Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 5 regarding the conversion of Nueces County Rural
Fire Prevention District No. 1 to Nueces County Emergency Services District No. 1. City Manager
Garcia said the Council had asked that representatives of the fire prevention district make a
presentation.
Mr. Jeff Atwood, President of Nueces County Rural Fire Prevention District No. 1,
introduced Mr. Larry Stevens, a consultant hired by the district; Mr. Ernest Garza, the district's
accountant; and Mr. Hal George, the district's attorney. Mr. Atwood explained that the fire district
and the Annaville Volunteer Fire Department were established in 1954 and currently it consists of
26 volunteer firemen who operate three fire stations. He said their equipment consists of three
pumper tracks, three brush tracks, two pieces of rescue auto-extraction equipment, and one tanker.
He said they respond to between 35 and 75 calls per month, with about 20 of those occurring within
the Corpus Christi city limits.
Mr. Atwood said that on November 7, 2000, 78% of the voters in that area approved a
proposal to convert Nueces County Rural Fire Prevention District No. 1 to Nueces County
Emergency Services District No. 1. He said that a few years ago, the district met its tax cap of three
cents as a rural fire prevention district. He said the northwest is the fastest growing area of Nueces
County and converting to an emergency services district will allow them the flexibility to run the
department in the future as that area continues to grow. He said prior to the election, the district used
its reserve funding to purchase new equipment to continue providing for the area's needs and to
support neighboring fire departments.
Mr. Atwood said the district hired Mr. Stevens to conduct an Insurance Service Office (ISO)
review. His recommendations included purchasing new equipment which can carry more water and
discharge it very rapidly, as well as to be able to pump water from portable tanks. Mr. Atwood said
the volunteer fire department is initiating a campaign to recruit more volunteers and the fire district
is considering daytime staffing, such as hiring off-duty firefighters or qualified personnel.
Mayor Neal called for public comment.
Mr. Jimmie Till, 6034 Lost Creek, said he thought much of the rural fire district was located
within the city limits, and he questioned whether it was proper for citizens to pay taxes on identical
services. He said he thought that when the fire district was formed, it was located outside the city
limits and now much of it has been annexed by the city.
Mr. Carlos Torres, President of the Corpus Christi Firefighters Association, said the
association is not against the creation of fire districts, emergency services districts, or crime control
districts as long as voters are educated about those issues before they vote. He said he was not sure
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 21, 2000
Page 4
that voters were told what they would be voting on in the 11 precincts that considered the proposal.
Mr. Torres said that 73% or $210,935 of the taxes levied in the district are paid by residents living
inside the Corpus Christi city limits. He said if the district's taxes are increased fi.om three cents per
$100 valuation to 10 cents per $100 valuation, the district's revenue would be over $986,000. He
said additional revenues from charging a reasonable fee for emergency response are also allowed
under the district. He said this issue could have an impact if the city ever wanted to create its own
fire district.
Mr. Torres went on to say that the stated purpose for converting to an emergency services
district (ESD) was to allow the district to purchase additional equipment in order to lower the ISO
rating and to decrease the insurance premiums in the district. He said only residents outside the city
limits would benefit because, according to ISO representatives, rural fire protection district ISO
ratings have no impact on residents of Corpus Christi.
Mr. Torres added that inside the city, volunteer firefighters must work under the Corpus
Christi Fire Department's incident commander. He questioned what will happen when a volunteer
with little or no training is seriously injured or killed in a fire. He said the CCFD is in dire need of
money for equipment; for example, the engine company stationed at Five Points is 20 years old.
With the money generated by the ESD tax, the fire department could purchase additional equipment
and receive a better ISO rating for the entire city, rather than just for that area.
Mr. Bob Andrews, 12050 Up River Road, said his residence is located both within the city
limits and in the rural fire disttrct. He said he has been a fire professional for a long time and he feels
that in general the fire services in this community do not have the necessary resources. He said the
fire district found a way to increase their resources, which a large portion of the electorate supported.
He said the fire district should be commended for hiring a consultant to study this issue and
proceeding as it did. He said he supports the district's actions.
Mr. Jack Gordy said he does not live in the rural fire district, but this is a case where the
voters said they wanted something and their votes should count.
Council Member Betty Jean Longoria said she lives in the northwest and she feels the
election showed that citizens support public safety. Responding to a question from Mrs. Longoria,
Mr. Atwood said that the number of fire calls they receive varies greatly, although there were several
calls this summer regarding brush fires.
In response to another question from Mrs. Longoria, Fire Chief J.J. Adame said that when
an emergency call goes into the public safety dispatch center, they dispatch Corpus Christi fire units
for both fire calls and EMS calls. Mr. Atwood said the volunteer fire department is dispatched
through the Nueces County SheritT s Depa~ hnent anytime Engine 2 or Engine 12 (the two city engine
companies in the northwest area) are dispatched by the city. Chief Adame added that occasionally
calls come into the city's dispatch center from outside the city limits. The dispatch center then
contacts the shift commander, who decides whether to dispatch units outside the city limits. He said
in most of those cases, units are dispatched outside the city limits.

Mrs. Longoria said that as the Council representative for District 1, she has the responsibility
of ensuring that her district receives city services. She said she is aware of the fire deparmaeut's need
for additional equipment, including an ambulance in the northwest area, but budget constraints are
always a factor. She said she is not sure whether a lot of the citizens who voted on the fire district
issue understood that it is not associated with the city.
Mrs. Longoria also asked about training for volunteer firefighters. Mr. Atwood said that with
regard to fires within the city limits, both the CCFD and the volunteer fire department respond. He
said several of the volunteer firefighters perform shift work, such as at the refineries. He said they
also have career firefighters who volunteer off-duty. He said their response time is about 6 to 8
minutes depending on the location. Chief Adame noted that Corpus Christi firefighters respond fi-om
their respective stations, while volunteers have to go to their stations to pick up their equipment first.
It was pointed out that if an engine is called out, other engines are moved around in the city to ensure
adequate emergency coverage.
Mr. Stevens, the fire district's consultant, said that ISO is basically new to the state of Texas.
He said if Annaville's ISO is improved, it would affect everything within five miles in all directions
from the fire station. He said the last time ISO was in Corpus Christi to conduct a rating was in 1990,
and at that time the unoccupied land area was almost half as large as it is today. He said Annaville's
grade was done last year and ISO gave them a list on what they would need to receive the next grade.
Mr. Stevens said he conducted a study of the value of changing ISO grades, and to a person in the
rural Annaville area, the effect could be fi-om $800 to $1,200 a year in fire insurance. He further
described ISO ratings and specific examples of savings. He added that according to the fire district's
meeting minutes during the last year, there has been no discussion of increasing fees or the tax rate.
Mr. Stevens said the only reason the district went fi-om being a rural fire district (RFD) to an
emergency services district (ESD) is because there is a cap on RFDs. He said there are plans in the
legislature to raise that cap. He said if the city did not want the industrial areas to be included in the
fire district, they could remap it. He said the RFDs and ESDs are not allowed to go to bonds, so the
conversion should not affect the city's bonds in any way. He added that ESD funds cannot be used
by the city. Mr. Stevens said the monies generated by the formation of an ESD can improve staffing
at fires and may be used to staff an ambulance if the parties wished.
Responding to Mayor Neal, Mr. Stevens said that inside the city limits and within 1,000 feet
ora fire hydrant, the ISO rating would be Class 4; the rating would be Class 9 inside the city limits
but farther than 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant. The Mayor pointed out that inside the city limits, it is
the city's respousibility--not the emergency services district--to provide fire hydrants. Mr. Stevens
reiterated that iftbe Annaville fire district receives an ISO grade better than the city's grade, it would
change the grade for Corpus Christi residents who live within five miles of any Annaville station.
Council Member Garrett asked if the CCFD automatically responded to calls outside the city
limits. Chief Adame said they do not respond automatically; rather, the shift commander makes that
determination, although in most cases units will be dispatched. He added that when fire units are in
the stations, the CCFD's average response time is about 4.5 minutes.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 21, 2000

Responding to another question from Mr. Garrett, Chief Adame said that CCFD assumes full
command of any incident inside the city limits. He said volunteer units remain on the scene as long
as they think they need to be there or are needed. He added that there is an issue of qualifications
when responding to fire calls, and the volunteer department has been helpful, particularly regarding
brash fires.
Mr. Jim Callis, 11410 Willowood Creek, said he lives inside the city limits and is a CCFD
firefighter. He said shortly before the November 7th election, he began to research the ESD issue and
was told by an insurance agent that inside the city limits, the ISO rating is Class 4. He was told that
the ISO does not look at volunteer services and equipment but rather at city services and equipment.
He was also told by the Fire Marshal's Office that ifa first responder district is established, the tax
rate in the district could go up to 10 cents per $100 valuation. He said that pfior to the election,
information on that issue was vague and insufficient, and he feels that citizens in northwest Corpus
Christi were deceived because they did not receive all the necessary information.
Mr. Stevens replied that Mr. Atwood did not write the article in the newspaper to which Mr.
Callis referred. He also quoted from a letter from an ISO representative which basically stated that
the lowest ISO grade does apply. He said the election did not result in a tax increase; a meeting will
be held if there is an intention at some point to raise the tax.
Mr. Ernest Garza, the district's accountant, distributed information about the district. He said
that according to year 2000 population estimates, the total population within the fire district is
34,405, of which 91.5% (31,480) live inside the city limits and 8.5% (2,925) live outside the city
limits. According to the Appraisal District, 75% of the properties with assessed values are located
inside the city limits and 25% are located outside the city limits. He said fire district officials have
not discussed raising the tax to 10 cents per $I00 valuation; rather, they have discussed raising it
three-fourths of a cent to one cent to pay for additional equipment. He added that according to the
tax collection report through August 31, 2000, the district's year-to-date collection was
approximately $280,000.
Council Member Kinnison asked why fire district officials had not discussed this issue with
city officials sooner, in light of the percentage of city residents who live within the fire district. Mr.
Atwood said the fire district is a small organization and as a commissioner, he does not distinguish
between providing services inside and outside the city limits--he said they provide services for the
whole area within the fire district. He said as a taxing entity, they could not spend any money for the
election and they had to rely on the volunteers themselves.
Responding to Council Member Gonzales, Mr. Atwood and Mr. Garza said they submitted
the names of over 100 registered voters to the County Clerk's Office in order to have their issue
placed on the November 7th ballot.
Mayor Neal asked about the city's options. City Manager Garcia replied that the voters
approved a change in the district's status from a rural fire prevention district to an emergency
services district. He said the city has the option of withdrawing the area within the city limits from
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 21, 2000
Page 7
the rural fire district; by separate action the Council can also exclude the industrial district areas. He
said if the Council does nothing, the fire district will continue according to their plan.
Council Member John Longoria said he would not support pulling out of the rural fire district
until the Council had a public hearing in the northwest area about this issue. Mrs. Longoria agreed
that a public hearing should be held. She said it needs to be explained that the approval of the ESD
opens the door to future tax increases in that area. She said the rural fire district worked many years
ago until the city began annexing many parts of the northwest and the city became responsible for
providing those services.
Responding to Mr. Kinnison, Assistant City Attorney Jay Reining said the Council would
be able to take action, if it wished, during their December 12th meeting because it falls within the
30 days from the date the votes were canvassed. Mr. Kiunison also asked what the effect would be
of the city pulling out of the district. Mr. Garcia said the only fire service within the city limits would
be provided by the CCFD and the rural fire district would be limited to the areas outside the city
limits. He said the CCFD is the first responder to every incident in the city limits and their response
times are substantially shorter than those of the volunteer department. He said he thought there
would be some effect on the resources the city could bring to brash fires. Mr. Kinnison said he would
support holding a public hearing on this issue.
Responding to Council Member Scott, Mr. Reining said the city has the authority to exclude
the industrial districts from a rural fire district but not from an emergency services district. He said
the reason is that the industries have their own fire company but they do not have their own medical
ambulance service. Mr. Scott said he thought that would be a major factor regarding the industries.
Dr. Gonzales said he thought the voters were sending a message about the need for additional
services in the northwest. Mr. Garcia said there is an issue about dissolving a district that has
outstanding debt and he thought the Nueces County RFD has no outstanding debt at this time. In
reply to Dr. Gonzales, Chief Adame said the CCFD has a similar relationship with the Flour Bluff
volunteer fire department. He said they are not sure what the city's liability would be ifa volunteer
firefighter was injured at a fire in which the CCFD was in charge.
Mr. Garcia said staff will put this item back on the agenda prior to the deadline and they will
schedule a public hearing in the northwest prior to December 12th. Mr. Longoria said the issue about
insurance rates needs to be clarified because it is a crucial point.
Mayor Neal called for a brief recess.
Mayor Neal called for petitions from the audience.
Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton, discussed the issue of bus benches containing advertising in the
state highway fights-of-way. He said if the city does not intend for the law regarding advertising in
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 21, 2000
Page 8
the state ROW to be complied with, they should make an effort to get the law changed. He said no
one has been able to show him an exception to the law for home role cities. He said state laws should
not be ignored and violations should not be condoned.
Mr. Jeff Frahm, 13501 Royal Fifth Court, said the Padre Island Business Association and
several other groups are in support of the Packery Channel project and the tax increment financing
(TIF) district. He said their concern is how the petitions seeking to repeal the Council's approval of
the TIF will be presented. He said those in support of the TIF are asking that the Council educate the
public about the issue and enforce the proper presentation of the petitions.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, noted that the deadline for the publication of the city's
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report is next week, and he asked about its status.
Mr. Roland Barrera, representing the Hispanic Contractors Association, said that recently a
motion was passed authorizing the City Engineer to appoint an advisory committee to develop and
recommend plans to allow maximum minority/small contractor and subcontractor participation in
various construction projects. He said that committee has not yet met. Mr. Barrera also asked if
smaller fn'ms would be given the opportunity to participate in the seawall repair contract and the
convention center expansion project.
Council Member John Longoria said that unless there were any objections from Council
members, he wished to direct city staffto prepare a resolution stating the city's intent to ensure that
every possible opportunity be given to local and small businesses to bid on contracts. Council
Member Gonzales said there are minority businesses that are not local but can do the work. He said
he wanted to make sure that the city's contracts are broken up so small businesses can participate.
City Manager Garcia said that currently there are several major contracts--particularly on
larger projects--that do not involve minority contractors but rather nationally known companies. He
said they may have local parmers but they are not local companies. Mr. Longoria said staff should
draft some language and let the Council consider it. Mayor Neal asked staff to bring a proposed
resolution back to the Council at their next meeting on December 12th.
Responding to Council Member Kinnison, Mr. Garcia said staff has received about 24
proposals from architects and engineers on 23 different bond projects. He said they anticipated
making the selections soon after the first of the year. He added that the projects vary in size from
about $900,000 to $5 million to $6 million and the architects are all local firms (with the exception
of the arena project). Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineering Services, explained that the
request for qualifications required 100% local participation by engineers and architects on the bond
package proposals. Mr. Garcia said there is a contract in place with Shiner Moseley & Associates
(a local company) for the preliminary design work on the seawall and staff is discussing amending
that contract. He said they have already sent out national proposals for the convention center
expansion and the arena.
Mr. John Torrey, 7253 Yaupon Dr., noted that Item 22 on the day's agenda is a presentation
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 21, 2000
Page 9
regarding solid waste, and he asked when public comment will be solicited on that issue. Mr. Garcia
said public comment occurs when there is a specific Council vote to be taken, such as appropriations
and contracts. Mr. Torrey said that last year the J.C. Elliott Landfill received more revenue because
of a large amount of roofing and construction materials that were taken there, as opposed to this year.
He said he hoped the Council would solicit comments from professionals on this issue.
Mr. Jimmie Till, 6034 Lost Creek, said he lived at Leopard and Southern Minerals Road from
the time the mrai fire district was established until 1998. He said that on three occasions he called
911 and the city's Rand Morgan engine company was dispatched to his home for a fire and two
medical emergencies.
Mayor Neal referred to the presentations on the day's agenda. The first presentation (Item
22) was regarding a recommendation to increase efficiency and reduce costs in the collection of solid
waste and recyclables in Corpus Christi. Assistant City Manager Ron Massey introduced Mr. Harvey
Gershman, President of Gershman, Brickner & Bratton Inc. (GBB), who in turn introduced Mr. Joe
Mahaffey, Senior Associate at GBB.
Mr. Gershman said GBB is an independent solid waste management consultant that
specializes in planning and implementing solid waste and recycling projects. He said GBB has been
asked by the city to look at its functionality and operations, as well as to assist the city in a full-cost
accounting review. Utilizing a computer presentation, Mr. Gershman said 240 people are employed
in the city's Solid Waste Services (SWS) Department, which has a budget of $16.5 million. He said
the refuse operation consists of curbside collection at 72,300 homes and 1,230 commercial
businesses twice per week, for a total annual amount of 89,000 tons. With regard to recycling, Mr.
Gershman said the city collects at the curbside every other week, for a total of 5,700 tons per year.
Mr. Gershman said the Elliott Landfill, which is city-owned and operated, receives waste
collected by the city, private haulers and other city departments. It includes brush grinding and
household hazardous waste collection operations, and the projected tonnage in FY00-01 is over
467,000 tons per year with a staff of 29 people.
Mr. Mahaffey then reviewed SWS projected revenues and costs for FY00-01. Collection
revenues are estimated to be $11.7 million and landfill revenues (tipping fees, permit fees, and
special project fees) are expected to be $8.8 million, for a total of $20.5 million. Total budgeted costs
(both collections and landfill) are expected to be $16.5 million. He noted that the projected net
revenue of approximately $4 million does not take into consideration the 101,700 tons of waste
disposed by SWS Department at the Elliott Landfill with no revenue credited to the city. Mr.
Gershman said the full-cost accounting analysis will provide a more accurate picture of all the
specific SWS costs. Mr. Gershman and Mr. Mahaffey responded to Council members' questions.
Mr. Mahaffey said a major issue affecting the projected surplus revenue is the new E1 Cenlxo
Landfill operated by Texas Ecologist Inc., which competes with the city's Elliott Landfill. He noted
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 21, 2000
Page 10
that the city's first quarter revenue is down $414,000 over the same period last year. Mr. Mahaffey
also pointed out that in August 1999 the city was cleaning up after Hurricane Bret, which resulted
in a large increase in waste material to the landfill.
Mr. Mahnffey then discussed the existing waste collection labor structure: 36 routes of three-
person crews for five days per week; 132 drivers and laborers employed to ensure 108 daily slots;
additional temporary labor equivalent to 14.59 people. He noted that the city has a tight labor market
and the wage rates for SWS drivers and laborers is not competitive and involves demanding work.
He said the city can expect increased turnover, labor shortfalls, inconsistency of service, and elevated
workers compensation claims.
Mr. Mahaffey explored recommendations for the city's waste collection operation. He said
Corpus Christi--like many cities--is using 1950s technology to pick up its trash. Current technology
provides for fully automated collection, which entails one driver per vehicle picking up 96-gallon
containers (furnished by the city) at the curb. He said there are options for picking up trash both once
per week and twice per week. He said the fully automated collection method is much safer for the
employees and allows them to work longer days at a higher wage (from $8.60 per hour for drivers
to $11 per hour). He pointed out that 68% of the trash per household is now picked up on the first
service day (Monday or Tuesday) and only 32% is picked up on the second service day (Thursday
or Friday).
Mr. Mahaffey described Option 1 of the fully automated collection proposal: twice-per-week
collection; six-day work weeks for 10 hours per day; each vehicle driver would work four, 10-hour
days; the city would operate 24 routes per day consisting of 32 trucks (including spares). The
estimated savings to the city is over $1.4 million per year and the garbage collection labor force
would be reduced from 144 to 54 people. Employee turnover, accidents, workers comp claims, and
complaints would also be reduced. He said Option 2 consists off once-per-week collection operated
over five days per week; each vehicle driver would work five, 9-hour days; the city would operate
15 routes per day with 19 trucks (including spares). Option 2 estimates savings of over $3 million
per year, with the labor force reduced from 144 to 29.
With regard to the recycling collection operations, he said that for seven routes, the city is
losing approximately 13,640 hours per year in "non-productive" time due to the need to sort at the
curb with compartmentalized, non-compaction trucks and to take more trips to the processing
facility. Also, BFI has the ability to sort commingled containers but not commingled papers.
He said Option 1 regarding recycling is as follows: convert to once-per-week collection; use
two-compartment vehicles with compaction capabilities; switch to a one-person crew on each truck;
limit materials collected to allow for a "two-sort" rather than a "three-sort" at the curb; and negotiate
with BFI regarding increased recyclable quantities and pricing. Option 2 is as follows: maintain
once-every-other-week collection but with a fully automated system and convert to a 65-gallon split,
rolling bin (rather than the current 18-gallon bin). He said GBB feels that with these
recommendations and positive education, the recyclable collections could triple, thereby reducing
consumption at the landfill and the collection costs.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 21, 2000
Page 11
Mr. Mahaffey also briefly discussed the city's bulk trash/brush pick-up, which they are not
recommending changing, with the exception of implementing and enforcing the changes to the SWS
ordinance. He said the total annual net savings of both the garbage and recyclables collections is $1.3
million under Option I and $2.6 million under Option 2. Mr. Gershman said the city needs to
complete the full-cost accounting analysis in order to answer the cost issues as well as position the
SWS Department to become an enterprise activity so it can be in compliance with new government
accounting standards.
Responding to Council members' questions, Mr. Mahaffey said the increased salaries and
the purchase cost of the automated equipment was included in the cost assumptions (with a seven-
year depreciation and a 7.75% interest rate). Mr. Lawrence Mikolajczyk, Acting Director of SWS,
said the process is in motion with the upcoming purchase of the automated trucks and the containers;
he said staff will begin implementing the program in late spring 2001. Mr. Garcia said that based on
previous Council direction, staff is proceeding with Option 1 (maintaining the current collection
schedule but automating the system). He added that staff is proposing to bring back some budget
corrections during the December 12th meeting. Mr. Mahaffey noted that collections operations are
labor-intensive, while landfill operations are not.
In response to additional questions, Mr. Massey and Mr. Mikolajczyk explained that staff had
estimated a three-year implementation schedule for the fully automated system. Mr. Massey said
since there is a high turnover rate in collections, the reduction in laborers could be accommodated
through attrition. Mr. Gershman said if the Council wished, the program could be implemented in
one year, which means the savings would be realized much sooner. He added that the "Cash for
Trash" program, which resulted in 833 tons of bulk waste being brought to the landfill by citizens
during six events, keeps the city's costs down. A discussion ensued about landfill costs and the carts
associated with the fully automated system.
Mr. Mikolajczyk then discussed graphs illustrating revenue comparisons for the Elliott
Landfill, which showed decreases in revenue compared to the first quarter of 1999. As discussed
previously, factors involved in those revenue decreases were the results of Hurricane Bret last year
and the opening of the competing landfill this year.
Mayor Neal asked about the possibility of privatizing the landfill operations. Mr.
Mikolajczyk said staff can investigate that possibility after they perform the full-cost accounting
analysis. Mr. Garcia said his main concern is not the Cefe Valenzuela Landfill but rather the loss in
revenues at the Elliott Landfill. He reiterated that as the city orders new solid waste equipment, they
will come back to the Council with recommendations for the fully automated equipment and ways
to expand the pilot program.
Mayor Neai opened discussion on Item 18, Central Power and Light Company (CPL). There
were no comments from the audience. Responding to Council Member Garrett, City Attorney Bray
explained that staff is recommending extending the CPL franchise for one year, which maintains the
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting

4% of gross receipts amount for the term. He noted that gas prices have gone up and that formula
generates more revenue for the city than the kilowatt hour calculation. Mr. Garcia pointed out that
Senate Bill 7 (the electric deregulation bill passed by the Texas Legislature in 1999) goes into effect
on January 1, 2002. At that point, the city will be mandated to shift to the charge per kilowatt hour,
which he explained. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
18. FIRST READING ORDINANCE
Granting a one-year franchise extension to Central Power and Light Company for provisions
of light, heat, and power.
The foregoing ordinance passed on first reading by the following vote: Neal, Cooper, Garrett,
Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Colmenero absent.
The second presentation was regarding expansion plans for the South Texas Institute for the
Arts (STIA). Mr. John Dykema, President of the STIA Board of Trustees, showed a schematic design
from the Legaretta y Legaretta architecture firm in Mexico City. He said the museum's existing
facility is 26,000 square feet and the new facility will be about 22,000 square feet. Mr. Dykema said
the new facility will essentially serve as an educational facility to accommodate the needs of the
Creative Arts Center and the Center for Hispanic Arts, which were merged with the Art Museum of
South Texas. He said there are a variety of issues yet to be resolved and he pointed out the location
of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property.
Responding to Council questions, Mr. Dykema said the STIA is adding a new gallery, coffee
shop, and gift shop with a plaza on the entrance to the ship channel, which will free up those
elements currently in use in the Art Museum facility. The current vault will be mined into the
workshop and preparation shop. Mr. Dykema noted that the Port of Corpus Christi Authority is now
a partner in this effort and negotiations are ongoing. Mayor Neal called for a brief recess.
The third presentation (Item 23) was made by the Commission on Children and Youth. Mr.
Tony Cisneros, Director of Park and Recreation, introduced Ms. Paige Dinn, past chairperson, and
Ms. Paula Rosenstein, current chairperson of the commission.
Utilizing a computer presentation, Ms. Rosenstein discussed the commission's philosophy
and goals, and reviewed their accomplishments in the past year. She said the group's mission is "to
support a comprehensive system of services and advance policies to meet the needs of the city's
children, youth and their families." She said the commission consists of representatives from the
following areas: health, legal, business, social services, law enforcement, youth services, religion,
education, and youth (as well as at-large and advisory members). She said the commission's function
is to serve as the Council's "eyes and ears" for children's and youths' matters in the community and
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 21, 2000
Page 13
to advocate for collaborative efforts on their behalf.
Ms. Rosenstein and Ms. Dinn then discussed progress that has been made on the issues
outlined in the Community Master Plan, which was adopted by the Council in 1997. The main
problems identified in the master plan were child maltreatment, juvenile crime and delinquency,
inadequate educational attainment, and lack of information and evaluation. The goals established
were: ensure a healthy, safe, and secure environment; establish effective prevention, intervention,
and enforcement programs for youth; increase the educational attainment of all children; and
establish effective communication and measurable program outcomes.
Ms. Dinn said cooperative initiatives have been established with the following organizations:
Operation Weed & Seed, 78415 Community Youth Development, Youth Opportunities United,
Nueces County Community Plan, America's Promise, Governor's Mentor Initiative, and Success by
Six. Ms. Rosenstein said the commission has set the following goals: establish a community-wide,
comprehensive child protection system; solidify the process for collaborative, at-risk youth
interventions; expand collaborative, stay-in-school initiatives; and fully integrate the use of the
comprehensive strategy initiative to base action on community data, valid research, and evaluation-
proven outcomes. Ms. Dinn then outlined the grants that have been obtained for these programs,
which total approximately $5.7 million. Mayor Neal thanked Ms. Rosenstein and Ms. Dinn and the
rest of the commission members for all of their hard work and dedication.
The fourth presentation (Item 24) was made by Mr. Cisneros regarding the 78415 Community
Youth Development (CYD) program. In a computer presentation, Mr. Cisneros described the
formation of the CYD program beginning in 1995 when the 74th Texas Legislature allocated $10.5
million to the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services (TDPRS) to fund the CYD
program. Eleven counties with the highest violent juvenile crime rates were identified and within
those counties, the zip code with the highest juvenile probation referral rate was identified as a CYD
site. The 78415 zip code was identified as the CYD site within Nueces County.
Mr. Cisneros also discussed how the city of Corpus Christi assumed the role of fiscal agent
for the CYD program in June 1997. He said CYD funds are provided via a contract between TDPRS
and the fiscal agent, which in turn subcontracts with local service providers. He explained that youth
ages 17 and younger (and their families) who live or attend school in 78415 are eligible to receive
CYD services free of charge. Over 5,600 youth and their family members have received services
since the beginning of the program. Mr. Cisneros also discussed the responsibilities of the 78415
CYD Steering Committee, the fiscal agent, the project coordinator, and YACTION (Youth Always
Caring to Improve Our Neighborhood).
Mr. Cisneros described the CYD request for proposal process. Council Member John
Longoria said there was concern about one organization receiving $330,000 and he commented on
the need to set a cap on the amount that one organization can receive. Mr. Cisneros said the 78415
CYD Committee just received training on the RFP process and they will consider those concerns.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 21, 2000
Page t 4
Mr. Longoria said the CYD program should be involved with other youth efforts, such as the
Commission on Children and Youth.
Mr. Cisneros said that CYD program service providers from 1997-2000 include: CCISD,
Communities in Schools, Corpus Christi Public Library, Juvenile Justice Center, Housing Authority
of Corpus Christi, Paisano Girl Scout Council, Park and Recreation Department, Volunteer Center
of the Coastal Bend, Weed & Seed, Workforce Development Corporation, Youth Odyssey, and
YWCA of Corpus Christi. Mayor Neal thanked staff and the committee for their efforts.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 16, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the
public hearing on the following zoning case:
16.
Case No. 0900-02. Virgil Hino_iosa: A change of zoning from an "R-IB" One-family
Dwelling District to an "R~2" Multiple Dwelling District on Tract 1 and "B-I" Neighborhood
Business District on Tract 2, being 5.44 acres out of a 234.24-acre tract out of the McKinzie
388.290-acre tract in Survey 411, located on the south side of Up River Road, approximately
2,250 feet east of McKinzie Road.
City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission recommended approval of the "R-2"
Multiple Dwelling District on Tract 1 and "B-1" Neighborhood Business District on Tract 2. Staff's
recommendation was denial of the "B-l" District on Tract 2 and approval of the "R-2" District on
Tracts 1 and 2. He noted that the ordinance before the Council was the Planning Commission's
recommendation.
Mr. Miguel Saldafia, City Planner III, said the applicant proposed to develop the vacant tract
of land into two tracts: 4.15 acres as townhouse development and 1.29 acres as a neighborhood
business containing approximately 8,400 square feet of floor area. He said the area is currently
undeveloped and a road (Deer Run Drive) is being developed on the west side of the subject
property. Across Deer Run Drive to the west, the property has been platted for development of an
elementary school. He said the Northwest Area Development Plan recommends that the area along
the south side of Up River Road develop with low-density residential and with medium-density
residential on the north side of Up River Road. He said staff is concerned about traffic problems and
land-use compatibility if a business is located close to an elementary school.
Responding to Council Member Betty Jean Longoria, Mr. Saldatia said the "B-lA" zoning
district prohibits drive-through restaurants, pawn shops, liquor stores, and fueling stations, which
the "Bo I" district allows. Council Member John Longoria discussed specifics about the business
development in vicinity of the school and the roads in that area. Mayor Neal called for comments.
Mr. Victor Medina, representing Mr. Virgil Hinojosa, said the traffic generated by the
proposed business would be generated at different times than the school traffic. He said the owner
does not intend to place any alcohol-related businesses on the property. Responding to Council

Member Kinnison, Mr. Medina said a similar situation exists (a business located near an elementary
school) at Rodd Field and Williams and also at Wooldridge and Airline. He said "B-lA" zoning
would be expensive because of the masonry fences required and other restrictions. He said the
applicant is seeking "B-I" zoning. Ms. Cooper made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded
by Mr. Scott, and passed (Colmenero absent). Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes:
16. ORDINANCE NO. 024287

*************
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 21, Corpus Christi's legislative program. Assistant
City Manager Tom Utter explained that during the last legislative session in 1999, almost 6,000 bills
were introduced and over 1,600 actually passed. He said about 1,230 of the bills were city-related
and, of those, more than 130 passed. He noted that a large percentage of cities' efforts are directed
at stopping legislation that would negatively affect cities. He commended Corpus Chfisti's
legislative delegation for their support and action. Mr. Utter said the 2001 session will be difficult
because much of the focus will be on the redistricting that is conducted every 10 years.
Mr. Utter then went through Corpus Christi's proposed legislative program, in which he
highlighted specific elements listed as "Priority," "Actively Support" and "Endorse." Under
Financial Integrity, Mr. Utter discussed franchise fees, state hotel tax for beach maintenance, and
street accessibility improvements. Under Essential Infrastructure, items discussed were water and
transportation (including resources, funding for construction and maintenance, and streamlining).
Under Community Protection and Development, Mr. Utter briefly described regulation of
location of manufactured housing, windstorm insurance, marine archeological repository funding,
affordable housing, historic courthouse preservation, and dune protection. Mr. Utter said that under
Children and Youth, an important issue is juvenile crime, and under the heading of Education, he
said higher education is a priority. Council Member Gonzales suggested that wording be included
to support local school districts in their efforts to pass legislation that benefits children. There was
consensus of the Council to include that wording.
Mr. Utter said that under Public Safety and Health, important issues are the child safety
registration fee, fire control and prevention district, and photographic traffic signal enforcement;
under Utilities, issues discussed were electric industry deregulation and right-of-way control. Mr.
Utter said important issues under Environment include effluent use, air quality, National Estuary
Program, regional water planning, and glass and plastic bottles. An important issue under Personnel
is city medical providers, and under Economic Development issues include military, spaceport, and
e-commerce taxation. With regard to Efficient Administration, issues discussed were design-build,
procurement, and sales tax pledge.
Mr. Utter then responded to Council members' questions. Following additional discussion
on various legislative issues, Dr. Gonzales made a motion to include wording to support local school
districts as a priority item, seconded by Mr. Longoria, and passed (Colmenero and B. Longoria
absent). Mayor Neal called for comments from the audience.

Mr. Carlos Torres, President of the CCFA, discussed formation of the fire prevention district,
and he delineated ways that funds from that district can be spent to benefit the city.
Council Member Kinnison said some of the other cities that are interested in fire prevention
districts have reached their sales tax caps; consequently, this proposal would have to be funded
outside of the cap in order for it to be feasible. Mr. Chapa polled the Council as follows:

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 8, airport terminal construction. Responding to
Council Member Gonzales, Mr. Kevin Stowers, Acting Assistant Director of Engineering Services,
said the $420,920 amendment consists of three basic areas of work. He said the construction phase
services to be performed by Gensler & Associates have expanded because the construction duration
has gone from 18 months to 24 months. He said the second part consists of additional design phase
services that were requested by the airport, and the final item relates to laboratory and testing
services that need to be performed during the construction phase.
Council Member John Longoria asked about having two construction managers at the airport.
Mr. Stowers said that DMJM is the project manager for the terminal construction as well as a series
of additional construction projects (improvements to the parking lot, utilities, terminal apron, etc.).
He said the city is hiring the Anderson Group to perform part-time resident inspection services.
Mr. Dave Hamrick, Airport Operations Manager, said the next action at the airport will be
construction of a temporary roadway in front of the airport. Mr. Garcia added that DMJM's job is
to manage the contractors and designers and staff has been satisfied with their work. Mr. Longoria
suggested that the Council receive quarterly reports on the airport project. Mayor Neal agreed that
every major project should have the same kind of critical path that was used with the dam
stabilization project. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

Kirmison, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Colmenero and B. Longoria absent.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 9, airport vehicle by-pass. Responding to Dr.
Gonzales, Mr. Hamrick said the bid specifications called for the successful contractor to provide the
city with a traffic control plan but staff did not factor in any cost for that. He said Fulton
Construction/Coastcon provided a plan but it was unacceptable, so they developed this alternate plan.
City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
9. M2000-414
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute Change Order No. 1 with

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 19, concession services. Responding to Council
Member John Longoria, Mr. Hal Peterson, Director of Convention Facilities, said the contract is for
both the convention center and Memorial Coliseum. He said the city's contract with the IceRays
states that they pay the city a flat fee for the concession rights during the period they are in the
coliseum. Mr. Garcia stated that that contract is very lucrative for the IceRays while it is also a "hold
harmless" agreement for the city. There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa
polled the Council for their votes as follows:
19. ORDINANCE NO. 024289
Ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a lease agreement with Noble Food
Service, Inc. to provide concessions services at the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center and
Memorial Coliseum for the period beginning at 3:01 a.m. on January 1,2001, to January 1,

An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed: Neal, Cooper, Garrett,
Gonzales, Kinnison, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Colmenero, B. Longoria absent.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 20, fuel station lease. City Attorney Bray explained
that on October 31, 2000 the Council approved an assignment of two leases for a restaurant and fuel
station from the Lighthouse Restaurant to Landry's Crab Shack Inc. He said although Landry's is
only interested in the restaurant lease, both leases have a cross-default clause. Mr. Bray said Landry's
is asking that the section of the restaurant lease which has the cross-default provision be excised
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 21, 2000
Page 24
from the lease. Landry's is also asking that the fuel station lease be either amended or terminated in
such a way that the fuel station is moved to another location.
Mr. Bray said staff developed an alternate ordinance to address those issues. He said the
proposal is to terminate the fuel station lease outright by mutual agreement with the Marina Fuel
Corporation (their representative has been present at the negotiations). Mr. Peter Davidson, Marina
Superintendent, described a possible location for the fuel station.
Council Member Kinnison made a motion to adopt the substitute ordinance as discussed by
Mr. Bray, seconded by Council Member Garrett, and passed (Colmenero and B. Longoria absent).
There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes:

Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia said the Council received the
quarterly update on fmancial and depathnental performance in the City Manager's transmittal dated
November 17, 2000. He said staffanticipates that the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report will
be distributed to the Council on November 28, 2000. He added that a hearing on the rural fire district
issue is scheduled for December 5, 2000, at 6:30 p.m. at the Northwest Senior Center.
In his report, Mayor Neal said the chairperson of the Dallas 2012 Olympic Committee asked
that Corpus Christi provide all the yachting service in Dallas' bid for those Olympic games. The
Mayor asked Deputy City Manager Noe, Mr. Cisneros, and Mr. Davidson to meet with him. He then
called for Council concerns and reports.
Mr. Longoria asked about specific language in the request for proposals for the collection of
delinquent Municipal Court fines. Mr. Garcia said staff will look into it. Mr. Longoria also asked
about Jazz Festival funding. Mr. Whitworth said the Jazz Festival receives $7,500 as a line item
budget allocation each year. He said they have a contract just as all the line item arts agencies have
which requires recognition of the city as a sponsor in advertising and promotional materials. Mr.
Kinnison complimented staff on the quarterly financial report.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjourned the
Council meeting at 8:15 p.m. on November 21, 2000.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
December 12, 2000
PRESENTATION ITEM:
UPDATE TO THE NORTHWEST AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN AS AN ELEMENT
OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE AREA GENERALLY
BOUNDED BY THE NUECES RIVER ON THE NORTH, RAND MORGAN ROAD
ON THE EAST, S.H. 44 AND THE ROBSTOWN CITY LIMITS ON THE SOUTH
AND THE CORPUS CHRISTI EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION TO THE
WEST; AND ESTABLISHING THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI'S POLICIES FOR
GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT AND AESTHETICS FOR THE NORTHWEST AREA.
ISSUES:
· A significant amount of development is occurring in the Northwest Area. An updated
Comprehensive Plan is needed to keep up with land development issues. The
currently adopted Plan was approved by the City Council in 1988.
· An updated Plan is necessary to ensure:
Appropriate Capital Improvement Projects for the Northwest Area;
An efficient street network is provided during the land subdivision process; and
Citizens have an opportunity to participate in the planning process.
The City Charter requires that the City update the Comprehensive Plan at least once
every five years. The Bluntzer Area (west of County Road 73), which does not have
an adopted Area Development Plan, and the portion of the Port/Airport/Violet ADP
north of S.H. 44 and west of Rand Morgan Road, have been incorporated into the
updated Northwest Area Development Plan.
The growing traffic congestion in the Northwest area is well known and has provided the
primary stimulus for this updated Plan. The Plan provides a guide for long term capital
improvements, which will help relieve current and projected traffic congestion. Future
land use is also addressed since the transportation network is a function of the land uses
that it will serve. In addition, the planning process has provided an opportunity for other
issues of concern to be brought up by City service departments (Water, Wastewater,
Stormwater, etc.), City boards and commissions, and the general public. For this reason,
the plan format includes policy recommendations on all of the topical areas typically
covered by an Area Development Plan.

MINUTES
October 25, 2000 - Northwest Area Development Plan Public Hearing
Mr. Gunning stressed the importance of the Northwest Area Development Plan and stated that an
updated plan is needed to address this high growth area especially along FM 624. He continued that the
Northwest plan could be used as a tool to assist Staff when meeting with developers. The current plan was
adopted by City Council in 1988.
Vice Chairman Mires thanked Council Member Betty Jean Longoria for attending the public
hearing.
Mr. Robert Payne, Senior Planner, highlighted five (5) areas to be covered in his presentation of
the Northwest Plan: Planning Boundaries; Planning Process; Why Plan'?; Northwest Issues; and Draft Plan
Highlights. The plan boundaries were described as North -Nueces River; East - Rand Morgan Road; South
- State Highway 44 and Robstown City Limits; and West - Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (five miles). Mr.
Payne stated that the plan is in draft roma and is an update to the current Northwest Area Development
Plan. The Northwest Plan area has been expanded to encompass the Bluntzer area to the west of the 1988
Northwest Plan.
Mr. Payne described the planning process, which included several meetings with the Northwest
Planning Group, Tuloso-Midway Independent School District, and the Northwest Business Association on
several occasions. He continued that City Charter requires a public hearing before the Planning
Commission, after which the Planning Commission can make a recommendation to City Council.
Mr. Payne outlined the reasons for developing a plan. The Plan will provide the City with a guide
for thture zoning, future street improvements when subdividing, and a guide for the City's Capital
Improvement Program. With regard to street improvements, the street plan is useful in addressing right-of-
way issues and street layout when a property owner wants to subdivide property. One of the most
important reasons for developing a plan is to obtain community input on plan issues and to formulate a
long-range vision for the area.
There are at Ieast two (2) major issues addressed by the plan. The primary issue is future use of
the vast vacant land in the study area (89 percent - vacant). Since 1990, the population growth in the
Northwest area is estimated to be three percent (3%) per year while the City's population growth rate is one
percent (1%) per year.
The second issue addressed in the plan is traffic congestion on Northwest Boulevard (F.M. 624).
From 1995 through 2000, traffic volume increases per year were the highest in the city, averaging 12% per
year over a five-year period. The existing traffic capacity on FM 624 is 30,000 trips per day and the traffic
volume on FM 624 is quickly approaching 30,000 trips per day. It is clear that major street improvements
will need to be constructed to accommodate future traffic as the Northwest area develops.
Northwest Area Development Plan
Agenda Memorandum
December 12, 2000

Other issues include maintaining or improving water quality in the Nueces River. Much of the
stormwater in the area flows into the Nueces River and is treated by the City's regional water treatment
facilities. As urbanization continues, most of the storm runoff in the western portion of the Northwest area
will flow into the Nueces River Drinking Water Watershed. Stormwater runoff from an urban area is
generally more polluted than from an undeveloped area.
Area residents identified an issue of concern as the encroachment of heavy industry adjacent to
residential areas. Mr. Payne presented a slide illustration of the future land use plan. He indicated that the
western portion of the study area proposes less intense development. Plan recommendations for the Five
Points area is commercial along US 77, which serves as the main corridor for international trade traffic.
The current plan illustrates residential development along U.S. 77. Commercial development is
recommended along FM 624. Typical residentiaI urban density similar to the south side or Wood River
area is recommended for the area west of US 77 to County Road 73. As compared to the 1988 plan, there
is more residential and less industrial development recommended for the Tuloso-Midway area.
A major area of concern is the street system in the Northwest area. The transportation network is
used to def'me what the city needs during the development process for private Iand and to define street
improvements in the Capital Improvement Program. Arterial streets, such as FM 624, function to move
traffic across town. The draft plan reconmaends FM 624 as a six-lane arterial street with a median.
Concerning County Road 52, the 1988 plan recommended County Road 52 as a 4-lane collector street to tie
into Starlight Lane. The draft Plan reconunends County Road 52 be a four-lane arterial street with a
landscaped median. The draft Plan also includes an overpass at the intersection of US 77 and County Road
52. TxDot is including this overpass, on County Road 52, in their plans. The purpose of County Road 52
would be to serve as an east/west relief route to traffic on FM 624 and would bring the Calallen and
Tuloso-Midway areas together.
Mr. Payne stated that FM 624 does not have the opportunity for another paralleling arterial street
to the north due to the placement of the river. Usually, creating arterial streets in a grid pattern solves
congestion problems. When one arterial becomes congested, there is an opportunity to navigate to the next
adjacent arterial. County Road 52 becomes key due to the fact that there is no other arterial near FM 624.
Vice Chairman Mims stated that at a previous meeting regarding the Northwest area, Mr. Billy
Parks, District Engineer for Texas Department of Transportation, recommended that County Road 52 be
constructed with a 120-foot minimum right-of-way. Mr. Payne stated that the draft plan illustrates an urban
cross section that includes curb and guider, therefore, the roadway may be narrower. He also indicated that
staff would consult with TxDot about the appropriate right-of-way width. The intent of the Plan is to be
coordinated with TxDot.
Another feature of the transportation plan is a collector street that would parallel US 77. This
collector would serve a purpose similar to McArdle and William Drive which also parallel a freeway.
Mr. Payne indicated that the draft plan illustrates a "collector connector" south of the Wal-Mart
store and between US 77 and heading west then northward and connecting with Wildcat Drive between the
Hospital and the medical clinic. He stated that it would be difficult to make this colmection since there is
very little room for a road next to the Hospital. He indicated two other options: connect with River East
Drive; or connect with the collector proposed to parallel U.S. 77 and not extend west or northward. Staff
is concerned that a connection with River East would be opposed by River Ridge Subdivision and a
connection to the proposed collector parallel with US 77 would do little to solve the congestion problem.
Regarding the proposed South Loop, the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), asked Staff
to participate with TxDot and the County in a study to discuss the long-term vision to relieve traffic on
S.P.I.D. The South Loop Plan adopted by the MPO illustrates a freeway paralleling S.P.I.D. and eventually
connecting to Interstate 37 in the northwest area. The freeway would cross the Nueces River at Carbon
Plant Road and extend to US 77. A key connection in the proposed South Loop is to the Joe Fulton
Northwest Area Development Plan
Agenda Memorandum
December 12, 2000
Page 6
Corridor. The proposed Joe Fulton Corridor will open property on the north side of the Port and is
proposed to connect to Carbon Plant Road. The benefit of the South Loop would be to relieve traffic
congestion for S.P.I.D., connect with the Port with another major trade corridor, provide a secondary access
during emergency evacuations, and provide connectivity between the Northwest area and the remainder of
the city. Major concerns of the project include the crossing of an environmentally sensitive area of the
Nueces River Delta.
Mr. Payne referred to the addendum to the plan. He stated that the Stormwater Policy E.6 has
been reworded to refer to Northwest stormwater issues rather than to just the Wood River Area. A new
policy was submitted by the library which indicates that the Northwest branch is undersized and should be
of similar size and capacity as other libraries in the city.
Commissioner Amsler expressed concem with allowing development of one residence per five (5)
acres in the flood plain. He stated that he has major concerns with any type of development that is
occurring in a flood plain area and asked whether a developer would need a permit from the Corps of
Engineers to develop in a flood plain. Commissioner Amsler stated that he considers the area one of only a
few remaining pristine areas in the Corpus Christi and does not believe that any development should be
allowed in the flood plain. He suggested that development in the flood plain area should be very restrictive
or even prohibited.
Commissioner Kelly stated that he attended the meetings held with City staff and thanked Staff for
their participation. He stated that there were numerous questions and suggestions by the Northwest
Planning Group/Northwest Business Association and staff has made substantial changes to the original
draft in order to incorporate those suggestions. He said that he feels the plan is responsive to the concerns
of the Northwest area residents. In response to Commissioner Kelly's question regarding a short-term plan
for relieving traffic congestion in the Wal-Mart area, Mr. Payne stated that staff would like to discuss the
issues with the Commission before making a final recommended. Commissioner Kelly indicted that the
option to tie back into the proposed parallel collector would do little if anything to solve the traffic problem
at Five Points since the route would go south rather than west. Staff agreed. The collector between the
Hospital was also discussed and that bringing traffic back to Wildcat Drive was still too close to the traffic
congestion of the Five Points area. Extending the collector south of the River Ridge Subdivision was also
discussed but mled out since subdivision has been approved for the property south of River Ridge.
Mr. David Seiler, Traffic Engineer, stated that there is a changing emphasis on County Road 52
and FM 624 improvements. He stated that he and Mr. Parks, TxDot, believe that County Road 52 needs to
be improved as soon as possible. Improving FM 624 first would only create one (1) additional lane in each
direction of travel. If County Road 52 is improved first, there would be an increase of two (2) lanes in each
direction of traffic, which would result in a net increase of lanes over improvement to FM 624. In response
to Commissioner Kelly's question regarding the priority status of road improvements, Mr. Seller continued
that TxDOT and MPO are currently developing the FY 2002/2004 Texas Improvement Plan. With regard
to the timetable for the improvement, Mr. Seiler stated that discussions are necessary to establish County
Road 52 improvements as a Priority 2 project. If County Road 52 improvements are upgraded to a Priority
2 project, the improvements could be accomplished in eight (8) years. Commissioner Kelly expressed
concerns xvith the long timetable for establishing relief at FM 624 near Wal-Mart. He continued that he
believed the traffic congestion is dangerous and is at capacity. Mr. Seiler stated that City management and
the Nueces County Judges office need to discuss increasing prioritization of County Road 52
improvements. Currently, County Road 52 is outside of city limits.
Council Member Betty Jean Longoria stated that she, David Seiler, and Billy Parks are in
agreement that County Road 52 needs to be improved. She stated that discussions regarding County Road
52 improvements need to held among City, County, and State. Council Member Longoria continued that
after discussions with Mr. Parks, it was decided that County Road 52 would relieve traffic congestion at the
Five Points area by creating another parallel roadway to FM 624. She emphasized the necessity for traffic
relief in the Northwest area as soon as possible. She stated that the South Loop would assist during

evacuations, but does not address traffic issues in the Northwest area. Council Member Longoria stated
that staff should fred ways to direct traffic southward as capacity exists to handle traffic on State Highway
44.
Mr. Seiler stated that the time schedules to improve County Road 52 are in the framework of a
state-administered project, using Metropolitan Mobility Funds. The sponsor bears a 20 percent (20%)
share of the cost. He stated that he does not believe that the project needs to be constructed as a state-
highway administered project and could be a city/county joint venture project. The joint venture could be
considered in the next bond election to allow construction within an earlier timeframe.
Commissioner Sween-McGloin expressed concern with development in the flood plain area due to
the fact that the area is used for birding, hawk watch, and other environmental uses.
In response to Commassioner Sween-McGloin's concern regarding heavy industrial areas, Mr.
Payne stated that to be consistent with other adopted area development plans, the Northwest Plan illustrates
a 1,000 foot light industrial buffer surrounding heavy industry that is currently in existence.
Mr. Payne stated that Staff plans to recommend for adoption of a unified area development plan to
assist in the establishment of an overlay area regarding the airport flight pattern. At this time, anyone
developing in the Port/Airport/Violet area needs to review several plans to identify the flight pattern. The
proposed Northwest Plan is compatible with adjacent Airport Plan areas and flight patterns.
Mr. Payne addressed Commissioner Sween-McGloin's question regarding "colonias' by stating
that there are issues surrounding colonias, in particular Suburban Acres. The city and county recently
placed a waterline in the area located outside the city limits. There are only minimal development controls
in these outside city limits areas. Staff is working on implementing a new state law which would give the
city greater control over requiring that the platting ordinance be followed before development occurs.
With regard to the Policy Statement B.4, Commissioner Sween-McGloin stated that she
appreciated the inclusion of visual enhancement and scenic corridors and asked for clarification of the
Highway Beautification Ordinance. Mr. Payne stated that the Highway Beautification Ordinance requires
certain spacing of billboards along state highway and controls offsite signage.
Mr. Payne stated that the landscape ordinance addresses scenic drives. The area within the street
yard has a landscape requirement of 0.02 points, which relates to an amount of landscaping per square foot
of street yard area. The Northwest Plan recommends 0.04 points and can be obtained by placing trees on
the property. The emphasis is on trees to reduce visual blight from overhead power lines. Currently, staff
is concentrating on the Northwest plan; however, staff is considering a higher point requirement in the
unified citywide plan.
Commissioner Sween-McGloin stated that she is excited about the inclusion of the Nueces River
Hike and Bike Trail System and hoped that it would be coordinated and dove-tailed with the Parks Plan
that is being promoted.
Commissioner Salazar addressed the issue of development near the flood plain area by stating that
he would be opposed to "no development" in the flood plain since the area is so large, about 8,000 acres.
Commissioner Salazar's questioned the recommendation to develop the 8,000 acres with one (1) unit per
five (5) acres. Mr. Payne stated that the requirement is the lowest density land use category. Staff
attempted to match the land use with the available zoning district. Mr. Gunning clarified that there is no
zoning outside the city limits; however, Staff is concerned with allowing property owners a reasonable use
of their property. Commissioner Salazar requested that Staff investigate other cities' use and consideration
of detention ponds to allow development and not have restrictions. He mentioned Garner State Park and
Austin with the Guadeloupe River as examples of flood plains with homes built along the river.

ComnUssioner Amsler stated that the flooding issue is not the main concern to discourage
development, but rather a wetlands issue. He suggested that the Corps of Engineers 404 Permit be a
requirement for any development in the floodplain. Such a requirement would make any development in
the flood plain mitigate the loss of any wetlands areas. He stated that detention ponds are viable options
provided the economics of the development work. comm~ssinner Salazar said he was familiar with the
area and that much of the land is not wetlands and is developable. He expressed concern that such an
8,000-acre area not be allowed to develop. ConUmssioner Sween-McGloin stated that the Coastal Bend
Land Trust, an environmental group, is in a position to pay landowners for their land that is in the same
situation. She stated that it is important for this Comrmssion to understand what the land trust is and ~vhat
is available.
Vice Chairman Mires opened the public hearing.
Warren Albright, President of the Northwest Business Association, 11618 Willowood Creek
Drive, thanked Commissioner Kelly for assisting in bring the Association and City staff together to discuss
issues important to the Northwest residents. Mr. Albright stated that County Road 52 is a necessity for
traffic relief. He stated that he understands that funding has been granted for the US 77 improvements to
tie Robstown into the Five Points area. Traffic will increase in the Northwest area; therefore County Road
52 improvements need to be addressed as soon as possible. Mr. Albright stated that the Wal-Mart traffic is
a major concern. It is impossible to attempt to travel north when leaving the Wal-Mart store. He suggested
that a solution would be to travel behind Wal-Mart and the hospital and connect with River East Drive in
order to reach a signalized intersection. The residents on River East have received approval from the City
to block access onto River East at County Road 69. He expressed concern with future plans to place
medians on FM 624 when it is widened due to the fact that it would create an impossibility to make a left
turn from the Wal-Mart parking lot.
Public hearing was closed.
In response to Comnnssioner Kelly's concern with the lack of relief routes to Five Points traffic,
Mr. Gunning stated that Staff would prefer to illustrate a collector connection from US 77 south of Wal-
Mart and connecting with River East Drive
Vice Chairman Mims stated that she was concerned with the subdivision blocking traffic which
could prevent emergency vehicles from being able to enter the subdivision from all points. Commissioner
Sween-McGloin concurred. She stated that the Platting Ordinance needs to be rewritten to address
development providing as many opportunities for residents to traverse ttu:ough the subdivision.
Motion by Kelly, seconded by Sween-McGloin, to forward the recommendation to City Council
after changes have been made to the Draft Northwest Area Development Plan including a collector street
connection between U.S. 77, south of Wal-Mart, to connect with River East Drive. Motion passed
unanimously with Cheek, Richter, Zamora, and Berlanga being absent.
Vice Chairman Mims requested that a letter from the Planning Commission be sent to the City
Council and County Commissioners addressing Commission concerns ~vith County Road 52.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS SUBMITTED FOR COMMITTEE APPROVAL OR
REVIEW
Staff Presentation of Northwest Area Development Plan Update. A
recommendation from the Committee is requested to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Seiler gave a brief introduction on this matter and introduced the City's Planning
Staff. Mr. Bob Payne, City Planner with the Planning Department gave a brief overview
and emphasized that land use and the transportation issues are the primary issues of
concern for this plan update. The first Northwest Area Development Plan was adopted
in 1988 by City Council. As part of the update process this plan area is recommended to
expand to include what is sometime referred to as the Bluntzer Area and the western edge
of the Port/Airport/Violet Area. The Plan area is bounded by the Nueces River on the
north, Rand Morgan Road and Carbon Plant Road on the east. State Highway 44 and
Robstown city limits on the South and the Corpus Christi Extraterritorial Jurisdiction to
the west.
Northwest Boulevard (FM 624) is recommended as an arterial with an ultimate 120'
minimum right-of-way, six Ianes and a median.
County Road 52 (CR 52) is recommended as an arterial with an ultimate 100' minimum
right-of-way, 4 lanes and a landscaped median. CR 52 is a recommended new madway
between County Road 75 to the west and the proposed South Transportation Loop to the
east. Portions of CR 52 east from the South Loop Transportation and west from County
Road 75 are recommended as a collector and also serve as a relief route for through
traffic to avoid Northwest Boulevard (FM 624).
Mr. Foster expressed concern of the exit at IH 37/FM 624@US 77, stating it was as a
very dangerous exit. Mr. Payne stated he knew of no solutions at the present time. Mr.
Seiler stated as a likely solution would be the construction of a flyover (over the
southbound US 77 main lanes), this according to the Deputy District Engineer, Bryan
Wood with the Texas Department of Transportation.
Mr. Gunning thanked the Committee for the opportunity to present the proposal and will
pass on their comments to the Planning Commission.

Mr. Seller stated that a Public Meeting was held at Calallen High School regarding
TxDOT's US 77 Expressway Project, which effects the Northwest Area Transportation
Plan. The Northwest Business Association is working with the City in keeping the public
abreast concerns of the community. Dr. Wadell, Superintendent of the Tuloso Midway
School District is concerned about the proposal of the South Loop Connector relating to
land issues surrounding the schools. Nueces County has as an interest for this area also.
Mr. Gunning further stated that all the entities are moving to an era of regional planning.
Motion made by Mr. Moss, seconded by Mr. Davenport that Connmt~ee recommends that
this plan be adopted relating to transportation issues. Motion passed.

ISSUES
Change light industrial uses to residential uses south of County Road 48 (extended)
between Rand Morgan and McKinzie Roads except for Industrial District No.2 and
associated buffer. A specific alignment for the South Loop could be shown as an
additional buffer between residential uses to the north and east and the industrial
buffer. Note: The location of this additional residential area is approximately 2 ½
miles from the end of the future parallel runway proposed for Corpus Christi
International Airport. This distance is well within the City's standard for maintaining
a 1 ½ mile separation between residential areas and the end of CC International
Runways.
The Committee also suggested residential uses be changed to light industrial or
office/commercial for Equistar (formerly Oxychem) ownership - for property that
Equistar has purchased for a protective buffer to the north of the plant site. Staff is
considering designating this buffer area as Agricultural and Rural on the Plan.
Minimize Industrial District No. 2 and its heavy industrial uses to only those areas
between the three existing heavy industries and buffer sparingly with light industrial/
business/office uses. Also, consider adding heavy industrial uses within the Nueces
River floodplain to the north and the area north of State Highway 44 and between the
Northwest Area Development Plan
Agenda Memorandum
December 12, 2000
Page 12
projection of the North-South rtmway and the Southeast-Northwest nmway of the
airport. Additional heavy industrial uses could also be designated in the area between
the Airport and the old Cudihay Field and west of Old Brownsville Road. This would
provide additional areas for heavy industrial uses in areas which will not adversely
affect existing and future residential areas in the Northwest area from noxious fumes
carried by prevailing southeasterly breezes, etc.
The Committee would like to change areas of residential and light industrial land use
to some type of limited light industrial or high tech industrial park use for the area
east of US 77 (future IH-69), south of CPL, and west of Industrial District 2. Staff
agrees that due to the existing industrial development, deteriorated residential
development (Suburban Acres), and excellent access to US 77 and railroad access,
that proposed residential use should be changed to either light industrial or a
industrial park type of use. The committee pointed out the need to consider the
possibility of spaceport on the Kennedy Ranch, and if that occurs then the Northwest
area would be a good location for a high tech industrial park type of use. The creation
of a new zoning district or use of the I-I District may be appropriate to encourage this
type of high-end business park use.
Add text addressing the possible economic, land use and transportation impacts on
this area by the proposed Spaceport project and the NAFTA Interstate Freeway-69
and the South Loop/IH-69 Business Loop.
The Committee suggested the following revisions (underlined) to the text portion of the
Draft Northwest ADP:
1. Pages 4 and 9 Item (d) - Correct the existing traffic carrying capacity of FM 624
from 35,000 to 30,000 average daily trips.
Page 7 - Policy Statement B.1 (a): The overburden and borrow pits produced by
these operations may be reclaimed as wetlands and possibly provide stormwater
detention facilities to prevent downstream flooding, and if not inconsistent with the
City's floodplain management regulations, some limited low density residential
development may be permitted on a case by case basis as long as the gross density of
the development does not exceed one dwelling unit per five acres.

heavy industrial uses only within the NWADP in the area between and including the
Equistar, De Dietrich and Valero Plants and light industrial uses will be used as
buffer land uses around the heavy industrial use area. In addition, a new zoning
district is proposed to be created for the area generally to the west and north of the
heavy industrial district which will promote high-tech and related assembly and
distribution uses.
Page 16 - Policy Statement D.1, add Item (f): Unnamed collector street with a 60
foot wide right-of-way and two lanes on the south side of the Walmart store and
Riverside Hospital between the U.S. 77 frontage road and River East Drive. This
short but significant street would provide the Five-Points interchanee with a much
needed relief route to allow traffic to exit the businesses south of the Five-Points
interchanee without having to make a left hand turn onto Northwest Boulevard.

Northwest Area
Development Plan
December 12, 2000
Adoption of this plan will expand the Northwest Area
Development Plan (ADP) area to include the area previously
known as the Bluntzer ADP area and the northwestern portion of
the Port/Airport/Violet ADP. Adoption of the Plan will supersede
and rescind any prior adopted Area Development Plans for these
areas.
INTRODUCTION
The Corpus Christi Comprehensive Plan is
mandated by the City Charter. The Charter requires the
City Council to" ... establish comprehensive planning as
a continuous governmental function to guide, regulate,
and manage future development... "and that" . . . all
city improvements, ordinances, and regulations shall be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan . . . ". The
Comprehensive Plan is comprised of various plan
elements such as Policy Statements, Area Development
Plans, Capital Improvement Programs, and Master Utility
Plans. The comprehensive planning process is a means
for citizens and community leaders to guide community
development. The Comprehensive Plan, by definition, is
general, long range, and broad in scope. Its purpose is to
guide the City in policy formulation and implementation
strategies related to population, housing, environment,
land use, transportation, and public services.
The Northwest Area is located in the extreme
northwestern part of the City. The first Northwest Area
Development Plan (ADP) was adopted on August 16,
1988 by the City Council. The Plan area has been
expanded to include the Bluntzer Area (area west of
Draf~ Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 2
County Road 73 to the ETJ and Nueces River) and a portion of the
Port/Airport/Violet ADP (area west of Rand Morgan Road and
north of State Highway 44).
The Plan area is bounded by the Nueces River on the north, Rand
Morgan Road on the east, State Highway 44 and the Robstown
city limits on the south and the Corpus Christi Extraterritorial
Jurisdiction (ETJ) to the west. (See Figure 1- Plan Update
Boundary Map.)
The Northwest Area contains approximately 65,809 acres (103 sq.
miles) with 10,900 acres (17 sq. miles) inside city limits and
54,909 acres (86 sq. miles) outside city limits (Figure 2).
Approximately 17% of the Plan Area is currently inside city limits
and 83% is located outside city limits in the City's Extraterritorial
Jurisdiction.

Implementation of the Plan and its policies will provide for the
health, safety and welfare of the community and the efficient
provision of public services and facilities. The Plan will continue
to address and resolve basic land use and development issues such
as the zoning and platting of properties, Capital Improvement
Programs, and other specific concerns. Coordination of the
Capital Improvement Program and projects, various Master
Service Plans, as well as day-to-day action by line agencies,
responsible for implementing the Plan, will be essential in order to
provide more cost effective development and tax dollar savings.
The 2000 estimated
population of the
Northwest area is
32,000 with
approximately
27,000 residents
inside city limits
and 5,000 residents
outside city limits.

population of the area has increased by approximately 30%, or 3%
per year. This is almost triple the growth rate of the City's overall
population during the same period, which makes the Northwest
one of the fastest growing areas in the City (See Figure 3 and

Existing land uses are illustrated in Figure 4.
Increases in land use over the last 10 years are reflected in the
increasing volume of traffic accessing Northwest Boulevard (F.M.
624). From 1995 thru 2000 traffic volume increases per year on
Northwest Boulevard were the highest in the city, averaging 12%
per year over a five-year period. Because of the vast area that is
accessed by Northwest Boulevard ultimate development and
traffic generation is expected to far exceed the existing capacity
(30,000 average daily trips) of the roadway. Addressing this
critical problem is a high priority of all responsible governmental
entities including Nueces County, TxDOT, and the City of Corpus
Christi.

A. ENVIRONMENT
POLICY STATEMENT A. 1
Maintain and/or improve water quality in the
Nueces River upstream from the Calallen Dam to
Lake Corpus Christi to a level consistent with the
Texas Natural Resource Conservation
Commission's standards for contact recreation,
high quality aquatic habitat (See Figure 5 -
Wetlands), and public water supply. Documented
concerns regarding total dissolved solids and
phosphorus loading in this river segment warrants increased
protective measures to assure the viability of the region's
primary drinking water supply. (See Policy Statement E.6)
POLICY STATEMENT A.2
Encourage preservation of the expansive open space within
the Nueces River Floodplain. The City should take a leading
role to encourage preservation of the floodplain by land
donation, land dedication, purchase, acquisition of
conservation easements, annexation and zoning the land to
"FR" Farm Rural. (Also see Policy Statements E.2 and E.3)

B. LAND USE
POLICY STATEMENT B.1
The City Council, hereby, adopts the Northwest
Future Land Use Plan (Figure 6) and the
accompanying text as a guide for future land
use decisions. The Plan provides guidance for
future land use decisions including rezoning,
platting, fiscal management, and capital
improvement planning. The Plan supports
environmentally sound development and the
efficient provision of public services and facilities.
Table 3 contains the total acreage of future land
uses and potential population of an ultimately
developed Northwest area.
Areas designated Conservation/Preservation are to be
conserved and protected from urban development. This
designation applies only to existing floodways along the
Nueces River. This land use designation includes existing
agricultural uses, natural preserves, and the several large
sand and gravel excavation operations within the Nueces
River floodplain. On-site wastewater disposal systems are
not allowed in these areas or within 75' of these areas
under State and County restr/ctions. With regard to the
sand and gravel excavation operations the operators should
be encouraged/required to provide environmentally
sensitive reclamation of the land when the operations
cease. The overburden and the barrow pits produced by
these operations may be reclaimed as wetlands and
possibly provide stormwater detention facilities to prevent
downstream flooding.
Areas designated for Agricultural and Rural uses are
intended to encourage continuation of farming,
Draft Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 10
ranching, and large lot residential activities in a rural
setting within the 100oyear flood plain (including a
portion of the Drinking Water Watershed). New
development within the Agricultural and Rural land use
category is recommended for up to one residential unit per
five acres. One unit per five acres may be achieved on a
lot by lot basis (each lot 5 acres) or on smaller lots if a
portion of the development is not developed and
permanently kept in a natural state. Where smaller lots are
provided in combination with an undeveloped area the
overall density of the development shall not exceed I unit
per five acres. These low-density residential uses will be
consistent with the City's desire to protect drinking water
quality in the region's drinking water supply watershed
(upstream of the diversion dam on the Nueces River) and
to minimize repetitive losses due to flood damage.

c)
Areas designated for Estate Residential uses, with a
maximum of one residential unit per acre, will
encourage large lot' subdivisions consistent with
available infrastructure and will protect the Drinking
Water Watershed. Until wastewater services become
available, these areas should continue to be designated for
large lots. Several plan areas are designated for Estate
Residential uses including: the area located between
Industrial District #2 and Robstown; the area west of
County Road 73; and the area north ofi-37 and west of the
Koch Refinery West Plant.
d)
Commercial development of a small scale for
convenience shopping needs is necessary and desirable
to serve the outlying portions of the Plan area. The
most appropriate locations for these types of uses are at
arterial/arterial intersections. Strip commercial
development is discouraged from occurring along arterial
roadways. Nodal commercial development is encouraged
whereby commercial uses are concentrated at the major
intersections of arterials as indicated on the Future Land
Use Plan. As more public services become available
(water and wastewater, etc.) and as the area develops,
larger scale commemial uses may be necessary.
e)
The expansion of business~ uses along Northwest
Boulevard (F.M. 624) or any other arterial street
should be planned and zoned so that the traffic
carrying capacity of the street is protected. The plan
recognizes the many existing commercial uses located
along Northwest Boulevard, Leopard Street, and other
Professional Office/Light Commercial Uses and General
Commercial Land Use Categories - Professional Office
and Limited Commercial Uses arc equivalent to the "AB"
Professional Office and the "B-lA" Neighborhood
Commercial Districts in the Zoning Ordinance. The
General Commercial land use category may include uses
found in the Neighborhood Commercial ("B-I") or the
General Commercial ("B-4") zoning districts.

arterial streets and calls for their continuance. However,
every available means should be used to manage traffic
flow/access (e.g. access management devices, marginal
access controls, driveway use restrictions, etc.) from
adjacent new uses and protect the City's investment in an
efficient transportation system.
West of County Road 75, commercial uses on Northwest
Boulevard should only be allowed at arterial intersections.
Surrounding low-density residential activities should be
buffered from higher density commercial uses at the
intersections with medium density residential, office or
light commercial uses. This nodal approach to high-
density development will help to preserve traffic flow on
Northwest Boulevard and other arterial streets and
concentrate traffic generation at signalized intersections
where it can be efficiently managed. The depth of such
commemial developments should not exceed a depth of
300 to 500 feet.
f) Large-scale commercial uses are encouraged on both
sides of US 77 (IH-69) north of Robstown. South of
County Road 50 extended and on the east side of US 77,
light industrial uses are encouraged due to the availability
of rail line access. In addition, for the foreseeable future,
US 77 will be the area's 1-69 North American Free Trade
(NAFTA) Route, therefore large scale commercial and
industrial uses are warranted along this strategic
transportation corridor.
g) Industrial District #2 (located between Violet Road,
Rand Morgan Road, County Road 48 extended and
State Highway 44) provides an important economic
benefit to the area and the region and should be
continued ~vith the following guidelines.
Due to the prevailing southeast winds and
concerns of the Northwest Community, limit
expansion of new heavy industry in the district
to the footprint indicated on the future land use
plan.
Draft Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 15
2_l Create a minimum 1,000' light industrial land
use buffer on the south, west, and east sides of
Industrial District 1t2.
3_l The Estate Residential land use category will be
used as a land use buffer between areas of
industry and higher density residential
development.
Industrial district agreements provide for a payment to the
City, in lieu of taxes, with a guarantee the City will not
annex the area for a set time period. Industrial District #2
is partially developed with several large heavy industrial
uses. Industrial District 112 provides a significant benefit
over Industrial District #1 (the Port/ship channel area) as
District 112 contains large spacious sites that are not
available in District 111. On the north side of Industrial
District #2, industry has pumhased land to create a
"downwind" buffer area between the industry and existing
residential areas to the north.
h) Protect the Corpus Christi International Airport by
discouraging heavy industrial uses from locating under
flight approach zones. The primary airport approach
flight path is located over the Annaville/Calallan areas in a
southeast-northwest direction. The plan recommends
residential and light industrial uses in these underlying
areas. Note: This residential area is approximately 2 miles
from the end of the airport's existing and proposed
runways and meets the City's standard for keeping
residential uses at least 1 ½ miles from the ends of the
runways.
POLICY STATEMENT B.2
The City, County, and utility districts/companies will work
together to prevent development of "colonias'. For
purposes of this plan, Colonias are defined as developments
that do not meet minimum development standards for water,
wastewater, stormwater, accesS, and other requirements
normally associated with the development and platting of
subdivisions. Colonias are also referred to as illegal or
Draft Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 16
unplatted subdivisions. In order to prevent such development
the City, County and utility districts will continue to closely
monitor development activity and coordinate requests for
water, wastewater, and electrical service to assure all public
health and safety requirements are met. A key to prevention
of new colonias is to tie approval of water and electrical
service connections with a guarantee that wastewater service
is available and meets all health requirements and that all
platting requirements of the City have been met.
For existing colonias, illegal subdivisions, and/or unplatted
subdivisions, the City and County will work with property
owners to provide for minimum health and safety standards.
Enforcement actions taken by the City will include actions
based on complaints and on a proactive basis.
POLICY STATEMENT B.3
Encourage development of recreational vehicle parks in
the northwest area to capture "Winter Texans" traveling
U.S. 77 (IH-69). Evaluation of proposals for specific RV sites
will be based on location, compatibility of surrounding land
uses, access to arterials and expressways, and other
appropriate factors.
POLICY STATEMENT B.4
The City designates Interstate 37, State Highway 44 and
the proposed South Loop as scenic corridors. Scenic
corridors are streets and highways the City wishes to visually
enhance due to their utility as highly travel corridors or as
entrances to the city. Design objectives for these areas are:
1. IH-37: The areas along IH-37 between the Nueces
River and Carbon Plant Road on the north and Rand
Morgan Road on the south should be limited to
residential and commemial uses. No industrial uses of
any kind including outdoor storage and construction
yards and no off-premise signage (billboards) should
be allowed within this designated scenic corridor. In
addition, the area north of IH-37 and east of Carbon
Plant Road to the westernmost edge of the existing
Koch refinery should be limited to agricultural/rural
Draft Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 17
and public/semi-public uses and not permit off-premise
signage.
2. S.H. 44: The areas on both sides of the roadway
between the Robstown city limits and Oso Creek
should be limited to agricultural/rural and residential
uses. No industrial uses of any kind including outdoor
storage and construction yards and no off-premise
signage should be allowed within this designated
scenic corridor. In addition, the area on both sides of
S.H. 44 between Oso Creek and the South Loop are
designated to be light industrial and commercial uses,
however, off-premise signage should not be permitted.
3. Additional Beautification Efforts: Development
adjacent to these scenic corridors will be required to
provide a higher standard of landscaping than for non-
scenic corridor streets. The City's Landscaping
requirements in the Zoning Ordinance should be
changed to require all street yards for multi-family,
public-semi public, business and industrial uses to
provide a minimum of 0.04 points of landscaping per
square foot where property is developed adjacent to a
designated scenic corridor. Note: street yards are
areas between structures and the street right-of-way.
4. Strict enforcement of the City's Highway
Beautification Ordinance.
POLICY STATEMENT B.5
Development along all arterial and expressways will be
required to plant street trees on fifty-foot centers in a tree
planting zone located within 10 feet of any property line
abutting the street rights-of-way. The City's landscape
requirements in the Zoning Ordinance will be changed to
require street tree plantings from any species listed in the
Preferred Trees and Palms section of the City's Landscape
Ordinance. The Landscaping Requirements should allow, on
a 1 to 1 basis, an exception to new tree planting when an
existing tree of a minimum 6" caliper is located within 20 feet
of the fight-of-way.

C. ANNEXATION
POLICY STATEMENT C.1
Pursue annexation of property in advance of
development, particularly, along major roadways
for the purpose of creating compatible land use
and development patterns. A significant amount
of' development has occurred between 1990 and
2000 in the Northwest ETJ areas. Monitor increases
in development by creating a database for properties
in the ETJ. New development will be "tracked" by
creating a database of approved Health Department
permits for new septic systems in the extraterritorial
jurisdiction.
PLAN STATEMENT C.2
Prior to annexation, develop detailed assessments
of infrastructure and action plans for improving
and or replacing inadequate infrastructure in
outlying substandard developments. Pursue
federal and state grants for purposes of bringing
substandard infrastructure into conformance with
City standards. Detailed assessments of
infrastructure and action plans for the Suburban Acres and the
River Acres areas are a high priority.
PLAN STATEMENT C.3
The City should aggressively pursue annexation of the
developing areas within the Nueces River watershed within
Nueces County. The City's primary water intake from its
reservoir system is located in the Calallen area. Water quality
from this point and upstream is extremely important to all that
are served by this regional water resource.
Storm runoff fi.om upland uses can dramatically impact the
quality of water in the Nueces River. Cleaner water in the
Draft Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 19
Nueces River has a direct impact on the City's water treatment
program at the O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant.
Annexation will allow the' City to insure that inappropriate
land uses and development are prohibited and building
standards imposed in this critical drinking water watershed.

D. TRANSPORTATION
POLICY STATEMENT D.1
The City Council adopts the Transportation Plan
(see Figure 7) as the I
t
guide for futureI [
transportation
decisions. Plan
recommendations
are based on the
"ultimate" street
network necessary to
serve a fully
developed plan area.
Unless otherwise
specified all streets are recommended to contain
curb, gutter and underground drainage. Wherever
this transportation plan calls for the acquisition of
more right-of-way
than currently exists,
the futura right-of-
way line shall be ~
used to determine
building setbacks.
Use of the future
right-of-way line to
measure setbacks
will prevent
construction of
buildings, signs or
any other permanent structures that would encroach
into the future right-of-way and setbacks. The
transportation network of this Plan constitutes an amendment
to the City's Transportation Plan.
Draft Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 21
FIGURE 7 - TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Draft Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 22
Plan changes, which are subject to Texas Department of
Transportation funding, will be submitted for inclusion in the
Metropolitan Planning Organization's Urban Transportation
Plan. Changes to the City's Transportation Plan include:
Relief of traffic congestion along Northwest Boulevard
(F.M. 624) and at the Five Points Intersection is a
major focus of the plan recommendations. Northwest
Boulevard has experienced the fastest growing traffic
volumes of any street segment in the City over the last five
years (1995-2000). This trend is expected to continue due
to healthy growth in the Northwest area and the unusual
traffic pattern caused by the geography of the
Northwest/Bluntzer Area. Most arterial streets can obtain
relief from increasing traffic on adjacent parallel arterials.
However, Northwest Boulevard does not benefit from any
paralleling arterials to the north because of the close
proximity of the Nueces River to the north. In addition,
Northwest Boulevard extends as a long straight arterial
street for many miles drawing traffic from growth
occurring in the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction and
beyond to Orange Grove and development on the west side
of Lake Corpus Christi.
Note: Projected traffic levels on Northwest Boulevard can
be expected to ultimately exceed existing and planned
capacities by a wide margin if relief routes to the south are
not made available, if land uses are not carefully
controlled and if good access management practices are
not followed. Projections of traffic indicate that without
relief routes to aid Northwest Boulevard traffic generation
from ultimate development would approach or even
exceed 50,000 average daily trips. This would far exceed
the existing capacity of the street, which is approximately
30,000 average daily trips and the planned capacity of
street.
Draft Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 23
The following recommendations will help to provide
relief to this growing traffic congestion problem:
Northwest Boulevard is recommended as an arterial
street with an ultimate 120' minimum right-of-way, six
traffic lanes, and a median. Median cuts should
maintain a spacing of not less than 600' or the Texas
Department of Transportation's standard, whichever is
greater. This type of roadway will increase the carrying
capacity of Northwest Boulevard (F.M. 624) at its
approach to 5 Points by 35 percent. The City will
encourage TxDot and the Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) to make these improvements
one of their highest transportation improvement
priorities.
A two-lane 60-foot right-of-way loop collector street
(south of Wal-Mart) is proposed between U.S. 77
and the extension of River East Drive. This loop
collector is proposed to relieve traffic congestion at
Five Points Intersection by providing a new route for
traffic destined west and away from the Five Points
area.
County Road 52 is recommended as an arterial
street with an ultimate 100' minimum right-of-way,
four travel lanes and a landscaped median. This
cross section is recommended between County Road
75 and the proposed South Loop Expressway. Portions
of Coumy Road 52 east of the South Loop Expressway
and west of County Road 75 are recommended as a
collector with an ultimate 70' minimum right-of-way
with four travel lanes. County Road 52 will serve as:
· A relief route for through traffic to avoid
Northwest Boulevard congestion west of 5-
Points. County Road 75 extended will serve as
the connection between Northwest Boulevard
(F.M. 624) and County Road 52 and provide
east bound traffic an easy connection to County
Road 52 and U.S. 77;
Draft Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 24
An alternative route to the use of the IH-37/
U.S. 77 Interchange in times of congestion after
County Road 52 is extended to Callieoate
Road; and
· An attractive parkway drive that will connect
both the Calallan and Annaville areas.
a)
South Loop Expressway (See Figure 8): The Proposed
South Loop Expressway is based on the Metropolitan
Planning Organization's (MPO) South Loop
Transportation Study.
The Study was undertaken in cooperation with Nueces
County, TxDot, and the City of Corpus Christi. The South
Loop Transportation Study was accepted by City Council
and adopted by the MPO's Policy Committee in 1999.
The purpose of the South Loop Expressway is to:
Provide a relief route to South and North Padre Island
Drives and IH-37 which are experiencing increasing
traffic congestion;
Enhance interconnectivity between the City's
Southside, Westside, Northside and the Northwest
areas;
Create a second major crossing of the Nueces River
and to northbound highways for emergency evacuation
from the City; and
Provide the primary connection to the Joe Fulton
International Trade Corridor on the north side of the
Ship Channel from U.S. 77, 1-37 and State Highway
44.
b) County Roads 48 and 44 are to serve as major arterial
roadways connecting the suburban and rural areas to the
Draft Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 25
west of U.S. 77 to the Industrial Districts and to the
International Airport to the east.
Create a four lane, 70-foot right-of-way collector street
paralleling and west of U.S. 77 between the proposed
collector street south of Wal-Mart and County Road 44.
The purpose of this collector street is to provide for
circulation adjacent to a high-density commercial corridor
similar to McArdle Strcet/SPID combination on the
Southside.
a)
Up River Road is designated a 4-lane, 70-foot right-of-
way collector street between Rand Morgan Road and
McKenzie Roads. Improvement of this road will be
considered a high priority for the City's Capital
Improvement Program. This section of Up River Road
serves an expanding residential neighborhood, a new
elementary school, and a major park (West Guth Park) for
the Northwest Area. In addition, this portion of Up River
Road also serves as the frontage road for IH-37.

LIBRARIES
POLICY STATEMENT E.1
A high citywide priority shall be given to expanding
the Northwest Branch Library. The current facility,
located on McKenzie Road, of approximately 7,000-sq.
ft. is substantially smaller than the other three branches,
which are approximately 13,000-sq. ft. in size. In
expanding and developing a larger branch library the
City shall pursue joint programs with area school districts
and Nueces County.
PARK AND RECREATION
POLICY STATEMENT E.2
The City will
pursue acqui-
sition of
strategic flood
plain areas
adjacent to the
Nueces River.
(See Policy
Statement A.2)
The purpose of
these acquisitions will be to create a continuous public
open space/trail system and parks at appropriate locations
along the Nueces River. These acquisitions will also
protect water quality along the Nueces River upstream
from the City's water intake at O. N. Stevens Water Treatment
Plant.
Draft Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 27
POLICY STATEMENT E.3
Create a Nueces River Hike and Bike Trail system with
connections to the Oso Pa~;kway system, and schools, parks
and other public facilities in the Northwest Area. (See
Figure 5, Future Land Use Plan) The trail system should be
fully integrated with the City's drainage right-of-way and
collector street system. Hike and bike trail surfaces will range
from improved concrete or asphalt surfaces to unimproved dirt
trails. The Bikeway System is envisioned as one using
primitive trails with minimal maintenance on dralnageways in
combination with existing streets. Capital improvements for
the system shall consist mainly of bikeway and bike path
signage.
WATER AND WASTEWATER
POLICY STATEMENT E.4
The City will work with the Nueces County Water Control
and Improvement District #3 (Robstown area), River
Acres Water Supply Corporation, and South Texas Water
Dratl Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 28
Authority to develop written agreements or modification
of existing water contracts to clearly indicate areas of
responsibility for provision of water utilities. Once
agreements have been reached the City will pursue
modification of its State of Texas Certificate of Conveyance
and Necessity to match with agreed upon areas for providing
service.
POLICY STATEMENT E.5
Connections to the City's Transmission Main System may
only be made if the connection:
a) Will not impair the City's ability to provide sufficient
water pressure taking into account the ultimate
development of the area;
b) Are consistent with the City's Water Master Plan; and
c) Meet platting ordinance requirements,
POLICY STATEMENT E.6
Initiate a watershed management program and emergency
response plan for the Nueces River Watershed in
cooperation with the City of Corpus Christi and Nueces
River Authority. Hundreds of petroleum product pipelines
Draft Northwest ADP Update
December 12, 2000
Page 29
cross the Nueces River and its tributaries that if ruptured could
place the region's primary water supply at risk. For example,
in March 2000, the City of Dallas lost, for an indefinite period
of time, one third of its water supply when 500,000 gallons of
fuel additive, MTBE, spilled from a ruptured pipeline into
East Caddo Creek. East Caddo Creek drains into Lake
Tawakoni, which provides a third of the City of Dallas's water
supply. By way of comparison the Nueces River transports
two-thirds of the City of Corpus Christi's and the region's
water supply. In light of the Dallas loss of water supply, it is
clear that protection and precautionary plans should be
considered for the City's water supply.
STORMWATER2
POLICY STATEMENT E.7
A high priority for the Northwest Area is for the City to
update its Stormwater Master Plan of the area. As part of
this update the City should review the drainage system in the
Northwest to determine if the unique topography and
hydrology in the area warrants additional drainage capacity
improvements and/or higher stormwater design standards.
2 Note: this plan is not intended to address the location of future
stormwater drainage facilities as the City is in the process of creating a
Master Stormwater Master Plan.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (city Council Action Date: December 12, 2000)
Case No. I000-03~ Chris McClanahan: A change of zoning from an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling
District to an "I-2" Light Industrial District on 5 acres out of Tract 7, William J. Robertson Farm tracts, located
on the south side of Saratoga Boulevard, approximately 1,600 feet east oi~Old Brownsville Road.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation (10/25/00): Approved.
Requested Council Action: Approval of the "1-2" Light Industrial District and adoption of the attached
ordinance.
Purpose of Request: To expand existing warehouse use.
Summary.: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District to an
"I-2" Light Industrial District in order to bring the nonconforming office/warehouse use into compliance with the
zoning ordinance and to expand the existing warehouse. The existing development consists of a 5,000 square foot
office/warehouse building with outside storage. It is the applicant's intent to expand the building by adding
approximately 3,000 square feet. The existing development is a nonconforming use because the use was existing
when the City annexed the property in 1989 and zoned it an "R-lB" District. As a nonconforming use, it is allowed
to continue operation as long as it does not cease operation for a period of one year or more. The proposed use
would be an expansion of the industrial zoning and use adjacent to the east. Adjacent to the south and west, there is
undeveloped land with the property to the west zoned an "1-2" and a "B-Y' District and the area to the south being
outside the City limits. There are no adjacent residential uses adjacent to the subject property. Approval of the "1-
2" District on the subject property would not adversely impact the residential properties to the southwest. The
requested "1-2" District is consistent with the Plan's recommended land use and the Corpus Christi International
Airport flight patterns for take-offs from the NW-SE runway that traverse this area. Due to the noise from
overflights, continued residential development is not encouraged.
Applicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning Commission and Staff'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 two (2) were returned in favor and none in opposition. The applicant also submitted a
letter iii favor. The 20% rule is not in effect.

Zoning Report
Case No, 1000-03 (Chris McClanahanl
Page 3
Zoning Inventory:
The subject property is part of a 57.77-acre tract of land that is zoned an "R-lB" District and
predominantly developed with single-family residences. Adjacent to the east and west of the subject
propem:', there are two (2) tracts of land totaling 16.30 acres and zoned an "I-2" District. The 5.30-
acre tract of land adjacent to the west remains undeveloped and the 11.00-acre tract of land adjacent
to the east is developed with a warehouse and outside storage. Also adjacent to the west is a 2.54-
acre tract of land zoned a "B-3" District and contains an office. To the northeast, there are 8,49 acres
of undeveloped land also zoned a "B-3" District. Further north, there are 40.01 acres of land zoned
a "T-lB" District that are partially developed with a manufactured home park.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Back~zround: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
/'rom an "R-lB" One~family Dwelling District to an "I-2" Light Industrial District in order
to bring tile noncontbnning office/warehouse use into compliance xvith the zoning ordinance
and to expand the existing warehoase. The existing development consists ora 5,000 square
/hot office/warehouse building x~ith outside storage. It is the applicant's intent to expand the
building by adding approximately 3.000 square feet. The existing development is a
nonconlbrming use because the use ',','as existing when the CiLy annexed the property in I989
and zoned it an "R-lB" District. As a nonconforming use. it is allowed to continue operation
as long as it does not cease its operation Ibr a period of one >'ear or more. The proposed use
would be an expausion of the industrial zoning and use adjacent to the east. Adjacent to the
south and west. there is undeveloped land with the property to tile west zoned an "I-2" and
a "B-3" District and the area to thc south being outside the City limits. There are no adjacent
residential uses adjacent to tile subject property. Approval of the "I-2" District on the subject
property would not adversely impact the residential properties to the southxvest.
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land [/se Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "I-2" District. The
adopted Westside Area Development Plan and Airport Master Plan future land use maps
recommend the area to develop with light industrial uses. The requested "I-2" District is
consistent with the Plan's recommended land use and the Corpus Christi International
Airport flight patterns/'or take-offs from the NW-SE runway that traverse this area. Due to
the noise l'rom overflights, continued residential development is not encouraged.
Potential Housine Density: Residential density in a "R-IB" District is limited to 7.26
dwelling units per acre or 36 units on the subject property.. The "I-? District does not permit
any temporaD, or permanent housing or lodging, except that a caretakeFs quarters is allowed.

a side and rear yard setback of five (5) feet each. The "I-2" District requires a front yard
setback of twenty (20) feet and no side or rear yard setback unless adjacent to a residential
district where a setback often (10) feet xvould be required. The subject property does not
have any residential adjacency; therefore, side or rear yard setbacks will not be required.
Si~nage: Signage in the "R-lB" District is limited to one wall sign not to exceed a sign area
of one square foot. The "I-2" District permits unlimited wall and freestanding signs provided
they are located behind the front yard setback. Freestanding signs located within the fi'ont
yard setback are limited to one sign per street frontage xvith a sign area of forty (40) square
feet and a height of 25 feet. Off-premise signs (billboards) are also permitted in the "I-2"
District.
Pros:
a)
a)
Traffic: The subject property has direct access to Saratoga Boulevard, which is classified as
a local street betxveen Old Broxvnsville Road and County Road 37. Saratoga Boulevard is
currently carrying approximately 6,000 vehicles per day. The proposed industrial
development is estimated to generate approximately 56 daily trip ends which means minimal
impact to the adjacent roadway.
Parkinv,/Screening: An industrial use is required to provide one off-street parking space for
every three (3) employees. Compliance ~vith the off-street parking regulations will be
required during the permitting phase of the proposed expansion. A standard screening fence
with a height of not less than six (6) feet is required when a business or industrial use abuts
a residential district. The subject property does not have any residential adjacency. Outside
storage is required to be screened from adjacent roadway.
Costs to City: The rezoning or expansion of the existing office/warehouse will not require
any improvements that will necessitate City participation.
Platting: The subject property is an unplatted piece of land the will be required to comply
with the Platting Ordinance before a building permit can be issued.
(Ideas in support of the request.)
The requested "I-2" District ' ' "9 .....
is an expansion of the I-_ Dtstnct adjacent to the east and west.
The requested "I-2" District is consistent with the Westside Area Development Plan's
recommended land use.
(Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)

New Zoning Cases
Chris McClanahan: 1000-03
REQUEST:
"R-lB" One-family Dwelling District to "1-2" Light Industrial District on property, being 5 acres
out of Tract 7, WiIliam J. Robertson Farm Tracts and located on the south side of Saratoga
Boulevard, approximately 1,600 feet east of Old Brownsville Road
The subject property, is pan of a 57.77-acre tract of land that is zoned an "R-lB" District and predominantly
developed with single-family residences. Adjacent to the east and west of the subject property, there are two (2)
tracts of land totaling 16.30 acres and zoned an "I-2" District. The 5.30-acre tract of land adjacent to the west
remains undeveloped and the 11.00-acre tract of land adjacent to the east is developed with a warehouse and outside
storage. Also adjacent to the west is a 2.54-acre tract of Iand zoned a "B-3" District and contains an office. To the
northeast, there are 8.49 acres of undeveloped land also zoned a "B-3" District. Further north, there are 40.01 acres
of land zoned a "T-lB" District that are partially developed with a manufactured home park.
The applicant has requested a change of zoning to an "I-2" Light Industrial District in order to bring the
property into compliance with the zoning and expand the existing warehouse. The existing development consists of
a 5.000 square foot office/warehouse building with outside storage. The applicant intends to expand the building by
adding approximately 3,000 square feet. The existing development is a nonconforming use because the use was
existing x~hen the City annexed the property, in 1989 and zoned the property a "R-IB" District. As a nonconforming
use~ it is allowed to continue operation as long as it does not cease its operation for a period of one year or more.
The proposed use would be an expansion of the industrial zoning and use adjacent to the east. Adjacent to the south
and west. there is undeveloped land with the property to the west zoned an "I-2" and a "B-3" District and the area to
the south being outside the City limits. There are no adjacent residential uses adjacent to the subject property..
Approval of the "I-2" District on the subject proper~y would not adversely impact the residential properties to the
southwest.
Overall the Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "1-2" District. The adopted
Westside Area Development Plan and Airport Master Plan future land use maps recommend the area to develop
with light industrial uses. The requested "I-2" District is consistent with the Plan's recommended land use and the
Corpus Christi International Airport flight pailems for take-offs from the NW-SE runway that traverse this area.
Due to the noise from overflights, continued residential development is not encouraged. Therefore. Staff
recommends approval of the rezoning request.
Vice Chairman Mims opened the public hearing. No one appeared in favor or opposition.
Mr. Saldafia clarified that when property is annexed into the City, the use of the land is taken into
consideration when assigning a zoning clarification. The business was developed on the property when it was
annexed and received a "R- 1 B" One-family Dwelling District and was allowed to remain.
In response to Vice Chairman Mims' question regarding landscape requirements, Mr. Saldafla stated that
the applicant will need to comply with the landscape ordinance if the expansion is in the front portion of the
property'. If the expansion takes place behind the existing structure, there is no landscape requirement. Vice
Chairman Mims stated that the landscape ordinance needs to be reviewed. She continued that she believed that
Saratoga Boulevard will become the main corridor when the Crosstown Expansion is completed.
Mr. Saldafia stated that the Transportation Plan designated the portion of Saratoga Boulevard near the
subject property as a local street instead of an arterial. The plan needs to be reviewed.
Motion by Zamora. seconded by Sween-McGloin, to approve Staff's recommendation. Motion passed
unanimously with Cheek, Richter, and Berlanga being absent.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: December 12, 2000)
Case No. 1000-0L Don Hodges: A change of zoning from a "B-i" Neighborhood Business District to a
"B-4" General Business District on Koolside Addition, Block 6, Lot 22R, located on the west side of Airline
Road, approximately 150 feet south of Gollihar Road.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation (10/11/00): Denied.
Requested Council Action: Denial of the "B-4" General Business District.
Pnrpose of Request: To continue operation of used auto sales lot.
Summary: The applicant has submitted a request for a change of zoning from a "B-I" Neighborhood Business
District to a "B-4" General Business District in order to continue operating an illegal auto sales use. No certificate
of occupancy was obtained from the City. The subject property fronts an arterial, Airline Road, with no direct
access to a local residential street. It also backs up to an established residential neighborhood.
lu October 1990, the City completed a comprehensive analysis and rezoning to "B-l" on the west side of Airline
Road, between Lum Avenue on the north and McArdle Road on the south. Due to the number of Special Permits
approved for retail uses in this area and the residential adjacency, the Planning Commission and City Council
determined that the appropriate zoning of the area was a "B-i" District. The "B-I" District had been amended in
1984 and 1988 to make the district more neighborhood friendly by eliminating bars, taverns, and full service station
Approval of the requested "B-4" District would allow auto repair and auto sales and bar uses, ali of which are
incompatible with the surrounding residences, reintroduce the auto sales use and open the door for other "B-4"
District requests along this segment of Airline Road. The conditions in the area have remained constant under the
current "B-I" District approved in 1990 and does not necessitate rezoning. The "B-l' District is the appropriate
zoning classification for this area because it provides protection to the adjacent residential neighborhood.
Applicant's Position: The applicant does not concur with Planning Commission and Staff's recommendation.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, seventeen (17) notices were mailed to the property owners
within a 200-foot radius, of which two (2) were returned in favor and one (1) in opposition. The 20% rule is not in
effect.

Zoning Report

Zoning Inventory:
The subject property is part of 12.91 acres of land zoned a "B-1" District that are developed with a
mixture of retail uses, offices and residential uses. Northwest of the subject property, there are 1.82
acres of land zoned an "AB" District and developed with medical offices. East and east of the
subject property, the area is zoned an "R-1B" District and is predominantly developed with single-
family residential uses.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Backm:ound: The applicant has submitted a request for a change
of zoning from a "B-1" Neighborhood Business District to a "B-4" General Business District
in order to continue operating an illegal auto sales use. No certificate of occupancy was
obtained from the City. The subject property fronts an arterial, Airline Road, with no direct
access to a local residential street. It also backs up to an established residential
neighborhood.
In October 1990, the City completed a comprehensive analysis and rezoning to "B-I" on the
west side of Airline Road, between Lum Avenue on the north and McArdle Road on the
south. Due to the number of Special Permits approved for retail uses in this area and the
residential adjacency, the Planning Commission and City Council determined that the
appropriate zoning of the area was a "B-I" District. The "B-I" District had been amended
in 1984 and 1988 to make the district more neighborhood friendly by eliminating bars,
taverns, and full service station uses.
Approva! of the requested "B-4" District xvould allow auto repair and auto sales and bar uses,
all of which are incompatible with the surrounding residences, reintroduce the auto sales use
and open the door for other "B-4" District requests along this segment of Airline Road. The
conditions in the area have remained constant under the current "B-1" District approved in
1990 and does not necessitate rezoning. The "B-I" District is the appropriate zoning
classification for this area because it provides protection to the adjacent residential
neighborhood.
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "B-4" District because of
its direct access to an arterial and no direct access to a local residential street. The Southeast
Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to develop xvith
neighborhood business uses. The requested "B-4" District is not consistent with the Plan's
adopted future land use map.
Potential Housing Density: Both the "B-I" and "B-4" Districts permit a residential density
of 36.30 dwelling units per acre or six (6) units on the subject property. Approval of the
change in zoning will not affect the residential density.
Zoning Report
Case No. 1000-01 (Don Hodges)
Page 4
Heieht/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: Both the "B-I" and "B-4" Districts require a from yard setback
of twenty (20) feet and no side 9r rear yard setback unless adjacent to a residential district.
Along that residential adjacency, a setback often (10) feet is required. Building heights in
the "B-I" District are limited to 35 feet, not to exceed three (3) stories. The "B-4" District
does not limit the building heights.
Si~aage: Both the "B-I" and "B-4" Districts permit unlimited wall signs. Freestanding signs
in the "B-I" District are limited to one sign with a sign area of forty (40) square feet and a
height of twenty (20) feet. The "B-4" District permits unlimited freestanding signs provided
they are located behind the front yard setback. Freestanding signs located in the front yard
setback are limited to one sign per street frontage with a sign area of forty (40) square feet
and a height of 25 feet. The signs permitted in the "B-4" District may negatively impact the
adjacent residential area to the west.
Traffic: The change of zoning from one commercial district to another will have minimal
increase in traffic. The subject property has direct access to an arterial, Airline Road, which
is designed to carry large volumes of traffic.
Parkine/Screenine: An auto sales use is required to provide one parking space for each 400
square feet of gross floor or three (3) off-street parking spaces for the 1,100 square feet of
gross floor area. Compliance with the off-street parking regulations will be required before
a certificate of occupancy can be issued. A standard screening fence with a height of not less
than six (6) feet is required when a business of industrial use locates adjacent to a residential
district. A standard screening fence is required along the and west property line.
Costs to City: All of the infrastructure required to serve the subject property is in place and
no costs to the City are anticipated.
· Plattine: The subject property contains 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 through a residential
area.
.Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
a)
The requested "B-4" District is not consistent with the adopted Southeast Area Development
Plan.
The proposed use is not consistent ~vith the retail and office uses along the west side of
Airline Road.
The proposed auto sales use xxould adx crsely impact the adjacent residential neighborhood.

"B-I" is compatible with the immediate neighborhood. There is n_9_o other "B-4"
zoning in area and a change would set a precedent for other "Bol"s to request
similar changes until a "B-4" strip in the middle of residential properties would

Don Hodges: 1000-01
REQUEST:
"B-I" Neighborhood Business District to "B-4" General Business District on Koolside Addition,
Block 6, Lot 22R, located on the west side of Airline Road, approximately 150 feet south of
Gollihar Road.
Mr. Saldaila presented a slide illustration of the subject property and the surrounding area. In October 1990,
as part of a comprehensive rezoning of a larger area, the subject property retained its current "B-I" District
designation. The subject property is part of 12.91 acres of land zoned a "B-I" District that are developed with a
mixture of retail uses, offices and residential uses. Northwest of the subject property, there are 1.82 acres of land
zoned an "AB" District and developed with medical offices. East and west of the subject property, the area is zoned
an "R-1B" District and is predominantly developed with single-family residential uses.
Mr. Saldafla stated that the applicant requested a change of zoning to continue operating an illegal auto
sales use. No certificate of occupancy was obtained from the City. The subject property is located along an arterial,
Airline Road, with no direct access to a local residential street. It also backs up to an established residential
neighborhood. In October I990, the City undertook a comprehensive rezoning of the west side of Airline Road,
between Lum Avenue on the north and McArdle Road on the south. Due to the number of Special Permits in the
area and its residential adjacency, it was recommended by the Planning Commission and affirmed by the City
Council that the appropriate zoning of the area was a "B-I" District. Approval ofa "B-4" District would open the
door for other "B-4" District requests along this area and undermine the decision of previous Planning Commission
and City Council. It is Staff's opinion that conditions in the area have remained constant under the current "B-t"
District, which does not necessitate rezoning the area. Staff believes that the existing "B-I" District is the
appropriate zoning classification for this area because it provides protection to the adjacent residential
neighborhood. Should the Planning Commission consider granting a Special Permit, conditions for a Special Permit
should include limiting the use to an auto sales with a specified number of automobiles, prohibition of exterior
telephone bell, chimes and loudspeakers, require landscaping, and approval of a site plan. Staff does not
recommend either the change of zoning or a Special Permit.
Mr. Saldafla stated that the property is located within the Southeast Area Development Plan which
recommends the area to develop with neighborhood business uses. The requested "B-4" District is not consistent
with the Plan's adopted future land use map.
Staff recommends denial of the rezoning request. There were 17 notices mailed to property owners within
a 200-foot radius of which two (2) were returned in favor and one (1) was returned in opposition.
Chairman Berlanga opened the public hearing.
Don Hodges, 6202 Coppedge, stated that he purchased the subject property in December 1999. Mr.
Hodges stated that he is the owner of the Lock Doc business next door to the subject property and that he has
refused to lease the property to mechanic shops and detail shops. He admits that he did not know that he was in
violation of the zoning ordinance. The property is being leased to a used car business which has clean cars. The
owner of the used car business does not have a mechanic shop on the premises and has not been allowed to work on
vehicles as required by Mr. Hodges. Mr. Hodges stated that he was informed that he needed to request a "B-4"
District zoning, but would be agreeable to a SpeciaI Permit to allow the current use of' the property. He stated that
he would abide by all height/setback, signage, and traffic codes. He stated that he there was a wooden screening
fence at the rear of the property.. Mr. Hodges said that the property, previously had a Special Permit.
The public hearing was closed.
In response to Commissioner Cheek's question regarding a Special Permit discussion with Mr. Hodges, Mr.
Gunning stated that Staffdid not pursue this option in detail with the applicant due to the fact that Staffwas opposed
to the auto sales use.
Mr. Saldafla requested that the Commission continue the case for two (2) weeks if a Special Permit is a
consideration. Staffneeds to design conditions addressing lighting, screening, landscaping, and use. In response to

Commissioner Kelly's question regarding whether a Special Permit is voided after the business is closed,
Mr. Saldafia stated that if a similar business opens within a year, the Special Permit is still active with the same
conditions.
Mr. Saldafia stated that in 1988 a Special Permit was issued for an auto repair shop that operated for six (6)
years. Commissioner Salazar commented that the previous and current businesses were the same types of
businesses; however, the current business was a cleaner business.
In response to Commissioner Zamora's question regarding signs, Mr. Saldafia stated that a "B-I" District
sign allowance would be allowed under a Special Permit.
Commissioner Amsler stated that Airline Road is developing a character and he could not support the
rezoning request. Chairman Berlanga concurred.
Motion by Sween-McGloin, seconded by Amsler, to deny the rezoning request. Motion passed with
Amsler, Kelly, Richter, Sween-McGloin, and Berlanga voting "Aye"; Cheek and Salazar voting "Nay" and Mims
being out of the room.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: December 12, 2000)
Case No. 1000-02~ Paul S. Vera: A change of zoning from an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District and
"B-i" Neighborhood Business District with a "SP" Special Permit to a "B-4" General Business District on
Laguna Acres, Block 1, Lots 11 and 12, located on the southeast comer of Home road and Teresa Street.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation (11/08/00): Denied the "B-4" District, and
in lieu thereof, approved a Special Permit for expanded building and auto repair use on Lot 12, subject to a site
plan and ten (10) conditions.
Requested Council Action: Denial of the "B-4" General Business District, and in lieu thereof, approval of
a Special Peru'.Jr for expanded building and auto repair use on Lot 12, subject to a site plan and ten (10)
conditions and adoption of the anached ordinance.
Purpose of Request: To allow the illegal building and auto expansion on Lot 12 and relocate the auto parts sales to
Lot 11.
Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District and a
"B-I" Neighborhood Business District with a Special Pemfit to a "B-4" General Business District in order to
legalize the building expansion on Lot 12 and allow auto parts sales and parking on Lot 11. In May 1988, Lot 12
was granted a Special Permit for an auto repair facility subject to a site plan. The site plan limited the building to
2,400 square feet and the conditions required the use to be inside the building and a screening fence installed along
the south and east property lines. Sometime in 1996 or shortly thereafter, a 2,071 square foot addition was made to
the existing structure in violation of the approved Special Permit and without the benefit of a building permit. The
applicant has owned Lot 11 since at least 1988, when the original Special Permit on Lot 12 was granted. For the
past three (3) years, notices of violation have been sent to the applicant stating that on Lot 11 storage of vehicles,
pending repair, outside storage of material, and employee parking is not pertmtted. There are single-family
residences abutting the subject property to the south and east. The subject property has direct access to an arterial,
Home Road, and to a local street, Teresa Street. Approval of a "B-4" District would permit the expansion of the
auto repair facility, as well as other uses, such as auto sales, bars, dance hails. Such uses are not considered
appropriate when adjacent to a residential area. The adjacent residential area has remained a stable residential area.
The expansion of a "B-I" District or use on Lot 11 could further undermine the stability of the residential
neighborhood, given the applicant's history of code violations regarding the storage of vehicles on Lot I I. The
residential area and zoning should remain intact and that the commercial area not permitted expand.
The Planning Commission recommended denial of the "B-4" District, and in lieu thereof, approved a Special Permit
for auto repair on lot 12, subject to a site plan and the following ten (10) conditions:
1)
ALLOWED USES: The only use authorized by this Special Perrmt other than those uses permitted by right
in the "'B-I" Neighborhood Business District is an auto repair use limited to minor and major automotive
repair. All automotive repair must be done within an enclosed building.
2)
VEHICLES: All vehicles stored on the premise must have a valid pending work order and must have a
valid inspection and license sticker. Wrecked vehicles and auto salvage uses are prohibited.
3) FLOOR AREA: The total floor area used for the automotive repair use may not exceed 3,451 square feet,
as shown on the attached site plan.

Zoning History of Property:
In May 1988, Lot 12 was granted a Special Permit for an auto repair shop subject to a site plan and
conditions. Then in May 1996, the City Council denied a request for a change of zoning from a
"B-1/SP" District to an "I-2" District in order to continue outside repair of vehicles and large trucks
and semi-trailers.
In July 2000, the Planning Commission reviewed a request for a change of zoning on Lot 11 from
an "R-lB" District to a "B-4" District in order for the applicant to expand the auto repair business
onto the lot. The case was continued and the applicant withdrew in order to resubmit an application
that included Lot 12.
Recent Surrounding Zoning Cases:
There has been no rezoning activity in the area within the past five (5) years.
Zoning Inventory:
Lot 11 of the subject property is part of a larger area zoned a "R-lB" District that is developed with
a golf course to the north and single-family residences to the south. Lot 12 of the subject property
and extending south along Teresa Street, there are 3.25 acres of land zoned a "B-I" District
developed with auto repair uses and single-family residences. East of the subject property is a
0.53-acre tract of land zoned an "A-I" District with a single-family residence under construction.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Backeround: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
fi.om an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District and a "B-1" Neighborhood Business District
with a Special Permit to a "B-4" General Business District in order to legalize the building
expansion on Lot 12 and allow auto parts sales and parking on Lot 11. In May 1988, Lot 12
was granted a Special Permit for an auto repair facility subject to a site plan. The site plan
limited the building to 2,400 square t~et and the conditions required the use to be inside the
building and a screening fence installed along the south and east property lines. Sometime
in 1996 or shortly thereafter, a 2,071 square foot addition was made to the existing structure
in violation of the approved Special Permit and without the benefit of a building permit. The
applicant has owned Lot 11 since at least 1988, when the original Special Permit on Lot 12
was granted. For the past three (3) years, notices of violation have been sent to the applicant
stating that on Lot 11 storage of vehicles, pending repair, outside storage of material, and
employee parking is not permitted. There are single-family residences abutting the subject

Case No. 1000-02 (Paul S. Vera)

property to the south and east. The subject property has direct access to an arterial, Home
Road, and to a local street, Teresa Street. Approval of a "B-4" District would permit the
expansion of the auto repair facility, as well as other uses, such as auto sales, bars, dance
halls. Such uses are not considered appropriate when adjacent to a residential area. The
adjacent residential area has remained a stable residential area. The expansion ofa "B-I"
District or use on Lot 11 could further undermine the stability of the residential
neighborhood, given the applicant's history of code violations regarding the storage of
vehicles on Lot I 1. The residential area and zoning should remain intact and that the
commercial area not permitted expand.
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the expansion of the commercial zoning
due to the subject property's direct access to an arterial. The Westside Area Development
Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to develop with Iow-density
residential uses due to the residential character. The requested "B-4" District is not
consistent with the Plan's adopted future land use map.
Potential Housing Density: Residential density in the "R-IB" District is 7.26 dwelling units
per acre or 2 units on Lot 11, but only one unit per platted lot. A "B-I" District permits a
residential density of 36.30 dwelling units per acre or fourteen (14) units on Lot 12. The
"B-4" District permits a density of 36.30 dwelling units per acre or 28 units on the subject
property. This increase in density could adversely impact the adjacent single-family
residential area.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: The "R-lB" District requires a front yard setback of 25 feet with
a side and mar yard setback of five (5) feet each. Both the "B-I" and "B-4" Districts require
a front yard setback of twenty (20) feet with no required side or mar yard unless adjacent to
a residential district where a setback of ten (10) feet each will be required along that
adjacency. Buildings in the "R-lB" and "B-I" Districts are limited to 35 feet not to exceed
three (3) stories. There are no building height limitations in the "B-4" District.
Si~na~e: Signs in the "R-lB" District are limited to one wall sign ~vith an area not to exceed
one square foot. Wall signs in the "B-I" and "B-4" Districts are unlimited. Freestanding
signs in the "B-I" District are limited to one sign with a sign area of forty (40) square feet
and a height of twenty (20) feet. Freestanding signs in the "B-4" District located behind the
20-foot setback, are unlimited as to size. height, or number. Ifa freestanding sign is located
within the front yard setback, it is limited to one sign per street frontage with an area of forty
(40) square feet and a height of 25 feet. Approval of the "B-4" District would have the
potential of having large signs in proximity to a sensitive neighborhood.
Traffic: As an auto repair facility, the amount of traffic generated will be minimal and not
impact the adjacent arterial road, Home Road.
ParkinmScreenine: An auto repair facility is required to provide one off-street parking space
Zoning Report
Case No. 1000-02 (Paul S. Vera)
Page 5
for each three (3) employees on the premise. Compliance with the parking regulations will
required during the permitting phase of the project. A standard screening fence with a height
of not less than six (6) feet is (equired when a business or industrial use locates adjacent to
a residential district. A standard screening fence will be required along the south and east
property lines.
Costs to City: All of the infrastructure required to serve the subject property is in place and
no costs to the City are anticipated.
Platting: The subject property contains 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 requested "B-4" District is not consistent with the adopted Westside Area Development
Plan's recommended land use.
b)
Expansion of the nonresidential zoning could disrupt the stability of the residential
neighborhood.
c)
Based on the applicant's history of compliance, it is very possible that over time, the outside
storage of vehicles, junked vehicles and materials will continue and expand.
Staff Recommendation:
Denial.
If Planning Commission is of the opinion to grant a revised Special Permit on Lot 12 or a Special
Permit on all of the subject property, some consideration should be given on limiting the use and
being specific on types of vehicles. Conditions should include either a masonry wall or a standard
screening fence along the south property line, a standard screening fence along the east property line,
require a 5-foot wide landscaping strip along the property lines adjacent to the streets, limiting the
size of the auto repair facility, and require all improvements to be done within one year from the date
the ordinance is approved.

abandoned. There is a white car with broken windows (with the weather we have
had any owner would cover it, but they haven't). There is a city ordinance that
prohibits cars from parking on top of the curb, but on numerous occasions there
are cars parked there. If this any indication of what we have to look forward to,

Paul S. Vera: 1000-02
REQUEST:
"R-lB" One-family Dwelling District and "B-I" Neighborhood Business District with a Special
Permit to "B4" General Business District on Laguna Acres, Block 1, Lots I 1 and 12, located on
the southeast comer of Home Road and Teresa Street
Motion by Kelly, seconded by Sween-McGloin to remove the zoning case from the table. Motion passed
unanimously with Cheek and Berlanga being absent.
Mr. Saldafla presemed a slide illustration of the subject property and the surrounding area. Lot 11 of the
subject property is part of a larger area zoned a "R-I B" District that is developed with a golf course to the noFth and
single-family residences to the south. There are 3.25 acres of land zoned a "B-I" District developed with auto repair
uses and single-family residences extending south along Teresa Street and Lot 12 of the subject property. There is an
"A-I" District, 0.53-acre, east of the subject property with a single-family residence under construction.
Mr. Saldafla provided a brief zoning history of the subject property. In May 1988, Lot 12 was granted a
Special Permit for an auto repair shop subject to a site plan and conditions. City Council denied a request for a
change of zoning from a "B-I/SP" District to an "I-2" District in order to continue outside repair of vehicles and
large trucks and semi-trailers in May 1996. In July 2000, the Planning Commission reviewed a request for a change
of zoning on Lot 11 from an "R-I B" District to a "B-4" District in order for the applicant to expand the auto repair
business onto the lot. The case was continued; however, the applicant subsequently withdrew his request in order to
resubmit an application that included Lot 12.
The applicant requested a change of zoning to allow the illegal expansion on Lot 12 and to expand the auto
repair facility onto Lot 11. The site plan associated with the Special Permit granted in May 1988 indicated a building
with 2,400 square feet. The conditions required the auto repair use to be inside the building and also required that a
screening fence be erected along the south and east property lines. It was discovered in 1996 or shortly thereafter,
that there was a 2,071 square foot addition to the existing structure. The addition violated the approved Special
Permit. It was later discovered that the applicant did not receive a building permit for the construction.
Mr. Saldafla stated that the applicant has owned Lot 11 since at least 1988, when the original Special
Permit on Lot 12 was granted. For the past three (3) years, notices of violations have been sent to the applicant
stating that Lot I 1 is not permitted to store vehicle awaiting repairs or to be used as an outside storage area or
employee parking.
The subject property has direct access to au arterial, Home Road, and to a local street, Teresa Street.
Approval of a "B-4" District would permit the expansion of the auto repair facility, as well as other uses, such as
auto sales, bars, dance halls. However, due to the adjacency of a residential area, such uses are not considered
appropriate. The adjacent residential area has remained a stable residential area. The expansion of a nonresidential
district or use could undermine the stability of the residential neighborhood. Given the applicant's history of code
violations regarding the storage of vehicles on Lot 11 and the existing auto repair use, the adverse impact on
residences could be magnified. It is Staff's opinion that the residential area and zoning remain intact and that the
commercial area not be permitted expand.
Mr. Saldafia outlined the applicant's history of code violations. With regard to Lot 12, in December 1993,
the applicant was sent notice of a zoning violation for outside storage of vehicles, auto parts, outside repair of
vehicles and heavy equipment repair. In March 1994, another notice of violation was sent for failure to correct the
previous violations. With regard to Lot 11, in April 1997, the applicant was sent a notice of violation for having the
open storage of vehicles in a residential district. A second notice of violation was sent in January 1998 for the open
storage of vehicles, junk vehicles and a portable sign in a residential district. A third notice of vinlation was sent in
November 1999 for the open storage of vehicles.

The subject property is located within the Westside Area Development Plan which recommends the area to
develop with iow-density residential uses due to the residential character. The requested "B4" District is not
consistent with the Plan's adopted future land use map. Therefore, Staffrecommends denial of the rezoning request.
The denial would not void the current Special Permit; however the applicant would have to comply with the Special
Permit issued. There were 26 notices mailed to prope~y owners within a 200-foot radius of which none were
returned in favor and seven (7) were returned in opposition.
Vice Chairman Mims opened the public hearing.
Victor Medina, 2434 Sacky Drive, representing Mr. Paul Vera, stated that Mr. Vera has owned the business
since 1988 and admitted that there have been previous code violations. Ma'. Medina stated that in 1996, the
applicant hired a con~'actor to add onto the building and assumed that the contractor received all permits that were
required. He continued that due to the fact that the addition is located five (5) feet fi.om the property line, he is
requesting the Special Permit on Lot 12 and rezoning on Lot 11 to provide parking. In exchange, Mr. Vera would
not continue auto repair outside of the building. Mr. Medina presented photographs illustrating that the applicant
has removed inoperable vehicles fi.om the subject property. He stated that the plan is to rezone and replat the
property in order to receive a Certificate of Occupancy on the subject property. Mr. Medina stated that the applicant
did not understand that he was in violation of the Special Permit. In response to Commissioner Kelly's question
regarding the proposed use for Lot 11, Mr. Medina stated that the applicant proposes to provide parking on Lot 11
and has future plans to develop an auto parts store.
Mr. Paul Veto, 3318 Casa De Amigos, stated that he hired a contractor to build the addition to the building.
In response to Commissioner Kelly's question regarding storing vehicles behind the building, Mr. Vera stated that
he discontinued storing vehicles four (4) weeks prior to the meeting. Mr. Gunning stated that the latest violation
notice for open storage of vehicles was issued to Mr. Vera was in November 1999.
In response to Commissioner Kelly's question regarding the new addition to the building if the
Commission denies the rezoning request, Mr. Gunning stated that if the Special Permit is not approve by City
Council to alIow the rezoning request, Mr. Vera would be required to remove the building. Mr. Vera clarified that he
did not store "junk" cars; he repairs vehicles in the building. In response to Commissioner Salazar's question
regarding the quality of construction of the addition to the building, Mr. Medina stated that the building can be
completed properly and that he could certify the construction due to the lack of major repairs needed.
Commissioner Salazar stated that he could not support forcing Mr. Vera to tear his building down.
In response to Commissioner Zamora's question regarding Mr. Vera's ability to conduct all mechanical
repairs within the enclosed facility, Mr. Vera stated that he would be able to repair vehicles in the facility.
Daniel Vera, 4322 Driftwood Place, stated that there is a National Guard armory and golf course near the
subject property.. Mr. Veto gave an example of O'Reily Auto Part Sales on Weber Road is located near a residential
area. He continued that customers of every auto part store who purchase an auto part do repairs to their vehicles in
the parking lots. Mr. Vera stated that the applicant repairs city vehicles and cannot believe that the city was not
aware of the addition. Mr. Vera stated that, in his opinion, the applicant is the model of industry for the Hispanic
community and continued that it would be "mean" to not allow the applicant the opportunity to grow and be
industrious. In response to Commissioner Kelly's question regarding previous violations and neighborhood
opposition. Mr. Vera stated that the neighbors are unreasonable. Mr. Vera questioned why neighbors would oppose
someone succeeding and continued that neighborhood opposition derives from jealousy.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Saldafia stated that the parking requirement for an auto repair facility is dependent on the number of
employees: one (1) parking space for every three (3) employees, lhe auto part facility is considered a retail facility
which requires one (1) parking space for every 200 square feet of gross floor area. Mr. Saldafla stated that the
original Special Permit indicated 18 parking spaces. The majority of the area requiring parking spaces is paved.

Motion by SweenoMcGloin to deny the rezoning request. Motion failed due to lack of a second.
Commissioner Kelly stated that he questioned the applicant's credibility and stated that the neighbors have
the right to protection. In response to his question regarding residential development in the area, Mr. Saldafla stated
that there is a residential home being constructed near the subject property and believes that the neighborhood is a
stable residential neighborhood. Mr. Gunning stated that staffpreviously concluded that auto repair, auto sales, and
auto storage uses are not compatible with adjacent residential areas. Since 1988, the Planning Commission has
taken a position of allowing the existing use but limiting the expansion through the Special Permit. Commissioner
Kelly suggested a Special Permit, which expands the square footage of the building. He continued that a
requirement be included that the building be built to City Code.
Mr. Saldafia stated that there is an issue with regard to the building's proximity to the property line. The
building line is 2.5 feet from the property line. He stated there might be a requirement to replat Lots I l and 12 to
require the 10-foot building setback. Another alternative would be to include a stipulation in the Special Permit that
the applicant could build within 2.5 feet of the property line. Commissioner Sween-McGloin expressed concern
with the setback line and believed that a replatting requirement should be included. She stated that considering the
proposed use, a decrease in the setback would affect the health, safety, and welfare of the community.
Cornnaissioner Richter expressed concern with acting on Lot 12 and not Lot I 1 and allowing a waiver on
the parking requirement on Lot 12. She stated that the original Special Permit requires 18 parking spaces that
cannot be met on Lot 12; if Lot I l is also considered, Lot I l could serve as a paved parking area for the auto parts
store. She suggested a Special Permit for Lots 11 and 12. Mr. Saldafla suggested a "B-lA" District zoning to
require the additional setback on Lot I l, leaving the "B-l' Disa'ict on Lot 12.
In response to Commissioner Amsler's question regarding the definition of a "junk caf', Mr. Saldafla stated
that a junk vehicle is any vehicle that is inoperable and not currently registered. Mr. Saldafla continued that
Mr. Paul Vara would begin to comply with the Zoning Code and ultimately not complete the project to be in
compliance. Code Enforcement had to ultimately file citations with Municipal Court.
Commissioner Salazar stated that there are many issues to be addressed with regard to the Special Permit
language.
Motion by Salazar, seconded by Kelly, to table the zoning case for two (2) weeks. Motion passed
unanimously with Cheek and Berlanga being absent.

Continued Zoning Cases
Paul S. Vera: 1000-02
REQUEST:
"R-lB" One-Family Dwelling District And "B-I" Neighborhood Business District W/Special
perrmt to "B-4" General Business District on property, described as Laguna Acres, Block 1, Lots
11 and 12, and located on the southeast comer of Home Road and Teresa Street
Mr. Saldafia said that on October 11, 2000, the Planning Cornrn/ssion continued the zoning request to the
October 25, 2000 meeting at the request of the applicant, due to an emergency. On October 25, 2000, the Planning
comrmssion, after reviewing the facts and taking public testimony, Planning Commassion continued the case to
November 8, 2000 with directions for the Staff and the applicant to meet in order to develop some Special Permit
conditions for consideration.
Staff developed for Planning Commission consideration two (2) Special pemUt options, each requiring a
site plan. The ftrst option assumes that Lot 11, currently undeveloped, would be recommended for a "B-I"
Neighborhood, Business District. The second option assumes that Lot 11 remains zoned a "R-lB" One-fam/ly
Dwelling District. Approval of the Option 2 will require the applicant to reconfignre the parking on Lot 12 in order
to provide the required off-street parking spaces. If the Planning comrmssion considers allowing the applicant to
provide off-street parking on Lot 1 I, it is Staf£s opinion that Lot I 1 should be rezoned to a nonresidential district
since the proposed use is a nonresidential use, an expansion of the nonresidential use to the west, and the existing
safeguards to surrounding residences are in the Zoning Ordinance.
Mr. Saldafia highlighted the two (2) Special Permits proposed for the subject property.
Mr. Saldafia said that Staff's recommendation is for den/al of Lot 11 and approval of a Special Permit on
Lot 12. However, if the Plaumng ComnUssion recommends a revision to the Special perrmt on Lot 12 or a Special
Permit on all of the subject property, some consideration should be given on limiting the use and being more
specific on types of vehicles to be stored. The conditions should include either a masonry wall or a standard
screening fence along the south property line, a standard screening fence along the east property line, a five-foot
wide landscaping strip along the property lines adjacent to the streets, a limitation on the size of the auto repair
facility, and require all improvements to be completed within one year from the date the ordinance is approved.
Mr. Saldafia clarified the options presented by saying that Option I allows Lot l 1 to be zoned a "B-I"
Neighborhood Business District. The auto parts store on Lot 12 could be converted to an auto repair facility.
Option 2 prohibits development of Lot 11 by not allowing a zoning change from "R-lB" District. The business
would be iocated on Lot 12 with a Special pemUt to allow the existing structure to operate as it is currently. He
continued that the applicant would need to replat because the property line is 2.5 Feet from the existing building in
violation of the required 10-foot setback. Mr. Saldafia clarified that an auto parts store is allowed in a "B-i"
Neighborhood Business District not to exceed 3,000 square feet.
Chanmmn Berlanga requested that the landscaping section of the Special perrmt be amended to read "three
(3) canopy trees along Teresa Street and two (2) canopy trees along Home Road."
Cornrmssioner Cheek questioned whether Option 2 would provide adequate parking on Lot 12 to which
Mr. Saldafia answered in the affirmative.
Chairman Berlanga opened the public hearing.
Mr. Victor Medina~ representing Mr. Paul S. Vera, 2434 Sacky, said that he met with the City staffto create
an alternative solutions. Mr. Medina stated that he and his client believed that Option 1 would be most beneficial in
order to provide parking spaces for the auto parts store. He requested that both lots be considered for rezoning.
Chairman Berlanga stated that the property is currently in violation of City Codes. The Corramssion needs
lo make a recommendation that would safeguard the neighborhood by requiring trees, landscaping, masonry fencing.
and an improved (asphalt) parking lot. He continued that he believed the business was viable because It provides a

service to the neighbors as well as the City. However, Chatrman Berlanga stated that Mr. Vera had a credibility
issue regarding code comphance and needs t9 demonstrate that he can be a good citizen to the neighborhood.
Mr. Paul S. Vera, 3318 Casa de Amigos, addressed Chaxrman Berlanga's question whether Mr. Vera's
property was asphalted by saying that it was a blacktop surface and that .he had repaired the potholes in the parking
lot.
Mr. Gnnning requested that the time limit condition is modified fi-om 7 a.m. to I0 p.m. to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
and that a condition be added to the Special pernuts proposed to require the applicant to obtain all necessary
building pernuts and a Certificate of Occupancy.
Commissioner Kelly said that the comnUssion had the right to protect the neighborhood and balance
protection of the neighbors against the need of a business to expand. He said that after reading comments provided
by the applicant's neighbors, he believed that only certain type of uses should be allo~ved to expand onto Lot 11.
The CommXssion discussed whether a requirement could be placed on the applicant to require a bond.
Mr. Gunning said that the Zoning Ordinance allows for a performance bond for deferred screening construction but
not for rezoning.
Ms. Janie Santos, 2526 Crestlea, said that the process to get Mr. Vera into compliance has taken a long
time. She said that the City has sent him violation notices because of the type of debris on Lot 11. There are cars
parked on the curbs and pot holes on the subject property parking lot. She requested that the Commission, when
considering a Special penmt, place a timeline for repairs to the structure and parking lot. She continued by saying
that vehicles block traffic and said that there should be something that Mr. Vera can do to clean his environment.
Ms. Santos asked who would police the area to ensure that Mr. Vera was abiding to the Special Permit conditions
and stated that the residents are suffering.
Mr. Doyle Curtis, Assistant City Attorney, said that the Special Permit would expire if Mr. Vera did not
complete the tasks assigned in the conditions witttin the allowable timeframe.
Ms. Escamilla, 1110 Lolita, said that she lives directly behind Lot 11 and that Mr. Vera has not been
keeping his property clean. She continued by saying that she has trimmed the trees that extend across her hurricane
fence and killed snakes that live in the tall grass on Mr. Vera's property and cross into her properly. Ms. Escamilla
complained about Mr. Vera keeping junk cars on the vacant lot and the rodents that are attracted to the area because
of the trash and debris. She said that she believes Mr. Vera has not been a good neighbor.
Ms. Senora Mesa, 11 I4 Lolita, said that the property looks terrible and that Mr. Vera cleans his property
when he receives notices from the City. There are rodents on the vacant lot due to the high grass. She claimed that
Mr~ Vera was not concerned because he did not live in the neighborhood.
Mr. Paul Vera, 3318 Casa De Amigos, said that he cleans his property.
Public hearing was closed.
Comrmssion discussed alternatives to the Special Permit provided in the Zoning Report and requested
additions in order to further protect the neighborhood.
Motion by Cheek, seconded by Richter, to deny the rezoning request, and in lieu thereof, approve a Special
Permit for automotive repair on Lot I2 subject to a site plan and the following ten (10) conditions:
1)
ALLOWED USES: The only use authorized by this Special Permit other than those uses permatted by right

Why was this change necessary? (If left off the plans and specifications, explain why)
Plans show 3/4# plywood on metal deck with copDer roofinq. Plan review required non-

while NFPA 13 requires check valves on fire lines, m,,-~ipalities have discretion as to
location and confiquration, city of Corpus christi required that the check valve be

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND: Annually, the City Council includes funding in the operating
budget for support to various arts programs in the City. The Arts & Cultural
Commission (formerly the Municipal Arts Commission) solicits requests from
local organizations and then makes a recommendation of funding to the City
Council. The recommendation for FY 00-01 is based on the review of grant
applications by an Ad Hoc Peer Panel consisting of 10 members from different
art disciplines which were approved by the City Council motion M2000-219.
Their recommendations were based on artistic merit, community needs, impact
on tourism and the applying organization's ability to match the grant, which is
50% of the total project award.
A project selection procedure, the Arts Subgrant Guidelines, was developed in
1986 modeled after the Texas Commission on the Arts Peer Panel Review and
has been updated regularly since. The process uses a worksheet rating system
that addresses specific questions on the quality of each grant request. The final
recommendation is adjusted mathematically to the amount of funds available.
Applicants had the option to apply for an organizational grant or a project grant.
An organizational grant funds all projects within a calendar year and a project
grant funds individual projects of an organization. This year, 31 grant requests
were received from 21 arts organizations totaling $453,171. The ACC is
recommending that 21 grant requests from 17 arts and cultural organizations be
funded.
The Arts Subgrant Guidelines define a process that provides an organization with
two opportunities to appeal their recommended level of funding - first with the
ACC and then with the City Council. This year there were no appeals to the
ACC. Four organizations and ten projects were denied funding through the Hotel
Occupancy Fund guidelines for the fiscal year. These organizations did not
appeal to the ACC.
The total allocation recommended by the Arts & Cultural Commission to the arts
organizations is $114,000 in subgrant funding (Attachment A); $7,500 from the
Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund for the Copini Restoration project (SOS Matching
Grant), and allocating $5,000 from the Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund for Arts &
Cultural Commission maintenance projects and artwork.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: $134,000 from the Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund was
authorized in the FY 1999-2000 budget for arts projects.
The members of the 2000 Ad Hoc Peer Panel were approved by City Council
motion on June 27, 2000.
BOARD/COMMITTEE REVIEW: The Arts & Cultural 'Commission approved the
recommendation to the City Council at their September 21,2000, Commission
meeting.
FUNDING: Funding was reduced to $126, 500 due to the $7,500 line item for the
Texas Jazz Festival. The total recommended allocation is $126,500 to be funded
from the FY 2000-01 budget authorization for arts in the Hotel Occupancy Tax
Fund.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
For the past two years, the City of Corpus Christi Police Department has been designated to receive
funding under the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grants Program through the State of
Texas. This year, Municipal Court is applying for this grant. The funds must be used within the 12
specific purpose areas in an effort to achieve the greatest impact on reducing juvenile delinquency,
improve the juvenile justice system and increase the accountability of juvenile offenders. The
maximum years of funding - there is no limit (based on availability). The deadline for application
submission is December 31, 2000.
The City will receive these funds automatically by filing an application. As a Federal requirement
of the funding, the City has established a Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition (JCEC) consisting
of various representatives from the community. The Mayors Commission on Children and Youth
meets the criteria established for the coalition, The proposed purposes to establish a Juvenile Court,
establish accountability standards and interagency sharing of information and improvements in the
management of juvenile cases at Municipal Court meet the grant's criteria and were discussed and
presented for approval at the December 11th meeting of the Mayor's Commission on Children and
Youth.
The funding has a distribution requirement of 45 and 35 percent minimums to be used in specific
purpose areas; however, a waiver may be granted for the distrib~ution requirement if the local unit
of govemment can certify that the interest of public safety and juvenile crime control would be better
served by expending the funds in a different proportion. The City is requesting such a waiver in
order to use the majority amount of funding to establish hiring one additional prosecutor, a part-time
Judge, support staff and technical support to ensure the smooth and expeditious administration of
the javenile justice system. This is in addition to establishing and maintaining an interagency
i~ormation program that enables prosecutors and Judges to make more informed decisions regarding
the juveniles. Under this proposal, the funds will also be used to expand the interagency sharing of
information between Municipal Court and the Juvenile Assessment Center.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
December 1, 2000
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution authorizing the City Manager.to execute a treated water supply
contract with the Violet Water Supply Corporation.
ISSUE: The Violet Water Supply Corporation (VWSC) has purchased water from the City of
Corpus Christi since 1968. The most recent contract was executed in 1977 and expired in 1982. The
sale of water has been on the same terms and conditions since then. The water is sold at the Outside
City Limits Commercial Rate.
On April 28, 1998, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 023290, which authorized the City
Manager to execute a treated water supply contract with the Violet Water Supply Corporation.
However, the VWSC requested minor modifications to the contract prior to execution based upon
comments from the Department of Agriculture. These modifications require the City Council to
reauthorize the contract.
In addition to minor editorial changes, the alterations were as follows: 1. The amount of water the City agrees to sell to VWSC increased from 6,000,000 to
18,000,000 gallons per month.
2. Installation and maintenance of the water meter was shifted from VWSC to the City.
3. The City is requiring that any storage facilities that VWSC may construct be built and
maintained to any standards adopted by the TNRCC or other regulatory authority.
Other terms and conditions of the contract are the same as approved by City Council in 1998. The
contract includes a term for 30 years with provisions for review and amendment every five years.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: On April 28, 1998 the City Council approved Ordinance No. 023290
which authorized the City Manager to execute a Treated Water Supply Contract with the VWSC.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of the contract is required in order to set forth the
terms and conditions for the sale of water.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager or
his designee to execute the contract.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Date: December 12, 2000
AGENDA ITEM: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER, OR
DESIGNEE, TO SELL ONE 15 KVA S&G SWITCHGEAR, ONE 75 KVA
TRANSFORMER, AND APPROXIMATELY 3,280 FEET OF CABLE
("EQUIPMENT") TO CENTRAL POWER & LIGHT (CP&L) IN CONSIDERATION
FOR PAYMENT OF ONE DOLLAR AND THE ASSUMPTION OF ALL
OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR EXPENSES RELATED THERETO.
ISSUE: As a result of Senate Bill 7 CP&L notified the City that as of September I, 2000 they
will begin phasing out services that they have identified as "competitive energy services". The
switchgear and cable were purchased in 1994 for $93,906 with 90% Federal participation and
has been maintained under an agreement with CP&L. The transformer was purchased for
approximately $1,760 of non-Federal funds. CP&L will no longer be able to maintain the
equipment. If the City retained the high voltage equipment, our per kilowatt-hour rate would
increase. Also we would need to out-source (non-City or Power Company) a costly maintenance
agreement, and invest in a spare parts inventory to reduce down time. A cost benefit analysis,
attached, shows that it would be beneficial for the City to divest itself of this equipment and the
resulting maintenance costs. FAA concurs with this action.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Council approval is required for all resolutions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the motion as submitted.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
November 21, 2000
BACKGROUND:
In 1993 the Corpus Christi International Airport (CCIA), under Grant Number FAA AIP 3-48-
0051-19-93 accepted federal funding in the amount of $84,515.85. This money, in conjunction
with the City's matching portion, was used to purchase a 15 KVA switch gear (federal funds
expended: $70,470), 3280 feet of cable (federal funds expended: $14,045.85) and a 75 KVA
transformer (federal funds expended: $0.00). Total combined funds expended were $95,666.
The Airport staff carefully considered the costs and benefits of two options and determined that
option 2 was the most desirable. Although, on the surface, it appears that the city will be selling
valuable equipment for $I.00 the benefits far outweigh any costs when a malfunction occurs. If
the Airport owns all of the high voltage equipment it will be required to maintain spare
transformers, on site, at a cost of between $1,760 and $43,852 (we currently have 5 transformers
at the Airport). The lead-time to obtain a high voltage transformer can be between 6 to 8 months,
a time the Airport could not afford to be down. As the Airport grows so does the electrical
demand placed on it. In the future, as new loads are identified and increased transformer sizes
are required CP&L will upgrade them at no cost to the Airport. In the short term this will result
in immediate savings as at least one transformer is programmed for upgrade at a cost of $15,820.
In addition, should a failure occur at the switchgear, the Airport would be required to absorb the
costs of labor to perform repairs and the risk of extended down time depending on parts
availability. CP&L maintains parts and the required technicians, on call at all times, and would
perform repairs at no cost to the Airport with minimum down time. The equipment currently has
a residual value as indicated below.
Residual Value = Purchase-Depreciation (20/7yrs.)
Item Purchase Price Depreciation (7 yrs.) Residual Value
15 KVA $78,300 $27,405 $50,895
Switch Gear
Cables $15,606 $5,462 $10,144
75 KVA
Transformer $1,760 $616 $1,144
TOTAL: $95,666 $33,483 $62,183
The staff has reviewed the following two options.
OPTION 1
This option provides for the City to pumhase two 1000KVA transformers, one 300 KVA
transformer and 2,470 feet of cable for the price of $29,400.
Advantage;
The Airport would be considered a Primary class Customer and would continue
with a Rate 44 charge.
Disadvantages;
1. The Airport must negotiate, with a third party, for a maintenance agreement
for the high voltage switchgear at an estimated annual cost of $6,885.12.
2. In the event of a transformer failure, lead-time on a replacement is typically 6-
8 months, at a cost of up to $43.00 per KV. The availability of high voltage
transformers is limited and would require maintaining spare units.
3. The airport is responsible for the maintenance, repair and buy out costs of all
high voltage components of the system.
Estimated Total Average Annual Charges $281,593.11
OPTION 2
This option provides for CP&L to purchase the main distribution switchgear, one 75 KVA
transformer and 3,280 feet of cable, for a cost of $1.00.
Advantages;
1. CP&L owns and maintains all high voltage components of the electrical
distribution system at the Airport.
2. The Airport is metered on the output side of all transformers, although at a
higher rate (rate 32), this reduces line loss that the Airport had been
absorbing.
3. The Airport no longer pays any transformer or wire rental.
4. The Airport no longer pays maintenance on the 12.5KVswitchgear.
5. CP&L is on call 24 hours per day, 365 days per year to respond to electrical
system problems and maintains, in stock, any transformer or wire that may be
required.
6. CP&L will upgrade any transformer as future load dictates, at no cost to the
Airport.
Disadvantages;
No disadvantages to this option have been identified.
Estimated Total Average Annual charges $281,618.96
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: The transfer of property and the resultant maintenance
requirements would be implemented as soon as practical following Council approval.
BOARD/COMMITTEE REVIEW: On September 21, 2000 the Airport Board voted to
approve the recormnendation.
FUNDING: No funding is involved.

Dear Mr. Sanchez;
The City of Corpus Christi, Texas has been notified by our electrical energy supplier,
AEP Central Power & Light, (CP&L) that as a result of Texas Senate Bill 7, which
requires full retail compcfifion, they began phasing out services that they consider
"competitive energy services" as of September 1, 2000. A copy of that letter is attached.
Until then the Aviation Depan'ment had a maintenance agreement with CP&L to maintain
certain high voltage electrical facilities. In preparation for the Public Utility Commission
of Texas (PUCT) adopted roles and in accordance with the agreement, on May 31, 2000
CP&L provided the City with the required notice of intent to terminate the services
provided for in the agreement.
We also had a Facilities Rental Agreement with CP&L that included transformer rentals.
Transformer rental has also been identified as a eompefitiye energy service under PUCT
rules and must be phased out by SanuaDt I, 2002.
The Airport presently receives elec~cal service from CP&L though our switchgear
located near the north west comer oflntemational Drive. This switchgear serves three
CP&L owned transformers and one City (Ah'port) owned transformer. The cables on the
east side of the public parking lot are owned by CP&L and the cables on the north and
west sides of the parking lot are owned by the Airport.
The average energy bill for the Airport, as a primary class RATE 44 customer, is
$268,872.00 at an average price per kilowatt-hour of 4.7 cents. The annual cost for
facilities rental is $12,026.64 and the annual cost for facilities maintenance is $6,885.12.
This makes the average annual energy expense $287,783.76. As a result of thc new
regulations the average energy expense will change.

OCT 11 '00 0?:55 FR F~ TX ~0 AS~-650 8172225989 TO 91~612890251 p,03704
Two options have been identified on how best to proceed. The options arc either the
Airport buying the equipment currently owned and leased to the Airport by CP&L, or the
Airport selling its equipment to CP&L.
A cost-benefit analysis of the various available options h~s been completed and, factoring
in the change in class service rates, equipment costs and maintenance expenditures, it
appears that the most cost effective long-range rccornmendation is that the AL-port sell
one S&C switchgear, one ?$ kVA ~ransformcr and approximately 3,280 fcct of cable to
CP&L for $1.00. This would mcan that CP&L would be responsible for the operation
and maintenance of all of thc 12 kV electrical facilities.
The S&C switchgear and the cable were purchased by the Airport in 1994 with Federal
participatinn under FAA AlP 3.48-0051-19-93. The approximate cost of the equipment
was $93,906, o£which the FAA funded $84,515.40. The 7$-KVA t-mns£ormer was not
purchased with federal participation and is not fliscusscd in the cost and benefit analysis.
CCIA intends to invest the estimated residual value ($29,580) from the Federal
investment (FAA AlP No. 3-48-0051-19-93) into the Airport via our 10% share of our
recently executed grant No. AIP 3-48-0051-31-00, Construct Terminal Apron-Phase 1
from FAA.
We are requesting your assistance in identifying and facilitating the requirements
necessary to dispose of this federally funded equipment should the City proceed with this
avenue.
Attached are the options and the reasoning for the Airport requesting to divest itself of
this federally funded equipment.
As always, thank you for your ass/stance, expertise and for your efforts on behalf of the
Corpus Christ Intemational Airport. Should you need any further assistance or
information please do not hesitate to contact either myself or my staff.

PROJECT, DEFINED AS "CONSTRUCT TERMINAL APRON-PHASE I; AIRFIELD
LIGHTING CONTROLS-DESIGN ONLY", BY DELETING THE LANGUAGE "DESIGN
ONLY".
ISSUE:
The Federal Aviation Administration has notified the Aviation Department that the
Airport Lighting Control system (ALCS) in the new Air Traffic Control Tower/Terminal
Radar Approach Control (ATCT/TRACON) must be operational by the end of April,
2001. The construction of this project was originally scheduled to be funded with
discretionary funds from Phase 2 of the Terminal Apron project. The FAA has requested
that its construction be funded from Phase 1 of the project. This does not negatively
impact the project schedule.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Council must approve all resolution amendments.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving the resolution as submitted.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
December 12, 2000
The Terminal Apron Project (project) consists of several related projects, including extending the
commercial apron to the south to allow Group IV aircraft movement on the ramp, constructing two
access roads to help keep non-essential vehicles separated from aircraft, relocating the triturator,
designing and installing the Airport Lighting Control system (ALCS), relocating the airport beacon,
constructing new pavement on the north side of the commercial apron adjacent to the new terminal
building, relocating the apron lighting, and upgrading (replacing) the airfield generator. Funding for
the various projects is to be 90% federal and 10% local matching.
The initial scheduling for the new Air Traffic Control Tower/Terminal Radar Approach Control
(ATCT/TRACON) called for the design of the ALCS to be included in Phase I and the actual
equipment acquisition and installation to be in Phase II. The FAA has recently notified the Airport
that the ATCT/TRACON construction is ahead of schedule and requires the ALCS to be installed
and operating no later than the end of April, 2001. This requires that the ALCS be included in
Phase I funding from part of the $1.8 million the Airport received for that phase.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: Council has previously approved the design and engineering work for
these projects.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Council will be requested to award of one or more construction
contract(s) for the improvements.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: The design and engineering is currently on-going and is
expected to be completed in January, 2001 at which time the projects will be let for bid.
FUNDING: Funding is available from an FAA grant (90%) and the Airport Passenger Facility Fund
(10%).
BOARD/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Since the FAA requires the City to agree to this
grant/resolution amendment by no later than December 15, 2000 this item is time driven and has
not been presented to the Airport Board for recommendation. They have, however, been notified
of this issue in writing.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
December 5, 2000
AGENDA ITEM:
Ordinance authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to execute a month to
month lease, not to exceed eleven months, with Kapulua, on the Northwest
corner of the Lawrence Street T-Head, for the purpose of operating a marine
service station providing fuel for boats and cars and approving a rental rate of 1
and ½ percent of gross sales, or a monthly minimum of $200, whichever is
greater; and declaring an emergency.
ISSUE:
The Landry's Corporation (Landry's) does not want to operate the existing fuel
station currently located next to their new restaurant location on the Lawrence
Street T-Head, nor do they want those operations to be located so close to the
new restaurant building. Landry's has offered, at their expense, to relocate the
existing fuel station and the Wastewater Pump-Out Station to the Northeast
corner of the Cooper's Alley L-Head. That location is designated and has been
used in the past as the alternate fueling site for the City Marina.
Staff will be working on the RFP to establish a new fueling operation and pump-
out station at the new site on the L-Head. During the interim, while the Landry's
restaurant is being remodeled, the City Marina must ensure that fuel is available
and pump-out capabilities continue on site for its customers, it is imperative that
the existing fuel station and pump-out station remain open until such time as the
new fuel service facility and relocated pump-out station are both fully operational
at the new location.
Kapalua Southwest Fuel Services (Kapalua) currently supplies fuel and owns the
bulk fuel tanks located at the existing fuel station on the Lawrence T-Head.
Kapalua has offered to continue supplying fuel and is willing to operate the
fueling services on a short-term basis at the existing location under a month to
month lease not to exceed eleven months.
City staff will bring back a long-term fuel station service lease for City Council
consideration and action at a later date.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
The City Council must approve the authorization of the City Manager, or his
designee, to execute this month to month lease for this service to continue in an
interim fashion until the RFP process has been completed.

COMMENTS:
On October 31, 2000, staff requested City Council to approve an eighteen-month lease
with Verizon Wireless Communications. The first reading of the ordinance was approved
by the City Council. Subsequent to this approval, staff was asked to expedite the effective
date of the lease. Since the eighteen-month lease requires two readings and a
subsequent sixty-day waiting period, for a total of approximately ninety days before the
lease becomes effective, a short-term lease was recommended and approved by the
Council on November 21, 2000.
The short-term lease (approved on November 21") will be month to month not to exceed
12 months and will automatically expire upon the effective date of this long-term lease
being considered for second reading.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Date: October 31, 2000
The Verizon Wireless lease agreement will be for a term of eighteen months or until the
completion of the new terminal facilities. The lease agreement will be non-exclusive agreement in
consideration for $150.00 a month, commencing on the effective date of final approval by City
Council and terminating on the earlier of the date of substantial completion of the new terminal
facility located at the airport or the eighteen month anniversary of the effective date.
Verizon Wireless Communications would like to install several low profile antennas, throughout the
temporary facilities to increase current signal strength. The current signal strength causes airport
patrons on Verizon Wireless services to experience roaming charges while operating their cellular
phones in the terminal facilities. The locations and frequency of the equipment have been identified
and discussed with existing tenants to ensure that no conflict occurs while operating proposed
equipment. This non-exclusive agreement would allow other wireless communications companies to
provide similar services if requested.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
November 14, 2000
AGENDA ITEM:
A. Ordinance authorizing the City Manager, or Designee, to execute a twenty five year
lease with Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) of a 71,351.28 square foot
tract of land constituting City owned right-of-way fronting Ocean Drive, constituting a
portion of Ward Island, Corpus Christi, Texas, in consideration for the creation of a
public beach and payment of an annual rental rate of one dollar; providing for
publication.
B. Ordinance authorizing the City Manager, or Designee, to execute an eleven month
construction easement with Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) of a
16,639.92 square foot tract of land constituting City owned right~of-way fronting Ocean
Drive, constituting a portion of Ward Island, Corpus Christi, Texas, in consideration for
the creation of a public beach and payment of an annual rental rate of one dollar;
providing for publication.
ISSUE: Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC)has received funding approval
from the General Land Office (GLO) for approximately $1.9 million to construct a major
beach in Corpus Christi Bay immediately in front of the TAMU~CC campus. This beach will
be protected by a series of breakwaters (see attached map). In order to construct the
beach, TAMU-CC needs both a long-term lease of excess City right- of-way along Ocean
Drive adjacent to the beach (Tract A) and an additional temporary lease of a construction
easement (Tract B) (See attached legal description and maps). Only the Council can lease
City property, therefore City Council approval is needed.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Council approve
both the long-term 25-year lease and a short-term construction easement in favor of
TAMU-CC both for $1 per year. This lease will allow TAMU~CC to use the land lease value
as part of their local match for the GLO grant. In return, TAMU-CC will allow the newly
constructed beach to be a public beach to be open to all of our citizens, An additional
beach in this particular location should be a major draw and should provide an excellent
additional activity for the citizens of Corpus Christi. We recommend approval of the two
leases.

COUNTY RURAL FIRE PREVENTION DISTRICT NUMBER 1
ISSUE: The Nueces County Fire Protection District No. 1 has existed for many years
providing fire services and currently includes properties which have been incorporated into
the City of Corpus Christi. The November 7 ballot included a proposal to convert the
District to an Emergency Services District, which would increase the cap on the District's
ad valorem tax rate from 3 cents to 10 cents. That ballot item wes approved by the voters
in the District Number 1.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council has until December 12 to take
action to eliminate any property from the District.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On November 21, representatives of the District
appeared before the City Council to discuss their plans for services, expenditures and
other activities within the District. At Council direction, a public forum was held on
December 5 at the Northwest Senior Center. During that meeting, the District made a brief
presentation on its plans and the City staff made a brief presentation on the issue.
A copy of the staff presentation is included as Exhibit A The last slide in that presentation
includes the 5 alternatives for Council action from doing nothing to excluding all the
properties within the City limits from the District. Exhibit B and C have been prepared to
allow Council to act on the second and fourth options. This meeting represents Council's
final opportunity to act.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: There appears to be consensus with
the District on Alternative 2, which would remove the Industrial Districts. Adoption of this
action (contained in Exhibit B) is recommended. Council direction on any additional action
is requested.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On November 7, 2000, the City of Corpus Christi held an election to consider a number of
propositions to fund major capital improvements in the community. The voters approved $30.8
million in projects to be funded from ad valorem property taxes and two 1/8 cent sales tax
measures that provide $43.4 million and $35 million to improve and repair the Seawall and build
an Arena, respectively. Although these bond programs will not get underway for several
months, during this interim period, the City will most likely incur expenditures and obligations.
In order for the City to reimburse itself from the bond sales, a reimbursement resolution must
be approved by City Council in accordance with Treasury Regulations. The reimbursement
resolution was provided by Mr. Jeffrey Leuschel, Bond Counsel, and covers the full amount of
the bond propositions, $109,225,000. This amount is not the amount that the City will
reimburse itself, but the maximum authorization the City is permitted to have as approved by
the voters. Mr. Leuschel also provided the attached Exhibit "A," which is a list of the projects.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
Bond Preparation and November 7, 2000 City Election
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approval of Resolution expressing official intent to reimburse costs of certain projects approved
in the 2000 Bond Election.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Resolution.
