Mayor Pro Tem Chesney called the meeting to order in the Basement Training Room of City
Hall. City Secretary Chapa checked the roll and verified that there was a quorum of both the Council
and the Airport Board and that the meeting had been duly posted.
Mr. Dave Hamrick, Aviation Director, commented about the ongoing construction at Corpus
Christi Intemational Airport (CCIA). He said the new terminal is scheduled to open in October 2002.
*Council Members Colmenero and Longoria arrived at approximately 12:04 p.m. Council
Member Scott arrived at approximately 12:12 p.m.
Mr. Kane thanked the Council for their interest in air service in and out of Corpus Christi.
He said the CCIA has had many accomplishments, including the new terminal, new control tower
and many other improvements. The airport is also faced with different challenges, particularly
following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Mr. Kane said that several issues to consider
are fares, frequency of flights, passenger load factors, "leakage" to other cities (such as San Antonio
and Houston), and maintaining a variety of destinations.
Mr. Kane said the board feels that a strategic, aggressive approach is required to ensure the
viability of the airport, which is a major economic component in the community. He then discussed
the various elements of the strategy: produce a public awareness campaign about the importance of
local air service and encourage short-term sacrifices to ensure long-term service and lower fares;
develop a "help desk" that will provide web-based assistance to local travelers to find the lowest
fares on locally originating flights; work to increase competition; secure assurances that the airlines
Minutes - Joint Meeting
April 16, 2002 - Page 2
will provide sufficient flights as ridership increases; and increase efforts to market Corpus Christi
as a destination. Mr. Kane said the board wants to find out how travel agents can assist in this
strategy. He noted that currently there is no incentive for travel agents to book local flights and
something must be done to help create that incentive.
Mr. Kane then responded to questions from the Council. There was a discussion about the
disparity in rates when flying out of Corpus Christi compared to flying out of San Antonio. It was
noted that many of the less expensive flights from San Antonio are destined for the West Coast and,
in particular, Las Vegas.
The Council asked about the time line of the strategy, including the development of the help
desk. City Manager Garcia said staffneeds to refine the concept and they will bring it back during
the budget discussions. Mr. Kane pointed out that if the help desk personnel do not actually book
flights for travelers, they will not be competing with travel agents. There was a consensus of the
Council to proceed with the strategy discussed by Mr. Kane.
There being no other business, Mayor Pro Tem Chesney adjourned the joint meeting at 1:00
p.m. on April 16, 2002.

Mayor Pro Tem Chesney opened discussion on Item 7, lease-purchase of two aerial fire
trucks. Responding to Council Member Garrett, City Manager Garcia stated that the Fire Department
has one aerial fire track in the current budget to be lease-purchased. However, the estimated lead
time for delivery of the truck is 270-300 days (during next fiscal year). He said to avoid that
happening again next year, staff would like to order two tracks and budget the same replacement
amount in next year's budget in addition to the amount that will be carried over from this year. First
Assistant Chief Richard Hooks explained that these aerial trucks can serve as both engine companies
(pampers) and ladder trucks.
In reply to Council Member Kinnison, Chief Hooks said the city currently has three of these
trucks in service--downtown at Belden Street, at Staples and Doddridge, and at the new station on
Rodd Field Road. He said one of the new tracks will be placed at the Five Points station to replace
the 20-year-old truck there and possibly one at Flour Bluff. Mr. Kiunison said this action will
enhance the city's service. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

Mayor Pro Tem Chesney opened discussion on Item 22, seat belt enforcement program. Mr.
Noel Johnson, law enforcement liaison for the Texas Municipal Police Association, said that
organization is contracted through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the
Texas Department of Transportation to work on the "Buckle Up Texas" and "Click It or Ticket"
(CIOT) grants. He said they are asking the Council to allow them to bring the CIOT program to
Corpus Christi.
Using a computer presentation, Mr. Johnson explained that seat belt use has been a state law
since 1985 and currently one-quarter of the people traveling on state roads are not wearing their seat
belts. He said as seat belt use increases, the death rate nationally decreases. He said in Corpus Christi
for the year 2000, belt use was at 81.1% but child safety seat use was at 72.7%; the target goal is
85%. The CIOT campaign targets the hard-core, infrequent belt user who does not believe that riding
unbuckled will cost him his life or that buckling up will save it.
Mr. Johnson said that CIOT is a highly visible enforcement effort with a clear, convincing
message. If the 85% compliance goal is maintained for one year, it is projected that 5,275 injuries
will be prevented in Texas with an economic savings of about $392 million. He said the enforcement
dates for Corpus Christi will be from May 20th-June 2nd (over the Memorial Day period) and
November 18th-25th (Thanksgiving weekend).
Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Johnson said the intention is to enforce all
Texas state seatbelt law: anyone under the age of 17 needs to be seatbelted, occupants of the front
seats need to be belted and children under the age of 4 or less than 36 inches tall need to be in a child

Mayor Pro Tem Chesney referred to Item 23, a public hearing regarding proposed
adjustments to the City Council single-member district boundary lines. City Secretary Chapa
explained that the City Charter requires that the districts be equalized. The current 5-3-1 system was
put into place in 1983 by court order, which asks that there be two "safe" districts (Districts 2 and
3) and one "swing" district (District 1) where there is a higher probability that a Hispanic or minority
will be elected to those districts. Mr. Chapa said that following the 1990 census, the boundary lines
were adjusted to accommodate population changes. According to the 2000 census, the city's
population has grown to 277,450 from 257,428 in 1990, an increase of 7.8%. He said the total
Hispanic population increased by 16.2% (5% in each district).
*Mayor Neal arrived at approximately 1:40 p.m.
Mr. Chapa said that during the Council's retreat on Mamh 15, 2002, staff presented the
proposed adjustments to the district boundary lines. He said the plan includes minimal changes but
meets the requirements of the court case and those of the Justice Department. He said the
recommended plan is as follows: District 1 - no changes; District 2 - add voting precincts 48, 84 and
109; District 3 - add voting precincts 70 and 89 and remove voting precinct 48; District 4 - no
changes; and District 5 - remove voting precincts 70, 84, 89 and 109.
Mr. Chapa said he has met with 16 individuals who have expressed interest in the
redistricting plan. He said that for the most part, they have endorsed it or have no objections to it.
In addition, a public heating was held at City Hall on April 11, 2002 which was attended by five
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 16, 2002 -Page 10
people. He said the major concern has been expressed by some members of LULAC Council #4444,
who feel there should be more Hispanics in District 5. He noted that in 1990 the Hispanic population
in District 5 was 38% and in 2000 it grew to 43%. He said the recommended plan reduces that
amount to 40%. Mr. Chapa said members of LULAC Council g4444 submitted two proposals but
they did not meet the Justice Department's basic requirement that all the precincts be contiguous.
Council Member Kiunison made a motion to open the public hearing, seconded by Council
Member Colmenero, and passed. Mayor Neal called for public comment.
Mr. Abel Alonzo, 1701 Thames, said he was one of the original plaintiffs in the single-
member district suit. He commended Mr. Chapa and staff for developing the redistricting plan
themselves rather than hiring a consultant to do it, which would have cost $40,000 to $70,000. Mr.
Alonzo said he believes it is a matter of time before District 5 becomes a swing district. He said he
supports the proposed redistricting plan because it is fair.
Mr. Ramiro Gamboa, 2630 Cloyde St., said he was also one of the original plaintiffs in the
court case. He urged the Council to approve staWs plan because it is fair and inclusive. He said in
2010 the census data will most likely change again, necessitating other boundary adjustments.
Council Member Garrett made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Council
Member Kinnison, and passed. Several Council members commended Mr. Chapa and the staff for
their efforts, saying the plan protects Districts 2 and 3 and maintains the integrity of the system. Mr.
Chapa thanked Mr. Willie Pulido and Mr. Michael Gunning of the Planning Department and
Assistant City Secretary Mary Juarez for their work. He also explained that in the next two weeks
staff will bring the first and second readings of the ordinance. Upon adoption, the plan will be sent
to the Justice Depa~'tment for a determination in about 60 days.
Mayor Neal recessed the Council meeting to read the day's proclamations.
Upon reconvening, Mayor Neal referred to Item 24 and a motion was made, seconded and
passed to open the public hearing on the following zoning case:
24.
Case No. C0202-01A. City_ of Co~us Christi: Zone newly annexed areas to an"R-1B" One-
family Dwelling District and "B-2A" Barrier Island Business District on Nueces County Park
No. 2 (Packery Channel Park), located on the east side of South Padre Island Drive, north of
Verdemar Drive.
City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended denial of the
"R-lB" and "B-2A" Districts, and in lieu thereof, approval of an "F-R" Farm-Rural District on
Tracts 1 and 2. Responding to a question from the Mayor, Mr. Gunning said the 20% rule is not
applicable in the zoning of newly annexed areas. He then gave a brief description of this zoning case,
which consists of a total of 50.01 acres: Tract 1 (30 acres) is privately owned and Tract 2 (20.01
acres) is owned by Nueces County and is known as the Packery Channel County Park. Mr. Gunning
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 16, 2002 - Page 11
also showed photographs of the subject property and adjacent properties. Mayor Neal called for
public comment.
Mr. Rick Guerra, 14506 Villa Mafia Isabella, said his property is located directly across from
the park. He said he is a member of the Audubon Outdoor Club and was asked by members of the
Sierra Club and OPUS to urge the Council to adopt the recommended "F-R" zoning for the subject
property, which they would like to be maintained as park land.
Mr. Art Olson, 1310 Southgate, said he was also speaking on behalf of the Audubon Outdoor
Club, which owns 17 lots near the subject property. He said the organization has dedicated that
property strictly as a wildlife area. He said they also support the proposed "F-R" zoning.
Mr. Garrett made a motion to close the public heating, seconded by Mr. Scott, and passed.
Mr. Scott said this process is a good example that citizens' concerns were heeded. Mr. Gunning said
staff had originally recommended "R-lB," which is the standard zoning for parks, and "B-2A" for
the northern 30 acres. However, several citizens were opposed to that zoning and the Planning
Commission and staffagreed that "F-R" would be more appropriate. Mr. Chapa polled the Council
for their votes as follows:
24. ORDINANCE NO. 024828
Amending the Zoning Ordinance upon application by the City of Corpus Christi by changing
the zoning map in reference to the newly annexed tracts totaling 50.01 acres, designated as
Area A, Tract 1 and 2, by zoning as "F-R" Farm-Rural District; amending the
Comprehensive Plan to account for any deviations from the existing Comprehensive Plan;
requiring application for certificate of occupancy for nonconforming use.
An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed as follows: Neal, Chesney,
Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Longoria absent.
Mayor Neal referred to Items 25-28 and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open
the public hearing on those zoning cases (as follows). There were no comments from the public. Mr.
Kinnison made a motion to close the public heating, seconded by Mr. Noyola, and passed.
Mr. Scott referred to Item 26 and asked why that case was being recommended for "F-R"
zoning. Mr. Gunning replied that "R-lB" has been the default zoning district for newly annexed
properties. However, in this case since "F-R" does not impact park operations, it was felt that
designation would be more protective of the property. He said in the furore if newly annexed
property is located in a developed area, staff will probably recommend "R-lB" zoning; however, if
it is in a rural area where development potential is uncertain, staffwill probably recommend "F-R."
City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

Mayor Neal referred to Item 29, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the
public hearing on the following zoning case:
29.
Case No. 0302-02. Oceanic Development, Ltd; A change of zoning from an "R-IA" One-
family Dwelling District and "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District to a "B-4" General
Business District on Tract 1 and "A- 1" Apartment House District on Tract 2, on Flour Bluff
and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, Section 28, being 6.5 acres out of Lots 1 and 2, located
on the north side of South Padre Island Drive, approximately 450 feet east of Rodd Field Rd.
Mr. Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended approval of the "B-4"
General Business District on Tract 1 and "A-I" Apartment House District on Tract 2. No one
appeared in opposition to the zoning change. Mr. Kinnison made a motion to close the public
hearing, seconded by Mr. Noyola, and passed.
Responding to Mr. Chesney, Mr. Gunning said that 50 residents from the Carriage Park
Townhomes and eight residents from the Rock Creek Townhomes sent letters in opposition to the
proposed rezoning. However, he said the townhome properties combined only represent 11.9% of
the total area, which does not trigger the 20% rule. Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes:

Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 16, 2002 - Page 15
Ms. Norma Urban, President of the Corpus Christi Downtown Management District, said the
DMD passed a resolution in which they supported the concept of developing the marina. She said
the board also strongly encourages the Council to proceed with negotiations with a developer so as
not to stop the current momentum.
Mr. Abel Alonzo thanked the City Manager for making inclusive and diverse department
head appointments. He also referred to the marina development project, saying that it will increase
the city's tax base. He urged the Council to move forward.
Mr. Tim Clower, 415 Start St., said the downtown area has been ignored and he does not
believe that development there will affect the Packery Channel project. He said he believes the
marina project will positively affect other businesses.
Mr. Jack Gordy, 4118 Bray Dr., referred to a sign in front of Thomas J. Henry's business and
a 4x8 sign in the right-of-way of 5212 Weber Road. He also said that previously, two city employees
received car allowances and now 53 employees receive them. He said car allowances should only
be used by employees to conduct city business and not given as a benefit. He said there needs to be
accountability.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, distributed copies of a letter to the Council from the
Corpus Christi Taxpayers Association Inc. dated April 16, 2002. The letter states that the
professional services contract between the city and Mr. W. Thomas Utter is in violation of Article
X, Section 2(d) of the City Charter. Mr. O'Brien also said he had attended a meeting of the
Water/Shore Advisory Committee in which no public comment was allowed on agenda items. He
said if the policy is not clarified, he believes the chairman of that committee should be removed.
Mayor Neal asked City Attorney Bray to review the April 16th letter distributed by Mr.
O'Brien. He also asked about public comment during board and committee meetings. City Secretary
Chapa replied that there is a policy stating that any public meetings held at City Hall must provide
for public comment. Mr. Bray added that some boards provide for comment at the end of their
meetings but not on every agenda item. Deputy City Manager Noe stated that the Water/Shore
Advisory Committee had its public comment posted at the beginning of the meeting. He said it is
not their normal practice to have public comment on every agenda item. Council Member Noyola
requested copies of the minutes of that Water/Shore committee meeting.
Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia said the next Council meeting
will be held on April 23~d and scheduled items include a public hearing and presentation on the
marina development project and the first reading of the single-member district plan. On April 30t~
there will be a joint meeting at noon with the Convention and Visitors Bureau followed by the
regular meeting at 1 p.m. Items scheduled for the regular meeting include the utility rate model
adjustments and an update on the Bond 2000 projects.
The Mayor thanked Mr. Chesney for presiding at the joint meeting with the Airport Board
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 16, 2002 - Page 16
on April 164 and earlier during this Council meeting. He said he was in Austin this morning
attending a meeting of the Texas Strategic Military Planning Commission, to which he was recently
reappointed. The Mayor also distributed a copy of an April 144 editorial in the Houston Chronicle
entitled "City budget--citizens' costs go up; services remain substandard." He said that Houston is
one of only three Texas cities with a "strong mayor" form of government. According to the editorial,
Houston's FY02-03 budget is facing a $33 million shortfall. Mayor Neal said Houston is an example
of what can happen when one person is given too much power. He said he believes Corpus Christi
citizens are being told by members of a petition drive that the strong mayor model is an answer to
all the city's problems. He said Corpus Christi does not have Houston's problems because over the
last two years the Council, city staff, and public have done a good job of managing the budget. He
then called for Council concerns and reports.
Mr. Chesney referred to an April 164 article in the Corpus Christi Caller-Times about
potential delays to the marina development project. He said he is in favor of some development at
the marina and his intention was to obtain some additional form of public comment. He said rather
than try to postpone the project, he feels a planning process can proceed at the same time that the
Council considers allowing staff to negotiate with developers.
Responding to a question from Mr. Chesney, Mr. Garcia said that city staff has not yet
received the authority from the Council to begin negotiations with Landry's. He said there are many
things staff would like to require them to do with regards to the development. He said a
memorandum of agreement is a long way from any kind of lease agreement or contractual
arrangement, which would require detailed review and public participation. Mr. Chesney said he
thinks planning needs to be done to tie in the marina, the port, the arena and other bayfxont activities.
Mr. Chesney also thanked Council Members Garrett, Scott and Kinnison for participating
with him in the April 84 town hall meeting at Wilson Elementary School. He asked Mr. Garcia about
the status of the "south wharf' project being proposed by Mr. Leon Loeb. Mr. Garcia replied that
staff has had several discussions with Mr. Loeb and are trying to develop a memorandum of
agreement with him since the Council authorized them to do so. He said the challenge has been
txying to structure an agreement that allows Mr. Loeb to proceed so that the issue can be placed on
the ballot for approval of the lease.
Mr. Noe said that staff is reviewing the formal response they received from Mr. Loeb
yesterday. He said Mr. Loeb is aiming for a final decision in May in anticipation of a November
election. Mr. Garcia said the difference between Mr. Loeb's proposal and the marina development
is that with the latter, the city owns existing property and it needs to ensure that its interests are
protected as staffstmctures a lease agreement with another entity. On the other hand, he said he does
not think the issues related to Mr. Loeb's proposal are that complex. He added that the time frames
are also very different: about 7-10 years for the south wharf versus about three years for Landry's.
Mr. Chesney also asked about the status of the sign in front of Mr. Hem-y's office. Mr. Noe
said that April 12th was the deadline for Mr. Hem3' to apply for an application for a conditional sign
permit but he did not do so. Mr. Noe said that as a result, Code Enforcement staff cited Mr. Henry
for the sign and the next step is to Municipal Court for enforcement action. He said it is not a public
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 16, 2002 - Page 17
health and safety issue. Mr. Garcia said the only things the city can regulate are the size and locations
of signs-not their content. Mr. Bray said staff is following the same process with Mr. Henry's sign
as it does with other sign violations. He said the city does not have the resources to file an injunction
suit against all such violators. Mr. Chesney suggested that the ordinance may need to be changed to
address certain issues. Mr. Noe said the judge will decide what action to take.
Mayor Neal addressed the marina development issue, saying that the Council has not yet
made a decision but will consider it on April 23rd with presentations and full public comment.
Mr. Garrett asked if debris placed next to the containers used in the automated trash pick-up
program would also be collected. Assistant City Manager Ron Massey said that extra trash was
picked up during the transition period but then notices were disseminated stating that practice would
cease because it defeats the purpose of the automated program. He said if people have an excess
amount of trash on a regular basis, they can get another container; they can take it to the landfill; or
they can recycle it if applicable.
Mr. Garrett also asked about the Police Department photo imaging program. Mr. Garcia
replied that Police ChiefAlvarez informed him today that they have resolved the issue and now have
an agreement. Mr. Garrett asked about the status of the McArdle Road improvements project. Mr.
Escobar said that Phase 1 (Everhart to Weber) should be completed in September 2002; Phase 2
(Carroll Lane to Weber) should be completed in August 2002.
Mr. Kinnison asked if the marina issue on April 23rd can be scheduled after public comment
at 5:30 p.m. so citizens can attend the meeting. There was a question about starting the meeting later
but it was determined that it needs to start at 2 p.m. because of zoning cases that have been
published. Mr. Kinnison said he thought the Council had not committed to putting the south wharf
project on the November ballot. Mr. Garcia said the Council directed staff to proceed with
negotiations with Mr. Loeb but they have not concluded them.
Mr. Colmenero said he would like clarification about a pending permit to rent jet skis at the
marina and be forwarded a letter to Mr. Garcia about a personnel matter. Mr. Colmenero also
referred to a letter the Council received on April 16th from Mr. John Torrey, owner of a company
called Captain Hook. He said the Council should be able to view Mr. Torrey's beach-cleaning
machine. Mr. Garcia stated that staff has offered Mr. Torrey the opportunity to demonstrate the
machine's effectiveness, which he has refused to do. He added that Mr. Torrey's proposal costs more
than the city's current beach cleaning operation. Additional discussion ensued and staff responded
to Council members' questions.
Mr. Colmenero then made a motion to have Mr. Torrey provide a demonstration to the City
Council of his company's beach-cleaning capabilities; seconded by Mr. Noyola. City Secretary
Chapa polled the Council and the motion failed to pass by the following vote: Cohnenero, Kelly and
Noyola voting "Aye"; Neal, Garrett, Kinnison and Scott voting "No"; Chesney and Longoria absent.
Mayor Neal said he would support the idea of a pilot program in which Mr. Torrey can demonstrate
the effectiveness of his equipment. Mr. Garrett said he thinks staff needs to view the machine and
make a decision they can bring back to the Council.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 16, 2002 - Page 18
Mr. Noyola asked if the Planning Commission has been briefed about the marina
development project and Mr. Noe said they have. Mr. Noyola requested input from the
commissioners about the marina proposals. He also asked about Time Warner Cable's public access
studio. Mr. Bray replied that the franchise agreement will come before the Council. Mr. Garcia
pointed out that very few people use the Time Warner studio/production facility. Mr. Noyola said
he hopes the cable company does not do away with it.
Mr. Kelly asked about the Omaha Street improvements project. Mr. Escobar said that testing
and televising of the sanitary sewer lines was completed and he is waiting for those reports. He said
that last week staff met with the bonding company, which has agreed on the work to be done since
the original contractor failed to complete the project. He said the bonding company is seeking bids
from other contractors and the work will probably begin in mid-June. He added that the Engineering
inspection department will monitor the project. He said the portion involving reopening driveways
and accessing water meters should begin next week. Mr. Escobar said if the new contractor follows
the originally proposed work schedule, the project should be completed by late September or early
October. Mr. Kelly said the quarterly reports on Omaha Street seemed to indicate that everything was
proceeding smoothly until the contractor walked off the job. He said that makes him wonder about
the Hampshire Road project. Mr. Escobar said staff will provide a report.
Mr. Garrett read a statement from Mr. Chesney in which he thanked the Mayor and Council
for recessing the April 2nd special Council meeting so they could attend his father's memorial
service. He said he and his family would like to thank all those who expressed their concern.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjourned the
Council meeting at 4:30 p.m. on April 16, 2002.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 23, 2002
SUBJECT: City Hall HVAC Chillers and Control System
AGENDA ITEM:
Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an engineering services
contract with Bath Engineering in the amount of $96,900 for replacement and upgrade of
the City Hall Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Chillers and Control System.
ISSUE: The existing chillers require increasing maintenance and unscheduled repairs.
The system is deemed to be near the end of its end of its economic life and requires
replacement.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the motion as presented.
~l~/t, ngel R. Escobar, P.E.
Director of Engineering Services

A. Additional Information
B. Contract Summaries
H:\HOME\KEViNS\GE N\CITYHALL\HVAC~AE-AWD,M
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
BACKGROUND: The existing cooling system consists of two gas absorption chillers
supplying chilled water to variable air volume (VAV) air handlers. The chilled water system
consists of two 243-ton Hitachi gas fired absorption chillers. While the equipment is
properly sized, the current system is incapable of meeting cooling demand. A January
2001 evaluation by Bath Engineering found the chillers were producing only 80% (194-
tons) of the designed capacity. The reduced cooling was due to several factors relating
to the age of the equipment. The factors include:
1. reduced pump efficiencies from the absorbers;
2. deteriorated and damaged tubes; and
3. tube foiling.
The terminal equipment (VAV boxes) are in poor condition. The VAV boxes are necessary
to distribute the cooling provided by the chillers. A number of boxes have been replaced
by Facility Maintenance as funding permitted. The existing control system was the last of
its type delivered by the manufacturer. It is obsolete and provides limited control.
Changes in cooling load factors require a labor intensive response to make adjustments.
New digital controls have been installed for the Council Chamber, and needs to be
extended throughout the building.
The system is increasingly subject to unanticipated failures. City Hall does not have an
alternative ventilation system, and is reliant on proper operation of the HVAC system.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
Approval of the FY2001-2002 Annual Budget, Ordinance No. 024528.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION:
Award of a construction contract for replacement and upgrade of the City Hall heating
ventilation and air-conditioning chillers and control system.
CONSULTANT SELECTION:
Bath Engineering was engaged administratively to conduct a thermal load study for City
Hall that was completed in January 2001. That study documented the condition of the
central plant and HVAC system. The firm is thoroughly familiar with the City Hall central
plant and HVAC system. They are the most knowledgeable local firm regarding the City
Hall system. They are able to proceed immediately which will optimize replacement of the
system next winter during periods of minimum cooling requirements.
I EXHIBIT "A"
Page 1 of 2
CONTRACT SCOPE/FEE:
A contract summary is attached. A comprehensive analysis of the entire system is
required to ensure the resulting chiller replacement and upgrades results in the desired
result. A comprehensive design reduces the cost of engineering fees if the components
were addressed through separate contracts.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project will result in the installation of a 350-ton and a 150-
ton gas absorption chiller with necessary contrels, pumps, and piping modifications. This
configuration will allow for improved efficiency in addressing base and peak cooling load
requirements. Replacement of terminal units (VAV boxes) with stand alone digital controls
will be provided as permitted by funding availability.
FUNDING: Funding is available from Facility Management FY2001-2002 Annual Budget.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
March 21, 2002
AGENDA ITEM:
Motion approving the reimbursement application submitted by Braselton Land Ventures,
Inc., owner and developer of The Park at Dunbarton Oaks Subdivision, (who will complete
construction of the full street), for reimbursement of developer's contribution for in lieu of half
street construction of Patti Drive as was required by the development of The Village at
Dunbarton Oak Unit I Subdivision and approved by City Council Ordinance No. 024154 on
August 22, 2000; and
Ordinance appropriating $45,445.57 from the Street Trust Fund, Village/Dunbarton Oak 1
Subaccount No. 6010-263033, to pay Braselton Land Ventures, Inc.'s request for
reimbursement in accordance with the Platting Ordinance, to fund construction of half street
(with supporting public utility infrastructure) required by development of The Village at
Dunbarton Oak Unit 1 Subdivision, said construction having previously been deferred for
cash in lieu of construction during platting; and declaring an emergency.
ISSUE: Braselton Land Ventures, Inc., owner and developer of The Park at Dunbarton
Oak, is required to construct his half of Patti Drive as required by platting and, as the
developer of The Village at Dunbarton Oak and contributor of money in lieu of construction
for the adjoining half street, has the obligation to construct the full street and is requesting
reimbursement of costs associated with the previously deferred construction of the half
street in accordance with the Platting Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the motion and ordinance as
presented.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Braselton Land Ventures, Inc., now developing The Park at Dunbarton Oaks subdivision, is
required to construct half of Patti Drive (Type C1 Collector Street, 40' B-B in a 60-foot right of
way) as a requirement of platting.
Braselton Land Ventures, Inc. also developed the adjacent and abutting subdivision, The Village
at Dunbarton Oak Unit 1, a 7.88 acre tract that was previously platted out of Lots 3, 4, 13, and
14, Section 11, Flour Bluff & Encinal Farm & Garden Tracts. At the time of platting, Staff
recommended that construction of a half street (portion of Patti Ddve) be deferred until such time
that the full right-of-way width of the sections of Patti Drive could be constructed in the future, and
that developer provide cash in lieu of construction in accordance with Section IV-A.12.d) of the
Platting Ordinance. By Ordinance No. 024154, dated August 22, 2000, City Council approved
developer's contribution for in lieu of half street construction of Patti Ddve (with supporting public
utility infrastructure), and establishment of a City interest-bearing account in the Infrastructure
Trust Fund for deposit of developer's contribution, and restricting said monies for completion of
the "improvements" at the time of platting and development of properties directly adjacent to and
abutting the secured "improvement" opposite The Village at Dunbarton Oak Unit 1.
The development of The Park at Dunbarton Oaks subdivision is the property directly adjacent to
and abutting the secured "improvement" opposite The Village at Dunbarton Oak Unit 1. See
Exhibit B, Location Map. Braselton Land Ventures, Inc. is therefore requesting reimbursement
of monies required to build the half street previously deferred which now will complement the half
street required for plat recordation of The Park at Dunbarton Oak subdivision, enabling
construction of a full Patti Drive to the southern limit of Braselton-owned properties.
DEVELOPER REQUEST: The developer paid $51,673.70 for the deferral based on their
engineer's opinion of probable construction cost in August 2000. The actual construction cost
based on bids was $45,445.57. The difference appears to have mainly due to a decrease in the
cost of PVC water pipe. The developer has requested the full payment be reimbursed. Staff
reading of the ordinance is that the payment is for the deferral, and only the actual cost is due the
developer. Excess payments remain in the trust and are used to defray the costs of payments
that were inadequate to cover the cost of improvements. The developer has been informed that
Council is being requested to authorize payment of the actual construction cost ($45,445.57).
Exhibit C contains cost-supporting documentation, including the Reimbursement Application, for
developer's request.
TIMING OF REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST: The Platting Ordinance requires that the developer
constructing the full street must submit an application for reimbursement, including all cost
supporting documentation, to the Director of Engineering Services pdor to the construction of the
half street or construction both of the half street and either or both of its related water and sanitary
sewer infrastructure improvements. The developer has begun construction of the subdivision and
needs the reimbursement to construct the half street for which money in lieu of construction was
previously provided.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND: Corpus Christi Independent School District (CCISD), owner and
developer of Cimarron Crossing Unit 5, Block 14, Lot 1, upgraded existing Cimarron
Boulevard along the subject property frontage to a Neighborhood C2 Collector with a
70-foot ROW in compliance with the platting ordinance. The subdivision plat is
recorded in Volume 60, Page 1 of the Map Records of Nueces County, Texas. The
public improvements were accepted by the City on October 14, 1999.
The street improvements constructed by the developer are shown on Exhibit 'B', Site
Location Map. The development area is bounded on the west by 497 linear feet of
Cimarron Boulevard pavement right-of-way. Construction of the elementary school on
the subject property created the need to upgrade the affected portion of Cimarren
Boulevard from the standards for a Residential C1 Collector (2" HMAC, 6" Caliche
Base, 8" Limed Subgrade, 40-foot B-B) to those of a Neighborhood C2 Collector (2"
HMAC, 8" Caliche Base, 10" Limed Subgrade, 48-foot B-B). The improvements were
constructed in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the City.
STREET PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT: Platting Ordinance Section V, Subsection
B, 1, b), provides that "The City will pay additional construction costs with regard to
pavement thickness greater than those of a Residential Collector street cross section for
Neighborhood Collectors and Commercial Collectors to the extent permitted by the
Texas Local Government Code, §§ 212.071 et. seq. Supporting construction costs
taken from as-built quantities are shown in Exhibit 'C'. The City's share of costs must
not exceed $14,137.27 for the street construction.
FACTORS THAT DELAYED EXECUTION OF THE STREET PARTICIPATION
AGREEMENT:
The City's funds for participation in new subdivision street construction come from the
Street Capital Projects Funds. Because of experienced budget shortfalls, in July 1999
the City Council approved deferral of 26 different accounts, including Subdivision Street
Participation, pending Bond Election 2000. Therefore, no monies were available for
participation in street construction for subdivision development.
Because City charter prohibits execution of a contract without certification by the City's
Director of Finance on the availability of funds for the contract, the City's Engineering
Department could not process the agreement for Cimarron Crossing Unit 5, Block 14,
Lot 1 as required.
Exhibit "A" I
Page 1 of 2
As the City Engineer's designee in subdivision plan review and approval, the Special
Services Engineer acknowledged the technical sufficiency of the subdivision plans,
including, in principle, the adequacy of City share of street participation presented by
the developer's Engineer. Through his Engineer, the Developer was made aware that
funding of participation agreements had been deleted from the City's 2000-2001 budget
in July 1999 and deferral made for up to three years, that the City's Legal Department
had advised that City charter prohibits execution of a contract without certification by the
City's Director of Finance on the availability of funds for the contract, and that the City's
upper management was fully apprised of the situation and supportive of the need for the
City to meet its fiscal obligation concerning this project when funds became available.
The developer was fully aware that he was proceeding with the street construction at
risk.
CURRENT ACTION: The favorable outcome of Bond Election 2000 provided funds for
Subdivision Street Participation in the current budget. Approval of this Ordinance by the
City Council will allow the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Participation
Agreement as proposed to pay Corpus Christi Independent School District for the City's
share of $14,137.27 of the public street improvements.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Date: April 16, 2002
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution approving the submission of a grant application in the amount of
$69,995 to the State of Texas, Criminal Justice Division for funding to continue a project in the
Police Department to prevent minors from purchasing and consuming alcohol.
ISSUE: The problem of underage possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the City of
Corpus Christi has been and continues to be of significant concern in the community. The program
will continue to address this problem and enhance the enforcement of underage drinking laws.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Criminal Justice Division of the Governor's Office is
providing 6 month funding from May 1 to November I to continue projects to prevent minors from
purchasing and consuming alcohol. The purpose of the program is to strictly enforce state law
regarding underage purchase and consumption of alcohol, discourage the sale of alcohol to minors,
and to raise public awareness of alcohol's harmful effects on minors. The grant funds overtime
officers who work in conjunction with TABC with the following objectives:
· Target establishments suspected of a pattern of violations of state laws
· Inform both establishments and minors of the consequences of illegal sales and purchases;
· Prosecute those who illegally sell and purchase alcoholic beverages.
· Promote a strong and consistent message concerning the consequences of underage drinking
to be accomplished through the TABC Project SAVE designed to make teenagers aware of
consequences of underage drinking and through the DARE curriculum.
The unit began operations in March 2000 and has issued a total of 1,718 citations for minors in
possession, minors consuming, and misrepresenting age. A total of 512 arrests were made for public
intoxication, furnishing alcohol to minors, and other miscellaneous offenses. 40 stings have been
conducted resulting in 60 arrests.
FUNDING: Funding covers overtime for four officers, four hours a day, 3 days a week, 26 weeks of
the year. Equipment to be purchased includes lease vehicles for undercover work and equipment for
covert operations. The funding is only for 6 months as the State is reviewing the future availability of
funds.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Approval to submit the grant.

Section 1: Problem Statement and Data
A noticeable rise in the incidence of underage purchase, possession, and consumption
of alcoholic beverages by minors within the city limits of Corpus Christi is being
experienced since 12/31/01. It is apparent that underage individuals and retailers have
realized the cessation of grant operations that focused on "Enforcing Underage Drinking
Laws".
Section2: Goal Statement
The impact of past years grant operations on "Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws" was
measurably positive. Our goal is to reestablish public knowledge of our
enforcement/education/prevention efforts, and to confmue those enforcement operations
that have proven to be effective in deterring, preempting, and ceasing underage alcohol
abuse/violations.
Section 3: Target Group
The success of our past grant operations demonstrates that we should, and will,
continue to target the following focus areas:
Middle school age students education/prevention
High school age students education/prevention/enforcement
Parents/School Officials education/prevention/enforcement
Retailers education/prevention/enforcement
Law Enforcement Officials education
Section 4: Project Activities
The core of activities will include:
Retail on and off premise minor decoy stings.
Downtown bar foot patrol
Mobile/roving street enforcement
Residential minor party interdiction
School/PTAJPTSA/community education efforts
Other education/awareness efforts
Section 5: Project Objectives
The following are those criteria that will be utilized to track activity effectiveness:
Output Measures - Data will be collected on a dally basis documenfmg each
individual contact, citation, arrest, or educational contact made as a result of grant
operations. In addition, data will be reported on age of contact, offense reported
(i.e. MIP/Minor consuming/sale to minor), and officer making cuntacffreport. In
addition, effort will be made to gather prosecutorial result of those criminal cases
filed.
- Outcome Measures - The desired outcome measure is a significant decrease in the
incidence of abuse/use/possession of alcoholic beverages by minors. Since
cessation of grant activities on 12/31/01, incidents involving minors and alcoholic
beverage reported are on the rise.
- Current Data - The following data is the most recent data available:
During the period from 1/1/01 thru 12/31/01, CCPD grant operations resulted in the
following:
a. 18 minor decoy stings were conducted resulting in 36 cases of sale of alcoholic
beverage to minor arrests.
b. Approx 52 "minor parties" were interdicted by grant ops teams resulting in
some 531 citations and some 38 arrests for "Making Available Alcohol to
minors)
c. Over 1200 citations and arrests were submitted for prosecution
d. Over 3000 individuals were addressed at various events, which focused on
alcoholic beverages and minors/the law.
e. The vast majority of the above criminal cases involved individuals between the
ages of 16 and 23years of age.
Target Levels
Considering that this application is for the first 6months of year 2002, the following
are target levels:
a. Minor Decoy stings - 6 to 8 separate stings
b. 15 to 20 downtown foot patrol operations
c. 10 to 15 operations focused on minor parties
d. 4 to 6 major educational/prevention structured activities
e. 600 underage comacts
f. 1200 educational/prevention contacts
Project Summary:
Corpus Christi continues to experience the problems of, and associated with, underage
possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages. The forecast continues to be one that
the problem will become more prevalent with increasing population of underage
individuals, increase in number of retail establishments dealing in alcoholic beverage,
and the increasing number of students enrolling in major colleges/universities near
Corpus Christi. However, primarily due to grant operations over the last two years,
CCPD has gotten the attention of the retailers and the youth resulting in some positive
impact on the problem, and greater awareness of the problem.
The City of Corpus Christi is the seventh largest in the State with an estimated
population of 300,000. Inside the city are a major university and a junior college with two
campuses, several recreational areas, and Padre Island that attracts large numbers of
"Spring Breakers" from March through June. More and more students are deciding to
travel to Corpus Christi rather than to South Padre Island for their Spring Break because
it is less crowded. Additionally, effective 2002, the City of Corpus Christi has annexed a
large area of beach between Corpus Christi and Port Aransas. This annexation will result
in CCPD dealing with many thousands more "Spring Breakers" this year, and for years to
come.
Despite the consistent growth and problems in this area of focus, there have been no
increases in the staffing of the CCPD Vice section or Corpus Christi TABC field agents.
The City will utilize the available grant funds to dedicate officers on an overtime basis to
address the problem by inhibiting the drinking of alcoholic beverages by minors and
juveniles through vigorous enforcement and aggressive prosecution of offenders, and the
presentation of public education programs. We have already experienced a positive
impact from the grant operations that have taken place, and we are now experienc'mg the
expected resurgence of the problem since grant operations ceased on 12/31/01. The lines
of communication for relaying information, complaints, questions relating to the
enforcement of underage drinking laws, and the related educational efforts have been
established through prior grant effo~s. The task at hand is to tpy and get the momentum
experienced as of 12/31/01 reestablished and continue on with the successful efforts
already accomplished.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
City Council Meeting: April 23, 2002
BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the Texas Department of Human
Service (TDHS) provides grants for youth nutrition as a continuation of the National
School Lunch Program. The City's Summer Recreation Program is again receiving the
nutrition grant for forty-seven Summer Recreation sites, for a total grant of $446,823 this
summer (Item A). No local match is required.
This program is a collaborative effort with many agencies to provide summer meals to
the youth of Corpus Christi. Sites to be served are T.C. Ayers Recreation Center, Joe
Garza Recreation Center, Lindale Recreation Center, Oso Recreation Center, Oak Park
Recreation Center, Ben Garza Gym, Collier Pool, H.E.B. Pool, Greenwood Pool,
Y.M.C.A. Summer Camps, Blanche Moore Elementary, Carroll Lane Elementary,
VVoodlawn Elementary, Yeager Elementary, Chula Vista Elementary, Central Park
Elementary, Cullen Middle School, Lexington Elementary, South Park Middle School

Schools), Boy's and Girl's Club-Greenwood, Cliff Maus Village, Molina Neighborhood
Centers, Navarro Place (Housing Authority), Treyway Terrace (Housing Authority), La
Armada (Housing Authority), La Armada #3 (Housing Authority), Wiggins (Housing
Authority), McKinzie Place (Housing Authority), Leeward Manor (Housing Authority),
Hampton Port (Housing Authority), Parkway (Housing Authority), Leathers (Housing

Education Center, Casa De Manana, New Life Fellowship Church, Fighting to R.I.D.
Gangs in America (Oscar Romero School), Friendship Baptist Church, Salvation Army
Community Center, and Gulfway Manor Apartments. Additional agencies are still
contacting the Park and Recreation Department to be included in the Summer Food
Service Program.
Over the past few years, the City and CCISD have entered into local interagency
agreements for the preparation and delivery of meals to the sites (Item C) and the
transportation services related to the programs (Item D).
The City and CClSD again propose to enter into a contract for CCISD to prepare and
deliver the lunches at a rate of $1.85 per lunch and $.45 per snack, both provided on a
weekday basis during the eight week Summer Program, June 3 to July 26, 2002. The
Summer Youth Program sites (Chula Vista Elementary, Central Park Elementary and
Cullen Middle School) will be serving meals Monday - Thursday, as per CClSD. The
lunches consist of sandwiches, fruit/vegetable, milk and dessert and the snack consists
of fruit/vegetable, milk and dessert. It is estimated that approximately 3600 meals per
day will be served meals. Some of the youth in the summer programs bring their own
lunch or come to the facilities after lunch. CClSD will maintain and provide menu
records as well as daily meals served until the program's end. At the individual sites, the
City employs CCISD Food Service staff as part time seasonal employees to veri~ meal
counts, serve meals and clean up the site. Grants funds are used to pay the seasonal
employees, cleaning supplies, monitors and food costs. Total program costs, including
operation and administration, are to be provided by the State's reimbursement. No City
funds will be utilized, but an ordinance is necessary to appropriate the grant of $446,823
in order to implement the program. CCISD has approved the food service agreement.
In order to provide transportation for summer program field trips, CClSD will provide bus
service at a rate of $2.52 per mile, which includes the cost of the buses, drivers and

intra-mural sports program and trips to area attractions such as the Texas State
Aquarium, U.S.S. Lexington, Funtrackers and museums for approximately 2,500 youth in
the related City's Summer Programs. The projected amount to be spent on the
transportation agreement is $23,000 part of which is included in the FY 01-02 Operating
Budget and part is funding from the Weed and Seed grant funding for Iow income youth.
This agreement represents substantial cost savings to the City when compared to private

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting -April 23, 2002
AGENDA ITEM:
An Ordinance amending Section 12-75(a) of the Code of Ordinances to remove limitations on
the size of vessels that can be hauled out for repair on the L-head; providing for severance;
and providing for publication.
ISSUES:
The current Ordinance limits the size of boats that can be hauled out using the travel lift at the
L-head to thirty-five feet in length. Advancing technology in boat design has significantly
reduced the weight of boats, making the 35-foot limitation unnecessary. The current travel lift
is capable of hauling out boats weighing up to 15 tons, regardless of their actual length. As
technology continues to advance, both in regards to boats themselves and haul out equipment,
even this equipment capacity can change.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance as presented.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
The current Ordinance was written to establish limitations on the size of boat that could be
hauled out at the L-head because of weight limitations on the capacity of the travel lift.
Technology has advanced significantly since the Ordinance was first written. Today fifty -
foot boats are well within the equipment capacity of the current lift, As technology continues
to advance, the reduction in weight of increasingly larger boats can expect to continue as
well. Additionally, at some point a new travel lift may be purchased which would be capable
of hauling out even heavier weights.
By removing the size limitations of boats that can be hauled out, the City recognizes that
only the capacity of the hauling equipment is relevant. Any future changes to that capacity
will not require an additional amendment to the Ordinance.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: April 23, 2002)
Case No. 0302-03~ Christus Spohn Health System' A change of zoning from an "A-I" Apartment
House District to an "I-3" Heavy Industrial District on Ocean View Addition, Block I, Lots 4, 5, and 6, located
on the west side of Ocean Drive, approximately 150 feet south of Morgan Avenue.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation (03/27/02): Denial, and in lieu thereof,
approval of an "AB" Professional Office District with a Special Permit for a 6-story building and a roof helipad
subject to a site plan and five (5) conditions.
Requested Council Action: Denial of the "I-3" Heavy Industrial District, and in lieu thereof, approval of
an "AB" Professional Office District with a Special Permit for a 6-story building and a roof helipad subject to a
site plan and five (5) conditions and adoption of the attached ordinance.
Purpose of Request: For a hospital pavilion and roof helipad.
Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from an "A-I" Apartment House .District to a "I-3"
Heavy Industrial District in order to construct a 6-story occupied building with a maximum overall height of 104
feet from average grade level of the building and to relocate the helipad at tiffs site currently located at the Spolm
pavilinn/garage south of the subject property. The proposed building would occupy the subject property and part of
the adjacent parking lot to the west. A multi-level medical facility will be constructed and connected to the north
side of the existing Spolm pavilion/garage. There are no proposed driveway access points from the subject property
onto Ocean Drive, an arterial. All access to the subject propet~y is proposed from Elizabeth Street during th/s
development phase.
The Zoning Ordinance requires an "I-3" District for airports and landing strips and permits a hospital with unlimited
height. The applicant was required to apply for the "I-3" District that would accommodate the helipad and the
proposed 6-story (104 feet) hospital. The applicant is actually seeking a change of zoning to "AB" with a Special
Permit to allow a hospital with a height of 104 feet and a roof helipad. The "AB" District allows for hospitals and
independent medical office uses with a maximum height of 60 feet. The proposed structure exceeds the permitted
height of the "AB" District by 44 feet. The extension of the "AB" District with a special permit for a 6-story (104
feet) hospital with a roof helipad is consistent with the Southeast Area Development Plan's recommended land use
and existing development pattern along Ocean Drive. In lieu of an "1-3" District, an "AB" District to allow the
hospital building with a Special Permit to accommodate the additional building height and rooftop helipad is
recommended. Any adverse impacts from the helipad would pertain to the noise. Since this use provides an
emergency service and meets a public need, a higher level of noise tolerance is acceptable, and the flight patterns
will not change from the current flight patterns onto the existing helipad.
Applicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning Commission and Staff's recommendation.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, six (6) notices were mailed to the property owners within a
200-foot radius, of which none were returned in favor or in opposition. The applicant/owner of the subject property
submitted a notice in favor. The 20% rule is not in effect. I'

with five (5) conditions.
Zoning Report
Case No. 0302.03 (Christus Spohn Health System)
Page 3
In August 1996, Lots 7 through 11, located on the northwest comer of Elizabeth Street and Ocean
Drive and south of the subject property, were denied a change of zoning to a "B-4" District, but were
granted an "AB" District with a Special Permit for a building with a height of 72 feet. In September
1997, the Special Permit was revised to allow a helipad on the roof of the building.
Zoning Inventory:
The existing "B-4" District adjacent and west of the subject property is confined to an area between
Morgan Avenue, Ocean Drive, Ayres Street and Third Street. This "B-4" area contains
approximately 22 acres and is developed predominately with medical related uses. The "AB"
District north of the subject property is occupied by the medical facility, Abdominal Surgery of
South Texas. South of the subject property is "AB" District property with a special permit that is
developed as a five (5) story Spohn pavilion/garage structure with a helipad on the roof. The "B2"
District to the east along Ocean Drive is developed with a hotel on its north end and a high-rise
condominium on its south end.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
fi:om an "A-i" Apartment House District to a "I~3" Heavy Industrial District in order to
construct a 6-story occupied building with a maximum overall height of 104 feet fi:om
average grade level of the building and to relocate the helipad at this site currently located
at the Spohn pavilion/garage south of the subject property. The proposed building would
occupy the subject property and part of the adjacent parking lot to the west. A multi-level
medical facility will be constructed and connected to the north side of the existing Spohn
pavilion/garage. There are no proposed driveway access points fi:om the subject property
onto Ocean Drive, an arterial. All access to the subject property is proposed from Elizabeth
Street during this development phase.
The Zoning Ordinance requires an "1-3" District for airports and landing strips and permits
a hospital with unlimited height. The applicant was required to apply for the "1-3" District
that would accommodate the roof helipad and the proposed 6-story (104 feet fi:om average
grade of building) hospital. The apphcant is actually seeking a change of zoning to "AB"
with a Special Permit to allow a hospital with a height of 104 feet and a roof helipad. The
"AB" District allows for hospitals and independent medical office uses with a maximum
height of 60 feet. The proposed structure exceeds the permitted height of the "AB" District
by 44 feet. The extension of the "AB" District with a special permit for a 6-story (104 feet
from average grade of bnilding) hospital with a roofhelipad is consistent with the Southeast
Area Development Plan's recommended land use and existing development pattern along
Ocean Drive. In lieu of an "I-3" District, an "AB" Dislrict to allow the hospital building with
a Special Permit to accommodate the additional building height and rooftop helipad is
recommended. Any adverse impacts from the helipad would pertain to the noise. Since this
use provides an emergency service and meets a public need, a higher level of noise tolerance
is acceptable, and the flight patterns will not change fi:om the current flight patterns onto the
existing helipad.
Zoning Report
Case No. 0302-03 (Chrisms Spohn Health System)
Page 4
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements cannot be supportive of the requested "I-3" District. The
Southeast Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to
develop with professional office development. The "AB" District with a special permit for
a 5-story (98 feet) hospital with a rooftop helipad is consistent with the Plan's recommended
land uses.
Potential Housing Density: An "A-I" District permits a density of 21.78 dwelling units per
acre or 9 units on the subject property. The "AB" District permits a density of 36.30
dwelling units per acre or 16 units on the subject property. The "1-3" District does not permit
residential uses other than a caretaker's quarters associated w/th an "1-3" permitted use.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: The "A-1" District requires a front yard setback of twenty (20)
feet and a side and rear yard of five (5) feet each for single-family and duplex uses and ten
(10) feet each for the first floor of a multi-family use plus five (5) feet for each additional
story, but not to exceed twenty (20) feet. An "AB" District requires a front yard setback of
twenty (20) feet and a side and rear yard setback often (10) feet each. Both the "A-i" and
"AB" Districts limit the building height to 45 feet not to exceed three (3) stories. Hospitals
in an "AB" District are permitted a height of 60 feet. The "1-3" District does not have a
height requirement.
Signage: An "A-I" District permits a wall sign with an area of thirty (30) square feet if the
property has a street frontage of less than 100 feet or forty (40) square feet if the property has
a street frontage of more than 100 feet. A freestanding sign maybe substituted in lieu of the
wall sign. The "AB" District permits wall signage at four (4) square feet per tenant not to
exceed twenty (20) square feet. One fi'eestand'mg sign is also allowed not to exceed an area
of twenty (20) square feet and height of six (6) feet. Signage in the "I-3" District is unlimited,
provided it is located behind the front yard setback. Freestanding signs in the front yard
setback are limited to one sign per street frontage with a sign area of 40 square feet and a
height of 25 feet.
Traffic: The subject property fronts Ocean Drive with proposed access to Elizabeth Street,
a collector, without traversing a residential area. The proposed hospital pavilion could
generate approximately 1,678 daily trip ends in the area, thus increasing traffic volume along
Elizabeth Street and connecting street systems.
Parking/Screening: The hospital is required to provide one parking space for each three (3)
patient beds. Compliance with the parking regulations will be required before a certificate
of occupancy can be issued. The subject property does not have residential adjacency,
therefore a screening fence is not required
Costs to City: All of the intiastmctures required to serve the needs of the subject property are
in place. There are no costs to theCity.
Platting: The subject property is a platted lot and further replatting is not required.

Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
a) None.
Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
a)
The requested "I-3" District is not consistent with the adopted Southeast Area Development
Plan.
b)
The requested additional building height and helipad use could be allowed through a Special
Permit.
c) Traffic volume along Ocean Drive and Elizabeth Street will increase.
Staff Recommendation: Denial of the "I-3" District, and lieu thereof approve an "AB" District, with
a Special Permit for a 6-story (104 feet from average grade of building) hospital with a roofhelipad
subject to a site plan and the following conditions:
USES: The only uses permitted by this Special Permit other than those uses
permitted by fight in the "AB" Professional Office District is an emergency medical
helipad. The helipad must be used for medical emergency purposes only and shall
be the only helipad on the hospital premises.
HEIGHT: The height of the hospital must not exceed a height of 104 feet from the
average grade level of the six (6) story building.
RESTRICTED AIRSPACE: Helicopter flight operations shall be conducted in a
manner that minimizes noise during approaches and departures (takeoffs and
landings) to the helipad. Overflight of Marina Del Sol Condominium Addition,
Block 1, Lot 3, is prohibited lower than 500 feet from the earth's surface for so long
as such property's residentially occupied in accordance with the zoning ordinance of
the City of Corpus Christi.
TIME LIMIT: Such Special Permit shall be deemed to have expired within one (1)
year of the date of this ordinance unless the property is being used as outlined in
Condition #1 and in compliance with all other conditions.

REQUEST:
"A-I" Apartment-Tourist to "I-3" Industrial District on propen'y described as Ocean
View Addition, Block I, Lots 4, 5 and 6, located on the west side of Ocean Drive
approximately 150 feet south of Morgan Avenue.
Mr. Saldafia presented a computerized shde illustration of the subject property and the
surrounding area. He said that the existing "B-4" District adjacent and west of the subject property is
confined to an area between Morgan Avenue, Ocean Drive, Ayres Street and Third Street. This "B4" area
contains approximately 22 acres and is developed predommately with medical related uses. The "AB"
District north of the subject property is occupied by the medical facility, Abdominal Surgery of South
Texas. South of the subject property is "AB" District property with a special permit that is developed as a
five (5) story Spohn Pavilion/garage structure with a helipad on the roof. The "B2" District to the east
along Ocean Drive is developed with a hotel on its north end and a high-rise condominium on its south end.
Mr. Saldafia said that the applicant has requested a change of zoning fi.om an "A-I" Apartment
House District to a '%3" Heavy Industrial District in order to construct a 5-story (98~feet from ground
level) surgical building and to relocate the helipad at this site currently located at the Spolm pavilion/garage
south of the subject property. The proposed building would occupy the subject property and part of the
adjacent parking lot to the west. A multi-level medical facility will be coustmcted and connected to the
north side of the existing Spolm pavilion/garage. The ground level will serve as the Emergency
Department, the second and third floor will provide for 24 ICU beds each, the fourth and fifth floor will
provide for 28 Telemetry Step-Down Nursing Units each, and the roof area will house the relocated helipad
area. There are no proposed driveway access points from the subject property onto Ocean Drive, an
arterial. All access to the subject property is proposed from Elizabeth Street during this development
phase.
The Zoning Ordinance requires an "I-Y' District for airports and landing strips and permits a
hospital with unlimited.height. The applicant was required to apply for the "I-3" District that would
accommodate the helipad and the proposed 5-story (98 fee0 hospital. The applicant is actually seeking a
change of zoning to "AB" with a Special Permit to allow a hospital with a height of 98 feet and a roof
helipad. The "AB" District allows for hospitals and independent medical office uses with a maximum
height of 60 feet. The proposed structure exceeds the permitted height of the "AB" District by 38-feet.
The extension of the "AB" District with a special permit for a 5-story (98 feet) hospital with a roof helipad
is consistent with the Southeast Area Development Plan's recommended land uae and existing development
pattern along Ocean Drive. In lieu of an "I-Y' District, an "AB" District to allow the hospital building with
a Special Permit to accommodate the additional building height and rooftop helipad is recommended. Any
adverse impacts from the helipad would pertain to the noise. Since this use provides an emergency service
and meets a public need, a higher level of noise tolerance is acceptable, and the flight patterns will not
change from the current flight patterns onto the existing helipad.
The Southeast Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to
develop with professional office development. The "AB" D/strict with a special permit for a S-story (98
feet) hospital with a rooftop helipad is consistent with the Plan's recommended land uses.
Staff's recommendation is for denial of the "I-Y' District, and lieu thereof approve an "AB"
District, with a Special Pennlt for a 5-story (98 feet) hospital with a roof helipad subject to a site plan and
the following conditions:
1. USES: The only uses permitted by this Special Permit other than those uses permitted by right in the
"AB" Professional Office District is an emergency medical helipad. The helipad must be used for
medical emergency purposes only and shall be the only helipad on the hospital premises.
2. HEIGHT: The height of the hospital most not exceed a height of 98 above the ftrst finished floor level
or five (5) stories, whichever is less.

3. RESTRICTED AIRSPACE: Helicopter flight operations shall be conducted in a manner that
minimizes noise during approaches and departures (takeoffs and landings) to the helipad. Overflight
of Marina Del Sol Condominium Addition, Block 1, Lot 3, is prohibited lower than 500 feet from the
earth's surface for so long as such properly's residentially occupied in accordance with the zoning
ordinance of the City of Corpus Christi.
4. TIME LIMIT: Such Special Permit shall be deemed to have expired within one (1) year of the date of
this ordinance unless the property is being used as outlined in Condition #1 and in compliance with all
other conditions.
There were six (6) notices mailed to proper~T owners within a 200-foot radius of which none were
returned in favor and none were returned in opposition. The applicant submitted letter in support.
Chairman Berlanga asked how the noise level would affect the abdominal specialist next door to
the helipad. Mr. Saldaha said that a notification letter was sent to the owners of the property containing the
abdominal specialist, however, they did not submit a letter in opposition to the rezoning request.
Commissioner Richter asked for an explanation of the flight path. Mr. Saldafia said that from a
previous zoning case, information was received that the flight path the helicopters used major
thoroughfares to access the helipad. Staff's concern was how the nearby residences would be affected.
Comrmssioner Richter said that future development of the C C Glasscock Bayfront property could develop
into a condominium and be affected by the aspects of the helipad. Commissioner Pusley expressed similar
Chakman Berlanga opened the public hearing.
Robert Butler, Senior Vice President of Chrisms Spohn Health System, explained that the Pavilion
houses several outpatient services. Addressing concerns of the flight path, Mr. Buffer said that the
helicopter lands into the wind which is usually coming from the south. He said that the property owners of
the Marina Del Sol did not object to the helipad. He said that he could not address future development of
the CC Glasscock Bayfront. He explained that the approach is from the north and would remain fi'om the
north. The use of the helipad is usually only 20 times per year and usually at night. Mr. Butler added that
he spoke with the abdominal specialist who did not have any objections. The City requested a letter from
abdominal specialist which was drafled by Mr. Butler to close the alley, but to date the City has not
received the request. Mr. Butler said that the proposed building would include six stories and that the
helipad needed to be moved to be over the proposed area for the new emergency room He explained that
there needs to be a fuel containment, as required by the Federal Aviation Association, in the area, but there
would not be any storage of fuel in the area.
Public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Richter asked if Spohn would object to the 500-feet overflight restriction. Mr.
Butler said that he does not think it would be a problem Commissioner Richter asked whether the
applicant would be hindered by a condominium development. Mr. Buffer said that the developer would
need to work around the hospital.
Commissioner Smith said that as a former pilot, he did not believe there was any problem with
moving the helipad 150 feet and that he would support Staff's recommendation.
Corunnssion recommended changing the Special Permit language to reflect a six (6) story
hospital, changing the height to the appropriate height restriction for s/x (6) stories with a helipad, and
adding language to provide the same consideration for any development on the C C Glasscock Bayf~ont
proper~ as given to the Marina Del Sol development.

Zoning Report
Case No. 0302-05 (Medical Square Ltd.)

Zoning Inventory:
The subject property is the only "AB" District remaining along the Northwest Boulevard area from
US Highway 77 to Wildcat Drive. Approximately 86.55 acres of "B-4" Dislxict property exist
immediately north, south and east of the subject property. The "B~4" District area is predominantly
developed with a mixture of uses such as a hospital, medical and non-medical offices and a variety
of retail uses. Northwest of the subject property and across Northwest Boulevard is approximately
69.79 acres of land zoned a "R-1B' District and developed with a public high school.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
from an "AB" Professional Office District to a "B-4" General Business District in order to
allow a pharmacy and retail uses in conjunction with the medical and non-medical office uses
existing within the facility. The property is improved with four (4) one-story buildings,
totaling 13,513 square feet, and is leased to professional office use tenants. West of the
subject property is a hospital and medical related uses. East of the subject property is a
variety of commercial uses such as a convenience store, fast-food restaurants and retail uses.
Across Northwest Boulevard to the north is a bank and shopping center. Northwest of the
subject property across Northwest Boulevard is Callallen High School. The subject property
has direct access to an arterial, Northwest Boulevard and should have minimal impact to the
street system. The Northwest Area Development Plan recommends the corridor of the
Northwest Boulevard to develop with general commercial and medical uses. The requested
"B-4" District is an expansion of the adjacent "B-4" District to the east and west.
Confomfity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "B-4" District because of
the subject property's direct access to an arterial without traversing a residential area. The
Northwest Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to
develop with general commercial and medical uses. The requested "B-4" District is
consistent with the Plan's recommended land use.
Potential Housing Density: The "AB" and "B-4" Districts permit a density of 36.30 dwelling
units per acre or fifty-six (56) units on the subject property. The change in zoning will not
affect the permitted residential density.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: The "AB" and "B-4" Districts, require a front yard setback of
twenty (20) feet. The required side and rear yard setbacks in an "AB" District are ten (10)
feet each. There are no required side or rear yard setbacks in the "B-4" Districts unless
adjacent to a residential district, where a setback often (10) feet will be required along that
adjacency. Building heights are limited to 45 feet not to exceed three (3) stories in an "AB"
DistriCt. There are no building height limitations in the "B-4" District.
Zoning Report
Case No. 0302-05 (Medical Square Ltd.)
Page 4
Pros:
a)
b)
c)
Signage: An "AB" District permits wall signage at four (4) square feet per tenant not to
exceed twenty (20) square feet and a freestanding sign with a sign area of 20 square feet with
a height of six (6) feet. Signs in the "B-4" District are unlimited provided they are located
behind the front yard setback. Freestanding signs within the front yard are limited to one
freestanding sign per street frontage with a sign area of forty (40) square feet and a height of
25 feet.
Traffic. A specialty retail use could generate approximately 549 daily trip ends. The adjacent
arterial is designed to handle large volumes of traffic and the proposed uses will not
adversely impact the surrounding street system.
Parking/Screening: A retail or medical office establishment is required to provide one
off-street parking space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area. The 13,513 square foot
medical office building is required to provide sixty-eight (68) off-street parking spaces.
Conversion of the entire building to a non-medical use would require a parking ratio of
one-off street parking space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area, totaling 55 spaces.
Compliance with the parking regulations will be required before a Certificate of Occupancy
can be issued. A standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet is
required when a business or industrial use locates adjacent to a residential district. Since the
subject property has no residential adjacency, there is no required screening fence.
Costs to City: All of the infrastructure required to serve the subject property is in place and
there are no anticipated costs to the City.
Platting: The subject property contains one (1) platted lot and further replatting is not
required.
(Ideas in support of the request.)
The requested "B-4" District is an expansion of the existing "B-4" District to the east and
west.
The requested "B-4" District is consistent with the Northwest Area Development Plan's future
land use plan that supports general commercial and medical uses along the Northwest
Boulevard corridor.
The subject property has direct access to an arterial, Northwest Boulevard, and will not
adversely impact the street system.

improved with four (4) one-story buildings, totaling 13,513 square feet, and is leased to professional office
use tenants. West of the subject property is a hospital and medical related uses. East of the subject property
is a variety of commercial uses such as a convenience store, fast-food restaurants and retail uses. Across
Northwest Boulevard to the north is a bank and shopping center. Northwest of the subject properly across

commercial and medical uses. The requested "B-4" District is an expansion of the adjacent "B4" District
to the east and west.
The Northwest Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING- ZONING (City Council Action Date: April 23, 2002)
Case No. 0302-06~ Meyer & Garza Properties~ Ltd: A change of zoning from an "A-I" Apartment
House District to an "AB" Professional Office District on South end, Block 1, Lot J, mid 50 feet of East ½ of
Lots 4-J, Lot M, North ~ of South ~ of West ¼ of Lot 4-M, and Lot N, South ~ of South ¼ of West ½ of Lot 4,
located between South Carancahua and South Tancahua Street, north of Coleman Street.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation (03/27/02): Approval.
Requested Council Action: Approval of the "AB" Professional Office District and adoption of the
attached ordinance.
Purpose of Request: For professional office building and parking.
Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from an "A-I" Apartment House District to an "AB"
Professional Office District in order to lease Tract 1 as professional offices and to provide additional parking spaces
on Tract 2.
Tract 1 is located along South Tancahna Street and Tract 2 along South Carancahua Street, both being arterial
streets. Tract 1 and 2 are adjacent to "AB" District property to the north that is developed with numerous
professional offices and a private school use. To the south is property zoned with an "A-l" Dis~ict where a 2-story
apartment complex is located. Across South Tancahua Street from Tract 1 is an attorney's office in an "AB" Distxict.

District on these properties would be consistent with the existing "AB!' zoning and uses to the north. With Tract 1
and 2 having access to an arterial, traffic generated by the office uses would not adversely impact the surrounding
properties.
Applicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning Commission and Staff's recommendation.

within a 200-foot radius, of which one ( 1 ) was returned in favor and none in opposition. The applicant/owner of thc

Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
from an "A-1" Apartment House District to an "AB" Professional Office District in order to
lease Tract 1 as professional offices and to provide additional parking spaces on Tract 2.
Tract 1 is located along South Tancahua Street and Tract 2 along South Carancahua Street,
both being arterial streets. Tract 1 and 2 are adjacent to "AB" District property to the no~h
that is developed with numerous professional offices and a private school use. To the
south is property zoned with an "A- 1" District where a 2-story apartment complex is located.
Across South Tancahua Street from Tract 1 is an attorney's office in an "AB" District. East
of Tract 2, across South Carancahua Street is a high-rise condominium.
The South Central Area Development Plan recommends this area transition from residential
to low and mid-rise office uses. The requested "AB" District and proposed use is consistent
with the Plan's recommendation. An "AB" District on these properties would be consistent
with the existing "AB" zoning and uses to the north. With Tract 1 and 2 having access to an
arterial, traffic generated by the office uses would not adversely impact the surrounding
properties.
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "AB" District. The South
Central Area Development Plan recommends the area to develop with apartments and mid-to
low-rise office uses. The requested "AB" District is consistent with the Plan's recommended
land use.
Potential Housing Density: An "A-I" District permits a density of 21.78 dwelling units per
acre or nine (9) dwelling units on the subject property. The "AB" District permits a density
of 36.30 dwelling units per acre or fifteen (15) dwelling units on the subject property.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: The "A-I" District requires a t~ont yard setback of twenty (20)
feet with a side and rear yard setback for multiple-family uses often (10) feet each plus five
(5) feet for each additional floor above the first. An "AB" District requires a front yard
setback of twenty (20) feet with a side and rear yard setback often (10) feet each. Both
districts limit the building heights to 45 feet not to exceed three (3) stories.
Signage: Signs in an "A-I" District are limited to one wall sign with an area of thirty (30)
square feet. If the property contains ten (10) or more dwelling units, one monument sign
with a height often (10) feet and a sign area of twenty (20) square feet may be permitted in
lieu of the wall sign. The "AB" District permits wall signage at four (4) square feet per
tenant not to exceed twenty (20) square feet and a freestanding sign with a sign area of 20
square feet and a height of six (6) feet.

Case No. 0302-06 (Meyer and Garza Properties, Ltd.)
Page 5
Traffic: Tracts 1 and 2 have direct access to arterials, South Tancahua and South Carancahua
Streets. The proposed office use will not generate sufficient traffic to adversely impact the
adjoining properties.
Parking/Screening: A non-medical office use is required to provide one off-sWeet parking
space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area. A medical office use is required to provide
one off-street parking space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area. Compliance with
the parking regulations will be required before a certificate of occupancy can be issued. A
screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet is required when a business or
industrial use locates adjacent to a residential district. Since Tract 1 has residential
adjacency, a screening fence will be required along its south property line.
Costs to City: All of the infi~astmcture required to serve the subject properly is available and
no costs to the City are anticipated.
Platting: The subject property contains two (2) platted lots and further replatting is not
required.
Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
a)
The subject property is located in an area bound by apartments, a school and professional
offices.
b)
The requested "AB" District is consistent with the adopted South Central Area Development
Plan.
Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning)
a) Approval of the "AB" District could domino onto the adjacent properties to the south.
Staff Recommendation:
Approval.

Meyer and Garza Properties, Ltd.: 0302-06
REQUEST:
"A-I" Apartment Dstrict to "AB" Professional Office District on property described as
South End, Block 1, Lot J, mid 50 feet of east ½ of Lots 4-J, Lot M, north ¼ of south ~
of west V, of Lot 4-M, and Lot N, south '/2 of west ½ of Lot 4, located between South
Carancahua and South Tancahua Street, north of Coleman Street.
Mr. Saldafia presented a computerized slide illustration of the subject property and the
surrounding area. The subject property is a portion of a 4.52-acre area zoned an "A-l" District and
developed with a mixture of single-family residences, apartments and high-rise condominilmas. West of
Tract 1, across South Tancahua Street is an area containing 23.42 acres of land zoned a "A-l" District and
developed with a park, single-family residences and apartment uses. Directly west of Tract 1 across South
Tancahua Street is a 0.60-acre area zoned with a "AB" Disthct. North of Tract 1 and 2 is 1.52 acres of
"AB" District property and to the south 1.17 acres of"A-2" District property.
Mr. Saldafia said that the applicant has requested a change of zoning fi:om an "AA" Apartment
House District to an "AB" Professional Office District in order to lease Tract 1 as professional offices and
to provide additional parking spaces on Tract 2.
Tract 1 is located along South Tancahua Street and Tract 2 along South Carancahua Street, both
being arterial streets. Tract 1 and 2 are adjacent to "AB" District property to the north that is developed
with numerous professional offices and a private school use. To the south is property zoned with an
"A-1" District where a 2-story apartment complex is located. Across South Tancahua Street fi:om Tract 1 is
an attorney's office in an "AB" Dish-ict. East of Tract 2, across South Carancahua Street is a high-rise
condominium.
The South Central Area Development Plan recommends this area transition fi:om residential to low and
mid-rise office uses. The requested "AB" District and proposed use is consistent with the Plan's
recommendation. An "AB" District on these properties would be consistent with the existing "AB" zoning
and uses to the north. With Tract 1 and 2 having access to an arterial, traffic generated by the office uses
would not adversely impact the surrounding properties. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the
rezoning request.
There were 57 nolices mailed to property owners of which one (1) was in favor and none were
received in opposition. The applicant also submitted a letter supporting the request.
Chairman Berlanga opened the public hearing.
Bobby Jo Meyer, applicant, said that there is a fo~-plex on the "A-I" DisttSct property and there
are no plans to change the zoning. The vacant property is needed for parking.
Public hearing was closed.
comrmssioner Pusley, Commissioner Sween~McGloin, to forward a recommendation for approval
of the "AB" Professional Office District. Motion passed with Zamora and Minas being absent.

the site to receive city water services and for future church expansions. Current structures on the property include a
one-story concrete church building with 8,703 square feet and two, one-story wood frame buildings with 592 square

that time, Staff indicated that condominium uses were preferred along the east side of State Highway 361 and that
low density residential should be maintained on the west side of State Highway 361. It is Staffs recommendation
that the "AT" Apartment Tourist District be denied and that the "RE" Residential Estate District be approved for the
subject property. The "RE" District permits a church, as well as provides for low-density residential development,
as supported by staff.

Zoning History of Property:
In December 1999, as part of a larger area, the subject property was annexed into the City and zoned
an "F-R" District.
Recent Surrounding Zoning Cases:
In December 1999, properties northwest of State Highway 361 and north of Mustang Island State
Park were annexed into the city and zoned an "AT" District to the north and a "FR" District
northwest of State Highway 361.
In December 2001, Mustang Island State Park east of the subject property was annexed into the city
and zoned an "R-lB" District.
Zoning Inventory:
The subject property is part of a 15.28-acre tract of land that is zoned an "F-PC' District that is mostly
undeveloped except for the church along located along SH 361. West and south of the subject
property is a tract of land containing over 500 acres of undeveloped land zoned an "F-PC' District.
North and across SH 361 to the west of the subject property, there is over 1500 acres of land zoned
an "R-lB" District and is part of the Mustang Island Park.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
fi-om an "F-PC' Farm Rural District to an "AT" Apartment Tourist District in order to reduce
the lot size for platting purposes. Plans for the property include platting the site to receive
city water services and for future church expansions. Current structures on the property
include a one-story concrete church building with 8,703 square feet and two, one-story wood
flame buildings with 592 square feet and 562 square feet. The subject property is located on
the west side of State Highway 361, a rural arterial, and west of Mustang Island State Park.
The existing "F-PC' District and proposed "AT" District permit a church use. During the
1999 and 2001 annexation proceedings for Mustang Island, staff recommended and the City
Council supported an "AT" District between State Highway 361 and the Gulf of Mexico
shoreline for private property. At that time, Staff indicated that condominium uses were
preferred along the east side of State Highway 361 and that low density residential should
be maintained on the west side of State Highway 361. It is StafI's recommendation that the
"AT" Apartment Tourist District be denied and that the "RE" Residential Estate District be
approved for the subject property. The "RE" District permits a church, as well as provides
for low-density residential development, as supported by staff.
Zoning Report
Case No. 0302-07 (Island In The Son, U.M.C.)
Page 4
Land Use Compatibility: Overall, Staff does not support the requested "AT" District, but can
be supportive of the "RE" District on the west side of State Highway 361 which provides for
low-density development.
Potential Housing Density: An "F-R" DishSct permits a density of one dwelling unit per five
(5) acres, however the subject property is less than five (5) acres and a residence is not
permitted. The "RE" District permits a density of one (1) dwelling units per acre or four (4)
units on the subject property. The "AT" District permits a density of 36.30 dwelling units
per acre or 217 units on the subject property.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc: There are no setback requirements or building height limitations
in the "F-R" District. A front setback of fifty (50) feet is required in the "RE" District with
a side and rear yard of twenty-five (25) feet each. Buildings in the "RE" District are limited
to a height of 35 feet, not to exceed three (3) stories. However, churches in a "RE" District
may have a height not to exceed seventy-five (75) feet when the required side and rear yards
are each increased by at least one foot for each one foot of additional building height above
the height regulations for the district in which the building is located. The "AT" District
requires a front yard setback of not less than 20 feet. Side and rear yard setbacks for
single-family and duplex uses are five (5) feet each and ten (10) feet each for one-story multi-
family structures, plus five (5) feet for each additional story not to exceed thirty (30) feet.
Other uses in the "AT" District require a minimum often (10) feet for each side and rear
yard setback.
Signage: The "F-R" District does not permit any signs unless to advertise products grown
on the property. Churches in the "RE" District are allowed one (1) bulletin identification
sign not to exceed thirty (30) square feet. Wall signs in the "AT" District are permitted to
have sixty (60) square feet in area and properties with more than 100 feet of street frontage
are allowed one additional square foot of sign area for each linear foot over 100 feet up to
a maximum of 260 square feet. One freestanding sign with an area of sixty (60) square feet
and a height of twenty (20) feet is permitted. Existing sign(s) exceeding the area requirement
of the zoning district are nonconforming since the sign were existing prior to annexation.
Traffic: The proposed church development is estimated to generate approximately 293
average Sunday vehicle trip ends. This traffic will access directly to a rural arterial, State
Highway 361. The amount of traffic generated from the church use will not adversely impact
the area.
Parking/Screening: Churches are required to provide one (1) parking space per five (5) seats
or bench seating in the main place of assembly. Residential development is required to
provide 1.5 off-street parking spaces for each one bedroom dwelling trait or two (2) off-street
parking spaces for each dwelling unit containing two (2) bedrooms or more. Compliance
with the off-street parking regulations will be required during the permitting phase. A
standard screening fence is not required for residential development.

· Costs to City: Infrastructure to the subject property will be at the developer's expense. There
are no anticipated costs to the City.
· Platting: The subject property is a portion of a platted lot and a replat of the property is
proposed once final action on the zoning has occurred.
Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
a) The requested "AT" District is not consistent with zoning patterns supported in the 1999 and
2001 annexation, however the "RE" District provides for low density development and
supports the annexation zoning pattern.
b) The subject property has direct access to a rural arterial, State Highway 361.
Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
a) None.
Staff Recommendation:
Denial of the requested "AT" District and approval of a "RE" District on the subject property.

Island In The Son, U.M.C.: 0302-07
REQUEST:
"F-R" Farm-Rural District to "AT" Apartment-Tourist District Being 4.99 acres of land
out of Tracts B and C Mustang Island, located on the west side of State Highway 361,
north of Packery Channel and south of Newport Pass.
Mr. Saldafia presented a computerized slide illustration of the subject property and the
surrounding area. He said that the subject property is part of a 15.28-acre tract of land that is zoned an "F-
R" District that is mostly undeveloped except for the church along located along SH 361. West and south
of the subject property is a tract of land containing over 500 acres of undeveloped land zoned an "F-R"
District. North and across SH 361 to the west of the subject property, there is over 1500 acres of land
zoned an "R-lB" District and is part of the Mustang Island Park.
Mr. Saldafia said that the applicant has requested a change of zoning from an "F-R" Farm Rural
District to an "AT" Apartment Tourist District in order to reduce the lot size for platting purposes. Plans for
the property include platting the site to receive city water services and for future church expansions.
Current structures on the property include a one-story concrete church building with 8,703 square feet and
two, one-story wood frame buildings with 592 square feet and 562 square feet. The subject property is
located on the west side of State Highway 361, a rural arterial, and west of Mustang Island State Park. The
existing "F-R" District and proposed "AT" District permit a church use. During the 1999 and 2001
annexation proceedings for Mustang Island, staff recommended and the City Council supported an "AT"
District between State Highway 361 and the Gulf of Mexico shoreline for private property. At that time,
Staff indicated that condominium uses were preferred along the east side of State Highway 361 and that
low density residential should be maintained on the west side of State Highway 361. It is Staffs
recommendation that the "AT" Apartment Tourist District be denied and that the "RE" Residential Estate
District be approved for the subject property. The "RE" District permits a church, as well as provides for
Iow-density residential development, as supported by staff. Staff does not support the requested "AT"
Dish'ich but can be supportive of the "RE" District on the west side of State Highway 361 which provides
for low-density development.
Staff recommends denial of the requested "AT" District and approval of a "RE" District on the
subject property.
Mr. Saldafia reiterated that due to sensitive nature of the area, Staff has said that all areas east of
State Highway 361 would contain the condos, the area west which contain wetlands and environmentally
sensitive, Staff wanted to have a less intense district. The "AT" District is too intense for the area,
therefore, Staff believes that the "RE" District would be more appropriate for the area and has a minimum
of one acre lots.
There were 12 notices mailed to property owners within 200 feet of which one (1) was received in
favor and none were received in opposition. The applicant also submitted a letter in favor.
Commissioner Richter asked about expansion plans for the church. Mr. Saldafia said that the
applicant has more area than the church. There is room for futm-e additions to the church also additional
parking, comnUssioner Richter asked how staff could encourage development with other materials. Mr.
Saldafia said that if there are more than 4 required parking spaces, the parking needs to be asphalt.

Proposed Adjustments to the Current City of Corpus Christi Single
Member District Lines
April 19, 2002
In 1983, the Corpus Christi City Council approved the 5-3-1 Single Member District Plan
in effect today. Due to major population shifts reported in the 1990 Census, the plan was
reevaluated and the distdct lines were redrawn. The Corpus Christi City Charter requires
the population among districts to be equalized. Because of the 2000 Census data and City
Charter requirements, a new plan must be recommended by the City Council for submittal
to the United States Department of Justice for subsequent approval. Therefore, attached
for your consideration are proposed adjustments to the current single member district lines
that I am recommending.
Various factors or guidelines were considered and incorporated into the adjusted single
member district plan. These factors included the "ten percent rule", areas of population
growth and decline, and modifications to each district to reflect a similar minority
percentage as approved in the 1983 plan.
Since the Justice Department requires the City to demonstrate solicitation of public
response to the Redistricting Plan, two public hearings were held dudng the month of April.
Publication of the public hearings were posted in the newspaper. In addition, the
"government channel" and the City website were utilized for informing the public. Large
maps were also displayed in City Hall with informational packets available in the City
Secretary's Office and public libraries.
In addition, packets of public information were sent to specific special interest groups.
These included the following: LULAC, League of Women Voters, NAACP, MALDEF,
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Corpus Chdsti Chamber of Commerce, Black Chamber
of Commerce, Neighborhood and Business Associations as well as the Plaintiffs in the
original single member district lawsuit filed against the City.
Following approval of the plan, a submission to the U.S. Department of Justice will occur
shortly thereafter. A response from the Department of Justice requesting additional
information, approving or denying the plan would following in approximately 60 days. A
contingency of several months has been built into the plan if additional information is
requested or denial occurs.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the ordinance as presented.

CiTY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting on April 23, 2002
AGENDA ITEM:
A resolution authorizing an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2001-2002 Park and
Recreation Department Fee Schedule, pursuant to Section 36-7 of the Code of
Ordinances, by adding Marina Promotional Programs; and providing for severance.
ISSUES:
The current Park and Recreation Department Fee Schedule does not have language
to allow the municipal Marina to run marketing promotions. Consequently, the Marina
is unable to respond to economic trends within the boating community by providing
special opportunities for Marina customers to pay rates other than as exist in the current
Fee Schedule. Adding this new section will provide that marketing tool.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
The City Council previously approved the current Schedule of Proposed Fees and
Charges for Fiscal Year 2001-2002.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
The City Council must approve all new fees.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
Marco A. Cisneros,
Director of Park and Recreation
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT MATERIAL

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
BACKGROUND:
The current fee structure for the Marina provides no flexibility with regard to the pricing
of slip rentals, haul out fees, etc. Marina business is, to a certain extent, driven by
market demand as successful operations frequently require the ability to provide
innovative pricing mechanisms. Currently, the Marina has no method of responding to
market demand during the course of a fiscal year. By providing the ability to do market
promotions, the Marina will be able to respond more quickly to market demands and
provide incentives for customers to either do business where they had not before or
remain as customers of the Marina.
A RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 200t-2002
PARK AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT FEE SCHEDULE, PUR-
SUANT TO SECTION 36-7 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, BY
ADDING MARINA PROMOTIONAL PROGRAMS; AND PROVIDING
FOR SEVERANCE.
WHEREAS, Section 36-7 of the City Code requires council approval by motion or reso-
lution for any new recreational fees created;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS THAT:
SECTION 1. The City Council approves an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2001-2002
Park and Recreation Department Fee Schedule by adding marina promotional pro-
grams as follows:
"X. Marina
Marina Promotional Proqrams: The Park and Recreation Depart-
ment is authorized to conduct marina marketing promotionals, at
various times durinq the year, at the marina. Cost recovery will not
exceed 40% of the cost of youth proqrams, with reqard to the
marina marketing promotionals, other than as applied to the Latch-
key program."
SECTION 2. If, for any reason, any section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, phrase,
word or provision of this resolution shall be held invalid or unconstitutional by final judg-
ment of a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect any other section, paragraph,
subdivision, clause, phrase, word or provision of this resolution, for it is the definite in-
tent of the City Council that every section, paragraph, subdivision, phrase, word and

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Date: April 17, 2002
AGENDA ITEM: Motion approving a contract with Southwestern Bell Telephone Company for
universal emergency number service (E9-1-1) to be established during the month of May, 2002 for an
installation charge of$103,664.00 and an annual recurring cost of $197,174.40. Funds are available
from the General Fund - Police.
ISSUE: The City must enter into a contract with Southwestern Bell to provide E9-1-1 service within
the City after settling a lawsuit against the State to withdraw from the existing 9-1 - 1 contract with the
Council of Governments and the State.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 1997 the City filed notice of intent to withdraw from the
Coastal Bend Council of Governments Interlocal Agreement to provide 9-1-1 service to the City of
Corpus Christi and the other COG counties. Although the agreement was with COG and not with the
State of Texas, the State would not release the City and the City filed a lawsuit to withdraw. The
lawsuit was settled in favor of the City on November 12, 2001 with a six month transition period to
begin our own service. The transition period provides the City time to negotiate the contracts with
Southwestern Bell and allow Bell to modify their database so the City boundaries will dictate the
routing of911 calls for service. The six month transition period ends the week of May 12, and we
have planned a cutover to the new service on May 14. The proposed Contract is based on State
Tadffcharges and will be effective for 5 years depending on annual appropriations. Prior to the May
14t~ cutover date, additional contracts may be brought to the Council regarding 9-1-1 database
information as it pertains to wireless providers operating within the City limits.
FUNDING: Funds are available from the Police General Fund, 1020-11802
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of contract.
RECOMMENI)ATION: Staffrecommends approval of contract.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting - April 23, 2002
AGENDA ITEM:
A. Motion designating Landry's Restaurants, Inc. as the development team for
the City Marina Operations and Development Project.
B. Motion authorizing staff to proceed with the development of a Memorandum of
Understanding with Landry's Restaurants, Inc. for the City Marina Operations
and Development Project.
ISSUE:
The City has investigated many different opportunities to bring in outside partners to
work with some of the City operations that have traditionally been staffed and directed
with City staff. A Request for Proposals (RFP) for the City Marina was developed to
see what interests might exist from private parties to work with the City with respect to
the City Marina Operations and Development.
BACKGROUND:
The City needs a new vision for the management of the daily operations and
future commercial development of the City Marina. The intent of this RFP was to solicit
proposals from development teams that would have the experience and financial
capabilities to take the City Marina to the next level of development. The RFP's
objectives included the planning, financing and development of mixed-use,
waterfront commercial retail and/or entertainment center developments at the Marina.
Rather than continue to piecemeal the development leases for Marina property it is
recommended that the City consider approaching the ultimate development of the
Marina in a more comprehensive manner with the goal of establishing a partnership
between a development team and the City.
At the March 19, 2002 City Council meeting, in order to have a better understanding of
what the community thoughts might be concerning this project, the City Council
instructed staff to make more presentations on the Marina RFP to a greater variety of
community groups. This has been done throughout Corpus Christi. The responses
have been as diverse as the groups themselves.
The previously mentioned partnership would begin with the City Council's selection of
the City's development team. After that has been decided the new partners would
develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the selected development
team and the City. That MOU would serve as the background for the final lease
agreement for the project. The City Council would need to ultimately approve both the
Page 2
MOU and the final lease agreement at dates to be determined before the development
team could begin their work on the project.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
The City Council needs to select a development team related to the City Marina
Operations and Development Project. After that, the City Council would need to
authorize staff to develop a Memorandum of Understanding with Landry's Restaurants,
Inc. for the project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of the motions as presented.
