COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION: Motion approving the purchase of two brush loader trucks from
Bayou City Ford Truck Sales, Houston, Texas for the total amount of $165,824. The award is
based on the cooperative purchasing agreement with the Texas Local Government Purchasing
Cooperative (TLGPC). These brush loader trucks will be used by the Neighborhood Services
Department. Funds are budgeted in the Maintenance Service Capital Outlay Fund. Both units are
additions to the fleet.
Purpose:
Basis of Award:
These brush loader trucks will be used by the Neighborhood Services
Department as part of the Livable Neighborhoods Project. The project is a
new initiative implemented to improve the living conditions of many of
the City's neighborhoods. The trucks are configured with a chassis
mounted brush loader that provides a self contained unit that can load
debris onto the dump body and transport it to the landfill when full. As a
self contained unit, the trucks provide the department with the flexibility
of scheduling each unit independently of the other and also provides for a
backup dump truck in the event the loader on one of the trucks is
inoperable.
The trucks will be purchased through the cooperative purchasing
agreement with the TLGPC. TLGPC is administered by the Texas
Association of School Boards (TASB) and co-sponsored by the Texas
Municipal League (TML) and the Texas Association of Counties (TAC).
TLGPC acts as an independent agency awarding exclusive cooperative
purchasing contracts for its members.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Multi-Purpose Arena - (Project No. 4236)
BACKGROUND: This complex project has resulted in a number of Council and
administrative actions. A summary of the more significant actions is attached. See Exhibit
B.
Council approved the ranking of the firms on November 5, 2002. The proposal submitted
by Fulton-Coastcon, Corp., Joint Venture was determined to represent the best value. The
sealed proposals were received and opened on Monday, October 21, 2002. The
evaluation and ranking occurred within the 45 days required by the Local Government
Code (Section 271.118). The Local Government Code permits cities using the sealed
proposal process to negotiate with the selected firm options for scope and time
modifications and price changes.
Contract negotiations and value engineering resulted in a revised not to exceed price of
$34,232,798 for the Multipurpose Arena. This amount represents the realistic minimum
price that will result in all of the commitments made being fulfilled regarding design, quality,
and opening prior to the beginning of the 2004 basketball season. The total savings from
value engineering included in the contract awarded was $3,243,202. The specific
modifications negotiated did not impact the architectural design, finishes, functionality, and
public areas of the arena. The final contract price included $1,500,000 of mechanical
improvements for the Convention Center Expansion project resulting in a total contract
award of $35,732,798.
CHANGE ORDER No. 5: Change Order No. 5 provides for the purchase and installation
of the chiller unit and associated equipment for the ice rink. The contact as awarded
included the ice floor piping, controls, electrical, and flange connections for the chiller. The
chiller was not originally awarded as the Rayz had the option of the remaining in the
Coliseum. The change order summary and change order are attached. See Exhibit C.
FUNDING: The change order will be funded by the Arena CIP Fund.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
November 18, 2003
SUBJECT: Rincon Bayou Diversion (Projects No. 8379 & 8416)
Award of Contract for Biological Monitoring Services
AGENDA ITEM:
Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute Amendment No. 2 to a
contract with the University of Texas Marine Sciences Institute, in an amount not to exceed
$191,545 for biological monitoring services associated with the Rincon Bayou Diversion
Project.
ISSUE: The Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires biological
monitoring to evaluating the effects of the Rincon Bayou Diversion Project. The monitoring
will result in the data necessary to permit a determination of the project impact on primary
production, phytoplankton biomass, species abundance and diversity and emergent marsh
vegetation in the project area and nearby marshlands.
FUNDING: Funds for these contracts are available in the Environmental Studies activities
of the Water Department's FY2003-04 adopted Operating Budget.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Rincon Bayou Diversion (Projects No. 8379 & 8416)
Award of Contract for Biological Monitoring Services
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: See Exhibit B.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS: Council will be requested to approve amendments to
address monitoring on an annual basis for two additional years. TCEQ has also requested
monitoring of the effects of the Allison WWTP Diversion project be continued at a reduced
level for two additional years. That monitoring has been combined with the Rincon
monitoring due to the overlap of the data and to reduce monitoring costs.
The City has worked closely with the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ)
to develop a unified monitoring work program for the Rincon Diversion Project. The
frequency and amount of future amendments will be based on the requirements of the
Rincon Monitoring, and the level of monitoring required by Allison project, as determined by
an annual assessment.
The following monitoring will be performed:
· Primary production and phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll a) in marsh ponds and
channels will be measured and correlated with measured water column parameters.
· Biomass, species abundance and diversity of benthic infauna will be determined and
compared to relevant changes in water quality.
· Species composition, percent cover and plant canopy structure of emergent marsh
vegetation in Nueces Marsh will be quantified in relation to soil pore water salinity, soil
moisture and inorganic nitrogen levels (NH4* and NO3- + NO2') to assess changes in
macrophyte primary production due to freshwater diversion and natural water cycle
variations.
The University of Texas Marine Science Institute will deliver an annual written report by
December 31,2004 Each chapter will be based on the three tasks:
· Hydrography, Nutrients and Phytoplankton;
· Benthos; and
· Emergent Vegetation.
Each chapter will incorporate the results of the current year with that of prior year data.
Temporal and spatial comparisons that display significant correlations or patterns among
various parameters will be presented in graphic or tabular format. Comparisons with past
studies and other neighboring studies will be made where data exist. These annual reports
will be technical reports of the UT Marine Science Institute and will be submitted to the
City.

PROJECT OVERVIEW:
Background: The City's overall strategy for long-term water supply includes the
optimization of the existing freshwater resources in the Nueces River Basin. The
current operating plan for the Choke Canyon/Lake Corpus Christi reservoir system
includes requirements to provide freshwater inflow to the Nueces Estuary that
diminish the dependable water supply for the region. The City completed a two-
phased planning study that recommended the potential beneficial re-use of
wastewater effluents as a means of enhancing the productivity of the Nueces
Estuary that may alleviate part of the need to provide fresh water from the reservoir
system.
Monitoring: The biological and chemical evaluations being conducted will
document the effects of the wastewater effluent and freshwater diversions to the
Rincon Delta and Nueces Bay. The TCEQ requires that the effects of the discharge
of the Project be monitored for productivity by measuring changes in biomass and
growth rates of plant and animal communities in the Project area and nearby
wetlands.
CONSULTANTS INFORMATION: UTMSI has conducted similar on-going biological and
chemical monitoring in the Project area for the City or other agencies, such as the Corpus
Christi Port Authority. As a result, UTMSI is singularly qualified to continue the provide
monitoring Rincon Bayou Diversion Project for the duration of the Project in accordance
with the parameters established by the Cityand the TCEQ. The review and integration of
the various studies will be the responsibility of Alan Plummer Associates. That contract
provided the development of the unified monitoring program for the Rincon Diversion with
TCEQ.
TERM: UTMSI performed monitoring services beginning October 1, 2003 through
September 30, 2004.
FEES: The City will pay UT a fixed fee not to exceed $191,545 for providing all services.
This fee will be full and total compensation for all services provided and expenses incurred.

2. EXTENDING CHOKE CANYON RESERVOIR OUTLET WORKS GAGE DATA
Choke Canyon Rerservoir Outlet Works Channel Gaqe Outflow Record
Extension - HDR Engineering, Inc. developed and used the new outlet works
settings at Choke Canyon Reservoir to compute daily discharges flowing past the
Outlet Works Channel gage for not only the 1991 to 1999 period, but actually
extended records for the 1987 to June 2001 period of record. This task was to be
completed by the U. S. Geological Survey so that the resulting daily values could
be published by the U. S. Geological Survey as "official" gage record. The U. S.
Geological Survey was not comfortable enough with the data meeting government
standards and decided not to fulfill this request. This data was needed to complete
HDR's obligations under Phase I of Project No. 8335 and to complete tasks in the
Reservoir Operating Plan Update Project, Phase II related to developing more
accurate estimates of channel losses between Choke Canyon Reservoir and Three
Rivers. Therefore, HDR Engineering, Inc. completed this task for the U. S.
Geological Survey.

Quality Control and Verification of Accuracy of Release Rates - Because of the
importance of the use of the new streamflow data in determining the volume of
water lost on releases from Choke Canyon Reservoir and the impact of these losses
on the reliability of the City's water supply, a second analysis was performed to
insure the new estimates of streamfiow were accurate. This analysis consisted of
the preparation of a reservoir mass balance for eleven (11) release events from
Choke Canyon Reservoir during the 1987 to 2001 timeframe. This mass balance
used the beginning and ending lake elevations at Choke Canyon Reservoir and the
recent capacity survey data to obtain an estimate of the volume of water released
during each of the eleven (11 ) release events. The change in reservoir capacity
was adjusted for inflow, evaporation and precipitation that occurred during the
release event. The resulting release volume was then compared against the new
streamflow volumes to verify the accuracy of the newly computed streamfiow data.
This comparison validated the new streamflow values as accurate and indicated the
daily streamfiows computed by HDR Engineering, Inc. for the 1987 to 2001 period
to be reliable for use in the computation of channel losses.
3. EVALUATE CITY'S BACKUP GROUND WATER WELLS - Services performed beyond
the original scope of work include:
· Water quality analysis of the groundwater backup wells downstream of Lake Corpus
Christi.
· Water quality comparison of raw Nueces River water (at Mathis and at the O.N.
Stevens Intake) and Nueces River water combined with backup wells groundwater
(i.e. exercising the wells downstream of Lake Corpus Christi) to the drinking water
quality standards for three (3) key constituents (TDS, Chloride, and Bromide).
· Cost analyses of capital and operations and maintenance costs to rehabilitate
backup wells (both at Lake Corpus Christi and at Campbellton).
· Computed unit costs (in $/acft/year) of rehabilitating the backup wells in terms of
water supply added.
· Prepare and give a presentation of the finding to the City Council on December 18,
2001.
4. NUECES ESTUARY ADVISORY COUNCIL, RINCON DIVERSION PROJECT,
DROUGHT ANALYSIS - The Engineer will provide professional engineering services to
assist the City with the Rincon Diversion Project. The Engineer will perform hydrologic
modeling to support the City's negotiations with the Nueces Estuary Advisory Council. The
Engineer will also support City Staff in preparation of hydrologic modeling regarding the
predicted responses of the City's raw water supply system to current and possible future
drought conditions in South Texas. The Engineer will prepare data as requested by the
City Attorney, City Manager, City Engineer, and/or Water Superintendent. The Engineer
will coordinate with other City consultants and its sub-consultants as directed by the City
Attorney.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
November 18, 2003
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution recognizing the public necessity of acquiring utility and
construction easements for the Buckingham Estates Lift Station & Fome Main Diversion
Project (#7117), for utility and other municipal purposes in connection with said project; and
authorizing acquisition by means of negotiations or eminent domain proceedings by the
City of Corpus Christi or its agents in acquiring said easements.
ISSUE:. Preparations are underway for acquisition of utility and construction easements
along the route shown on Exhibit B, both necessary for a new force main and effluent
pipeline. This project also involves rehab of the existing Buckingham Lift Station located
at the west corner of the intersection of South Staples and Yorktown Boulevard. On
February 22, 2000, City Council approved an engineering services contract with Coym,
Rehmet, Gutierrez Engineering, Inc. for design and permitting of the project. Negotiations
for this project will soon commence and the possibility of condemnation exists. A list of the
landowners along the proposed route is attached as Exhibit C. Due to the critical
acquisition schedule involved and in lieu of submitting individual resolutions as
condemnations are needed, a single City Council approval is sought in this project for all
potential condemnations; authorizing the City of Corpus Christi or its agents to proceed
where negotiations have reached an impasse.
FUNDING: No funding is necessary at this time.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the resolution as presented.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Buckingham Estates Lift Station & Force Main Diversion (Project #7117)
Resolution for Acquisition of Easements
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
1. February 22, 2000 - Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to
execute an engineering services contract with Coym, Rehmet, Gutierrez
Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $37,306 for engineering services associated with
the Buckingham Estates Lift Station project. (M2000-050)
2. January 15, 2002 - Approval of the FY 2001-02 Capital Improvement Budget
(Ordinance No. 024730).
3. April 16, 2002 - Motion authorizing the City Manager of his designee to execute
Amendment No. 1 to the engineering services contract with Coym, Rehmet &
Gutierrez Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $299,040 for the Buckingham Estates
Lift Station Project #7117. (Motion No. M2002-101 )
PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION: None
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION:
Authorize construction contract(s) and expenditures for the upgrade of the
Buckingham Estates Lift Station and the pipeline installation.
Authorize the payment of any Special Commissioners' Awards for the acquisiton of
any of the parcels needed.
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
This project involves the rehab of the Buckingham Estates Lift Station located at the west
comer of the intersection of South Staples and Yorktown Boulevard. The current lift station
does not have adequate reserve pump capacity and must be upgraded to accommodate
growth on the south side of the City. In addition, the project will include the construction of
an 18" diameter PVC fome main line along an alignment shown as Route 2 on the attached
Exhibit B. A 16" PVC effluent line from the Oso Wastewater Treatment Plant will also be
installed alongside the force main. It will be necessary to acquire 17 utility easements as
listed on the attached Exhibit C to complete the construction of the pipelines.
The City's standard procedure is to obtain City Council approval to resort to eminent
domain each time negotiations reach an impasse with a landowner. Past projects required
numerous council requests for condemnation. This method of individual resolutions
required added stafftime and produced similar agenda items for Council. This resolution
will allow a blanket approval for eminent domain proceedings at the beginning of a project
and in advance of any proposed condemnation needs. Negotiators will still make every
effort to resolve acquisition through good faith negotiations.

24, Block 51, King's Crossing Unit 15, (See Exhibit C). The abandonment and vacation of utility easements is
necessary to release the unneeded easements, which are currently an encumbrance on the lots, to sell the
lots for building of homes.
Previous Actions: Subject utility easements were originally dedicated by the platting of Lot 1, Block 41,
King's Crossing Unit 1, Phase 3, Volume 59, Pages 183-188, Map Records of Nueces County, Texas
(M.R.N.C.T.). This plat established the original layout of a portion of King's Crossing which included
residential lots bordering the King's Crossing Golf Course.
Previous utility easements were abandoned and vacated out of Lot 1, Block 41, King's Crossing Unit 1, Phase
3 by the replatting of Lots 11-14, Block 51, King's Crossing Unit 12, filed and recorded by Volume 61, Pages
177-178, Map Records of Nueces County, Texas (M R.N.C.T.).
As King's Crossing Realty, LTD., continued the development of King's Crossing Units, it was necessary to
make boundary adjustments between areas designated for residential development and the golf course to
improve lot sizes and configuration. This was done via the plats of King's Crossing Unit 12, filed for record on
February 22, 2002, and King's Crossing Unit 15, filed for record on May 5, 2003. The plat established new
utility easements along the new boundary between the residential lots and the golf course, and left the old
easements within the enlarged lots (see Exhibit C, Lots 16 through 19 and Lot 24 in this case). The platting
strategy considered, with Staff approval, that the unneeded utility easements would be abandoned and
vacated at a later date in order to remove the encumbrances on the lots in preparation for selling the lots for
building of homes.
Public Comment: All public and franchised utility companies were contacted. There were no objections
regarding the proposed easement closures. There are no existing utilities within the easements being closed.
Staff Recommendation(s): The tabulation below shows that a total of 4,404.10 square feet of utility
easements and drainage easements are being abandoned and vacated out of Block 51;
1) a 15-foot wide utility/drainage easement out of Lot 16,
2) a 15-foot wide utility/drainage easement out of Lots 16 & 17,
3) a 15-foot wide utility/drainage easement out of Lot 16,
4) a 7.5-foot wide utility easement out of Lots 16-19,
5) a 7.5-foot wide utility easement out of Lot 24,
6) a 15-foot wide utility/drainage easement out of Lots 18 & 19,
44.65-square foot portion
726.47-square foot portion
398.75-square foot portion
3,039.65osquare foot portion
137.1g-square foot portion
57.48-square foot portion
4,404.10 total square feet
Staff recommends payment of the fair market value of $4,387.30 for the abandonment and vacation of
4,404.1 O-square foot portions of a 15-foot wide utility/drainage easement and a 7.5-foot wide utility easement.
The owner has been advised of and concurs with the conditions of the easement abandonment and vacation.

ISSUE: The current ordinance, Section 33~79, that was adopted in 1995, prohibits

holders from carrying handguns onto most City properties. S.B. 501 took effect on
September Ist. While the City has not been the ordinance against CHL holder since our
ordinance is now preempted by State law. The ordinance needs to be amended to
eliminate the conflict.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Amend {}33-79 to remove restriction on CHL
holders bringing concealed handguns into most City buildings.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: §33-79 adopted by Ordinance 22454, 12/19/1995.
FUNDING: Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION: Adoptthe proposed ordinance.
R. J~'y ~'eining/'
Acting City Attorney
BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
Prior to September 1, a property owner, including the City, could post a notice under
Section 30.06, Texas Penal Code, to prohibit a concealed handgun license (CHL)
holder from entering the owner's property with a concealed handgun. Violators could be
prosecuted with criminal trespass under Sections 30.05 and 30.06. Texas Penal Code.
During the last regular session of the Legislature, the Legislature adopted S.B. 501,
which changed the State law, and amended Sections 30.05, 30.06, and 46.03, Texas
Penal Code.
S.B. 501, which took effect on September Ist, prevents the City from prohibiting CHL
holders from carrying handguns onto City property with two exceptions. S.B. 501 made
three substantive changes to the Texas Penal Code.
First, it amended {}30.05 and created a defense for a CHL holder charged with
criminal trespass under the section, if the basis for the charge was entering on
the property or land or entering into a building was forbidden with a handgun.
Criminal trespass is entering or remaining on property without effective consent.
Second, it provided an exception the application of {}30.06, which relates to
trespass by a CHL holder. It excepts property owned or leased by a government
entity from the list of places where a CHL holder is prohibited from carrying a
concealed handgun, unless the CHL holder is prohibited from carrying a handgun
under {}{}46.03 or 46.035 of the Penal Code.
Third, it amended §46.03 by prohibiting CHL holders from carrying a handgun
"on the premises" of any government court or offices utilized by the court without
written authorization or under written regulations. The previous law only
prohibited possessing a handgun into the actual court.
The City still has the authority to prohibit anyone who is not a CHL holder from bringing
ANY weapon onto City property. As a property owner, the City can prevent a CHL
holder from bringing ANY weapon, other than a concealed handgun onto City property.
In addition, there are four specific provisions that limit when a CHL holder can bring
handgun on City property:
§46.03(a)(2), Texas Penal Code, prohibits a CHL holder from bringing a
concealed handgun on the premises of a polling place on an election day or
while early voting is in progress. The premises would include City Hall and other
facility being used as a polling place, but will not include the parking lot or
sidewalks. The City is not required to post a warning sign for a violation of this
section.
{}46.03(a)(3), Texas Penal Code, prohibits a CHL holder from bringing a
concealed handgun on the premises of City's Police/Municipal Court building,
since it is the location of a government court and the site of the Municipal Court
offices. The premises do not include the parking lot or sidewalk. This effectively
continues the previous prohibition on bringing weapons into the Police/Municipal
Court building. The City is not required to post a warning sign for a violation of
this section.
§46.03(a)(5), Texas Penal Code, prohibits a CHL holder from bringing a
concealed handgun in or into a secured area of an airport. The City is not
required to post a warning sign for a violation of this section.
§46.035(c), Texas Penal Code, makes it an offense for the CHL holder to bring a
handgun into any meeting of a government entity. Under this provision, the CHL
holder could bring a handgun into City Hall, but not in the Council chambers or
any other location where the Council is meeting. While the statute does not
require the posting of any notice, the Texas Department of Public Safety rules,
published in §6.45(6), Title 37, Texas Administrative Code, states that the
subsection does not apply if the actor has not been given effective notice under
§30.03, Texas Penal Code. Therefore, it appears that the City should posts the
required notices at the locations where the meetings are held.
While S.B. 501 did not require the City to remove the CHL signs, the CHL signs were

Department Head Signature
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Currently the United States Postal Service (Postal Service) delivers and picks up mail to airlines serving
Corpus Christi International Airport. Due to the amount and weight of the mail, as well as the layout of
the old facility, this is done adjacent to the airlines baggage makeup areas, which is inside the secured
area of the airport and allows vehicular and pedestrian traffic access to the commercial aircraft.
The terminal reconstruction project converted the temporary baggage claim area to a cargo pick up and
delivery area, complete with a loading dock, thus eliminating the need for delivery and pick-up
personnel to access the secured area of the airport.
CCIA has developed square foot rental rates for different areas of the facility and the Postal Service
has agreed to lease 463 square feet of the facility for 4 % years with a 4 % year renewal option both at
$13,840.00 per year.
ExhibitA ]
Lease Summary
This is a standard short and long term lease as required by Charter for leases over one year in
duration. The short term lease will be effective upon Council approval and their declaring an
emergency. The long term lease will be effective upon the 61s~ day following approval at the
second reading, which must follow the first reading by at least 28 days.
The lease is for 493 square feet of space. The annual square foot rental rate is $29.89 or
$13,840 per year. The airport will provide heating, air conditioning, and standard electricity.
The lease is for four years and six months with an additional 4 ¼ year term to be approved by
the City Manager or his designee.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
On June 18, 2003, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on Case No. 0603-04,
Paul S. Vera for a change of zoning from "R-1B" Distdct and a "B-I" District with a Special
Permit to "B-4" District. Planning Commission and Staff recommended denial of the "B-4"
District, and in lieu thereof, approve a revised Special Permit on Lot 12 to include a portion
of Lot 11 to allow the auto repair, limited to minor and major auto repair, and to correct the
building expansion setback subject to a site plan and ten (10) conditions. On August 19,
2003, City Council held a public hearing, and after considerable discussion on the history
of code violations and failure of the applicant to meet city zoning and plat codes, Council
approved a motion to postpone until August 26, 2003.
Staff was directed to develop a motion to table for ninety days with the stipulation that
during this time, Mr. Vera brings his property into compliance with all city codes before final
action by City Council. Two tabling dates are recommended to Council due to the
cancellation of the November 25, 2003 council meeting that would have met the ninety-day
criteria. A date before and after the ninety-day period is provided.
The City Attorney advises that the motion to table for ninety days can not be tied to a
directive that Mr. Vera complies with all conditions of the proposed Special Permit. Such
action would be considered tantamount to "contract zoning," which is illegal. Mr. Vera will
be advised by Staff that he has to correct all code violations dudng this period. The Special
Permit approved December 12, 2000 has expired due to Mr. Vera's failure to comply with
provisions of the Special Permit. Planning Commission on July 16, 2003 approved the plat
for the subject property. A fee of $2,492.00 remains to be paid to the city prior to
recordation of the plat with the county.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: August 19, 2003)
Case No.: 0603-04~ Paul S. Vera: A change of zoning from a "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District and
"B-I" Neighborhood Business District with a "SP' Special Permit to a "B-4" General Business District on
Laguna Acres, Block 1, Lot 12 and a portion of Lot 11, located at the southeast corner of Home Road and Teresa
Street.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation (06/18/03): Denial of the "B-4" District,
and in lieu thereof, approval a revised Special Permit on Lot 12 to include a portion of Lot 11 to allow the auto
repair use limited to minor and major auto repair and to correct the building expansion setback subject to a site
plan and 10 conditions.
Requested Council Action: Denial of the "B-4" District, and in lieu thereof, approval of a revised Special
Permit on Lot 12 to include a portion ofLnt 11 to allow the auto repair use limited to minor and major auto repair
and to correct the building expansion setback subject to a site plan and 10 conditions and adoption of the at~ached
ordinance.
Purpose of Request: To allow the illegal expansion on Lot 12 and to meet setbacks per replat of Lots 11 and 12.
Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from a "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District and a
"B-I" Neighborhood Business District with a Special Permit to a "B-4" General Business District in order to
legalize the auto repair building expansion on Lot 12. A portion of Lot 11 is within the area of request in order for
the building to meet the required setback. In May 1988, Lot 12 was granted a Special Permit for an auto repair
facility subject to a site plan. The site plan limited the building to 2,400 square feet and the conditions required the
use to be inside the building and a screening fence installed along the south and east property lines. Sometime in
1996 or shortly thereafter, a 2,071 square foot addition was made to the existing structure in violation of the
approved Special Permit and without the benefit of a building permit. The applicant has owned Lot 11 since at least
1988, when the original Special Permit on Lot 12 was granted. Currently, the applicant has meet with staff to discuss
correction measures. The illegal expansion cannot meet the required side yard setback on Lot 12. However, by
extending the Sp6cial Permit to approximately seven (7) feet to the east the required ten- (10) setback can be met.
The remaining portion of Lot 11 is vacant and would meet the minimum lot width and area requirements of the
"R-lB" District. There are single-family residences south of he subject property in a "B-I' District and a vacant
business building to the west in a "B-I" District. To the north is "R-lB" property developed as the City golf course
and to the east are single-family residences in a "R-lB" District. The subject property has direct access to an arterial,
Home Road, and to a local street, Teresa Street. Approval of a "B-4" District would permit uses such as auto sales,
bars and dance halls at this location if the auto repair business cease to operate. Such uses are not considered
appropriate when adjacent to a residential area. The adjacent residential properties have remained as a stable
neighborhood. The designation of a "B-4" District on Lot 12 and a portion of Lot 11 could further undermine the
stability of the residential neighborhood. However, a "B-I" District with a Special Permit could be considered for
the seven (7) foot area of Lot 11 to allow the building to met the setback requirement.
Overall, the Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of a less intense business zoning due to the subject
property's direct access to an arterial and its residential adjacency. The Westside Area Development Plan's adopted
future land use map recommends the area to develop with low-density residential uses due to the residential
character. The requested "B-4" District is not consistent with the Plan's adopted future land use map.

Zoning History of Property:
In July 2000, the Planning Commission reviewed a request for a change of zoning on Lot 11 from
a "R-lB" District to a "B-4" District in order for the applicant to expand the auto repair business
onto the lot. The case was continued and the applicant withdrew in order to resubmit an application
that included Lot 12.
In May 1996, the City Council denied a request for a change of zoning from a "B-1/SP" District to
an "I-2" District in order to continue outside repair of vehicles and large tracks and semi-trailers.
In May 1988, Lot 12 was granted a Special Permit for an auto repair shop subject to a site plan and
conditions.
Recent Surrounding Zoning Cases:
There has been no rezoning activity in the area within the past five (5) years.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
from a "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District and a "B-1" Neighborhood Business District
with a Special Permit to a "B-4" General Business DistiSct in order to legalize the auto repair
building expansion on Lot 12. A portion of Lot 11 is within the area of request in order for
the building to meet the required setback. In May 1988, LOt 12 was granted a Special
Permit for an auto repair facility subject to a site plan. The site plan limited the building to
2,400 square feet and the conditions required the use to be inside the building and a screening
fence installed along the south and east property lines. Sometime in 1996 or shortly
thereafter, a 2,071 square foot addition was made to the existing structure in violation of the
approved Special Permit and without the benefit of a building permit. The applicant has
owned Lot 11 since at least 1988, when the original Special Permit on Lot 12 was granted.
Currently, the applicant has meet with staff to discuss correction measures. The illegal
expansion cannot meet the required side yard setback on Lot 12. However, by extending the
Special Permit to approximately seven (7) feet to the east the required t~n- (10) setback can
be met. The remaining portion of Lot 11 is vacant and would meet the minimum lot width
and area requirements of the "R-1B" District. There are single-family residences south of he
subject property in a "B-I" District and a vacant business building to the west in a "B-I"
District. To the north is "R-lB" property developed as the City golf course and to the east
are single-family residences in a "R-1B" District. The subject property has direct access to
an arterial, Home Road, and to a local street, Teresa Street. Approval of a "B-4" District
would permit uses such as auto sales, bars and dance halls at this location if the auto repair
business cease to operate. Such uses are not considered appropriate when adjacent to a
residential area. The adjacent residential properties have remained as a stable neighborhood.
The designation of a "B-4" District on LOt 12 and a portion of Lot 11 could further

Case No. 0603-04 (Paul S. Yera)
Page 4
undermine the stability of the residential neighborhood. However, a "B-I" District with a
Special Permit could be considered for the seven (7) foot area of Lot 11 to allow the building
to met the setback requirement.
Overall, the Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of a less intense business
zoning due to the subject property's direct access to an arterial and its residential adjacency.
The Westside Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area
to develop with low-density residential uses due to the residential character. The requested
"B-4" District is not consistent with the Plan's adopted future land use map.
Potential Housing Density: Residential density in the "R-lB" District is 7.26 dwelling units
per acre or 0 units on a portion of Lot 11 that is less than 6,000 square feet. A "Bol" District
permits a residential density of 36.30 dwelling units per acre or fifteen (15) units on Lot 12.
The "B-4" District permits a density of 36.30 dwelling units per acre or fifteen (15) units on
the subject property.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: The "R-lB" District requires a front yard setback of 25 feet with
a side and rear yard setback of five (5) feet each. Both the "B-I" and "B-4" Districts require
a front yard setback of twenty (20) feet with no required side or rear yard unless adjacent to
a residential district where a setback of ten (10) feet each will be required along that
adjacency. A ten- (10) foot setback is required to the east. Buildings in the "R-lB" and "B-I"
Districts are limited to 35 feet not to exceed three (3) stories. There are no building height
limitations in the "B-4" District.
Signage: Signs in the "R- lB" District are limited to one wall sign with an area not to exceed
one square foot. Wall signs in the "B-I" and "B-4" Districts are unlimited. Freestanding
signs in the "B-I" District are limited to one sign with a sign area of forty (40) square feet
and a height of twenty (20) feet. Freestanding signs in the "B-4" District located behind the
20-foot setback, are unlimited as to size, height, or number. Ifa freestanding sign is located
within the front yard setback, it is limited to one sign per street frontage with an area of forty
(40) square feet and a height of 25 feet. Approval of the "B-4" District would have the
potential of having large signs in proximity to a sensitive neighborhood.
Traffic: As an auto repair facility, the amount of traffic generated will be minimal and not
impact the adjacent arterial road, Home Road. Heavy vehicle traffic on Teresa Street is
impactive to the adjacent residential area.
Parking/Screening: An auto repair facility is required to provide one off-street parking space
for each three (3) employees on the premise. Compliance with the parking regulations will
required during the permitting phase of the project. A standard screening fence with a height
of not less than six (6) feet is required when a business or industrial use locates adjacent to
a residential district. A standard screening fence will be required along the south and east
property lines.

Case No. 0603°04 (Paul S. Vera)
Page 5
Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
a) None.
Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
a)
The requested "B-4" District is not consistent with the adopted Westside Area Development
Plan's recommended land use.
b)
Expansion of the nonresidential zoning could disrupt the stability of the residential
neighborhood.
c)
Based on the applicant's history of compliance, it is very possible that over time, the outside
storage of vehicles, junked vehicles and materials will continue and expand.
Staff Recommendation: Denial of the "B-4" District and in lieu thereof, grant a revised Special
Permit on Lot 12 to include a portion of Lot 11 to allow the auto repair use, and to correct the
building expansion setback subject to a site plan and the following ten (10) conditions:
ALLOWED USES: The only use authorized by this Special Permit other than those uses
permitted by right in the "B-I" Neighborhood Business District and the "R-lB" One-family
Dwelling District is an auto repair use limited to minor and major automotive repair. All
automotive repair must be done within an enclosed building.
VEHICLES: All vehicles stored on the premise must have a valid pending work order and
must have a valid State inspection and license sticker. Wrecked vehicles and auto salvage
are prohibited.
FLOOR AREA: The total floor area used for the automotive repair use may not exceed
4,431 square feet, as shown on the attached site plan.
SCREENING: A standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet must
be installed and maintained along the south and east property lines. Along the east property
line and ten (10) feet from the Home Road right-of-way line, the screening fence must have
a height of three (3) feet. Within ten (10) and fifteen (15) feet from the Home Road right-of-
way line, the screening fence may transition from six (6) feet to three (3) feet. The screening
fence must be installed within 180 days from the date of this ordinance.
LANDSCAPING: A landscaping strip with a width of not less than five (5) feet must
located along the Home Road and Teresa Street rights-of-way. The landscaping strip must
contain at least two (2) canopy trees along Home Road, three (3) canopy trees along Teresa
Street, hedges with a height of three (3) feet and a ground cover. All landscaping must be
installed within 180 days from the date of this ordinance and must be kept in a healthy and
growing condition at all times.

Page 6
PLATTING: Lots 11 and 12 must be replatted to provide a minimum setback often (10)
feet along the east property line of Lot 12 to accommodate the existing structure on Lot 12.
HOURS OF OPERATION: The permitted automotive repair use is limited to the hours
between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
LIGHTING: All exterior lighting must be directional and shielded. Lighting must be
directed away fi.om the surrounding residences and adjacent public right-of-way.
PARKING AREA: The off-street parking area and the maneuvering area must be improved
with a minimum 2-inch layer of asphalt. All off-street parking spaces must be striped
according to City standards.

was supposed to plant trees on Home and Theresa Street, instead, he planted
cactus. These are not trees. This area needed to be cleaned. Mr. Vera always in
every meeting says he does not make enough money. I think he does. He worked
for you all fixing City vehicles. We are very opposed of Mr. Vera doing anything
with this land, Lot 12. Mr. Vera should remove all junk cars in both lots or YOU
as City Council should fine Mr. Vera for every junk car he has. This is an auto

Paul S. Vera: 0603-04
REQUEST:
"R-lB" One-Family Dwelling District and "B-I" Neighborhood Business District
with a "SP" Special Permit to "B-4" General Business District Laguna Acres,
Block 1, Lot 12 and a portion of Lot 11, and located at the southeast comer of
Home Road and Teresa Street.
Ms. Goode-Macon provided a computerized slide illustration of the subject property and
the surrounding area. The applicant has requested a change of zoning from a "R-lB" One-family
Dwelling District and a "R-1B/SP Neighborhood Business District with a Special Permit to a
"B-4" General Business District in order to legalize the auto repair building expansion on Lot 12.
A portion of Lot 11 is within the area of request in order for the building to meet the required
setback. In May 1988, Lot 12 was granted a Special Permit for an auto repair facility subject to
a site plan. The site plan limited the building to 2,400 square feet and the conditions required the
use to be inside the building and a screening fence installed along the south and east property
lines. Sometime in 1996 or shortly thereafter, a 2,071 square foot addition was made to the
existing structure in violation of the approved Special Permit and without the benefit of a
building permit. The applicant has owned Lot 11 since at least 1988, when the original Special
Permit on Lot 12 was granted. Currently, the applicant has meet with staff to discuss correction
measures. The illegal expansion cannot meet the required side yard setback on Lot 12. However,
by extending the Special Permit to approximately seven (7) feet to the east the required ten- (10)
setback can be met. The remaining portion of Lot 11 is vacant and would meet the minimum lot
width and area requirements of the "R-lB" District. There are single-family residences south of
he subject property in a "B-I" District and a vacant business building to the west in a "B-I"
District. To the north is "R-lB" property developed as the City golf course and to the east are
single-family residences in a "R-lB" District. The subject property has direct access to an
arterial, Home Road, and to a local street, Teresa Street. Approval of a "B-4" District would
permit uses such as auto sales, bars and dance halls at this location if the auto repair business
cease to operate. Such uses are not considered appropriate when adjacent to a residential area.
The adjacent residential properties have remained as a stable neighborhood. The designation of a
"B-4" District on Lot 12 and a portion of Lot 11 could further undermine the stability of the
residential neighborhood. However, a "B-I" District with a Special Permit could be considered
for the seven (7) foot area of Lot 11 to allow the building to met the setback requirement.
Ms. Goode-Macon provided a brief history of previous rezoning to the subject property.
In July 2000, the Planning Commission reviewed a request for a change of zoning on Lot 11
from a "R-lB" District to a "B-4" District in order for the applicant to expand the auto repair
business onto the lot. The case was continued and the applicant withdrew in order to resubmit an
application that included Lot 12.
In May 1996, the City Council denied a request for a change of zoning from a "B-1/SP"
District to an "I-2" District in order to continue outside repair of vehicles and large tracks and
semi-trailers.
In May 1988, Lot 12 was granted a Special Permit for an auto repair shop subject to a site
plan and conditions.

AGENDA ITEM: (Caption as it should appear on the agenda)
ITEM A:
A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTING THE MUSTANG/PADRE
ISLAND AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AN ELEMENT OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, FOR PURPOSES OF DEFINING THE CITY'S
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES ON MUSTANGAND PADRE ISLAND
FOR PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT, FUTURE LAND USE,
TRANSPORTATION, PUBLIC SERVICES, DUNE PROTECTION, BEACH
ACCESS, PACKERY CHANNEL AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.
ITEM B:
FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI ("THE
CITY") BY ADOPTING THE MUSTANG-PADRE ISLAND AREA
DEVELOPMENT PLAN; DEFINING THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
POLICIES ON MUSTANG AND PADRE ISLAND FOR PROTECTION OF
THE ENVIRONMENT, FUTURE LAND USE, TRANSPORTATION, PUBLIC
SERVICES, DUNE PROTECTION, BEACH ACCESS, PACKERY CHANNEL
AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERANCE; AND
PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
ISSUE:
The City Charter requires the City to maintain a Comprehensive Plan for all areas of the
City and its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. The City does not currently have a long range Area
Development Plan for Mustang and Padre Island. The Mustang and Padre Island Area is a
high growth area of the City. A Plan is needed in order to communicate the City's desired
future growth pattern to property owners, residents, city staff, and other governmental
entities. The plan will assure a more coordinated and comprehensive approach for
planning of land uses, utilities, park and recreation services, zoning, platting and other city
services and improvements. The overall purpose of the plan is to encourage a growth
pattern that will maximize the most beneficial attributes of the islands for current residents,
property owners, the citizens of Corpus Christ and for the generations to come.
Since the Planning Commission recommendation for adoption of the plan, staff has met
with Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) officials to discuss the most appropriate
right-of-way width for State Highway 361. TxDOT indicated that the most desirable right-of-
way width on State Highway 361 is 240 feet as indicated on the current Corpus Christi
Urban Transportation Plan.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
City Council Public Hearing
November 14, 2003
Urban Transportation Plan. With regard to Park Road 22, TxDOT indicated that due to
existing development and slower vehicle speeds that a maximum right-of-way of 200 feet
would be appropriate. Policy Statement C.6 has been modified to reference Park Road 22
only, and not State Highway 361.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approval of Ordinance on first reading.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
There is no current adopted Area Development Plan for Mustang and Padre Island. (see
Additional Background)
FUNDING: NA
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Planning
Commission recommended plan with the modified Policy Statement C.6.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Subject:
Proposed Mustang Padre Island Area Development Plan: an element of
the Corpus Christi Comprehensive Plan
History: The City Charter requires the City to maintain an up-to-date comprehensive plan
and requires the Planning Commission and City Council to hold a public hearing prior to
adoption of any plan element. On March 7, 1989 the City Council adopted the first
development plan for the island. The plan recommended the development of the Packery
Channel but did not indicate a definite funding source for construction. Subsequently, the
Corpus Christi Tax Payers Association presented City Council and called for a voter's
referendum on the plan and Packery Channel. On June 13, 1989, City Council, while
indicating support for the plan, decided the best course of action was to repeal the plan
rather than place the plan and the unfunded Packery Channel before the voters. The City
Council also indicated that once the other Area Development Plans were completed the
staff should bring back to City Council another Mustang/Padre Plan for adoption.
Planning Process: The planning process approved in January 2003 called for a plan to
be ready for City Council approval before the end of the year. A key element of the
planning process was to formulate a detailed list of plan issues to be addressed with
residents, business owners, and developers on the island. The Island Stakeholders Group
also played a fundamental role in evaluating the issues and initial drafts of the plan. Staff
met with the Island Stakeholders Group on four occasions from between March and
September.
The Mustang/Padre Plan was presented for review, comment and endorsement to the
Transportation, Park, and Watershore Advisory Committees as will as the Nueces County
· th , · ,
Beach Management Committee. On November 5 , the Planmng Commission conducted
the second public hearing on the Plan and recommended City Council adoption with a
number of policy revisions to the draft plan.
Plan Highlights
Plan Mission Statement Excerpt
"The ultimate goal of this plan is to assist in transforming the Mustang-Padre
Island area into a world-renowned tourist, resort and residential community."
The City "... commits to doing its part to ensure the long-term success of
Mustang-Padre Island."
Draft Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
City Council Public Hearing
November 14, 2003
Policy Statement Excerpts
Future Land Use Plan - A future land use map of the Mustang and Padre Island areas is
recommended. The use of Planned Unit Development is strongly recommended
throughout the area to assure that the complex issues of zoning and platting and site plan
are handled at one time rather than in two separate processes and to facilitate innovative
design and higher densities.
Site Plan Review- A site plan review process is proposed for multi family a~d commercial
developments in a manner that would:
· Be coordinated internally and simply require a multiple interdisciplinary staff
review of proposed building permits.
· The site plan review process would ensure a more thorough review of permit
requests and prevent approval of building permits in error.
· Not add to the existing length of staff review of new multi-family and
commercial permits (approx. 2-3 weeks)
· Require four new items of information over and above existing requirements for
submission of a site plan with a building permit request:
· Dune and Beachfront construction Permit information where
appropriate
· A wetlands determination or preliminary determination if one has
previously been completed for the property
· For shoreline areas a state survey of not less than 5 years old would
be required.
Packery Channel Recreation Improvement Plan - A specific and detailed site plan for
Phase II recreational improvements is recommended. The detailed site plan should
indicate the location for bathhouses, beach parking, and bait and tackle shop, public boat
ramp and parking, etc.
Public Beach Access - public beach access points for vehicular parking and dune
walkovers has been reduced from one half mile spacing to one mile spacing. Acquisition
by purchase with Texas General Land Office grants is recommended.
Vehicular Beach Access - gulf beaches are recommended to remain open for vehicular
access unless an overwhelming public safety issues exists. Spacing is recommended at
one mile intervals.
Park Road 22 - The highest quality of design is recommended along Park Road 22 and
State Highway 361 south of the State Park. Public and private developments in or along
these corridors are proposed to adhere to architectural design controls.
Park Road 22 - A special cross section design concept based on discussions between the
Padre Island Zoning Committee and Texas Department of Transportation was the basis for
recommending a change to the future right-of-way for Park Road 22. The current
Draft Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
City Council Public Hearing
November 14, 2003
Transportation Plan requires a 240 foot wide street cross section and the proposed
cross-section would require 200 feet. The design concept includes four (4) through lanes;
two (2) parallel marginal access roadways; and a hike and bike trail,
"Wilson's Cut" - Wilson's Cut located north of the State Park, provides access to popular
bay fishing spots, including Shamrock Cove. The Wilson's Cut Channel is the only location
on Mustang Island north of the State Park (and inside city limits) where a boat ramp is
available. However, the boat ramp is on private land and is not publicly owned. The plan
calls for the City acquisition of land adjacent to Wilson's Cut for the purpose of ensuring
there will be permanent access to a public boat ramp.

MUSTANG-PADRE AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Robed E. Payne, Senior Planner, provided a PowerPoint presentation of the
Mustang Padre Area Development Plan. He stated that the ultimate goal was to
promote development of the Mustang Padre Island area into a world-renowned tourist
resort and residential community.
Mr. Payne provided an overview of the process to-date. He stated that staff
formed a stakeholders group which was composed of residents, business leaders,
environmental interests, and other interested parties. The purpose the stakeholders
group was to find out what the stakeholders believed were important issues that needed
to be addressed in the plan. Mr. Payne stated that he has met with several boards and
committees including: Park and Recreation Committee, Transportation Advisory
Committee, Watershore Advisory Board, and the Nueces County Dune Protection
Committee. He added that the boards and committees endorsed the plan.
Mr. Payne stated that the plan requires a site plan review process for multi-family
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan

and commercial development to assure a more thorough review and would be
conducted internally with staff regarding utilities, environment, planning to ensure that
the development meets city requirements, plan policies, etc.
Mr. Payne reviewed future land uses proposed for Mustang and Padre Island.
Commercial development is provided at the intersections of existing or proposed arterial
and collector streets, primarily along Park Road 22 and State Highway 361. The plan
also indicates that future development must be compatible with existing residential
areas on the Islands. Industrial uses are not recommended for the Mustang-Padre
Island Area. Placement of overhead utilities underground is also recommended in the
plan.
Mr. Payne informed the Commission that there is an Island Planning Group
working with the City and a consultant on updating the "B-2A" zoning district for the
Island. Qne of the issues is urban design. The plan needs to give some overall
guidance to the group. Urban design elements include prohibiting metal buildings;
requiring pedestrian amenities, stricter signage controls, color guidelines; and having
architectural controls, coastal themes such as Spanish, Mediterranean, Cape Cod, etc.
The beach access points are located approximately 0.5 mile apart as
identified on the Urban Transportation Plan adopted in March 2003. At this time, there
is not a beach access point beyond Access Road 2 for approximately 10 miles
northward.
Mr. Payne stated that the plan identifies increasing elevation of streets
intersecting Park Road 22 and Highway 361 wherever feasible. Increasing the
elevation would allow for evacuation and atso assist with drainage of the Island.
Access Management is addressed with marginal access roads. Mr. Payne
provided an example as being the access road near the Sonic Restaurant on the
island. He stated that the plan encourages marginal access roads.
Mr. Payne stated that the collector on the Transportation Plan is not identified on
the Mustang/Padre Plan, however, he added, for the record, that staff proposes that
one collector road would suffice between Access Road 2 and the two proposed access
roads to the north on the west side of the island.
Public hearing was opened.
Jim Urban, consultant for Urban Engineering and member of the stakeholders

group, distributed information to the Commission with seven (7) comments addressing
fundamental differences in the plan. The first issue was protection of non-jurisdictional
wetlands and sensitive habitat. Mr. Urban questioned why only eight (8) units were
allowed per acre north of the state park and west of State Highway 361 and asked
whether the city wants to be in the business of regulating non-regulated wetlands or
sensitive habitat sights.
Mr. Urban's second issue was architectural controls. He stated that the current
developments on Mustang Island are not developed with the specific themes
presented. Another issue was landscaping. Mr. Urban stated that the current
ordinance requires landscaping. Park dedication was addressed as a use for off-beach
parking. Mr. Urban requested that the beach be identified as a park. Another issue
presented by Mr. Urban was beach access roads. He stated that the current city beach
access plan proposes a beach access right-of-way width of 80 feet. This would require
a dedication of 27% of a single tract or 13.5 off two adjacent tracts. The current Master
Transportation Plan illustrates 60-foot right-of-ways. Mr. Urban's sixth issue addresses
the road section. He stated that the plan proposes a 240-foot wide right-of-way with
140 feet of paved width. TxDOT recently adopted a five-lane section with a paved
width of 70 feet for the north end of the Island. The majority of the east side of State
Highway 361 is already platted and numerous utilities and developed project will make
acquisition along the east side of State Highway 361. Mr. Urban added that the current
and projected traffic would not warrant the proposed section. Mr. Urban's last issue
addressed capital improvements. He stated that the plan fails to propose any capital
improvements north of the State Park.
Derek Hoak, 13525 Boryon Court, stated that he prefers the architectural
controls identified in the plan. He added that there would be an improvement in land
value.
Pat Suder spoke on behalf of the environmental coalition. Her issues included
the Oak Mott and the benefit of it for migrating birds. The Audubon society requested
that the 35 acres not owned by the society be preserved and identified in the plan.
Another issue was the City's agreement with the State Legislature concerning a parking
lot immediately behind the seawall and north of the Holiday Inn. Ms. Suder added that
the legislative act stated that the City would be allowed to prohibit vehicular traffic in
front of the seawall provided that an area be created in the middle of the seawall
expansion to park 300 cars and provide basic amenities.
Ms. Suder stated that the plan encourages sprawl. She provided an example of
traveling from Calallen to the Island and added that there is not any form of public
transportation that would accommodate that route.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
City Council Public Hearing
November 14, 2003
Jack Ponton, developer on the Island and Beach Management Committee
member, stated that he did not want Mustang Island to be comparable to Port Aransas
and added that he did not agree with Mr. Urban's presentation.
Martha Graham, property owner of Mustang Island Riding Stable, asked the
Commission not to rezone her property.
Carl Badilich, owner of property on Mustang Island and Packery Channel,
expressed concern with people owning property bordering the Packery Channel and the
need for a seawall. Another concern was compatible zoning for the Island.
Treon Serbu, 14310 Playa Del Rey, expressed concern with beach access and
parking. The concern was that the 60-foot right-of-way would not accommodate the
parking and added that additional tracts needed to be purchased.
Ro Wickam stated that he Chaired the Island Planning Group that is reviewing
the "B-2A" District. He added that there needs to be architectural controls in place.
Mr. Payne stated that the he would like to respond in writing to Mr. Urban's
detailed written comments at the next Planning Commission meeting. However, Mr.
Payne did want to immediately dispel Mr. Urban's assertion that the plan requires new
local protection for non-jurisdictional or jurisdictional wetlands. The plan only invites
development to voluntarily preserve the existing habitat of the Island by the City
allowing higher density with a smaller "development foot print" in return for larger
setbacks.
Commissioner Smith stated that as an Island resident and a member of the
stakeholders group, he believed that there is a need for architectural controls on North
Padre Island.
Commissioner Zamora asked for examples of island developments referenced
by the public.
Public hearing was dosed.
Motion by Mims, seconded by Smith, to continue the Mustang/Padre Island Area
Development Plan to November 5, 2003. Motion passed with Richter being absent.

1. New Area Development Plan
Presentation and public input with possible Planning Commission action
a. Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Responses to issues raised at the first public hearing, additional public input and action
by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Payne stated that he modified the plan to include Commission comments received at the
October 22, 2003 Planning Commission meeting.
Public hearing was opened.
Jim Urban asked what the vision of the Commission was with regard to the plan for the
Island. He added that Mustang Island needed to be developed as a resort community. Mr. Urban
stated that if the Island is zoned as proposed Mixed Use Residential, a project that is proposed
would need to be presented to the Planning Commission for approval. In addition, the adjacent
property owners would also need to be notified and could impact a development.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
City Council Public Hearing
November 14, 2003
Commissioner Amsler stated that he agreed with Mr. Urban's statement. He added that
the plan needs to reflect the structure for planning and not zone the property as proposed.
Mr. Payne explained that City staffrefers to the Future Land Use Plan when considering
an application for rezoning. He also explained that the bayside of State Highway 361 is proposed
for development at 8 units per gross acre. In other words, if the developer wishes to develop high
density then he can if he provides large setbacks. In addition, the proposed density is 40 times
the current maximum density allowed on the property.
Commissioner Richter suggested a more concentrated development to keep the idea of an
Island.
Mr. Urban expressed concern regarding the proposed cross-section on State Highway
361. He stated that the Island is a destination area and would not have enough traffic for a
six-lane highway. Mr. Urban added that the Transportation Plan could be amended if the
cross-section is reduced from 240 feet.
Mr. Gunning stated that he and 'Angel Escobar, City Engineer, would be meeting with
Brian Woods regarding the proposed cross-section. They would be proposing a 200-foot
cross-section. The adopted Transportation Plan illustrates a 240-foot right-of-way inorder to
accommodate the difficulty in providing drainage on Mustang Island.
Brooke Sween-McGloin, 3301 San Antonio, stated that ideas presented are worthwhile;
however, focus for utilities need to be redirected towards the Downtown area.
The Commission discussed the pros and cons of creating architectural controls on Padre
Island in regard to Policy Statement B.4. After lengthy discussion, Commissioner Smith moved
to amend Policy Statement B.4 as follows and recommend the plan for City Council approval:
POLICY STATEMENT B. 4
Park Rd. 22 and State Highway 361 (on Padre Island) are hereby designated as
"Gateway Corridors." The purpose of designating these corridors is to recognize and
protect the cultural, economic and environmental significance of this area. The design
elements and allowable architectural themes of these designated corridors will be
implemented through the zoning ordinance. Such architectural design themes may include
elements found in coastal regions such as Cape Cod, Key West, the Carolinas, the Caribbean,
Spain, Mediterranean, South Texas, etc. The purpose of this policy is to help create a "sense
of place" and increase the quality of architecture found in the area.
Motion by Smith, was seconded by Amsler, to forward a recommendation to City Council for
approval of the South Central Area Development Plan as amended. Motion passed with Amsler,
Berlanga, Mims, Pusley, Salazar, Smith, Stone, and Zamora voting "Aye" and Richter voting
"Nay".

VII. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS REQUIRING COMMITTEE REVIEW
DRAFT - Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan - An Element of the
Comprehensive Plan Draft- August 27, 2003 - Mr. Bob Payne, Senior City Planner, stated
that prior to drafting of the plan Staff met with a number of agencies and stakeholders on
the Island. A number of transportation issued emerged from those stake hold meetings.
Some of the transportation recommendations in the draft plan include:
Build in congestion management techniques to Park Road 22 and State
Highway 361 as these roads are improved. A key plan recommendation is to
provide marginal access roadways adjacent to the main lanes on Park Road 22
and State Highway 361;
· Creation of attractive roadways with greater aesthetic treatment both in
the right-of-way and on adjacent private property is recommended.
· Create better inter modal connectivity for transit and pedestrians on the
Island;
Where feasible, elevate intersections with Park Road 22 and State
Highway 361 to assure adequate emergency access off the island in time of
emergency evacuation.
· Improve alignment of Encantada with Park Road 22 across from the
entrance to Padre Balli Park.
Motion made by Mr. Seiler, seconded by Mr. Davenport to endorse
concept as recommended by Planning Department. Motion passed.

The committee discussed the proposal and expressed the following suggestions.
Commodore Cove Park does not need to be enlarged. Instead use the developer's
monetary exchange to better develop the existing Commodore Cove Park.
A park is needed in the Cape Summer area. Discussion was held about maintenance
regarding the sand and sticker burrs. Karen Woodard reported on new grasses being
developed and tested on the Port Aransas beach.
It was also suggested that the park areas be developed before they are turned over to the
City. Discussion regarding the percent of completeness was held.

PLAN MISSION STATEMENT
The ultimate goal of this plan is to assist in transforming the Mustang-Padre Island area into a
world-renowned tourist, resort and residential community. The City will encourage the highest
development standards within the area's boundaries to create a unique "sense of place." Economic
development will be tempered with environmental sensitivity to the significant coastal natural
resources on the Islands. Growth will be tempered with common sense. Residential concerns will
be tempered with tourism and business concems. The area plays a vital role in the citywide and
regional economies. The City recognizes this and commits to doing its part to ensure the long-term
success of Mustang-Padre Island.

Mustang-Padre Island Area Development
Plan
INTRODUCTION
The City of Corpus Christi envisions Mustang-Padre Island as a
regional, national, and international resort destination. The
recreational amenities, leisure and resort facilities, and residential
communities will be among the finest along the entire Gulf Coast.
Moreover, the recreational oppommities will appeal to a broad
socioeconomic range of clientele, allowing all to enjoy what
Mustang-Padre Island has to offer. Whether for sport fishing,
beach combing, windsurfing or rest and relaxation, visitors will
want to return again and again. The character of the residential
neighborhoods will attract new residents who appreciate what the
area has to offer. Visitors and residents alike will come to
appreciate the unique sense of place created through requiring the
highest quality of development. This vision will make Mustang-
Padre Island a preeminent destination of the Gulf Coast and a
brilliant asset to our sparkling city.
The City Charter mandates the Corpus Christi Comprehensive Plan. The Charter requires the
City Council to" ... establish comprehensive planning as a continuous governmental function to
guide, regulate, and manage future development . . ." and that" . . . all city improvements,
ordinances, and regulations shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan . . . ". The
Comprehensive Plan is comprised of vahous plan elements such as Policy Statements, Area
Development Plans (ADP's), Capitol
Improvement Programs, and Master Utility
Plans. The comprehensive planning
process is a means for citizens and
community leaders to guide community
development. The Comprehensive Plan,
by definition, is general, long range, and
broad in scope, lts purpose is to guide the
City in policy formulation and in the
implementation of strategies related to

population, housing, environment, land use, transportation, annexation, economic development
and public services. As part of the planning process, planning staff developed the Mustang-Padre
Island Area Development Plan Issues Report based upon the input of the Mustang-Padre Island
Stakeholders Group. This document was used to identify the important issues related to the ADP.
Those issues are included as Appendix A.
Figure 1 - Plan Boundaries

Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November I8, 2003

The Mustang-Padre Island Area is located in the easternmost part of the City, offshore from the
mainland. The Plan area is bounded by Port Aransas on the north, the Gulf of Mexico on the east,
Padre Island National Seashore on the south and the Laguna Madre and Corpus Christi Bay to the
west. The area also includes the John F. Kennedy Causeway. (See Figure 1 - Plan Boundary
Map.)
The principle objectives of this plan are as follows:
1) To recognize the unique characteristics of this area and propose policies that emphasize the
need for standards that may not apply cltywide.
2) To recognize the regional economic significance of this area and develop policies that advocate
responsible economic development strategies.
3) To propose techniques or methods by which the environmentally sensitive areas must be
preserved and/or developed with minimal adverse impacts.
4) To propose appropriate land uses and a corresponding transportation newvork to serve furore
land uses and public access to the Gulf beaches.
5) To facilitate infrastructure planning through a reasonable estimate of future land use.
DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS 0&s. c~nsus Bureau, 2000 Census)
POPULATION
This area is the one of the highest growth areas within the City's jurisdiction. Figures 2 and 3
illustrate population growth in Corpus Christi as a whole and within the Mustang-Padre Island
Area. These figures include actual census counts from 1970 - 2000 and projections through 2050.
Area population growth is dependent upon land availability and density of development. Being an
island, with significant amounts of natural resources, land availability is limited. The ultimate
population and growth will depend upon the factors discussed within this Area Development Plan
(ADP). It is important to note that the projection figures are estimates and should be used for long-
range planning purposes only. A comparison of Figures 2 and 3 indicates that the growth trend
within this area is projected to continue outpacing that of the City as a whole through 2050. With
the construction of Packery Channel, development is expected to rise sharply through the next 20 -
30 years and then plateau. At that point, land availability will likely become a limiting factor and
area population should stabilize in the vicinity of 50,000. The bulk of the future growth will occur
in the areas comprised of Commodore's Cove Unit II, Cape Summer Unit I, Cape Summer Unit II,
Lake Padre, Packery Channel, fi.om the Kleberg County Line to the existing city limits and the
Gulf beaches of Mustang Island, north of Mustang Island State Park.
The demographJc makeup of the Mustang-Padre Island Area is not consistent with that of Corpus
Christi. Within the area, about 70% of the population is in the 21 - 64 year age group. Meanwhile,
the City has about 56% of the population in the same age group. The 0 - 20 year age group makes
up about 16% of the Mustang-Padre population, as compared to about 33% for Corpus Christi's
population. This is indicative of the area's status as a resort community. The bulk of the population
is working age adults, with fewer children than the remainder of the City. Also, there is a slightly
higher rate of retirement age (65+) individuals within the area (14%) than the rest of the City
(11%). The proportion of married couples with children citywide is about 49%. Meanwhile,
within the area, only about 27% of married couples have children.

EDUCATION
Educational attainment for individuals age 25 and over differs greatly between the area and Corpus
Christi. Citywide, about 24% lack a high school diploma or equivalent. That statistic is about 5%
for the area. About 45% of Mustang-Padre residents have a bachelor's degree or higher, with 77%
having at least some college. In contrast, only about 20% of Corpus Christi residents have a
bachelor's degree or higher, with 51% having at least some college.
INCOME
Median income in the area is significantly higher and the poverty is significantly lower than the
remainder of the City. The median household income in Mustang-Padre is about $60,200, while
that of Corpus Christi is about $36,400. Also, less than 5.5% of households in the area live below
the poverty level, as compared to the City's 17.55%.
HOUSING
According to the 2000 Census, 8.38% of the total housing units citywide were vacant. For the
area, 27.54% of the total housing units were vacant. This is largely due to the preponderance of
seasonal housing traits in the Mustang-Padre Area. Of the 1,121 vacant housing units in the area,
788 (70.29%) were seasonal units,
which catered largely to tourists
and winter Texans. Citywide, only
15.95% of vacant housing units
were seasonal units.
There is a significant discrepancy
in median home value between
Corpus Christi and Mustang-
Padre. In fact, there is a large
fluctuation in median home value within the area. The median home value citywide is
approximately $72,000. On Mustang Island the median home value is about $154,000, while on
Padre Island it is about $216,000. Possible causes for such differences could be property value,
age of the housing stock, size of homes or a combination of those factors.
CURRENT LAND USE
Table I shows land use acreages by category. The total acreage of 29,506 acres is the total land
area within the Plan area. Water area is specifically excluded. The "Park" category includes parks,
beaches and other publicly held lands and accounts for about 57% of area land. A large portion of
land in the "Vacant" category, an estimated 3,800 acres or 13o/o of the total area, is wetlands. This
illustrates that development is either disallowed or strictly limited in about 70% of the area. Less
than 25% of the area's land remains developable, without significant wetlands mitigation. While
it is tree that wetlands can technically be developed, the mitigation costs oftentimes are
economically infeasible.

A. ENVIRONMENT
Preservation and protection of the Island ecology is critical to the public health, safety,
and welfare of the Corpus Christi community and entire region. The Island ecology,
including the Gulf beach, dunes complex, and wetlands areas, provides significant
benefits to the rest of the region. It is a well-known fact that the Island dunes complex
provides the first line of defense to the mainland from hurricane storm surges. The
Island wetlands and estuaries provide an aquatic environment to support many species
of fish and shellfish for sport and commercial fishing. In addition, the unique beauty
and recreational opportunities of the Islands, specifically the beach areas, benefit the
local and regional economy significantly. Tourism studies have shown that the Gulf
beaches are the number one tourist attxaction to the Corpus Christi area by visitors from
both inside and outside of the State.
In order to balance the need to protect the coastal natural resources of the Islands and to
promote economic development on the Islands, the following recommendations are
proposed. Some of the recommendations are being implemented by other governmental
agencies, i.e.U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nueces County, State of Texas, etc. The
Plan recommendations are intended to assure City support and are not intended to
substitute or establish an overlap or duplication of authority.
POLICY STATEMENT A.I
Gulf beaches between mean Iow tide and the line of vegetation must contain no
structures or improvements except erosion control measures and limited public
recreational structures (llfe guard towers, fishing/surfing piers, open-air public
showers, portable restrooms, traffic control devices, etc.). No paved parking may be
constructed on the Gulf beaches seaward of the foredune ridge. However, unpaved parking would
still be allowed, where not specifically prohibited. Paved public parking will be located on the
backside of the foredunes with dune walkovers providing pedestrian access to the beaches.
POLICY STATEMENT A.2
Prior to issuance of any building permit
for a site, all requirements of state law
with regard to dune protection and
beach access must be satisfied.
POLICY STATEMENT A3
Due to the complexity of Island
development and the need to protect environmentally sensitive areas, the City will require
an interdisciplinary site plan review process for all commercial and mulfifamily
development on the Islands, in conjunction with the issuance of building permits.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November !!, 2003
Page 8
The site plan review process saves
permitting time by assuring a
thorough review at the beginning of
the project. The site plan will clearly
indicate the location of dunes,
jurisdictional wetlands, floodplains,
public beach easement, etc. in relation
to any proposed improvements. The
process should include a turn-around
time of one week or less within the
existing timeframe of building permit issuance (approximately three weeks). The site plan review
process will ensure coordination between City Staff and facilitate the "one stop" development
concept. In addition to what is already required, site plans within this area must be drawn to
scale and must include at least the following (as applicable):
A) All requirements of state law with regard to dune protection and beach access must be
satisfied with appropriate permit numbers indicated on the site plan and construction
limitations indicated on the lot;
B) Where available, if previously obtained, an existing preliminary determination of
jurisdictional wetlands or a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdictional wetlands
determination provided and appropriate permit references will be indicated on the site plan;
C) If a site is subject to architectural design zoning standards, a note regarding the architectural
theme of the development and exterior building materials; and
D) Shoreline areas must include a slate land survey of not less than five years old.
POLICY STATEMENT A.4
Mustang and Padre Islands will not be considered for sanitary landfills or other solid waste
disposal, except for dredge materials.
POLICY STATEMENT A.5
The design and use of naturally regenerating systems for prevention and control of beach
erosion are encouraged and preferred over bulkheads and other hard structures and the
protection is a reasonable solution to the site where it is proposed. Regenerating systems
include, but are not limited to:
A) Beach nourishment
B) Planting with short-term mechanical assistance, when appropriate
C) Any other method consistent with the recommendations of the Texas General Land Office's
Dune Protection and Improvement Manual for the Texas Gulf Coast
POLICY STATEMENT A.6
Underwater pipelines carrying materials harmful or polentially injurious Io aquatic life
and/or waler quality must be provided with shut off apparatus at each end of the
underwater segment.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November 18, 2003
Page 9
POLICY STATEMENT A.7
The City will encourage the protection of sensitive wildlife habitats and the island
environment by considering innovative design techniques, implementation of incentives for
developers and allowing higher than typical development density in uplands where
practical. It is not the intent of this plan to initiate requirements for protection of non-
jurisdictional wetlands. The City encourages any developer io voluntarily preserve the existing
natural enviromnem by concentrating the total allowed number of units allowed, based on gross
acreage, into a multi-story building or buildings. This "cluster development" results in large
setbacks, buffer zones, reduced infrastructure costs and more permanent open space.
POLICY STATEMENT A.8
The City will develop a revision to the landscape requirements in the Zoning Ordinance to
create an indigenous species and wetlands allowance for landscaping on the barrier islands.
New development may incorporate natural wetlands and vegetation to partially satisfy landscape
requirements where such features can meet the screening performance crileria.

B. LAND USE
FUTURE LAND USE
Table 2 illustrates future land use acreages by category.
PLAN STATEMENT B.1
The City Council, hereby, adopts Figures 4 and 5 as the guide for future land use
decisions. The intent of the future land use plan is to support environmentally sound,
high-density tourist related growth, medium-density mixed uses and residential land use
on the Islands. The plan provides for a compatible configuration of activities with
emphasis on the protection of residential activities from incompatible activities, the
placement of commercial activities at locations with good access and high visibility, and
the identification of environmentally sensitive areas that should be preserved.
POLICY STATEMENT B.2
The City's plan for development on Padre and Mustang Island includes the
following policies:
A) High-density residential development will be encouraged along the Gulf side of
State Highway 361 north of the State Park to the City limits.
B) The development and maintenance of Packery Channel will be vigorously supported. Capital
improvement projects located in or serving areas in the Padre Island TIF District are
considered a high priority.
C) Tourist oriented business and development will continue to be encouraged as illustrated on the
Future Land Use Map. This includes commercial ventures, condominiums and resorts, fishing
and outdoor recreation facilities, and travel trailer parks.
D) Development that is visible from a designated arterial thoroughfare must have a consistent
urban design theme integral to creating a "sense of place", enhancing the "visitor experience",
and augmenting the
overall quality of life.
E) To enhance the beauty
and aesthetic appeal of
Mustang and Padre
Islands, landscape
requirements for street
yards adjacent to Park
Rd. 22 and State
Highway 361 will be of
a higher standard than
is typically allowed elsewhere in the City. The requirement will be 0.04 points (twice the
norm) of landscaping per square foot under the current landscape ordinance. Variances,
special permits, or other means to reduce the landscaping requirements for development in
this Plan Area will be strongly discouraged.

POLICY STATEMENT B.3
The purpose of the "Mixed Use" land use category in the Future Land Use Plan is intended to
provide flexibility to developers. However, this is not intended to imply that a developer is
unencumbered in reference to future land use. Rather, the developer is expected to provide
integrated land uses with a high quality, functional transportation network, as well as pedestrian
and bicycle amenities. Realizing the importance of the "Mixed Use" land use category to the
overall economic vitality of the entire city, the highest quality of development is to be expected.
In order to obtain these expectations, development within a "Mixed Use" area must occur as
a Planned Unit Development (PUD).
A) Mixed use/residential - A minimum of 90% of the land use by acreage in this category must
be residential. Low intensity neighborhood business, medium density residential, recreational and
various tourist or water oriented land uses may be integrated as approved by a PUD overlay.
"Cluster developments" are preferred and encouraged on Mustang Island, west of State Highway
361, provided the density does not exceed the overall density of eight dwelling units per acre.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November 11, 2005
Page 12
B) Mixed use/tourist - A minimum of 75% of the land use by acreage in this category must be
tourist/water oriented. Uses may include bed and breakfasts, hotels, condominiums,
marinas/vessel repair and maintenance, convention facilities, ancillary commercial uses, etc. Such
uses may be integrated with other commercial and medium/high density residential as approved
by a PUD overlay.
C) Mixed use/commercial - A minimum of 51% of the land use by acreage in this category must
be retail commercial. Other tourist/water oriented and medium/high density residential uses may
be integrated as approved by a PUD overlay.
POLICY STATEMENT B.4
Park Rd. 22 and State Highway 361 (on Padre Island) are hereby designated as "Gateway
Corridors." The purpose of designating these corridors is to recognize and protect the
cultural, economic and environmental significance of this area. The design elements and
allowable architectural themes of these designated corridors will be implemented through
the zoning ordinance. Such architectural design themes may include elements found in coastal
regions such as Cape Cod, Key West, the Carolinas, thc Caribbean, Spain, Mediterranean, South
Texas, etc. Thc purpose of this policy is to help create a "sense of place" and increase the quality
of architecture found in the area.
POLICY STATEMENT B.5 - South ETJ Boundary to South City Limits
The Texas General Land Office owns this area in its entirety. Currently, the land is undeveloped
with only a few oil and gas extraction activities on the property. Regarding development in this
area, the following policies apply:
A) The area must be preserved as an area of natural coastal habitat while providing for increase
public access to the Gulf beaches and the Laguna Ma&re Shorelines.
B) Any use or development of the land or a portion thereof must have a significant beneficial
impact on the region or the state.
Potential uses for this area include:
1) Beach and Laguna access roads at a spacing of approximately 2 miles apart (current
spacing is 8 miles) are critically needed for emergency vehicle and enhanced public access
2) Recreational vehicle parks, camping, fishing, hiking, boat ramps, parking, lookouts, etc.
3) Wind and solar power generation on a limited basis may be acceptable
4) Small and large scale desalination facilities on the west side of South Pa&re Island
Drive/Park Road 22
5) Temporary armed services training for national defense
6) Permanent open space preserX, e
POLICY STATEMENT B.6 - South City Limits to Zahn Rd.
Regarding development in this area, the following policies apply:
A) Pa&re Isles Property Owners Association will be invited to comment on rezoning cases and
the site plan review process. Strip commercial development should be discouraged along
South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22. Commercial proposals providing substantial acreage
and a planned commercial cluster are to be encouraged.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November 18, 2003
Page 13
B) Lower intensity commercial activities will be encouraged at the intersections of South Padre
Island Drive/Park Road 22 and Jackfish, and at South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 and
Aquarius Drive. These two intersections will provide service to a smaller residential
population located in the vicinity and will also require less intersection capacity. Therefore,
low intensity commercial activities will be appropriate.
C) Commercial areas of
medium to high intensity
will occur at South Padre
Island Drive/Park Road
22 and Sea Pines,
Encantada, Whitecap, and
Commodores Drive.
These intersections will
provide access to most of the residential population and will require intersection
improvements to accommodate future traffic. For these reasons, medium to high intensity
commercial activities are appropriate.
D) The intersections of South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 with State Highway 361 and
South Padre Island Drive/park Road 22 with Whitecap will be developed with high intensity
commercial activities. Such commercial activities will serve both the visitor and permanent
resident populations. However, heavy commercial activities that might include outdoor
storage and/or activities that due to their physical characteristics would not contribute to the
visitor environment will not be allowed. Activities generally as considered high intensity
commercial include, but are not limited to grocery stores, building material yards, open
storage and warehousing.
E) The area referred to as the Village (either side of the high bridge), must be developed under
special mixed-use standards consistent with The Village Master Plan. Appropriate
development of this site is particularly important since it is one of the first areas that motorists
passing over the high bridge will see.
F) Property located west of Nueces County Packery Channel Park is proposed for mixed-
use/tourist development due to the high visibility location on South Padre Island Drive and
access to Packery Channel. Access out of the site must align with the existing median cuts on
South Padre Island Drive/park Road 22 to facilitate future signalization.
G) Industrial uses are incompatible with and may threalen low-density residential land uses, the
natural environment and the tourist orientation of the Islands. Such uses are to be discouraged
from locating on the barrier islands. Several industrial uses are located adjacent to South
Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22. Each of these uses must not be permitted to expand. For
those industrial uses that are non-conforming, the City will seek removal of the uses unless
the property owner can provide sufficient screening and landscaping, thus mitigating the
undesirable impacts of the industrial use. Gas and energy production is exempted from this
policy, where allowed by law, so long as all pertinent requirements are met.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November 11, 2003
Page 14
H) The City, County, and State will work together to promote public parking areas in proximity
to public beaches. All plans for public beach access and parking facilities on State land must
be approved by the Texas Attorney General's office. State law requires that beach access be
preserved. However, the local government has the authority to define the degree of access that
is permitted along the beach. Due to the narrow beach area in front of the sea wall, and the
safely problems presented
by heavy vehicular and
pedestrian traffic, the City
occasionally blocks off the
beach to vehicular traffic.
The City has acquired
property for a public parking
lot (approx. 300 spaces) at a
central location behind the
sea wall. This will allow the
beach segment between
Leeward Beach and
Whitecap Beach to remain open to pedestrian traffic and use by the public, while being closed
by the City or County to vehicular traffic. (This recommendation is also provided in the JFK
Causeway Recreation Area Master Plan study.)
POLICY STATEMENT B.7 - Zahn Rd. to Port Aransas
Regarding development in this area, the following policies apply:
A) The area located north of the State Park on the east side of State Highway 361 is planned for
high-density tourist/residential uses. A number of high-density condominiums have already
been built in this area and it is recommended that these activities be continued on vacant lots
in the area.
B) The area north of Zahn Road and east of State Highway 361 exlanding to the County-owned
parkland is planned for high-density mixed-use tourist land uses. This low-lying area has a
significant amount of wetlands, which may make it difficult to develop. However, it will have
excellent access to the Packery Channel and adjacent commercial areas. Due to its proximity
to the proposed visitor-oriented activities along Packery Channel, the area is suitable for
commercial beach support activities, such as restaurants, surf shops, etc.
C) The area located north oftbe State Park on the west side of State Highway 361 is planned for
residential mixed uses and conservation. Large portions of this area are composed of low-
lying wet]ands. Due to the sensitive nature of these lands and because the area does not have
direct access to the Gulf, a maximum overall residential density of 8 units per acre will be
allowed. Cluster-type developments will be encouraged through the use of incentives and are
preferred over traditional residential development patterns. Commercial uses at intersections
with collectors along State Highway 361 are appropriate.
D) Planned commercial uses at the intersection of collector streets may be considered on a case-
by-case basis as development pressure occurs. Strip commercial development will be
prohibited along State Highway 361, unless professionally recognized access management
techniques are provided (marginal access, shared driveways, etc.). This will enhance public
safety and preserve the traffic capacity of State Highway 361. Refer to Figure 5 for
appropriate placement of commercial ]and uses.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November l & 2003
Page 15
E) A primary goal is to acquire parkland dedication committed from the Terra Mar Subdivision.
The preferred locations for the park acquisition are adjacent to the Wilson Cut near State
Highway 361 or adjacent to Corpus Christi Bay to facilitate water related recreational
activities.
F) Preserve and enhance public beach access at approximate one half-mile intervals.
G) Vehicular access along the Gulf beach shall not be restricted unless necessary for public
safety.
POLICY STATEMENT B.8 - JFK Causeway
Regarding development in this area, the following policies apply:
A) The bait and fishing stands located
along the John F. Kennedy (JFK)
Causeway are at the primary
entrance to the Island and are
among the first sights visitors see
of the Island. The City will place a
high priority on the visual
enhancement of this area.
B) Paved parking and structural
improvements will be required.
C) The City will encourage efforts to
beautify, enhance, preserve and
protect the area.
POLICY STATEMENT B.9
Utility lines will be placed underground, where possible, and will minimize disturbance of
wetlands, dunes, or other sensitive habitats. This will improve the aesthetics of the area and
improve public safety, particularly in times of weather emergencies.
A) The installation of new electrical, telephone or other utility lines along expressways, arterials,
and collector streets, or the substantial expansion of existing electrical, telephone, or other
utility lines along these roadways must be accomplished underground or underwater.
B) To the extent practicable, all new utility lines must be located or constructed within existing
utility corridors. Existing utility lines are to be relocated underground wherever possible, as
the City and/or State undertake highway-widening projects.
POLICY STATEMENT B.10
As indicated by Senate Bill 478 of the 70th legislature, the State, for any State land proposed to
be leased for non-governmental purposes, may develop a plan in the best interest of the State to
secure needed zoning or other land-use regulation from the City. The City will work together
with the General Land Office to formulate a plan and appropriate zoning regulations to
allow development to take place in an orderly manner. Once approved by the City and the
State, such plans will enable the City 1o apply all agreed to development ordinances and
standards.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November 11, 2003
Page 16
POLICY STATEMENT B.11
To insure compatibility of energy production activities and tourist-oriented development, the City
will develop design compatibility guidelines and require new oil and gas producers to conform to
these standards. Development plans for extraction or support facilities will undergo site plan
review and inspection for compliance and appropriate screening will be required.
POLICY STATEMENT B.12
Evaluation of proposals for specific recreational vehicle (RV) sites will be based on
compatibility with existing and future land use, access to arterials or expressways, access to
beach/water areas, access to wastewater facilities, and the evaluation criteria in this section.
The Islands are the number one destination point for visitors that come to Corpus Christi and
because of the sensitive island ecology, RV sites must be s~'ategically located on the Islands. In
addition, access to the City wastewater system is preferable to the installation of septic systems to
serve these activities. Existing RV sites include the County's Padre Balli Park, Mustang Island
State Park and the Padre Island National Seashore. Applicable design standards pertain to design
of internal access drives, travel trailer spacing, maximum density, recreational areas, lighting,
signage, refuse disposal, and the accessory uses allowed within the park. Additionally, T-lA
Zoning District regulations require that the travel trailer park be screened from public streets,
highways, and adjacent property by a standard screening fence.
POLICY STATEMENT B.13
The following additional criteria will be applied to the evaluation of RV proposals:
A) The proposed travel trailer/RV park will be located with direct access to an arterial street, or
interstate highway as indicated on the adopted City's Urban Transportation Plan.
B) Sufficient infrastructure will be in place, or provided by the developer, to serve the needs of
the proposed RV park.
C) A landscaping plan will be required for the purpose of creating an am'active RV park and an
aesthetically appealing view from adjacent public rights-of-way. Minimum design objectives
for RV park landscaping will be:
a. A 30-foot greenspace/open area, to be landscaped and maintained by the property owner,
must be provided along the periphery of the RV park when adjacent to a single-family
residential zoning district.
b. Palm or Live Oak plantings along all street frontages. Trees must be planted at 30-fl. on
center, within 5 feet of the right-of-way line and a minimum of 7-foot trunk height.
c. Landscape screening (oleanders, salt cedars, etc.) along arterial and collector frontages
D) A site plan will be submitted with the zoning application indicating, in detail, the
following:
1) Internal access drives
2) TraveURV spaces or lots
3) Location and type of accessory uses
4) Parking spaces
5) Location and size of recreation/amenity area, including restrooms with showers, laundry
facilities, playground, and public facilities
6) Signage (interior and exterior)
7) Location and screening or refuse containers
8) Landscaping (interior and exterior)
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November lg, 2003
Page 17
9) Landscape screening
10) Sidewalks (if proposed)
11) Boat launching facilities (if proposed)
POLICY STATEMENT B.14
The minimization of curb and median cuts along South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22
and State Highway 361 is a primary objective of this plan. Median breaks and curb cuts along
South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 and Slate Highway 361 will be allowed only at
intersections with roadways designated as collector or arterial. To reduce future curb cuts and
create a more unified type of development, the City will encourage marginal access along South
Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 and State Highway 361. To encourage efficient circulation,
future signalization, etc., median and marginal access road curb cuts must not be offset. Such ents
will be directly across from each other, allowing safer crossing of the roadway.
A) Many of the properties along South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 have narrow lot widths
(25'). This creales the potential for numerous curb cuts and a haphazard type of commercial
development.
B) The City will amend the Platting and Zoning ordinance to include minimum lot size
requirement for each residential and commercial district in this area. This amendment will
help prevent inadequate lot sizes and the potential for a proliferation of curb cuts similar to the
current situation on South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22.
C) The sharing of driveway access by adjacent lots will be encouraged and incentives created to
accomplish this objective.

C. TRANSPORTATION
POLICY STATEMENT C.1
No significant changes to thc Corpus Christi Urban Transportation Plan map are
recommended at this time. Any policy in this section that suggests changes to the
Urban Transportation Plan will be implemented as an amendment to that plan.
Figures 6 and 7 illustrate the Transportation Plan for this area.
POLICY STATEMENT C.2
Emergency access offthe Islands is important now and will become more important as
the Island population grows. The City, in coordinating with the federal, state, and
county governments, will develop a long-term emergency action plan for
maintaining sufficient emergency access off the Islands.
PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION C.3
The City will develop a program that will identify those public or public/private
transportation improvements that would directly benefit the local tourist
industry. Once identified, these potential improvements will be prioritized through
cos'dbenefit analysis and incorporated into the Capital Improvements Program.
POLICY STATEMENT C.4
The City reserves the opportunity to create a second elevated bridge structure
crossing of the Laguna Madre as part of the proposed South Loop project.
A) The Texas General Land Office now owns most of the property south of the
Kleberg County line. This severely limits the amount of development possible in
that portion of the area. Therefore, the absolute need for such a crossing has been
greatly diminished.
B) For the foreseeable future, the improvements to the J.F. Kennedy Causeway will be
sufficient to handle emergency access offthe Islands.
C) The purpose of the second crossing would be to direct traffic away from the City
and to relieve the traffic demand at the interchange of South Padre Island Drive and
1-37. Experience has shown that during hurricane emergencies, traffic backs up on South
Padre Island Drive and portions of 1-37. The second crossing should be linked-up with the
regional transportation network such that traffic is funneled away fi'om the City without
further exacerbation of these problem areas.
D) Should development and population trends indicate a possible need for such a crossing, a
feasibility study will be undertaken which addresses:
Need
· Location
· Timing
· Cost and funding
· Economic and environmental impacts
· COBRA implications
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November l& 2003
Page 19
POLICY STATEMENT C.5
To facilitate access management on South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 and State
Highway 361, future development will require access controls, i.e. marginal access drives,
shared driveways, shared parking, etc. Implementation may occur via the Transportation Plan
or incentives such as parking credits.
POLICY STATEMENT C.6
The City will minimize direct driveway access to Park Rd. 22 and State Highway 361 to
promote public safco/, minimize access conflict points and preserve road capacity. A
possible concept is illustrated in Figures 8 for Park Road 22. Design objectives will be:
A) Unless adjacent to a public park, provide parallel marginal access roadways to compliment the
ultimate development along Park Rd. 22 and State Highway 361
B) Only streets designated as collectors or arterials will be allowed to directly intersect State
Highway 361. All other roadways and driveways would access Park Rd. 22 and State
Highway 361 via the marginal access roads, where provided.
C) Provide bicycle lanes along the marginal access roadways to facilitate tourism and public
safety
D) Provide curbs and gutters with adequate storm water drainage system, if deemed feasible
E) Provide ample landscaping in the public right-of-way to promote an attractive, tourist-oriented
environment
POLICY STATEMENT C.7
Development trends and patterns support the following standards, as illustrated on the
City's Transportation Plan, for public beach access roads. Spacing is approximately one mile
in Nueces County Beach areas on Mustang and Padre Islands. In Kleberg County the spacing
standard for public beach access roads is I - 2 miles. This design standard will provide sufficient
access while discouraging unnecessary cuts through the dunes.
POLICY STATEMENT C.8
The City ~vill pursue grants, capital improvement programming, and hotel/motel tax
revenue for acquisition and improvement of public beach access.
POLICY RECOMMENDATION C.9
The CiO/supports locating terminal sites for high-speed water transportation in the area.
Possible locations include Packery Channel and the Intracoastal Waterway. However, any
proposed site must be located and designed to mitigale any negative noise, traffic, or other effects
that wonld be detrimental to adjacent existing/proposed uses. Providing a buffer of open space,
screening, landscaping, terminal design and or/entation, etc. may reduce such negative effects.
A) The Zoning Ordinance may be reviewed and amended, if necessary, to address water
Iransportation terminal sites. Development of any water transportation terminal site must be
reviewed by the Planning Commission/City Council to assure appropriate buffering measures
will be built into the terminal design.
B) Initially, emphasis will be placed on locating a terminal site to accommodate the visitor or
day-tripper population. The primary market for the HSWT is expected to be the visitor or day-
tripper, rather than the commuter.

D. PUBLIC SERVICES
POLICY STATEMENT D.1 - PARKS & RECREATION
The City will research possible additional funding mechanisms to facilitate beach
cleaning. The current beach fee system does not fully fund beach cleaning operations. A
repor~ on the research findings will be submitted to the Director of Parks and Recreation
and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee. Possible funding options may
include:
A) Increases in the current fee and permit syslem
B) Federal and State grants
C) Creation of day-use areas that require an entry fee
POLICY STATEMENT D.2 - PARKS & RECREATION
The park dedication requirement in the
Plaaing Ordinance will be amended to
specify that the developer will be required
to make specified park improvements
concurrent with the residential
development. This will help improve the
delivery of park services and ensure the
adequate development of parks.
POLICY STATEMENT D.3 -
PARKS & RECREATION
This policy statement is in reference to the
dedication of parkland (45.95 acres) in the Commodore's Cove Unit II, Cape Summer
Unit I and Cape Summer Unit Il developments. The requirement for obtaining the
required park dedication will be: Commodore's Cove Unit II - the developer will
fully improve the existing Commodore's Park to standards approved by the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Committee using monies-in-lieu of land dedication. Cape Summer
Units l and Il - the developer will provide a fully improved park, 10 acres in size. The
park located in the Cape Summer development must be centrally located to both Unit I
and Unit II. Such park improvements must also be to standards approved by the Parks
and Recreation Advisory Comanittee. This policy, therefore, requires that of the 45.95 acres of
park dedication, 10 acres will be in land and the remaining will be monies-in-lieu. The developer
will use such monies, exhausting the remaining amount, to complete the aforementioned
improvements and must do so before the residential development is 50% complete before the City
will accept such dedication.
POLICY STATEMENT D.4 - PUBLIC SAFETY
The City will keep statistics on the number of crimes where the criminal element uses the
canal system for access or escape. Currently, the number of crimes that have occurred with
access/escape from the water areas is not known but it is believed that there is not a problem of
sufficient magnitude to warrant a water patrol. Monitoring of this concern will allow the City to
identify trends and determine when a water patrol might be necessary.
Mustang-Padre Island .4rea Development Plan
Draft November 18, 2003
Page 21
POLICY STATEMENT D.5 - PUBLIC SAFETY
The City will pursue an interlocal agreement with Kleberg County regarding policing of the
beach between the city limit line and the National Seashore. Thc distance between this stretch
of beach and Kingsville, where the Klcberg County Seat is located, is a deterrent to proactive law
enforcement efforts. The public safety would be well served by enhanced law enforcement
presence.
POLICY STATEMENT D.6 - STORMWATER SYSTEM
The City will conduct a critical analysis and needs assessment of the area's storm drainage
system and amend the Storm Water Drainage Master Plan as determined necessary based
on the study's results. TbAs is considered to be a high priority.
POLICY STATEMENT D.7 - WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS
Figures 9 and 10 illusWate existing CiD' water and wastcwmer mains and provide projections for
ultimate growth. These figures will be used for planning for future expansion of the water
and wastewater systems.
POLICY STATEMENT D.8 - PROVISION OF SERVICES
The City will support and facilitate the creation of a public improvement district to provide
public infrastructure improvements in portions of the area not adequately supported by
existing public infrastructure. The City would finance such improvemcnts and assess thc costs
in an equitable manner among district property owners in accordance with Chapter 372 of the
Texas Local Government Code.
POLICY STATEMENT D.9 - PROVISION OF SERVICES
The area south of Mustang Island State Park receives all services from the City of Corpus Christi.
Nueces County Water Improvement Dis~ct No. 4 provides water and wastewater services to the
State Park and areas north of the State Park, with the City providing all other services. This
arrangement will continue for the foreseeable future. The City will continue to work closely
with the District in the future to identify issues and ensure adequate provision of
infrastructure and services to the District's service area. This will include:
A) Creation of joint/compatible development standards betwcen City and District No. 4
B) Provision of adequate and reliable water scrvlces to all ama property owners
C) Provision of adequate and reliable wastcwater services to all area property owners

E. DUNE PROTECTION
INTRODUCTION
State law requires all coastal counties (or coastal cities that have been delegated
authority by counties) to protect critical dunes and dune vegetation from direct or
indirect adverse effects of construction in a critical dune area or seaward of the dune
protection line. Thc sand dunes that lend beauty to the coastal landscape also serve an
invaluablc practical purpose - they give resilience to the barrier island shoreline. Sand
dunes are a coastal community's front line of defense against tropical storms and
hurricanes. By absorbing the force of the storm surge, critical sand dunes help prevent
in]and property loss and the loss of lives.
Protecting critical sand dunes is the least expensive and most efficient defense against
storm-surge flooding and beach erosion. Critical sand dunes prevent or delay intrusion
of floodwaters into inland areas. Dunes hold sand that replaces eroded beaches after
storms and buffer windblown sand and salt spray. This natural defense can be
strengthened by increasing the height and stability of existing dunes and by building
new ones.
The growth of coastal population and the increasing development and recreational use of
the barrier is]ands, threaten the stability of the dune environment. Construction and
heavy recreational use of the beaches and dunes contribute to dune deterioration. The
vegetation that secures sand is destroyed, sand is lost, and roads, trails and storm runoff
breach the dune ridge. Dune damage that results from human activities accelerates the
damage caused by the ever-present wind and wave action.
Inland areas become more vulnerable to hurricanes and tropical storms when the
continuous dune ridge is weakened. Protecting dunes also preserves and enhances the
beauty of the coast. To succeed, dune improvement and protection efforts must be
undertaken by federal, state, and local government entities. But even more valuable are
dune protection efforts by property owners who recognize the value of a viable dune
system.
DUNE PROTECTION LINE
POLICY STATEMENT E.1
The City will continue to enforce dune protection and beachfron! construction regulations
in Kleberg County and will continue to encourage Nueees County to delegate dune
protection authority to Corpus
Christi for areas within the
City's jurisdiction. The City
has been authorized to establish
and enforce dune protection
regulations in Kleberg County
and has requested such authority
from Nueces County. The Dune
Mustang-Padre Island .4rea Development Plan
Draft November 1,$, 2003
Page 2.t
Protection Line as established by the City of Corpus Christi, in the City's corporate boundaries in
Kleberg County will be effective for Nueces County upon delegation. This Dune Protection Line
generally coincides with the maximum allowable distance by state law - 1,000 feet landward of
mean high tide at the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico. This line will also coincide with Nueces
County's existing Dune Protection Line, which has been in effect since 1973. The Dune
Protection and Beachfront Construction boundaries are illustrated in Figure 11.
POLICY STATEMENT E.2
The only exception to established dune protection policy is the area landward of the North
Padre Island Seawall ("Seawall"). The City will continue to support exemption of the Seawall
area from dune protection guidelines. Several important factors distinguish the area behind the
Seawall from all other areas adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico within Nueces County:
A) The dunes located landward of the Seawall do not meet the following criteria for critical
dunes:
1) Sand does not return to beach
2) Isolated area does not contribute to dunes systems to north or south
3) The Seawall serves as protection from storm surge and no dunes exist to provide the same
protection in this area.
B) The area is protected from storm surges by the
significant Seawall improvemems of the Padre Isles
and Lake Padre developments.
The area between the Seawall and Leeward Drive is
completely outside the 100-year floodplain as
designated by the Federal Insurance Administration.
The area landward of Leeward Drive is within flood
zones Al3 (elevations 9 or 10 feet above mean sea
level): the same flood designations as most of the
Padre Isles development.
For the reasons stated above, the man-made dunes west of the concrete seawall are not "critical
dunes" and are not subject to dune protection regulations.
DUNE PROTECTION PERMIT E.3
The Dune Protection Line serves to identify which dunes are "critical dune areas" as defined by
slate law. Its placement determines what areas within a proposed development require a Dune
Protection Permit before construction may begin. The City of Corpus Christi will administer the
Dune Protection Permit process for those areas within its city limits and its extraterritorial
jurisdiction within Kleberg County. However, in Nueces County, Corpus Christi has not been
granted dune protection authority. As such, it is the on]y city on the Texas Gulf Coast that has not
been delegated dune protection authority by its respective county. Because of separate
jurisdictional authority, coordination between the City, Nueces County and Kleberg County will
be critical to the success of the City's Dune Prolection Regulations and its administration. This
coordinstion will ensure that the policies and objectives of the Texas Coastal Managemem
Program will be implemented in an efficient manner. Specifics on the regulatory requirements of
the City of Corpus Christi's Dune Protection Permit are contained in the "Dune Protection and
Beach Access Regulations" under applicable sections addressing dune protection. Portions of the
Mustang-Padre lsland Area Development Plan
Draft November 11, 2003
Page 24
plan dealing with dune protection include required findings, prohibited activities, and the
"mitigation sequence" of development in or near critical dune areas. The mitigation sequence
consists of four basic alternatives to dune protection. These four alternatives include avoidance,
minimization, mitigation, and compensation and are addressed in detail in the Dune Protection
and Beach Access Regulations, Chapter 10 of the City Code.
POLICY STATEMENT E.4
The City will continue to pursue delegation of dune permit authority by Nueces County in
order to create a single approval authority for dune permitting, beaehfront construction
certificate and platting. This will facilitate the "one-stop" development process adopted by the
City. The current process of obtaining approval of a proposed development requires that the
County and the City both approve a plan. The submission, presentation and fees are redundant.
The current process is a hindrance to economic development within City jurisdiction and gives
other cities, like Port Aransas, a competitive advantage in attracting development. Nueces County
granted Port Aransas dune protection authority in 1986 and Kleberg County granted the same to
Corpus Christi that same year. The City of Corpus Christi maintains that it is at least as qualified
to hold such authority.
POLICY
STATEMENT E.5
Ali pedestrian
walkovers will be
built over the dunes
with ramps in a
manner that
minimizes curling
through or removal of the dunes in accordance with the Texas GLO guidelines. Such
structures must comply with the recommendations of the Texas General Land Office's Dune
Protection and Improvement Manual for the Texas Gulf Coast.

F. BEACH ACCESS
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this section is to preserve and enhance the public's right to use and have
access to and from the public beach and to support the providing of standards certifying
construction on land adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico consistent with such public rights.
The geographic scope of the City's jurisdiction for beach access includes all areas
within the City's corporate limits and its extraterritorial jurisdiction on Padre and
Mustang Island located between the Gulf beach and the closest paralleling public
roadway or 1,000 feet, whichever is greater. In addition, the City is authorized to
regulate the platting of property and to annex properties within the City's exlxaterdtorial
jurisdiction. Two areas are exempted by General Land Office rules from local
beachfront construction certification requirements. These exempted areas are the
Mustang Island State Park and the Padre Island National Seashore. The City is
requesting State and Federal agencies controlling beachfront property to provide
enhanced access and parking facilities. In addition, certain uses and development such
as oil and gas exploration and livestock grazing are exempted from the requirements of a
dune protection permit, but not a beachfront construction certificate.
Shoreline areas experiencing erosion are of particular concern, as any structures located
adjacent to these areas will be at the highest risk of damage in the shortest time period.
Under rules established by the General Land Office, which are applicable to both beach
access and dune protection review procedures, construction in the eroding areas must be
responsive to the risk of erosion in the future. An erosion area boundary has been
identified through utilizing erosion data provided by the Bureau of Economic Geology.
This boundary projects potential erosion 50 years into the future. Additional
construction standards will apply within this area. These standards are included within
the Dune Protection and Beach Access Regulations.
EXISTING BEACH ACCESS
Approximately 24.7 miles of public beach is within the city limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction
of the City. Currently, seven vehicular roads provide public access to the 14.7 miles of public
beach within the Corpus Christi's area of control with 3 additional beach access roads located
within State and National parks. An additional 10 miles of beach are in either the exempted areas
of the Mustang Island State Park or the Padre Island National Seashore. Beach Access Road # 2
is located approximately one-half mile north of the northern boundary of Mustang Island State
Park. This is the only beach access road between the State Park and Beach Access Road # 1,
located approximately 7.3 miles north of Beach Access Road #2 and 3.6 miles north of the Port
Aransas city limits.
All of the remaining ten beach access roads within the City of Corpus Christi's area of control are
concentrated within a four-mile area between Beach Access Road #3 and Beach Access Road # 6.
This area includes the Seawall and Nueces County's Padre Balli Park and Packery Channel;
Mustang-Padre Island ~4rea Development Plan
Draft November 11, 2003
Page 26
The Mustang Island State Park entrance road provides the only vehicular access to the two-mile
long public beach between Fish Pass and south to the vehicular barrier located 0.3 miles north of
Beach Access Road #3. Beach Access Road//3 is located within Mustang Island State Park and
approximately 3/4 mile north of the State Park's southern boundary. It provides access to the
beach between the State Park's vehicular barrier on the north side of Corpus Christi Pass and Zahn
Road. Beach Access Road 'SNorth", as it is cormnonly referenced, is located approximately one
mile south of the northern boundary of the
Padre Island National Seashore. This road
provides the only beach access road
between Beach Access Road # 6 and the
vehicular barrier just south of Access
Road '~North" at the north end of the
National Seashore, a distance of
approximately eight miles.
A barricaded parking and day-use area
exists on a portion of the public beach
between Padre Balli Park entrance road
and Bob Hall Pier. Vehicular txaffic is
routed immediately landward of both of
these areas.
Currently, most of the public beach within the City's jurisdiction is fully accessible to vehicular
traffic and public parking on the beach. The only restriction on vehicular traffic and public
on-beach parking exist along the Seawall. Public parking is prohibited and vehicular traffic is
restricted to one-way southbound along the Seawall because the public beach has eroded to the
point that the remaining narrow beach area will not permit safe two-way traffic or parking.
POLICY STATEMENT F.1
The City of Corpus Chrisli will continue the issuance of Beachfront Construction
Certificates within the City's area of jurisdiction. The purpose of the Beachfront Construction
Certificate in regard to beach access is to ensure the rights of the public are being adequately
protected.
BEACH ACCESS POLICIES F.2
This section provides the long-range policies and objectives addressing vehicular and pedeslrian
access to the public beaches and public beach parking. The General Land Office (GLO) rules are
very specific as to the requirements of a beach access plan. The central concern as stated in the
Purpose and Scope section is to protect the public's right to use and have access to and from the
public beach and of providing standards certifying construction on land adjacent lo the Gulf of
Mexico consistent with such public rights.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November 1~, 2003
Page 27
The existing beach access system may be adequate now and in the near future for assuring
adequate access to the public beach. However, numerous natural and man-made processes have
caused significant erosion of the public beaches along the Gulf Coast, including Mustang and
Padre Islands. Figure 12 is an inventory of the Beach Access System. If these processes
continue, as they are projected to, the public beach may become so narrow that continued
vehicular use of the beach might be physically impossible or pose a threat to public safety. Future
opportunities for providing public access to the public beach may be seriously diminished as
development of private property landward of the public beach occurs. Also, the increased use of
public beaches will create conflicts with vehicular and pedestrian movement.
The City must achieve, at a minimum, the following policies and objectives:
A) For vehicular circulation and public safety, dedication of collector roadways, as a function of
platting, will be utilized to achieve collector spacing as follows:
· In the Kleberg County portion of the City's ETJ, three additional beach access roads will
be provided at approximately two-mile intervals.
· North of Mustang Island State Park, the City will use dedication or condemnation to
ultimately provide beach access roads at approximately one-mile intervals.
B) The City will purchase pedestrian beach access points and associated parking at
approximately one-mile intervals, alternating with vehicular access points (see Figure 7). The
primary funding mechanism for these acquisitions will be Slate and Federal grants, capital
improvement programming and hotel/motel tax revenue.
C) The City will regulate pedestrian and vehicular beach access, traffic, and parking on the beach
only in a manner that preserves or enhances existing public right to use and have access to and
fi.om the beach.
D) The City will not pursue closure of any portion of the public beach to vehicular traffic,
without an overwhelming public safety concern. However, protected pedestrian and beach
user areas may be provided on the beach, only as considered necessary for public safety. The
purpose of the protected areas is to separate vehicular traffic from pedestrian and beach user
areas while also providing through movement of traffic.
E) The City will not impair or close an existing access point or close a public beach to pedestrian
or vehicular traffic without prior approval from the GLO. For the purposes of this Plan,
beach access and use is presumed to be preserved if the following criteria are met:
1) Public parking on or adjacent to the beach accommodates a minimum of one car for each
15 linear feet of beach.
2) Where vehicles are prohibited from driving on and along the beach, public access ways
are no farther apart than 1/2 mile. The spacing standard may be altered based on factors
such as existing beach access roads, dune formations, washouts, breaches, blowouts,
wetlands, platting, blockage of ownership, and exlsling development. However, each
ingress/egress access way for pedestrians must be based on the maximum spacing of 1/2
mile.
3) Signage must be posted to conspicuously explain the nature and extent of vehicular
controls, parking areas, and access points. The City may establish its own beach access
and use standards for GLO approval and certification if the GLO finds that such standards
preserve and enhance the public's right to use and access the public beach.
F) It is an objective to provide portable public restrooms, showers, drinking water fountains,
and other such amenities at parking facilities where the highest beach use occurs.
Mustang-Padre Island .4rea Development Plan
Draft November il, 2003
Page ~8
G) It is an objective to provide oversize parking stalls to accommodate oversize vehicles
wherever public parking areas are provided.
H) The City will not abandon, relinquish, or convey any right, title, easement, right-of-way,
street, path, or other interest that provides existing or potential beach access, unless an
alternative equivalent or be~ler beach access is provided.
I) The City will pursue the development of off-beach public parking as soon as possible in order
to enhance public beach access and to ensure public land ownership and access along the Gulf
beach. Improvement of the seawall parking lot is considered to be a high priority. The City
will develop sui~cient facilities to allow for prohibiting vehicle movement on the beach,
should it become necessary. Such provision is determined to serve park/recreation objectives
at the local and state levels.

G. PACKERY CHANNEL
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this section is to express the intent and policies of the City in regard to
PackeD. Channel and related issues. This will inc]ude the three phases of the PackeD.
Channel development project and the related Tax Increment Finance District.
Two important factors relating to Packery Channel are the protection or enhancement of
the environment and the potential for related economic development to the local
economy. The Packery Channel offers benefits in both of these areas. According the
Environmental Impact Statement prepared by the USACE, this conclusion is supported
by:
A Storm Damage Reduction and Environmental Restoration Project at North Padre
Island, Texas (Project) is authorized by Section 556 of the Water Resources
Development Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-53). The House of Representatives
Conference Report (H.R. 106-298) further identifies Congressional intent for this
authorization to be the proposed non-Federal sponsor's project at PackeD' Channel in
Nueces County, Texas. The non-Federal sponsor is the City of Corpus Christi. The
Project consists of construction of a channel between the Laguna Madre and the Gulf
of Mexico across North Padre Island, referred to as Packery Channel. The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District, has prepared an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) to address Project impacts. Dredging Packery Channel will provide
sand for nourishment of the eroding beach at Packery Channel that will result in
future storm damage reduction to Norlh Padre Island. The Project will also create a
water exchange pass between the Laguna Madre that will result in ecosystem
restoration. Three alternatives are examined and include PackeD. Channel, Fish Pass
(a channel north of PackeD. channel), and South Alternative (a channel south of
PackeD. Channel). The environmental benefits of all alternatives are small. Because
of larger environmental impacts from the Fish Pass and South Alternative, PackeD.
Channel was selected as the final alternative in the EIS.
· The selected Project consists of dredging a 12-foot deep by 122-foot wide channel
(280-foot span crest to crest of shoreline armoring) to connect the existing PackeD. Channel to
the Gulf of Mexico and dredging the existing channel to a depth of -7 feet (mean sea level)
and a width of 80 feet. The total length of the proposed channel from the Gulf end of the
jetties to the Gulf lntracoastal Waterway is approximately 18,500 feet. Approximately
967,500 cubic yards of material will be dredged during construction, most of which will be
placed on the beach south of the proposed jetties. Sandy maintenance material fi.om the
channel east of the SH 361 Bridge will be used for beach nourishment, and a sand bypass
system will be designed to move accumulated sand from longshore drift to the downdrifl side
of the jetties. Approximately 15,000 cubic yards of estimated maintenance dredging every 5
years will be placed in a confined upland site.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November 11, 2003
Page 30
A 1997 HSGA study projects that the project will positively impact, both directly and
indirectly, the local job market. The study finds that by 2018, the project will have produced
some 3,500 new jobs. The new employment will provide an additional $13.8 million in annual
wages to the area's economy.
a The HSGA study also projects that the new Packery Channel will result in an additional $42
million spent by visitors to the area by 2008. That figure increases to $89 million by 2023.
In terms of existing investment in infrastructure (roads, wastewater, water system, etc.) by the
City, the Packery Channel, relative to the other alternatives is in a far better location to make
efficient use of the existing infrastructure. Furthermore, the Packery Channel location will
encourage more compact future development, rather than providing a catalyst for growth to
the north or south in undeveloped areas.
POLICY STATEMENT G.1
The City will vigorously support and encourage the development and improvement of
Paekery Channel for the purpose of providing a recreational boat pass and enhanced water
exchange to the Laguna Madre from the Gulf of Mexico (See Figure 13). The project will
provide greatly improved recreational facilities, economic development potential on adjacent
public and private lands and will re-nourish adjacent Gulf Beaches. The Packery Channel
Project, when completed, will provide a world-class multipurpose development unique to the
Texas Coast with the potential to attract tourists f~om all over the state and nation. Thc project is
consistent with John F. Kennedy Causeway Recreation Area Master Plan Study adopted by the
Texas General Land Office in 1990.
POLICY STATEMENT G.2
State land, leased by the City, on either side of the Packery Channel must be developed in a
manner consistent with Dune Protection and Beach Access Regulations and in accordance
with the Texas General Land Office. A major goal for the City will be to provide a world-class
public recreational opportunity for the visiting public and citizens of Corpus Christi and to
achieve a combination of recreational and tourist-oriented economic development.
POLICY STATEMENT G.3
Private land located north and south of the Packery Channel must be developed with a mix
of high-density/intensity tourist oriented commercial and residential activities. Development
standards for these areas will be of a very high order requiring abundant landscaping, a consistent
urban design theme and public improvements that exceed standard requirements. Consideration
must be given to allowing outdoor repair and maintenance facilities for boats and other vessels as
such a use is warranted by development patterns and demand.
POLICY STATEMENT G.4
A navigable connection belween Packery Channel and Lake Padre is considered a priority.
Such a connection will facilitate the development of a future marina capable of accommodating
sailing and power vessels and will provide sufficient water access to Lake Padre residents and
business owners. Any future street or bridge crossings of this channel will not be allowed, as it
would hinder the ability of larger vessels to access Packery Channel.

H. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The purpose of this chapter is to outline the capital improvements needs as identified in
the Mustang-Padre Area Development Plan. Each project will be identified by type of
improvement (water, street, etc.) and a description of the project will be included. These
projects will be considered for possible inclusion in future capital budgets. For
reference, Appendix C includes the Areas short-term and long-range capital
improvement needs as identified or programmed in the "Fiscal Year 2003 Capital
Budget and Capital Improvement Planning Guide."
POLICY STATEMENT H.1
Following the adoption of the Area Development Plan, Staff will incorporate the
Plan capital improvements into the overall ciqnvide Capital Improvement
Program in keeping with the overall prioritization and funding available at the
time.
PLAN IDENTIFIED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT NEEDS H.2
PARK AND RECREATION
1) Seawall design objectives must include:
A) Construction ora public parking lot on city land adjacent to the seawall
B) Creation of a pedestrian promenade from the proposed public park lot at the
seawall to the beach
C) Public safety improvements along the length of the seawall need to be addressed
including, ADA compliance, public lighting, safety hand railing, shade, etc.
2) The City will place a high priority on creating a specific Beach Master Plan,
according to recommendation in the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan.
The Beach Master Plan will include the following elements regarding all Gulf
beaches and City park land adjacent to the Laguna Madre/Corpus Christi Bay:
· Facilities such as bathhouses, showers, portable toilets, etc.
· Access facilities - parking, dune walkovers, day use areas, etc.
· Boat ramps and/or portage areas
· Shade structures and pavilions
· Beach maintenance and operations facilities
· Other associated recreational facilities
3) Paekery Channel Improvements - Design objectives for recreational
improvements will include:
· Creation of infrastructure to support small to mid-sized special events, etc.
· Concessions
· Bath houses and restrooms on both sides of the channel
· Boat ramps
· Public fishing facilities
,, Adequate parking, including spaces for vehicles towing boat trailers

PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
The City will create a water exchange between the existing Padre Isle canal just north of
Cruiser St. and Lake Padre. Such an improvement would improve the water quality and
decrease stagnation in that section of the Padre Isles canals.
STREETS
1) The City will fund improvements to enhance pedestrian and bicycle amenities along
South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22. The aim is to make this thoroughfare safer for
alternative modes of transportation. Such improvements may include:
· Pcdes~an-fricndly intersections
· Sidewalks
· Bicycle lanes
a Wider shoulders
2) The public rights-of-way along South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 and State
Highway 361 will be landscaped to provide a more aesthetic environment. A design will
be developed and installed that beautifies these transportation corridors. The landscape theme
will be consistent with the area environment and include plantings such as palms and
oleanders. These improvements would, ideally, be undertaken by thc Slate, perhaps with City
participation. Designs will be developed depending on availability of material, etc. such
as:
· Continuous row of oleanders in thc median
Dwarf oleanders and grass in parkway areas
· Intersection landscaping on South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 at the intersections of:
Slate Highway 361, Whitecap, and Encantada.
· The intersection landscaping must adhere to requirements of the City's driveway ordinance
and be designed so that sight h-iangle distances will not be blocked.
3) In order to take advantage of elevation improvements to the J-FK Causeway and to
accommodate emergency access off the Islands, the City will, where feasible, elevate
existing major intersections (arterial to arterial, arterial to collector, collector to
collector) to an elevation equal to the lowest elevation of the improved JFK Causeway.
Major intersections with an elevation lower than that of the improved J-FK Causeway should
be considered in the Capital Improvements Program for improvement.
4) The City will make safety improvements to the intersection of Encantada and South
Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22. The current configuration is confusing and creates an
unsafe point of conflict, particularly for motorist a~tempting to enter northbound South Padre
Island Drive/Park Road 22 from Encanlada Avenue.
STORMWATER
The City will commission a study to determine the environmental impacts that future
channelization will have on the lsland environment, flora and fauna, and water table.
Charmelization often occurs with residential and marina developments and as a storm drainage
feature. Channels, however, introduce brackish water inland, which may have negative
environmental consequences and could possibly conflict with the City's plans for a desalination
plant. The study will determine the extent of impact future channels could have on the overall
environment and recommend to what extent such channels should be allowed or disallowed.

WASTEWATER
Prior to annexation by the City, properties along South Padre Island Drive and along Palmira
Street were platted with only access Io water or waslewater service but not both services. The
City will, wherever possible, facilitate provision of water and wastewater service to these platted
properties. A possible alternative to the existing situation is to create a Public Improvement
District. Such a district would allow the City to finance needed improvements, then assess
the costs of the completed improvements among the property owners within the district.
MUSTANG ISLAND
1) The City will pursue funding for purchase of beach access rights-of-way, construction of
beach parking and acquisition of park property along the bay side of Mustang Island.
2) The City will coordinate efforts with the State and private property owners to obtain
park property and improvements adjacent to Wilson's Cut.

APPENDIX A - MUSTANG PADRE ISLAND AREA
DEVELOPMENT PLAN ISSUES
Environment
Dune Protection - Dune protection rules are the primary regulatory vehicle to preserve the sea
wall effect/hurricane protection of the barrier island foredune ridge. New developments within
1,000 feet of mean high tide are required to obtain a dune protection permit. Corpus Christi is the
only city on the Texas Gulf coast, which has not been granted dune protection authority by its
respective county. Within Nueces County, the City of Port Aransas has had dune protection
authority for almost ten years. This arrangement arbitrarily gives the City of Port A.ransas a
competitive advantage over development of Island properties in the City of Corpus Christi.
· Dune Permitting: The current process of obtaining approval of a development requires that
the County and the City approve a plan. The submission, presentation and fees are redundant.
Often the goals and recommendations &one body are in conflict with the other. This creates a
significant impediment to the developer, as he or she will have to meet the development
requirements of two goverumental entities rather than just one. A single approval authority
for dune permitting, beachfront construction certificate and platting is strongly recommended.
Flood Hazard Areas - Much of Mustang and Padre Island are located in FEMA Flood Hazard
Areas. New development through the City permit process must comply with FEMA
requirements. With annexation, all new development on the Island must obtain a building permit
before construction. The building permit process as presently administered requires compliance
with FEMA Flood Hazard rules.
Wetlands - Mustang and Padre Islands contain extensive jurisdictional wetlands areas. As a
Phase 1 city (large and medium sized cities over 100,000 population) the Environmental
Protection Agency has placed stringent requirements on the Cily for protection &wetlands areas.
City requirements in the City Code of Ordinances, including the Platting Ordinance, require a
preliminary determination of wetlands before issuance of a construction permit.
· Identify what development incentives could be provided to create a "buffer area" surrounding
wetlands.
· For informational purposes, place wetlands, dunes and FEMA boundaries on a map in the
plan to illustrate areas of environmental concern.
· Should the City protect non-jurisdiction wetlands?
Coastal Barrier Resources Act (COBRA) - The City has promised to pursue removal of the
Coastal Barrier Resource Act designation on Island properties annexed in 1999 thru 2002. How
can the City best pursue this objective?
Mustang-Padre Island ~4rea Development Plan
Draft November 18, 2003
Page 35
Should the City develop policies designed to acquire or preserve wildlife habitat and open
spaces?
· Should the City consider establishing conservation zones?
· Should thc City pursue acquisition of remaining Oak Mott tracts as a birding area?
· Should the City establish special open space or green space zoning for those unique nalural
areas where no development of any kind is contemplated, i.e. dunes, beach, wetlands? For
example a Conservation/Preservation Zoning District is a possibility.
Existing and Future Land Use
High density residential and tourist oriented developmem of the highest possible character has
been the vision for the Gulf beach areas. The Laguna Madre side of the Island is usually
considered for high quality lower density residential development.
As density increases, should requirements to provide higher quality and more amenities per
dwelling unit increase?
Should public and private development along Park Road 22 and State Highway 361 be subject to
higher standards of development than typical developments?
Should areas west of Park Road 22 and State Highway 361 be recommended for a combination of
medium and low-density residential development?
Should the City encourage nodal high-density commercial development as apposed to allowing
strip commercial development along Park Road 22 and State Highway 361.9
Should the city provide incentives for protection of environmentally sensitive areas on the
Islands? Two areas that have been suggested are Packery Channel Dunes along Playa del Carmen
and to the south and west along Playa del Carmen. What areas would warrant protection? What
incentives could be offered, i.e. parking reductions, greater density of development, etc.?
Urban Design Guidelines and Zoning
Urban design is a term used to define how a community manages the physical and visual
character of its built environment. Urban design has become an increasingly dominant issue on
Mustang and Padre Islands in response the City's desire to promote Island growth, development
and the City's number one tourist attraction. The design quality &the built environment can have
a profound effect on the economic and social health of a city. The quality of the built
environment on the islands affects the Corpus Christi image and attractiveness to developers
searching for high quality business and residential locations. By contrast, a poorly designed urban
environment can be a detriment to investment and economic development. A high quality visual
environment is a fundamental requirement to attract long-term, high-quality investment. The issue
of urban design must be addressed if Corpus Christi is to achieve the quality of development that
most citizens desire.

Page 36
· Where should Urban Design guidelines be considered?
Entryways to the Island and Gulf beaches.
Along Park Road 22 and State Highway 361.
Increasing the visual quality of the development along the IFK Causeway Area as outlined
in the Village Master Plan.
· What development issues should be considered for inclusion in urban design requirements for
the Islands?
Higher density mixed-use development
Mixed-use compatibility
Pedestrian amenities
Greater signage control
Increased landscaping for private and public development
Architectural Controls
Beach access and parking
View corridors
· Should the City consider an Overlay Zoning District for all of Mustang and Padre Islands to
further urban design objectives?
Neo-lxaditional development is characterized by medium to high density, mixed use, pedestrian
friendly design and amenities, small front yard setbacks, storefronts, narrower streets and urban
design guidelines. Should the City promote "neo-traditional" development on the Island or
otherwise allow a higher degree of design flexibility?
Signa~e - Existing agreements provide for limits on signs on the east side of SH 361. Should
efforts be taken to limit billboards?
Should the review of zoning and rezoning requests include the evaluation of whether the existing
infrastructure can effectively handle the additional intensity of land usage?
Storm Drainage
What best management practices for storm drainage should be pursued on the Island? Can storm
drainage improvements be intergraded with wetlands? If so how, can inlegration be
accomplished?
Should the City explore surface drainage options in lieu of requiring curb, gutter, and
underground drainage systems, due to the drainage characteristics of the Island?
Should the City develop a drainage Master Plan specifically for the Island?

Utilities
Water - What is the future water main plan for the Island?
Wastewater - What is the future wastewater plan for the Island?
"B" Lots of Blocks 20 and 21~ Padre Island Unit I - Some of the lots along Park Rd. 22 do not
have adequate access to infrastructure (roads, utilities). How can the City facilitate full access to
the required infrastructure?
There are three parallel power lines on the Island. Should efforts be taken to reduce/consolidate
overhead lines?
The City currently requires streetlights on all projects. How can the City reduce "light pollution"
on the Island while maintaining adequate lighting for public safety?
Transportation
Local access to SH 361 - Should various traffic management techniques be explored to make this
transportation spine safer?
Alternatives discussed included:
· Increased enforcement of the speed limit
· Decreasing the speed limit
· Minimizing the number of driveways accessing onto the highway through the use of local
paralleling collector streets
· Increasing the minimum spacing requirements of driveways
· Conslructing paralleling "marginal access" roadways where possible.
The location and cross-section of SH 361 could be reviewed. The current development on the east
side of SH 361 will make a parallel road difficult on the east side of SH 361. The unique
topography and natural resources on the west side will also make a parallel roadway on the west
equally difficult to plan. Should a cross-section with marginal access roads be considered?
Park Road 22 and State Highway 361 - Since a grid system of arterials is not available, should
the City, wherever practical, create a parallel collector system to State Highway 3617
Beach Access
· Access points and parking lots should be developed in a manner so as to protect the
environment in the sensitive dune, beach, and wetland areas. How can the City provide
sufficient beach access and parking to the Gulf beach while being sensitive to environmental
concerns?
· Should the City update the Beach Access Plan and incorporate it into the Mustang Padre
Island Area Development Plan?
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November 11, 2005
Page 38
The development community has expressed concerns about the impact of the City's Beach Access
Plan upon development. Currently 80 to 100 feet of reservation or dedication is required by the
City of Corpus Christi for future beach access points at ½ mile intervals between SH 361 and the
beach. Should the City consider the use of grants and/or bond programs to purchase the five
remaining beach access points required by the Urban Transportation Plan?
Bicycle Trails - The group suggested adding a bicycle trail into the Plan. There was general
consensus in the stakeholders group that there would be serious safety concerns if the trail were
located on SH 361 due to the high traffic volumes and speeds. Would the City benefit from
pursuing the addition of bicycle lanes on the Island, particularly along SH 361 and Park Rd. 22, or
even bicycle trails to major points of interest?
Street Design - The unique nature of the Island lends itself to non-standard street sections.
· Should cul-de-sac lengths and shapes, construction material and width be reviewed to allow
flexibility in design?
· Should the method of determining when a street is a collector and/or the size of collectors be
reviewed?
Packery Channel
Recreational amenities - What recreational amenities should the City pursue as part of the
Packery Channel Project? Possible amenities might include: boat ramps, bathhouses, parking,
pavilion, observation platforms, concessions/sublease areas (restaurant, tackle shop, rentals),
channel fishing areas, etc.
Beach Festivals location - Once Packery Channel is under construction (July 2003) the former
J.P. Luby Park will no longer be available to accommodate large beach festival events. Where is
the best place to relocate the large festivals like Beach to Bay, Sea Sculptures, Music Concerts,
etc.? What facilities are needed to best facilitate these events?
Beach Renourishment - The Packery Channel Project includes a sand slorage and beach
renourlshmenI program for the eroding beach in front of the sea wall. Should the plan have a
supporting policy indicating the beneficial storage and renourishment aspects of the Packery
Channel Project?
Because of possible erosion problems, enforcement of no-wake in Packery Channel is very
important. How should the City step up enforcement measures?
Public Facilities
Maintenance of Sea Wall and Padre Isles Canals and Bulk Headin? - These facilities are
privately owned and the City's policy has been, and is, that the property owners will continue to
maintain them.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November 18, 2003
Page 39
Public Facilities - Should the City initiate an Island Public Facilities Survey to determine where,
and in what quantity public facilities such as roads, public parking, public showers, portable
restrooms, etc. exist and are needed in the future?
Should the City develop a Beach Master Plan to address the issue of beach facilities and services?
Beaches
Should portions of the Gulf beach be designated for non-vehicular pedestrian traffic next to the
water while maintaining a vehicular route next to the dunes? If so what areas are most
appropriate?
What beach improvements are needed for the long-term public use of the beach - public showers,
beach access roads, off-beach parking, water and wastewater for public bathrooms, etc.?
High-rise development vs. Low-rise development on Mustang Island between dunes and SH
361 - Provided all dune and beach access requirements are met, should the city promote and
encourage high intensity development on the properties that front onto the Gulf beaches or should
the city continue to allow either ]ow or high density development7
Parks
Park Dedication - Should private land containing an Open Beaches easement (vegetation line to
mean low tide) and or critical dune areas be subtracted from private land subject to the 5% park
dedication requirement during the Platting Process? Should the City accept private land subject
to the Open Beaches easement and or critical dune areas for parkland? The Platting Ordinance
includes these areas in the calculation of park dedication requirements.
Public Safety
Hurricane Evacuation - Should the City monitor development as to its impact upon evacuation
times and make th.is a criterion to evaluate development?
Development of a Post-Disaster Recovery Plan - This plan would distinguish between
immediate repair and cleanup actions needed to protect public health and safety and long-term
repair and redevelopment activities. Should the City develop such a plan?
Intracoastal Bridge - Due to the slope of the grade and lack of adequate width, what actions
should the City undertake to expedite the replacement of the bridge?

APPENDIX C - CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT NEEDS
SHORT-TERM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT NEEDS
PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
1) Mustang Island Fire Substation: This project will provide for a 24-hour manned modular
substation on Mustang Island to enhance and support fire protection on Mustang and Padre
Islands. This Fire Station will provide service to Mustang Island and back-up service to
Station #15 on Padre Island. Ambulance Service will be provided out of Station #15, however,
the substation will be a First Responder and will be equipped with the necessary medical
equipment and medication carried on an ambulance so medical treatment is not delayed. Land
has been acquired and a contract for design issued. At the time of this writing, construction is
underway.
2) North Padre Island Storm Damage Reduction and Environmental Restoration (Packery
Channel): This project is designed to reduce storm damage and provide environmental
restoration along North Padre Island. North Padre Island is subject to severe storm damage,
erosion and scouting. Lack of an opening limits water exchange and tidal flows between the
Gulf of Mexico and the Lagtma Madre/Corpus Christi Bay complex. This project will include
jellies, jetty walkways, shoreline stabilization, bridge protection, dredging and recreation
components. At the time of this writing, ground has been broken and construction contracts
have been awarded.
3) JFK Causeway Improvements: The JFK Causeway is the only non-ferry evacuation route
for the more than 10,000 full-time residents of Padre and Mustang Islands. The Causeway is
prone to flooding during periods of mild tropical storm activity. The purpose of this highway
protection project is to provide a safe and efficient island evacuation route during periods of
high tides and tropical storm activity. The raising of the causeway by four to five feet will
provide a more reliable evacuation route for island residents during the recurring period of
tropical weather events. Construction was initiated in early Spring, 2002.
WASTEWATER
1) Kennedy Causeway Lift Station: Growth in the area has increased demand for sewer service
far exceeding the minimal syslem initially installed. This project will replace the existing lift
station with new pumps, controls and force main, as required, to comply with state and federal
regn]atory requirements. The anticipated completion date for this project is April 2004.
2) Packery Channel Utility Crossing Casing: This project will result in the installation of a
structural casing under the channel to be dredged, for future wastewater service main line
installation. The anticipated completion date is to be decided.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November 11, 2005
Page 42
WATER
1) Southside Water Transmission Main~ Phase 7: The last leg of transmission main
improvements will end with the extension ora 30" main. Construction of the new main
(approximately 11,200 feet) includes following a north route just south of Whitecap Blvd.,
then turns eastward into the City's property at the Whitecap Wastewater Treatment plant and
continues in the Whitecap Blvd. righl-of-way until it reaches the existing distribution system
al Whitecap Blvd. and Park Rd. 22 intersection. A routing sludy was completed for this
section of the project as part of the design contract for Segment A (Phases2, 2a &3). This
project is pending the results of the desalination study.
2) Padre Island Pump Plant Improvements: Long-term improvements to the Padre Island
Pumping Plant include the extension of the Southside Transmission Main and the possibility
ora desalination facility at some time in the future. Interim improvements are required to
maintain adequate pressures and meet regulatory requirements. A new pump is necessary to
provide an adequate petable water delivery system to Island residents, pending either the
completion of the Southside Transmission Main to the Island or the construction ora
desalination facility. Anticipated completion date for this project is in January 2004.
WATER SUPPLY
1) Padre Island Desalination Facility: In an effort to secure alternative sources of water, the
City is considering a desalination facility to be located on Padre Island. The proposed facility
would be able to produce three to five million gallons per day of drinking water utilizing
brackish groundwater supplemented by seawater. Current funding will provide for a
feasibility study and siting analysis for a facility to be located at either North Padre or
Mustang Island. At the time of this writing, the feasibility study is underway.
LONG-RANGE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT NEEDS
STREETS
1) Aquarius Street Extension - Das Marinas to Commodores Drive: This project involves
the construction ora new street connection between Das Marinas and Conunodores.
Presently, ordy a caliche roadway, Aquarius would be constructed as a functional collector
roadway with one travel lane per direction and curbside parking lanes, including curb/gutter,
sidewalks, underground utilities, lighting and associated ADA improvements.
WASTEWATER
1) Padre Island Area Lift Station and Force Main Improvements: Lift station and/or force
main improvements will be completed to accommodate actual development patterns in the
Padre Island area. These include modifying/upgrading the Coquina Bay, Se Pines, and Gypsy
lift stations as well as replacing force mains that extend between the Sea Pines and Gypsy ]iff
stations and from the Gypsy lift station to the Whitecap Boulevard tnmk gravity system.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft November 18, 2003
Page 43
2) Whitecap Wastewater Treatment Plant Bulkhead Replacement: The existing plant is built
on dredged fill behind a sheet pile bulkhead. This steel bulkhead is in need of structural
modifications and improvements. Portions of the bulkhead have collapsed, requiring interim
repairs. This project addresses the long-term solution to the structural stability of the
bulkhead.
WATER
1) Southside Transmission Main Phases 6 & 7: This project includes construction of the final
sections o£the Southside Water Transmission Main. This project will begin at Laguna Shores
Drive (end of Phase 5) and extend a 30-inch main across the Laguna Madre to Padre Island
and the intersection of Whitecap Boulevard and Park Road 22. A routing study has been
completed for this section o£the project and preliminary cost estimates have been compiled.
WATER SUPPLY
1) Padre Island Desalination FaciliW: In an effort to secure alternative sources of water, the
Cily is considering a desalination facility to be located on Padre Island. The proposed facility
would be able to produce three to five million gallons per day of drinking water utilizing
brackish groundwater supplemented by seawater. Current funding will provide for a
feasibility study and siting analysis for a facility to be located at either North Padre or
Mustang Island.

STREETS POSITION PAPER FOR COUNCIL PRESENTATION
NOVEMBER 18TM, 2003
CURRENT ISSUES:
Council requested an update of services and options regarding the Streets division and their
current process for handling day to day operations as well as reports of damaged streets by area
residents.
STREETS RESPONSIBILITIES:
There are three areas of operations in the street division. They arc Traffic Signals, Signs,
Markings & Striping, and Maintenance of Streets.
TRAFFIC SIGNALS
The Streets Division is responsible for maintaining 242 signalized intersections: 136 are steel
mast arms, 70 are span wire, and 36 are pedestal mounted. 120 intersections are equipped with a
total of 429 video detection cameras. 143 intersections are equipped with 1200 pedestrian signals
(PED's). We also maintain 169 school warning flashers and 43 flashing warning beacons.
Maintenance of these signals is performed with a staff of 12 employees (8 signal technicians, a
signals coordinator, a fiber epfie technician, an engineer's assistant, and a signals superintendent)
with overall responsibilities of fielding trouble calls, intersection upgrades and repairs,
preventative maintenance on the signal cabinets, cameras, and other intersection eompunents, and
signal coordination and optimization. The fiber optic technician also maintains several miles of
optical fiber that interconnects several traffic signal systems.
Traffic signal coordination on major thoroughfares continues to be priority. Approximately 35%
(83) of the 242 signalized intersections are coordinated in 18 comdors as listed on Attachment 1.
We are working with TxDot to incorporate several SPID signals into coordination with the City's
system to help improve traffic congestion at these busy intersections. SPlD/Airline,
SPID/Staples, and SP1D/Everhart, have already been coordinated and we are presently working
on SPID/Weber intersection. Theses coordination studies are very complex and take several
months to complete and implement, and even after implementation the intersections have to be
continuously monitored and adjusted for optimal performance. Presently the department (and
City) has one person capable of performing these studies and his time is split among other work
duties, including keeping all intersections timings optimized.
Thc current FY budget for Traffic SiLLmals is $1,516,846 and provides for the maintenance,
replacement, and repair of the existing traffic signal components, and approximately $30k is
provided for expansion of coordination signal systems through fiber optic installation. It is our
goal and vision to have every major thoroughfare coordinated and the majority of signalized
intersections in communication to a Traffic Control Center (TOC) whereby traffic would be
monitored and adjustments (timings, etc.) made from one central point. However, it is our
opimon that this can only be done with continued Council support for CIP funding for new
intersections, intersection upgrades (fi.om span wire to hurricane proof mast arm), coordination
projects, and TOC initiatives.
SIGNS, MARKINGS, & STRl~ING:
The Streets Division maintaing approximately 100,000 traffic signs, 400 miles of street striping,
507 school crosswalks, 514 pedestrian crosswalks, and curb painting throughout the City.
Additionally, this operation provides implementation of Traffic Control Plans for special events,
such as Beach to Bay, 4t~ of July events/fireworks, Bayfest, Buccaneer's Parade/events, and other
similar events. On call personnel is provided 24/7/365 for emergency calls to replaee/repair
regulatory traffic signs.
The Signs operation is maintained by 6 employees (a sign shop foreman, a sign fabricator, and 4
sign technicians) who are responsible for all traffic sign (regulatory and warning), street name
signs, school zone signs, and various specialty signs for the conunumty. In FY 02-03 this
operation manufactured approx. 4800 signs, and installed/repairexFreplaced over 10,500 other
signs. This operation is very efficient and responsive, and with thc acquisition of two new sign
trucks scheduled to be delivered early next year, we will have even more reliable service. There
is one thing that needs to be considered as part of the CIP, that is that the current sign shop
building has been condemned now for several years and is in need of replacement.
The Markings operation is maintained by a crew of 3 employees (2 equipment operators and a
signs and markings technician). Their responsibilities include maintenance of school and
pedestrian crosswalks, lane designation markings, parking lot striping, curb marking/painting, and
speed hump markings. These enormous responsibilities are hard to maintain at an aeceptable
level with as small a crew designated for this operation. Such is the case, this small crew focuses
on crosswalk maintenance, primarily school crosswalks with other responsibilities provided as
time permits or for safety issues. Current crosswalk conditions are listed below:
School Crosswalks Pedestrian Crosswalks
Overall Condition 343 Good - 68% 278 Good - 54%
100 Fair- 20% 65 Fair - 13%
64 Poor - 13 % 171 Poor - 33%
Paint 190 Good :54% 153 Good - 43%
98 Fair - 28% 49 Fair- 14%
64 Poor - 18% 152 Poor - 43%
Thermoplastic 153 Good- 96% 125 Good- 78%
2 Fair - 1% 16 Fair- 10%
4 Poor - 3% 19 Poor - 12%
One of the major hindrances in trying to improve on these conditions is also the fact that we are
using paint which is only good for up to a year and in some cases, depending on Waffle
conditions, only 6 months. The thermoplastic crosswalks are overall in better condition because
it lasts up to 10 times longer than paint. Thermoplastic's initial cost is 2 to 3 times that of paint,
however it pays for itself within a two year period. Our current budget provides for approx. $23K
overall for thermoplastic tape for crosswalks and speed humps addressing only a small fraction of
the overall need. Any opportunity needs to be pursued to increase the funding for thermoplastic
and/or increasing crews.
The Striping operation is malxaalned by a crew of 3 employees (2 equipment operators, and a
signs and markings technician) and are responsible for all city roadway striping (approx. 400
miles). Due to ongoing operational and maintenance problems with the one (1) striping truck this
crew was able to complete only 54% of the striping goals in FY 02-03. Last FY this track had a
major overhaul. We continue to have maintenance problems with this 13 year old truck however,
the current FY (1~ Qtr) we have completed 22% of our goal and barring any further major
2
problems we expect to meet or exceed thc goal. As this vehicle ages and continues to have
n~mtenance problems wc will have to consider replacement and/or contracting this operation.
The current budget for Signs, Markings & Striping is $861,001. Aside fi'om issues discussed, the
only other issue is the available FTE's for the Markings and Striping. With crew size of 3 FTE's
each, normal employee absenteeism disrupts any plans for the day. An additional 2 FTE's would
add flexibility and provide a more stable work environment.
MAINTENANCE OF STREETS
The Streets division maintains approximately 1108 miles of city streets, 33 miles of service
drives, and 143 park'mg lots. Additionally, this division repairs ail utility cuts done by city forces
and performs construction and/or repair work for other city departments on a reimbursement basis
(Reimbursements for FY024)3 were - $474,954 Utility cuts, $606,139 Street Recovery Charge,
and $219,093 other work). The current budget for Maintenance of Streets is $6,104,188.
The responsibility of the Street Maintenance division lies in the following areas: Preventive
Maintenance, Reactive Maintenance, Utility Cuts, and Recycle/Reclamation (in4icu of
Recenstruetion). This work is accomplished with 89 employees.
29 are assigned to seal coat work- 1 crew
20 are assigned to level-up - 3 crews,
3 are assxgned to potholes- I crew
15 are assigned to base failures- 2 crews,
6 are assigned to utility cuts - 1 crew
15 are asm ned to rework - 4 crews
Preventative Maintenance - which is basically techniques used for preservation of the structural
integrity of the pavement cross-section. The basic theory behind pavement preservation is to
apply relatively inexpensive PM to pavements at regular intervals to avoid much more expensive
repairs later (much like you do PM's on cars to keep them running reliably). These include:
Seal Coating - leveling uneven areas, applying aa asphalt emulsion and coveting with
aggregate rock providing for weather tight seal and a wear surface. This
is exemplified by response to a CCAR where on Santa Fe street we are
sealing the surface after a leveling up procedure.
Overlaying - apply a minimum of 1.5 inches of asphalt to the street's surfa*~ after
repairing distressed areas.
Reactive Maintenance - which is the repair of failed or distressed pavement sections(s). These
include:
Pothole repairs - repair of localized failed areas in pavement
Base Failure Repair - repair off'ailed areas in pavement
Level-up - leveling of pavement depressions and settlements - This is exemplified by
Councilman Scott's concern on Weber Road where the utility cut repair
required cutting down the uneven surface and then leveling up for
continuity. This is aiso exemplified by work we did on Angela Street in
response to a CCAR where we leveled up the street.
Utility cut re~airs - repair of cuts in pavement done to repair underground utilities
Recycle/reclamation - repair of large sections of street where the base material and surface layer
am pulverized, re-compacted and a surface layer such as a double layer of
seal coat is applied. This is exemplified by a response to a CCAR on
Brawner Parkway between Ramsey and Kostoryz.
Reconstruction - repair of large sections of street where the suttee layer and base materials are
removed (and sometimes portions of the subgrade also are remove), the
subgrade is stabilized and compacted, new base material and surface layer
(typically hot mix asphalt) is installed.
We are spending more and more of our time on reactive maintenance due to the inability to
properly fund our preventive maintenance needs furthermore, numerous drainage issues citywide
only compound the problem as standing water on the street and along the curb & guttem seep into
the base causing it to deteriorate. Surprising to many people, Street Services is not responsible
for curb & gutters maintenance, it is the Storm Water Department responsibility. Many of the
public's concerns pemeived as street problems can be attributed to poor drainage and/or
sunken/sex'tied curb & gutters. It is therefore very important that as street repair work is
performed, any street drainage issues need to be corrected otherwise the repair work will not last.
This effort needs to be coordinated (between Departments) and priorities and funding realigned to
achieve the desired result.
Day to day complaints or request for service are handled through the administrative office and
documented in a complaint tracking program. Every complaint/request for service is work
ordered and given to an inspector which in turn physically inspects the problem area and makes a
determination as to the type of work needed to repair the problem. This is done in order to
effectively plan and deploy the right work crews for the job (an average citizen does not know the
differonee between a pothole or a base faihim or the start of a cave-in). Citizen complaints are
treated with priority and we strive to meet our response time goals as listed in Attachment 2.
Internally identified work is prioritized based on severity and/or location proximity to other
complaints. Weather also plays a big factor in our overall day to day operations and as you know
extended periods of wet weather bring out the worst in the streets. Many more pothole and base
failures occur during these wet periods than any other time, and because normal operations are
suspended during this time most of the crews arc assigned to pothole duty. After the last wet
period, every crew was assigned to pothole duty for a period of about a week after we started to
dry out in order to adequately respond to the many pothole complaints received.
For longer term planning, the Streets division utilizes a computer software program called Micro-
PAVER (PAVER for short) as part of our pavement management tools to help develop work
strategies and plans on a network level, and assess the over all condition of the street network.
The PAVER program was developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, it is distributed and
technically supported by APWA and is a widely use program throughout the country. Street
Services has used this program for over 15 years.
Thc City's street inventory network is set up in PAVER defining pavement sections for every
street. As a statistical program, pavement sample sections are defined through PAVER on a
random basis. The depastment street inventory inspectors, then go through and inspect the
sample sections for the various defined pavement distt'esses. PAVER defines 19 distresses and 3
severity levels, which are documented for each sample section. The inspection information is
then entered into PAVER for analysis. PAVER provides a quantitative street condition
assessments based on inspection results on a scale between 0-100 which we call PCI or pavement
condition index. The higher the PCI number, the better condition of the street. Based on the PCI
4
a work strategy for that pavement section is developed. S~xeet Services has used the following to
use as strategy:
PAVER PCI
0 to 55 - Recycle
56 tO 85 - Level-up and Seal
80 to 82 - Overlay (Arterials Only)
86 to 100 - Seal every 5 - 7 yrs
Based on this strategy the overall condition of the street network is determined. Using this
process the street conditions are continuously being updated through inspections and maintenance
work being performed. Although this is a continuous process, it should be realized that
inspecting the entire street network takes approximately two years to complete and while the data
is as accurate as possible some pavement seetioas have not been inspected for two years.
The City's street network is approximately 18,626,000 square yards. The following two charts
illustrate the work assessment needs over the past five years and a current needs assessment
(provided during the budget process) vs. funded levels.

· Needs · Capabilities
As shown in the in the f'wst cha~, over the past five years, the Seal Coat requirement have
increased by 39%, Reworks have increased by 410%, and Overlays have decreased by 32% (due
to 2000 Bond Projects). These increasing trends have come about as a result of under funding the
overall maintenance needs as shown in the second chart thus the accumulation of unmet needs.
Current budget funding addresses only 28% of the Seal Coat, 9% of the Reconstruction work, and
none of the Overlay needs, as shown in the second chart. Our work crews cannot address the
needs of the community.
The really alarming trend is that of Reconstruction work which just in the past year has basically
doubled and if you project the curve out it will double again next year. This indicat~ed that there
are many streets in the borderline category ready to cross over, and in fact we have identified
approximately 1,794,000 square yards that are between a PCI of 56 to 65 which we believe are
those borderline cases.
Based on the aforementioned unmet needs, we estimate our current unfunded need at
approximately $7.6 million for seal corns, $8.3 million for overlays and $95.1 million for
reconstruction of City streets, and ff you want to consider the borderline streets include an
additional $89.7 million. We have already started to work with the Engineering Depamnent to
begin addressing these unmet needs though the CIP. We have submitted a list of approximately
1100 streets (approx. 245 miles) identified for Reconstruction consideration in the program.
Reliable equipment is also an important consideration in l~mnin~ a~l efficient operation. Street
Scrvices fleet has an average age of 10.6 years, some of thc vehicles have outlived theft useful
life and arc in need of replacement. No Street Services vchicles were funded for replaccmcnt in
thc current FY. Meeting Citizen's and Council's service expectation is aa important part of our
goals however, it is made that much harder with unreliable, unavailable equipment.
CONCLUSION:
Our City street infrastructure is deteriorating at a much more notable rate and is far exceeding the
funding level and capabilities of Street Services. There are several recommendations in order to
more aggressively address our deteriorating streets:
· Utilization of existing City bond programs to maximize area projects and associated streets,
· Continue use of matching funds or areas with the State to effectively coordinate funds already
being spend in the City,
· Work closer with the utility departments to coordinate ongoing engineering projects and
streets affected by the project,
· Request additional funding through the supplemental funding request (SFR's) each fiscal year
during the budget process and steady increase the operating budget.
· Aggressively pursue new equipment, materials, and programs that add to overall life of our
streets.
· Other considerations:
Review current platting ordinance will be reviewed to enhance the imtial stages of
development prior to the City taking responsibility for subdivision fxom developers. In many
cases minimum street standards for new development need review, prim~arily because the
majority of the street life is consumed during the building construction phase of the
development and the City takes over maintenance of a fatigued meet.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Computerized Maintenance Maintenance Management System
SUMMARY: The City began implementation of a work management system during
FY2001-2002. The system has been partially implemented by the Aviation, Utility
Billing, Storm Water, Wastewater and Water Departments. The partially implemented
system has been immensely beneficial to the departments using the system. They
consider full implementation essential for continuing to improve and increase efficiency
and service.
Full implementation is necessary to maximize savings possible through the re-
engineering process. The contract for FY2003-2004 further expands the system in Gas,
Storm Water, Wastewater and Water. The FY2003-2004 contract will also initiate
implementation for the Facility Management, Parks and Recreation, and Solid Waste
Departments. The contract and system does not require continued implementation, and
the City may decide to limit future implementation or terminate the contract.
BACKGROUND: In December 2000, the City Council directed the Wastewater and
Water Departments to continue re-engineering efforts. Work continued in two major
areas to increase efficiency:
1. workforce development; and
2. facility automation.
The third area necessary is the development of a work management system. Such
systems are commonly used in the private sector to better manage work and to achieve
reductions in operating costs. The core component of modem work management
systems are computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), which resulted
in the subsequent approval of the original contract on October 30, 2001.
CONTRACT SUMMARY: The contract is divided into four years with each year
requiring separate City authorization. The proposed contract for FY2003-2004 will
result in improvements for Gas, Facilities Management, Park and Recreation, Solid
Waste Services, Storm Water, Wastewater and Water Departments. Specifically, the
expansion will allow the City:
· CMMS work managment for Solid Waste Collection;
provide additional training and process analysis and refinement;
SCADA Integration and Field Unit Pilot for Gas, Storm Water, Water, and
Wastewater;
· development of business unit team for Park and Recreation CMMS; and
· customer call centers procedures and start up.

CONTRACT SUMMARY
SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED
Provide the City with work management training and an operable computerized maintenance management
system functioning as a Citywide work management program upon full implementation of the system. The
scope provides for the services to be performed through a series of modules that introduce general work
management concepts, establish standards for the City's program, and provide department-specific training
and system configuration. The scope will include data collection support, practices modeling, skills inventory,
software configuration, system testing, training, and implementation. The Consultant will provide and deliver
to the City work management hardware and software necessary for the project. The software configuration
will be integrated with City software systems including, but not limited to, PeopleSoft, HTE, geographic
information system, and utility supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software.
WORK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - SECTION I - Utilities and Public Works
The first part of this program introduces the work management program to the city's utilities and then expands
the program to the Solid Waste and Street Department. The City Program Coordinator will provide
CONSULTANT with written notices to proceed for all remaining phases authorized in Section 1 (Phases 7b,
8a, 10, 12a, and 13). The order of services for each phase may be re-arranged if the City is not ready to
proceed with a particular phase or directs a particular task be expedited. If a portion of a phase is expedited,
the City Coordinator and CONSULTANT will agree on the percentage of the total phase cost attributable to the
subject task, and this percentage will be document(~d in the notice to proceed.
WORK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - SECTION 2 - CITYWIDE EXTENSION
After completing the implementation for Utilities and Public Works, the City will determine whether it wishes to
extend the program to the remaining City departments. If the City proceeds with the Section 2 Citywide
Extension, the City Program Coordinator will continue to administer the general communications plan and will
work with the remaining City departments to identify Department Project Leaders. The City Program
Coordinator will administer the Section 2 phases in the same manner as the Section 1 phases. The City
Program Coordinator will provide CONSULTANT with written notices to proceed for phases authorized in
Section 2 (Phases 12b, 12c, and 18a). The order of services for each phase may be re-arranged if the City is
not readyto proceed with a particular phase or directs a particular task be expedited. Ifa portion ora phase is
expedited, the City Coordinator and CONSULTANT will agree on the percentage of the total phase cost
attributable to the subject task, and this percentage will be documented in the notice to proceed.
FEE FOR SERVICES AUTHORIZED
The City will pay the Consultant a fixed fee not to exceed $1,090,000.00 for the following Phases:
· Phase 7b: Solid Waste Collection (Except for Task 7.4 Skills Inventory, which was completed
under Project 8380 in FY 2001-02)
· Phase 8a: Process Analysis and Reinforcement of New Practices
· Phase 10: SCADA Integration and Field Unit Pilot
· Phase 12a: Process Analysis and Reinforcement of New Practices
· Phase 12b: Facilities Maintenance
· Phase 12c: Park and Recreation
· Phase 13: Streets (Except for Task 13.4 Skills Inventory, which was completed under Project
8380 in FY 2001-02)
· Phase 18a: Call Center Procedures and Start-up,
and such other phases and tasks as may be mutually agreed by City and Consultant, as described in
Exhibit A, subject to appropriation of funds and written authorization to proceed. This fee will be full and
total compensation for all services provided or expenses incurred in performing the tasks referred to in
Phases 7b, 8a, 10, 12a, 12b, 12c, 13, and 18a (or other phases or tasks as may be mutually agreed by
City and Consultant)from Section I1. For services provided in Section II, payment will be made based
upon the Consultant's estimate of the portion of work completed. In no case will payments exceed 90% of

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Multi-Purpose Arena - (Project No. 4236)
BACKGROUND: The seating package was not included in the construction contract
awarded by Council to Fulton/Coastcon J.V., LLC. Seating is a specialty item that is
frequently bid directly by seating manufacturers, their authorized representatives or seat
installers. This eliminates an administrative layer from the process with resulting
administrative markups.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: This large complex project has had numerous actions taken
by Council. A list of the most significant Council and staff actions is attached. See Exhibit
B.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project provides for the purchase and installation of
seating, telescoping platform seating and portable stages. Three levels of seating are
being provided consisting of general seating, club seating, and suite seating. The general
seating is a folding plastic seat. Club seating is upgraded to a padded fabric seat. Suite
seating will have a heavier padding and wooden armrests. The package includes aisle
lighting, electric operators for the telescoping platforms, and semi-automatic chairs for the
telescoping platforms.
.BID INFORMATION: The project was bid as a base bid and three additive alternates.
Each additive alternate consisted of an Item A and B to allow the City to compare
alternatives and select the best value for the City.
BID EVALUATION: Bids were received and opened October 29, 2003. Four bids were
opened with base bids ranging from $424,895 to $1,354,727. Stage Right submitted a
partial bid that did not include all bid items, and was rejected as non-responsive. Key
Enterprises submitted a fax or photocopy of a cashier's check as bid security. The bid was
rejected as non-responsive for failure to include the required bid security. Irwin Seating
Company submitted the apparent Iow bid. During bid evaluation, it was discovered that
their bid did not include the seating for the upper deck. Irwin Seating has agreed to honor
their bid at the price offered. See Exhibit B.
AWARD: The recommended award of $1,230,504.75 is for the base bid, Additive
Alternates No. lA, 2B, and 3A. Additive Alternate lA provides for installation of Ecoglo
Strip Aisle Lighting which eliminates the need for additional electrical work consisting of
circuits, conduit and conductors. The Arena Operator (SMG) recommended the use of
Ecoglo Strip Aisle Lighting based on their experience at other facilities. Additive Alternate
No. 2B provides Electrical Operation of Telescoping Platforms. These are considered
JEXHIBIT "A"I
Page I of 2
H:\HOME\KEVINS\G EN~Arena\Seating~AwdBkgExhAIrwin.doc
superior to the Power Tractor Operator as they are less subject to operator mistakes and
result in a longer platform life. Additive Alternate SA provides Telescoping Semi-Automatic
Chairs.
FUNDING: The change order will be funded by the Arena CIP Fund. The seating package
was budgeted $1,800,000.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
AEP Texas Central Company (Company) is a transmission and distribution electric
utility. In 2000, the Public Utility Commission set non-bypassable rates for Company to
charge Retail Electric Providers for delivery of energy over AEP transmission and
distribution facilities to end-users. The transmission and distribution rates were
calculated based on projected data and a rate of return that did not reflect current cost
of capital.
The City is an end-user of a Retail Electric Provider under its membership in the South
Texas Aggregation Project and is charged Company's non-bypassable rates. The
experience of the STAP cities has been that street lighting and large demand metered
accounts have been charged excessive non-bypassable costs because the tariffs were
calculated with proposed instead of actual data. In July 2003, several STAP cities
initiated a review of the transmission and distribution rates. However, in response to
resolutions filed by STAP cities, AEP negotiated a procedural schedule for a rate filing.
On November 3, 2003, the City received a copy of Company's application before the
PUC to change transmission and distribution rates, with proposed effective date of
December 8, 2003. The City retains original jurisdiction over electric transmission and
distribution rates to ensure they are reasonable. Cities may suspend an effective date
proposed by the Company for 90 days, but suspension must occur within 35 days of the
Company's rate filing. Staff recommends that the rates be suspended for 90 days to
allow the City time to evaluate the request for its reasonableness. Staff also
recommends that the City be authorized to intervene in the rate case before the PUC
Under Texas law, the Company is responsible for the City's reasonable costs for
consultants, accountants, auditors, attorneys and engineers who provide services for
the City in the rate review determination proceeding.
RESOLUTION
OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS SUSPENDING THE
EFFECTIVE DATE OF AEP TEXAS CENTRAL COMPANY'S

CASE EXPENSES; REQUIRING NOTICE OF THIS RESOLUTION TO
