State and
Federal agencies controlling beachfront property provide enhanced access and parking facilities.
In addition, certain uses and development such as oil and gas exploration and livestock grazing
are exempted from the requirements of a dune protection permit, but not a Beachfront
Construction Certificate(BCC).
Shoreline areas experiencing erosion are of particular concern, as any structures located adjacent
to these areas will be at the highest risk of damage in the shortest time period. Under rules
established by the GLO, which are applicable to both beach access and dune protection review
procedures, construction in the eroding areas must be responsive to the risk of erosion in the
future. An erosion area boundary has been identified through utilizing erosion data provided by
the Bureau of Economic Geology. This boundary projects potential erosion 50 years into the
future. Additional construction standards will apply within this area. These standards are
included within the Nueces County Corpus Christi Joint Erosion Response Plan and the Dune
Protection and Beach Access Regulations.
EXISTING BEACH ACCESS
Approximately 24.7 miles of public gulf beach is within the city limits and extraterritorial
jurisdiction of the City. Currently, seven vehicular roads provide public access to the 14.7 miles
of public beach within the City of Corpus Christi's area of control with 3 additional beach access
roads located within State and National parks. An additional 10 miles of beach are in either the
exempted areas of the Mustang Island State Park or the Padre Island National Seashore. Beach
Access Road #2 is located approximately one-half mile north of the northern boundary of
Mustang Island State Park. This is the only beach access road between the State Park and Beach
Access Road #1, located approximately 7.3 miles north of Beach Access Road #2 and 3.6 miles
north of the Port Aransas city limits.
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 25
All of the remaining ten beach access roads within the City of Corpus Christi's area of control
are concentrated within a four-mile area between Beach Access Road #3 and Beach Access Road
#6. This area includes the Seawall and Nueces County's Padre Balli Park and Packery Channel.
The Mustang Island State Park entrance road provides the only vehicular access to the two-mile
long public beach between Fish Pass and south to the vehicular barrier located 0.3 miles north of
Beach Access Road #3. Beach Access Road #3 is located within Mustang Island State Park and
approximately 3/4 mile north of the State Park's southern boundary. It provides access to the
beach between the State Park's vehicular barrier on the north side of Corpus Christi Pass and
Zahn Road. Beach Access Road "North", as it is commonly referenced, is located approximately
one mile south of the northern boundary of the Padre Island National Seashore. This road
provides the only beach access road between Beach Access Road #6 and the vehicular barrier
just south of Access Road "North" at the north end of the National Seashore, a distance of
approximately eight miles.
A barricaded parking and day-use area exists on a portion of the public beach between Padre
Balli Park entrance road and Bob Hall Pier. Vehicular traffic is routed immediately landward of
both of these areas.
Currently, most of the public beach within the City's jurisdiction is fully accessible to vehicular
traffic and public parking on the beach. The only restriction on vehicular traffic and public on-
beach parking exist along the Seawall. Public parking and vehicular traffic in front of the seawall
shall comply with the current City Ordinance.
POLICY STATEMENT C.11
The City shall consider renaming existing and future beach access roads to correspond with their
beach mile markers for safety and emergency purposes.
POLICY STATEMENT C.12
The City will continue to protect the public's right of access to Gulf Beaches through the BCC
process. The purpose of the BCC is to protect public access to gulf beaches as development
occurs adjacent to the Gulf Beach.
POLICY STATEMENT C.13
Numerous natural and man-made processes have caused significant changes of the public
beaches along the Gulf Coast, including Mustang and Padre Islands. If these processes continue,
as they are projected to, the public beach may become so narrow that continued vehicular use of
the beach might be physically impossible or pose a threat to public safety. Future opportunities
for providing public access to the public beach may be seriously diminished as development of
private property landward of the public beach occurs. Also, the increased use of public beaches
will create conflicts with vehicular and pedestrian movement. The City will strongly encourage
the following policies and objectives:
A) The purchase of pedestrian beach access points and associated parking. The primary
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 26
funding mechanism for these acquisitions will be State and Federal grants, capital
improvement programming and hotel/motel tax revenue.
B) Regulate pedestrian and vehicular beach access, traffic and parking on the beach only in a
manner that preserves or enhances existing public right to use.
C) Except for in front of the seawall, the City will not pursue closure of any portion of the
public beach to vehicular traffic except for emergency purposes or by voter approval.
POLICY STATEMENT C.14
The City, County and State will work together to promote public parking areas in proximity to
public beaches.
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 27
D. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Corpus Christi is the gateway to more useable ocean beach than any other community in the
nation. Twenty-one miles of Gulf beaches lie within Corpus Christi City limits or ETJ and
another sixty-two miles are only accessible through Corpus Christi. The Islands are home to
three major Beach Parks: the seventy-mile long Padre Island National Seashore, the 4,200-acre
Mustang Island State Park and the Nueces County Coastal Parks with 4,500 acres of Mustang
and Padre Island. Corpus Christi Bay and the Upper Laguna Madre system are the western
boundary of the Islands providing access for fishing, birding, water sports and other outdoor
activities. From the City's economic development perspective, public investment in
infrastructure for new development on the islands will have one of the biggest returns on
investments in this nationally unique area. The point to be made on these figures is that almost
any investment by the City to make the Islands more attractive, better able to accommodate new
growth, etc. will reap large returns in increased property values.
The Islands are one of only a few coastal areas near a metropolitan area that have ample
undeveloped property. If growth and development of the Islands occurs similar to other areas on
the east and west coasts then Corpus Christi can see an increase in Island property by multiples.
In 2016, the Islands represented approximately 15% of Corpus Christi's total taxable valuation.
Island Goals
THE CITY AND THE ISLANDS WILL WORK TO PROVIDE:
A) Well maintained, safe, attractive beaches.
B) Mixed destination use, including retail, entertainment, restaurants, meeting facilities, water
and boating access that are accessible by pedestrians, bicyclist, golf carts, shuttles and
motor vehicles.
C) Improved access to the Laguna Madre and Corpus Christi Bay.
D) A developed and unique identity for the Islands including branding, clearly identified
gateways and landscaping;
E) Sufficient funding to promote tourism to the Islands, including a coordinated effort to
promote the Islands.
F) Festival facilities.
G) A grocery store to service the growing residential population.
H) RV Parks in appropriate locations.
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 28
I) Plan for large scale developments on existing large undeveloped tracts, i.e. Lake Padre
Area and the Jones Tract located south of Padre Isles.
Residential
A) Safe, attractive orderly neighborhoods.
B) Well maintained neighborhood parks, an athletic center to include tennis, dog park(s),
swimming pools, etc.
C) Improved bicycle and pedestrian access to and within existing residential neighborhoods in
strategic locations.
D) Promote the Islands as a retirement destination.
E) Promote home ownership benefits in Texas.
POLICY STATEMENT D.1
The City will analyze and pursue alternative means of creating special funds for capital
improvements, public facilities and beach operations/maintenance. These funding mechanisms
include bond program funding, hotel/motel tax, beach parking fees, grants, tax increment
financing, and other local, State or Federal programs.
PACKERY CHANNEL
Packery Channel (Figure 10) was constructed as a joint project between the Federal Government
(US Army Corps of Engineers), the State(the Texas General Land Office) and the City of Corpus
Christi. The local share of this project is financed by the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No.
2 (TIRZ #2), also known as the Padre Island Tax Increment Financing District (PITIF) (Figure -
11). The TIRZ #2 is a means of allocating a portion of the property tax revenue collected from
the zone to pay for public improvements in the zone. The TIRZ does not create a new tax or
additional tax burden but is intended to encourage private investments and increase the value or
properties in the zone.
The Packery Channel Project has several purposes:
A) Providing a convenient recreational water passage from North Padre Island to the Gulf of
Mexico.
B) Providing a valuable source of sand for beach re-nourishment.
C) Providing funding for ongoing maintenance of the channel.
D) Providing an additional attraction for economic development of the Islands.

POLICY STATEMENT D.2
Capital improvement projects located in or serving areas in the TIRZ #2 are of the highest
priority. Extension of TIRZ #2 is vital for continuing maintenance of the Packery Chanel
project, providing funds for rehabilitation projects as a result of natural disasters and continued
improvement of the Islands. Capital improvements that support development of the TIRZ #2
will generate tax increment dollars that must be spent on public improvements in the district.
POLICY STATEMENT D.3
The City will vigorously support and encourage the continued development and improvement of
Packery Channel for the purpose of providing a recreational boat pass, enhanced water exchange
to the Laguna Madre and a destination attraction on the gulf coast
POLICY STATEMENT D.4
Promote tourist oriented development east of State Highway 361/Park Road 22 and between
Zahn Road and Whitecap Boulevard by providing public and private amenities to make the area
more attractive and "people friendly". These amenities should support a multimodal
transportation system (pedestrian, bicycle, vehicular and water transit), and uniquely attractive
developments, both public and private, with facilities using the highest quality design and
materials.
POLICY STATEMENT D.5
Private land located south of the Packery Channel and landward of the seawall should be
developed with a mix of high-density tourist oriented commercial and residential activities.
Development standards for this area will be of a very high order requiring abundant landscaping,
a consistent urban design theme and public improvements that exceed standard requirements. A
development concept provided by a major land owner of vacant lands in the area is shown on
Figure 12.
POLICY STATEMENT D.6
A navigable connection between Lake Padre and Padre Isles with a PR22 bridge is considered a
priority for development and water exchange.
POLICY STATEMENT D.7
Encourage development of a full service marina in Lake Padre opening up Padre Island to
recreational sailing and power vessels with unfettered access to the Gulf.

Figure 12: Packery Channel Enhancements
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 34
E. PUBLIC SERVICES
PARKS & RECREATION
POLICY STATEMENT E.1
Gulf of Mexico beaches are the region's number one tourist attraction and will be maintained in a
manner that promotes the public's access and use in a sustainable manner to the sensitive
beach/dune ecosystem. Beach operations headquarters and equipment storage facilities are
needed in close proximity to the beach. The City will investigate additional funding mechanisms
for these facilities to ensure sufficient personnel and equipment are available for this important
program. Possible additional or expanded funding operations may include:
A) Increases in the current fee and permit system.
B) Federal and State grants.
C) Local and State dedicated Hotel/Motel Taxes.
D) Special districts.
In addition, the City will continually seek to use "adaptive management practices" for beach
maintenance through continuous dialog with the GLO and Nueces Protection Advisory
Committee County.
POLICY STATEMENT E.2
The City will pursue alternative avenues for park land development, in conjunction with the
Nueces County Coastal Parks and Mustang Island State Park.
POLICY STATEMENT E.3
The City will develop a Specific Beach Utilization Master Plan for all gulf beaches and Packery
Channel and should include shoreline areas adjacent to the Laguna Madre/Corpus Christi Bay.
Development of the plan will include a public participation process designed to obtain input from
island property owners and residents, including the several existing Islands advocacy groups, as
well as citywide input from citizens. The plan should include recreational improvements to be
placed on either side of Packery Channel, the need for ADA accessibility on all improvements,
compliance with FEMA flood elevation requirements and the City and County's beach
management plans.
POLICY STATEMENT E.4
The City will encourage festival sites on the island for large special events. Facility
improvements are intended to make the Corpus Christi gulf coast the premier location for hosting
special beach events on the Texas gulf coast. Festival site facilities and locations may be
developed as joint ventures with the County, State or with private property owners.
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 35
POLICY STATEMENT E.5
The City will pursue additional public boat ramps and parking for access to the Laguna Madre
and Corpus Christi Bay. Joint public agreements between the County, the State or other entities
could facilitate this objective and reduce overall costs. Potential sites for consideration should
include: existing park locations; Wilson's Cut on Mustang Island and Kleberg County, Laguna
Madre shoreline or other viable alternatives.
POLICY STATEMENT E.6
A high recreational improvement priority of the City is to fully develop existing parks on the
island. These parks include Jackfish, Aquarius, Commodores, Billish and Douden Parks. The
improved parks will be regularly maintained according to the City's Parks Master Plan.
POLICY STATEMENT E.7
The City will pursue development of a multi-purpose meeting facility as a place for resident
public functions, senior citizen activities and other public/recreational functions. If land on
existing city parks is not suitable, the City should consider a joint agreement with the County on
County park land in the area.
POLICY STATEMENT E.8
The city will pursue development of dedicated park lands on Mustang Island.
PUBLIC SAFETY
POLICY STATEMENT E.9
The City will provide public safety personnel and facilities to serve the Islands.
STREETS
POLICY STATEMENT E.10
Establish a short, medium and long term schedule for street resurfacing of all existing streets on
the island. Collector and arterial streets and beach access roads will have priority for street
resurfacing.
STORMWATER SYSTEM
POLICY STATEMENT E.11
Development of a Stormwater Master Plan for Mustang Island is a high priority for supporting
new development. A key element of any new development is the manner in which the property
will efficiently and effectively drain, tie into an overall storm drainage system, and, most
importantly, not drain or damage downstream properties. Currently, there is not a Stormwater
Master Plan for Mustang Island.
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 36
WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS
POLICY STATEMENT E.12
The City will continue to place a high priority on providing an adequate supply of water to the
Islands to support rapid growth. The City will continue to explore conventional and innovative
methods of supply including: extension of additional water transmission lines, aquifer storage
and recovery and desalinization, etc.
POLICY STATEMENT E.13
The City will support and facilitate the creation of a public improvement district to provide
unpaved streets, water and wastewater and other public infrastructure improvements in portions
of the area not adequately supported by existing public infrastructure. For example, many of the
vacant lots (known as "A" and "B" Lots) along SPID and Palmira Streets do not have both water
and wastewater lines. The City would finance such improvements and assess the costs in an
equitable manner among district property owners in accordance with Chapter 372 of the Texas
Local Government Code.
POLICY STATEMENT E.14
The City will continue to reuse effluent from the Whitecap Wastewater Treatment Plant to
benefit the islands as a source of water for landscaping on the Islands
POLICY STATEMENT E.15
The City will continue to work closely with Nueces County Water Improvement District No. 4 in
the future to identify issues and ensure adequate provision of water and wastewater services to
the District's service area. The area south of Mustang Island State Park receives all services from
the City of Corpus Christi. District No. 4 provides water and wastewater services to the State
Park and areas north of the State Park, with the City providing all other services. This
arrangement will continue for the foreseeable future. This will include:
A) Creation of joint/compatible development standards between the City and District No. 4.
B) Provision of adequate and reliable water and wastewater services to all area property
owners.

F. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The purpose of this chapter is to outline the capital improvement needs as identified in the
Mustang/Padre Area Development Plan. The project list below should be used to provide input
to the City's Annual Capital Budget and Long Range Capital Improvement Program.
POLICY STATEMENT F.1
Establish continuous funding sources and foster multiple partnerships for ongoing capital
improvements on the islands. In addition to equitable distribution of future bond programs,
funding mechanisms include tax increment financing, public improvement district, tax
abatement/credits, State hotel/motel taxes or similar mechanisms. Multiple partnerships should
include, but are not limited to, the RTA, Nueces County, MPO, and impacted private
organizations. Care must be taken to insure that funding is reserved only for those projects that
create a measurable increase in quality of life and tourism. Following the adoption of this Plan,
City Staff will incorporate the Plan's capital improvements into the overall citywide Capital
Improvement Program in keeping with the overall prioritization and funding available at the
time.
PARK AND RECREATION
POLICY STATEMENT F.2
Create a Specific Beach Utilization Master Plan for all Gulf Beaches, Packery Channel and
shoreline areas adjacent to the Laguna Madre/Corpus Christi Bay. Elements to be included in
the plan will include:
A) Facilities such as showers, pavilions and restrooms, etc.
B) Access facilities — beach access roads, day use areas, public parking and dune walkovers
etc.
C) Boat ramps and/or portage areas.
D) Pedestrian access for viewing natural habitat areas.
E) Shade structures and pavilions.
F) Beach maintenance and operations facilities.
G) Signage.
H) Festival facilities.
I) Other associated recreational facilities.
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 38
POLICY STATEMENT F.3
Public boat ramps on Mustang Island and Kleberg County or other viable alternatives to facilitate
public access.
POLICY STATEMENT F.4
Park Improvements. Billish Park is currently being upgraded. All other parks need to be
upgraded as well.
PUBLIC SAFETY
STREETS
POLICY STATEMENT F.5
Facilitate pedestrian and bicycle access along Park Road 22 with the highest priority for the
intersections of Commodores Drive and Whitecap Boulevard. The purpose is to make these
intersections and roadways safer for alternative modes of transportation. Such improvements
may include:
A) Joint sidewalks, bicycle and golf cart lanes.
B) Signage;
C) Enhanced and or more frequent street maintenance.
POLICY STATEMENT F.6
Landscaping and pedestrianfbicycle improvements and facilities should be constructed in the
public rights-of-way on major streets, or other streets in accordance with any adopted mobility
plans.
POLICY STATEMENT F.7
The JFK Causeway was elevated for safety. Park Road 22 should also be elevated for safety,
particularly as an egress, as well as improvement to drainage, primarily on the west bound lane.
The City and TXDOT should work together to establish and implement a solution.
POLICY STATEMENT F.8
Improve Sand Dollar (portions that have not been developed), Tortugas, Palmira and other
dedicated but unimproved streets.
POLICY STATEMENT F.9
Provide sidewalks to connect the seawall with Whitecap Boulevard and construct new sidewalks
on designated Urban Transportation Plan streets where there are no sidewalks.
Exhibit A
Mustang/Padre Area Island Development Plan
January 31,2017
Page 39
STORMWATER
POLICY STATEMENT F.10
Development of a Stormwater Master Plan for the Islands. Include in the plan an assessment of
Park Road 22 to determine if underground drainage could be a means to assure better drainage
and to provide a narrower curb and gutter street section on Park Road 22. Currently, there is at
least 200 feet of right-of-way on Park Road 22 to accommodate roadside ditches. A curb and
gutter section, could be constructed in only 100 feet of right-of-way. A narrower street section
could allow the construction of marginal access roadways (similar to frontage roads) to serve
businesses and residential uses along Park Road 22.
WATER AND WASTEWATER
POLICY STATEMENT F.11
Establish a public improvement district to finance construction of wastewater service lines to
platted properties along Park Road 22. A Public Improvement District would establish a cost
sharing mechanism between the City and property owners.
Exhibit A

G. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
During the formation of this Plan, staff found that there are many very active and energetic
organizations that exist on the island. Many of these organizations have diverse interests in the
island but the common thread between all of the organizations is that they are all very interested
in the island's future development. Some of these groups include the Padre Island Property
Owners Association, the Padre Island Business Association, the Sea Wall Owners, many
condominium associations, Schlitterbahn, and others.
POLICY STATEMENT G.1
This Plan constitutes the primary guide for the development and redevelopment of the
Mustang/Padre Island Area. The Plan provides the overall basis for which the City makes
determinations concerning zoning, capital improvement projects and improvements,
infrastructure improvements, and to a somewhat lesser degree building code issues.
POLICY STATEMENT G.2
The Mustang/Padre Island Strategic Action Committee has been established to implement this
Plan. The primary charge of this Committee is to aggressively pursue the implementation of this
Plan. The committee shall develop specific strategies for implementation of the Plan with
specific timelines to implement the respective strategies and a clear determination of which
agency or individual is responsible to implement specific projects or programs. The highest
priority projects for the Strategic Action Committee include:
A) Mustang/Padre Island Area Development Plan projects to be recommended for inclusion in
the next City Bond Program.
B) Implementation of sustainable new or additional funding sources for the Mustang- Padre
Island Area, i.e., Tax Increment Financing District, Municipal Management District, Public
Improvement District, or other mechanisms to fund projects. Identified funding sources
should be in place within 12 months of adoption of the Mustang/Padre Island Area Plan.
C) Annual input into the City's Capital Improvement Program.
D) State legislation pertaining to Island concerns.
E) Other appropriate areas of concern.
