He said that of the total study area (103 square miles with 17 square miles in the city limits), 89% of the land is vacant, despite a 3% per year population growth in the northwest. He referred to maps illustrating the existing land uses, particularly at Five Points and along Northwest Boulevard (FM 624). Mr. Payne said some of the issues to be addressed by the NWADP include traffic congestion on FM 624, location of the water shed in this area, and encroachment of heavy industrial uses. With regard to traffic, he pointed out that from 1995 through 2000, traffic volume increases per year were the highest in the city, averaging 12% per year during that period. The existing traffic capacity is 30,000 trips per day and the traffic volume is approaching that capacity. Regarding the watershed, he said that stormwater in this area flows into the Nueces River and is treated by the region's water txeatment plant. Continued urbani?ation in the watershed will increase stormwater runoff pollution and make water treatment more difficult and expensive. In addition, expansion of heavy industrial uses in the Tuloso-Midway area may encroach on future residential areas. Using maps, Mr. Payne then reviewed the highlights of the draft plan regarding future land use in the flood plain, at Tuloso-Midway and at Five Points, and the furore transportation network. He said the plan recommends making County Road 52 an arterial street with an ultimate 100-foot minimum right-of-way, four travel lanes and a landscaped median. He said that road will provide a relief route for through traffic to avoid congestion on Northwest Boulevard (FM 624). A brief discussion ensued. Mr. Payne also discussed the South Loop study. He said last year the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) asked city staff to participate in a study with Nueees County and the Texas Minutes - Regular Council Meeting December 12, 2000 Page 3 Department of Transportation on methods to relieve congestion on South Padre Island Drive, which was later presented to the Council and adopted by the MPO. Mr. Pa)me said the South Loop system was incorporated into the NWADP, with connections at Carbon Plant Road and the future Joe Fulton International Trade Corridor. He further described the future South Loop, noting that it would provide an alternate route out of the city during an evacuation. Mr. Gunning said staff was asking that a public hearing on the NWADP and the first reading of the ordinance be held during the December 19, 2000 Council meeting. He said they would also ask interested parties to provide their comments. There was consensus of the Council to proceed. Mayor Neal called for consideration of the consent agenda (Items 8-27). City Secretary Chapa said that Item 20 was withdrawn. Council members and an audience member requested that Items 9, 12, and 15 be withheld for discussion. Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes: 8.

The foregoing ordinance passed on second reading by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gon?ales, Kiunison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye." Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 9, consolidated emergency dispatch center. Responding to Council Member Garrett, City Manager Garcia stated that improvements are ongoing at the Police Department and issues related to personnel have been worked out with county officials. He said he was told the Metrocom will be operational soon after the first of the year. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 9.a.

Minutes - Regular Council Meeting December 12, 2000 Page 8 The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Go~?a!es, Kinnlson, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; B. Longoria absent. Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 12, security services. Mr. Carlos Cortez, representing U.S. Security Associates, discussed his company's performance over the last three years. He said he realized the city was looking at the cost of this service, but he said a cost cannot be placed on the individuals who come into the facilities they serve. Mr. Mike Barrera, Procurement Manager, said this service has to be competitively bid. He agreed that U.S. Security Associates has served the city well for three years but the city is obligated to go with low bid or low bid meeting specifications. Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Barrera explained that the apparent low bidder Ctnitial Security) took exception to specifications regarding liability for negligence, malpractice, or theft. Council Member Gon?ales questioned the salaries that Bums International will be paying its employees. Mr. Barrem said he thought Bums indicated they paid their employees $5.50 per hour and he was not sure what the current contractor is paying. He added that employees' salaries is not a part of the city's specifications, but staff did check Burns' references and their clients include Padre Staples Mall and Oxychem. Mr. Oarcia said staff can provide the Council with a copy of the bid proposal. He said the city's practice is to try to get the best quality service at the lowest cost. Mr. Barrem added that the specifications do state that the guards have to have five years of experience (three years with the company) and they have to go through a drag screening and a credit check. Mr. Colmenero said he thinks other elements need to be considered, such as the value of the services provided. Responding to Council Member John Longoria, Mr. Barrera further described the low bidder's exception to the specifications. Mr. Longoria pointed out that a few years ago an employee of another security company was involved in a theft at City Hall, which is why those specifications are so important. He asked if the security company is required to carry workman's compensation, and Mr. Barrem said it is. Council Member Kinnison said that three years ago the city went out for bids on security services and U.S. Security Associates was awarded the contract. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 12. M2000-432 Motion approving a supply agreement with Bums International Security Services, Corpus Christi, Texas, for Uniformed Guard Security Services for City Hall, Central Library and the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant in accordance with Bid Invitation No. BI-0033-01 based on low bid meeting specifications for an estimated annual expenditure of $208,542.62. The term of the contract is for twelve months with options to extend for up to two additional 8 Minutes - Regular Council Meeting December 12, 2000 Page 9 twelve month periods, subject to the approval of the contractor and the City Manager or his designee. Funds have been budgeted by the using deparunents in FY00-01. The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye." Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 15, southside water transmission main. Responding to Council Member Scott, Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineering Services, said this phase of the project involves 8.25 miles from the O.N. Stevens Water Plant to Clarkwood and Hwy. 44. Mr. Scott reqUested a presentation regarding the other phases, including the phases affecting Padre Island. Mr. Ed Garafia said the Padre Island pump station is on line, although there is a little more work to do. Council Member Go,?ales asked that large projects such as this be placed on the regular agenda. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 15.a. M2000434 Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a construction contact with Pate & Pate Enterprises, Inc. for a total fee not to exceed $8,605,411 for the Southside Water Transmission Main from O.N. Stevens Plant to Clarkwood Road, Phase I. The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye." 15.b. M2000-435 Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a testing agreement with Trinity Engineering Testing Corporation for a total fee not to exceed $213,560 for the Southside Water Transmission Main from O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant to Clarkwood Road, Phase I. The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzaies, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye." Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 28, taxicab fares. Council Member Kinnison said he is concerned that Corpus Christi's new fares will make it one of the more expensive cities in the state and he questioned how the fare increase will affect people who depend on cab service. He then made a motion to go back to the staff's recommendation on taxi fares, which was seconded by Council Member John Longoria~ 9 Minutes - Regular Council Meeting December 12, 2000 Page 10 Assistant Police Chief Ken Bung explained that staff surveyed other cities in the state and determined what they were charging for cab fares and recommended fares in the middle of that range, which would give the local companies an increase. He added that Police Chief Pete Alvarez and Mr. Garcia met with the cab company owners, who agreed with the recommendation. Mr. Tom Casner said he has been driving a cab here for nine years. He said he was very involved in the last fare increase in 1996. He said since then most of the other Texas cities have increased their fares even further. Also, other cities (such as San Antonio) nm the time meter as well as count the miles, and others have surcharges for extra people and pieces of luggage in the cab. He said they do not agree with the per-person surcharge. Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Casner said other cities raise their rates in different cycles. He suggested that Corpus Christi form an oversight committee that will review the rotes periodically, such as every 18 months, and consider a nickel increase each time to provide for gradual increases. Mayor Neal requested a copy of the ordinance regulating taxi cabs. Council Member Gonzales said an Austin cab driver told him they charge almost $25 for a 10-mile trip. Mr. Longoria said he wished to amend Mr. Kinnison's motion to amend so that the exlxa passenger surcharge apply only to passengers leaving the airport. Mr. Kinnison accepted Mr. Longoria's amendment, adding that that is the current practice. Mr. Colmenero said the Council needs to consider the costs that cab owners have incurred, such as increased fuel costs. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council on Mr. Kinnison's motion to amend. It failed to pass by the following vote: Kilmison, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, and B. Longoria voting "No." Mr. Chapa then polled the Council for their votes on Item 28: 28. ORDINANCE NO. 024305 Amending the Corpus Christi Code of Ordinances, Chapter 57, Vehicles for Hire, Section 57-135, Fares-Amounts, to increase taxicab fares to $1.75 for the first one-fifth mile and $.35 for each succeeding one-fifth mile, and providing for penalties. The foregoing ordinance passed on second reading by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gon?ales, and B. Longoria voting "Aye"; Kinnison, J. Longoria, and Scott voting ~'No." Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 29, Nueces County Rural Fire Prevention District No. 1 (RFD). Deputy City Manager Noe referred to the powerpoint presentation that was made by staff during the public hearing on December 5th at the Northwest Senior Center. He explained that in the northwest area, the Corpus Christi Fire Depamuent (CCFD) has Fire Station No. 2 at 13421 Up River Road and Fire Station No. 12 at 2120 Rand Morgan Road. Both are staffed 24 hours per day 10 Minutes - Regular Council Meeting December 12, 2000 Page 11 and Station 12 has an ambulance that is staffed 24 hours per day; in addition, there is a new brush unit. Mr. Noe said the CCFD standard response is three engine companies, one ladder track, one medic unit and chief officers. He also discussed CCFD staffing and training, as well as the cost of service for each apparatus of about $900,000 and $700,000 for each ambulance. Referring to the boundaries of the RFD, Mr. Noe said 85% of the population of the RFD is inside the city limits and 15% is outside, and 73% of the appraised property values are inside the city and 27% are outside. He said the City of Corpus Christi is currently classified by the Insurance Services Office (ISO) asa 4, and there is no split classification in the city's current rating. He said ISO classifications are based upon the resources of the deparmaent that has the primary legal responsibility for responding to structure fires on initial alarm. In Texas this has generally been interpreted as being the city for all annexed areas. In addition, ISO indicates that the classification for the city would apply to all annexed areas, and no overlap would be considered. Mr. Noe then outlined the Council's alternatives in this matter: do nothing; exclude the indusla'ial districts from the RFD; exclude underdeveloped property with adequate fire response time (i.e., McKinzie Road inward); exclude all property within the city limits; or execute an agreement for the district to partially fund an ambulance for the area. Responding to Council Member Betty Jean Longoria, Mr. Noe said the district's board has not met to discuss the city's proposal. He said they submitted a proposal to the staffto provide about $200,000 for an ambulance, assuming it would remain at Station 2 and operate only in the dislrict. He said there are a number of other concerns staff had with the language in the agreement, including proposals related to the fees to be charged to residents, which he described. City Attomey Bray said the constitutional provision under which emergency services districts (ESD) are created says, among other things, that no tax shall be levied in support of said districts until approved by a vote of the qualified voters residing therein. Consequently, the increase to 10 cents per $100 valuation has not been approved by the voters because it Was not on the November 7, 2000 ballot. Mayor Neal asked if the tax cap is fixed at three cents, and Mr. Bray said it is. Mr. Noe added that staff has prepared documentation for the Council to act on option 2, which is to exclude the industrial districts from the RFD. He said there seems to be consensus with the district's board but the question remains whether the Council wants to take additional action. In reply to Council Member John Longoria, Mr. Bray said the five RFD board members are appointed by the Nueces County Commissioners Court. Mr. Ernest Garza, certified public accountant for the fire disaSct, said it is his understanding that when an RFD is converted to an ESD, there are different requirements for establishing the tax cap as opposed to when a district is initially created. Mr. Bray said the district board would have to seek their own interpretation of the statute. He further described his opinion on this issue in response to Council Member Go,Tales' questions. He added that staff strongly recommends excluding the industrial districts at the minimum. Council Member Garrett said that about 60 or 70 people attended the public hearing held last Minutes - Regular Council Meeting December 12, 2000 Page 12 week, and he did not hear a single person indicate that he did not understand what the election was about, which was to convert the RFD to an ESD. Mrs. Longoria said she was disappointed that the board did net meet to discuss the ambulance issue. She said she has spoken to many citizens in that area who said even though they voted for the conversion, they really did not know what it was about. Mr. Garza replied that they received a response to their proposal fxom city staff late last Friday and the board did not have an opportunity to meet. Responding to Council Member Scott, Mr. Garza said the conversion raises the cap to 10 cents but not the actual rote. He said the ambulance issue arose after the election and if they decide to raise taxes to fund an ambulance, that would require going to a 6 cent rate two years from now. Mr. Scott asked if the RFD board told the public during the election campaign that there would be an improvement in the ISO rating if the issue was approved by the voters. Mr. Jeff Atwood, President of Nueces County Rural Fire Prevention District No. 1, said they did. He said as soon as they receive information about the ISO rating, they will inform the Council. Dr. GoB?ales said he hopes the district board will support the addition of an ambulance. Mr. Atwood said they never included a stipulation about the ambulance being able to respond to any area inside the city limits or Nueces County. He said the issue is where the ambulance will be stationed. Mr. Colmenero urged the entities to work together on that issue. Mr. Longoria commented on the extra tax that the people in that area would have to pay for another ambulance. Mr. Kinnison concurred with Mr. Longoria, adding that the Council has not raised city taxes by 2 cents for over a decade. Mr. Jimmie Till, 6034 Lost Creek, said he did not think it was right for the citizens in the northwest to have to pay double taxes for services. He said the whole city should be taxed rather than just one district. Responding to Mayor Neal, City Secretary Chapa said if the Council votes for Item 29, they will be voting to remove the industrial districts from the Nueces County Rural Fire Prevention District No. 1. He then polled the Council for their votes as follows: 29. RESOLUTION NO. 024292 Resolution removing territories from the Nueces County Rural Fire Prevention District Number 1. The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye." Mrs. Longoria encouraged the district board members to keep the Council informed about their actions. Mayor Neal called for a brief recess. 12 Minutes - Regular Council Meeting December 12, 2000 Page 13 Upon reconvenmg, Mayor Neal called for petitions from the audience. Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton, said Cooper Advertising owns most of the bus benches located in the fights-of-way and so far the city has not told that company to remove their sign~ from the benches. He said the city--not the Regional Transportation Authority--has the mspunsibility of enforcing city ordinances and state laws. Mr. Kinnlson asked Mr. Gordy if he understood that if Cooper Advertising removes their signs from the bus benches, they will also remove the benches themselves. Mr. Gordy replied that Cooper Advertising will store the benches in that position as well as store them somewhere else. Mr. Leon Perez, 904 Buford, expressed concern about what he said were 150-pound garbage containers that will be picked up by automated macks. He said he only has a small amount of garbage each week. Mayor Neal said they are not 150-pound but rather 65-gallun and 95-gallon containers. Mr. Carlos Torres, President of the Corpus Christi Firefighters Association, said the union has the full backing of the State Association of Firefighters and the unions to take the issue ora fire district to the state legislature when it convenes next month. Mayor Ne. at referred to Item 5, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the public hearing on the following zoning case: Case No. 1000-03. Chris Mc(~lanahan: 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 of Old Brownsville Road. City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staffrecommended approval of the "I-2" Light Industral Distrct. No one appeared in opposition to the zoning change. Dr. Gov?ales made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Colmenero, and passed. Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: ORDINANCE NO. 024293 Amending the Zoning Ordinance upon application by Chris McClanahan by changing the zoning map in reference to 5 acres out of Tract 7, William J. Robertson Farm Tracts, t~om "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District to "I-2" Light Industrial District; amending the Comprehensive Plan to account for any deviations from the existing Comprehensive Plan. An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye." Minutes - Regular Council Meeting December 12, 2000 Page 14 Mayor Neal referred to Item 6, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the public hearing on the following zoning case: Case No. 1000-01. Don Hodees: A change of zoning from a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District to "B-4" General Business District on Koolside Addition, Block 6, Lot 221L located on the west side of Airline Road, approximately 150 feet south of Golllhar Road. City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended denial of the "B-4" General Business District. Mr. Gunning gave a computer presentation about this case, describing the applicant's request and the location of the property. He said that in 1990 the city completed a comprehensive analysis and rezoning to "B-1" of the properties fronting the west side of Airline from Lure Avenue to McArdle Road. He said the "B-1" District was amended in 1984 and 1988 to make it more neighborhood friendly by eliminating bars, taverns, and full-service stations. He said staffis recommending that the requested "B-4" be den/ed, and he expressed concern about reintroducing the auto sales use into this area. Mr. Don Hodges, the applicant, said he bought the subject property in good faith and he thought auto-related uses were allowed since his business (Corpus Christi Lock Doc) has been located next to the property for the last nine years. He said prior to purchasing the property, it was not well-maintained and since buying it he has made many improvements to the building and the property. He said he was not seeking the "B--4" zoning but rather a special permit for a small used car lot, for which he would comply with all restrictions imposed. He pointed out that most of his neighbors were not opposed to that use. Dr. GonTales made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Scott, and passed. Responding to Mrs. Longoria, Mr. Gunning said during the Planning Commission hearing, he asked the commissioners if they wished to consider a special permit and, if so, to allow staff two weeks to work with the applicant in developing it. He said he believes the commission relied on staff's presentation regarding the comprehensive rezon/ng that took place in that area in 1990. He added that auto detailing is allowed under "B-I." Mr. Kinn/son said that in the next zoning case, the city is proposing a special permit with 10 conditions, adding that Mr. Hodges operates a clean business. Mr. Gunning said the distinction between the two zoning cases is that in this case it would involve a change in the development policy that the Council adopted in 1990 for that section of Airline Road. Responding to Dr. Gonzales, Mr. Gunning said a special permit for this case would be for the underlying zoning of"B-l" with a special permit for an auto sales use only. He said they would probably limit the number of autos that could be on the lot at any one time, as well as include conditions regarding screening, landscaping and hours of operation. Mayor Neai made a motion to direct staffto work with the applicant in preparing a special permit to bring back to the Council at the January 9, 2001 meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. 14 '1 Minutes - Regular Council Meeting December 12, 2000 Page 15 Kinnison and it passed unanimously. POSTPONED Mayor Neal referred to Item 7, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the public hearing on the following zoning case: Case No. 1000-02. Paul S. Ve~: A changing of zoning fxom an "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District and "B-I" Neighborhood Business District with a "SP" Special Permit to a "B4" General Business District on Lagtma Acres, Block 1, Lots 11 and 12, located on the southeast comer of Home Road and Teresa Street. City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended denial of the "B-4" District and in lieu thereof, approval of a Special Permit for expanded building and auto repair use on Lot 12, subject to a site plan and ton (10) conditions. He added that the applicant concurs with the recommendation. No members of the public expressed opposition to the request. Dr. Gon?ales made a motion to close the public hearing, which was seconded and passed. Mr. Longoria said there has been a problem with this location for some time. Mr. Gunning said the applicant requested "B-4" zoning for two lots he owns at Teresa Street and Home Road. He said Lot 12 is occupied by an auto repair service which includes a building that was illegally expanded in 1996. He said the applicant has also been illegally storing vehicles on Lot 11. He said since the applicant initiated the rezoning request, he has removed all of the vehicles fi:om Lot 11 and the outside storage fi:om the back of Lot 12. He added that currently three violations exist on Lots 11 and 12 and they can be resolved either through replatting, rezoning or through a variance f~om the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Mr. Longoria said some of the conditions are very strong and he said Mr. Vera has not complied with previous restrictions and violated other requirements on that property. He asked what remedy the neighbors have. Mr. Gunning said he looked at the use of the property and its longtime existence in the neighborhood, and tried to find a way to make it more acceptable to the neighbors. Mrs. Longoria said Mr. Vera's neighbors have complained about his business and he has violated regulations, but she will yield to what Mr. Longoria wishes to do since the property is located in his Council district. Mr. Longoria asked Mr. Vera to address the Council. Mr. Vera stated that he runs a clean business, but Mr. Longoria said his neighbors do not think so. He added that Mr. Vera should take advantage ofth/s opportunity to improve his business. Mr. Colmenero concurred. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting December 12, 2000 Page 16 Dr. Oonzales said small businesses are important to that commumty. Mr. Chapa polled the Council: 7. ORDiNANCE NO. 024294 Amending the Zoning Ordinance upon application by Paul S. Vera by changing the zoning map in reference to Lot 12, Block 1, Laguna Acres (currently zoned "B-I" Neighborhood Business District) by granting a Special Permit for an automotive repair facility, subject to a site plan and ten (10) conditions; mending the Comprehensive Plan to account for any deviations fi-om the existing Comprehensive Plan. An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Go~?ales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Cooper absent. Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 30, 2000 bond election. There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 30. RESOLUTION NO. 024306 Resolution expressing official intent to reimburse costs of the Bond 2000 project. The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Neai, Colmanero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinrdson, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye." Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 31, participation by small contractors in bond projects. Responding to Council Member Gon?~les, Mr. Noe said the "bond program" referred to in the resolution covers all the items approved by the voters in the November 7th election. Council Member John Longoria referred to a copy of proposed amendments to the resolution which includes the words "local and small" contractors throughout the resolution and the words "as recommended by the City Major Construction Projects Advisory Panel" at the end of the resolution. He made a motion to amend Item 31 to reflect those changes, seconded by Council Member Colmenero. Mr. Bray pointed out that state bidding law says a city cannot have any tangible preference for local contractors; it is a matter of selecting the lowest responsible bidder in accordance with bid processes. He said in defining bid specifications, a city can enhance the oppommities for small contractors to be able to successfully bid on jobs. He said to the extent that small contractors may more often be local contractors, then those issues dovetail. He said this is direction to the staff to do as much as they can within the limits of the law. Mayor Neal called for a voice vote on the motion to amend, and it passed unanimously. He then called for public comment. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting December 12, 2000 Page 13 Upon reconvening, Mayor Neal called for petitions from the audience. Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton, said Cooper Advertising owns most of the bus benches located in the rights-of-way and so far the city has not told that company to remove their signs fi:om the benches. He said the city--not the Regional Transportation Authority--has the responsibility of enforcing city ordinances and state laws. Mr. Kinnlson asked Mr. Gordy if he understood that if Cooper Advertising removes their signs from the bus benches, they will also remove the benches themselves. Mr. Gordy replied that Cooper Advertising will store the benches in that position as well as store them somewhere else. Mr. Leon Perez, 904 Buford, expressed concern about what he said were 150-pound garbage col~tainers that will be picked up by automated trucks. He said he only has a small mount of garbage each week. Mayor Neal said they are not 150-pound but rather 65-gallon and 95-gallon containers. Mr. Carlos Torres, President of the Corpus Christi Firefighters Association, said the union has the full backing of the State Association of Firefighters and the unions to take the issue of a fire district to the state legislature when it convenes next month. Mayor Neal referred to Item 5, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the public hearing on the following zoning case: Case No. 1000-03. Chris McClanahax~: A change of zoning from an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling Distrct to an "I-2" Light Industral Distrct 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 of Old Brownsville Road. City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended approval of the "I-2" Light Industral District. No one appeared in opposition to the zoning change. Dr. Gon?ales made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Colmenero, and passed. Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: ORDINANCE NO. 024293 Amending the Zoning Ordinance upon application by Chris McClanahan by changing the zoning map in reference to 5 acres out of Tract 7, William J. Robertson Farm Tracts, from "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District to "I-2" Light Industrial District; amending the Comprehensive Plan to account for any deviations from the existing Comprehensive Plan.

Minutes - Regular Council Meeting December 12, 2000 Page 14 Mayor Neal referred to Item 6, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the public hearing on the following zoning case: ¢a~¢ NO. 1000-01. Don Hodges: A change of zoning fi:om a "B-1" Neighborhood Business Dislrict to "B4" General Business District on Koolside Addition, Block 6, Lot 22R, located on the west side of Airline Road, approximately 150 feet south of Golllhar Road. City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended denial of the "B-4" General Business District. Mr. Gunning gave a computer presentation about this case, describing the applicant's request and the location of the property. He said that in 1990 the city completed a comprehensive analysis and rezoning to "B-I" of the properties fi:onting the west side of Airline from Lure Avenue to McArdle Road. He said the "B-1" District was amended in 1984 and 1988 to make it more neighborhood friendly by eliminating bars, taverns, and full-service stations. He said staffis recommending that the requested "B4" be denied, and he expressed concern about reintroducing the auto sales use into this area. Mr. Don Hodges, the applicant, said he bought the subject property in good faith and he thought auto-related uses were allowed since his business (Corpus Christi Lock Doc) has been located next to the property for the last nine years. He said prior to purchasing the property, it was not well-maintained and since buying it he has made many improvements to the building and the property. He said he was not seeking the "B4" zoning but rather a special permit for a small used car lot, for which he would comply with ail restrictions imposed. He pointed out that most of his neighbors were not opposed to that use. Dr. Gonzales made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Scott, and passed. Responding to Mrs. Longoria, Mr. Gunning said during the Planning Commission hearing, he asked the commissioners if they wished to consider a special permit and, if so, to allow staff two weeks to work with the applicant in developing it. He said he believes the commission relied on staff's presentation regarding the comprehensive rezoning that took place in that area in 1990. He added that auto detailing is allowed under "B-I." Mr. Kiunison said that in the next zoning case, the city is proposing a special permit with 10 conditions, adding that Mr. Hodges operates a clean business.

ISSUES: The Council has expressed concern about the cost of operating the City's Water and Wastewater Departments and the corresponding need to raise water and wastewater rates for our customers. Private Corporations have indicated that they could operate the City's Water and Wastewater operations at a lower cost than the City operates them. · The Departments have made significant progress in reducing O&M costs and are prepared to continue the Re-engineering effort. PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: In October 1999, the Council authorized the Water and Wastewater Departments to initiate a Re-engineering effort to reduce their operating costs followed by a decision on developing an RFP to contract out water and wastewater plant operations.. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends City Council permit the Water and Wastewater Departments to continue the Re-engineering efforts. Ronal~¢ Assistant City Manager 19 3 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM AGENDA ITEM: December 15, 2000 Presentation on the Directed Police Patrol Program This presentation will consist of a short project update on the Directed Patrol program along with a 5-minute video highlighting several recent projects. ISSUE: The Directed Patrol Program is a Commllllity Pohcing imtiative, funded by the Crime Control and Prevention District, which provides eight (8) officers to coord/nate with the community on neighborhood problems through Citizen Advisory Councils. There are 17 Citizen Advisory Councils, which are based on the geographic boundaries of Corpus Christi area Middle Schools. Commander Bryan P. Smith Cdme Control & Prevention District Coordinator 21 / 4 crrY COUNCIl, AGENDA MEMORANDUM December 15, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: Presentation on City's Health Insurance Program. ISSUE: In an effort to control costs, the City employed an actuary, Mr. Craig Rennpage of HCC, to evaluate the City's health care program and make funding recommendations. Alditionally, the City implemented several cost savings programs on November 1, 2000 and applied these savings to the acmary's cost and rate projections. City Staff will present the actuary's findings, historical information, projected savings and rate information, and recommendations on certain program changes for Council's consideration. No action will be required at this time. However, program direction will be recommended by Staffas noted in the presentation material. REQUIRED COUNCEL ACTION: None at this time. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City separate the retirees from the active employee population; develop a retiree plan, "Citicare-Retirees," for implementation on March 1, 2001; continue to monitor the current program and evaluate plan changes, maintain current premiums in Citieare and Citicare Q- Plus and Public Safety - Citicare; and examine a combination of premium and program changes for Fire employees effective March 1, 2001. Attachments: Background Information Presentation 23 BACKGROUND INFORMATION In 1998, the City decided to become self-insured in its health insurance program to reduce costs and maintain the program more efficiently. Since that time, the program has not proven self-supporting. Therefore, the City has implemented cost savings measures on November 1, 2000 and is examining several other options. Cost Savings Measures Pre-certification: Prior to November, 2000, only in-patient hospital admissions required pre- certification. Now, pre-certification has been expanded to include out-patient, maternity, psychiatric, chemical dependency, and emergency room within 48 hours of admittance admissions; speech and physical therapy; durable medical equipment in excess of $500; and M2RI's CT scans. ~ll~,l~lXl~: The City is below average in the number of hospitalizations for a group our size, but the number of hospital days is longer than average. This may result from poor planning of after- hospital care and doctors not releasing patients on a timely basis. Discharge planning will ensure after-hospital care has been prearranged and doctors will release patients during the week instead of leaving patients in the hospital through the weekend. D' i r i ' : Diabetes is a major medical problem for many City employees and/or their dependents. In-patient hospital care is costly for diabetes and its complications. Implementation of this aggressive and comprehensive diabetes program will ensure diabetics are aware of their medical problem as well as provide extensive education on diabetes. Pharmaceutical: Consultec, current manager for the pharmacy network, agreed to match the lower bid received from Walgreen Drug Stores. Implementation of the above measures did not require a plan amendment since they involve only the administration and the plan grants authority to review all procedures for medical necessity. Actuarial Study In October, 2000, an actuaxb', Craig Rennpage of HCC Employee Benefits, Inc., completed an analysis of the City's existing medical funding rates for the fiscal year beginning August 1, 2000. Mr. Rennpage pointed out that each of the plans (excluding Citicare Q-Plus) is underfunded when active and retirees are combined. He determined that an overall premium increase of 14.13 percent for each of the four plans. He also indicated that, if'participants were separated (active employees and retirees), premium increases of 3.75 percent for active employees and 99.89 percent for retirees were required. This points out that current funding for retirees, particularly those 65 and under, is not sufficient to cover health care costs. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the City separate the retirees from the active employee population; develop a retiree plan, "Citicare-Retirees," for implementation on March 1, 2001; continue to monitor the current program and evaluate plan changes, maintain current premiums in Citicare and Citicare Q- Plus and Public Safety - Citicare; and examine a combination of premium and program changes for Fire employees effective March 1,2001. 24 CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI Administrative Analysis Committee Health Insurance Program December 19, 2000 N J .,j :Fiscal Year 2000-2001 First Quarter Financial Position Citicare Plus 3 August September October Total 1999 Revenue $4,608 $6,087 $5,778 $16,473 Expenditures $(4,165) $(2,007) $(2,916) $(9,088) Total $443 $4,080 $2,862 $7,385 2000 Revenues $5,129 $5,511 $5,417 $16,057 Expenditures $(1,207) $(3,887) $(787) $(5,881) Total $ 3,922 $1,624 $4,630 $10,170 3 9 Fiscal Year 2000-2001 First Quarter Financial Position Citicare Fire EI August September October Total 1999 Revenue $126,406 $146,860 $148,448 $421,714 Expenditures $(92,986) $(84,364) $(91,110) $(268,460) Total $33,420 $62,496 $57,338 $153,254 2000 Revenues $142,796 $145,700 $146,424 $434,920 Expenditures $(145,644) $(104,367) $(133,353) $(383,364) Total $(2,848) $41,333 $13,071 $51,556 EI J 19 Fiscal Year 2000-2001 First Quarter Financial Position Public Safety - Citicare RM August September October Total 1999 Revenue $155,179 $249,000 $188,382 $592,561 Expenditures $(192,462) $(135,672) $(296,677) $(624,811) Total $(37,283) $113,328 $(108,295) $(32,250) 2000 Revenues $195,812 $202,327 $199,295 $597,434 Expenditures $(224,122) $(167,999) $(237,326) $(629,447) Total $(28,310) $34,328 $(38,031) $(32,013) RM w 0 City of Corpus Christi Monthly Health Premiums As of August 1, 2000 6 Public Safety Citicare Employee Ci Citicare-Basic (Dependent Plan) Emplo tie Cit Citicare Citicare-Plus CIticare-Fire T of Coverage Employee CI Employee CI Employee Cil $0,00 ------ - WA - - ._WA -_ - Employee Onl $21.66 $172.66 $21123 $172.66 $12.46 $148.06 $216.62 ----- Employee/Spouse $127.04 5278.05 $576.10 $278.05 $109.44 $245_05 $131,11 $104.35 _$212.12 $347.73 $320.97 $428.74 $21.08 -$-16.77 _$3410 $105.39 $83.83 $170.56 $501.89 $225,20 $304.89 oldren Emplyee/Chi $105.49 $256.49 $256.49 $89,59 Employee/Family $192.22 $343.22 $801.39 $343.22 $169.301 Note on "E to a Onl Premium Contribution: --e--�------------'- ----' 1.

RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the motion as presented. ,~g~l R. Escobar, P. E. Director of Engineering Services Director of Risk Management ADDITIONAL SUPPORT MATERIAL Exhibit A. Background Information Exhibit B. Location Map 8] AGENDA MEMORANDUM BACKGROUND INFORMATION SUBJECT: Crockett Oil Gasateria/LPST 111219 - 1823 Chaparral (Project No. 0110 Amendment No. 3 BACKGROUND: The former Crockett Oil Gasateria was acquired by the City and ~s located at 1823 Chaparral Street. The site is now occupied by the Asian Cultures Museum and Education Center. The City was notified by ,TNRCC in 1998 that there had never been official site closure for a prior leaking petroleum storage tank (LPST) event at the site. Applied Earth Sciences (AES) was requested to investigate and determine the status of the site. It was determined that TNRCC had overlooked the site and not included it on the list during previous LPST notifications. The event had occurred several years ago and no longer posed any environmental or other risk. TNRCC regulations require a Risk Based Assessment (RBA) be completed to officially close the site. All activities associated by LPST sites are submitted it to TNRCC for pre- approval of the work plan and proposed and fee. During the course of the assessment an underground tank was discovered and removed. That tank had been abandoned in place and filled with grout. The tank was a small hydraulic fluid tank apparently used with the vehicle lift at the old gas station. The City has now completed all activities requested by TNRCC associated with the site. TNRCC has approved plugging and abandonment of the monitor wells. Once this has been accomplished a final site closure report will be submitted to TNRCC. PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION: 1. ~ - Award of contract to Applied Earth Sciences in the amount of $8,753 for a risk based assessment of the former Crockett Oil Gasateda at 1823 Chaparral Street. 2.

OVERVIEW: Background: The Savage Lane Pumping Plant consists of a 10 million gallon and a 16 million gallon concrete clearwell, a pump station and related components. The 10 million gallon clearwell has been out of service for more than 15 years due to poor structural condition. The Savage Lane Pumping Plant is a critical component of the water distribution system, providing pressure to the downtown area, local hospitals and surrounding refineries. The plant was constructed more than 50 years ago. The project was approved by Council as part of the FY99-00 Capital Budget. The goal of this project is to: replace the existing pumping plant with a new facility located at a new site in the vicinity of the original pumping plant; improve the water distribution system reliability and performance in the service area of the existing facility; and demolish an existing 10 million gallon clearwell that is currently out of service. Tract: The subject tract is located on Navigation Boulevard between State Highway 44 and Cantwell Drive. This is a fee simple acquisition of 9.853 acres of 92 Exhibit A Page 1 of 2 vacant land south of and adjacent to the existing Savage Lane Pumping Plant. This tract is being acquired for the construction of a new pumping plant and water storage structures. City staff's original settlement offer of $80,000 was rejected and condemnation was recommended by staff. Council approved condemnation proceedings on May 9, 2000 and procedures were initiated. While staff was awaiting a condemnation headng date, new market data was acquired. A second appraiser was selected to produce an updated land appraisal. The subsequent appraisal resulted in a higher appraised value of $123,000. Negotiations were resumed with the owner and an administrative settlement of $120,000 was agreed upon by both parties. A Phase I Environmental Assessment was completed for the property with no indication of adverse environmental conditions. The results indicate no contamination. This is the only parcel involved for this project. Closing for the parcel will be at San Jacinto Title Company. FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS: Future Council actions will include: · Award of a construction contract for a new pumping plant and water storage structures; and · Award of materials inspection and testing contract. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the motion as presented. 93 SITE LOCA770N 5. H. 44 SITE LOCATION IVIAP NOT TO TEXAS - MEXICAN RAILWAY HIGHWAY 44 EXISTING SAVAGE LANE PUMPING PLANT AC~IES ST.

Motion approving the application from the Buccaneer Commission, Inc., to temporarily close the southbound leg of Shoreline Boulevard, between Interstate 37 and Peoples Street, beginning 5:00 a.m. December 26, 2000 and ending 12:00 midnight January 3, 2001, to conduct the "Millennium Carnival" festivities.

ISSUE: The Buccaneer Commission Inc., as part of the Mayor's Millennium Celebration Committee, proposes to stage a carnival on southbound Shoreline Boulevard between Interstate 37 and Peoples Street, as part of the millennium celebration. REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Street closing permits for large public events require City Council approval. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the motion as presented. '_A~F~¢I R. Escobar, P.E. D~rector of Engineering Services Marco A. Cisneros Director of Park and Recreation Additional Support Material 1. Background Information 2. Location Map 3. Street Closing Application Millennium Camival Street Closings Page 1 of 2 97 AGENDA MEMORANDUM Additional Background Information BACKGROUND: Background Information: The Buccaneer Commission Inc., the Omni Bayfront Hotel, the Omni Marina Hotel and the Mayor's Millennium Celebration Committee have joined forces to celebrate the coming of the new millennium with a number of festivities along Shoreline Boulevard, including a Carnival and plans for a fireworks display. Mr. Joe Ochoa, Executive Director of the Buccaneer Commission, Inc., has requested the temporary street closure for the Millennium Carnival event. The Millennium Carnival festivities will begin on December 28, 2000 and will last through January 1,2001, including the planned fireworks displays on December 31,2000. Other activities will include family oriented games and the sale of various foods and beverages. The Buccaneer Commission, Inc., has agreed to comply with the applicable City Code requirements for this type of event and has received approval from 100% of all property owners abutting the streets sections requested for temporary closure. The Buccaneer Commission has worked with the Omni Hotels and other affected Bayfront hoteliers and the One Shoreline Plaza management to facilitate a workable solution to the planned millennium celebration. Tenants and guests of these facilities will have access to off-street parking facilities via Water Street. The Buccaneer Commission has planned a $1.00 admittance fee for the general public. This admittance fee is needed to defray the cost of commercial liability insurance. Prior Council Action: Last year, the City Council previously approved the closure of Shoreline Boulevard, for the Mayor's Millennium Celebration. Last year's event required the closure of Shoreline Boulevard south of Interstate 37 along the same limits as this year's planned event. Reimbursement to the City_: The cost of last year's Millennium celebration was restricted primarily to traffic control implementation and maintenance. Barricading and signage for traffic control was contracted (due to the need to reserve the City's own traffic control devices for the Y2K contingency) and totaled $5,808.00. The City and Buccaneer Commission shared this cost. The Police Department's overtime expenses cost an additional $1,000 for traffic direction during and following the fireworks display. Therefore, the City's total contribution for last year's event was approximately $3,900.00. It is expected that this year's cost to the City will be significantly less since the City will be installing its own traffic controls and will bear this full expense. The Police Department's expense for traffic direction would total the same $1,000 if the firework's display is held. The Buccaneer Commission is bearing the full carnival cost. Street Closings and Detours: A highly controlled traffic control plan will be provided to detour motorists onto Water Street to by-pass the festival area and to access the rear of properties fronting Shoreline Boulevard. Last year's traffic controls for this event, including detour signs, provided sufficient information and detour control of motorists using City streets in the vicinity of the event's street closings.

The celebration is essemially the same as last year. We propose to stage the carnival once again on Southbound Shoreline from Interstate Highway 37 to Peoples St. All carnival rides will be set up in the street with the medians utilized as comfort zones for carnival visitors. The entire area including the medians will be fenced in. Fencing in of the medians will be an added benefit to the city as it will prevent cars from being parked on the grass. In response to city concerns regarding the length of time required for street closure, we plan a 2 day set up of the carnival beginning early morning (5:00 AM) on Tuesday, Dec. 26. The carnival will officially open on Thursday, Dec 28th and run through midnight, Monday, Jan. 1st. Immediately following the midrdght closing, the carnival will begin to tear down and will be completely removed by midnight, Wed., Jan 3rd. We have spoken with the carnival contractor and he has assured us he will remove the carnival as quickly as possible. Peoples St. will remain open for traffic flow to the T-Heads and North bound Shoreline. We have already applied for and received the necessary permits from the Parks and Recreation Dept. Attached are copies of our insurance which have already been received at the Parks and Recreation Dept. We are in the process of meeting with Capt. Wayne Tisdale of the Police Dept. once he is back in the office. lOO BUC DAYS INTERNATIONAL PINNACLE AWARDS WINNER www.buccaneer.org We greatly appreciate your prompt attemion to this request.

FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS: 1. Approval of land purchases which exceed $15,000. 2. Approval for payment of any Special Commissioner's Awards resulting from Condemnation proceedings. OVERVIEW: Back_around: When Corpus Chdsti State University became part of the Texas A&M University (TAMU) system, the need to upgrade the access to the campus became apparent. Through the efforts of a number of government and business leaders, the route from South Padre Island Drive (SPID) to the TAMU-CC campus (Ennis Joslin Road, Alameda Street and Ocean Drive) was designated State Spur 3. The Texas Dept. of Transportation (TxDOT) was authorized to proceed with the preparation of plans and specifications for the project. In November, 1993, TxDOT and the City executed an agreement whereby the City took responsibility for acquisition of right-of-way (ROW), relocation of conflicting utilities, and mitigation of environmental concerns. The State was responsible for preparation of the required maps and descriptions necessary to acquire the ROW, preparation of the plans and specs for construction, and administering the construction contract. Water, sewer, gas, electrical and telephone lines have been installed within a portion of the ROW in order to upgrade utility service to the University in anticipation of future expansion. Construction of the Phase 1 project improvements (Ocean Drive between the Alameda/Ocean Drive intersection and TAMU-CC) have been completed. Construction of the Phase 2 improvements are now in progress. Parcel Information: The subject parcel is located on Ennis Joslin Road south of Carson Street. It is located on the water side of Ennis Joslin Road. This parcel, Pamel No. 41, is a fee simple acquisition containing 2,245.89 square feet of vacant land off the front of the property. This parcel is being acquired for the Spur 3, Phase 2 street improvements and utility relocations. Staff's offer of $$6,064 was rejected and negotiations reached an impasse. In order to move forward with the project, this parcel should be acquired through the condemnation process. A title company is not involved in this acquisition by condemnation.

In November, 1993, TxDOT and the City executed an agreement whereby the City took responsibility for acquisition of right-of-way (ROW), relocation of conflicting utilities, and mitigation of environmental concerns. The State was responsible for preparation of the required maps and descriptions necessary to acquire the ROW, preparation of the plans and specs for construction, and administering the construction contract. Water, sewer, gas, electrical and telephone lines have been installed within a portion of the ROW in order to upgrade utility service to the University in anticipation of future expansion. Construction of the Phase 1 project improvements (Ocean Drive between the Alameda/Ocean Drive intersection and TAMU-CC) have been completed. Construction of the Phase 2 improvements are now in progress. Parcel Information: The subject parcel is located on Ennis Joslin Road, south of Carson Street. It is located on the water side of Ennis Joslin Road. Acquisition of Parcel No. 40 involves fee simple acquisition of 1,170.02 square feet of vacant land off the front of the property. This parcel is being acquired for the Spur 3, Phase 2 street improvements and utility relocations. StafFs offer of $3,160 was rejected and negotiations reached an impasse. In order to move forward with the project, this parcel should be acquired through the condemnation process. A title company is not involved in this acquisition by condemnation.

ISSUE: Central Power and Light Company's existing franchise, which was granted in 1971 and amended in 1988, expires December 31, 2000. It authorizes use of the public ways for electric distribution facilities in return for a franchise fee of 4% of gross receipts. Effective January 1, 2002, Senate Bill 7, the electric deregulation bill passed by the Texas Legislature in 1999, changes the methodology by which cities charge for use of their public ways by electric utilities. The formula establishes a charge per kilowatt hour based on 1998 revenues. The charge will be applied to Kwh used in any particular year and was designed to make deregulation revenue neutral for cities. Because of the Senate Bill 7 change, staffis recommending a one-year extension of CPL's present franchise to fill the interim between the expiration of the present franchise and the effective date of the Senate Bill 7 provision. Over the next year, a new, long-term franchise will be negotiated. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of ordinance as submitted.

Buccaneer Little League has asked the Ddscoll Foundation for the use of the field for its baseball program. The Ddscoll Foundation is willing to allow the little league use of their field; however, they do not want to be involved in the day-to-day management of the lease with the league. The Driscoll Foundation has agreed to lease the field to the City if the City agrees to assume the responsibility of managing the lease with Buccaneer Little League. If not, the baseball league will not have a place to play. Because of the exposure of the Foundation, the Foundation has asked the City to assume the role of landlord for their property. Since the City has experience in leasing ballflelds to other leagues, the City has agreed to help Buccaneer Little League by leasing the Clara Driscoll Field from the Foundation and subleasing it to Buccaneer Little League. Buccaneer Little League is made up of youth from the City's Westside. Previously, the Driscoll Foundation had a lease with Westside Little League. That little league is now defunct and has reorganized as Buccaneer Little League with new officers. The Foundation had a lease with Westside Little League but when the league had problems, the Foundation decided that they lacked the experience to manage the lease. In order to continue to provide the children in the area with organized sports activities, a group of volunteers formed Buccaneer Little League and leased the Driscoll Foundation property on a short term basis. They are now interested in a long term lease for their youth sports activities. 176 1 AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER, OR HIS DESIGNEE, TO EXECUTE A FIFTEEN YEAR LEASE AGREEMENT WITH BUCCANEER LITTLE LEAGUE TO SUBLEASE THE CLARA DRISCOLL FIELD FROM THE CITY AND IN CONSIDERATION OF BUCCA/~.

Ld:scobar, P.E. Director of Engineering Services Attachments: Exhibit A - Background Information Exhibit B - Site Map Exhibit C - Ordinance 179 AGENDA MEMORANDUM ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION PURPOSE OF CLOSUREAND BACKGROUND: On behalf of Kapavik Builders, Inc., David Kapavik is requesting the closure and abandonment of a 240-square foot (2' wide x120' long) portion of a 10-foot wide utility easement. The easement to be closed is located in Zone R-lB within the city limits of Corpus Christi. Mr. David Kapavik owns Lots 5&6, Block 3, South Sea Islands, Unit 1 Subdivision, all which embrace the portion of utility easement proposed for closure. Mr. Kapavik has to adjust the common lot line of Lots 5&6 by 0.39' to correct a zoning violation. A minimum 5' setback is required, and owner has an existing 4.61' setback. Mr. Kapavik is proposing to dedicate an additional 240-square foot utility easement in Lot 6, Block 3, South Sea Islands, Unit 1, to off-set the encroachment within Lot 5, Block 3. All public and franchised utilities were contacted. No objections were received from the public and franchised utilities to the proposed closure. Staff recommends that payment of the fair market value for the 240-square foot portion easement closure be waived because property owner will be dedicating a utility easement of equal or greater value. The owner has been advised of and concurs with the conditions of the easement closure. EXHIBIT A 180 FROM: 'Angel R.

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 H:"? LN-DIR\S H A RE D\WORD\COM p-PLA\NORTH WES~AG D~ ~-~ 9-00 DOC Northwest Area Development Plan Agenda Memorandum December 19, 2000 Page 2 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. SUMMARY OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS: · Future Land Use Plan recommendations: ,/ Future residential expansion south of Northwest Boulevard (F.M. 624). ,"' Future residential expansion south of Tuloso Midway High School to S.H. 44. '/ Future low density residential expansion west of County Road 73. Commercial use expansion along Northwest Boulevard and U.S. 77. Buffering of existing and future residential uses adjacent to heavy industrial areas. · Transportation Plan recommendations for long range improvements to: Address traffic congestion on Northwest Boulevard by: · Designation of Northwest Boulevard as an arterial street with six traffic lanes and a landscaped median. · Designation of County Road 52 as an arterial street with four traffic lanes and a landscaped median. · Creation of a collector street connection between U.S. 77 and River East Drive, immediately south of Wal-Mart and the hospital. Create a four-lane collector street west of and parallel to U.S. 77 between the proposed collector south of Wal-Mart and County Road 46. '/ Incorporate the South Loop Expressway, endorsed by City Council in 1999.

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 Mims 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 form 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 gnide lbr thture zoning, fuix~re 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 least txvo (2) major issues addressed by the plan. The primary issue is furore 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 Northxvest Boulevard (F.M. 624). From 1995 through 2000, traffic volume increases per year were the highest in the ciD', 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 constracted to accommodate future traffic as the Northwest area develops. 188 'I Northwest Area Development Plan Agenda Memorandum December 19, 2000 Page 6 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 mnoffin the western portion of the Northxvest 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 intematinnal trade traffic. The current plan illustrates residential development along U.S. 77. CommerciaI development is recommended along FM 624. Typical residential 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 netxvork is used to defme what the city, needs during the development process for private land 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 recommends 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 recommends 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 arteriaI 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 prewous 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 guner, 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 ~vest then northward and connecting with Wildcat Drive bet~veen the Hospital and the medical clinic. He stated that it would be difficult to make this connection 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 northxvard. 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 ~vith 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 189 Northwest Area Development Plan Agenda Memorandum December 19, 2000 Page 7 Corridor. The proposed Joe Fulton Corr/dor 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 congest/on 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 xvas 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. . C°mmissinner Amsler expressed concern with allowing development of one residence per five (5) acres m 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 pem~it 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. H~e 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 Conwnission 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 Poiuts area. Extending the collector south of the River Ridge Subdivision was also discussed but ruled 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 directmn 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. Seller 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 with 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 xvould assist during 190 1 1 Northwest Area Development Plan Agenda Memorandum December 19, 2000 Page 8 evacuations, but does not address traffic issues in the Northwest area. Council Member Longoria stated that staff should fmd ways to direct traffic southward as capacity exists to handle traffic on State Highway 44. Mr. Seller stated that the t/me 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 Commissioner 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 me, 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 Cormmssioner 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 ne~v state law which would give the city greater control over requiring that the planing 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-McGIoin 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. Comrmssioner 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 categorv. Staff attempted to match the land use with the available zoning district. Mr. Gunning clarified that there is no zoning outside the city limits; ho~vever. 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. 191 Northwest Area Development Plan Agenda Memorandum December 19, 2000 Page 9 Commissioner 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 Perrmt 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. Commissioner 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. Comrmssioner Sween-McGloin stated that the Coastal Bend Land Trast, 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 Cormmssion to tmderstand what the land trust is and what is available. Vice Chairman Mims 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 tam from the Wal-Mart parking lot. Public hearing was closed. In response to Commissioner 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 Mires 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 concreted. She stated that the Platting Ordinance needs to be rewritten to address development providing as many opportunities for residents to traverse through 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 Conm~ission be sent to the City Council and County Conmtissioners addressing Commission concerns with County Road 52. 192 Northwest Area Development Plan Agenda Memorandum December 19, 2000 Page I0 ATTACHMENT B: EXCERPTS OF TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MINUTES (Meeting of September 25, 2000) TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE MINUTES ClifMoss Orlando Noyola Members Present Anthony Alej andro Robbie Foster Don Davenport Karla Bennett ADVISORY Members Absent Stuart Sher Israel Ybarra VIII. 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 i988 by City Council. As part of the update process this plan area is reconm~ended to expand to include what is sometime referred to as the Bluntzer Area and the western edge of the Port/AirportJViolet 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 lanes 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 ne~v roadxvay 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 conmaents to the Planning Commission. 193 Northwest Area Development Plan Agenda Memorandum December I9, 2000 Page 11 Mr. Seiler 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. Gurmmg further stated that all the entities are moving to an era of regional planning. Motion made by Mr. Moss, seconded by Mr. Davenport that Committee recommends that this plan be adopted relating to transportation issues. Motion passed. 194 Northwest Area Development Plan Agenda Memorandum December 19, 2000 Page 12 ATTACHMENT C: NORTHWEST PLANNING GROUP AND THE NORTHWEST BUSINESS ASSOCIATION MEETINGS Staffmet with the Northwest Plasming Group on three occasions. The group is composed of interested citizens and business leaders who had already been meeting with City Officials concerning Northwest issues. MEETING DATES September 7, 2000 - Northwest Planning Group September 15, 2000 - Northwest Planning Group October 12, 2000 - Northwest Business Association Meeting PARTICIPANTS Northwest Planning Committee: Dr. Steve Waddell, Tuloso-Midway Independent School District Superintendent; Davie Cissna, Northwest Business Association; Carole Wilkinson; Bert Quintanilla, Chief of Staff for State Representative Jaime Capelo; William Kelly, Planning Commission. City Staff: Michael Gunning, Director of Planning; David Seiler, City Traffic Engineer; Bob Payne, Senior Planner; Mic Raasch, City Planner; and Tony Cisneros, Director of Park and Recreation. 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 V2 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 l-V2 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/commemial 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 195 Northwest Area Development Plan Agenda Memorandum December 19, 2000 Page I3 projection of the North-South mnway and the Southeast-Northwest runway 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 carded 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 1I-I-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-1 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.

Adoption of the Plan will supersede and rescind any prior adopted Area Development Plans for these 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 in the implementation of 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 204 Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 2 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 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 (ET J) 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. ~Department of Planning 205 Department of Planning Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 3 Figure 1 - Northwest Plan Study Area Boundary 206 l 1 Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 4 Figure 2 - Northwest Acreage Northwest Acreage 60,000 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 i 0,900 Northwest ICL Northwest ETJ Implementation of the Plan and its policies will provide for the health, safety and welfare of the Northwest community. The Plan addresses land use and development issues such as the zoning and platting of properties, Capital Improvement Programs, and other specific concerns. In addition, coordination of the Capital Improvements Program with the Northwest Area Development Plan, will result in 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. Since 1990 the Figure 3 - Population Projections Northwest Population Projections I '~-- Northwest lC L -~-- Northwest ETJ 60,000 50,000 40.000 30,000 o 20.000 10,000 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 Department of Planning 2O7 Department of Planning Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 5 one of the fastest growing areas in the City (See Figure 3 and Table 1). Table 1 - Population Projections - Inside City Limits (ICL) and the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ET J) Plan Area 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 2040 Northwest ICL 20,863 26 908 33,228 39,980 46,251 51,959 NorthwestETJ 4,069 5,022 6,380 8,225 10,709 14,052 Total 24,932 31,930 39,609 48,205 56,960 66,011 , Existing land uses are illustrated in Table 2 and a comparison of existing land uses for 1990 vs the year 2000 is shown in Table 3 (Page 9). Table 2 - Northwest Existin Land Use Low Density Residential Medium Density Residential Commercial Industrial Public/Semi Public Parks Vacant Total Land Use for the Year 2000 Acreage Percentage 2,650 4.02% 145 0.22 323 0.49 670 1.02 2,633 4.00 449 0.68 58,938 89.56 65,809 100.00% 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 208 Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 6 critical problem is a high priority of all responsible governmental entities including Nueces County, TxDOT, and the City of Corpu.s Christi. FIGURE 4 - EX/STING LAND USE MAP Department of Planning 209 Department of Planning Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 7 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) 210 1 1 Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 8 FIGURE 5 - WETLANDS IN THE WESTERN PART (BLUNTZER) OF THE NORTHWEST PLAN AREA 9epartment of Planning 211 Department of Planning a) b) Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 9 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 restrictions. 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, 212 Draf~ Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 10 ranching, and large lot residential activities in a rural setting within the 100-year flood plain (including a portion of the Drinking Water Watershed). Ne~ 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 1 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.

Department of Planning 217 e) d) e) Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 13 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. 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 commemial 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. 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 are equivalent to the "AB" Professional Office and the "B-IA" 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. 218 I, 1 Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 14 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.) fi.om 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 fi.om higher density commercial uses at the intersections with medium density residential, office or light commemial 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 commercial developments should not exceed a depth of 300 to 500 feet. t) 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 with the following guidelines. l_.l 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. Department of Planning 219 Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 15 2~ Create a minimum 1,000' light industrial land use buffer on the south, west, and east sides of Industrial District #2. 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 #2 provides a significant benefit over Industrial District #1 (the Port/ship channel area) as District #2 contains large spacious sites that are not available in District #I. On the north side of Industrial District #2, industry has purchased 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 220 1 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 foi- 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: I. 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 Department of Planning 221 Department of Planning Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 17 a~.d public/semi-public uses and not permit off-premise s~gnage. 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 enfomement 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 right-of-way. 222 Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 18 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 CalaIlen area. Water quality from this point and upstream is extremely important to all that are served by this regional water resource. Storm runoff from upland uses can dramatically impact the quality of water in the Nueces River. Cleaner water in the Department of Planning 223 , Department of Planning 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. 224 Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 20 D. TRANSPORTATION Tseh,Pe c)LICY STATEMENT D.1 ity Council adopts the Transportation Plan Unless otherwise specified all streets are recommended to contain curb, gutter and underground drainage. Wherever this transportation plan calls for the more fight-of-way than currently exists, the future fight-of- way line shall be used to determine building setbacks. Use of the future fight-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.

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. Department of Planning '1 229 Department of Planning 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 fight-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 County 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; 230 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 Callicoate 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 fi.om 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 Department of Planning 231 Department o~ Planning 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. c) 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 Street/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. FIGURE 8 - PROPOSED SOUTH LOOP EXPRESSWAY 232 Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 26 E. PUBLIC SERVICES LIBRARIES POLICY STATEMENT E.1 A high citywide priority shall be given to expanding the Northwest Branch Library. The current facility, located on McKenzie ~-oad, 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 pursuejoint 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. )epartment of Planning 233 Department of Planning 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 Parkway 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 drainageways 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 Authority to develop written agreements or modification of existing water contracts to clearly indicate areas of 234 Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 28 responsibility for provision of water utilities. Once agreements have been reached thc City will pursue modification of its State of Texas Certificate of Convcyanc~ 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 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 raptured 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. Department of Planning 235 Department of Planning Draft Northwest ADP Update December 12, 2000 Page 29 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 furore stormwater drainage facilities as the City is in the process of creating a Master Stormwater Master Plan. 236 34 Agenda Item: CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM December 15, 2000 Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a four-year contract with Ceridian Company to administer the City's Section 125 Cafeteria Plan at estimated annual costs off $13,372 year one, $13,372 year two, $13,719 year three, and $14,077 year four. Issue: The City endeavors to provide tax-saving benefits to its employees, as allowed by the tax code. Among these benefits are (1) a Premium Only Plan that provides pre-tax savings on insurance premiums for health, term life, dental, cancer, and heart/stroke benefits; and (2) two Flexible Reimbursement Accounts that provide pre-tax savings on payroll deducted dollars on behalf of certain eligible medical and child care out-of-pocket expenses. These pre-tax dollars are deducted from employees' wages before taxes are applied. This reduces the taxable income for both employees and the City. The existing four-year contract for Cafeteria Plan Administration expires January 31, 2001. A new contract must be awarded to continue the pre-tax benefit programs. Funding: Adequate funding is provided through Ordinance No. 024130, which adopted the current FY 2000- 2001 Budget. The costs of the recommended Cafeteria Plan contract are below current expenditures. Required Council Action: City Council approval is required to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the contract for Cafeteria Plan Administration. 1 Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a four-year contract with Ceridian to administer the City's Section 125 Cafeteria Plan at estimated annual costs of: $13,372 year one, $13,372 year two, $13,719 year three and $14,077 year four. Jo-~6~G. CrUZ-D~c.~or of FinAanec~l Services 237 ATTACHMENT A BACKGROUND INFORMATION The City's Cafeteria Plan provides tax savings through before-tax insurance and benefit deductions, as allowed by IRS Section 125. This reduces the taxable income for both employee and employer tax contributions, such as FICA and social security. The pre-tax saving programs are available on a voltmtary basis to all full-time employees. The City contracts with an administrator to handle the day-to-day functions and federal requirements of the City's cafeteria plan while maintaining compliance of all applicable tax code and other federal guidelines. Through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process, the City received favorable responses from the industry for Cafeteria Plan Administration. Staff reviewed several competitive proposals, in which a few offer the same services at reduced program costs to the City. Proposals received were evaluated based on the criteria identified in the RFP's and also based on the information provided by the respective proposers. The City received six (6) proposals from various administrators, but only five (5) were considered. The sixth proposal by AFLAC Insurance Company did not meet a mandatory term requirement of four years, as specified in the RFP. The remaining five proposals offer cafeteria plan administration at costs ranging from $13,372 to $26,984 annually (attached Cost Summary of Proposals). The proposal fiom Ceridian is recommended for contract award. This proposal matches or exceeds present services, yet does so at costs well below what the City is currently paying. In comparison, the Ceridian proposal has lower annual costs of $13,372 versus the current annual costs of $26,334, resulting in estimated savings of $12,962 per year. This RFP process on Cafeteria Plan Administration has been very favorable. Of the five responsive proposals, three offer to administer the City's cafeteria plan at costs below current expenditures. During an era of budgetary constraints, the City is fortunate to be able to maintain current benefits for continuity, yet at lower administrative costs to the City. 238 City of Corpus Christi 11/812000 Cafeteria Plan Administration BI#0095-00 Cost Summary of Proposals 4 -Year Cost Projection * The incumbent is The Alliance Flexible Benefits Group. ** Non -Responsive: RFP Term Requirement is 4 years. 4-YrCafeSummary00. xis Current Cost * (incumbent -Alliance) Ceridian Flexible Benefits Adm.

Motion authorizing the City to purchase the northern half of Tract D, Breokiyn Addition, Corpus Christi, Texas from Betty Jenkins for $117,000 of which $85,000 is from Fund No. 1050 and the remaining $32,000 considered a gift donation from Betty Jenkins. 1 ISSUE: The City of Corpus Christi has previously made application to both the State Coastal Coordination Council, and the Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program (CBBEP) for funding for a wetlands interpretive overlooks construction and acquisition project on Corpus Christi Beach. The wetlands interpretive project is a collaborative program between the City of Corpus Christi and the Texas State Aquarium (TSA) that will provide environmental educational opportunities to tourists, students, community members and guests of the TSA. The project includes the acquisition of two contiguous 18-acre tracts of wetlands west of Highway 181 and east of the Rincon Barge Channel (see attached map). The project also includes the construction of interpretive overlooks on both the 36-acre tract and at the wetlands area on Corpus 259 Christi Beach Park on the north end of Corpus Christi Beach. While the 36-acre acquisition will provide permanent protection for feeding and nesting habitat for a variety of species of water fowl, the project will substantially improve the TSA's educational outreach. TSA will provide directional signs linking together the newly acquired and improved areas, the area at the north end of Corpus Christi Beach, and the man-made marshlands at the TSA which serve as a wildlife rehabilitation site. This new area will not only enhance the TSA's educational outreach programs, but will be made available to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi science classes and the general public. Visitors will have the opportunity to view the rich natural habitat and wildlife in Corpus Christi and learn the importance of preserving our bays, estuaries and wetlands. Upon completion of the acquisition and construction, the TSA will operate and maintain the facilities as part of their education program and offer Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi the opportunity to conduct classes at the site. The City of Corpus Christi will retain ownership of the sites and the facilities. The funding for the project comes from a number of sources as follows: The City has received an $85,000 grant from the Coastal Coordination Council (December 13, 2000) for the construction of the wetlands interpretive overlooks. This grant must be accepted by the City and the funds must be appropriated. In 1987, a City contractor constructing Demitt Fishing Pier in the Laguna Madre propwashed a significant amount of grassland. As a result, the City, EPA, and the Corps of Engineers entered in to an Agreed Order under which the City of Corpus Christi was required to purchase a tract of land on the west side of Padre Island, excavate a significant area, and plant seagrass. Unfortunately, the seagrass died and under the terms of the Agreed Order the City is required to replant (at a cost of approximately $85,000). EPA, by letter received by the City on December 13, 2000, has agreed to allow the City to use the $85,000 to acquire 18 acres of wetlands on Corpus Christi Beach. Such $85,000 will come from the Unreserved Fund Balance of No. 5610 Liability and Employee Benefit Fund. The CBBEP has offered a grant in the amount of $85,000 for the purchase of the other 18 acres, and the City must accept the grant and appropriate those grant funds. The acquisition of the adjacent two tracts of land both containing 18 acres are from Mrs. Betty Jenkins. The southern tract has been appraised at $99,000, and the purchase price is $85,000 with the difference being donated in the amount of $14,000. The north tract was appraised at $117,000 with the purchase price being $85,000 with the difference being a $32,000 donation from Mrs. Jenkins. The City's Office of Intergovernmental Relations will pay the closing costs which are estimated to be less than $5,000. Thus, this very exciting project will be virtually entirely grant funded or funded through an existing City liability and be maintained by the TSA for the benefit of all of the residents of Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend. 260 REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Only the City Council can accept grants and appropriate funds for the Wetland Interpretive Outlook/Acquisition project. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:'This project will begin within 30 days of executing grant agreement with the CBBEP and Coastal Coordination Council. RECOMMENDATIONS: We recommend approval of this exciting project.

ISSUE: At the City's request, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has evaluated travel speeds on the section of South Staples Street between Saratoga Boulevard and the South City Limits. As a result of the evaluation, TxDOT is recommending the speed limit be decreased from 55 MPH to 50 MPH between a point near Timbergate Drive to a point near King Trail Drive (south of Oso Creek), a distance of approximately 2.2 miles. Although fully contained within the City Limits, this section of Staples Street is a State-maintained road. Subsequently, TxDO'Cs recommendation is submitted to the City Council for approval. PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: Resolution (Exhibit 2) to the Texas Department ~)f Transportation expressing the City's interest in improving traffic safety along F.H. Highway 2-1-1-I (Staples Street) between Saratoga Boulevard and the South City Limit, by encouraging the implementation of available short and longer term measures by the Texas Department of Transportation (R-024020, 04-25-00) RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the enclosed ordinance as submitted.

D00 267 (Proposed Speed Limit Reduction on Staples Street. Page 1 of 3) AGENDA MEMORANDUM Additional Background Information Background Information: This section of Staples includes a portion of the section of Staples south of Oso Creek for which residents of the King Estates and Country Creek Subdivisions have previously approached the Council seeking traffic safety enhancements. Two traffic fatalities have occurred near the vicinity of both subdivisions on near this section of Staples. The Botanical Gardens is also located on the section of Staples south of Oso Creek. Location I Jurisdiction Staples Street is designated as F.M. Highway 2444 south of Saratoga Boulevard, and continues west of the South City Limit approximately six miles west of Chapman Ranch Road (Ayers Street Extension). The South City Limit on F.M 2444 is approximately 1.3 miles west of Oso Creek. TxDOT has jurisdiction over the maintenance of F.M. Highway 2444, including authority over traffic control regulations, within the City Limits. Traffic Demand and Development Traffic demand is steadily increasing on Staples between Saratoga Boulevard and Oso Parkway, however with less increase south of Oso Parkway. The King Estates Subdivision, the Country Creek Subdivision, and the Botanical Gardens are the only development south of Oso Creek at this time. Staples St. between Saratoga and Oso Parkway is a fully improved (five-lane roadway) street. South of the Oso Creek, the road is approximately 22-feet wide, without stabilized shoulder area, and has roadside ditches. On or about June 2001, TxDOT will be undertaking a rehabilitation project on this latter section of FM 2444 consisting of paving improvements and construction of roadway shoulder area. Resolution Submitted to TxDOT In April 2000, the City submitted a resolution (Exhibit 2) to the TxDOT expressing the City's interest in improving traffic safety along F.M. Highway 2444 (Staples Street) between Saratoga Boulevard and the South City Limit, by encouraging the implementation of available short and longer term measures by the Texas Department of Transportation. Within this resolution, suggested actions were: · Expedited rehabilitation of F.M. 2444 south of Oso Creek to provide roadway shoulders and surfacing improvements (TxDOT Project) · Increase and continue the enforcement of the speed limits on this highway (City) · Reduce the speed limit along F.M. 2444 to less than the existing 55 MPH speed limit (TxDOT) · Expedite the ultimate widening of F.M. 2444 to included additional travel lanes, curb/gutter and sidewalk (City/TxDOT / MPO) (Proposed Speed Limit Reduction on Staples Street, Page ~-Date The following actions have been undertaken by the Texas Department of Transportation and City since the beginning of this year: · The City has installed advance information street signage on F.M. Highway 2444 that identifies (to approaching motorists) the Ioc~tion of intersecting residential streets from the Country Creek and King Estates Subdivisions. A warning sign has also been installed at the City Limits facing inbound traffic (approaching from outside the City Limits) to caution their approach to the residential areas. · TxDOT has extended the requested UNo Passing" zone on F.M Highway 2444 to prohibit higher speed vehicles from passing lower speed vehicles. The continuous "No Passing" zone has been extended west of the existing "No Passing" Zone to include the two residential areas. · TxDOT has scheduled a rehabilitation project on Staples Street south of Oso Creek to Chapman Ranch Road which will resurface the existing pavement and add 3-4 ft width shoulders on each side of the street. The scheduled bid letting for this project is June, 2001. · The City has maintained periodic speed limit enforcement along this section of Staples Street. I3. .Speed Limit Recommendation Based on its most recent evaluation of prevailing travel conditions on FM 2444 south of Saratoga Boulevard, TxDOT is recommending the following (as shown on attached exhibit): 1. Reduce the speed limit on Staples, between Timbergate Drive to just north of King Trail, from 55 MPH to 50 MPH; 2. Maintain existing 55 MPH speed limit between the point north of King Trail to South City Limit; Maintain the existing 65 MPH speed limit south of the South City Limit to Chapman Ranch Road (Ayers Street Extension) Please note that, in comparison with the speed limit reduction requested in the Resolution, TXDOT is not recommending a speed limit reduction all the way south to the South City Limit (i.e., abutting and south of the King Estates and Country Creek Subdivisions). The prevailing travels speeds are simply too high for a 50 MPH speed limit reduction to the South City Limit, and our Traffic Engineering Division concurs with that assessment. However, the speed limit reduction between Timbergate and King Trail is a welcomed reduction and may help to influence slower travel speeds to the South City Limit. The planned roadway rehabilitation project beginning June 2001 will certainly make the 55 MPH speed limit south of King Trail Drive more compatible with the road design once this project is completed. Future Actions Impacting Speed Control on Staples Street: As part of the 2000 Bond Issue, traffic signals will soon be installed at the Staples / Lipes and Staples / Timbergate intersections. These new signals and further development along Staples will inevitably influence drivers to reduce their travel speeds on Staples. Along with the proposed speed limit reduction, these changes will contribute to safer driving conditions in this section of South Staples Street. Board I Committee Review: The Transportation Advisory Committee approved the proposed reduction in the speed limit on Staples Street at their November 28th meeting. 269 (Proposed Speed Limit Reduction on Sta~les Street.

Bray, Jr. City Attorney yle C~is - Senior Assistant City Attorney 277 39 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM Date: December 14, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement between the City of Corpus Christi and Meyers & Associates for governmental relations services. ISSUE: For a number of years the City has been represented on legislative matters in Washington by Meyers & Associates. Mechanically, this has been carded out through an agreement between the City and the Corpus Christi Business Alliance which provided that the Alliance would hire and supervise Meyers and the City would make monthly payments to Meyers which covered approxitnately 92% of Meyers fee. Upon the separation of the Alliance into three separate entities the Meyers contract was assigned directly to the City. It expires December 31, 2000. Staff recommends renewing the Meyers contract on the same terms and conditions. Washington is far different from Austin, where legislative sessions are of short duration and Staff is capable of monitoring legislative and governmental activities and directly and easily accessing State officials. Staff lacks the necessary resources to be effective in Washington because of its essentially perpetual sessions, much larger legislative body and agencies, and distance from Corpus Christi. However, actions in Washington can profoundly affect Corpus Christi in areas such as military installations, water supply projects, environmental regulations, highways, funding for projects such as Packery Channel, and many others. Meyers & Associates have provided excellent service to the City on such issues. The present terms and conditions, to be renewed, are $6.810 per month plus expenses, for three years, terminable at will by the City, subject to appropriations. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of motion as presented. /~Sav]~ R./C~rc(~, City Manager 0JRB0500.096 279 AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI AND MEYERS & ASSOCIATES FOR GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS SERVICES This agreement is by and between the City of Corpus Christi (the "City") and Meyers & Associates, a Washington based governmental relations consulting firm (hereinafter "Meyers"), and is effective the 1 st day of January 200 I.
