Mayor Neai called the workshop to order in the Basement Training Room of City Hail. City
Secretary Chapa cailed the roll and verified that the necessary quorum of the Council was present
and the workshop had been duly posted.
City Manager Garcia said that previously staff had provided written information to the
Council about problems the Columbus Fleet Association (CFA) was having with maintaining their
operations and some of the financial problems that resulted in the closing of the exhibit. He said it
was important to understand the history of the Columbus ships and the financiai situation
surrounding them.
Mr. John Bell, a locai attomey representing the Columbus Fleet Association, explained that
on May 7, 1993, the CFA entered into an agreement with Sociedad Estatal (a Spanish government
commission) and the Spain '92 Foundation to locate the Columbus fleet replicas in Corpus Ch~sti.
Mr. Bell noted that Mr. Norman Wailace, CFA President, and Ms. Elida Ortiz, CFA Vice President,
were present at the workshop.
Mr. Bell said the agreement provided for a cash down payment of $1 million to Spain for a
50-year lease of the ships. The CFA also agreed to pay an additional $500,000 to Spain out of net
operating revenues. He said the CFA borrowed the $I million from a group of local banks. and that
loan was secured by all operating revenues of the association and guaranteed by the Devary Durrill
Foundation with a limited guaranty by Bud Smothers. An auxiliary agreement was signed by the
CFA, the Spain '92 Foundation and Sociedad Estatal recognizing the $1 million loan from the banks
and confuming that ail revenues of the association were first pledged to repay the loan. In addition,
the auxiliary agreement contained a provision in which Spain agreed not to remove the ships from
Corpus Christi until the loan was paid off.
Minutes
City Council Workshop
March 21, 2000

Mr. Bell said that in 1994 a barge operated by Dixie Carriers shuck the Columbus replicas,
which caused significant damage. Over a period of about eight months after the collision, a task
force was appointed by the Greater Corpus Christi Business Alliance under Mr. Alex Harris to
consider different ways to present the fleet. Consequently, the decision was made to develop the
Santa Maria Plaza next to the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History, and the city issued
$2.91 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds secured by hotel/motel taxes to build that plaTa He said
the intention at the fnne was also to build a marina adjacent to the plaTa~ but the funding proved to
be insufficient to do the entire project and the CFA was not able to secure additional grants.
Mr. Bell said that as part of the $2.91 million bond issue, the CFA entered into a 20-year
lease agreement with the city for the use of the Santa Maria Plaza, and the association agreed to pay
rent on the plaza equal to the bond payments. Mr. Bell explained that the CFA's primary debt is the
$1 million owed to the local banks plus additional funds borrowed from the Dun'ill Foundation;
CFA's obligation to pay the bonds is in the form of a lease obligation. In addition, the Alliance
amended its consuiting services agreement with the city in effect to guarantee that lease payment.
If the CFA was not able to make the lease payments, the Alliance authorized the deduction from its
hotel/motel tax revenues in an mount sufficient to pay the debt service on the bonds. And the CFA
agreed to reimburse the Alliance to the extent it ever had to make advances on its behalf.
He went on to say that conshuction of the Santa Maria Plaza was commenced in January
1995 and in March of that year, the CFA retained a local law finn to pursue a claim against Dixie
Carriers for damages to the Columbus fleet. Approximately $1.7 million was received in insurance
proceeds from the fleet' s own insurance company, Lloyd' s of London. He said the lawsuit was trying
to collect additional damages for interruption of business, loss of revenues, and other damages that
were not covered by the insurance proceeds. Mr. Bell said that through arbitration, Dixie Carriers
was ordered to pay $1.5 million, but that money was paid to Lloyd's of London as part of the
subrogation claim. The fleet only received the $1.7 million from Lloyd's of London.
Mr. Bell said the idea of the Santa Maria Plaza was to operate it as a restoration project in
progress, including hiring snipwrights. However, that restoration did not proceed as planned and in
1997 the CFA hired the original shipyard that built the vessels in Spain to come to Corpus Christi
and complete the restoration for about $340,000. He said the shipyard fully performed under their
contract to complete the restoration of the vessels. But the vessels were not able to be put into the
water since there was no place to display them in the water. Consequently, the items remaining were
to put the ballast in the vessels and to make them seaworthy. He said those tasks as well as hoisting
the ships into the water will cost a few hundred thousand dollars. Mr. Bell noted that Spain has
indicated their unhappiness that the ships are not in the water. He added that once the restoration was
completed, approximately $I00,000 of the $1.7 million was used to pay against the $1 million debt
exactly the way the agreement said it was to have been paid.
Responding to Mrs. Longoria, Mr. Bell and Mr. Dusty Durrill further explained financial
aspects associated with the Columbus snips, including additional monies borrowed from the Durrill
Minutes

aspects associated with the Columbus snips, including additional monies borrowed from the Durritl
Foundation. Mr. Bell provided the following breakdown of the finances: $798,000 (the remainder
of the $I million loan) owed to Frost Bank and the Dun'ill Foundation; $70,000 owed to Frost Bank
and the Smothers Foundation; $580,000 owed to the Durrill Foundation; and $500,000 for the
deferred payment to Spain, for a total of $1,948,000.
Mr. Garcia said that for staff' s presentation, they took the actual revenues and expenditures
of the Columbus Fleet Association for the most recent year (FY 1998-99). He said the Council asked
staff to go back and reconsider the costs to operate the ships on a minimal basis. Mr. G-arcia said the
revenue assumptions that were used were: eaicniating attendance at 71% of the 1998-99 level; basing
the fee structure on the 1998-99 schedule ($8 for adults and $4 for children); relocating the Niiia to
minimize competition; soliciting contributions by outside volunteers and groups; and having only
minimal marketing.
The City Manager then reviewed the following expenditure assumptions: eliminating the
administrative staff (required functions would be administered by museum staff); establishing
maintenance and marketing as the expenditure priorities; opening the exhibit six days per week (10
a.m.-5 p.m.); having volunteers and groups conduct fundraising and special events; maintaining the
funding of the plaza debt service from the hotel occupancy tax; and writing off all of the outstanding
notes. He said that given those assumptions, staff was able to develop a minimal operating budget
that drops the deficit to $28,287. Mr. Garcia and Mr. Rudy Garza, Assistant Budget Director, then
responded to Council members' questions regarding specific aspects of the revenue and expenditure
assumptions and the financial plan.
Responding to Mayor Neal, Mr. Bell said Spain has always maintained that they wanted to
retain ownership of the vessels, which would be leased under some sort of operating agreement with
an entity. He said currently the CFA has an agreement with Spain, wnich would have to be reworked
to provide that the ships would be operated by the City of Corpus Christi but there could still be a
non-profit organization between the city and Spain. Other options could be for the city to contract
directly with Spain, or a new corporation could be formed. Mr. Bell reiterated that Spain wants the
vessels back in the water, which would cost about $380,000.
Following additional discussion, Mr. Garcia pointed out that several deadlines with regard
to the ships have come and gone, which he explained. Mr. Bell said the situation is somewhat in a
stalemate now because Spain has expressed a desire to relocate the vessels and has tentatively
discussed the issue with Landry's Seafood Restaurants Inc. However, neither entity is ready to close
on that agreement until everything is settled in Corpus Christi. He said the CFA has used its
remaining dollars to maintain the insurance on the ships and to retain two employees to provide
maintenance on the vessels, but that money has been depleted.
In response to Council questions, Mr. Durrill said Spain is unwilling or unable to address the
money owed to the Dun'ill and Smothers foundations. He said the boats cannot be removed from
Minutes

Corpus Christi unless the lieus placed on them by the foundations are removed. Mr. Durrill said that
if the debts were forgiven and if the city could operate the ships under that scenario, he thinks it
should be considered. He also discussed options for placing the ships in the water and for a possible
marina location. He added that he thinks a smaller steering committee should be formed that could
conduct fundraising and special events for the ships.
Mr. Ram6n Hemandez said he and others have recently formed the non-profit Carabelas de
Colon Historical Foundation, which proposes to raise funds to benefit the Columbus ships. He said
their group consists of volunteers who are concerned about the ships and who have experience with
them. He said they intend to propose a multi-phase development that will enhance the marina and
which will probably involve forgiving the existing debt. He said they should be able to fmalize their
proposal in about a week. Mr. Wallace said people need to remember that the Columbus Fleet
Association is still in existence and that any action taken with regard to the ships has to be approved
by Spain.
A member of the Carabelas de Colon organization said the biggest mistake would be to give
the ships back to the museum because they are not in the water and they are rotting. Mrs. Longoria
pointed out that the City Council directed the City Manager to present a proposal on how the city
can retain the ships, which involves keeping them in their current location at the museum.
Mr. Colmenero encouraged the interested parties to continue to communicate with each
other. Mr. Hemandez said that regardless of who ends up getting the ships, they are deteriorating in
their current state. Mrs. Marie Woods said some short-term funds are needed to address the ships'
condition. Mr. Kinnison said he would be willing to support a group which had an agreement with
Spain and there was, for example, a per head cost from the museum to display the ships. However,
he said he would not support any plan that puts an operational burden on the city.
Mr. Scott asked Mr. Hemandez what his perception was of the relationship of the "Seeds of
Change" exhibit and the Columbus ships. Mr. Heroandez replied that he agreed there should be an
educational vehicle but he reiterated that the ships should be placed in the water and he encouraged
the Council to show leadership regarding this issue. Mr. Scott said that at some point in the past the
public was told that they would not have to pay for the operation of the ships. He also emphasized
the debt payment that remains.
Mr. Abel Alonzo said that when the Council members ran for office, they promised to
address the city's necessities, not luxuries. He also questioned why Mr. Harris was not present to
explain why the ships were in this financial situation. Mr. John Torrey, a member of the Carabelas
de Colon organization, said they feel that if the Columbus ships are managed properly, they can
sustain themselves. He said an investigation may show that money was spent unwisely in the past.
Dr. Gonzales said he would hate for the city to lose the ships, citing their popularity among
Hispamcs from South America and Latin America. He suggested that some Council members meet

with interested parties to find a solution. He added that he believes the ships should be in the water,
and while he acknowledges that mistakes were made, they need to move forward.
Mayor Neal said they have known for foar months that the ships were in trouble and the only
person who stepped forward was Mr. Durrill. He said in two weeks the money will nm out, the
insurance will be terminated, and someone will have to deal with the Spanish government to either
release the ships or an organization will have to come forward with a substantial amount of money.
He said neither the city nor the museam has any money for the ships.
Responding to Mr. Longoria, Mr. Bell said the Alliance's position is that their agreement is
terminated. Mr. Longoria said the city does not even have the funds it needs to make improvements
to the museam to protect its existing artifacts.
Following additional discussion, it was determined that a committee consisting of Dr.
Gonzales, Mrs. Longoria, Mr. Kinnlson and Mr. Colmenero would meet with interested persons
during the next week and place the item on the agenda for the March 281h Council meeting.
There being no further business to come before the Coancil, Mayor Neat adjourned the
Council workshop at 1:58 p.m. on March 21, 2000.

Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton St., discussed the issue of furniture at Fire Station No. 4. He said
he has talked to all three crews at the station and to Mr. Carlos Torres, President of the Firefighters
Union, about the situation. Council Member Garrett said he went to the fire station and he also talked
with Mr. Toms. He said the firefighters understand that the fumiture has been ordered. In addition,
they told him that they specifically build heavy-duty furniture since it receives so much wear.
Mr. Bill Braselton, 6038 Edgewater, said he is president ofBraselton Consm~ction Company,
which was founded in Corpus Christi in 1945 by his grandfather. He said that for 53 years their only
office was located in Corpus Christi; however, in the last two years, due to a lack of economic
growth in this city, he has been forced to open offices in Houston and San Antonio. He said he
supports the Council's efforts to encottrage growth here. A member of the Building Code Board of
Appeals, Mr. Braselton complimented the following city employees: John Kendall, Art Sosa, Angel
Escobar and David Seiler.
Ms. Gail HolTman, 3442 Paradise Dr., said she is executive director of Associated General
Contractors. She applauded the Cotmcil's recent appointments to the Economic Development
Corporation Board. She said the city must take aggressive steps to develop new business in Corpus
Christi.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, said state law requires that the city' s financial statement
be published by the end of November. He said the Council has been given several different dates
when that report will be available, the most recent date being March 28, 2000. He said there should
be accountability by the people responsible for it.
Mr. Steve Cervantes, 2214 Dorsey St., said he is president of Southern Contracting. He said
progress will not be made through bashing and badgering. He said he has always been treated
courteously by city employees. He said the Council is working to move the city forward.
Mr. Manuel Ugues, president of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. said they support the
Council's vote to place on the bond election ballot a l/Sth cent sales tax for economic development.
Mr. Bob Collier, 15806 Punta Espada, said he has lived on Padre Island for over 14 years and
he currently pays over $8,500 a year in property taxes. He said the Council has an opportunity to
improve the activity on Padre Island, which he supports.
Mr. Sam Beecroft, 144 Ropes, said he also wanted to express his appreciation to the Cotmcil
for their economic development efforts, and he agrees that the city has a good staff.
Mr. Gene Guemsey, 7522 Holly Road. said several positive events have been occurring, such
as the "Cash for Trash" program, the proposed I/Sth cent sales tax for economic development, and
the recent National League of Cities meeting in Washington, D.C., which some Council members
attended. Mr. Guernsey also referred to a traffic accident on FM 2444 that killed a young Corpus
Christi man. He encouraged the Council to exert their influence with others to make that road safer.

Mr. Abel Alonzo, 1701 Thames, said that initially he supported the Greater Corpus Christi
Business Alliance, but it was not diverse or efficient and it has since been divided into three separate
entities. He said in order for the Economic Development Corporation to be effective, it must be as
inclusive and diverse as possible.
Ms. Janice Meyer, 7002 Dunsford, said she is the owner and manager of B&R Supply. She
said she strongly supports economic development in Corpus Christi in order to expand the city's
economic base.
Ms. Becky Dumphy, executive director of the Corpus Christi Apea~tment Association, said
they have approximately 350 members who are owners, managers, and companies which provide
services to the rental and apartment industry in the city. She said they have a vested interest in the
community and they believe that job growth is crucial. She said they urge the Council to make
sensible job growth their priority.
Mr. Jon Buquet, 726 Ponder, executive director of the Coastal Bend New Car Dealers
Association, said the 18 area franchises which make up their association employ about 1,800
employees in the community. He said they support efforts to attract industry, increase tourism, and
improve the community for their children.
Mr. Trian Serbu, 14310 Playa del Rey, said that sales taxes are a regressive tax (falling
proportionately heavily on lower income persons) while property taxes are progressive. He said he
did not think any loans from the Utility Fund to other funds had ever been paid back. City Manager
Garcia said all such loans from the Utility Fund have been paid back with interest.
Mayor Neat called for consideration of the consent agenda (Items 2-6). There were no

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 8, North Padre Island storm damage reduction and
environmental restoration project.
City Manager Garcia said this project has been discussed for several years. In the recent
county bond election, the voters decided they did not want a tax increase to pay for the project. He
said city staff is proposing a way to implement the project without any kind of tax increase or
financial impact on anyone, even the property owners on Padre Island.
Utilizing a computer presentation, Mr. Garcia said it has become necessary to protect the
North Padre Island Seawall fxom storm-related beach erosion. The seawall itself provides flood
protection for the public facilities and infrastructure located behind it. Rebuilding Packcry Channel
through dredging and channelization will provide advance maintenance protection to the seawall by
creating a broad sand beach stretching from the channel jetties to a point south of the seawall.
The City Manager explained that this project was federally authorized by the Water
Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1999. The projeet's total cost is about $30 million, of
which the federal government will provide about $19.5 million. That leaves a balance of $10.5
million, which needs to be provided by a local resource in order to make the project happen.
Mr. Garcia then reviewed the preliminary capital cost estimates: dredging and sand
placement- $4.5 million; jetties- $12 million; jetty walk- $0.2 million; shoreline protection- $3
million; mitigation of public and environmental facilities- $4 million; design, engineering and
permitting- $2.3 million; and reserve for long-term maintenance- $4 million.
Mr. Garcia said both Senators Hutchinson and Gramm and Congressman Ortiz have been
insmental in moving this project through the congressional approval process. However, there is
a requirement to notify the Corps of Engineers that a local partner is willing to step forward to
provide the $10.5 million necessary to complete the financial package. He said staff is seeking the
Council's approval to proceed with the implementation of a tax increment financing (TIF) district,
and he used a map to describe the boundaries of the proposed district.
Mr. Garcia explained that within the financing zone, the tax rate remains the same as the rest
of the city. However, as property values in the zone increase over time, that appreciated value would
go to meet the financial obligation Ii3r the bonds that are issued. He said this redevelopmerit tool has
been used successfully around the country and locally to pay for the Texas State Aquarium. He said
some of the requirements associated with this project include notification to other governmental
entities about the city's intentions and the project plan; public hearings on the creation of the zone;
appointment of a board of directors by the City Council: and levying of the tax in fiscal year 2001.
He noted that there is a state limit of 20 years on tax increment zones within which the city
has to defer the initial financial investment. Historically, such districts have been successfully
developed and therefore have been able to pay back their notes substantially sooner than 20 years.
He said this project should be viewed as a short-term investment by the city in order to create a
Minutes

positive environment on the island that will result in a major increase of assets for the community.
Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Garcia said the creation of the TIF district
is the only financing mechanism which would not require a tax increase or would require taking
money away from existing projects.
Council Member GonTales said this is a tremendous economic development project and will
benefit not only Corpus Chfisti but the whole ragion. He said Corpus Christi needs to start thinking
as a community so that it can compete with Austin, San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley.
Council Member Scott asked how this proposed TIF differs from the one established for the
Texas State Aquarium several years ago. Mr. Garcia said the aquarium bonds were guaranteed and
backed by the City of Corpus Christi. The bonds for this project, on the other hand, will not be
backed by the city. He explained that the bond holders will pay the city $10.5 million in anticipation
of the appreciating property values, which will be the basis the bonds are paid back on.
Council Member Garrett asked if the three "finger" projections in that area are included in
the TIF zone; Mr. Garcia said they were. Mr. Garrett noted that there are several residences located
on the first finger projection and he asked staff to consider adjusting the boundaries to exclude them.
Mayor Neal called for comments from the audience.
Nueces County Commissioner Joe MeComb said this project has been in the planning stages
for quite a while. He said he was lending his support to it both as an individual citizen and as an
elected official. He said this project has been well thought out and received a peer review from the
General Land Office of Texas. He said it will stimulate the economy and create jobs.
Mr. Abel Alonzo said there needs to be assurance that minority contractors will have the
opportunity to participate in projects such as these. Dr. Gonzales said that during the Council's
recent conference in Washington, they talked with Senators Grarnm and Hutchinson about the
importance of minority and women contractors,
Ms. Elizabeth Walker, 13969 Das Marinas, said she is a professional photographer whose
photographs have been used not only to promote Padre Island throughout the state but to benefit the
island's natural resources and species as well. She said the TIF zone will benefit the city for years.
Mr. John Ulbricht, said he is chief operating officer of Corpus Cluisti Medical Center, which
is a major employer in the community. He said the TIF zone will be an economic catalyst and will
help retain graduates from this area.
Mr. Gene Knight, director of the Padre Isles Property Owners Association (PIPOA), said this
project pares the benefits to the risk; i.e., the people buying the bonds who will benefit from the
project are the ones taking the risk if the bonds fail. With regard to the environmental impact. he said

the time will come that fresh gulf water will have to be introduced into the 34 miles of canals and
into the Laguna Madre to offset the population load. He also discussed growth on the island.
Mr. Bill Goin, 15233 Isabella, president of the Padre Island Business Association, said he
supports Items 8.a~ and 8.b. and he complimented Mr. Scott for his persistence in keeping this project
alive. He thanked the Council for appointing him to the Convention and Visitors Bureau Board.
Mr. Harold Brown, 6617 Meadowbreeze, said he is not a member of the Taxpayers
Association. He said he believes the Council will almost guarantee defeat of the bond issue being
planned if they support the Packcry Channel dredging project. He said the city needs the bond issue
and economic development.
Ms. Barbara Balmer, president of the Hotel/Motel/Condominium Association and general
manager of Red Roof Inn on SPID, said they support the Conncit's efforts, particularly with regard
to Packery Channel. She said they hope all necessary environmental studies will be completed before
proceeding with that project.
Mr. Foster Edwards, CEO of the Corpus Chfisti Association of Realtom, said they are very
supportive of this project. He acknowledged that there will be people opposed to the project, but he
hopes the Council supports it nonetheless. He asked the people who were present who support the
project to stand and be recognized.
Mr. Duke Bonilla, president of the Corpus Christi Chapter of the Coastal Conservation
Association, said that on behalf of their 5,000 local members and over 50,000 members statewide,
they enthusiastically endorse and support this project because it is good for the environment,
wildlife. and for Corpus Christi. He also discussed the increase in the popularity of saltwater fishing.
Mrs. Pat Surer, 1002 Charnbe~ain, said she will continue to voice her opposition to Packery
Channel, saying the environmental issues have not been addressed. She said that on several
occasions citizens have had an opportunity to cast votes concerning Packery Channel and each time
they have been negative votes. She asked if the city will be liable for any accidents that will occur
because the current design is unsafe. She also asked who will pay for hurricane damage as well as
who will pay to maintain the channel. City Attorney Bray said staff will provide answers to Mrs.
Suter's questions.
Mr. Sam Wigginton said that while this is not a cure-all for the area's economy, it is a step
in the right direction. He said he lives in District 5 and he and other residents are very supportive of
this project. He said years ago he was a fishing guide and he believes this project and the elevation
of the JFK Causeway will improve the ecosystem and flow of water in the Laguna Madre.
Mr. Tom Niskaia, CEO of the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commeme, said that last week the
board of directors of the Chamber passed a resolution in support of the North Padre Island storm
damage reduction and environmental restoration project, which he described.

Mr. Bradley Meyers, secretary of the board of the Builders Association for the Cotpus Christi
Area, said they support this project.
Mr. Trian Serbu said that almost $400 million has to occur in the TIF zone in order to retire
the bonds and pay for maintenance of Packcry Channel. He said the public voted against this project
twice and this is an example of the Council proceeding with a project that the public opposes. Mr.
Tom Utter, Assistant City Manager for Development Services, explained that $10.5 million in bonds
would require about $1 million in annual debt service. He said if the county and city joined together,
over $100 million worth of development would fully support it. He added that there is $4 million
dedicated to support maintenance of Packery Channel.
Mr. James Cook, 13765 Eagles Nest Bay Dr., said he supports the project if the Council has
all the details to support it. He suggested the Council wait a week to gather more input since there
are still some questions. Mayor Neat said the Council was only voting that day to authorize staff to
proceed with the process.
Ms. Linda Strong, 15905 Punta Espada, encouraged the Council to support this project. She
said that when she was elected to the City Council in 1985, there was a proposal to dredge Packcry
Channel; however, for many reasons, it was not feasible at that time. She said she thinks this
proposal will be worthwhile for the island and for the city.
Mr. Randy Ferrell, a member of the board of the Builders Association, said the association
supports this project.
Ms. Char Beltran, CEO of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the Padre Island
National Seashore is the number one draw that brings tourists here. She said the opening of Packcry
Channel and the related development can increase the city' s tourism industry from $560 million a
year to $I billion in direct expenditures. She said the CVB board passed a resolution in support.
Mr. Scott Elliff, 929 Driftwood, said he lives and does business in Cotpus Ch~sti because
he loves this city, and he wants his 12-year-old son to have the opportunity to do the same. He said
this project can benefit the entire region and he hopes the Council unanimously supports it.
Mr. Roland Barrera spoke on behalf of the Hispanic Contractors Association. He said they
are excited about the Council's effort to improve economic development.
Mr. JeffFrahm, 13501 Royal Fifth Court, said all of the environmental assessment studies
that have been done have been favorable. He said this project is feasible for the following reasons:
it will protect the seawall and. in turn. the property behind the seawall from hurricanes: the city is
not guaranteeing the bonds; and there is a long-term plan for maintaining the channel.
Mr. Gary Graham said he first moved to the island 26 years ago and he has two commercial
buildings and two businesses in the middle of the proposed TIF zone. He said he has a financial
Minutes

interest in the zone and he feels it will benefit the city.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien said that for about 20 years the Taxpayers Association has opposed the
opening of Packery Channel for many reasons. He said they will take their official position at a later
time. Speaking for himself, Mr. O'Brien said this Council' s lack of credibility in the community will
make it very difficult for this proposal to succeed. He said past attempts to form a TIF zone failed
and he believes this attempt will fail as well. Responding to Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Garcia said the
annexation estimates were based on current property tax revenues, which will remain constant.
Mr. R.F. Hasker said he has been fishing in this area for many years. He criticized this
proposal and said the channel should not be dredged at the Packcry location but at Fish Pass. In
response to Mr. Colmenero, Mr. Garcia said the costs include the initial dredging cost of Packery
Channel as well as funds for its ongoing maintenance. He also reiterated the concept associated with
the TIF zone.
Mr. Gene Guemsey said the Padre Isles subdivision is very valuable to the taxing entities of
Nueces County and Corpus Christi, and it should be protected. He said he believes that FEMA
standards for flood insurance are based on the integrity of the Padre Island seawall, which will be
improved with this project.
Mr. Foster Edwards said the people who are opposed to this project have a fight to voice their
opposition, but he encouraged the Council to listen to the will of the majority who support it.
Mr. John Bell, 13750 Primavera, said the TIF district by law will not include the residential
areas of Padre island. He said the increased tax valuation is not based on improvements already in
place but rather on increased valuations generated by new construction. He said he supports this
project.
Council Member Kinnison asked several questions about the TIF zone and this project. In
response, Mr. Garcia said the Water Resources Development Act requires that the Corps of
Engineers conduct two studies (which have not yet been undertaken): to determine if the project is
environmentally acceptable, and to determine if it is technically sound. Mr. Utter discussed beach
replenishment costs and Mr. Garcia discussed the channel maintenance fund. He said they intend to
ask the city's bond counsel what could be the potential spillover effect on the city's rating or its
ability to issue other bonds if these bonds were to fail. He said costs associated with the issuance of
the bonds will be rolled into the cost of the bonds themselves. Mr. Garcia also further discussed the
tax increment financing flow chart and deadlines for meeting certain requirements. Mr. Bray outlined
the findings required by state law.
Mr. Kinnison reviewed the many steps that must occur for this project to come to fruition.
He said he conducted his own economic study and concluded that this is an economically viable
project. He said the Council has a responsibility to go out to the public and sell this project as well
as the bond election.

Mr. Scott said he supports this project for three reasons: it will protect the seawail which
protects the property rights on the island; it will provide more jobs; and it does not increase taxes.
He cited several statistics about the poor job growth rate in Corpus Christi. He added that there are
severai checks and baiances throughout this process, particularly with regard to environmental
impacts.
Council Member John Longoria said this pmposai is good for the district and for the whole
city. He said there will be many oppommities to comment on the specifies of the plan. Council
Member Betty Jean Longofia said she is very supportive of this project, which will improve
economic development in this area. At the same time, she encouraged citizens to aiso support the
upcoming bond issue, which will benefit the city' s economic outlook. She asked everyone to fill out
their Census 2000 forms which impacts the quality of life in Corpus Christi.
Dr. Gonzaies said they need to move forward, and Mr. Colmenero asked those present to
continue to garner support for this project throughout the community.

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 10, Leopard Street Phase 3 improvements. He called
for comments from the audience.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien said it is still his contention that this practice of loaning money violates the
City Charter. He said that in 1986 the voters of Corpus Christi approved approximately $49.9 million
for street projects, including funds for McArdle Road and Leopard Street. He questioned why the
city keeps borrowing money from the Utility Fund, and he wondered how much money the city
currently has in the Street Bond Fund that is unencumbered. He said he believes it is over $4 million.
City Manager Garcia said the projects Mr. O'Brien indicated essentially involve over 50
separate street projects in various stages of completion. Deputy City Manager Noe said that before
they finalize the 1986 bond program. staff will find any unexpended balances in any of those projects
and meet with the Council before they issue the certificates of obligation (scheduled for this
summer). City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

for comments from the audience.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien said it is still his contention that this ordinance will violate the City Charter.
He questioned why the Council would drain money from the Utility Department when there is a
balance in the Street Bond Fund. He said he opposes this item. Mr. Garcia said the money in the
Street Bond Fund is spread over 50 different projects. He said it is incorrect to say that those are

Mayor Neal referred to the presentations on the day's agenda.
The first presentation (Item 12) was a status report on the Crime Control and Prevention
District and the Juvenile Assessment Center. Police Commander Bryan Smith. Coordinator of the
Crime Control District, said that currently there are another 15 officers in the field training program.
Minutes
Regular Council Meeting
March 21, 2000
Page 15
In August they will be fully operational, at which time the number of officers working under the
Crime Control District will double to a total of 30 officers. They will be utilized in several areas,
such as directed patrol, traffic section, bicycle unit, and walking motors unit. In February 2001
another 10 officers will be added, followed by the final 10 officers in February 2002.
Cmdr. Smith provided updates on the following programs funded through the Crime Control
District. He said that as a result of the Campus Crime Stoppers Program, eight dangerous weapons,
28 dangerous drugs, and four chug paraphernalia items were removed from Corpus Christi-area high
schools. He also further explained the process involved with the Campus Crime Stoppers Program.
With regard to the pawn shop detail, Cmdr. Smith said three civilians were hired and the unit
recovered 603 items with a total value of $342,685, which is an increase of $282,685 over the
previous year. Last year the unit helped solve 348 property crime cases.
Cmdr. Smith also reported that 60 drunk drivers have been taken off the street as a result of
overtime used from the Crime Control District for DWI/traffm enforcement. He said the increase in
enforcement coincides with a 24% decrease in fatality accidents last year. The police commander
said there are still four Citizen Advisory Councils (CACs), but more will be added when the directed
patrol officers go on line. With regard to street lighting, he said about $12,000 has been spent to
upgrade the current lighting. As more CACs are formed, more money will be spent on improving
street lighting in specific areas. Responding to Mrs. Longoria, Cmdr. Smith said the four CACs are
at West Oso, Hamlin, Cunningham, and Martin.
The District Coordinator said the Crime Control District budget process for FY 2000-01 is
on track and a public hearing is scheduled for April 19, 2000. He also discussed ways in which they
have been raising public awareness about the district's activities.
Council Member Garrett asked what percentage of traffic fatalities are alcohol-related. Cmdr.
Smith replied that it is roughly between 64% to 70%. He said the goal of the Crime Control District
is not just to stop crime but also to improve the quality of life for citizens. Mrs. Longoria asked when
a CAC can be established on the north side. Cmdr. Smith replied that the first CACs were
established through input from existing Neighbors on Watch groups. He said he is working with Mr.
George Hodge to increase the cooperation between the Weed and Seed program and the Crime
Control District on the north side. Mrs. Longoria also requested information about the area around
Lamar Elementary on 19th Street.
Mr. Dan Whitworth, Assistant Director of Park and Recreation, then discussed the Juvenile
Assessment Center, which was created in September 1999 by combining the Truancy Reduction
Impact Program and the Corona Curfew Center. The Juvenile Assessment Center serves as a
temporary holding facility for juveniles arrested for daytime or nighttime curfew violations. He said
the center opened with partial staffing consisting of the program director, one case manager, two
intake specialists, and one clerk. The center will go to full staffing levels after August 2000, resulting
in four case managers and three intake specialists.
Minutes
Regular Council Meeting
March 21, 2000
Page 16
Mr. Whitworth said that in the six months of operation detailed in the report, the center has
had 470 youth go through their doors. When a youth reaches the center, the intake specialist conducts
an initial interview and based upon those results, a plan of action is determined. He said the center
has processed twice as many males as females and the largest number of juveniles are 15- and 16-
year-olds. With regard to recidivism, the clients who come to the center only once make up the bulk
of those served.
Mr. Whitworth explained that the case management services are voluntary and involve both
the youth and their families. The center itself does not provide direct services but refers clients to
agencies offering services. The case manager follows up with the family and the service providers
on a biweekly basis and at the end of three months the case is evaluated to determine if the goals
have been met or if there is a need to continue the process. He said the center has partnerships with
the Park and Recreation Depaxhnent, Police Department, school districts, referral agencies, and the
judicial system, and they are working to determine the best method of sharing information.
Responding to Mayor Neat, Mr. Whitworth said they are working with Ms. Linda Bridges,
CCISD Superintendent Abe Saavedra, and Ms. Pat Eldridge at the Police Department to share
information regarding truancy violations, which he and Cmdr. Smith explained.
Council Member John Longoria discussed the importance of studying the justification for
this program, particularly with regard to the number of clients the center serves. Mr. Cisneros
pointed out that the statistics reflect the assessment center's activity from September 1999 to
February 2000. Mr. Whitworth noted that case management involves a three-month process per case
and the center has some staffing limitations at this time.
A discussion ensued about the schools experiencing higher numbers of truants and
delinquents. Cmdr. Smith said that at the end of one year they intend to collect the data to study the
reasons why the youth are becoming delinquent. He said their goal is to intervene at the delinquency
stage to make a positive change in the lives of those youths and prevent them from going on to
become criminals.
In response to another question from Mr. Longoria, Ms. Mariah Boone, Program Manager
of the assessment center, said the center's intake hours are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on school days and
from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day. She said that if a youth is going to be at the center past 3 p.m. and
they are not on probation or parole, the center's staff contacts the youth's parents. If the parents
cannot be located, the youth goes to La Raza, which provides shelter to children. Cmdr. Smith said
that typically a parent can be located; however, he said the key is the services that are provided after
the youth is processed at the center.
Council Member Colmenero asked about other individuals that the youth are released to. Ms.
Boone said they are other relatives, such as a grandmother. He also asked about youth involved with
drugs or alcohol. Ms. Boone replied that the center usually tries to refer them to agencies which
specialize in those areas, such as the Council on Alcohol and Drag Abuse and Palmer Drug Abuse

Program. She added that if they are in possession of an illegal substance, the center does not process
them--they would go to the Juvenile Detention Center. There was also a brief discussion regarding
youth from specific ZIP code areas. Cmdr. Smith said this prevention program is proving to be cost-
effective compared to the cost of housing a criminal.
The second presentation (Item 13) was regarding the city's emergency preparedness plan,
including the establishment of refuges of last resort. City Manager Garcia said that following
Hurricane Bret last August, staff has been working over the last several months on improving the
city' s response to future hurricanes. He said the Council specifically directed staff to investigate
shelters (refuges of last resort).
Mr. Garcia said several task forces have been preparing the report that was being presented
to the Council that day. Assistant City Manager Jorge Garza chaired the staff's task force, which
worked very closely with Mr. Juan Ortiz, Assistant Emergency Management Coordinator. They also
worked with Ms. Linda Watson, General Manager of the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA);
Mr. Lamont Taylor, also with the RTA; Capt. John Galvan with the Depa~hnent of Public Safety;
Mr. Randy Sijansky, regional liaison officer for the State Office of Emergency Management; Mr.
Glen Sullivan, Texas Depatmxent of Transportation (TXDOT); Ms. Judy Oestreich, American Red
Cross; and Major Ernest Branscum, Commanding Officer of the Salvation Army.
Utilizing a computer presentation, Mr. Ortiz described the city's emergency preparedness
plan. He said the plan focuses on six major areas: public education; citizen information hotline;
hurricane evacuation routes; assisted humcane evacuation; shelters for essential city employees; and
the refuge of last resort program.
With regard to public education, Mr. Ortiz said they will continue to emphasize that
evacuation is still the safest response to a humcane. He said their educational program will discuss
evacuation procedures, routes, and destinations, and will take the form of public service
announcements on radio, television and in the newspaper; utility bill inserts; and question and
answer programs. He said a phone bank will be established at the Utilities Business Office to provide
updated information about several different issues. Mr. Ortiz said that six evacuation routes have
been identified: IH-37, FM 624, Hwy. 44 (Agnes), Hwy. 286 (Ayers), FM 70 (Weber), and FM 2444
(Staples). He said a new evacuation route map has been designed, which divides the city into
different zones.
Mr. Ortiz then discussed the assisted hurricane evacuation program, the goal of which is to
evacuate 5,000 citizens who do not have the ability to evacuate on their own. The program involves
shuttling people on RTA buses from RTA bus stops to Cabaniss Field. There citizens will be
registered and then evacuated from Cabaniss Field to San Antonio on school buses. In response to
Council members' questions, Mr. Garqia, Mr. Ortiz, and Ms. Watson discussed specific aspects of
the assisted evacuation program.

The next issue discussed was the establishment of shelters for essential city employees. Mr.
Garcia said it is important for people to understand why the city differentiates the employee shelters
from the regular public shelters: it is due to timing. He said there are a number of employees who
cannot evacuate because they are essential and their families cannot evacuate for a number of masons
(they are single parents, they only have one vehicle, etc.). He said in order for those employees to
report to work, they need to have some assurance that their families are being dealt with. The timing
is important because the essential employees will be activated as much as a day before the final call
goes in to open shelters and for everyone to take cover. Mr. Ortiz said those shelters will be staffed
by city employees and will involve a pre-enrollment process.
Mr. Ortiz then described the refuge of last resort program, which is modeled after the
American Red Cross model. He said the refuges need to have enough provisions for 96 hours and
will require identifying 400 additional essential city employees to staff both the city shelters and the
refuges of last resort. He said the American Red Cross model for shelters consists of the following
major functions: registration, food, water, and supplies, facility management, security,
communications, recreation, and facilitating transfer to the Red Cross.
Responding to Mr. Garrett, Ms. Oestreich explained that the majority of the American Red
Cross volunteers who live in this area will evacuate prior to a hurricane. And the volunteers who will
come from throughout the country will not arrive until several hours after the storm; consequently,
they are instructed to hang on for 72 hours with local resources. In addition, the Red Cross will
provide shelters in San Antonio and will help train the 400 city employees who will be manning the
shelters here.
Mr. Ortiz said other considerations include assessing shelter sites; releasing public
disclaimers about what the facilities are and are not intended to do; working with police and EMS
personnel to ensure that the shelters are staffed; and preparing memos of understanding for
contractors and community partners.
With regard to costs, Mr. Ortiz said staff estimates that it will cost $62,035 to operate each
refuge of last resort for 96 hours, including CCISD's costs for the facility, maintenance staff and
custodial staff. Consequently, the cost for 15 sites is $930.525, plus the cost for a special needs
shelter ($67,307), which comes to $997,832. Mr. Garcia said those costs will be subject to
reimbursement by FEMA at about 75% based on the city's ability to document the costs and submit
claims. Mr. Garcia added that costs will be incurred to prepare for these programs, such as buying
supplies and training, which have yet to be identified.
Mayor Neat pointed out that once the decision is made to adopt this plan, the city is obligated
to open all 16 refuges of last resort--which must be fully staffed and stocked with supplies--whether
they are filled up or not. City Attorney Bray said that even though he is awaiting the final decision
from CCISD on the liability issue regarding the shelters, by taking on the full operational
responsibility for them the city is also taking on the liability of them. In addition, there is liability
associated with using CCISD's buses to shuttle people to San Antonio. Ms. Watson said they will

bill FEMA for any transportation-related costs. Mr. Garcia pointed out that these costs do not include
the city's existing plan involving public works crews, police officers, firefighters, etc.
Mrs. Longoria asked about the question of opening all the lanes of IH-37 to northbound
traffic. Capt. Galvan said a final decision has not yet been made. They are still working with
TXDOT, city, and state officials on preliminary plans. He said they are in the process of conducting
traffic models for various scenarios to accommodate the contmflow oftraffc. Mr. Sullivan discussed
specific computer models that are being developed, which he said they intend to present to the
Council and to the Commissioners Court. Mr. Garrett pointed out that closing the southbound lanes
will not be an easy task, and Capt. Oatvan continned that safety is a major concern. He and Mr.
Sullivan also discussed the issue of what will be the window of opportunity for closing the lanes.
Mr. Colmenero discussed several aspects of the plan, including the evacuation routes,
educating the public, utilizing the media, rationing, capacity of the buses, San Antonio centers, local
shelter sites, and other issues.
Responding to Mayor Neat~ Mr. Garcia said staff will be bringing the plan back in 30 days.
The third presentation (Item 14) discussed the request for proposals for a third municipal golf
facility. Mr. Cisneros reviewed the actions that have been taken to date. He said the Council
identified the need for a third golf facility during their retreat on May 4-5, 1999, and on May 18th
a Council workshop was held in which the facility was deemed a priority issue. On October 19th
staff gave the Council an update on the process of acquiring a golf facility, and on November 15th
the request for interest packets were issued to golf facility development teams, with a response date
of January 17, 2000.
Mr. Cisneros said the draft request for proposals (RFPs) includes the city's philosophy for
a third golf facility: "To lease property in consideration for the financing, design, construction and
management of a third municipal golf facility for the city." He said the lease would involve a
maximum 40-year tenn. With regard to the RFPs, a due date will be established followed by staff
review and a recommendation of a finalist, who will give a presentation of his proposal to the
Council. Contract negotiations will then follow and a final agreement will be brought to the Council
for their approval.
Responding to Dr. Gonzales, Mr. Cisneros said the revenues can take many forms, such as
a straight lease, a sharing of actual rounds. sharing of pro shop revenues. or sharing of concession
revenues. Dr. Gonzales also asked about the nine-hole extension at the Oso Golf Course. Mr.
Cisneros said staff had recommended that that project be included in the bond issue but it did not
make the final cut of projects. Dr. Gonzales said if there is enough interest for the nine-hole golf
course project, he will push for it. Mr. Cisneros said that 19 companies expressed an interest in the
third golf facility proposal, and staff believes that about half of those will respond to the RFP.

The Council asked how to proceed with this matter. Staff indicated that they would like to
proceed with the RFP process. There was no opposition from the Council to staff's request to
proceed with the RFP process and to issue the RFP packets to the interested development teams.
The fourth presentation (Item 15) was regarding the Senior Community Services (SCS)
central kitchen facilities renovation project. Mr. Whitworth said that for many years the SCS meal
preparation has taken place at the old Washington school site on Sam Rankin Street. He said the
senior population in Corpus Cbzisti is grong and the demand for services is expected to increase.
Last year the Council authorized a site study funded through the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) program. As a result, CotterffLandreth Architects Inc. was retained to evaluate the
best location for a new central kitchen facility. The funding for construction of that facility is
included in this year's CDBG requests.
Mr. Johnny Cotten gave a computer presentation about the study that was developed. He
referred to a map illustrating the location in the city of each SCS client (over 4,000), which showed
that many of the clients are clustered along the Crosstown Expressway corridor. He said they divided
the city into sectors and then looked at 25 various sites throughout the city, taking into account
several criteria for each site.
Mr. Cotten said the top three sites selected were the Garcia Elementary School on
Greenwood, the City Service Center at Holly and Ayers, and on Del Mar West campus, next door
to the college' s Hospitality Management Center. He said their first choice is the Del Mar location
because it has excellent accessibility for transport vehicles, plenty of parking and land for future
expansion, and can utilize the services of the students in the Hospitality Management program. He
also discussed the limitations of the existing central kitchen site, such as the fact that it belongs to
CCISD; has limited accessibility and no parking; extensive renovations would be required: and it
has limited room for future expansion.
Mr. Cotten said the proposed 5,200-square foot Del Mar facility is estimated to cost
$828,000, while renovating the existing facility is estimated to cost $1.017 million. He said they
were recommending the Del Mar site and were seeking the Council's concurrence to negotiate a
long-term lease for that location. He said should they be unable to successfully negotiate that lease,
they will move forward with construction at the Service Center location. In addition, they would like
to proceed with retaining the architect and engineers for the building and construction.
Mrs. Longoria asked if the city had any services to exchange with Del Mar. Mr. Cisneros said
they plan to offer many ways to contribute to Del Mar's growth and curriculum, including
intemships with the students and use of the facility by Del Mar during the evening. Mrs. Longoria
said she had hoped to keep the existing central kitchen facility open to maintain a viable business
on the north side; however, the renovation costs would be too high. Mr. Longoria said he did not
want to leave the old Washington school vacant but to either provide monies to tear it down or

ensure that it remains useful. Mr. Whirworth said they would need to discuss that with CCISD.
Mr. Garcia reiterated that this project is contingent upon receiving $700,000 for construction
through the FY 2000-01 CDBG program, which the Council will consider in a few months. Mr.
Cisneros pointed out that the Planning Commission has already included that project in its
recommendation for CDBG funding.
There was consensus of the Council to direct staff to proceed with the Del Mar site for the
central kitchen facility.
Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia said a joint meeting with the
Planning Commission is set for April 18th. The Council retreat is scheduled for May 2rid. Mayor
Neat called for Council concerns and reports.
Dr. Gonzales asked staff if there was a way to assist with funding for the Joe Garza
community pool summer program. Mr. Whitworth said staff is in the process of identifying some
Weed and Seed prior year funding to pay for that program.
Mr. Scott asked about the public hearing dates for the bond issue. City Secretary Chapa said
Mr. Kinnison asked that a site be added on the south side. There was consensus of the Council to add
a southside site. Mr. Chapa noted that the hearing will have to be held on a date other than a Tuesday
before the end of May. He added that the May 17th hearing will be held at Flour Bluff High School
and the May 22nd hearing will be held at the Bayfront Convention Center.
Dr. Gonzales said some Council members attended the National League of Cities
Congressional City Conference in Washington, D.C., last week. He said he and Mr. Scott presented
a successful proposal to host the NLC Haman Development Steering Committee in Corpus Christi
June 8 and 9. They also visited with the city's lobbyists and were accompanied by several youth from
the YOU organization.
Mr. Scott said that last week he attended the Tex 21 meeting, which is a group of statewide
officials who are interested in acquiring additional transportation funds for individual Texas cities.
He said that group has open meeting dates in October and November, and he asked to work with the
Mayor on possibly hosting one of those meetings at the port' s new conference center.
Mr. Longoria suggested that the Council's Administrative Analysis Committee begin meeting
once a month. He also said that the NLC suggested that entities from a particular city work together
to request federal funds. Mr. Longoria asked Mayor Neat to consider appointing a legislative
committee to help draft four items they would like to address in order to work with other government
entities to reach a consensus. The Mayor said Mr. Utter is working with a large-cities group at this
time to develop a format to do exactly what Mr. Longoria is talking about. A brief discussion ensued
Minutes

and it was concluded that the Council will continue to discuss it at their upcoming retreat.
Mr. Longoria also discussed the proposed plans for the an museum expansion. Mr. Garcia
noted that the arena and convention center expansion is being developed legether, and there are
many opportunities there. He said staff can schedule a presentation by the an museum at a future
meeting. Mr. Colmenero suggested that the port also be invited to give a presentation on their
expansion plans, and he said the Columbus ships committee needs to meet soon. He also asked staff
to keep the Council apprised about the downtown flooding issue.
Mrs. Longoria thanked Dr. GonTales and Mr. Scott for making the presentation to the Human
Development Steering Committee in her absence, and she thanked Ms. Mary Juarez, Assistant City
Secretary, and Ms. Susan Cable, Director of Communications and Quality Management, for their
efforts in that regard. She also complimented Ms. Juarez, Ms. Rebecca Huena, and Ms. Yvoune
Hang for providing information for her trip to Peru, which she explained.
Mayor Neat pointed out that the Council voted unanimously on the bond package and he did
not want the public to get the impression that they are going to change the bond package. Dr.
Go~Tales said he thought they should be open to the public's input. Mrs. Longoria said they had a
town hall meeting in the northwest following the vote on the bond package, and several questious
were raised about the Northwest Branch Library expansion, which was not included in the bond
package. Mr. Longoria said every section of the city will have specific projects that they want. The
Mayor said there was much criticism about the ABC bond proposal in November 1997, which failed.
Dr. Gonzales said he wanted the community to know that this will be an open process. Mr. Kinnison
said that 40 people expressing suppott for a particular project is not indicative of widespread support.
There being no further business to come before the Council. Mayor Neal adjourned the
Council meeting at 8:15 p.m. on March 21, 2000.

BACKGROUND
SUBJECT: Up River Road Drainage improvements - Navigation Boulevard to McBride
Lane (Project No. 2015)
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
July 29, 1999: Approval of FY 1999-2000 Capital Budget (Ordinance No. 023703).
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Approval of Cooperative Agreements with Nueces County, Union Pacific Railroad,
Coastal States Refinery and Marketing, and the Port of Corpus Chdsti Authority.
2. Approval of amendments to the engineering contract for Stage 2 Services.
3. Approval of construction contracts.
PROJECT OVERVIEW: Proposed improvements involve upgrading the drainage system
on Up River Road and the outfall ditch which runs through Coastal States Refinery, Port of
Corpus Christi Authority property, and Union Pacific Railroad structures. Because of its
location, the project will impact Nueces County, Union Pacific Railroad, Coastal States
Refinery and Marketing, and the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, requiring a cooperative
agreement prior to the construction phase. Independent drainage studies have been
commissioned by the Coastal Quintana Plant, Coastal States Refinery & Marketing, Inc.,
and the Port of Corpus Christi Authority.
Under Stage 1 services, the Engineer will explore remediation options and determine the
best plan to improve drainage and reduce backwater effects of standing water to the east of
Navigation Boulevard. Stage 2 services, design, bid, and construction phases, will not be
initiated unless so authorized by the Director of Engineering Services.
A/E SELECTION: Request for Qualifications, RFQ No. 99-01 (Streets, Storm Water,
Wastewater, and Water improvements Projects) was distributed on July g,1999 to 109
engineering firms (41 local and 68 non local). Seven firms responded to the request with
qualifications:
· BHP Engineering
· Goldston Engineering
· Govind & Associates, Inc.
· HDPJSimpson Engineering, Inc.
· Martinez, Guy & Maybik, Inc.
· Naismith Engineering

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: March 28, 2000)
Case No. 0200-04, Yellow Rose Convention Center: A change of zoning from a "B-3" Business
District to an "I-2" Light Indusuial Disu'ict on South Santoga Acres, Block 1; being the south 630 feet of Lot 6,
located approximately 630 feet south of Saratoga Boulevard, approximately 600 feet west of Crosstown
Expressway Extension.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation: Approvetithe "I-2" District.
Requested Council Action: Approval of the "I-2" District and adoption of the attached ordinance.
PurooseofReauest: For outdoor ~ea market.
Summary: The applicant is requesting a change of zoning from a "B-3" Business District to an "I-2" Light
Industrial District in order to develop the subject property with an open air flea market. An open air flea market is
not permitted in the "B-3" District because outside retail sales are not permitted unless associated with an existing
on-site retail establishment. This flea market will be located at the rear of the lot and behind an existing dance hall
and radio broadcasting station. Access to the subject properly will be from Santoga Boulevard, an arterial, without
traversing a residential area and the parking will be located on the existing parking lot in front of the dance hall and
radio station. The subject property is under the Navy's Accident Potential Zone I (APZ-1) which discourages
housing and lodging. The existing "B-3" District permits hotel and motel uses, whereas the "I-2" District does not.
The requested "I-2" Dis/xict is more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and APZ zone, and is also an
expansion of the "I-2" District adjacent to the east. The uses permitted in the "I-2" District would not adversely
impact the adjacent area to the south and west since it is farmland.
Avolicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Staff and PIning Commission's recommendation.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, nine (9) notices were mailed to the property owners within a
200-foot radius, of which none were retomed in favor or in opposition.

average weekday vehicle trip ends (peak time on Saturday).
Adjacent Streets/Classification:
a) Saratoga Boulevard - arterial
Right-of-Way Design
Current:
a) 120-foot right-of-way with a 22-foot wide rural paved section.
Planned:
a) 120-foot right-of-way with two (2), 37-foot back-to-back paved sections and a 26-foot wide
median.
1996 Traffic Count (24-hour, weekdav, non-directionai):
a) None available.
Zoning History of Property:
There has been no rezoning activity within the past five (5) years.
Recent Surrounding Zoning Cases:
In August 1997, Lot 8A, located on the south side of Saratoga Boulevard and west of the subject
property, was granted a change of zoning from an "F-R" District to an "I-2" District in order to
develop a roofing company.
In September 1995, the adjacent property to the south and west was annexed into the City and zoned
an "F-R" District.
Zoning Inventory:
The subject property is the southern half of a lot currently zoned a "B-3" District and partially
developed with a dance hall and a radio broadcasting station. Adjacent to the east is an area
57
Zoning Report
Case No. 0200-1M (Yellow Rose Convention Center)
Page 3
containing 221.08 acres and partially developed with various types of commercial and industxial
uses. To the south and west, there are 1,329.27 acres offand zoned an "F-R" District that remains
undeveloped.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background: The applicant is requesting a change of zoning
from a "B-3" Business District to an "I-2" Light Industrial District in order to develop the
subject property with an open air flea market. An open air flea market is not permitted in the
"B-3" District because outside retail sales are not permitted unless associated with an
existing on-site retail establishment. This flea market will be located at the rear of the lot and
behind an existing dance hall and radio broadcasting station. Access to the subject property
will be from Saratoga Boulevard, an arterial, without traversing a residential area and the
parking will be located on the existing parking lot in front of the dance hall and radio station.
The subject property is under the Navy's Accident Potential Zone 1 (APZ-1) which
discourages housing and lodging. The existing "B-3" District permits hotel and motel uses,
whereas the "I-2" District does not. The requested "I-2" District is more consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and APZ zone, and is also an expansion of the "I-2" District adjacent
to the east. The uses permitted in the "I-2" District would not adversely impact the adjacent
area to the south and west since it is farmland.
Conformity to the Comnrehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can support the requested "I-2" District. The Westside Area
Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to develop with
general commercial uses. However, since the subject property is in an area industrially
zoned and in proximity to the sanitary landfit1, the requested "I-2" District would be
appropriate.
Potential Housina Density: The "B-3" District does not permit residential development, but
it does permit hotel and motel uses. An "I-2" District does not permit any type of temporary
or permanent housing or lodging except for a caretaker's quarters. Approval of the "I-2"
District will not affect the potential residential development in the area.
Heiv. ht/Bulk/Setbacks/Ete.: Both the "B-3" and "1-2" Districts required a from yard setback
of twenty (20) feet and no side or rear yard setbacks unless abutting a residential district
where a setback of ten (10) feet would be required. A setback of ten (10) feet will be
required along the south and west property lines. Neither of the districts have any building
height limitations
Si~na~e: Both districts provide unlimited wall signs and freestandhig signs as long as they
are located behind the front yard setback. A freestanding sign located within the front yard
setback is limited to one sign per slreet frontage with an area not to exceed forty (40) square
feet or a height of 25 feet. The "I-2" District also permits off-premise signs (billboards).
Zoning Report
Case No. 0200-04 (Yellow Rose Convention Center)
Page 4
Traffic: The proposed flea market will generate approximately 1,400 vehicle trips during
peak hour on Saturdays. This amount of traffic could impact the adjacent arterial, Saratoga
Boulevard, but an arterial is designated to carry large volumes of traffic. Therefore, the
potential traffic would not adversely impact the adjacent roadway.
Parkin~Sereehin~: A flea market is required to provide at least one parking space for each
200 square feet of leaseable floor area. Compliance with the parking regulations will be
required during the building permit phase of the development. A standard screening fence
with a height of not less than six (6) feet is required when a business or industrial use locates
adjacent to a residential district. A standard screening fence will be required along the south
and west property lines of the subject property.
Costs to City: All of the infrastructure required to serve the proposed is available and no
costs to the City are anticipated.
Platting: The subject property is pan of a larger lot that is platted and further replatting will
not be required.
Pros:
a)
b)
Cons:
a)
recommended land use.
Staff Recommendation:
Attachments:
(Ideas in support of the request.)
The requested "I-2" District is consistent with the zoning of the area.
The requested "I-2" District is an expansion of the adjacent "1-2" District to the east.
__ (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
The existing "B-3" District is more consistent with the Westside Area Development Plan's
Approval.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: March 28, 2000)
Case No. 0200-07. Melhem Ibrahim: A change of zoning from a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District
to a "B-4" General Business District on Osage Addition, Block 2, Lot 8, located on the west side of Everhart
Road, between Burney and Junssen Drives.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation: Denied the "B-4" DisWict.
Requested Council Action: Denial of the "B-4" District.
PurDoseofReuuast: Forrestaurant/bar.
Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from a "B-1" Neighborhood Business District to a "B-4"
General Business District in order to continue operating a restanrant/bar with no resn'iction on the mount of alcohol
sales. The subject property fi'onts on Everhart Road, an arterial, and backs up to single-family resides to the west.
The applicant can continue to operate the restaurant/bar establishment in the "B-I" District provided its sales of
alcoholic beverages does not exceed 75% of their gross sales. A bar, known as JRs, used to occupy the premises as
a grandfathered use. in September 1984, the "B-I" District was amended to exclude bars, lounges, and taverns as a
permitted use to make the district more compatible to adjacent residential uses. After the bar closed and remained
closed for more than one year, it lost its grandfathered use and could not reopen as a bar. A "B-4" District does not
restrict the amount of alcohol sales, whether the use is a bar, restaurant or combination thereof. Under the Texas
Alcoholic Beverage Code, if an establishment's alcohol sales exceed 75% of its gross sales, then the establishment is
considered a bar or nightclub. The "B-4" District would also allow other uses that are not compatible to adjacent
single-family residential uses; i.e., auto repair, auto sales, dance halls, hotels and motels, and number of signs
allowed. A nightclub/bar or restaurant/bar generally remain open until 2:00 a.m. The late night activity, including
live entertainment, large crowds can be disruptive to adjacent residential.
One resident testified in opposition complaining of late night activity and vehicle damage to the screening fence
between the bar and her house. An office building owner complained of overflow parking and trash and debris.
The Southeast Area Development Plan recommends the area to develop with neighborhood commercial uses.
Aonlicant's Position: The applicant does not concur with Staff and Planning Commission's recommendation.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, twenty-six (26) notices were mailed to the property owners
within a 200-foot radius, of which none were returned in favor and two (2) were returned in opposition. A letter in
favor was submitted from the subject property owner.

Zoning Report
Case No. 0200-07 (Melhem lbrahim)
Page 3
In September 1992, Lots 7 and 6C, located on the west side of Everhart Road and south of the
subject property, were granted a change of zoning from an "AB" District to a "B-I" District in order
to lease a space for a retail computer store.
Zoninff Inventory:
The subject property is a portion of a "B-I" District tract containing 3.40 acres and developed with
a restaurant/bar and 2 office buildings. North of this tract is another "B-I" District tract containing
4.73 acres and developed with offices, restaurant, car wash, auto sales and auto repair. There is also
a "B-I' District lot to the southeast of the subject property containing a vacant building on 0.24
acres. South and southeast of the subject property., there are 13.61 acres of land zoned an "AB"
District containing offices, beauty shops, gift shop, single-family residences and undeveloped land.
East of the subject property, there are 34.92 acres of land zoned a "B-5" Dialtier containing vacant
buildings, retail center, auto parts sales, auto repair and sales, child care center and bank. Adjacent
to the west, there is a single-family residential area zoned an "R-1B" District containing 3,205.98
acres.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
from a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District to a "B4" General Business District in order
to continue operating a restaurant/bar with no restriction on the amount ofalcohoi sales. The
subject property fronts on Everhart Road, an arterial, and backs up to single-family
residences to the west.
The applicant can continue to operate the restaurant/bar establishment in the "B-1" District
provided its sales of alcoholic beverages does not exceed 75% of their gross sales. A bar,
known as JRs, used to occupy the premises as a grandfathered use. In September 1984, the
"B-I' District was amended to exclude bars, lounges, and taverns as a permitted use to make
the district more compatible to adjacent residential uses. After the bar closed and remained
closed for more than one year, it lost its grandfathered use and could not reopen as a bar. A
"B-4" District does not restrict the amount of alcohol sales, whether the use is a bar,
restaurant or combination thereof. Under the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, if an
establishment's alcohol sales exceed 75% of its gross sales, then the establishment is
considered a bar or nightclub. The "B-4" District would also allow other uses that are not
compatible tO adjacent single-family residential uses; i.e., auto repair, auto sales, dance halls,
hotels and motels, and number of signs allowed. A nightclub/bar or restaurant/bar generally
remain open until 2:00 a.m. The late night activity, including live enteminment, large
crowds can be disruptive to adjacent residential.
One resident testified in opposition complaining of late night activity and vehicle damage
to the screening fence between the bar and her house. An office building owner complained
of overflow parking and trash and debris.

Case No. 0200-07 (MeLhem lbrahim)
Page 4
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements cannot be supportive of the requested "B-4" District. The
Southeast Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to
develop with neighborhood commercial uses. The requested "B-4" District is not consistent
with the Plan's recommended land use.
Potential Honsin~ Densit,/: Both the "B-I" and "B-4" Diltricts permit a density of 36.30
dwelling units per acre or 50 units on the subject property. The change of zoning will not
affect the density.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: Both the "B-l" and "B-4" Districts mquire a front yard setback
oftwent), (20) feet and no side or rear yard setback unless adjacent to a residential district
where a setback often (10) feet is required. A "B-I" District limits the height to 35 feet, not
to exceed three (3) stories. There are no building height limitations in the "B-4" District.
Signage: Both the "B-I" and "B-4" District permit tinlimited wall signs. The "B-I" District
permits one freestanding sign with an area not to exceed forty (40) square feet and a height
of twenty (20) feet. The "B-4" District permits unlimited freestanding signs if located
behind the front yard setback. If the freestanding sign is to be located within the front yard
setback, it is limited to one sign per street frontage with an area not to exceed forty (40)
square feet and a height of 25 feet. The unlimited freestanding signage could aversely
impact the adjacent residential area by the prolifera~on of signs and the light emitted from
the sign illumination.
Traffic: The existing restaurant/bar is estimated to generate approximately 1,889 daily trip
ends that would access Everhart Road, an arterial, without traversing a residential area.
Everhart Road, as an arterial, is designed to accommodate large volumes of traffic.
Therefore, the traffic generated by the proposed and existing uses will not adversely impact
the adjacent street system.
ParkingScreening: A rcstaurantJbar use is required to provided one off-street parking space
for each 100 square feet of gross floor area or 92 off-street parking spaces. The subject
property has sufficient off-street parking area. A standard screening fence with a height of
not less than six (6) feet in height must be provided when a business or industrial use locates
adjacent to a residential dislrict. A screening fence is required along the west property line.
Costs to City: All of the infrastructure needed to service the subject property and proposed
use is in place and no costs to the City are anticipated.
· Platting: The subject property is a platted lot and further replatting is not required.
Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
a) The subject property has direct access to an arterial without traversing a residential area.

REQUEST:
"B-I" Neighborhood Business District to "B-4" General Business Disu'ict on Osage
Addition, Block 2, Lot 8 and located on the west side of Everhart Road, between Burhey
and Janssen Drives
Mr. Saidaria presented a slide illuslration of the subject properly and the surrounding areus. The area to the
north is zoned "R-1B" One-family Dwelling Dislrict and developed with a parking lot; the area to the west is zoned
"R-1B" One-family Dwelling District and developed with single-family residences; the area to the south is zoned
"B- 1" Neighborhood Business District and developed with an office building; and the area to the east is zoned "B-5"
Primary Business District and developed with a retail center.
Mr. Saidaria stated that the applicant requested a change of zoning in order to continue operating a
restanrant/bar that exceeds 75% of gross sales. The applicant can continue to operate the restaurant/bar
establishment in the "B-I" District provided its sales of alcoholic beverages do not exceed 75% of their gross sales.
Mr. Saidaria provided history regarding the establishment by stating that a bar used to occupy the premises as a
grandfathered use. After the bar closed and remained closed for more than one year, it lost its grandfathereel use and
could not reopen as a bar. The "B-4" District would also allow other uses that are not compatible to adjacent single-
family residential uses; i.e., auto repair, auto sales, dance halls, hotels and motels, and number of signs allowed. A
nightclub/bar generally remain open until 2:00 a.m. The late night activity, including live entertainment, large
crowds can be disruptive to adjacent residential. Mr. Saidaria read the Pros and Cons contained in the Staff Report
(copy on file) and stated that Staff recommends denial of the "B-4" Dislriet.
Commissioner Underbrink opened the public hearing.
Frank [.~Tnrte, representing the applicant, 809 S. Port, sUtted that the property has been occupied by a
restaurant/bar for 30 years. Mr. Lazarte stated that the zoning request would not change the type of business from a
restaurant/bar into a bar. The owner of the business wants to abide with the ordinance; however, due.to rising sales
figures of alcohol sold on the premise, Mr. Ibmhim, the owner, believed that he would be in violation in the near
future.
Melhem Ibmhim, owner of the property, stated that he had been in business since 1979 and that John
Kendall, representative of the Building Division for the City of Corpus Christi, informed him of the "B-I" District
requirements. After that discussion with Mr. Kendall, Mr. Ibmhim was informed that he could apply for rezoning to
ensure that he would not be restricted to the 75% alcohol sales limiL Mr. Ibmhim explained that his alcohol sales
were not due to the quantity of drinks sold, but due to the high prices charged to discourage younger pai~t, ns fnnn
his establishment. In response to Commissioner Berlanga's question regarding percentage sales to date, Mr. Ibmhim
stated that he had not exceeded the 75% margin.
Beverly Agomuo, 4654 Mildred. distributed photographs of damage to her property and stated that her
home is directly behind the subject property and that she had to phone the fire deparunent due to fireworks being set
off and landing on her roof. Ms. Agomuo continued that she has had to replace her fence after a patron of the
business hit it with his vehicle. She also stated that patrons of the business cross the fence into her yard and asked
the Commission to deny the rezoning request.
Jerry Hunsaker, 350 Dolphin, owns a building complex near the subject property and expressed concerns
with parking for the establishment. Mr. Hansaker stated that he believes that the fire marshal is not enforcing the
Occupancy Code for the establishment due to the large numbers of patrons at the establishment. He stated that he
spoke with the manager of the business regarding the bottles and trash in the parking lot and that he had to hire an
attorney to pursue the runner. Mr. Hunsaker also expressed concerns regarding the need to enlarge the facility if the
rezoning request were granted. He stated that on several occasions he had to pay an additional fee to have his
dumpster emptied because a patron of the business pushed the dampster with his vehicle behind the building.
The applicant and the two (2) opponents to the rezoning request restated their positions.
Public hearing closed.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: March 28, 2000)
Case No. 0300-01, SPID Mini Storage, Ltd.: A change of zoning from a "B-4" General Business
DisWict to an "I-2' Light Industrial District on Dusty Hills Subdivision, Block I, Lot 4, located on the north side
of South Padre Island Drive, approximately 300 feet east of Prince Drive.
Plannin~ Commission and Staffs Recommendation: Denied th~ "I-2" District, and in lieu thereof,
approved a Special Permit for the outside storage of motor vehicles, recreational vehicles and boats, subject to a
site plan and three (3) conditions.
Reauested Council Action: Denial of the "I-2" District, and in lieu thereof, approval of a Special Permit
for the outside storage of motor vehicles, recreational vehicles and boats, subject to a site plan and three (3)
conditions.
Puroose of Recluest: To permitthe outside storage ofautomobiles, racreational vehicles and boats.
Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from a "B-4" General Business District to an "I-2" Light
Industrial District in order provide an area for the outside storage of automobiles, recreational vehicles and boats.
The existing "B-4" District requires all storage to occur in an enclosed building and prohibits outside storage,
including vehicles.
The subject properly is a 4.8 acre site with frontage on South Padre Island Drive. There is no local street access.
The closest residential development is 200 feet to the west. The proposed outside storage would be located on the
north 1.38 acres of the subject property. This area abuts undeveloped land to the north and west and the auto repair
portion of the auto dealership to the east. Other mini-storage facilities have been appwved on a case-by case basis
under a Special Permit request to allow the outside storage of recreational vehicles and boats. The subject property
has direct access to an expressway, South Padre Island Drive without having to traverse a residential area. It would
be appropriate to permit the outside storage of vehicles provided that the vehicles are operable and legal for public
street use and the outside storage is not visible from the adjacent roadways or properties. Approval of"I-2" District
allows, as a mattar-of-right, the outside swrage of the automobiles, recreational vehicles, boats, as well as, the more
onerous uses such as blending of insecticides, fungicides, disinfectants, manufacturing of concrete products, etc.
Such uses are not appropriate in areas close to residences. As with othermini-storage facilities, a Special Permit for
the outside storage of automobiles, boats and RVs would be appropriate. The outside swrage should be restricted to
a certain location on the subject property, required screening from roadways and adjacent prepenies, and limit the
weight of the automobiles to exclude the storage of heavy equipment. The Southeast Area Development Plan
recommends the area to develop with general commercial uses. As requested, the "I-2" District is not consistent
with the adopted Plan.
Annlicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Staff and Planning Commission's recommendation.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, sixteen (16) notices were mailed to the property owners within
a 200-foot radius, of which none were renamed in favor and one (1) was returned in opposition.
Pronosed Conditions: Planning Commission and Staff recommend the following conditions:
USES: The only use authorized by this Special Permit other than those uses permitted by right in the "B-4"
General Business District is the outside storage of motor vehicles (under 2 tons), recreational vehicles,
boats and boat trailers. Allowance of the outside storage does not include the storage of wrecked or
inoperable vehicles.

Zoning Report

Zoning Inventory:
The subject property is part of 559.11 -acre tract of land zoned a "B4" District. This "B4" District
extends along both sides of South Padre Island Drive and is developed with auto sales lots, offices,
hotels restaurants and shopping centers. Adjacent to the northwest, there are 6.43 acres of
undeveloped land zoned an "A-I' District. Adjacent to the northeast, there are another 1.82 acres
of undeveloped land zoned an "AT' District. East of the "AT" District, there are 3.23 acres of
undeveloped land zoned an "A-2" District. Further north of the subject property, there is a 0.53-acre
tract of land zoned a "B-1" Disu'ict developed with a beauty salon, bar and restaurant. Adjacent to
the west, there are 664.75 acres of land zoned a "R-1B" District that are predominantly developed
with single-family residences.
Planning, Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Backaround: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
from a "B4" General Business District to an "I-2" Light Industrial Diswict in order provide
an area for the outside storage of automobiles, recreational vehicles and boats. The existing
"B--4" District requires all storage to occur in an enclosed building and prohibits outside
storage, including vehicles.
The subject property is a ,~.8 acre site with frontage on South Padre Island Drive. There is
no local street access. The closest residential development is 200 feet to the west. The
proposed outside storage would be located on the north 1.38 acres of the subject property.
This area abuts undeveloped land to the north and west and the auto repair portion of the auto
dealership to the east. Other mini-storage facilities have been approved on a ease-by case
basis under a Special Permit request to allow the outside storage of recreational vehicles and
boats. The subject property has direct access to an expressway, South Padre Island Drive
without having to traverse a residential area. It would be appropriate to permit the outside
storage of vehicles pwvided that the vehicles are operable and legal for public street use and
the outside storage is not visible from the adjacent roadways or properties. Appwval of"I-2"
District allows, as a matter-of-fight, the outside storage of the automobiles, recreational
vehicles, boats, as well as, the more onerous uses such as blending of insecticides,
fungicities, disinfectants, manufacturing of concrete products, etc. Such uses are not
appropriate in areas close to residences. As with other mini-storage facilities, a Special
Permit for the outside storage of automobiles, boats and RVs would be appropriate. The
outside storage should be restricted to a certain location on the subject property, required
screening from roadways and adjacent properties, and limit the weight of the automobiles
to exclude the storage of heavy equipment.
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Comnatibilitv: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements cannot be supportive of the requested "I-2" District. The
Southeast Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to
develop with genera/commercial uses. As requested, the "I-2" District is not consistent with
the Southeast Area Development Plan's recommended land use.

Zoning Report
Case No. 0300-01 (SPID Mini Storage, Ltd.)
Page 4
Potential Housin~ Density: The "B-4" District permits a residential deusity of 36.30
dwelling units per acre or 174 units on the subject property. An "I-2" District does not
permit any permanent of temporary housing except that a caretaker's quarters would be
allowed. The change of zoning to an "I-2" District would eliminate any potential residential
development.
Heiaht/Bulk/Setbacks/Ete.: Both the "B-4" and "I-2" Districts require a from yard setback
of twenty (20) feet and no side or rear yard setback unless adjacent to a residential dislrict
where a setback often (10) feet would be required. A setback often (I0) feet is required
along the north property line and the northwest portion of the west property line. There are
no building height limitations in the "B-4" or "I-2" Disuicts.
Signage: Both the "B-4" and "I-2" Districts permit unlimited wall and freestanding signs
as long as they are located behind the front yard setback. A freestanding sign located within
the front yard setback is limited to one sign per street frontage with an area not to exceed
forty (40) square feet or a height of 25 feet. The "I-2" District also permits off-premise signs
(billboards).
Traffic: The subject property has direct access to the frontage mad of an expressway, South
Padre Island Drive. Inclusion of the outside storage will cause an insignificant increase of
traffic onto the frontage road. Approval of the "I-2" District may not increase traffic, but
may affect the type of vehicles accessing the frontage road; i.e., 18-wheelers, dump macks,
etc.
Parking/Screening,: The allowance of the outside vehicle storage will not require additional
parking. A mini-storage facility is not required to provide off~street parking. The existing
1,800 square foot building contains an office that requires one parking space for every 250
square feet of gross floor area, and a residence that requires two (2) parking spaces. The
subject property does provide the required nine (9) parking spaces.
Costs to City: All of the infrastructure required to serve the proposed uses, is available and
no costs to the City are anticipated.
Platting: The subject property contains a two (2) platted lots and further replatting is not
required.
Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
a) None.
Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
a) The existing "B-4" District is consistent with the adopted Southeast Area Development Plan.
b) The proposed outside storage of vehicles can be accomplished through a Special Permit.

Subdivision, Block 1, Lot 4 and located on the north side of South Padre Island Drive,
approximately 300 feet east of Prince Drive
Mr. Saidaria presented a slide illustration of the subject property and the surrounding areas. The area to the
north is zoned "A-l" Apartment House Dislfict and "AT" Aparlment-Toufist District and remains undeveloped; the
area to the south is zoned "B-4" General Business Disu'ict and portions remain undeveloped while the remainder is
developed with a hotel; the area to the east is zoned "B-4" General Business District and is developed with an auto
sales dealership; and the area to the west is zoned "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District and "B-4" General Business
District and remains undeveloped.
Mr. Saidaria stated that the applicant requested a change of zoning in order to provide an area for the
outside storage of automobiles, recreational vehicles, and beats. The existing "B4" Dislrict requires all storage to
occur in an eneinsed building and prohibits outside storage, including vehicles. The proposed outside storage would
be located on the north 1.38 acres of the subject property. This area abuts undeveloped laud to the north and west
and the auto repair portion of the auto dealership to the east. Other mini-storage facilities have been approved on a
case-by-case basis under a Special Permit request to allow the outside storage of reereatinnal vehicles and boaIs.
The subject property is in the Southeast Area Development Plan which recommends to area to develop with
general commercial uses. The requested "I-2" Disfilet is not consistent with the Area Development Plan. Staff
recommends denial of the "I-2" Dislrict, and in lieu thereof, approval of a Special Pertnit for the outside storage of
motor vehicles, recreational vehicles and boats subject to a site plan and the following conditions:
l)
USES. The only use authorized by this Special Penit other than those permitted by fight in the
"B-4" Disfilet is the outside storage of motor vehicles (under 2 tom), recreational vehicles, boats
and boat trailers. Allowauee of the outside storage does not include the storage .of wrecked or
inoperable vehicles.
2)
SCREENING. A standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet must be
installed and maintained along the north property line, and the north 137 feet of the east and west
property lines. The screening fence must be installed within six (6) months from the date of this
ordinance.
3)
TIME LIMIT. This Special Permit expires one (I) year from the date of this ordinance unless the
properly is being used for the purpose outlined in Condition #1 and all other conditions have bean
complied with.
Chairman Gum,in opened the public hearing.
R. Jet Fellows, applicaut's representative, 203 E. Nacoma, San Antonio, Texas, stated that the applicant
plans to continue the concrete fence along the remainder of the property line. Mr. Fellows stated that the facility
currently contains 500 upstale units and pined to expand to the storage of vehicles due to the number of self-serve
storage facilities. He agrees with Staffs recommendation.
Public hearing was closed.
Motion by Underbrink, seconded Berlanga, to approve Staffs recommendation. Motion passed
unanimously with Cheek Mims, and Sween-McGloin being absent.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
Sub_iect: Corpus Christi Ozone Near Non-Attainment Area Research Study
Project Description: The TNRCC is providing grant funding to Texas cities neadng
non-attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The City is
acting as the prime contractor with TNRCC and subcontracting the research portion of
the work to Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMU-K). The proposed contract with
TAMU-K provides for continuation of air quality research work. The research includes:
· monitoring for ozone;
· ozone precursors and particulate matter;
· conducting an emissions inventory of ozone precursors; and
· modeling of ozone formation in the region.
The proposed contract with Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) will
provide for the:
· continuation of an air pollution prevention program for small business; and
· public education for air quality in Nueces and San Patdcio Counties.
Air Quality Status: The region is very close to violating the National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone and must comply with new standards for fine
particulates. The research work currently underway and funded through these contracts
will identify emissions sources and the atmospheric chemistry leading to ozone
formation in the area. Modeling will be used to identity reduction strategies appropriate
for the area based on good science. The program began in F/Y 1996-1997, with a
similar Appropriations Rider (Rider 26) and execution of a Flexible Attainment Region
Agreement among the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), TNRCC, and the
City. The program continued through 1998/1999 with Appropriations Rider 17funding.
Should the area be designated as non-attainment, the sanctions imposed by EPA will be
very detrimental to future area economic development. It would also result in loss of
federal highway funds until EPA approves prescribed planning for regaining attainment
status.
Prior Council Action:
February 10. 1998 - Authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a
Rider 17 Inter-local Contract with the TNRCC in the amount of $283,750 for Air
Quality Planning Activities in Nueces and San Patricio Counties (Ord. No.
023208).
April 28. 1998 - Appropriating $283,750 in the No. 1050 Federal/State Grants
Fund for Air Quality Planning activities in Nueces and San Patricio Counties
(Ord. No. 023298).
Apdl 28. 1998 - Authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an
Interlocal Agreement with TAMU-CC in the amount of $70,000 for air quality
planning activities in Nueces and San Patdcio Counties (Ord. No. 023299).
May 11, 1999 - Appropriating $167,000 in supplemental funding from TNRCC to
continue research and outreach activities through Texas A&M University
Kingsville and Corpus Christi to address issues related to attainment with the
federal ozone and particulate standards (Ord. No. 023634).

Future Council Action: Approval of a future contract amendment with TNRCC based
on the work plan developed for an additional $465,000. The additional funding will
require TNRCC approval of the developed work plan.
Funding: Funding for these programs is being provided to Texas cities close to
exceeding the ozone standard with Appropriation Rider 13 to the FY 2000/2001 TNRCC
Budget. A grant of $30,000 has been offered to Corpus Chdsti to develop work plans
and detailed budgets defining the project work to be carded out during the biennium.

Dear Peter:
As the year-decade-century-millennium draws to a close, I want to both thank you for your
support of and involvement in our bid process for the 2007 Pan American Games and to update
you about the next step in the process.
As you know, San Antonio has been selected by the U.S. Olympic Committee to be its
Candidate City for the international phase of the bid process. At this time. we "have heard" that
Columbia and Brazil "may have" competing cities, but nothing is definite. Wc do know that the
Pan American States Organization (PASO) will award to the Games in the Fall of 2002. Two
weeks ago we held a strategic planning session for the bid, and in January we'll bc meeting with
the USOC to further discuss the process. Be assured that you will again play an important role.
']'he Cotpus Christi Marina is one of our premier sport vcnues, and its availability in 2007 is
important not only for the Games themselves but for the bid process as well. Showing PASO
that wc have reserved our venuc sites and locked in some rental rates will be a very significant
part of our bid. For this reason, I'd ask you Io give us the first option to use your facility for
the time period July I through August 13, 2007.
Finally, I am vc~' appreciative of your time and effort in making the September site visit such a
success, especially the Sunday venuc tour. The USOC was very impressed by the show of
commitment by our vcnuc and sport people, and this reinforced our rhetoric that San Antonio
really wants to host the Pan American Games.
Thank you, again. tbr your help and ! look tbnvard to working with you in the next phase.
Sincerely,
William C. Hanson

PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: July 20. 1999 - Approval of the FY99-00 Capital Budget (Oral.
No. 023703) which included funds for this project.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS: Award of a construction contract for the subjeot projeots.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Request for Qualification (RFQ) No. 99-01 included
Streets, Storm Water, Wastewater, and Water improvement projects. It was distributed
on July 9, 1999 to 109 engineering firms (41 local and 68 non-local). West
Point/Greenwood Trunk Main Rehabilitation, Staples Street Trunk Main Rehabilitation, and
Omaha Street Trunk Line Rehabilitation are part of RFQ No. 99-01 as well as the FY99-00
Capital Budget. The remaining projects - Antelope 24-Inch Trunk Main Rehabilitation and
Infiltration/Inflow Related Collection System Enhancement Program: Staples, Timbergate,
Cimmaron - are part of the FY99-00 Capital Budget. HDR Engineering, Inc. was selected
due to their experience with wastewater rehabilitation projects, infiltration/inflow projects,
and their ability to undertake the additional work in a timely manner.
Project descriptions are as follows:
West Point/Greenwood Trunk Main Rehabilitation - Numerous repairs have been
made to this 42 year old line due to settlement, broken pipe joints, and joint
separation. This project proposes the rehabilitation of 4,700 feet of trunk main in
West Point Road from the Airport Ditch to Greenwood Drive and in Greenwood
Drive from West Point Road to Padre Island Drive.
Staoles Street Trunk Main Rehabilitation - In 1993, the section of 24-inch
concrete trunk line from the Arcadia Lift Station to W. B. Ray High School was
replaced by a 12-inch force main. The remaining section of clay line has been the
subject of several repairs. Phase 1 of the Staples Street Trunk Main project
involves the rehabilitation of the line between W. B. Ray High School and Carroll
Lane. Phase 2 will rehabilitate the 24-inch clay trunk main from Carroll Lane to
the Everhart Lift Station.
123
Page 1 of 3
Omaha Street Trunk Line Rehabilitation - Three major repairs warrant cleaning,
televising, and evaluating approximately 7,000 linear feet of 24-inch diameter
trunk main along Omaha Street between Agnes Street and Old Brownsville Road
to determine the extent of rehabilitation work required. The pipe, installed in
1962, experiences frequent failures and blockages. Rehabilitation is needed to
prolong its service life and reduce infiltration.
Antelope 24-Inch Trunk Main Rehabilitation ~ The 24-inch cast iron trunk main in
Antelope Street, installed in 1940, is in need of rehabi'litation. The project involves
rehabilitating approximately 5,300 linear feet of trunk main between Doss Street
and Nueces Bay Boulevard along with associated manholes.
Infiltration/Inflow Related Collection System Enhancement Program: Staples.
Timbergate. Cimmaron - As the City's wastewater collection system ages, sewer
lines and manholes deteriorate, allowing infiltration of did and water into the
system. This results in reduced line capacity and manhole overflows, leading to
potential non-compliance with state and/or federal environmental regulations.
Various projects for cleaning and televising of larger diameter (greater than 15-
inches) sanitary sewer trunk mains have been completed or are underway. These
inspections have revealed several line segments with significant defects and
failures. This project will provide for the rehabilitation of these line segments and
associated manholes.
CONTRACT DESCRIPTION: The consultant contract provides for Basic and Additional
Services. The Basic Services include Preliminary Phase, Design Phase, Bid Phase, and
Construction Phase. The Additional Services include Aerials and Digitizing, Topographic
Survey, and Warranty Services.
Two sets of contract documents will be provided. The first set will include the following
locations:
· South Staples from Saratoga Boulevard to Timbergate;
· Timbergate from Staples Street to Opengate; and
· Cimmaron Boulevard from Saratoga Boulevard to south of Lipes Boulevard
The second set will inciude:
West Point Road from Greenwood Drive to Columbia Parkway and
Greenwood Drive from Padre Island Drive to West Point Road;
Staples Street from Texas Trail to Everhart Road;
Omaha Street from Old Brownsville Road to Agnes Street; and
Antelope Street from Nueces Bay Boulevard to Doss Street
124
Page 2 of 3
The second set will be structured as Part A and Part B for bidding purposes, with the
Antelope Street location being Part B. The bid proposal will be structured so that the City
can accept the bid for Part A or both Parts A and B, depending upon funding availability.
If Part B is not awarded with Part A, the City will repackage the bid documents to re-bid
Part B alone.
The testing contract provides for soil borings to be taken in 17 locations and preparation
of a geotechnical report covering those 17 locations and required laboratory test results.
Soil borings are required to design insertion pits for installing liners in the existing sewer
system. The laboratory test results enable evaluation of soil slope stability, apparent earth
pressures, and dewatering issues.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
March 23,2000
AGENDA ITEM: Amending Ordinance No. 023242 to rename and expand the
Willjams Drive Neighborhood Preservation and Redevelopment Area as the Airline-
Holly-Kostoryz Neighborhood Preservation and Redevelopment Area; providing for
severance; providing for publication; and declaring an emergency,
ISSUE: Staff is recommending that the Williams Drive Neighborhood Preservation
and Redevelopment Area be expanded and renamed to include a similar adjacent
residential corridor running from Everhart Road on the east to Kostoryz Road on the
west (see attached map).
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: To effectuate the designation, the city Council
must give its approval.
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend Council approval of the renaming and
expanding of the Willjams Drive Neighborhood Preservation and Redevelopment
Area.
W. Thomas Utter
Assistant City Manager
134
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In March 1998, City staff recommended the creation of the Williams Drive
Neighborhood Preservation and Redevelopment Area. The recommendation was
the result of the City Council directed Willlares Drive Development Study. Included
in the original designation was a residential corridor extending from Aidine Road on
the east to Everhart Road on the west, bounded on the north by Williams Drive and
on the south by Holly Road. This entire area was found to be subjected to a number
of developmental pressures including increased traffic along the newly constructed
Holly Road, as well as continuing commercial development pressures from not only
South Padre Island Drive, but also along Everhart Road, Staples Road and Aidine
Road. The designation of the area as a neighborhood preservation area allowed the
possibility of obtaining planning funds and/or other State and Federal funds for the
area.
As staff has ~nalized the Willjams Drive Redevelopment Study and continued to
review the area, we have found that the identical development pressures are
occurring to the west of the area, running from Everhart Road to Kostoryz Road,
bounded on the south by Holly Road and on the north by the commercial area along
South Padre Island Drive. Staff is recommending that the Willjams Drive
Neighborhood Preservation and Redevelopment Area be renamed the Airline Holly
Kostoryz Neighborhood Preservation and Redevelopment Area and be expanded
to include the residential corridor from Everhart Road to Kostoryz Road.
While there is absolutely no cost or obligation to the City as a result of the
recommended designation, there are State and/or Federal programs for which
preference is given to such designated preservation and redevelopmerit area much
the same as preference for City designated community development block grant
areas or City designated enterprise zones.
