rebated to the federal government.

the arbitrage calculations, the excess earnings are booked against the liability account and are not

Mayor Neat recessed the regular Council meeting for the meeting of the Corpus Christi
Industrial Development Corporation.
Upon reconvening the regular meeting, Mayor Neat referred to the presentations on the day's
agenda. The first was an update by the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). Fire Chief
J.J. Adame introduced Mr. Sam Williams, LEPC Administrator, Mr. Bob Allen, representing CITGO
Refining and Chemicals, and Mr. Rich Tuttle, representing Koch Petroleum Group.
Chief Adame explained that local emergency planning committees were established by
federal law in 1987, prompted by the 1984 toxic release disaster in Bhopal, India. However, no
federal or state funding was provided for the establishment of the LEPCs. Despite that fact, there has
been a high level of participation among industry, government, and citizens' groups, which has
resulted in the development over the years of safety videos, a web page, brochures, billboards, utility
bill inserts, and public safety announcements. In addition, numerous "table top" exercises have been
conducted.
The Fire Chief said the LEPC participated in the Environmental Protection Agency's
Regional Response Tean~ conference in June 2000, and the EPA plans to print the LEPC's safety
brochure in Spanish. In addition, the local committee has receive numerous awards from the National
Coordinating Council on Emergency Management, the Chemical Educational Foundation, and the
Intemational Association of Emergency Managers. Chief Adame acknowledged the participation of
the following entities: City of Corpus Christi, Koch, CITGO, Coastal Refining and Marketing,
Elementis Chromium, Equistar, Ticona Polymers, Valero Refining, Nueces County, and the Port of
Corpus Christi Authority.
Mr. Tuttle discussed the efforts of the LEPC Risk Awareness Subcommittee. He said
approximately 50 people have been meeting monthly for the past 18 months to educate citizens in
the Coastal Bend about developing their own personal safety plan during certain emergencies. He
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting

said their goals for this year include reinforcing shelter in place as an initial response during a
chemical emergency; utilizing multiple notification tools, such as 911, radio, television and
telephone call-down systems; and continuing to develop public information pieces, such as brochures
and PSAs (several of which were televised during the Council meeting).
Mr. Allen said he was representing Mr. Chuck Cazalas of CITGO, who co-chairs the Risk
Awareness Subcommittee with Mr. Tuttle. Mr. Allen said that over the last seven years the LEPC
has taken complicated material and made it understandable even for elementary-age children. He
thanked the Council for their support and funding and he said the committee members would be
willing to speak to groups throughout the area to promote safety awareness.
Mayor Neal and several Council members commented that this community has come a long
way regarding emergency preparedness. Mr. Garrett asked if the PSAs were available in Spanish,
and Mr. Allen said they have been translated and they are working with the EPA on funding them.
Mrs. Longoria asked if citizens have demonstrated more awareness about chemical emergencies. Mr.
Allen said many of them have, particularly those living near the refineries on IH-37; however, many
citizens on the southside do not feel they are at risk. Mrs. Longoria said city officials who recently
artended a conference in Corpus Christi requested a workshop on the LEPC's efforts. Mr. Colmenero
commented on the progress the committee has made over the years.
The second presentation was an update by the Planning Commission. Mr. David Berlanga,
Chairman of the Planning Commission, recognized other members who were present--Elizabeth
Richter, Shirley Mims, and Brook Sween-McGloin. Mr. Berlanga said that in its advisory role to the
City Council, the Planning Commission tries to anticipate where growth will occur in the city. Two
areas of anticipated growth are Padre Island and northwest Corpus Christi, while development on
the southside and in Flour Bluff is expected to continue at its present rate.
Mr. Berlanga said that to meet growth demands and to improve the city's character, the
Planning Commission and city staff continue to develop city plans and zoning and platting regulation
amendments that are consistent with adopted plans and policies. Their projects include the following:
rewriting the local development codes (zoning and platting regulations); updating the
Comprehensive Plan, which includes policy statements, city wide vision, and infrastructure and land
use plans; reviewing the sign regulations in the Zoning Ordinance to provide appropriate sign
allowances consistent with the use; preparing a master park and open space plan; developing
traditional neighborhood and livable communities concepts and implementing pedestrian-oriented,
medium-density zoning districts; and developing strategies for historically underdeveloped areas,
such as the westside and northside.
Responding to Mayor Neal, Mr. Michael Gunning, Director of Planning and Development,
said there are 14 area development plans in the city. He said the only area that does not have an
adopted area development plan (ADP) is Mustang/Padre Island, which was adopted by the Council
but subsequently rescinded. He said many of the ADPs are being updated. He added that he would

like the Planning Department to move toward city-wide plarming, such as the street plan, land use
map, and public facilities plan as opposed to breaking up the city into 14 different areas. He said staff
will bring back a formal recommendation to the Council regarding that issue; meanwhile, staff will
continue to develop a unified transportation (street) plan for the Council's consideration.
In reply to Council Member Kinnison, Mr. Berlanga said the sign regulations they are
reviewing pertain to those in front of businesses, not to billboards. Mr. Kinnison commented on the
multitude of large business signs along SPID. Mr. Berlanga said that is one of the things the Planning
Commission will be looking into. Mr. Gunning added that that task is complicated and will probably
take some time. Mr. Kinnison also expressed concern about billboards in the downtown area and
excessive traffic on the southside. Mr. Berlanga briefly discussed the use of traffic management
devices and the expenses associated with increasing the number of traffic lanes.
Council Member Gonzales asked about the airport master plan. Mr. Gunning said the city
has adopted plans that protect the airport from encroachment for noise and safety purposes. Dr.
Gonzales said it is important to begin planning soon to improve the area along Hwy. 44 leading from
the airport to the city. Mr. Berlanga said the Planning Commission is also concerned about the
appearance of the areas along IH-37. Dr. Gonzales said the sign advertising the fast-food restaurant
located on the seawall does not fit in with the rest of the seawall. He also commented on the need
for planning in the area under Harbor Bridge.
Council Member Colmenero commented on sign regulations and growth in other areas of the
city, including older neighborhoods, through the use of tax increment financing (TIF) districts.
Council Member Scott said the city of Houston has utilized TIFs to provide affordable housing.
Responding to a question from Mr. Scott, Mr. Gunning said billboards are not allowed in any of the
island zoning districts. Mr. Scott also commented on the commission members' work (particularly
Ms. Sween-McGloin and Deputy City Manager Noe) on the Platting Review Committee and the
Zoning Review Committee.
Council Member Betty Jean Longoria said she had asked the Planning Commission to
consider stricter requirements for solid wooden screening fences as opposed to hurricane screening
fences. She also said there is a problem with traffic in the northwest and that ADP is being updated.
The third presentation was made by Ms. Barb Sudhoff, Director of Municipal Courts. Before
making her presentation on parking enforcement efforts, she noted that the Tiburon interface
programming and testing has been successfully completed and the system will go "live" on October
23, 2000. She said the interface will allow police officers in the field to have access to Municipal
Court warrants through both radio dispatch (which they currently have) as well as through the mobile
data terminals in the patrol cars.
Using a computer presentation, Ms. Sudhoffthen described the Municipal Court's and Police
Department's increased efforts at parking enforcement. She said there has been a problem with
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 17, 2000
Page 9
people routinely ignoring the parking citations they receive. Ms. Sudhoff said that while Municipal
Court receives parking citations from the airport and the Texas State Aquarium, by far the largest
number of citations are received from the Police DepartmenUs Parking Control Section, which
monitors the downtown area, Del Mar College, Spohn Shoreline hospital, and the area around the
new federal courthouse..
Ms. Sudhoff said that as of January 1999, Municipal Court assumed some of the
responsibility for parking control from the Finance Department. She said the Court is now
responsible for entering all parking citations, collecting all parking fines, and improving parking
processes and revenues. She said the Court processes about 39,000 parking citations a year and only
about 50% of them are resolved. In order to improve parking revenues, the Court is planning to
implement a booting/immobilization program and to purchase hand-held ticket writers, which will
allow the citation information to be directly uploaded into the Court's computer system.
Regarding the booting program, Ms. Sudhoff said that beginning November 1 st people who
have more than three outstanding parking citations will be eligible to have their vehicle booted. This
program is already authorized by city ordinance and has been instituted in the past by the Finance
Department. Responding to Council Member Gonzales, Police Capt. Wayne Tisdale said that under
the ordinance, the owner of the vehicle cannot be arrested but the vehicle itself can be impounded
or booted if it is parked. City Attorney Bray added that presently the ordinance does not allow the
owner of a vehicle to be stopped because of outstanding parking violations. However, staff intends
to come back to the Council with a recommendation in that regard.
Ms. Sudhoff said that before a vehicle is booted, the registered owner of the vehicle will
receive written notification of his or her outstanding citations along with information about how to
resolve those citations. She said the deparUnent will issue a news release informing citizens about
the program before it is implemented. She said this program is meant to hold people accountable,
address business owners' concerns, and improve parking revenues.
In reply to Council Member Garrett, Ms. Sudhoff said a boot will be placed on a vehicle
before 11:30 a.m. with accompanying signage informing the defendant that he needs to go to
Municipal Court that day to address his citations. If he does, the boot can be removed that day;
however, if he does not, the boot will stay on overnight. If the defendant does not resolve his
citations, the city will impound the vehicle.
Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Ms. Sudhoff explained how the Court and
Parking Control will verify the status of outstanding citations before hooting a vehicle. She added
that the city has enough boots now but is looking into purchasing additional ones. Council Member
Cooper asked about the time period on the citations, and Presiding Judge Rudy Tamez said it is two
years. Ms. Sudhoff sald there are many people who have received 40, 50 and 60 citations within the
last two years. She added that they hope people will address the outstanding citations after they
receive written notification so the city will not have to boot their vehicle.
Council Member Kinnison asked about people who contest their citations or who carmot pay
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 17, 2000
Page 10
their fines. Judge Tamez said that if a person wishes to plead not guilty, he must post a cash bond
to pay for the citations; in addition, a hearing is scheduled within three days and the boot is removed.
He added that the judges do not get involved until a defendant pleads not guilty or they claim the
booting was done improperly. Responding to Dr. Gonzales, Capt. Tisdale said the civilians in the
Police Parking Control Section work Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. He noted that
the computer interface will allow the Police Department to identify other outstanding warrants a
person may have.
Council Member John Longoria said the booting program is another step in addressing the
problem of scoffiaws, which aids in the whole crime-fighting effort. Responding to a question from
Mr. Longoria, Ms. Sudhoff said the fines are at the discretion of the judges. Council Member Scott
complimented Ms. Sudhoff for their efforts and he suggested that the first few vehicles that are
booted be publicized so as to draw attention to the program. Ms. Sudhoff pointed out that the written
notification will state that the person has I 0 days to resolve his citations before his vehicle is eligible
for booting. In response to Dr. Gonzales, Mr. Bray said the ordinance ailows for a range ofpenaities
up to $500 so a judge can assess a heavier penalty for a frequent violator.
Mr. Kinnison asked if there is anything preventing the publication of a person' s name who
has several parking citations. Mr. Garcia said they discussed that but they need to ensure that they
identify the right people. He said sometimes the violator is not the owner of the vehicle. Mayor Neal
asked staff to bring back additional recommendations on amending the ordinance to tighten the
penalties even more. He then called for a brief recess.
The fourth presentation--on the Weed and Seed program--was made by Mr. Tony Cisneros,
Director of Park and Recreation. He explained that Operation Weed and Seed is a comprehensive,
multi-agency approach to combating violent crime, drag use, and gang activity in high-crime
neighborhoods. The goal of the program is to "weed out" crime from targeted neighborhoods and
then to "seed" the target sites with a wide range of crime- and drug-prevention programs and human
services resources.
Mr. Cisneros said the Corpus Chiisti Weed and Seed program supports four major strategies:
law enforcement; community policing; prevention, intervention, and treatment; and neighborhood
restoration. The law enforcement strategy is designed to reduce violent crime, drug trafficking and
drug-related crime in targeted neighborhoods. The community policing strategy is designed to
increase police visibility and develop cooperative relationships between the police and the citizens.
The third strategy takes place after the first two "weeding" strategies. Through the use of safe
havens, law enforcement, and social service agencies, the community can create an environment
where crime can no longer thrive. And the neighborhood restoration strategy involves federal, state,
local and private sector resources providing economic development and opportunities for residents.
Mr. Cisneros discussed the history of Corpus Christi's Weed and Seed program. In August
1993 the city developed and proposed a Weed and Seed program for Census Tracts 4 and 5 but it
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 17, 2000
Page 11
was not funded. Initially it was administered jointly by Housing and Community Development
(HCD) and the Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD). The city persisted and finally in March
1995 the Executive Office of Weed and Seed officially recognized the city as a Weed and Seed site.
In May 1997 the city received notice of official recognition for the Weed and Seed Site II. In January
1999, administration o.f the program was transferred from HCD to the Park and Recreation
Department.
Mr. Cisneros then reviewed the local program's funding amounts and number of staff
positions from its inception to the present. In 1993 the program received no funds from either the
Department of Justice (DO j) or the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and
it had one full-time staff position. In 2000, the program received $350,000 for Sites I and II from the
DOJ and $50,000 from CDBG and it has four full-time and two part-time positions.
Mr. Dan Whitworth, Assistant Director of Programs, discussed the breakdown of the Weed
and Seed budget, which is divided into administration, programs, and subgrants. He said the
administrative aspect consists of grant administration, the subgrant process, steering committee,
"weeding" coordination, and program administration. The programs offered include the weeding
program through the CCPD, Drug Education for Youth, fall and spring festivals, SEEDTECH,
neighborhood clean-up, and 20 safe haven sites. Regarding the subgrant process, this year $170,655
will be awarded. The organizational chart consists of the Director of Park and Recreation and
Assistant Director of Programs (whose salaries are paid out of the General Fund); Management
Assistant IV (paid with CDBG funds); a Management Assistant I, and a Management Aide and part-
time Outreach Worker at both Sites I and II (paid with DOJ funds).
Council Member John Longoria asked several specific questions about the Corpus Christi
Weed and Seed program, to which Mr. Cisneros and Mr. Whitworth responded. Mr. Longoria
expressed concern about the amount of money spent on administration, and he asked about a memo
dated October 2, 2000 from Mr. Cisneros which delineated Weed and Seed expenses. Mr. Whitworth
noted that not all of the program's administrative costs are associated with administration of the
subgrant process--community programs are also involved. He said since January 1999, city staff has
worked closely with the Weed and Seed Steering Committee to see what their priorities are and to
get some input on the organizations seeking grant funding.
Mr. Longoria also questioned travel expenses and the SEEDTECH program, which Mr.
Whitworth explained. Mr. Longoria said that according to the minutes of the August 31 st steering
committee meeting, some of the committee members feel confused about what they should be doing.
Mr. Whitworth replied that the 78415 Steering Committee will soon be receiving some technical
assistance training on development of requests for proposals, and the Weed and Seed Steering
Committee members will observe that training. Mr. Cisneros added that staff is waifmg to hear from
the federal government about any funds carried over from the last fiscal year. Additional discussion
ensued about the subgrant process.
Council Member Gonzales asked if they were asking DOJ to change the direction of the local
Weed and Seed program. Mr. Cisneros said the philosophy established by the DOJ will remain

Page 12
intact. Council Member Betty Jean Longoria said that a few years ago she served on. the committee
and she said staff ensured that the citizens--and not staff--were selecting the projects. Mr. Longoria
commented about expanding the Weed and Seed Steering Committee.
The fifth presentation was about the water pass through and drought management plan. City
Attorney Bray said this presentation was initiated becanse of the declining water levels in the city' s
reservoirs. He said staff wanted to give the Council their assessment of the situation in case the
drought continues, which they feel will be a six-month decision-making process.
Mr. Bray reviewed the special conditions in the permit for the Choke Canyon Reservoir
which was issued by the then-Texas Water Commission (now the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission-TNRCC) in 1976. He explained that since surface waters in Texas belong
to the state, municipalities or other entities must seek permission from the state for the water's use.
With regard to the use of the Choke Canyon Reservoir, the state made the following
conditions, which Mr. Bray quoted: "Following completion and filling of Choke Canyon Dam and
Reservoir, scheduled releases shall be made from the reservoir system at Lake Corpus Christi Dam
together with retum flows to the estuaries for the proper ecological environment and health of related
living marine resources therein. Water provided to the estuaries from the reservoir system under this
paragraph shall be released in such quantities and in accordance with such operational procedures
as may be ordered by the Commission. Owners shall provide not less than 151,000 acre-feet of water
per annum for the estuaries by a combination of releases and spills from the reservoir system at Lake
Corpus Christi Dam and return flows to Nueces and Corpus Christi Bays and other receiving
estuaries."
Mr. Bray pointed out that the permit refers to return flows (which is water that goes through
a treatment plant and is released back into the water system), spills over the dam and scheduled water
releases. Responding to Council members' questions, Mr. Bray said the document from which he
quoted is not a contract but a permit for the impounding and use of the water. He said the figure of
151,000 acre-feet was not based on scientific evidence because there was no clear evidence that a
particular amount of water would produce a particular benefit. He said the thesis at the time was that
the reservoir system's yield was expected to be 252,000 acre-feet. And it was expected that 60% of
that would come back to the system through the so-called return flows, therefore the target became
151,000 acre-feet.
However, said Mr. Bray, certain factors came into play to affect those figures. One was that
water consumption became more efficient; consequently, only about 47% of the water went back into
the system in the form of return flows. Also, the reservoir did not produce the amount of firm yield
that was expected; and due to a severe drought from 1984 to 1987, it took much longer to fill Choke
Canyon. When the reservoir did fill up in 1987, there was much controversy about the city's
responsibility to begin releasing water as called for in the permit. Subsequently, in 1992 the city
agreed to an interim order which allowed for a period of study of up to five years to see if a
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 17, 2000
Page 13
permanent order could be developed.
Mr. Bray said that in 1995 a permanent order was agreed upon, which states that when water
impounded in the reservoir system is less than 70% of storage capacity, a target amount of 97,000
acre-feet is to be delivered to the Calallen Monitoring Station or the Nueces Delta through specific
amounts each month. The order also states that releases from the reservoir system storage shall not
be required to satisfy the targeted inflow amounts.
Mr. Bray further explained aspects of the agreed order, noting that if the target pass-through
for one month is exceeded because of spills of excess water, the excess is credited for up to 50% of
the next month's requirement. Also, ifNueces Bay salinities are extremely low, pass-throughs are
reduced or eliminated. With regard to drought exceptions, Mr. Bray said that pass-throughs are
reduced or eliminated when lakes reach a certain level and drought measures are implemented. For
example, when the amount of impounded water is less than 40% of capacity, pass-throughs may be
reduced to 1,200 acre-feet (effectively 700 acre-feet) in any month if the city implements Condition
II of the drought plan. And if the level drops below 30%, pass-throughs may be reduced to zero if
the city implements Condition III of the drought plan.
Mr. Bray discussed the main elements of the four conditions in the drought plan. He noted
that they do not take into consideration the water the city is now receiving from Lake Texana via the
Mary Rhodes Pipeline. He said Condition I is contemplated when the reservoir storage capacity is
at 40%. Under that condition, customers are asked to voluntarily conserve water, city operations are
placed on mandatory conservation, and watering of vegetation with city water is prohibited between
10 a.m. and 6 p.m. He said Condition II is contemplated between 30% and 40% and includes such
restrictions as watering lawns every other week on designated days by limited methods. He said
when Condition II is implemented, the Council shall appoint the Allocation and Review Committee.
Mr. Bray said that Condition III can be implemented at 30% or less of the reservoir capacity,
and it includes mandatory limits for water use without a penalty; in addition, a use level is
established beyond which service is terminated. And Condition IV can be initiated at 65,000 acre-
feet of capacity, which includes maximam residential customer use with revised rate schedules and
penalties established by the City Council upon the recommendation of the Allocation and Review
Committee. This condition also allows for any actions necessary to meet emergency conditions.
The City Attorney also reviewed a comparison of the pass-throughs that would have been
required under the 1992 order and what is required now under the 1995 order for each year from
1995 to 2000, which resulted in a total "savings" of approximately 237,000 acre-feet.
He then discussed the effect of Lake Texana. He pointed out that present annual water usage
is about 120,000 to 125,000 acre-feet, and Lake Texana provides 42,000 acre-feet per year, reducing
demand on the reservoir system by one-third. Without the Lake Texana water, the level would have
dropped to 40% around April 1, 2000 and to 30% in July. In addition, without the water from the
pipeline the level today would be about 25% rather than the current level of 32.4%. Mr. James
Dodson, Deputy Executive Director of the Nueces River Authority, said that evaporation losses are
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 17, 2000
Page 14
the biggest demand on the system and as lake levels go down, the surface areas are also reduced,
which means there is not as much evaporation.
In summary, Mr. Bray said the issues to be addressed are as follows: when and whether to
implement conditions of the Drought Contingency Plan; whether to proceed with exploration of the
Rincon or Delta Project and an amendment to the agreed order; water legislative policy;
opporttmities for cooperation with other areas; and a review of the HDR Engineering study on the
reservoir operating plan.
Mr. Bray also discussed a tentative calendar for when to address those issues: November 14,
2000 - have presentations on the Rincon/Delta diversion project and water legislative policy; January
2001 - consider implementing Condition I; March 2001 - have a presentation by HDR under its
contract to update the reservoir operating plan; and April 2001 ~ consider implementing Condition
II (assuming that the drought continues).
Council Member Garrett said he thinks it is unacceptable to make water releases at the levels
the lakes are currently at, and he asked if the city can challenge the TNRCC's requirements. Mr. Bray
said the issue can always be brought up again, and he noted that the present order has greatly
lessened the impact of the water releases on the system. Mayor Neat pointed out that the city can stop
the pass-throughs once the level drops below 30% by implementing the first three conditions of the
Drought Contingency Plan. He added that even during the height of the 1995-97 drought, the Council
did not implement Condition III because of the severe restrictions that are placed on citizens,
businesses, and industry.
City Manager Garcia said staff has considered the possibility of reopening discussions with
the TNRCC about the water releases. He pointed out that the basic tenet of water rights is that no one
is allowed to dry up a river by impounding it--some downstream flow is necessary for ecological
reasons. Council Member GoBTales said he thought the Council should implement Condition I and
consider options to discuss with the TNRCC.
Responding to Council Member Scott, Mr. Ed Gara~a, Water Superintendent, said that
during the winter months water usage will drop off and the Mary Rhodes Pipeline will become the
predominant source of water for the area. In addition, evaporation rates drop due to increased cloud
cover. He also discussed the conservation efforts being carried out now. Responding to Mayor Neal,
Mr. Dodson said that in August 1996 the reservoir capacity reached a low of 25.5%. Mr. Scott said
he would also like to readdress the water release issue and the Rincon project with the TNRCC.
Mr. Kinnison asked if money was being spent on studies that end up being of no benefit to
the city. Mr. Dodson replied that the city has gathered years of important data about the estuarine
system that became the basis for an effort in 1997 to develop the Rincon effluent diversion project.
He said that information will provide opportunities to further address this issue with the TNRCC.
Following additional discussion, Mr. Garcia said staff can bring projects to the Council that
will affect the discussions with TNRCC. However, those projects could cost as much as $12 million
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 17, 2000
Page 15
to $15 million and result in major rate increases, but produce very little additional water for the
community. He added that the issue of water releases is very political and inflammatory, and he
emphasized that with the Mary Rhodes Pipeline, this area has a sufficient water supply. Council
Member Colmenero said the city does not have all the information it needs to amend the agreed
order at this time.
Mayor Neal reiterated that the Council could reduce or stop the water releases by
implementing the necessary drought conditions, but they need to consider whether the result of that
action is worth the restfictions and impact that would follow. He said a previous Council approved
the diversion project, which will take years to implement and will cost millions of dollars. However,
it was complicated by some permitting requirements. He said he feels the timing of this issue is very
critical. Dr. Gonzales said he was not advocating going to Condition II now but to consider going
to Condition I to improve conservation efforts and to begin preparing for further actions. Mayor Neal
asked staff to bring back the diversion project for discussion by the Council.
The sixth presentation was an update on the 1986 bond program. Mr. Escobar explained that
in April 1986 voters authorized $104,945,000 in general obligation bonds for seven separate
propositions. In December 1995, the Council adopted a resolution stating that only $97,515,000 of
the authorized bonds would be sold. As of October 17, 2000 all of the 1986 authorized projects have
either been completed, are currently under construction, or were awarded by the Council during the
meeting (Item 5 on the day's agenda).
Mr. Escobar reviewed the funding amounts as follows: Airport - $3,105,000, 3%; Aquarium -
$4,000,000, 4%; Parks - $13,435,000, 14%; Health and Safety - $9,500,000, 10%; Drainage -
$4,840,000, 5%; Wastewater - $15,890,000, 16%; and Streets - $46,745,000, 48%. He said 18 of the
authorized street projects are completed and six are ongoing, and seven additional street projects
have been completed. Those projects entail the following streets: Airline, Alameda/Santa Fe/Weber,
Annaville Area No. 3 (Margie), Corneli, Kostoryz, Leopard (Phases 1, 2 and 3), McArdle (Phases
1 and 2), Nile, and Spur 3, Phase 2 (Ennis Joslin).
Referring to all of the 1986 projects, Mr. Escobar said 77 authorized projects were completed
and 26 additional projects were completed. He added that oppommities to leverage ~mds with state
and federal dollars have resulted in over $200 million in street projects from a $46 million bond
investment and almost $1 million in additional park enhancements for Bay Trail.
Council Member Betty Jean Longoria commented on the importance of the city being able
to leverage funds for additional projects, such as Comett, and additional funds for McKinzie. Mr.
Escobar added that all of those additional projects were approved by the Council. Council Member
Gonzales said a lot was accomplished but it took too long. City Manager Garcia pointed out that the
1986 bond package was passed without any provisions for how to pay for it, including no additional
taxing authority and no additional income. He said the only way they were supposed to pay for the
bond issue was through an increased tax base (which did not occur for many years).
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 17, 2000
Page 16
Mayor Neat said the only tax increase was I cent in 1995, which was supposed to complete
the bond program but it did not. And in 2000 the Council approved short-term debt of less than $5
million to complete the projects. Mr. Garcia said unless the 2000 bond issue passes, the city has no
additional capacity for any capital improvements. Mr. Bray said the 1986 bend ballot language was
broadly worded and in. response to criticisms about that, the 2000 bond ballot language is very
specific. As a result, the city is legally bound to construct those specific projects if they are approved
by the voters.
Mayor Neat called for Council concems and reports. Mr. Kinnison requested an update on
the golf course RFP and an accounting of the Police Department's drug forfeitare fund. Mr. Scott
said a graffiti perpetrator was recently severely prosecuted. Mrs. Longoria announced that Mayor
Neat and members of Forward Corpus Christi will be speaking at a luncheon on October 19th of the
Northwest Business Association.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neat adjourned the
Council meeting at 6:44 p.m. on October 17, 2000.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION: Motion approving the purchase of 689 pedestrian signals and
72 hardware poles from Texas Highway Products, Round Rock, Texas in accordance
with Bid Invitation No. BI-0032-01, based on low bid for a total amount of $191,842.
The LED equipment will be installed by the Traffic Signals Division of the Street
Department. Funds have been budgeted in FY00-01.
BACKGROUND:
Purpose:
The Light Emitting Diode (LED) equipment will be
installed throughout the City as an energy savings initiative
targeted at reducing the electrical consumption of traffic
signals and pedestrian signals.
Previous Action:
Agenda Memorandum dated June 13, 2000. Motion
authorizing the City Manager to submit a Detail Project
Application for Central Power and Light's Non-Residential
Standard Performance Contract (SPC) Program for LED
Traffic Signal Changeout Program.
Agenda Motion dated August 29, 2000. Motion approving
the purchase of 488 LED traffic signals, 1,165 LED
pedestrian signals and kits, 3,836 LED traffic signal kits
and assorted hardware.
Bid invitations Issued: Ten
BidsReceived: Five
Price Analysis:
The City awarded the pedestrian signals and hardware
poles to ACM Highway Products and Traffic Parts Inc.
under the previous motion dated August 29, 2000. After
the award, ACM Highway Products indicated they had
inadvertently failed to include the LED kits in the
pedestrian signals and opted to default under the contract.
Due to inconsistencies in product specifications, Traffic
Parts Inc. quoted on hardware poles that would not meet
the City's requirements and were allowed to withdraw their
offer. Pricing for the pedestrian signal has increased from
$198.50 to $266 each. Pricing for the hardware poles has
increased from $99 to $119. However, as noted above, the
pricing received under the previous bid were not
representative of the actual equipment required by the City.
Award Basis: Low Bid
Ftmding:
The equipment will be financed by the City's lease/purchase
contractor. The estimated interest rate is 5%. The actual
interest rate will be determined after acceptance of the
equipment. The equipment will be leased for a sixty-month
period. The estimated annual payment is $43,443.72. The
five year total, including principal of $191,842 and interest
of $25,376.60 is $217,218.60.

over who are willing to serve as companions to homebound and elderly persons in the
community. The Companions assist homebound individuals with daily living tasks, such

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND MATERIAL
When Clean Cities Corpus Christi received official designation from the Department of
Energy, the organization was insufficiently funded to operate as an autonomous entity.
To provide a vehicle for the Clean Cities Coordinator to receive a salary and benefits
City Council authorized the Creation of the position of Clean Cities Coordinator
(Management Assistant III), authorized a trust account to be created to hold Grant funds
and Donations to Clean Cities, and Authorized a Clean Cities budget.
Two years ago, the Clean Cities Board reviewed the issue of autonomy and determined
that the Clean Cities Coalition was insufficiently funded to stand alone. However,
H.E.B., Gulf Coast Energy, and the Rio Grande Valley have become strong fiduciary
proponents.
South Texas Clean Cities Coalition, Inc. (S.T.C.C.C.) became an independent, non-
profit organization on August 1, 2000. This agreement, approved by the City Manager,
was developed by the Gas Department, Environmental Office and S,T.C.C,C. during the
month of June, 2000. The compelling reason behind this change is due to the growth in
territory of S.T.C.C.C. that now greatly exceeds the greater metropolitan area of the
City.
The City has been contributing in excess of $130,000 per year to support Clean Cities.
The South Texas Clean Cities Coalition is chartered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit
corporation, which will rely on centdbutions from both public and private sectors within
the territory.
Because of the current budget problems affecting the City, the Clean Cities Board of
Directors has agreed to continue current projects benefiting the City. A contract is
under development detailing the Scope of Work and requisite Contribution by the City to
S.T.C.C.C. needed to fund these projects.

Zoninl~ History of Pronertv:
There has been no rezoning activity within the past five (5) years.
Recent Surroundins Zonine Cases:
In October 1998, the adjacent tract to the east was granted a change of zoning from an "F-R" District
to an "1-2" District for the development of a track sales and service facility.
Zonin~ Inventory:
The subject property is part of a larger area zoned an "F-R" District that extends west ~'om Hunter
Road and south from 1/-1-37, past Leopard Street. This area contains over 194 acres which is
predominantly used as farm land. The adjacent "I-2" District extends south and east from the subject
property to Corn Products Road on the east, approximately 2 miles, and to the airport on the south,
approximately 3 miles. The area remains mostly undeveloped with a scattering of industrial uses
mostly along 1I-I-37, Leopard Street, Agnes Street, Southem Minerals Road and Corn Products Road.
Planninl~ Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
from an "F-R" Farm-Rural District to an "I-2" Light Industrial District in order to develop
the 33-acre site with a track sales and service center (6.45 acres) and the remainder with light
industrial uses similar to the adjacent properties. The proposed track sales and service center
is planned to be located along the IH-37 frontage road. A 26,000 square foot building is
proposed to house the truck center. The subject property has access from 1It-37, a freeway,
Leopard Street, an arterial, Rhew Road, a local street, and Bearden Drive, also a local street.
The surrounding properties are currently zoned an "I-2" District with the area to the west
predominantly developed with light industrial uses and the area to the east sparsely
developed with light industrial uses. The requested "I-2" District would be an expansion of
the "I-2" District adjacent to the east and west, consistent with the area's development
pattem and adopted comprehensive plan. The "I-2" District will require screening of outside
storage from adjacent rights-of-way.
ConformiW to the Comvrehensive Plan and Land Use Comvatibilitv: Overall, the.
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the request "I-2' District. The subject
property is within the Port/Airport/Violet Area Development Plan, which recommends the
area to develop with light industrial uses. The requested "1-2" District is consistent with the
Plan's recommended land use.
Potential Housin~ Density: An "F-R" District permits residential development at a density
of one dwelling unit for each five (5) acres or six (6) units on the subject property. The "I-2"
District does not permit temporary or permanent housing or lodging except that a caretaker' s
quarters is permitted.
Zoning Report
Case No. 0900-01 (Betty Armstrong for D. W. Grant Trust)
Page 4
HeighlfBulk/Setbacks/Etc.: There are no required setbacks or building height limitations in
the "F-R" District. An "I-2" District requires a front yard setback of twenty (20) feet with
no required side or rear yard setbacks unless adjacent to a residential district where a setback
of ten (10) feet would be required. There are no building height limitations in the "I-2"
District.
Pros:
a)
b)
c)
Cons:
a)
Signage: One temporary non-illuminated sign with an area of forty (40) square feet and a
height of 35 feet is permitted in the "F-R" District. The "I-2" District permits unlimited wall
and freestanding signs provided they are located behind the front yard setback. Freestanding
signs located within the front yard setback are limited to one sign per street frontage with a
sing area not to exceed forty (40) square feet and a height of 25 feet. Off-premise signs
(billboards) are also permitted in the "I-2" District.
Traffic: With direct access to a freeway frontage road, It1-37, and an arterial, Leopard Street,
the proposed development will have minimal impact on the surrounding street system.
Parking/Screening: Off-street parking for a track sales and service facility is required at a
rate of one parking space for each 400 square feet of gross floor area of the sales floor and
one parking space for every three (3) employees in the service area. Compliance with the
parking regulations will be required during the permitting 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. Since the subject property
has no residential adjacency, a standard screening fence will not be required.
Costs to City: There are no anticipated costs to the City.
Platting: The subject property is an unplatted piece of property and will require platting prior
to the issuance of a building permit.
(Ideas in support of the request.)
The requested "I-2" District is an expansion of the "I-2" District to the east and west.
The requested "I-2" District is consistent with the Port/Airport/Violet Area Development
Plan' s recommended land use.
The subject property does not have direct access to a residential district or traverses through
a residential area.
(Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
None.

Planninl~ Staff Anah, sis:
General Characteristics and Backm'ound: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
from an "R-2" Multiple-family Dwelling District to an "B-I" Neighborhood Business
District in order to expand the adjacent restaurant onto a portion of the subject property and
to provide more off-street parking. The subject property consists of two (2) lots, Lots 26A
and 26B. Lot 26A contains a duplex and Lot 26B is vacant. It is the applicant's intent to
leave the duplex in place at this time. A minor restaurant and parking expansion is planned
on the vacant lot. The applicant currently owns the adjacent lot to the east, Lot 26C, which
contains a grocery store with a restaurant. It is the restaurant portion of the business that the
applicant wishes to expand. The subject property abuts a "B-I" District on the east, west,
and south with a collector street to the north. A "B-I" District on the subject property would
be an expansion of the adjacent "B-I' District and consisted with the adopted area
development plan.
Conformitv to the Comvrehensive Plan and Land Use Comoatibilitv: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "B-I" District. The
Westside Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to
develop with neighborhood commercial uses. As requested, the "B-I" District is consistent
with the Plan's adopted land use map.
Potential Housin~ Density: An "R-2" District permits a density of 14.52 dwelling units per
acre or 4 units on the subject property. A "B-I" District permits a density of 36.30 dwelling
units per acre or l 1 units on the subject property. Approval of the "B-I" District will not
adversely impact the surrounding properties because the permitted density is equal to the
density permitted on the adjacent lots.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: Both the "R-2" and "B-1" Districts required a front yard setback
of twenty (20) feet with the "R-2" District requiring a side and a rear yard setback of five (5)
feet each for single-family and duplex uses and ten (10) feet each for one-stoW structure plus
five (5) feet for each additional story in multiple-family development. Side and rear yard
setbacks for residential development in the "B-I' District are ten (10) feet each. There are
no required side or rear yard setbacks for nonresidential development in the "B-1" District
unless adjacent to a residential district ~vhere a setback often (10) feet would be required.
If the requested "B-1" District is approve& a setback of ten (10) feet will be required along
the south and east property lines.
Signa~e: The "R-2" District limits signs to one wall sign with a sign area not to exceed one
square foot. Wall signs in the "B-I" District are unlimited as size and number. Freestanding
signs in the "B-t" District are limited to one freestanding with a sign area of forty (40) square
feet and a height of twenty (20) feet.

Case No. 0900-04 (Juan A. Rodriguez)
Page 4
Traffic: The subject property has direct access to a fully improve collector with no direct
access to a local residential sireet. The will be minimal impact onto the adjacent collector
from the subject property.
Parkinv./Screenin~: A restaurant use is required to provide one off-street parking space for
each I00 square feet of gross floor area. Compliance with the off-street parking regulations
will be required during the permitting phase of the proposed 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. Since there is no residential zoning
adjacent to the subject property, a screening fence will not be required.
Costs to City: All of the infrastructure required to serve the subject property is in place and
there are no anticipated costs to the City.
Platting: The subject property contains txvo (2) platted lots and further replatting is not
required.
Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
a)
The requested "B-1" District is an expansion of the adjacent "B-1" District adjacent to the
south, east, and west.
b)
The requested "B-I' District is more consistent with the Westside Area Development Plan's
recommended land use.
Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
a) None.
Staff Recommendation:
Approval.

REQUEST: "R-2" Multiple Dwelling District to "B-I" Neighborhood Business District on Molina
Subdivision, Block 2, Lots 26-A and 26B and located on the south side of Home Road,
approximately 70 feet west of Barrera Street.
Mr. Saidaria presented a slide illustration of the subject property and the surrounding area. The subject
property is the only "R-2" District in the area. Adjacent to the south. east, and west, there is a "B-I" District
containing approximately acres and is developed with a mixture uses, fi-om single-family to duplexes to restaurant to
vacant lots. The remainder of the area is zoned an ~'R-1B" District that is predominantly developed with single-
family residences with a municipal golf course at its north end.
The applicant has requested a change of zoning to expand the adjacent restaurant onto a portion of the
subject property and to provide more off-street parking. The subject property contains two (2) lots, lots 26A and
26B. Lot 26B contains a duplex and Lot 26B is vacant. It is the applicant's intent to leave the duplex in place at this
time but with some minor expansion of the restaurant onto the vacant lot. The applicant currently owns the adjacent
lot to the east, Lot 26C, which contains a grocery. store with a restaurant. It is the restaurant portion of the business
that the applicant wishes to expand.
The subject property is located within the Westside Area Development Plan, which recommends the area to
develop with neighborhood commercial uses. Therefore. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. There
were 11 notices mailed to property owners within a 200-foot radius of which one (1) was returned in favor and none
in opposition.
Chairman Berlanga opened the public hearing. No one appeared in favor or opposition. Public hearing
was closed.
Motion by Mires. seconded by Kelly, to approve Staffs recommendation. Motion passed unanimously
with Richter, Salazar, and Zamora being absent.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING '(City Council Action Date: October 24, 2000)
Case No. 0900-05, Suochai and Mai Ho Chanvarlak: A. change of zoning from an "R-1B" One-
family Dwelling District to a "B-IA" Neighborhood Business District on Hart Addition. Block D, being 0.895
acre out of Lot F, located on the north side of Leopard Street, approximately 200 feet west of Hart Road.
Plannina Commission and Staff's Recommendation (09/27/00): Approve&
Reo uested Council Action: Approval of the "B- I A' Neighborhood Business District and adoption of the
attached ordinance.
PurnoseofReauest: To develop office complex and retail shops.
Summary: A change of zoning from an "R-I B" One-family Dwelling District to a "B-1A" Neighborhood Business
District was requested in order to construct a commercial building of a residential style to house an office for
applicant's personal use and limited retail. The applicant owns and maintains a residence on the adjacent lot to the
north. The proposed building is one-story and contains approximately 4,600 square feet in area. The subject
property is a 0.895-acre tract of land that is undeveloped and with access only to Leopard Street, an arterial.
Adjacent to the north and west are single-family residences and to the east. a vacant lot that fronts Hart Road. The
"B-IA" District was created to be more sensitive to existing residential development than a "B-1" Neighborhood
Business District by eliminating uses. such as fueling stations, liquor stores and pawnshops, and limiting the hours
of operation to bem'een 6:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Approval of a "B-IA" District with direct access to an arterial and
no direct access to a local street would not adversely impact the surrounding properties.
Annlicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning Commission and StafFs recommendation.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, nine (9) notices were mailed to the properly owners within a
200-foot radius. of which one (1) was returned in favor (being same as the applicantYowner) and two (2) in

Page 3
Plannin~ Staff Anaivsis:
General Characteristics and Background: A change of zoning from an "R-1B' One-family
Dwelling District to a "B-1A" Neighborhood Business District was requested in order to
construct a commercial building of a residential style to house an office for applicant's
personal use and limited retail. The applicant owns and maintains a residence on the
adjacent lot to the north. The proposed building is a one-story and contains approximately
4,600 square feet in area. The subject property is a 0.895-acre tract of land that is
undeveloped and with access only to Leopard Street, an arterial. Adjacent to the north and
west are single-family residences and to the east, a vacant lot that fronts Hart Road. The
"B-1A" District was created to be more sensitive to existing residential development than
a "B-1" Neighborhood Business District by eliminating uses, such as fueling stations, liquor
stores and pawnshops, and limiting the hours of operation to between 6:30 a.m. and 10:00
p.m. Approval ofa "B-1A" District with direct access to an arterial and no direct access to
a local street would not adversely impact the surrounding properties. However, since the
adjacent property to the east remains undeveloped, it is probable that the property owner or
prospective purchaser of the adjacem lot to the east may also request non-residential zoning.
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "B-1A" District because
of its direct access to an arterial. The northxvest Area Development Plan's adopted future
land use map recommends the area to develop with commercial uses. The requested "B-1A"
District is consistent with the Plan's recommended land use.
Potential Housin~ Density: The "R-1B" District permits a density of 7.26 dwelling unit per
acre or six (6) units on the subject property. A "B-1A" District permits a density of 36
dwelling units per on property fronting an arterial or 32 units on the subject property. The
development of an apartment development would not be appropriate in this area, but the
adjoining roadway would be able to accommodate the increase in traffic.
Hei~htJBulk/Setbacks/Etc.: An "R-1B" requires a front yard setback of 25 feet with a side
and rear yard setback of five (5) feet each. A "B-1A" District requires a front yard setback
of twenty (20) feet with a side and rear yard setback of ten (10) feet for residential
development. Nonresidential development does not require a side or rear yard setback unless
adjacent to a residential district where a side yard often (10) feet and a rear yard of fifteen
(15) feet are required. Development of the subject property with a business use will require
a 10-foot setback from its east and west property lines and a 15-foot setback from its north
property line. Building heights in the "R-1B' District are limited to 35 feet not to exceed
three (3) stories. The "B-IA" District limits building heights to 36 feet or, if adjacent to a
residential district, it is limited to 26 feet.
Si.lmage: Signs in the "R-1B" District are limited to one wall sign not to exceed a sign area
of one square foot. The "B-1A" District permits wall signs with an area of one square foot
for each linear foot of building frontage having a door for the public. A freestanding sign is
Zoning Report
Case No. 0900-05 (Supchai & Mai Ho Chanyarlakl
Page 4
also permitted in the "B-I A" District provided it does not exceed thirty (30) square feet or
¼ of one square foot for each linear foot of frontage along an arterial, whichever is greater,
but not to exceed fifty (50) square feet. The freestanding sign must not exceed a height of
fifteen (15) feet and setback it least ten (10) feet from abutting rights-of-way.
Traffic: The proposed 4,600 square foot commercial building is projected to generate
approximately 187 daily trip ends. With direct access to a divided arterial, this increase in
traffic will have minimal impact on the adjoining arterial.
ParkinvjScreenin~: A retail establishment and a medical office are required to provide off-
street parking at a rate of one parking space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area. An
office use is required to provide off-street parking at a rate of one parking space for each 250
square feet of gross floor area. Compliance with the off-street parking regulations will be
required during the permitting phase. A masonry wall with a height of not less than six (6)
feet is required along the rear property line when a nonresidential use abut a residential
district. A standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet is required
along the side property lines when a nonresidential use abuts a residential district. If the
request "B-l A" District is approved, a standard screening fence will be required along the
east and west property lines and a masonry wall along the north property line. Along with
a the masonry wall, a landscape strip with a width of fifteen (15) feet will be required
adjacent to and paratlel to the rear property and must contain a 2-inch caliper canopy tree
every thirty (30) feet on center.
Costs to City: All of the infrastructure required to serve the proposed development is
available. There are no anticipated costs to the City.
Platting: The subject property is a portion of a larger tract and may be required to replat prior
to the issuance of a building permit.
Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
a)
The subject property has direct access to an arterial and no direct access to a local residential
street.
b)
The requested business district is an expansion of the business district to the south but is
more protective of the residential area.
c)
The requested "B-1 A" District is consistent with the Northwest Area Development Plan's
adopted land use map.
Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
a)
Approval of the "B-1A" District would be the catalyst for more nonresidential zoning on the
north side of Leopard Street.

"We have owned this 3.0 acres since 1972 and have spent several hundred thousand
dollars to improve and hi~ve a nice home and neighborhood. We feel this rezoning
would cause property values to decline. If a worst case scenario were to take place
and a business were placed there that was-detrimental and offensive to the
surrounding community. Mr. Chanyarlak told our neighbor that he was going to rent
office space to some lawyers. I don't think that is a neighborhood business. We hope
the Planning Commission can see our feelings to~vard this zoning. It will cause more
traffic on Leopard and we don't need that."

We understand that the city is considering convening a part of Lot"F" located 200 feet west of Hart
Road to "B1-A" from
"R-1B".
Guess we'll get to enjoy "track side seats" when the traffic comes by while avoiding the congested
intersection at Violet and
Leopard going to and from this "neighborhood business" .All joking aside, we know the city will not be
fooled into thinking this
won't happen "because it's a computer supply warehouse with some offices and they don't do business
with the public".
Everyone knows how capricious business is,especially the computer business. That place if
converted,could very well become
a "greasy spoon"restaurant that would have dumpsters,grease traps and tanks of refuse to draw hordes of
disease bearing
vermin.
I'm also sure Mr. and Mrs. Pinkenon wouldn't enjoy the scenery of the back of a filthy restaurant or
worse while languishing
on their patio directly behind this building.

From: Mark Crider <cccoat@swbell.net>
I understand Supchai and Mai He Chanvarlak want to convert a .895 acre tract out of Lot F, located on
the North side of Leopard street,approximately 200 feet West of Hart Rd..
The conversion of this piece of property h'om "R-1B" One Family Dwelling District to
"B-1A"Neighborhood Business District would certainly be an affront to all the residents in that immediate
area who have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on their homes and properties to enhance and
beautify, the neighborhood.
Property values could decline to half or more of their present value if a worst case scenario were to take
place and a business were placed there that was extremely detrimental and offensive to the surrounding
close community and in the middle of these expensive homesites.
The Chanvarlaks have communicated to some of the neighbors that they want to have a computer
business office at that location. That may be tree,but things change with time,sometimes rapidly in the
business world, and we could on a worst case scenario wind up with a pornographic video rental store on
one extreme to no telling what kind of business there in the very near future.
The lot adjoining them on the East, is the comer of Hart Rd. and Leopard St. and directly across Hart Rd.
from my house and properties which I have invested my lifes work in to have a nice place that fits in with
the neighborhood we have had there for the last thirty five or so years. The change in zoning could trigger
a request to extend the zoning line on to Hart Rd. and allow more businesses to be built to the comer
causing a major traffic flow through our neighborhood to and from 1-37. This would become a very
dangerous situation to all of us living there on Hart Road. A business located at the proposed change site
will also cause a significant amount of traffic flow on Hart Road by people avoiding the Violet/Leopard
intersections and using the Up River Road neighborhoods to Hart Road creating more of a traffic problem
in our neighborhood.
I understand the Chanvarlaks have several acres out of sight near their new home they just built behind
this lot F that is proposed for change that they could warehouse their computer supplies without
devastating our neighborhood's looks and values.
Please be advised that my family and I are vehemently against this proposal to change the zoning to
create a more dangerous neighborhood.

SUBJECT: Zoning Change
ATTEN: Miguei Saldana
FROM: Kelton & Janice Pinkerton
DATE: Sept 25,2000
I understand the city zoning and planning commission is considering
converting a .895 acre tract out of Lot "F" thats located about 200
~eet west of Hart Road. That piece of property is located adjacent
to my residence property on Hart Road. I didn't recieve notice of
this proposed change. I 'm lucky . I guess, that our neighborhood
grapevine ~ alive and well here on Hart Road. We won't be alive
and well if this properity is rezoned to "B-IA". It w~ be
tantamount to a death sentence for our children, pets that
accidentl~ get loose , ~a~ autos and residental property
values. We neighbors have repeatedly ugered the city to do
sometning ~or traffic co~rol. They have r~poned by placing
"Limited" sight sig~ along the street and loweing the speed
limit, all to no avail. We are currently working to get speed bumps
installed. ~nyt~ng that h~ the potential to increse traffic in
our front ~ds should be viewed as a potential threat to everyone.
A neighborhood business with a ~uture propensity of becoming
anything offe~ive and increasing traffic to a residential area
should be o~ the highest concern for the planning commision and
city council to avoid pe~mitting or change. I and my wi~e have
barely escaped being hit by traffic while attemping to back out
our drivewa~3. More traffi~ on Hart Road is a big NO.

Planning Commission Minutes
September 27, 2000
Supchai and Mai Ho Chanyarlak: 0900-05
REQUEST:
"R-IB" One-Family Dwelling District to "B-1A" Neighborhood Business District on Hart
Addition, Block D, being 0.895 acres out of Lot F. and located on the north side of Leopard Street.
approximately 200 feet west of Hart Road
Mr. Saidaria presented a slide illustration of the subject property and the surrounding area. The subject
property is part of an "R-1B" District area containing approximately 3.Q00 acres and predominantly developed with
single-family residences. East of the subject property., there are 6.93 acres of land zoned a "B-4" District that is
pan/ally undeveloped and another portion developed with a retail center. To the southeast is a 94.75-acre tract of
land zoned an "F-R" District and remains undeveloped. South of the subject property, there is a "B-I" District
containing 8.79 acres developed with a fire station, a medical center, apartments, and a business center and a vacant
tract of land.
Mr. Saldaria stated that the applicant requested a change of zoning to construct a commercial building to
house an office and some retail shops. The proposed building is planned to be a one-story building of approximately
4,600 square feet in area. The subject property is a 0.895-acre tract of land that is undeveloped and has its only
access to Leopard Street, an arterial. As requested. the "B-IA" District is a district that has been created to be
sensitive to existing residential development by eliminating uses, such as fueling stations, liquor stores, and
pawnshops, and limiting the hours of operation to between 6:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Therefore, approval of a
"B-1A" District with direct access to an arterial and no direct access to a local street would not adversely impact the
surrounding properties. However, since the adjacent property to the east remains undeveloped, it is probable that the
property owner or prospective purchaser of the adjacent lot may want to extend to non-residential zoning to the lot.
Mr. Saidaria continued that the applicant proposes the structure to look like the First American Building.
The subject property. is located within the Northwest Area Development Plan, which recommends the
property. to develop with commercial uses. Theretbre. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. There
were eight (8) notices mailed to property owners within a 200-foot radius of the subject property of which one was
returned from the applicant in favor, two (2) letters from outside the radius were returned in opposition.
Mr. Saldaria stated that the "B-IA' District permits restaurants without a drive-though and requires grease
traps and service areas to be located not closer than 50 feet from residential property.
Wilkinson, representing the applicant. stated that she wanted to address the concerns of the neighborhood
with the applicant's business. She stated that the property will not be occupied by the owner who lives behind the
subject property. Mr. Wilkinson also expressed concerns such as the applicant providing computer services outside
the area and will not increase the commercial traffic in the area. She believes that the business will enhance the
area. The business of the applicant is computer archiring.
AJ Read. stated that a masonry fence will be erected as required by the "B-IA" District between the lefi
side of the property and the east side of the property..
Joe Garcia, Beeville. Texas, stated that the design for the structure is similar to the First American Title
Company. The building would work well either the area because it is in keeping with the area. Mr. Garcia
presented a site plan. He described the parking lot by stating that it would be to the left side of the property, which
is the access lot to the home. Mr. Garica continued by stating that the building is setback further than required and
will require landscaping as illustrated on the site plan. He continued that the "B-IA" District is a good zoning
district that everyone has worked to create.
Mark Cryder, 4402 Hart, stated that the property had been sold. Mr. Cryder stated that the property is
being rezoned and replatted in order to sell the property. He expressed concern with the view of nearby residents
being obstructed by a neighborhood business.
In response to Commissioner Kelly's question regarding opposition. Mr. Cryder stated that he was opposed
to any commercial development in the area.

Tonya Ray Johnson. 1640 Leopard. stated that she lived next door to the subject property. Ms. Johnson
wanted to know the intent of the business. She stated that she believes that the propert:,.' would be better used as a
[awyer's office and conference room. Ms. Johnson expressed concern with the applicant moving to Austin, Texas
because his business continues to grow in Austin. She wants to keep businesses out of the area.
In response to Commissioner Kelly's question regarding an "AB" District, Mr. Gunning stated that no retail
sales are allowed; however a service business could operate in an office district.
Paul Owens, 11614 Leopard, stated that he has lived in the area since 1972, and there have always been
nice homes in the area.
Mark Cryder stated that he wanted a guarantee for the property.
Public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Kelly stated that due to the fact that the applicant lived directly behind the subject property,
he was inclined to believe that the applicant would develop the property in a tasteful manner that would be in
accordance with the neighborhood. He continued that the neighbors should be agreeable to the development for that
fact.
The Commission briefly discussed zoning districts across Leopard Street. Motion by Mims, seconded by
Cheek, to approve Staffs recommendation. Motion passed unanimously with Richter. Salazar. and Zamora being
absent.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
October 20, 2000
AGENDA ITEM: .
Resolution initiating proceedings to establish the Rodd Field Public Improvement
District.
ISSUE:
Establishment of a public improvement district for Rodd Field Village for the
purpose of eliminating blighted conditions and improving the health, safety and
welfare through
a)
b)
c)
platting all of the properties within the proposed district;
providing a financing mechanism through the use of City and private funds
for the installation of public infrastructure; and
furthering the objective to insure that existing and future development is in
compliance with state and local development regulations and building codes.
REQUIRED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
Initiating proceedings to establish a public improvement district requires City
Council approval.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The Rodd Field Village industrial area has been the focus of prior City efforts to
assist property owners in joining together to share in the costs of platting and
installation of the required public infrastructure. Publicly dedicated streets and an
approved public water supply and sanitary sewer system are necessary to support
any new growth and to create an environment for attracting future quality
development.
Since the mid-1980's, the City has been concerned with public safety, health and
environmental issues relating to access to public streets, approved water supply
and sanitary sewer within the area. With the annexation of Rodd Field Village in
City Council Agenda Memorandum
October 24, 2000
Page 2
1989, the City began code enforcement efforts with individual property owners as
well as with a coalition of property owners to bring the developed and developing
properties into compliance with platting, zoning and building codes. At no time did
a majority of the owners agree to participate in the coalition. Only two tracts of
land have been platted in the Rodd Field area. (These are outside the proposed
district.) The City is not allowed to issue building permits for improvements to the
unplatted properties in accordance with the City Charter. It became apparent that
the only way the platting and infrastructure costs could be affordable was through
the sharing of costs by all the owners.
In late 1999, City staff again began meeting with a group of owners, at their
request, to explore the feasibility of establishing a public improvement district to
finance the platting and infrastructure improvements. A public improvement
district would require the assessment of all property owners, provided the State
legal tests for establishing the district are met. On October 9, 2000 a final meeting
was held with the owners to review the estimated costs to fund the improvements.
All owners were sent letters by certified mail inviting their attendance and
comment. Approximately 33 owners attended and overwhelmingly supported
presenting their petitions for a public improvement district to the City Council.
Presently, representatives of 55% of the property owners comprising more than
50% of the land area contained within the boundaries of the proposed public
improvement district and more than 50% of the appraised values have signed
petitions asking for creation of a public improvement district.
RECOMMENDATION:
To move the process forward, the City Council needs to approve a resolution
directing staff to proceed with the feasibility study on establishing the Rodd Field
Public Improvement District. The district boundaries and costs estimates are
preliminary and subject to change based on findings of the feasibility study.
CDBG funds are proposed to pay the cost of developing and engineering with all
other costs assessed to the district's property owners. City staff views the public
improvement district as the most viable method to address the numerous code
violations in this area and to provide an opportunity for future growth. Whether or
not the public improvement district becomes a reality, the City must pursue an
aggressive code enforcement program to insure compliance by all owners. The
public improvement district will be a win-win situation for the City and the
property owners. Staff recommends approval of the resolution directing City staff
to initiate the public improvement district feasibility study.

ADDITIONALBACKGROUND:
The Rodd Field Village is situated at the southwest comer of Lwo arterials,
Yorktown Boulevard and Rodd Field Road. This area was zoned an "I-2" Light
Industrial District at the time it was annexed in April of 1989. It is bordered by
Bill Witt Park on the west and vacant land on the north, south and east. Within the
boundaries of the broposed public improvement district there are 88.31 acres,
excluding public right-of-way, containing 62 parcels under 42 different owners.
Twenty-four of the owners representing 35 parcels have signed petitions in support
of the public improvement district.
Under the proposed public improvement district, Staff is recommending the City
pay the engineering and surveying fees required to plat the properties, waive the
plat application fees and recording fees, and all the assessment fees paid by the
property owners under the district to substitute for the development fees for water
acreage, wastewater acreage, and street lighting. The surveying and engineering
fees are proposed to be funded from Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds.

CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI
SEPTEMBER, 1991
RODD FIELD VILLagE
The area known as Rodd Field Village, east of Bill Witt Park and
south of Yorktown Blvd. was annexed by Ordinance No. 20647 on
April 11, 1989. A former naval barrack facility associated with
the aviation training center, the area has a mixture of land uses
that is predominately industrial with an infrastructure consisting
of gas, storm sewer, sanitary sewer and streets which do not meet
City Standards. This area has considerable growth potential,
however, because it is not platted, issuance of building permits is
not possible. Properties are required to be platted in order to
tie into City Utilities.
A portion of the sanitary sewer system and wastewater treatment
facility are privately owned and operated. State and federal
permits for the treatment facility will expire on November 12,
1991. The itemization of improvements and the costs of these
improvements to plat the area and bring it up to City Standards are
summarized in this report.
In order to satisfy the requirements of the Platting Ordinance, the
following conditions will need to be met:
(a) Payment of acreage fees and pro-rata fees;
(b)
Submittal of a plat for the area surveyed by a professional
registered land surveyor; and
(c) Public improvements required:
(1) Streets
(2) Water
(3) Wastewater
(4) Street Lighting
The items are discussed herein in greater detail.
ACREAGE FEES
The total gross acreage in Rodd Field Village is 108.74 acres plus
7.53 acres owned by Safety Steel Warehouse, Inc. including public
and private roadways. Property owned by Southwestern Bell
Telephone totaling 2.89 acres, was platted in December, 1990. The
resulting unplatted acreage, exclusive of dedicated right-of-way,
totals 86.73 acres of land zoned "1-2" - Light Industrial District.
This zoning district allows light manufacturing, fabricating,
warehousing, and wholesale distribution.
Acreage fees as defined by the Platting Ordinance are required to
be paid by the developer based on the gross acreage of the area to
be developed. The acreage fee represents the cost to provide
utility service, water and wastewater, to one acre of land.
Rodd Field Village
Page 1 of 6
Acreage fees for the area equals $65,307.69 for wastewater and
$65,307.69 for water or $130,615.38 total.
In addition to acreage fees, the Platting Ordinance requires the
payment of pro-rata fees. Such fee is required to be paid by the
developer as a front foot charge for the portion of water or
sanitary sewer lines fronting the property, required for the
development, but installed by others. In this case the water and
sanitary sewer lines were installed bythe military. Pro-rata fees
are determined at the time the actual frontages of the parcels are
defined in the plat. The annexation service plan for the Rodd
Field VillageArea states that property owners were responsible for
the payment of both acreage and pro-rata fees.
SURVEYING COSTS AND PLATTING FEES
Of the 52 parcels in Rodd Field Village, the Southwestern Bell
property is the only platted parcel.
Application fees to plat Rodd Field Village as a single plat total
$406.25 or $7.97 per parcel. However, if each of the remaining 51
unplatted parcels is platted one at a time as a single plat, the
application fees alone increase substantially. For example, the 51
parcels ranging in size from one to five acres are required to pay
a fee of $250 per parcel compared to $7.97 per parcel.
The cost of surveying by a registered professional surveyor to
submit an application to plat an area is in addition to the
platting application fees. The cost of surveying is directly
affected by the amount of research necessary to substantiate the
ownership and to identify the actual configuration of individual
parcel boundaries. Platting of the area requires the dedication of
numerous utility easements along the existing facilities such as
sanitary sewer, storm sewer and dedication of easements for water
and gas facilities. The estimated cost of surveying the 51
unplatted parcels for platting the area at one time is estimated at
$20,000.00, or $392.16 per parcel. Cost of surveying each parcel
one at a time and preparing 51 individual plat submittals is
estimated at $81,600.00, or $1,600 per parcel. For this reason a
single large plat submittal is less costly and is recommended.
STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The existing street system consists of dedicated public right-of-
ways and private roads. The public street system was dedicated at
the time the federal government disposed of this area as surplus
property in December, 1962. The existing public street system does
not provide for adequate access to individual properties so that
the dedication of additional right-of-way along some private
streets will be required. Exhibit A depicts the proposed street
system. The majority of existing streets are 31.5 feet wide
measured from back of curb to back of curb within 40 feet of right-
of-way without sidewalks.
Rodd Field Village
Page 2 of 6
u~
EXHIBIT-A
The annexation service plan modified the required street design
standards from that specified by the Platting Ordinance. The
modifications to the standards consist of: minimum right-of-way
width of 50 feet; minimum pavement width of 30 fe~t B-B and
eliminated the requirement for sidewalks. The acceptance of the
existing street system requires a variance from the Platting
Ordinance requirement of 60 feet right-of-way width and the
requirement of 4 foot wide sidewalks on each side.
The proposed street system consists of approximately 9,980 linear
feet of which 4,750 linear feet are concrete or concrete base and
5,230 linear feet of gravel/asphalt. All of the streets of
concrete or concrete base are public while 3,700 linear feet of the
gravel/asphalt streets are private roadways that are proposed to be
included in the public street system to ensure adequate access to
the area.
The private roadways proposed to be dedicated as public streets
will require the following construction improvements to bring such
streets in compliance with City Standards:
a) street excavation;
b) lime stabilization of the 6 inch subgrade
compaction;
c) additional base to 8 inches and re-compaction;
d) surfacing with 2 inch asphalt;
e) replacement of 100 percent of curb and gutter;
and re-
The estimated cost of such improvements is $370,000.00.
Minor repairs to existing public concrete/concrete base streets and
curb and gutter are estimated at an additional $20,000.00. Thus
total street improvements are estimated at $390,000.00.
STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
The existing storm sewer system consists of reinforced concrete
pipe installed by the military and is in poor condition as
evidenced by the debris and material in the inlets resulting in
poor drainage. The system consists of approximately 5,340 linear
feet of 12" to 15" RCP and approximately 1,660 linear feet of 18"
tO 21" RCP within dedicated right-of-way and private property. The
smaller lines do not meet the minimum 15 inch pipe diameter, and
the inlets and manholes differ from City Standards and the quality
of construction meets or exceeds City Standards. Waterlines were
found present within certain sections of the storm sewer system
that interfere and can obstruct the flow of storm runoff. These
lines will not remain in service and will require removal.
Exhibit B depicts the Internal Storm Sewer System proposed to be
the public storm sewer system for the area. Dedicated easements

will be required for the storm sewer pipe not within dedicated
easements or right-of-way.
The internal storm sewer system not in dedicated right-Of-way, but
proposed to be public, is in need of repair. The recommended
improvements consist of:
a) Replacement of 50 percent of RCP;
b) Replacement of 50 percent of inlets;
c) Replacement of 50 percent of manholes; and
d) Plugging of 100 per cent of the RCP extensions
interiors.
to lot
Total cost of the minimal improvements to the internal storm system
is estimated at $105,000.00. The existing capacity of the internal
storm system is inadequate for the intensification of development
in the area.
An off-site storm sewer system, shown on Exhibit C installed by the
military conducts the stormwater from the Rodd Field Village Area
toward the Cayo Del Oso. The same system is in poor repair and
requires the following improvement. The replacement of the
existing off-site storm sewer system consisting of approximately
5,200 L.F. of 24 to 30 inch RCP and 14 manholes and not providing
for additional capacity is estimated at $335,000.00.
The off-site storm sewer system is inadequate in capacity to
accommodate future development of the area and will require
construction of storm sewer improvements to provide increased
capacity for the Rodd Field Village area as well as the remaining
area within the same drainage area basin, per the Storm Sewer
Master Plan.
SANITARY SEWER
As evidenced by the date on the manhole covers, the existing system
was constructed in the early 1940's by the military. Although the
lines are in satisfactory condition, the Wastewater Department
reports that several manholes are evidencing infiltration and
require lining or reconstruction. The original rims and covers of
heavy-duty cast iron have rusted and require replacement. Sanitary
sewer lines now under existing structures will be considered
private lines. The dedications of utility easements will be
necessary to acquire for lines that are now on private property.
The Wastewater Department reports that if the area is platted based
on present property ownership a few lines will need to be extended.
Exhibit D identifies the line extensions, any additional manholes
required and the lines to be taken into the City's Wastewater
System.
The sanitary sewer system improvements are estimated at
$110,000.00.

EXHIBIT- D
The Water Department reports the existing system requires total
rehabilitation with the exception of West Logan Stree~ which was
improved in 1990. The existing fire hydrants are not in compliance
with the City Water Distribution System Standards and reliable
records of valve and line locations are lacking. The proposed
waterline system line sizes and hydrant spacing is based on
industrial zoning and is shown on Exhibit E. The water system
improvements are estimated to cost $285,000.00 of which $60,000.00
is eligible to be funded from the Water Transmission and Grid Main
Trust Fund.
STREET LIGHTS
The Platting Ordinance requires that street lights be paid for at
all intersections, at mid-block locations and at abrupt curves in
the roadway alignment. The fee for such street lights as a result
of the dedication of additional streets that are not private is
estimated at $2,000.00.
COST OF REOUIRED INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
Infrastructure improvements are required by the Platting Ordinance
at the time of platting. The cost of bringing the Rodd Field
Village area up to standards to satisfy this requirement are
summarized as followS:

COST PER ACRE
$ 15,200.00
The cost per acre is $15,200.00 and is derived based on the
assumption that the platting is done for the entire 86.73 acres at
one time.
COURSE OF ACTION
Funds for the cost of fees and public improvements required to plat
Rodd Field Village will be borne by the property owners or
subsidized in part by the City. Local input from property owners
is proposed to review the scope and cost of the necessary
infrastructure improvements. This Department is recommending that
City Council endorse a City initiative to resolve the present
deficiencies in the existing infrastructure and that City Council
consider whether City participation in the cost of constructing the
infrastructure improvement is indicated.

Dear Sir:
The proposed Rodd Field Public Improvement District
has included my property in the District. A review
of Chapter 372.003 AD~{ORIZED IMPROVEMENTS, shows
that nothing on the list of 14 items applies to my
property. I have requested by letter previous to the
372.009 HEARING that the boundaries described in
item (4) be revised to exclude my property. Further
at the hearing on 9 October 2000 I made the same request.
The City's offer to plat the property as an improvement
isl (1) not timely,
(2} would not include the same requirements that
would be made if i plat the land,
(3) has no value as tu the usefulness or saleability'
of the property.
Since my property has e~santially nothing in common with
the District, I would llke for you to change the boundary
as requested. A reply is requested before the City
Council hearing 24 October 2000.
sincerely,

AREA C (RODD FIELD VILLAGE AREA)'
Tracts C-1 and C-2 from Area C are located in the southeast
area of th~ city and is the city's major growth area. Bill Witt
Park is located between the two tracts. During the 1940s, Bill
Witt Park and Rodd Field village served as government military
installation functions. Because Rodd Field Village (Tract C-l) was
developed prior to city code enforcement, that area remains
unplatted.
Following is the service plan that the City of Corpus Christi
will provide in accordance with State Statutes to bring newly
annexed areas to an optimum level of service:
