PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council has not taken formal action previously on this project; however, the Corpus Christi Housing Finance Corporation will serve as general partner of Costa Tarragona II, Ltd. and it approved the submission of an allocation request for low- income housing tax credits from TDHCA for this project on January 20, 2009. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Resolution of support. gef R. Escobar City Manager `angele @cctexas.com 826 -3220 Attachments BACKGROUND INFORMATION In 2005, the Corpus Christi Housing Finance Corporation (CCHFC) approved the formation of Costa Tarragona I, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, and the issuance of $10,680,000 in multi - family revenue bonds for the development of a 250 -unit apartment project at the southeast corner of the interchange of North Padre Island Drive and Interstate Highway 37. The CCHFC serves as the general partner of the Costa Tarragona I limited partnership, and the NRP Group serves as the management company. The development and construction costs for the Costa Tarragona 1 project were raised through the issuance of low- income housing tax credits allocated by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) and the private placement of a special revenue bond issue by the CCHFC. No funds of the City of Corpus Christi were involved, and nothing in the transaction made the City obligated on any of the liabilities of either the CCHFC or the limited partnership. The NRP Group was the co- developer of the Costa Tarragona I project and continues to serve as the management company for the apartments. The project was successfully completed in 2008 and has maintained 96% to 100% occupancy. The Corpus Christi Housing Finance Corporation has received over $300,000 of development fees in the past three years for serving as the general partner of the Costa Tarragona I limited partnership. The NRP Group initially acquired a larger tract of land at that location, and the plans always have included a Phase II of the apartment project to consist of 96 additional units when the market was established. The tract of land is available for development on the same cost -basis as the original Costa Tarragona I development. In January 2009, the CCHFC approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with NRP Group to commence work on Phase II. This MOU is similar to the original Memorandum of Understanding for Costa Tarragona I originally approved in 2004. An application for a low - income housing tax credit allocation was submitted to the TDHCA in 2009, but that application was withdrawn by NRP Group due to market conditions affecting low- income housing tax credits. A new application for a low- income housing tax credit allocation of up to $1,335,746 is being filed for 2010, and all documents must be submitted to TDHCA by March 1, 2010. The application packet includes a requirement for a resolution of support from the City Council. The City is not in any way limited to supporting only one project for low- income housing tax credits. Due to the existence of the Costa Tarragona I project in this census tract and the relatively small size of the census tract, more than 30% of the residential rental units in this census tract will be supported with low- income housing tax credits if this project is approved. A particular finding is required in the resolution concerning that fact. RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE PROPOSED COSTA TARRAGONA II DEVELOPMENT FOR THE AWARD OF LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDITS BY THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS WHEREAS, Costa Tarragona II, Ltd. has proposed a development for affordable rental housing at 2240 North Padre Island Drive named Costa Tarragona II (the "Development ") in the City of Corpus Christi to be built adjacent to the existing Costa Tarragona apartments at the intersection of North Padre Island Drive and Interstate Highway 37; and WHEREAS, Costa Tarragona II, Ltd. intends to submit an application to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for up to $1,335,746 in 2010 Housing Tax Credits for Costa Tarragona II; and WHEREAS, pursuant to §50.6(g) in Title 10 of the Texas Administrative Code, the City acknowledges that the proposed new construction Development is located in a census tract that has more than 30% Housing Tax Credit Units per total households in the census tract; and WHEREAS, the City of Corpus Christi has determined there is a need for additional affordable housing units in the proposed Development location; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS, THAT: The City of Corpus Christi hereby supports the proposed Costa Tarragona II development, and votes specifically to approve the construction of the Development and authorize an allocation of housing tax credits for the Development by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. DULY adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City on the 23rd day of February, 2010.

S. Haren Company of Athens, Tennessee, in the amount of $981,000.00 for Lift Station Rehabilitation 2009 — Peary Place Lift Station, Clarkwood South Lift Station, Williams Lift Station, Wooldridge Lift Station, Coquina Bay Lift Station and Laguna Shores Lift Station for the Total Base Bid Parts A, B, C, D, E, F and G (Wastewater CIP 2010). ISSUE: This project addresses upgrades to six lift station's equipment and systems that are beyond their usable service life in order to extend overall lift station service life, reduce long -term maintenance costs, improve flow capacities, and meet Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) guidelines including reducing overflows and providing for redundant systems. The proposed project provides rehabilitation of the six lift stations including bypass operations for the replacement of pumps, pump bases, guide rails, control panels, main electrical disconnects, discharge piping, fittings, valves and other miscellaneous items to restore reliable service to the areas supported by the lift stations. On January 27, 2010, the City received proposals from four (4) bidders (see Exhibit "C" Tabulation of Bids). The bids range from $981,000.00 to $1,313,750.00. The estimated cost of construction is $838,310.00. The apparent low bid is, approximately $143,000 greater than the estimated cost of construction. The City's consultant, Urban Engineering, reviewed the bids and it appears that the additional cost is attributed to equipment cost and complexity of the valve and piping removal and replacement in some of the lift stations. Urban Engineering and City staff recommend a contract be awarded to J. S. Haren Company in the amount of $981,000.00 for Lift Station Rehabilitation 2009 — Peary Place Lift Station, Clarkwood South Lift Station, Williams Lift Station, Wooldridge Lift Station, Coquina Bay Lift Station and Laguna Shores Lift Station for the Total Base Bid Parts A, B, C, D, E, F and G. FUNDING: Funding is available from the Wastewater Capital Improvement Budget FY 2010. RECOMMENDATION: Staff ecommends approval of the rr9tion as presented.

The project consists of a Total Base Bid Parts A, B, C, D, E, F and G. • Part A — Peary Place Lift Station • Part B — Clarkwood South Lift Station • Part C — Williams Lift Station • Part D — Wooldridge Lift Station • Part E — Coquina Bay Lift Station • Part F — Laguna Shores Lift Station • Part G — Utility Allowance and Force Main dewatering Allowance CONTRACT TERMS: The project is estimated to require 150 calendar days, with completion anticipated in September 2010. PROJECT BACKGROUND: This project provides for implementation of a strategic lifecycle program for future projects and funding requirements with cost benefit analysis for the City's 99 lift stations. The project identifies, prioritizes and implements specific capital improvement projects in a phased design and construction approach. Previous studies were developed into specific projects presented as separate CIP projects. The existing lift station systems have reached the end of their effective life cycle and are at a point where further deterioration will jeopardize operations and service from the lift stations. This project was developed and packaged with multiple lift stations to simultaneously address the needed improvements, thereby benefiting from increased competition and economy of scale.

EXHIBIT "A" Page 1 of 2 METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION: Job Order Contracting (JOC) is an innovative contracting technique created for facilities maintenance and construction - related services to assist with obtaining greater contractor performance in relation to smaller projects on a cost - effective and timely basis. The JOC Program utilizes an "on -call" general construction contractor on an as- needed basis for an Indefinite Quantity Contract to perform minor construction, repair, rehabilitation or alteration of facilities. Job Order Contracting streamlines the construction procurement process by establishing an overriding indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity agreement with purchase or delivery orders based on specific projects as needed. This process is extremely flexible, allowing scope and cost to be accurately detailed BEFORE award. The following are important benefits of using this contract method: > Allows a better defined scope with cost for the customer. ➢ Construction contract award can be accomplished in less than one month, significantly shortening the procurement time. ➢ Each delivery order is a stand -alone contract. Future awards will be based specifically on the contractor's performance and the needs of the City of Corpus Christi. > Change Orders are minimized. The approved contractor will specifically conduct detailed site visits and discussions with City Staff to review the requirements, work conditions, and facility condition prior to submitting a proposal. This will significantly reduce and /or eliminate unforeseen conditions and excessive cost growth.

The utility easements to be abandoned and vacated are located in a "B -4" General Business District.

ISSUE: Seashore Middle School has requested a school zone on Park Road 22 to slow traffic down for the safety of the students. Seashore Middle School is concemed about pedestrian safety. The request includes changing the speed limit lower than the current 55 miles per hour, when school speed zone lights are flashing. Traffic Engineering has reviewed the request and approved a reduction of speed from 55 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour, and needs council approval to install a school zone in the area described (See Exhibit B). REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Amending the Code of Ordinances Section 53 -255, Schedule V, requires City Council Approval. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: N/A CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the motion as presented. Attachments Exhibit "A" Background Information Exhibit "B" Site Map Pete Anaya, P.E. Director of Engineering Services PeteAn@cctexas.com 826 -3781 BACKGROUND INFORMATION REQUEST: Seashore Middle School has requested a school zone on Park Road 22 to slow traffic down for the safety of the students. Seashore Middle School is concerned about pedestrian safety. The request includes changing the speed limit lower than the current 55 miles per hour, during school zone hours only. Traffic Engineering has reviewed the request and approved a reduction of speed from 55 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour, and needs council approval to install a school zone in the area described (See Exhibit B). ISSUES: Delays to traffic will be negligible when considering the added safety for pedestrians as well as vehicles coming to and from the Seashore Middle School. Pedestrians will be able to identify gaps in traffic easier and will be safer when crossing the street because of improved driver reaction times. REVIEWED BY TRANSPORATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE: The Transportation Advisory Committee met on August 24, 2009 to review the recommendation and unanimously voted to recommend approval to the City Council of the proposed Speed Zone change from 55 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour on Park Road 22, from a point 1,000 feet south of Whitecap Boulevard to a point approximately 2,300 feet south of Whitecap Boulevard, when school speed zone lights are flashing.

In addition, the installation of bollards 50 feet from the mean high tide line between the northern end of the concrete Seawall and the Packery Channel Jetty will create a pedestrian safe area for beach goers on this heavily used segment of the Gulf beach. REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Council must approve City Ordinances and their Amendments. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Ordinance 027814, August 19, 2008 — calling an election to restrict vehicular access to and on the portion of the Gulf of Mexico Beach seaward of the concrete portion of the Padre Island Seawall.

Stacie Talbert, Interim Director Parks and Recreation StacieT(a�cctexas.com 361 826 -3476 Background This ordinance is the latest step in a long process to address the safety issues related to vehicles driving in front of the concrete portion of the Padre Island seawall ( "seawall "). The issues were first raised when citizens voiced concerns during public comment at Council meetings about the safety of beach goers using the beach in front of the seawall. The City had previously tried to close the beach in front of the seawall, which ended in a public initiative that was adopted by the voters in 2006, which requires a public vote before a measure is adopted that restricts vehicle access on the Gulf beaches. Chapter 10, Beachfront Management and Construction, Code of Ordinances, is the City's current General Land Office ( "GLO ") certified "City of Corpus Christi Dune Protection and Beach Access Plan." That plan, in §10- 77(a), as certified by GLO prohibits vehicles from driving within 25 feet seaward of the vegetation line or lower edge of the seawall "in order to provide for the safety of individuals using the beach, and especially children." It also prohibits, in §10- 73(e), operating a vehicle within fifty (50) feet of the water's edge on any section of Gulf beach. Taken together the two sections effectively prohibit driving on the beach in front of the seawall when the width of the beach is less than 75 feet. Since the beach has eroded at the south end of the seawall, and is normally less than 75 feet, drivers are faced with a quandary. Since there is currently one -way south bound traffic, vehicles can start driving south from Beach Access Road #4 where the beach is generally wide. When they approach the beach in front of the Holiday Inn, the beach starts to narrow. They are then faced with either continuing south and risk a ticket for either driving within 25 feet of the lower edge of the seawall or within 50 feet of the water or they can turn around and travel the wrong way on a one -way roadway. (The beach is technically a State highway.) On January 23, 2007, in attempt to address the safety issue, the City Council adopted Ordinance 027121, which changed the direction of travel in front of the seawall from one -way southbound to one -way northbound. The adoption of the change in traffic direction was conditioned upon approval by GLO. However, GLO did not approve the proposed change in the direction of one -way traffic. In 2008, concerns were again being voiced by citizens during public comment at Council meetings about the safety of beach goers using the beach in front of the seawall. The City Council received a presentation on the subject on June 24, 2008, from the City Manager. Then Councilman McCutchon attempted to address the situation, and developed a compromise with members of the Beach Access Coalition, Padre Island Business Association, and Surfrider Foundation. As part of the compromise, the City Council adopted Ordinances 027813 and 027814, August 19, 2008 placed a proposition on the November 4, 2008, ballot that authorized the Council to restrict vehicles in front of the seawall. The Council followed up with Resolution 027851, on September 9, 2008, which provided guidance on what the Council meant by restrictions on vehicular access to when and where the width of the beach was Tess than 150 feet. The Council also directed the installation of bollards. One row of bollards would preserve the 25 feet pedestrian safe space adjoining the seawall and second row would allow at least 50 feet for two way traffic between the bollards. It also provided for head -in parking, and would extend the seaward bollards toward the south Packery Channel jetty. On October 21, 2008, a new resolution, Resolution 027913, was adopted. That resolution addressed issues that had been raised about the row of bollards between the northern end of the seawall and south jetty, including provision for access for launching vessels. In the run- up to the election, the City Council also stated its intent to renourish the beach in front of the seawall in an expeditious manner, and to try to maintain the beach to a minimum width of 200 feet. Following voter approval of the ballot measure, the City Council adopted the compromise as Ordinance 027971, on December 9, 2008. The ordinance was submitted to GLO for review and approval. Because the GLO's staff was concentrating on responding to the issues related to Hurricane Ike in the Galveston area, they did not have time to address the City's proposed rule change. GLO asked the City to withdraw its ordinance from consideration, and resubmit it after the City and GLO staff could come to a consensus. The City formally withdrew the proposed rule change on May 27, 2009. Members of the GLO staff eventually visited the City on October 2, 2009, and were briefed on the safety problems in front of the seawall. As a result of that meeting, on December 7, 2009, GLO authorized the temporary emergency closure of the portions of the beach in front of the seawall when the beach is Tess than 150 feet in width. On January 4, 2010, the GLO submitted suggested modifications to the City's proposed rule changes. This proposed ordinance addresses the GLO's comments. Rather than amending Ordinance 027971, Ordinance 027971 is being repealed and a revised ordinance is proposed for passage in its place. With one exception, there are no significant substantive changes. The only substantive change is that it will allow vehicles to drive within 50 feet of the water when the sand on the upper beach is too soft to safely drive on. But it does prevent vehicles from driving between parked vehicles and the water to prevent interfering with swimmers running between the water and their vehicles and interference with fishing lines. If adopted by the City Council, the proposed ordinance will not take effect until the rule change is certified by GLO. The certification process should take at least 90 days. GLO needs to publish the proposed changes in a notice of proposed rulemaking, afford the public an opportunity to comment, publish the notice certifying the rule change and the delayed effective date. Once the rule is certified, the City will then initiate the process to install the bollards, put up the appropriate signs, and issue the appropriate press releases. Also, the location of the bollards may change if we re- nourish the beach with the latest FEMA grant.

Two (2) notices were returned in favor by the property owner and zero were returned in opposition. The 20% rule is not invoked. This case is considered noncontroversial. State law 20% rule is invoked when property owners who own 20% of the land within the 200 foot radius of the subject property are opposed. Invoking the 20% rule requires a three - quarters favorable vote of the City Council for a change of zoning to be approved, rather than a simple majority. Unless such proposed change is approved by the Planning Commission such change shall not become effective except by a favorable vote of a majority plus one of the City Council present and voting.

Zoning Request From: "I -2" Light Industrial District To: "I -3" Heavy Industrial District Area: 1,000 sq. ft. out of .82 acres total. Purpose of Request: The applicant is requesting a change in zoning from "I -2" Light Industrial District to "I -3" Heavy Industrial District on a 1,000 square foot portion of a .82 -acre land parcel to allow for a 1,000 gallon, UL 2085, "above ground" fuel storage tank.

The proposed change in zoning is not consistent with the adopted Future Land Use Plan which designates the area for light industrial uses. However, the modification to the ADP is acceptable for this small parcel which is compatible with the adjacent industrial tracts. Map No.: 055046 Zoning Violations: None STAFF SUMMARY: Request: The applicant is requesting a change of zoning on 1,000 sq. feet of a .82 -acre land parcel from an "I -2" Light Industrial District to an "I -3" Heavy Industrial District. The applicant is requesting a change in zoning for the installation of a UL 2085 "above ground" fuel storage tank with a 1,000 gallon capacity. City Council Zoning Report Page 2 Existing Land Uses: Currently, the subject property is used as a heavy equipment rental establishment. The request to allow for the above ground fuel storage tank is to provide fuel storage for business fleet and equipment operators. The subject property is surrounded by a vacant lot to the south zoned as an "I -2" Light - Industrial" District, and the remaining surrounding properties are also zoned, and being used for, light industrial uses. Existing Zoning: The purpose of the "I -2" Light Industrial District is to provide for light manufacturing, fabrication, warehousing, and wholesale distributing in high or low buildings with access to an arterial street, freeway, or railroad in central or outlying areas of the city. Residential uses are not allowed. The "I -2" District requires a minimum 20 -foot front yard setback and no side or rear yard setbacks are required unless the property abuts a residential district; in which case a 10 -foot side and rear set back would be required. The "I -2" District does not have a minimum lot size, lot frontage, height limitation, open space requirement, or floor area intensity factor requirement. Proposed Zoning: The "I -3" Heavy Industrial District provides for industrial operations of all types except that certain potentially hazardous industries, such as above - ground fuel tanks, are permitted through the Special Permit approval process, reviewed and approved through the City's Zoning Board of Adjustment, to assure protection of the public interest and surrounding property and persons. Applicant: Marwell Properties, LP Case #: 0110 -04 Transportation and Circulation: The subject property has access to Leopard Street, which is an A2P Arterial right -of -way, currently a 4 -lane, divided right -of -way with a center grass median with 30 feet of paved surface on each side of the median. This portion of Leopard Street is being planned as an A3 Arterial, 130 -foot wide divided right -of -way with 6 -lanes, and a total of 100 font nit�n nrnnnea� right- of -wav nAVP.CI. r C Street R.O.W. r Street Urban Transportation Plan Type Existing ROW and Paved Section Planned ROW and Paved Section Traffic Volume Leopard Street A2P /A -3 Arterial 100' wide ROW four - Lanes /30'each side paved 130' wide ROW six- lanes /100'paved EB 3,563 WB 3,092 (2008) Infrastructure Demand: ••• Water: + Wastewater: • Stormwater: An 8 -inch water line runs along the front of the property on Leopard Street. A 2 -inch wastewater line runs along the southern portion of Leopard Street. The closest stormwater line is located approximately 1,190 feet from the subject property located northwest on Southern Minerals Road. City Council Zoning Report Applicant: Marwell Properties, LP Case #: 0110 -04 Page 3 Public Safety: • Police: ••• Fire: The subject property is served by the Corpus Christi Police Department Direct Patrol District A10. In 1993, 637 crimes were reported, with a decrease to 380 crimes reported in 2005. The closest Fire Stations are; Station # 12, located at located at 2120 Rand Morgan Road. Estimated response time is less than five minutes. Environmental Constraints: • FEMA Flood Zone: Zone C, "areas of minimal flooding ". • Soil Type: Victoria clays, 0 to 3 percent slopes. • Wetlands: The subject property is not located in or adjacent to a wetland. • Flight Zone: The subject property is not located within any Flight Zone. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY: The adopted Future Land Use Plan designates the subject property for light industrial uses. Except for a small portion of the property zoned with the proposed "I -3" Heavy Industrial District, the primary use of the property will be light industrial uses consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. In addition to the Future Land Use Plan, policies from the Corpus Christi Policy Statements and the Area Development Plans are provided below. INCOMPATIBLE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL LAND USES SHOULD NOT ABUT RESIDENTIAL AREAS. Many of the activities allowed in the industrial and commercial districts are incompatible with residential areas. Whenever possible, such uses should be separated from residential areas. When these uses must abut residential areas, steps shall be taken to minimize conflicts, i.e., provision of open space, landscaping, screening fences, etc. Staff Comment: There will be no impact to future residential areas since the proposed fuel tank storage site is surrounded by light industrial zoned properties, which are also planned for light industrial uses as shown by the adopted Future Land Use Map. AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN CONSISTENCY: Port /Airport/Violet ADP The specific goal of the Port/Airport/Violet Area Development Plan is to promote redevelopment of under -used land and proper development of abundant vacant land in the area. Staff Comment: While heavy industrial zoning is not supported by the plan, the area development plan does support sustaining the existing uses in the area and encourages new commercial and industrial uses. The principle light industrial use of the property is consistent with the plan and the above ground fuel storage tank can be considered an accessory to the primary commercial use. City Council Zoning Report Applicant: Marwell Properties, LP Case #: 0110 -04 Page 4 PLAT STATUS: The 1,000 square foot portion of the subject property is not platted. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: ❖ The Fire Marshall has reviewed the application and has no objections to the rezoning request. • The fuel tank is buffered by surrounding light industrial outdoor storage uses. PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION: Denial of an "I -3" Heavy Industrial District in lieu of approval of an "I -2" Light - Industrial District with a Special Permit for one (1) UL2085 above ground fuel storage tank not to exceed 1,000 gallons subject to a site plan with the following conditions: 1. Uses: All uses allowed in the "I -2" Light Industrial District plus one UL2085 above ground fuel tank not to exceed 1,000 gallons. 2. Fire Department Approval: The above ground fuel tank shall meet all Fire Department requirements. 3. Zoning Board of Adjustments Approval: The above ground fuel tank will require Zoning Board of Adjustment approval. 4. Time Limit: Such Special Permit shall be deemed to have expired within 1 year of the date of this ordinance, unless the property is being used as outlined in Condition #1 and in compliance with all other conditions.

III. PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEMS B. ZONING 1. New Zoning a. Case No. 0110 -04 — Marwell Properties, LP. A change of zoning on a 1,000 square foot portion of the property from the "I -2" Light Industrial District to the "I -3" Heavy Industrial District for an Above Ground Fuel Storage Tank. Allen & Cameron Ind Pk5, Lots 6C and 6D, generally located at 7410 and 7412 Leopard Street, approximately 740 feet northwest of Southern Minerals Road. Senior City Planner Lisa Wargo stated that the representative for this case is James Zigier. Ms. Wargo presented a Power Point presentation. The applicant is requesting a change of zoning from the "I -2" Light Industrial District to the "I -3" Heavy Industrial District for a 1,000 gallon, UL 2085, "above ground" fuel storage tank. The "I -2" Light Industrial District provides for light manufacturing, fabricating, warehousing, and wholesale distributing; this district does not permit above - ground fuel storage tanks except through the Special Permit process. The "I -3" Heavy- Industrial District Permits industrial operations of all types, provided that potentially hazardous industries and uses are reviewed and approved through the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Staff Recommendation is denial of an "I -3" Heavy Industrial District in lieu of approval of a Special Permit with the following four (4) conditions: 1. Uses: All uses allowed by the "I -2" District plus up to one UL 2085 above ground fuel storage tank, not to exceed 1,000 gallons. Planning Commission Minutes January 20, 2010 Page 2 2. Fire Department Approval: The above ground fuel tank shall meet all Fire Department requirements. 3. Zoning Board of Adjustments Approval: The above ground fuel tank will not be allowed without Zoning Board of Adjustment approval. 4. Time Limit: Such Special Permit shall be deemed to have expired within one year of the date of this ordinance, unless the property is being used as outlined in Condition #1 and in compliance with all other conditions. Six (6) notices were mailed within the 200 foot notification area and two (2) outside the 200 foot area. Zero was returned in favor and zero was returned in opposition. There were no zoning code violations and the site has not been platted. The public hearing was opened for a public commenting period by Chairman Garza. No one came forward in favor or in opposition of the applicant's request. The public hearing was closed. Chairman Garza asked the Commissioners if there were any questions for staff. Commissioner Skrobarczyk asked if storage tanks were ever added to the zoning ordinance as a permitted use in the "I -2" District? He thought that the fuel storage tank issue was updated to be included in part of the ordinance. Mrs. Faryce Goode Macon stated that the issue was part of the base zoning committee for the UDC. The issue was addressed, but no decision would be made until the whole process was reviewed. The fuel storage tank issue will be a part of the committee's recommendation when the process is completed. Commission Skrobarczyk inquired about the zoning to the east of Southern Minerals Road. Staff replied the zoning was "I -2" Light Industrial. Chairman Garza asked if the applicant was present and if he agreed with staff's recommendation of the special permit with conditions. The applicant answered yes to Chairman Garza's question. Chairman Garza asked the commissioners for a motion. Motion to approve staffs recommendation for denial of the ' I -3 District in lieu of a Special Permit for an above ground fuel storage tank with the 4 conditions stated was made by Commissioner Skrobarczyk and seconded by Commissioner Taylor. Commissioner Nadkarni was absent. The motion passed unanimously.

Most of the proposed amendments pertain to the City's Urban Transportation Plan, as the map portion of the Future Land Use Plan is routinely amended when City Council rezones property. However, several Future Land Use Plan amendments are included. A summary of draft Transportation Plan amendments is contained in Attachment 1. For a detailed discussion and analysis of Urban Transportation Plan amendments see Attachment 2. Proposed Future Land Use amendments are contained in Attachment 3. June 18, 2009 — Staff presented recommended Urban Transportation Plan Amendments to the MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization) Technical Advisory Committee for the purpose of gaining MPO input into the plan amendments. The Technical Advisory Committee members did not object to any of the proposed changes except for the deletion of the Compton Road Extension east of Flour Bluff Drive. Staff initially recommended the Compton Road Extension east of Flour Bluff Drive be deleted from the plan since the proposed connection with the SPID frontage road is shown on the current plan too close Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 3 February 23, 2010 to the SPID off -ramp (within 400 feet to ramp). The MPO Technical Advisory Committee indicated that the plan should still show a connection of Compton Road to SPID but the connection should be moved eastward to a connection that is consistent with TxDOT safety standards. Staff is in agreement with this change and has illustrated the plan amendment on Exhibit 6. The MPO TAC suggested that staff add intersection widening graphics to the plan so that intersection widening at arterial/arterial and arterial /collector intersections is supported by a the Comprehensive Plan. Staff has added the intersection widening graphic to the list of plan changes as illustrated on Exhibit 9. The MPO Transportation Advisory Committee suggested that the planned capacity of the arterial streets should be reviewed as some of the capacities listed may be too low. Staff has reviewed several cities and suggested revisions to the planned capacities of the A -2 Secondary Arterial and A -3 Primary Arterial. July 27, 2009 — Staff presented recommended Urban Transportation Plan changes to the City's TAC (Transportation Advisory Committee) for discussion. September 28, 2009 — Staff presented the Urban Transportation Plan changes to the TAC for action. The TAC recommended the approval of the changes provided a statement is added to the Urban Transportation Plan map indicating that "Widening may be required for streets designated on the City's Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan". October 2, 2009 — Staff presented the plan changes to the `Bay Area Smart Growth Initiative" (an informal planning group of citizens interested in promoting "Smart Growth ") The Smart Growth Group indicated that they would like to study the existing plan first and possibly conduct a workshop for their organization to formulate recommendations for the Plan. Staff suggested that they provide their input as soon as possible. October 21, 2009 — Staff met with Staff members of the Port of Corpus Christi to discuss plan amendments. October 24, 2009 — Bay Area Smart Growth Initiative Workshop. Initiated by John Kelly of the Bay Area Smart Growth Initiative (BASGI), a workshop was held on October 2, 2009. Those attending included representatives from the Regional Transit Authority, Texas A & M Corpus Christi, the Metropolitan Planning Organization, local developers, engineering consultants, architects and the City. Subsequently, the BASGI indicated that they are not opposed to any of the plan amendments proposed thus far. In addition, the BASGI suggested that the Urban Transportation Plan incorporate a light rail concept map as a potential alternative to traditional road improvement projects and a high speed water transportation routing for connectivity across the bay. December 9, 2009 — Planning Commission discussion. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 4 February 23, 2010 December 18, 2009 — Mailout invitation to community groups inviting them to attend the Planning Commission public hearing and or submit comments to Staff (See Attachment 4 — Notice of hearing and initiation to community groups) January 13, 2010 — Presentation and input from the Builders Association. January 20, 2010 — Planning Commission public hearing and action. The Port of Corpus Christi staff attended the meeting and supported the proposed changes. The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) also indicated that the Technical Advisory Committee of the MPO supported the changes to the plan. A representative from the RTA Board attended and thanked staff for including in the plan recommendations concept maps in support of multi -modal initiatives on light rail and water transportation. Two shopping center owners / developers spoke concerning the proposed plan amendments. One of the owners was in favor of the plan amendments and the other expressed concerns for the use of medians on arterial streets. The Planning Commission expressed several concerns on the existing traffic congestion on the south side area and the potential for future traffic congestion. The Commission directed staff to explore the potential for a freeway or high capacity arterial connection (in addition to Crosstown Expressway) from the proposed South Loop to SPID. The Planning Commission indicated that pedestrian and bicycle issues need to be addressed in the plan. Staff stated that the City Council appointed a Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee and additional amendments to the plan are likely after the Committee has had sufficient time to review the plan during the next six months. The Commission raised some concerns with the proposed Smart Growth policy amendments to the Future Land Use Plan. The Commission recommended that the Smart Growth policy amendments be taken out of the proposed plan for more study. Staff is in agreement with the Planning Commission recommendation and the policy on smart growth has been removed from the recommended plan amendments. February 9, 2010 — City Council presentation. February 23, 2010 — City Council public hearing and first reading of the Ordinance. March 9, 2010 — City Council second reading and adoption of the Ordinance. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 5 February 23, 2010 Notification: Over 1,000 notices were sent out to neighborhood groups, shopping center developers, architects, professional engineers, chamber of commerce (three in Corpus Christi), homeowners associations, public agencies including schools, the Port of Corpus Christi, TxDOT, RTA and the Metropolitan Planning Organization and many others.

A portion of the area is currently shown as medium density (apartment use) and low density residential use (single family) which will be changed to a commercial future use. 25. Planning Commission and Staff are not recommending the following change: This change is included as a citizen request to change the Future Land Use map from commercial, medium density and low density residential to Tight industrial uses at the northwest corner of County Road 69 and County Road 52. The request is based on the fact that that the existing use at the corner is a large electrical transformer station. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 9 February 23, 2010 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS Attachment 2 Transportation Plan and Future Land Use Plan Background, Analysis and Exhibits 1. Ennis Joslin Boulevard extended, SPID to Holly Road A group of owners of land south of South Padre Island Drive (State Highway 358), adjacent to Ennis Joslin Road (Spur 3) have approached the City with a proposal to extend Ennis Joslin south of South Padre Island Drive as part of a multi - family residential project. The land owners have requested that the City consider revising the existing plan designation of an A -3, Arterial Cross Section with six lanes and a median to an A -2, Arterial Cross Section with four lanes and a median. A location map showing of the project site is shown below in Figure 1. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 10 February 23, 2010 Ennis Joslin Road north of South Padre Island Drive has an A -2 arterial functional classification and is maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and designated as Spur 3 by TxDOT. The segment south of South Padre Island Drive is classified as an A -3 arterial but is not intended to be extended by TxDOT. The land owner' expressed concern that future traffic may not warrant a large A -3 six - lane cross section with a capacity of 36,000 average daily trips (ADT). Also, an A -2, four -lane cross section would match the existing section of Ennis Joslin, which has only four lanes. Table 1 indicates that if projected traffic levels were 26,000 trips, an A -2 Arterial with four lanes would be as sufficient to meet future needs. Although the Ennis Joslin Extension has not been built, similar locations provide insight into potential traffic levels in the future. Some of these streets are Weber Road (A -2), Everhart Road (A -1), Staples Street (A -2) and Airline Road (A -1) at their TABLE 1: Ennis Joslin Boulevard extended, SPID to Holly Road Existing Conditions Adopted A -3 Designation/ Projection 130 feet Proposed A -2 Designation/ Projection 100 feet Right -of -way None Lanes Not Applicable 6 4 Cent.

Each of these four streets at SPID are some of the most congested locations in the City. Traffic Engineering's traffic counts for these streets are listed below in Table 1.1. In addition, the Metropolitan Planning Organizations traffic projections are provided. 4 Unless otherwise noted, Projected Traffic is based on the Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO) most current traffic projections. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 11 February 23, 2010 Table 1.1: Traffic Counts (City Traffic Daily Two Way MPO Engineering Division) Trips Projection Street Between 2005 2006 2030 Weber (A -2) SH 358 (SPID) Holly NA 38,503 60,000 Everhart (A -1) SH 358 (SPID) Williams 28,754 65,000 Staples (A -2) SH 358 (SPID) Williams 40,207 65,000 Airline (A -1) SH 358 (SPID) Williams 33,670 54,000 The traffic capacity of each of the streets in Table 2 is approximately 25,000 trips per day. These right -of -ways are currently over capacity. (See Table 1.1) Staff Recommendation: Ennis Joslin Boulevard extended, SPID to Holly Road. After review of existing data, Staff recommends that an A -3 cross section should be maintained from SPID to Holly Road so that 130 feet of right -of -way is acquired. However, Staff also recognizes that only a four -lane roadway may be needed until additional development / traffic occurs. Once the area is fully developed and traffic volumes increase, sufficient right -of -way will be available for an additional two travel lanes. A reduction from an A -3 Arterial with 130 feet of right -of -way (6 lanes) to an A -2 Arterial with 100 feet of right -of -way (4 lanes) is not recommended for the following reasons: 1. At Level of Service C, 25,000 trips per day is the upper limit of an A -2 cross section. Projection of 2030 traffic is over 25,000 trips in Table 1. 2. Currently, the city's most congested intersections are located at the arterial approaches to SPID. Extending Ennis Joslin Road will continue the pattern of higher traffic volumes in the vicinity of SPID. 3. Providing for an A -3 right -of -way between SPID and Holly Road, with two outside lanes will assure that the two main lanes of traffic in each direction are not interrupted by right turning movements in the future. 2. Ennis Joslin - Holly Road to Wooldridge Road South of Holly Road, the projection of traffic on Ennis Joslin extended is much less than at the approach to SPID. The MPO 2030 vehicle trip projection for Ennis Joslin Road south of Holly Road is only 16,000 trips per day, which is well below the upper limit of the A -2, four -lane roadway (25,000 adt). In addition, the area is primarily being developed in accordance with the City's Future Land Use Plan as a low- density residential area consisting of low traffic generating characteristics. For example, the Terra Mar Development is a series of subdivisions east of Rodd Field Road in the area between Holly Road and Wooldridge Road. Ennis Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 12 February 23, 2010 Joslin's southerly extension would provide connections to streets in these subdivisions. Homes are already being built in at least two of the seven neighborhoods.

This project is planned to include a conservation nature park along the Oso Creek / Oso Bay area, with a conservation center, parking Tots, trails with signage, wetland development and viewing areas, information kiosks, camp grounds, restrooms, a birding trail, and other amenities. The park will be a resource for area schools through environmental programs. Staff Recommendation: Ennis Joslin - Holly Road to Wooldridge Road. A change from an A -3 cross section to an A -2 cross section for the section of Ennis Joslin south of Holly Road is justified based on the following reasons: 1. The proposed amendment would make the southern segment of Ennis Joslin Road south of Holly Road consistent with the Metropolitan Planning Organizations projection of traffic. 2. Design speeds for an A -2 Arterial of 35 -45 mph are more appropriate than the higher speed A -3 Arterial of up to 55 mph in this planned residential area. According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, there is a strong correlation between higher vehicle speeds and pedestrian crash occurrence with injury5. 5 Literature Review on Vehicle Travel Speeds and Pedestrian Injuries, U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, DOT HS 809 021 October 1999.

To the west of Rodd Field Road, Holly Road is fully improved as an A -1 Arterial with four lanes and a center left -turn lane. Currently, Holly Road east of Rodd Field is a two -lane county road cross section. Holly Road provides an important connective link between the Ennis Joslin (A -3) extension to Rodd Field Road (A -3). Connecting these primary arterials will provide a higher capacity arterial system to between SPID and Holly Road. Staff Recommendation: Holly Road, east of Rodd Field to Ennis Joslin Extension, is recommended to remain an A -3 Primary Arterial. The reasons to maintain the designation on the Transportation Plan are summarized below: 1. The A -3 Arterial cross section will provide a connection between other primary arterial roadways. 2. Higher density land uses expected along SPID will be served by a primary arterial roadway. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 14 February 23, 2010 4.

The City recently upgraded the road from two to four lanes and a center left turn lane from Airline Road to Rodd Field as part of a 2004 Bond project. The project also includes reconstructing and widening the road to four lanes from Airline Road to Staples Street. Construction on the Airline -to- Staples segment is expected to begin in the Summer 2009 and completed in early 2010. The roadway improvements west of Rodd Field Road were based on the ultimate design width for the foreseeable future, with pavement designed to have a 20 -year life cycle. The 2008 Bond Program contains an improvement to Wooldridge Road from Rodd Field to Quebec Street. The 2008 Bond project will improve Wooldridge Road to an interim street cross section with two through -lanes and a center left-turn lane. Other improvements include: curb and gutter, sidewalks, ADA curb ramps, lane striping and pavement markings, street lighting and a bike lane. Staff Recommendation: Wooldridge Road, east of Rodd Field Road. Staff recommends reducing the A -3 Arterial designation to an A -2 Arterial on Wooldridge Road, between Rodd Field and the extension of Ennis Joslin Road. The reasons for a change to the Transportation Plan are summarized below: Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 15 February 23, 2010 1. Metropolitan Planning Organization projected traffic levels for 2030 on Wooldridge Road are 7,000 to 9,000 average daily trips, which is far below the design capacity for an A -3 Arterial at LOS C up to 36,000 average daily trips. 2. Wooldridge Road is in relatively close proximity to a freeway (SPID less than 1.5 miles to the north) and to another arterial (Holly Road less than one mile to the north) which, together will provide sufficient roadway capacity for the foreseeable future. 3. Recent improvements on Wooldridge Drive west of Rodd Field Road were engineered for ultimate width of four lanes and a center left -turn lane. 5. Airline Road, SPID to Wooldridge Road Airline Road is designated as an A -1, arterial with four lanes and a continuous left-turn lane. A -1 arterials are designated to contain 95 feet of right -of -way. Currently, on Airline Road between SPID and Williams Drive there is at least 80 feet of right -of -way with expansion of the right -of -way at SPID to 90 feet for left and right- turning lanes. (Exhibit 1) In the segment between Williams Road and Holly Road, there is full development along the roadway with only about 10 feet between street right -of -way and adjacent buildings. (Exhibit 2) South of Holly, development is partially developed with good potential for obtaining additional right -of -way. (Exhibit 3) The capacity of an A -1 arterial roadway at Level of Service C is 24,000 average daily trips. Existing traffic volumes are over 30,000 trips per day based on the City's Traffic Engineering Division 2005 traffic counts. A 2007 Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) study determined that sections of Airline Road are functioning at Level Of Service F. Level F is the poorest level of service in the International Traffic Engineers (ITE) system for estimated street functionality.

Not _ Applicable Not Applicable Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 16 February 23, 2010 Future traffic volumes have been estimated by the MPO. In 2007, an MPO Access Management Study estimated that in 2030 future traffic volumes would range between 42,000 to 54,000 trips per day on Airline Road between SPID and Wooldridge Road. The projected trip volumes would be 175% of capacity to 225% of capacity for an A -1 Arterial Street at Level of Service C. Even if Airline Road can be improved with a median and additional lanes to an A -3 arterial with a LOS C capacity of 36,000 trips per day, the street is still likely to operated at less than ideal LOS C conditions. Other improvements will help reduce the deficiencies of capacity on Airline Road, such as the 2008 Bond Program Improvement to Williams Drive to a four -lane collector which will provide a relief route or escape to less congested streets. Designation and improvement of this portion of Airline Road to an A -3 arterial would add a travel lane in each direction and a median. While obtaining the full 130 feet of right -of- way may not be feasible due to existing development, obtaining another 15 feet of right - of -way or more appears to be feasible north of Williams Road and south of Holly Road to provide two lanes of traffic and a median. The area behind the back of curb would have to be reduced to a tied -to -curb sidewalk. For the segment north of Williams Drive to the freeway, adding two new travel lanes would help to ensure that two free - flowing travel lanes are preserved at SPID and at Williams Drive. Right turning movements off of the SPID frontage road and right- turning onto Williams Drive would have unrestricted movement. Similarly, right- turning movements from Williams Drive onto Airline Road would not block north bound traffic in the main two lanes. The two lanes would also enable four lanes of free flowing traffic through the other major intersections of Holly and Cimarron Road. In addition, designation as an A -3 cross section would permit the construction of a 14 to 16 foot - wide median to control left turning movements. Medians are well recognized as a benefit to enhancing traffic flow. For the segment between Williams Drive and Holly Road, existing development may prevent widening to allow for two additional traffic lanes and a median. Short term, alternatives to relieve traffic could include enhancements to the paralleling collector streets, such a Trey Way Lane and shared driveway access. Long term, it is advisable to preserve the opportunity to acquire additional right -of -way with an A -3 designation so that as redevelopment occurs additional right -of -way can be dedicated. For Airline Road between Holly Road to Wooldridge Road there are several vacant properties where additional right -of -way could be acquired during the development process. Staff Recommendation: Airline Road, SPID to Wooldridge Road. Staff recommends increasing the cross section designation from an A -1 cross section to an A -3 cross section for Airline Road, between SPID and Wooldridge Road. The reasons for the amendment are summarized below: Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 17 February 23, 2010 1. The existing A -2 designation is not of sufficient capacity to handle the existing or future trips. 2. Two additional travel lanes will improve capacity and traffic flow. 3. A median will improve capacity and traffic flow. 6. Staples Street, from Saratoga Boulevard to Oso Creek Staples Street between Saratoga Boulevard and the Oso Creek is designated an A -2, Arterial with four lanes and a median. Currently, the roadway is improved with four lanes and a center left -turn lane. (See Exhibits 4 and 5) Installation of medians on Staples Street from Saratoga to the Oso Creek is funded as part of the American Recovery Reinvestment Act of 2009. According to the Metropolitan (MPO) Planning Organization and TxDOT, construction may start as early as 2010. In 2006, the MPO commissioned an access management study of several southside corridors. The study concluded that existing traffic levels on Staples Street south of Saratoga are over 20,000 trips per day and that projected trips per day for 2030 could be at least 30,000 trips per day. Staff has also estimated future traffic levels based on full development of existing vacant commercially zoned properties along Staples Street. At full development, an increase of an additional 35,000 to 40,000 trips per day is likely. After discussion with TxDOT, Staff is recommending that this portion of Staples be upgraded to an A -3, six lane designation. The A3 designation is with the understanding that a design should be studied to determine the feasibility of obtaining at least an additional 15 feet of right -of- way to implement a six -lane improvement. A modified A3 design would be needed since there is not enough space between development to allow a full A3, 130 -foot right - of -way design. Staff and TxDOT believe that a minimum of 115 feet of right -of -way would allow for a six (6) -lane design. However, a design with 115 feet of right -of -way would reduce the area behind the back -of -curb from 17.5 feet to 10 feet on each side.

NA NA Staff Recommendation: Staples Street, from Saratoga Boulevard to Oso Creek. Staff recommends increasing the cross section designation from an A -2 cross section to an A -3 cross section for Staples Street, south of Saratoga Boulevard to Oso Creek. The reasons for the amendment are summarized below: 1. Projection of future traffic suggests that an A -2 cross section with four travel lanes is not sufficient to meet future traffic needs. 2. A modified A -3 cross section appears feasible with the acquisition of 15 feet of right - of -way along platted and unplatted portions of the roadway. 7. Navigation Boulevard - between I.H.- 37 and Old Brownsville Road Navigation Boulevard between IH -37 and Old Brownsville Road is designated an A -3 Arterial. Navigation Boulevard was designated with the high volume A -3 cross section since the roadway provided a crossing to the north side of the ship channel via the Tule Lift Bridge. The Bridge was closed to vehicular traffic in 2006, and was demolished in 2008. The opening of the Joe Fulton Corridor provided an alternate route for train traffic to the north side of the ship channel area. Existing and projected traffic volumes do not warrant a six -lane arterial road section. Existing traffic counts on Navigation Boulevard from 2000 to 2006 range from a high of 5,000 trips per day to 2,800 trips per day. MPO projection of traffic on Navigation Road between IH -37 and Old Brownsville Road are 20,000 trips per day or less.

Staff recommends reducing the planned street designation from an A -3 Arterial to an A -1 Arterial. The reasons for the amendment to Navigation Boulevard (between IH -37 and Old Brownsville Road) are summarized below: 1. Projection of future traffic suggests that an A -1 cross section with four travel lanes is adequate to meet future traffic needs. 2. The Tule Lift Bridge has been removed and therefore, an increase in traffic is not expected. 3. An A -1 Arterial is recommended with a continuous left -turn lane instead of a median since the continuous left-turn lane allows a longer queue distance for truck stacking /left turn movements. 8. Compton Road Extension - west of Flour Bluff Drive Over the last several years Staff has received several inquiries concerning the feasibility of extending Compton Road westward of Flour Bluff Drive with a future connection to the east bound SPID Frontage Road. (See Exhibit 6) Concerns have been expressed that the Compton Road extension will not be needed and that its connection as shown on the plan is too close to an SPID off ramp. The purpose of the extension is to provide relief to the intersection of Flour Bluff Drive and the SPID frontage road. High intensity future land uses are planned at the intersection, and the collector street would provide an alternate route when the frontage road becomes congested. Current traffic levels are low and while congestion is generally not present, the potential for future congestion exists. Similar, developed areas of the city at approaches to SPID are congested with most streets operating below the desired citywide Level of Service C. Some of these intersections include SPID at Weber, Everhart, Staples, and Airline Road. McArdle Road and Williams Drive, where there is a connection behind the commercial areas at the frontage road, provide a relief route. Extending Compton Road would also provide a future relief route to congested areas along the freeway. A WalMart Supercenter is planned to be constructed over the next five years at the intersection of Flour Bluff Drive and SPID. Location of the Supercenter will generate an increased number of trips and an incentive for redevelopment of commercial properties along the frontage road. The intersection of Compton Road as shown on the Transportation Plan near the SPID off -ramp has been determined by TxDOT to be too close to the off -ramp. A 400 to 500 foot connection eastward would meet TxDOT safety standards. Relocation would require the City to purchase a portion of the land for the connection of Compton Drive to Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 20 February 23, 2010 the SPID Frontage Road. All available connection points are platted lots and many have existing buildings. Therefore, a revision to the Transportation Plan would be with the understanding that the City would have to dedicate funds to purchase a portion of the Compton right -of -way. Note: the Metropolitan Planning Organization supports maintaining a Compton Road connection to the Freeway Frontage on the Urban Transportation Plan. Staff Recommendation: Compton Road Extension, west of Flour Bluff Drive. Staff recommends deletion of a portion of Compton Road Extension so that Compton will intersect with SPID at a location consistent with TxDOT spacing requirements. Exhibit 6 illustrates the proposed modified extension of Compton Road. 9. Airline Road / Rodd Field Road Intersection - Create a 90 degree intersection at Rodd Field Road. The current intersection at Tess than a 90 degree angle of Airline Road with Rodd Field Road creates a potentially unsafe intersection. When properties surrounding these two Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 21 February 23, 2010 streets are platted the intersection should be reconfigured so that a standard four -way intersection is created. Figure 2 illustrates how Airline Road would curve into Rodd Field Road. Staff Recommendation: Revise the Future Transportation Plan map to show Airline Road / Rodd Field Road with a 90 degree intersection. Creating a standard four -way intersection where three roads come together, creating a safer intersection than allowing each road to intersect at a less than 90 degree angle. 10. Williams Drive extension, east of Rodd Field Road - Modify the alignment to minimize the bridge crossings over the Williams Drainage Ditch. For the terminus segment of Williams Drive between Ennis Joslin and Paul Jones, change the cross section type from a Primary C -3 Collector to a Secondary C -2 Collector. Over the last several years there have been several requests by property owner representatives concerned with the alignment of Williams Drive east of Rodd Field Road. The concerns that have been raised are that Williams Drive may not be needed and that the crossing of the large drainage outfall at the approach to Lexington Boulevard / Ennis Joslin extension could be difficult and costly. The Future Adopted Land Use Plan assigns commercial uses for the properties fronting along SPID, and some apartment uses at the intersection of Williams Drive and Rodd Field Road. (See Exhibit 7) The extension of Williams Drive parallel with SPID is needed to provide relief for the existing congestion on SPID Frontage Roads. Each side of SPID, where full development has occurred, access to Williams Drive, Corona Drive, Tiger Lane, or McArdle Road provides a critical outlet when congestion occurs. Extending Williams Drive and curving the road parallel to the drainage ditch to intersect back to the frontage road, or intersecting with the extension of Ennis Joslin Road are both options that have been suggested. Each of these options is a less ideal alignment for addressing congestion than the existing plan showing a parallel alignment with Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 22 February 23, 2010 SPID. Curving Williams Drive to the frontage road would eliminate the primary benefit which allows traffic congestion to escape to another street rather than simply funneling the additional traffic back to the frontage road. Also, an alignment that parallels but does not cross the ditch creates a major intersection with Ennis Joslin that is too dose (600 feet / 0.11 miles) to the frontage road. The Texas Transportation Institute recommends a spacing of major intersections of at least % to 1/2 mile apart. Reducing the Williams Drive cross section from a C -3 Collector with four lanes to a C -2 cross section with three lanes is recommended since Williams Drive will terminated at Paul Jones Drive. Williams Drive between Ennis Joslin and Paul Jones will provide more of a standard connective function rather than as a relief route from congestion on the freeway frontage road. A reduction to a three lane street is acceptable since the proposed residential land uses and public uses will generate less traffic then high density commercial uses. Staff Recommendation: Maintain the current plan to extend Williams Drive parallel with SPID east of Rodd Field Road to Lexington Boulevard. Note: depending on capacity needs and functionality, the illustrated alignment of Williams Drive between Rodd Field Road and Lexington Boulevard may be modified by a city / developer agreement based on a master plan. Illustrate the future extension of Williams Drive east of Lexington to start at a point that is south of the Williams Drive drainage outfall. This alignment change will eliminate a bridge crossing over the Williams Drive drainage outfall. This section of Williams Drive between Ennis Joslin and Paul Jones Drive is for neighborhood connectivity and is recommended to be changed from a C -3 Primary Collector to a C -2 Secondary Collector between Ennis Joslin extended and Paul Jones Drive. 11. Collector Street System South of Oso Creek, Use a '/Z mile grid pattern of arterial and collector streets south of Oso Creek to assure connectivity. (See Exhibit 8) A grid system that is smaller than the one mile grid system is supported by the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI). A smaller arterial grid than the traditional one mile by one mile grid will be necessary in the future due to the exponential increase in vehicle miles driven by U.S. drivers. (See Attachment E. Vehicle Miles Traveled vs Population Growth) To address this changing condition, for the future growth area south of Oso Creek the staff is recommending a one half mile grid system composed of arterials and collectors as illustrated on the Map below. This new grid pattern will increase connectivity and transportation choices and help address congestion in the future. Returning to the grid system is also a major theme of Smart Growth advocates. The "grid" provides direct connections, multiple route and high connectivity. The Curvilinear networks offer less connectivity and less route choices.

HIGH - CONNECTIVITY NETWORK LOW-CONNECTIVITY NETWORK Source: Handy, Paterson, and Butler 2003. Source: Handy. Paterson and Buller 2003. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 24 February 23, 2010 Staff Recommendation: Revise the curvilinear collector system proposed for the area south of Oso Creek to a collector grid. This recommendation is based on the following: 1. A grid system provides greater connectivity than a curvilinear design. 2. A grid system provides more transportation route choices than a curvilinear design. 3. Nationally, vehicular miles driven have increased at a exponential rate relative to linear increases in area population. This means that a grid system is needed to handle increasing traffic volumes. 12. Weber Road, from Saratoga Boulevard to Oso Creek Weber Road between Saratoga Boulevard and the Oso Creek is designated an A -2, Secondary Arterial with four lanes and a median. Currently, the roadway is improved with four lanes and a center left turn lane. Designation to an A -3 Primary Arterial would allow for adding two additional traffic lanes in the future. Weber Road is already designated an A -3 cross section south of Oso Creek and this change would make the cross sections consistent. In addition, Weber Road is strategically located at one of the two Oso Creek Crossing points in the Southside Area. Given its strategic location as an Oso Creek Crossing, upgrading the designation to an A -3 Primary Arterial is warranted. The existing right -of -way along Weber Road is 100 feet. While some properties have already been platted, there are a number of large tracts which remain undeveloped and unplatted. Where development has already occurred, a modified cross section with 115 feet of right -of -way may allow for the full six travel lanes. Before this future improvement can be made an engineering feasibility study and cost estimate should be completed. This recommendation was suggested by the Metropolitan Planning Organization Technical Advisory Committee. Staff Recommendation: Designate Weber Road as an A -3 cross section south of Saratoga Boulevard. 13. Add Intersection Widening Graphics to the Transportation Plan. Intersection widening is a key improvement that must be made when development occurs at the intersection of collector / arterial streets or at arterial / arterial streets. Intersection widening is also needed at the intersection of freeway frontage roads. Intersection widening allows for the installation of left -turn and right -turn lanes. The proposed intersection widening standard for arterials is consistent with the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) standards. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 25 February 23, 2010 This recommendation was suggested by the Metropolitan Planning Organization. Staff Recommendation: Incorporate Exhibit 9: Intersection Widening into the Transportation Plan map. 14. Planned Capacity of Transportation Plan Streets. The planned capacity of arterial and collector streets was reviewed and the changes are based on street capacity standards of other cities, primarily Austin and Fort Worth, Texas. In addition, the Metropolitan Planning Organization Access Management Study was also used as a source for the changes. The most notable changes in planned capacity are between the capacities of the A -2 Secondary Arterial of 26,500 trips per day proposed to change to 32,000 trips per day and the A -3 Primary Arterial of 36,000 trips per day proposed to change to 48,000 trips per day. The divided arterial streets contain an average of 8,000 trips per day per traffic lane. Staff Recommendation: The proposed changes are contained in Exhibit 10 which show the capacity of an A -2 increased from 26,500 adt (average daily trips) to 32,000 adt and the A -3 increased from 36,000 adt to 48,000 adt. This change was suggested by the Metropolitan Planning Organization Technical Advisory Committee. 15. Nile Drive - per the planned off campus Expansion of Texas A & M Corpus Christi In 2008, the City of Corpus Christi entered into an agreement with Texas A & M University to expand their campus on the City -owned little league fields between Nile Drive and Ennis Joslin Boulevard. Once the Little League Baseball Fields are relocated, the agreement and plan for the area would involve the closure of the portion of Nile Drive next to the athletic fields. To reflect this agreement Nile Drive has been removed as a collector street next to the Little League Baseball Fields, and Pharaoh Drive is shown as a collector between Nile Drive and Ennis Joslin Boulevard. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 26 February 23, 2010 No improvements are needed to Pharaoh Drive as the street is has a 60 -foot right -of- way and is constructed to a collector street standard. Staff Recommendation - Delete a portion of Nile Drive as a collector and added Pharaoh Drive as a collector street. 16. South Loop Corridor — Replace the South Loop Corridor with a conceptual inset map. The MPO and TxDOT have suggested that since the alignment of the South Loop Corridor is conceptual that a conceptual map inset would be more appropriate that showing specific alignment. The inset map would also be consistent with the MPO's Metropolitan Transportation Plan. 17. Deletion of the Tule Lift Bridge Ship Channel Crossing on Navigation Blvd. — Tule Lift bridge has been removed therefore the crossing should also be removed. Staff has discussed the plan amendments with the Port of Corpus Christi Staff which recommended removal of the ship crossing at Navigation Blvd. Maintaining the Navigation road segments up to the ship channel may be maintained on the plan to indicate the need for shoreline land access (but will not show a crossing of the Ship Channel). Staff Recommendation: Remove the crossing of the ship channel by Navigation Blvd. 18. Mustang Island Beach Access Collector — Change a proposed Beach Access Way on Mustang Island to a C -1 Collector Street. Currently the City owns an 80 wide strip of right-of-way between Sunrise Shores Subdivision and Admirals Row Condominums. This right -of -way is approximately 1.2 miles north of Beach Access Road 2. Providing the collector will help to improve emergency response time to remote portions of the gulf beach. The standard collector spacing of to 1/2 miles apart is not used on Mustang Island in order to minimize cuts through the dune system. The dunes on Mustang Island help to protect the area from hurricane storm surge. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 27 February 23, 2010 Staff Recommendation: Designate the City owned property 1.2 miles north of Beach Access Road 2 a C -1 Collector Street. 19. High Speed Water Taxi — Show a conceptual route for a high speed water taxi intended to Zink Corpus Christi Bay area and the former Naval Station Ingleside. The Bay Area Smart Growth Initiative (BASGI) has suggested that a water taxi route system concept should be included in the Transportation Plan. The key point of the BASGI on a high speed water taxi (which is different from pass proposals), is that a water taxi would have to be a small boat and not the large passenger craft that previous high speed water taxi proposals envisioned. At a minimum, water linkages would connect with the Corpus Christi downtown area, the City of Ingleside, the City of Port Aransas, and NAS Corpus Christi/Texas A & M Corpus Christi. Other important links would include North Padre Island, North Beach, and the City of Portland. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 28 February 23, 2010 20. Light Rail Concept map — The Smart Growth Group has suggested that the City include a concept map for potential light rail corridors. A light rail system that contributes to higher density and livable community principles may have merit when major arterial improvements or freeway improvements are considered. The concept, to be illustrated only as a potential alternative to major roadway projects, is proposed as an inset map on the Transportation Plan. A picture of a Los Angeles interchange is offered as an example of the "standard practice" of building larger roadways to cope with larger amounts of traffic. The City needs to consider alternatives in responding to issues of increased traffic congestion rather than only considering building more and larger road systems. ngeles, California Toircudthutot Nueces say a.ns to[t itI Gulf [exit an O dented Deg Potential l Lijtbt R i Lcstes Potential Water Taxi'E.inas- tesiak Bus Routes a4ial.

(Clockwise from the upper left, Tampa, Florida; Kenosha, Wisconsin; Little Rock, Arkansas; Seattle, Washington) The following policy statement is proposed to be added to the plan: The City will encourage TxDOT and the Regional Transit Authority to pursue evaluation of mass transit rail service as a long term option for reducing congestion, providing enhanced mobility, promoting attractive sustainable neighborhoods, and as a means to encourage redevelopment. By adoption of this policy, the City will encourage the Regional Transit Authority to conduct a feasibility study to determine the type of rail service (light rail, trolley service, etc.) that, in the long term, could be beneficial and cost effective to the city. Any feasibility study should include a conceptual routing plan, route phasing plan, and projection of potential economic development impacts. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Page 30 February 23, 2010 21. Adopt a policy for creation of a Complete Streets Program — Complete Streets Programs have been adopted around the country to recognize the need to take all users of streets into account when new streets are built or existing streets are rebuilt. "All users" means that not only are streets designed for motor vehicles but also for pedestrians, the disabled, users of mass transit and bicyclists. A small but meaningful start to such a program is to identify a vision for Corpus Christi streets in the Urban Transportation Plan. The following policy is proposed for inclusion in the plan. Vision: Corpus Christi's streets will continue to be safe for all to travel, even our most vulnerable citizens — children, older adults, and those with disabilities, and our streets will promote health through physical activity and active transportation. A primary goal to start the program will be to continue and reinforce the City's commitment to take all users into account when designing street improvements. During the next three years the city will embrace the vision for the City's streets by creation of design guidelines for construction of new streets and reconstruction of existing streets. An important source document that can be used by the city during its review of design for street projects is the International Institute of Traffic Engineers manual: "A Proposed Recommended Practice: Context Sensitive Solutions in Designing Major Urban Thoroughfares for Walkable Communities ". 22. Policy Statement on achieving street capacity on designated arterial or collector Streets — Typically, designation on the Transportation Plan for a specific future right -of -way means that additional right -of -way may be required as part of the platting process or a capital improvement process. However, where additional right -of- way is not feasible due to existing development, the City will seek other means to increase street capacity. Other means to achieve the planned street capacity may include traffic system enhancements such as improving access to relief routes, nearby street improvements, access management, traffic signal synchronization, or some other improvements that will increase capacity. The following policy statement proposed to be added to the plan: Alternatives to street right -of -way widening to achieve the planned street capacity should be considered when widening is not feasible. Such alternatives may include, but are not limited to, improvement to nearby streets to create relief routes, access management, and traffic signal synchronization or "smart signals ".

CALL TO ORDER AMENDED MINUTES REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Council Chambers- City Hall Wednesday, January 20, 2010 5:30 P.M. Attachment 3 Planning Commission Minutes (January 20, 2010) STAFF: Johnny Perales, P.E., Assistant City Manager, Engineering and Development Services Faryce Goode Macon, Assistant Director of Development Services /Planning Miguel S. Saldana, AICP, Senior City Planner Robert Payne, AICP, City Planner Lisa Wargo, Senior City Planner Deborah Brown, Legal Counsel Debbie Goldston, Recording Secretary A quorum was declared and the meeting was called to order at 5:30 p.m. Commissioner Govind Nadkarni was absent. II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion for approval of the minutes from the January 6, 2010, regular Planning Commission meeting was made by Commissioner Tamez and seconded by Commissioner Taylor. Motion passed unanimously. III. PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEMS C. FUTURE LAND USE AND URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANS Robert Payne, Senior City Planner, gave a Power Point presentation regarding the Future Land Use and Urban Transportation Plans. Mr. Payne stated that the updating process for the Urban Transportation Plan began in June. Meetings were held with the Metropolitan Planning Organizations Technical Advisory Committee, TxDot, Nueces County, and San Patricio County. A number of comments were received from the committee members. Two meeting were held with the City Transportation Advisory Committee and comments were received from them. A Smart Growth workshop was held and several meetings were held with the Corpus Christi Bay Area Smart Growth Initiative. There was a meeting with the Corpus Christi Builders Association a few weeks ago and several comments were received from them and the Port of Christi staff. A month ago, approximately 1000 notices were sent out to various groups regarding this issue and phone calls were received from those groups. If the Planning Commission votes to approve the proposed plan, the next step would be for the plan to be presented to the City Council on February 9, 2010. The first reading and public hearing of this plan would be on February 23, 2010 and the second reading and adoption of the ordinance would be on March 9, 2010. Mr. Payne explained that the Transportation Plan will be used to build a transportation network to accommodate the adopted Future Land Use Plan. Also, it will be used to guide capital improvement decisions. Lastly, the plan is a guide for development decisions especially pertaining to the amount of right -of -way to be dedicated during the platting process. Mr. Payne explained the three arterial types. The first is the largest arterial type Corpus Christi has which is called the "A3 Primary Arterial" with six (6) lanes and a median with 130 feet of right -of -way. The second type of arterial is the "A2 Secondary Arterial" with four (4) lanes and a median with 100 feet of right -of -way. However, the most typical arterial in Corpus Christi is the "Al Minor Arterial" with four (4) lanes and a continuous turn lane having 95 feet of right -of -way. At this point in the presentation, Vice Chairman Huerta asked about how this plan will affect the bikeways. Mr. Payne said that the 130 foot or 95 foot right -of -way could be expanded. Mr. Payne said that a bikeway committee was very recently formed and that the committee will present recommendations in the near future. Commissioner Skrobarczyk had a question regarding the differentiation of the arterial streets. He asked for clarification as to which type of arterial street would accommodate the bike lane. Mr. Payne said that on shared vehicle - bicycle streets, there must be 14 feet of space between the lip of the gutter pan and the stripe for the lane and each of the arterials have enough right -of -way to accommodate bikeways. The next item of the presentation was in regards to Airline Road. On Airline Road from SPID to Wooldridge Road, the recommendation is to increase the planned street classification from an "A -1" Minor Arterial to an "A -3" Primary Arterial. Airline Road is currently operating at a level of service F. This road is operating very poorly at operating level F which is the worst level of service. Upgrading to an "A3" Primary Arterial road includes a median and two more lanes which will protect four through -lanes of traffic from right turning movements. Mr. Payne also explained where obtaining additional right -of -way is not feasible, Transportation Planners should look for other ways to increase capacity, i.e. smart signals, intersection widening, etc. Staples Street is currently an "A2 "Arterial and the recommendation is upgrading Staples Street to an "A3" Arterial. On Staples Street from Saratoga to Oso Creek, the recommendation is to expand from an "A2" with 100 foot right- H:\PLN- DIR \SHARED\2. Comprehensive Planning \1. Master Plans \Transportation\2010 \City Council\2 -23 -2010 Transportation Plan and Future Land Use Plan Action and Agenda Memo.doc of -way with four lanes and a median up to the "A3 ". That upgrade would provide 130 feet of right -of -way with six lanes and a median. This proposed change envisions a modified "A3" with six lanes in a narrow right -of -way due to existing development. The next street to be discussed was Navigation Boulevard. Staff recommends reducing the planned street designation from an "A3" Arterial to an "Al" Arterial based on the projection of future traffic. The Tule Lift Bridge has been removed and a continuous left turn lane allows a larger queue for truck stacking and left turn movements. The current location of Compton Road west of Flour Bluff Drive is in conflict with TxDOT safety standards. The MPO supported maintaining at least a conceptual connection to SPID east of the present location shown on the plan. The next item to be discussed was the explanation of the Williams Drive extension, east of Rodd Field Road. The recommendation is to realign and change from a C3 4 lane collector to a C2 3 lane collector. The next slide of the presentation was regarding Weber Road South of Saratoga Boulevard to Oso Creek. That recommendation is to change from an A2 Secondary Arterial with 100 feet of right -of -way and four (4) lanes to an A3 Primary Arterial with 130 feet of right -of -way and six (6) lanes. Mr. Payne then pointed out the planned capacity of the Transportation Plan Streets. The MPO suggested staff review the planned capacity (average daily trips) of the arterial streets. Using Austin, Texas and Ft. Worth, Texas as models the following is recommended: 1) The Al Arterial, four (4) lanes with continuous left lane turn - 24,000 trips per day and no change is recommended. 2) The A2 Arterial, four (4) lanes with median has currently designated with 26,500 average daily trips and the proposed average daily trips is 32,000. 3) The A3 Arterial is six (6) lanes with median currently has 36,000 average daily trips and is recommended for 48,000 average daily trips. The following slide illustrated Nile Drive /Pharaoh Drive. The proposed changes were per the planned off campus expansion of Texas A & M University Corpus Christi. The South Loop Corridor is a future freeway and the recommendation is to replace the South Loop Corridor with a conceptual south loop inset map. The next recommendation was the deletion of the Tule Lift Bridge Ship Channel Crossing on Navigation Boulevard. The Port of Corpus Christi suggested that the City remove the crossing since the bridge has been removed. There is no expectation that there will be a future crossing at this location. H:\PLN- DIR \SHARED\2. Comprehensive Planning \1. Master Plans \Transportation\2010 \City Council\2 -23 -2010 Transportation Plan and Future Land Use Plan Action and Agenda Memo.doc The next item proposed changing a pedestrian beach accessway on Mustang Island to a C -1 Collector. The recommendations were to change a pedestrian Beach Access on the Current Plan to a C -1 Collector at an existing 80 foot right -of -way located 3.1 miles north of the State Park next to the Porto Villageo Subdivision. As far as a consideration for the future, the High Speed Water Taxi and Light Rail concepts were explained by Mr. Payne. The high speed water taxi concepts were smaller water craft than past proposals, tourist links, and Economic Development Links, i. e., Texas A & M Corpus Christi, Naval Air Station, Ingleside, Portland, Port Aransas. With the Light Rail Concept, the Smart Growth group has suggested that the City consider a Light Rail Concept whenever large regional transportation corridor projects like the South Loop are considered. The 2007 National Survey suggested that 75% said that improved public transportation and building communities that don't require as much driving are better long term solutions for reducing traffic than building new roads. Another suggestion was to include a Light Rail Concept Map on the Transportation Plan to be considered as an alternative to major regional transportation projects. There is also a recommendation to adopt a policy for the creation of a complete Streets Program. "Complete Streets" programs have the goal of recognizing the need of all users of city streets, not just motor vehicles, when designing or improving streets. The Proposed Vision Statement is "Corpus Christi's streets will continue to be safe for all to travel, even our most vulnerable citizens, children, older adults and those with disabilities and, our streets will promote health through physical activity and active transportation." Mr. Payne explained that the Policy Statement on Achieving Street Capacity includes a policy statement indicating adding right -of -way to achieve more traffic volume is only one of several potential ways to increase street capacity. Other methods to increase capacity may include: alternative street designs, i.e., tied to curb sidewalks, narrower lanes, etc., intersection improvements, and access management. The next topic of the presentation was Street Widening for Bikeway Improvements. The Transportation Advisory Committee recommended adding language to the plan stating that street widening maybe required for streets designated on the City's Bikeway Plan. Regarding the Future Land Use Plan, changes of future land uses from Low and Medium Density Residential to Commercial. The Smart Growth goals were explained to be: 1. Mix land uses. 2. Take advantage of compact building design. 3. Create a range of housing opportunities and choices. H: \PLN- DIR \SHARED\2. Comprehensive Planning \1. Master Plans \Transportation\2010 \City Council\2 -23 -2010 Transportation Plan and Future Land Use Plan Action and Agenda Memo.doc 4. Create walkable neighborhoods. 5. Foster distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place 6. Preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty, and critical environmental areas. 7. Strengthen and direct development toward existing communities. 8. Provide a variety of transportation choices. 9. Make development decisions predictable, fair and cost effective. 10. Encourage community and stakeholder collaboration in development decisions. The 2009 Urban Transportation and Future Land Use Plan Amendments in the area of Ennis Joslin Road were then discussed. From SPID to Wooldridge showed the existing Ennis Joslin Road has 130 ft. right -of -way, six (6) lanes, and divided. The proposed plan is from SPID to Holly Road there is no change needed. It was proposed to maintain the existing 130 ft. of the A3 cross section and obtain 130 ft. of right -of -way. The initial construction could be only two or four lanes. Ultimately, six lanes will protect the through movement of the inside four (4) through lanes. From Holly Road to Wooldridge Road, reduce cross section from an A3, 130 foot cross section to an A2, 100 foot cross section. On Holly Road, the existing plan is 130 foot right -of -way with six (6) lanes divided. The proposed plan is to maintain A3 Primary Arterial to provide connectivity and increase capacity near the freeway. Lastly was Wooldridge Road, with the Planned A -3 Arterial, 130 ft. right -of -way and six (6) lanes divided is proposed to be reduced to an A -2 with 100 feet of right -of -way and four (4) lanes. Commissioner Tamez asked how this proposed plan will affect businesses. Mr. Payne explained, in regard to congestion, national studies have shown if it takes too long for a consumer to get somewhere, they will often not attempt the trip at all. Also, if the only option is to take a left turn and the wait is too great, the consumer will just continue to drive straight ahead instead. The better access that can be provided is better to maintain the business. Mrs. Faryce Goode Macon said that is correct and that it is always the advantage to the business to be on the right side of the traffic. The presentation was concluded and Chairman Garza opened the public hearing. 1. David Loeb, 3100 Santa Fe, Apartment 43A, Corpus Christi, Texas. Mr. Loeb stated that he felt the community should start to consider the light rail system for the future. Some of the roads, especially on the south side will not be able to be widened and we should consider light rail as an option. He said that in the future 66,000 trips daily on Everhart would be unmanageable, and people would no longer want to travel there. Mr. Loeb also said that not immediately, but within twenty years, we may need to look into the light rail concept. H:\PLN- DIR \SHARED\2. Comprehensive Planning \I. Master Plans \Transportation\2010 \City Council\2 -23 -2010 Transportation Plan and Future Land Use Plan Action and Agenda Memo.doc 2. Tom Niskala, 5151 Flynn Parkway, Corpus Christi, Texas. Mr. Niskala and his organization supports this plan and commended staff on hard work. He felt it is important to have the water taxi and light rail options for the future as traffic and population will greatly increase by 2030. 3. Bill Green, Port of Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi, Texas. Mr. Green complimented staff on hard work for the recommendations presented. 4. Judy Telge, 316 Palmero, Corpus Christi, Texas. Mrs. Talge also supports these recommendations. She said she has never seen anything as far reaching and visionary as this presentation. She appreciates the great job staff has done in the plan amendments. . 5. Bill Brown, 5830 McArdle, Corpus Christi, Texas. Mr. Brown asked how this plan is going to affect land owners, business owners, and developers. He feels that this plan was put together too quickly and without proper notification to the community. Mr. Brown objected to a hasty approach to put this proposal to the City Council to adopt this plan. He supported most of the proposals put forth, but said that most people are unaware of the affects this plan would have on most businesses. He stated that more study and input is necessary, in his opinion. There were no others to speak in the public hearing therefore Chairman Garza closed the public hearing. Commissioner Skrobarczyk stated that he objects to the Smart Growth Principles presented in the plan. He said Corpus Christi was designed with the car in mind and not pedestrian travel. He also inquired if developers would receive a Smart Growth Rating and if that rating hinder the developers to begin their development projects. Mrs. Goode Macon explained that Smart Growth is a directive received by staff from past Commissions and staff is continuing that directive. Chairman Garza further explained that how he understands it is that we are encouraging developers to use a grid system, but the plan is not a rule of law. Commissioner Tamez suggested tabling the vote on this case until a future meeting thinking that the action would give business community more of an opportunity to get more information. Chairman Garza stated that anyone in the business community that has not received the information presented in tonight's meeting will have the opportunity to go before the City Council and express their opinion during the City Council public hearing. Commissioner Martinez had a comment to make which was he feels the City is growing quickly and that it is so difficult to get around town due to so many accidents. Commissioner Martinez stated that the safety of the citizens is the most important thing to consider. H: \PLN- DIR \SHARED\2. Comprehensive Planning \l. Master Plans \Transportation\2010 \City Council\2 -23 -2010 Transportation Plan and Future Land Use Plan Action and Agenda Memo.doc Commissioner Tamez made the motion to table the approval of the Transportation Plan to a future date with Commissioner Skrobarczyk seconding that motion. The motion failed. Commissioner Skrobarczyk stated that if the Commissioners were not to table the vote on the presentation at today's meeting, he would like to make a recommendation concerning the issue of the right -of -way plan. He would consider approving the right -of -way plan dependent on separating the water taxi and light rail proposals from this plan and making it an overlay like the South Loop. Commissioner Skrobarczyk asked if the Commissioners could approve the right -of -way plan and not include in that plan the water taxi and light rail ideas, however, those are good ideas for the future. He suggested we make those portions separate from the proposed right -of -way plan. Commissioner Skrobarczyk would also like to keep separate the Smart Growth portion as well as a nice idea to work towards, but not a part of the right -of -way plan. Mr. Payne stated that the plan is not absolutely definitive except for the changes outlined in the Transportation map right -of -way. Chairman Garza stated that there was a motion and second to table this issue. He then asked for a roll call. At this time, Chairman Garza asked for a vote on tabling the issue. He called for a roll call. Commissioner Taylor — nay, Commissioner Kelly - nay, Commissioner Tamez - aye, Commissioner Skrobarczyk - aye, Chairman Garza - nay, Vice - Chairman Huerta - nay, Commissioner Martinez - nay, Commissioner Nadkarni — absent, Commissioner Adame — absent from the vote. Chairman Garza stated that the motion fails. At this time, Commissioner Skrobarczyk made a motion to approve the right -of -way plan and not approve the Smart Growth portion of the presentation, but to approve the overlay portion with the light rail, the south loop with the link to SPID, and the water taxi. Commissioner Martinez seconded the motion. Commissioner Skrobarczyk asked that a designation be made about the proposed South Loop. The proposed South Loop could draw a lot of traffic away from the major arterials in place at the present time. Chairman Garza agreed that this is a good idea and should be included in the proposed plan. Mr. Payne said he would like to have a dialogue with the MPO. He stated that the input of MPO staff is very important regarding this issue. Commissioner Garza asked that a vote on re- opening the public hearing be made so Mr. Tom Niskala of the MPO be allowed to speak on this issue. The vote was unanimous to allow Mr. Niskala to speak. Mr. Niskala stated that it would be correct to, in the next few following months, make the decision to allow a private public partnership to make the idea of the South Loop a reality much sooner than he had ever imagined it could be. If that does happen, then TxDot could accelerate some of the environmental work H: \PLN- DIR \SHARED\2. Comprehensive Planning \1. Master Plans \Transportation\2010 \City Council\2 -23 -2010 Transportation Plan and Future Land Use Plan Action and Agenda Memo.doc and other work that is going on for the whole South Side mobility corridor. A developer may then want to look at this as sections of independent utility. They would then build those sections that would create the greatest traffic first such as Rodd Field over to State Highway 286. It would come further south and west and accomplish some of the things that were just discussed. Former Commissioner David Loeb had some comments. He wanted to address the score sheet which was created by City Council in which staff was asked to create that. Staff and Smart Growth group wrote a score sheet based on what was suitable for Corpus Christi. Dependent on the score the developer received, he /she could use that score for marketing. Smart Growth considers their group to be an enabling entity for developers to do new things such as provide commercial uses near residential. It is not the purpose of Smart Growth for the points received to be a decision - making tool for zoning. Feedback from the business community is that they do not want street construction going on in front of their business due to construction hinders the business. Commercial developers like Smart Growth principles at a mid to moderate level. The interior development people love it. Home builders are between okay to expressing hostility. Mr. Loeb stated it is a good idea to build high density developments around the light rail and have lower density go out from that. Mr. Loeb stated that his group is not about telling developers what they are not allowed to do, but offering developers an option to another way. Commissioner Garza closed the public hearing and stated that there is a motion on the floor to recommend adoption of the transportation plan with omissions of Smart Growth principles and a recommendation to push further study of the South Loop as a possible option and light rail and water taxi as options to explore further in the future. Deborah Brown, Legal Counsel, asked Commissioner Skrobarczyk to restate his motion in its entirety. Commissioner Skrobarczyk amended his motion to recommend approval of the Transportation Plan amendments and include three inset concept maps on the plan. The concept maps were for the South Loop, water taxi routes and a conceptual light -rail route. Included in the motion was approval of the two future land use Plan amendments, but not including the text amendments on Smart Growth. Commissioner Skrobarczyk also included in the motion a request to staff for an accelerated study of an additional freeway or high capacity arterial connector from SPID to the South Loop. A location east of the Crosstown Expressway was suggested, i.e. Rodd Field Road or some other location. H: \PLN- DIR\SHARED\2. Comprehensive Planning \1.

During the next three years the city will embrace the vision for the City's streets by creation of design guidelines for construction of new streets and reconstruction of existing streets. An important source document that can be used by the city during its review of design for street projects is the International Institute of Traffic Engineers manual: "A Proposed Recommended Practice: Context Sensitive Solutions in Designing Major Urban Thoroughfares for Walkable Communities ". 22.

Ordinance On May 19, 2009, the City Council passed Resolution No. 028176 reaffirming certain financial policies which provide for maintenance of the General Fund Balance at an adequate level. The Resolution states it is the goal of the City Council to build and maintain a reserve in the General Fund unreserved fund balance which totals at least ten (10 %) of the total annual General Fund appropriations. The Resolution also stated that the undesignated fund balance in excess of the ten percent policy requirement may be recommended for expenditures on one -time improvements, with a priority on infrastructure and equipment, which will reduce the need for future debt. During the FY 2009 -2010 Budget process, staff proposed the following one -time expenditures be taken from the General Fund Unreserved Fund Balance. 3 Firefighting Brush Trucks (refurbished) $180,000 40 replacement police package sedans @ $27,500 each 1,100,000 1 replacement crime scene vans @ $20,000 each 20,000 Total: $1,300,000 The appropriated funds above will pay for 36 police package sedans, one (1) pickup truck, two (2) Tahoes, one (1) transport van and 1 crime scene van for a total amount of $961,198. The remaining funds appropriated, $338,802, will be used to refurbish the firefighting brush trucks ($180,000) and outfit the police vehicles with sirens, light bars, paint decals, rear seat cages and bumpers for $158,802. The award for the refurbishment of the firefighting brush trucks will be presented to Council at a later date (See Funding Schedule Ordinance A ). B.

The project was bid as a Total Base Bid and a Total Alternate Bid as described below: > Base Bid (COMPLETE DEMOLITION): COMPLETE DEMOLITION consists of but is not limited to the removal and proper disposal of foundations, concrete bleachers and seats, walls, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Demolition includes the removal and proper disposal of asbestos - contained hazardous materials at the locations indicated in the asbestos inspection report. The project also includes two- course surface treatment to the existing HMAC parking lot, final backfill, sodding with new irrigation and minor utility adjustments with all work complete and in accordance with the plans, specifications and contract documents. > Alternate Bid (SELECTIVE DEMOLITION): SELECTIVE DEMOLITION consists of the selective demolition of Memorial Coliseum structure with complete asbestos abatement and the demo and removal of all adjacent facilities. The select demolition of the coliseum includes demo /removal of the last two spans of the structure and lamala roof on the western end. The work on the coliseum includes the demolition /removal of the bathrooms, the stage /orchestra pit, concrete bleachers and seats, interior and exterior walls. The project also includes two- course surface treatment to the existing HMAC parking lot, final backfill, sodding with new irrigation and minor utility adjustments with all work complete and in accordance with the plans, specifications and contract documents METHOD OF AWARD: The bids were evaluated based on the following, subject to available funding: 1. Base Bid (Part A + Part B) — Complete Demolition or 2. Alternate Bid — Selective Demolition Bidders could submit a bid individually for the Base Bid or the Alternate Bid, or submit a bid for both the Base Bid and the Alternate Bid. BID INFORMATION: On February 10, 2010 the City received a total of 14 proposals for the Base Bid and four proposals for the Alternate Bid (see Exhibit "C" Bid Tabulation). A breakdown of the two options is outlined on the following pages: EXHIBIT "A" Page 1 of 3 H:1H0ME1Rachelle\GEN\Public Facilities1E10001- Memorial Coliseum DemolitionlAgenda Background- Revised_2.doc ➢ Base Bid (COMPLETE DEMOLITION): The 14 submitted bids ranged from $583,303.00 to $ 1,534,413.88. Each of the three apparent low bidders had minor irregularities with bid extensions and quantities; the corrected bids are shown in Exhibit "C" Bid Tabulation. The estimated cost of demolition for the Base Bid was $1,400,000. If Council elects COMPLETE DEMOLITION, City staff recommends that minor irregularities be waived and the contract for the Base Bid be awarded to A &R Demolition of Del Valle, Texas in the amount of $583,303.00. ➢ Alternate Bid (SELECTIVE DEMOLITION): Only 4 of the 14 bidders submitted bids for the selective demolition. Two of the four bids for the Alternate Bid had major irregularities resulting in unbalanced bids and therefore are rejected in accordance City General Provision B -2 -14. The two remaining bids for the Alternate Bid were $611,000.00 and $813,618.00. If Council elects the Alternate Bid, the recommendation would be for the award to A &R Demolition of Del Valle, Texas in the amount of $611,000.00. Please note that this bid provides ONLY for the partial demolition and does NOT provide for unanticipated repairs to the existing facility /structure, weatherproofing critical structural members with a new roof, or recommended building alterations /modifications for re -use. With the initial selective demolition cost, these additional improvements and repairs are anticipated to be in excess of $2.33 million. Additional discussion is presented in the project background below. CONTRACT TERMS: The project is estimated to require 90 calendar days for the Base Bid or 180 days for the Alternate Bid. Either option will require coordination with Bayfront activities such as Buccaneer Days, 4th of July, Bayfest, etc. PROJECT BACKGROUND: Memorial Coliseum is located on the bayfront in Corpus Christi and was dedicated on September 26, 1954 to 400 men and women who gave their lives in World War II. The dedication was sponsored by the Gold Star Mothers of Texas and was attended by local, state and military officials. The facility was designed by Corpus Christi architect Richard S. Colley and is extremely well- constructed. Its footings are anchored into the original seabed, well below the 1940's fill. The curved roof contains 260 tons of structural steel in a lamella space frame (diamond shape design) with a thin concrete cover. This strong, yet light roof structure allowed for the barrel- shaped 224 -foot unsupported span, which was the world's longest when it was built. Memorial Coliseum has a capacity of more than 5,000 and closed in 2004 with the opening of the American Bank Center Arena. The City of Corpus Christi issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) and considered multiple scenarios for potential reuse of the facility and site. After careful and in -depth consideration, none of the proposals was determined to be economically feasible at this time; therefore, the City Council voted to proceed with demolition of the Memorial Coliseum. The demolition preparations are complete. The City conducted an asbestos inspection and developed a demolition plan and cost estimate. The approach for demolition was presented in two options: H: \HOME \Rachelle\GEN \Public Facilities\E10001- Memorial Coliseum Demolition\Agenda Background- Revised_2.doc EXHIBIT "A" Page 2 of 3 Base Bid (COMPLETE DEMOLITION): This provides for the asbestos abatement with complete demolition and site restoration. The site restoration includes new sod, irrigation system and surface treatment for the existing HMAC parking lot. This work also includes minor utility adjustments to water and wastewater. The construction duration was planned for 90 days and coordinated with the upcoming events along the Bayfront including Buccaneer Days, Independence Day celebrations, etc. Alternate Bid (SELECTIVE DEMOLITION): The selective demolition is limited to only the demolition and structural improvements required by code and regulation to create an "open air" facility. This work DOES NOT include the unanticipated facility /structural repairs, and other ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS presented below such as weatherproofing, new roof and other architectural improvements required to allow occupancy /use of the facility. Additional Requirements for SELECTIVE DEMOLITION: Unanticipated facility /structural repairs and engineering. The unanticipated facility /structural repairs cannot be accurately estimated without specific investigation, invasive testing and engineering analysis. Repairs of key structural members are likely to include things such as the deteriorated cast iron bolts on the roof deck system which cannot be reasonably assessed until the asbestos and roof materials are removed. Other repairs include cracked and spalled concrete cracking that exposes structural steel and rebar. The repairs may be far more extensive if the corrosion and deterioration includes such things as the roof deck and trusses. Reserving at least $250,000 would be recommended until the asbestos abatement and more analysis can be completed. New Roof. The existing roof must be completely replaced after the asbestos abatement is complete. The new roof would easily run between $500,000 and $750,000 depending on the material selections and acceptable life expectancy. If a more elaborate roof system such as copper is selected, the cost could exceed $2,000,000 for the roof alone. Weatherproofing. The encapsulation and protection of exposed steel and frames could be accomplished through lath and plaster for approximately $700,000 to $800,000. Less expensive alternatives such as just painting the surfaces may be feasible, but would create a significant maintenance burden for the City. Other improvements. These improvements would include safety /security lighting, fire sprinklers, restroom facilities, site and facility ADA accessibility, and miscellaneous architectural finishes. Without a better defined use, no estimate was available at this time are anticipated to run between $500,000 to $750,000.

There has been an increase in the utilization of out -of- network and low discount providers for services used by our large claimants, particularly for dialysis cases resulting in unnecessary high costs to the plan. We will work with Humana and the claimants to encourage movement to in- network providers, providing the same services at lower costs. • Plan participants, particularly in the Citicare plan, are using more generic pharmaceuticals; however the utilization has gone up overall in pharmacy by 16% from FY09 to FY10. Unfortunately, the Fire and Public Safety plans do not encourage the use of generics. In an effort to reduce pharmacy costs, we are going to increase the promotion of the cost savings benefits to participants and the plan, of using generic drugs in lieu of more expensive brand name products. Stop Loss Activity There is currently one stop loss case; a participant who has had claims costs exceeding $150,000 in the plan year. The stop loss carrier, Humana, will be responsible for remaining claims costs which would have been the City's responsibility. Expenses that are paid in excess of the $150,000 cap are reimbursed to the City. Those reimbursements have not been deducted from the above claims expense data. We have received a total of $383,414 in reimbursements in the first quarter of FY10. 6 Cost Per Employee/Retiree Graph H -5 and Table H -2, show average cost per employee for medical and pharmacy expenses (employee count is based on active employees, retirees and Cobra participants), comparing first quarter FY09 to FY10. • Citicare had a 25% increase in cost per employee; • Citicare Public Safety had a 28% increase in cost per employee; • Citicare Fire had an 80% increase in cost per employee.

Real Estate AEP Texas Texas A &M - CC Texas A &M - CC BACKGROUND: The Economic Stimulus Initiative resulted from the need to identify and implement strategies to support local businesses, encourage private investment and improve the local economy in 2010. The presentation will discuss the community -wide collaboration, process, and highlight the top prioritized list of strategies, with associated financial impact and action steps for implementation/ PowerPoint X Supplemental Information 1dEscobar, City Manager `angele @cctexas.com 826 -3220 L-A9/64- BACKGROUND INFORMATION Due to increasing concerns about the economic downturn and impact on the City and surrounding region, a task force was established in early December to brainstorm and develop ideas to bring forth as an action plan to stimulate the local economy focusing on "low hanging fruit ". Research indicated that many cities nationwide were proactively taking steps to "kick- start" the local economy. A few of the ideas are highlighted below: • EIk Grove, California established a marketing promotion for a "shop local project" to stimulate local purchasing and retain dollars in EIk Grove. • Santa Clarita, California focused on stimulating major retail, event sponsorship, and local purchasing incentives: o Major retail: created expedited permitting & subsidizing for new tenants at mall and short -term subsidies for local businesses that produce quality jobs; o Event sponsorship: encouraged multi -year event sponsorship; o Local purchasing incentives where local business could match lowest bid by non -local business. • Sarasota, Florida accelerated capital improvement projects. • Phoenix, Arizona developed inventory of local businesses identifying openings /closings, developed indicators, and developed community profile of strengths /weaknesses, and issues affecting businesses. • Atascadero, California accelerated capital improvement program, reduced plan review turnaround, instituted 24 hour inspections, developed marketing program encouraging people to shop /eat downtown, etc. • Meridian, Ohio developed "buy - local" campaign. About the Corpus Christi Initiative In early December, over 50 people representing local chambers of commerce, banks, economists, real estate, property owners, college and university, students, former city manager, home builders, hotels, regional economic development, downtown management district, and city staff, etc. collaborated on ideas to stimulate the local economy. Over the course of the next month, "Project Leaders" and "Staff Liaisons" teams were assigned to each idea that was validated and prioritized based on the "Financial Impact ", "Priority ", and "Time to Implement ". Other criteria considered was "Difficulty to Implement ", "Cost to Implement" and "Time to Payback ". The ideas were also categorized into the following areas: business assistance, development, marketing, housing, and local stimulus. Over the course of several meetings and many team meetings, twenty -six ideas were transformed into the final list of "economic development strategies" (attachment 1). These strategies were then prioritized into three tiers representing high, medium, and low priorities. Items 1 through 9 are considered "high" priority, items 10 through 13 are medium priority, and 14 through 26 are lower priority. Items not viable were removed. High Priority Strategies Below is information on each of the "high" priority strategies as developed by each team. STRATEGY 1: Collection Program for Utility Delinquent Accounts — Phase I The initial idea for an amnesty program to waive fees penalties and fines, evolved from community comments during the brainstorming session held in early December2009. The intent was to collect a percentage of outstanding debt that otherwise would remain uncollectible. The Finance Department adopted this concept to enhance the City's collection efforts in regards to utility delinquency management. Over the past several years, the Finance Department has initiated various components of a utility delinquency management plan. These components include increasing the staffing levels of both field and administrative support personnel. Field personnel are assigned various tasks and responsibilities that range from disconnecting services of delinquency accounts to utility code enforcement that involves the prosecution of theft of services with the court system. Administrative support staff performs skip tracing queries that identify and allow for the transfer of outstanding balances of customers who are reapplying for service. Additional tools that the City uses to offset losses, is the lien ordinance that was approved by City Council in 2008 and Credit Bureau reporting of those uncollectible accounts. Although these components have been successful in generating uncollectible bad debt, the referenced programs below will compliment the City's efforts to curtail its delinquency problem. Currently, staff generates 100 work orders daily for disconnection of services of delinquent utility accounts. The proposed Phase I of the Collection Program for Utility Delinquent Accounts will schedule a day at the beginning of each month where 500 accounts will be targeted for disconnect. The recommended effort entails field service personnel turning off services to the top 500 delinquent accounts with a goal of encouraging the customer to come to the office and pay their delinquent bill to reconnect services. The cost associated with this effort involves approximately $1,000 of overtime per month. The overtime will be paid to field service personnel that are required to reconnect services late in the evening for those customers who pay late in the afternoon and request their service be reconnected that same day. Annually, staff projects the City will collect approximately $220,000 in bad debt expense for the $12,000 spent on overtime. A pilot program of this type was put into place last fiscal year with positive results. Staff can implement this plan beginning in April, 2010. STRATEGY 2: Bidding Reciprocity Evaluations The State of Texas allows for reciprocity in the evaluation of bids from out of state bidders. Although Texas does not have a local bidder preference law, many states have and enforce such laws. These local preference laws allow municipalities to award to a state resident (resident) over a non state resident (non- resident) if the low bidder is a non- resident and the resident is within a predetermined percentage of the low bidder. The percentages vary from state to state but are generally between 3 and 10 percent. The Purchasing Division is targeting 1% of the $63 million in expenditures (currently administered by the Division) to be awarded under a reciprocity evaluation. This would involve $630,000 of expenditures where the City would pay an additional 5% to award to a Texas bidder over a non - resident bidder. Ideally, the Texas bidder will be a resident of Corpus Christi which will have a multiplier effect on the local economy. A conservative multiplier of 1.5 has been selected as the amount of additional economic activity that will be generated by these contracts equating to $315,000 annually to the local economic base. The 5% cost to award to the resident bidder is $31,500. Although many components must align to trigger an award of this type, the payback of such an evaluation /award is worth the effort. Implementation of this program can be achieved with minimal analysis and has already been implemented this calendar year. STRATEGY 3: Collection Program for Utility Delinquent Accounts — Phase II Phase II of the proposed Collection Program for Utility Delinquent Accounts is a plan designed to reduce the level of bad debt the City must expense at the end of each fiscal year. The plan will increase the number of disconnect work orders to 200 a day and provide administrative assistance in the office to monitor payment plans, contact delinquent customers by phone, coordinate bad debt reporting with the Credit Bureau, issue demand letters to delinquent customers and generate work orders to disconnect services. The cost associated with the plan is estimated to be approximately $200,000 per year for the hiring of three field service personnel for field duties, three customer service representatives for administrative support, equipment and transportation for the field service personnel, and computers, phones and office supplies for the administrative support staff. Phase II is estimated to generate an additional $500,000 to off-set bad debt expense per year and to cover the $200,000 implementation cost. Phase II represents a long term plan developed to curtail the delinquency costs associated with utility accounts which can be implemented within 30 to 45 days. STRATEGY 4: Develop inventory of vacant property to promote redevelopment or marketing of properties. Development Services is taking a proactive approach towards redevelopment in the identified target areas. The department has produced a map of the area that contains available infrastructure, transportation, zoning, capital improvements, etc. The information will allow the city and its partners to market those areas requiring minimal investment. Development Services will work proposals through the project management section ensuring a thorough review and work closely with the City's Economic Development Department to ensure all possible incentives are thoroughly investigated. In addition, Development Services is working with Intergovernmental Affairs to discuss statute changes at the state level that would allow the city to use property the City acquires for, not only residential development, but also commercial development in a process called "Land Banking ". This has the potential to open up wide areas of incentives for commercial development in areas that have remained stagnant. STRATEGY 5: Establish "working group" to accelerate local Capital Improvement Programs. Economists agree that aggressive local capital improvement programs provide the greatest impact on local economies. According to Dr. Jim Lee, Professor of Economics at Texas A &M University — Corpus Christi, the multiplier can be as much as 2.5 times as much as the value of the projects. In addition, due to the dollars being spent locally, the local cash infusion directly helps local businesses and local employers. Most importantly, local unemployed workers are put back to work directly, or indirectly, on the projects. During the first meeting to brainstorm ideas, one college president commented that due to the huge impact on the local economy, instead of "holding back" on big projects, he would now consider pushing forward with projects. Currently, Del Mar College is moving forward with the Fine Arts Building ($18 million), the Northwest Center ($825,000) and the Music Building is in design stage. This equates to a local stimulus of over $47 million. The City of Corpus Christi is also accelerating capital improvement projects which have a total estimated construction value of $88 million including associated utility work. The local stimulus impact is estimated to be $220 million. These projects are: • Airline Road - Saratoga to Rodd Field; • Flour Bluff Drive Phase 1 - SPID to Graham; • Flour Bluff Drive Phase 2 - Graham to Don Patricio; • Kostoryz Phase 1 - Horne to Sunnybrook; • Kostoryz Phase 2 - Sunnybrook to SPID; and • Yorktown - Staple to Cimarron. The City is also accelerating release of "Request for Qualifications" for new CIP projects: • Brownfield Hazardous Materials Assessments Downtown and Northside; • Brownfield Petroleum Assessments Community Wide; • Energy Efficiency Analysis; and • Wetlands Mitigation Bank. Several meetings have also occurred amongst the "working group" to discuss the acceleration of local capital improvement projects. Two initial action items were identified: • Identify public organizations to be contacted to create a database of capital improvement projects scheduled for implementation in 2010. A letter was sent to various organizations and institutions on January 25th requesting the following information: project description, capital investment, construction timeline; • Convene a meeting with area architects, engineering firms and contractors to discuss capital improvement projects and processes which could be implemented to facilitate projects. A meeting was held January 21st with seven firms represented with the following ideas emerging from the meeting: • Get projects shovel ready. • Speed up the RFQ process required to get architect and engineering firms approved to be able to do work for the City. Reduce the number of jobs available at one time, to get them out for bid sooner. • Establish the local capacity of contractors with the proposed increase in work to be put out for bid. • Establish the size of jobs with the experience and qualifications of contractors bidding the work. • There was a concern by a contractor that the City may be bundling contracts that do not allow them to bid. Others preferred bundling due to the lessened workload by staff. • Several contractors suggested that the City accelerate the payment process once the work is approved. A second meeting will take place in mid - February to obtain additional feedback from other area architects, engineering firms, and contractors. STRATEGY 6: Encourage Corpus Christi's participation at shopping center, commercial real estate, and other retail business focused tradeshows. The City and other organizations should collaborate with key industry leaders to develop a comprehensive list of venues to promote Corpus Christi at various international conventions. For example, one such convention is "The Global Retail Real Estate Convention ", in Las Vegas May 23 -25, 2010 -- the largest retail real estate convention in the world. The convention provides an efficient and economical way to meet with key industry players and learn what projects are in the pipeline over the next 12 months. Over 1,800 exhibitors, 3,800 retail participants, and close to 50,000 visitors are expected from all around the globe. The convention provides an ideal environment to make new connections and strengthen the City's existing national and international network, including obtaining information on the Trade Exposition /Green Zone /Retail Showcase on innovations to bring back to Corpus Christi and help gain a competitive edge. This Convention increases knowledge of the most important issues and trends affecting the retail industry while promoting Corpus Christi to top developers from around the World. It offers the opportunity to exchange ideas with other cities, developers, and retailers and could accomplish a year's worth of business and networking in four days. Marketing Corpus Christi via "face to face" meetings, in conjunction with a multi -media and video showcase, lets the rest of the world know we are OPEN FOR BUSINESS. STRATEGY 7: Promote Energy Efficiency Programs Maximizing Federal /State Dollars. Multiple efforts are being combined into the overall energy management plan for the City of Corpus Christi. These include the following: 1. In June of 2009, the city council formally approved an energy management program for the community. The "program" was the result of the State Office of Energy Conservation setting a 5% annual reduction in energy consumption goal. The City must attempt to comply with this legislative goal. This annual reduction has the potential to create approximately $250,000 — $500,000 in annual savings although achieved savings will depend on each implemented project initiated. 2. The City continues to participate in the AEP "CitySmart"program. This State of Texas program provides incentives for local communities to lower energy consumption through the auditing of city -owned buildings by a consultant provided by AEP. Based on the audit, the consultant provides recommendations on projects for implementation to lower energy consumption. 3. The City of Corpus Christi received an Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant in 2009 through the Federal Stimulus Program in the amount of $2.8 million. The grant will enable implementation of a long -term strategy by setting priorities, planning for projects through the Capital Improvement Process, and leveraging the dollars against other available resources. Resources and funding is a primary factor in enabling the City to move forward with projects as fast as possible. The City is making progress and has a robust effort related to energy efficiency initiatives. For example, royalty and lease payments on a per installed wind turbine basis could produce revenue in the amount of $30,000 - $50,000 annually. 4. The City has also developed some renewable energy initiatives including projects that would harness wind power at the Cefe Valenzuela Landfill; landfill gas to energy projects at the Cefe Valenzuela Landfill, and the closed Elliott Landfills; miscellaneous solar projects at various city facilities; and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) projects that provide infrastructure improvements that would allow for future vehicle and equipment conversions from petroleum to CNG. These are multi - million dollar efforts that would also produce revenue to the City. The City is in various stages of "Request for Proposals" to determine the viability of these projects. 5. Finally, the use of meter technology and the installation of smart meters by AEP and the City MIS Department is also a key component of arming ourselves with as much information as possible and looking for savings opportunities in that regard. STRATEGY 8: Develop "Community Branding & Identity" for cohesive messaging. An unsettling disconnect exists between Corpus Christi's star power and status as a business magnet. Corpus Christi needs to send a strong signal that "we are open for business" and "we're ready to compete ". A consensus on business message and community brand is needed to send that signal. Cities that are business magnets across the nation have economic development plans that share similar characteristics -- including buy -in to a single plan. "The Plan ", business -led and business - driven, creates community synergy and alignment around five simple goals: 1. Keep what we have: focusing on local business retention & expansion 2. Open our doors: finding and growing your new economy by identifying the target industries & businesses of your future 3. Stay creative: fostering innovation & encouraging entrepreneurial investment 4. Invest in our human and physical infrastructure: growing and retaining an abundance of educated and skilled workers, while investing in your roads, utilities & drainage infrastructure 5. Get the message out there: investing in aggressive, national marketing to your targeted industries and site selectors The last goal is the "heart" of any successful plan. Corpus Christi must identify and then use the community's uniqueness by branding and marketing that uniqueness — which is a very specific and necessary process in any viable economic development initiative. In order to build "The Plan ", research must be conducted that answers the following two questions with citizens, national site selectors and targeted business prospects: 1. What are the City's authentic assets? 2. What is most important to target business prospects? Then, what is important is matched among business prospects to the assets of the City. Where the two findings intersect -- matching what target business prospects want with what the City has -- defines the City's "unfair advantage" and competitive edge. Once identified, the City can vigorously market the community including regularly hosting and showcasing the community to site selectors from across the country, as well as investing in aggressive national marketing and advertising. "The Plan's" success can be measured through the number of new jobs created, aggregate increase in payroll, and new corporate relocations. Progress can be measured through fundraising (public and private) to implement the plan, out -of- region recruitment visits, prospect visits, serious relocation inquiries, and regional retention visits with existing businesses. Note: In 2003 during the economic downturn after 9/11, Austin adopted a five - year plan for economic development called "Opportunity Austin." The first step was the creation of a marketing theme or brand for the community. As a benchmark, in 2007 through private and public fundraising, Opportunity Austin spent $3.3 million on national marketing and advertising in publications such as the "Wall Street Journal', "Site Selection Magazine ", "Expansion Managemenr, "Dow Jones Online ", "Southern Business and Development", and "SiteNet Dispatch Online ". Three years after the plan was adopted, the measurable outcomes of the initiative: • 80,900 new jobs • $3.5 billion increase in aggregate payroll • 93 corporate relocations • 432 out -of- region visits • 275 prospect visits • 2,763 serious relocation inquiries • 316 regional retention visits with existing businesses Discussions are on- going regarding the possible implementation of a program known as "I am Corpus ". This initiative has been successfully implemented within organizations such as Six Flags and among the business community in Seattle as a community branding strategy. The City of Corpus Christi will engage the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce, who has taken the lead role on this opportunity, as this program is developed to determine the City's role in this exciting initiative. STRATEGY 9: Further support inter - regional cooperative marketing campaign promoting "Community Branding & Identity" message by locating and identifying additional sources of revenue to support regional advertising efforts. Strong collaboration and alignment is needed among all area entities and businesses to effectively leverage Corpus Christi's assets into becoming a magnet for business and job growth. One plan is needed -- not competing plans -- with everyone "on- board ". Corpus Christi should take a leadership role in working hand -in -hand with the business community, partnering and investing in a national marketing campaign to get our message out to the right people. The City should explore the ability to use Type A economic development funds for job creation through community marketing -- including looking for ways to pool resources from the current advertising dollars being spent by different area attractions and entities. The Corpus Christi Convention & Visitor's Bureau indicates an 8 to 1 return on investment on Hotel Occupancy Tax revenue received. Corpus Christi remains a well kept secret and the synergy needs to be created to effectively market the good living in Corpus Christi. Good living draws good workers and ultimately, companies will gravitate to areas that offer an ambience that can attract a skilled, educated workforce. But first we need a coordinated message: we're "open for business" and "ready to compete" and, "if you are already in Corpus Christi, we intend to keep you ". "If you aren't here yet, we want to make you regret every single day you have to wait to get here ".
