While the policy of not turning anyone away during the freeze last month was a good one for local shelters, there were still many problems that could have been avoided if we had just had a low barrier shelter to begin with. Despite what some individuals have said, a low barrier shelter is NOT a "sanctioned tent city" but an active alternative to having to camp on the street. There's many obstacles to using our current shelters that would not be present in a low barrier shelter, such as drug tests, pet policies, the splitting up of families, cleanliness of the facility and just physical inaccessibility. A low barrier shelter would provide bathrooms, showers, and laundry access, which will then in turn allow houseless folk to seek employment or substance help. You don't know how much something as simple as a shower and a warm place to sleep can help someone until you've gone without it, as I'm sure many of our housed neighbors got a taste of in the freeze.

My written comment is below: Hello Mayor & Council, my name is Eli McKay & I live at 1008 Marguerite St. in beautiful district 1. Today, I am writing to urge the council to revisit the urgent need for our city to create a low barrier shelter for our unhoused community. I am grateful that our city officials, local nonprofits, volunteers, and FEMA organized emergency shelters to place over 150 Corpus Christi citizens in a safe place during the freeze. This number alone speaks of the opportunity a low barrier shelter would bring to ensure fundamental human rights are met for all Corpus Christi citizens. I am also grateful for you passing item 23 on the February 23rd meeting, which I'm sure will help start the process. If you take these first steps to reduce homelessness in our city, you will be remembered as the council who changed constituents' lives, lowered unneeded strain on local businesses, and gave our city a path to the future. I urge you to support the low barrier shelter option for our city.

Avoid clicking on links or attachments. We will NEVER ask for a password, username, payment or to take action from an email. When in doubt, please forward to SecurityAlert@cctexas.com. ] ] I oppose the recommendation to rezone the property at 4518 Saratoga Blvd., owned by the Episcopal Church, from "RS -6" Single Family 6 District to "ON" Office Neighborhood District, which the Planning Commission has denied. I have a personal stake in this matter as I live behind the property at 4517 Clearwater Drive, and I ask that City Council look at this matter as if they lived behind the property as well. It seems inconsistent that City Staff is going against the Planning Commission's denial, I question the comments included in the Planning Commission Final Report (Final Report), and I'm dismayed at how unprofessionally the matter has been handled. The Final Report says the proposed rezoning is "generally consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan (Plan CC) and does not have a negative impact." No basis is given for no negative impact, and after reading Plan CC, the proposed rezoning is NOT consistent with Plan CC, which includes the following statements: Vision to have high quality of life for families, and continue to support long-established families; Maintain high-quality and safe neighborhoods; Invest in the quality of life in established neighborhoods; Sustain and maintain established neighborhoods; Encourage the protection and enhancement of residential neighborhoods; Encourage residential infill development on lots within existing neighborhoods; Support 1 separation of high volume traffic away from residential areas; and Promote medium density activities such as office use around commercial centers of high density (not residential). It seems that City Staff only used policies they found in Plan CC that support the rezoning and did not include policies that oppose the rezoning. Another inconsistency is that "ON" is defined as a transition between residential and non-residential areas, but in this case, no transition is needed - the area is zoned residential with no adjacent non-residential area that requires a "transition" between the two areas. The Final Report also indicates that no specific plans for office development have been submitted. Even if they have, that does not preclude the property owner from changing the plans later to a use that is not office. The UDC lists approved uses for "NO" as apartments, overnight accommodation, and accessory uses such as restaurants and retail sales. Even though there might be a current plan for an office, the use and plans could change later. There was an Amendment to Restrictive Covenants that was supposedly signed by a simple majority of the residents in the neighborhood changing the use to professional offices as long as the use met the UDC zoning requirements, which again, allows for other uses as described above that are not professional office. I'm not aware of anyone who signed the amendment, and to my knowledge, the signatures have not been verified. An Agenda Memorandum to the City Manager dated 01/13/2021 indicates that "there is no fiscal impact associated with this item." It appears that the only people who would benefit from the zoning change are the commercial real estate agent who is pushing hard for the zoning change and the attorney who wants to buy the property, unless there is an unknown benefit. The property owner would also gain financially, however, it is my understanding that a local pastor has offered to negotiate with the property owner to keep a church on the property. A business in a residential area is not beneficial to the home owners in the neighborhood, and it is not a benefit to the users of the city park - Country Club Park - located across the street. Furthermore, it does not appear that there has been an effort to sell the property to another church or buyer who would keep the property residential. There have been a couple of reported incidents of vagrants being on the property, a break-in at the church, dumping, and vendor activity. However, homelessness is a wider city issue and unauthorized use of the property is the responsibility of the property owner and of the city to enforce city codes and ordinances. Those issues should not be used as excuses to rezone the property for the benefit of a commercial real estate agent and an attorney. Finally, I was very disturbed during the Planning Commission meeting held on 12/09/2020. My comments were not included during the meeting until I sent an email to Craig Garrison and Catherine Garza who then read my comments late, saying that they were "overlooked." Comments from other neighbors were not read at all, which calls into question the entire process. The lack of transparency and the unprofessionalism during this process is disappointing, and it is even more disappointing that City Staff insists on going against the Planning Commission's recommendations. There are already large areas of property (some vacant) located across the street at the southwest and southeast corners of Everhart and Saratoga already zoned for use by an office. Quality of life and safe, family -friendly neighborhoods with quiet streets are cornerstones to successful, thriving communities. Bringing a business into the neighborhood would also bring more vehicle traffic, more noise, more light at night, more foot traffic close to homes, diminished privacy from a multi -story office building, unknown future use, and lower residential property values. I appreciate your time considering the comments in opposition to this matter, and I would appreciate your vote against the zoning change.

I have spent the last year changing the deed restrictions that restricted this property to a church only. A majority of the neighborhood homeowners signed this Amendment agreeing to the requested zoning of ON on the front 1.5 acres and leaving residential on the rear one acre.

In Feb 2020 Bryan Harris held a meet and greet for all HOA members to discuss his intent to build a professional office building at 4518 Saratoga. Attending were several HOA members, Bryan Harris,Wayne Lundquist(for the Seller, Episcopal Church Corporation) and myself. We have secured a majority of the HOA 51+ members to be in favor of our project. The building will be occupied by Bryan K Harris, PC and a few other professionals. The hours of 1 operation will be 8:00am to 5:00pm. During the past year, there have been several break- ins at the building resulting in damage to the property. More recently, homeless have broke-in creating a potential fire hazard. This is an opportunity to improve the neighborhood, add to the tax base and at the same time limit the traffic at the site. Bryan is a local and has chosen to invest back in his community. We ask the Council for this opportunity. Thank You!

As a 29 yr. resident responsible for 3 properties within a block of the unoccupied church, I have witnessed the church's decline from an active church/Mom's Day Out/Preschool in the 1990s to a dwindling attended weekly service. Prior to its vacancy about 5 yrs.ago, I stopped attending with 1 elderly neighbors due to its poor air quality with mold content. Not only would the rezoning broaden the opportunity to remove the unkept, hazardous abandoned building, but it would improve the neighborhood's security by deterring crime, unwanted fires, dumped trash and vehicles etc. In addition, eliminating the neglected dangerous unhealthy structure would protect the homeless community that continues to seek shelter even more now with these difficult times and bad weather. I plead with the City Council to act for a positive change in our city that already has too many neglected and unsafe properties.

Avoid clicking on links or attachments. We will NEVER ask for a password, username, payment or to take action from an email. When in doubt, please forward to SecurityAlert@cctexas.com. ] ] To whom it may concern, Hi. My name is Gary Richmer. I live at 4406 Clearwater Drive,the street right behind the property owned by the Episcopal Church Corporation -the property in question of being rezoned for the building of a multi-story office building (Case 1220-03). The reason I'm sending you this e-mail is because I am in strong opposition to having that property rezoned from "RS-6" (Single Family Residential)to "ON" (Office Neighborhood). I have lived in this Country Club Estates neighborhood, at the same address, since 1980(that is for the past 41 years), and I strongly object to seeing the dynamics of this neighborhood change by allowing office buildings to be built. My reasons for objecting to this rezoning request includes the following: - PROPERTY: The property in question is presently zoned for single family residential with a deed restriction for church use; and,this quiet neighborhood has embraced having a church on that corner lot since its inception. Also, for your information, a local Minister, Pastor Terry Ray, is a serious prospective buyer for that property. Pastor Terry wants to keep the existing building there and use it for his church,The Living Word. Pastor Terry has members of his congregation who will clean up and maintain the grounds and who will make necessary repairs to the church building. He contacted Ms Caroline Mowen (Cantor/Assistant Treasurer of the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas)to make an offer to buy the church property, but apparently Mr Wayne Lundquist, a local commercial realtor, has convinced Ms Mowen to only consider selling the property to a team of lawyers who are interested in locating their multi-story office building on that corner. (NOTE:The ReZoning Request identifies "...the development of a two to three story professional office building to be constructed"; also note that the proposed construction plan for the multi-story office building calls for a restaurant to be located within the structure on the first floor). -THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION -The Planning and Development Commission met on 9 Dec 2020 to discuss rezoning of the subject property. Mr Craig Garison represented the City regarding the matter and although I am aware of nine individuals who, prior to the meeting, sent emails to Mr Garison expressing their opposition to the rezoning of this property, Mr Garison stated, during the meeting,that he had received only three messages and he read each of them. Upon hearing this, one of my neighbors emailed Mr Garison during the meeting and challenged him as to why he did not acknowledge her message. As a result of that contact, during his meeting, Mr Garison stated that he had overlooked another message in opposition and he read the additional email aloud, but he failed to even so much as to acknowledge the additional five emails that he had received (including mine). Then, after minimal discussion,there was a call for a motion "To Rezone the Subject Property". No motion was made. So there was a call for a motion "Not To Rezone the Property" and this motion was made and seconded. A roll call vote was made and the motion "To Not Rezone This Property" passed by a vote of 13 to 1. The Planning and Development Commission made it 1 clear that they were not in favor of rezoning the corner property at Saratoga and Brisbane where the Episcopal Church presently is located. -TRAFFIC: Office buildings and restaurants(no matter how small) bring people, and people bring traffic. There is a well-used City park where children run with their dogs,fly their kites and practice and play school sports(baseball, softball, soccer,football, etc) on Brisbane (the same street where the rezoning is being requested); in fact,this park is within the 200 ft radius of the requested rezoning,the same radius as the 28 houses that received the city's Public Hearing Notices. - PRIVACY: This multi-story office building would totally encroach on the privacy of the homes bordering this property. No amount of"buffer" property, along the fence-line of these homes,would be enough to assure the privacy that these homes presently have and, of course, had when the homeowners bought their houses. - LONG-TERM USE OF THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION: If rezoning of this property is successful, and the lawyers decide, at any time,that the demographics of this location is not good for law offices, nothing would prevent the owners from "renting" their facility to other establishments such as places that do "body art" (tatoos), chiropractors(places that do massages), or for that matter any other"business"that would not be conducive to the present"quietness" of this neighborhood. - PROPERTY VALUES OF THE 108 HOUSES IN THIS COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES NEIGHBORHOOD- I've spoken with several realtor friends about this situation and they all said mostly the same thing-that having a "business" in a neighborhood with a multi-story office building makes the houses within that neighborhood harder to sell, and because of that,the expected selling price of these houses will usually have to be reduced (sometimes several times) in order to be sold. There is no benefit to the homeowners in this well-established neighborhood to have any type of"business" on that property. -THE COMPREHENSIVE (NEIGHBORHOOD) PLAN -Typically called "Plan CC" had previously been adopted by the Corpus Christi City Council and this plan states that "Corpus Christi sustains and maintains established neighborhoods." The proposed zoning change appears to be at odds with the master plan for neighborhoods developed by our city. My recommendation would be to keep the property as is or to have it redeveloped with single-family residences consistent with Plan CC. I thank you for your time and for your interest in helping us with this extremely sensitive situation. As a very concerned neighbor in this Country Club Estates neighborhood (one of the nicest older neighborhoods in this city) I ask that you DISAPPROVE rezoning of this property.

Thank you. Uploads: Case 1220.03 - Letter Elizabeth Parsley.pdf Provide an email to receive a copy of your parslevliz@gmail.com submission. Friday, February 19,2021 Dear Corpus Christi City Council, My family moved into the neighborhood in 2013 and I began serving on the board of the Neighborhood Association in 2014. It is a pleasure and privilege to serve in this capacity,for our neighborhood is a wonderful place to live with caring residents. I strive to be respectful and openminded to all residents' concerns even when they differ from each other. When I first became involved with the Neighborhood Association the most complained about issue was the vacant pool at the corner of Congressional and Pebble Beach. It has been vacant for nearly 10 years and continues to be a safety&hazard concern especially being right next to the children's playground. So, it was a huge disappointment to the residents when The Episcopal Church closed its doors and was no longer active. The neighborhood now has another vacant structure within a block of each other to contend with. Since the closing of the church, I have received numerous calls from residents about various issues of trash dumping, break-ins and vagrants squatting at the facility,adult males walking from the church into the neighborhood and engaging children at the playground. Now I absolutely respect and understand the concerns with having a commercial zoned area in the neighborhood. The idea of commercial zoning brings all kinds of images of unwanted businesses next to residential homes. An initial proposal of a funeral home was vehemently opposed and I wholeheartedly agreed with that opposition. I attended the meeting on December 2019,where Mr. Bryan Harris was present to address questions and concerns from the residents in attendance. It is my understanding that Mr. Harris is requesting to rezone the 1%2 acre Saratoga frontage as ON-Neighborhood Office District and build a two-story office building for his firm and potentially lease office space to other professional associates. The homes closest to the office building would be 2-3 homes on Swansea off Saratoga with approximately 80 ft distance from the side of the office building to the back of the residential fence line. Trees could be planted along that area to obscure visibility. The back 1 acre where the vacant church sits and is closest to the rest of the homes on Swansea and Clearwater would remain as Single Family Residential or Church Use. I also understand that regardless of the ON zoning assignment,the Deed Restrictions override zoning and only a professional office building can be on the 1 1/2 acre. That it could not be used for retail purposes thus limiting traffic activity. Mr. Harris also said that he would have the dilapidated church demolished after his office building is completed. Mr. Harris also expressed that he would be a good steward of the neighborhood and do what he can to support the Neighborhood Association. I appreciate that Mr. Harris is a lifelong resident of Corpus Christi and I hope is sincere with the intentions he has put forth. If all this is true and correct, then it is my opinion that this proposal is the best and highest use of this lot. I have spoken with several residents throughout the neighborhood, including those on Swansea and Clearwater and many shared their worries about the ongoing vagrant and criminal activities occurring at the deteriorating church building. It is the hope that Mr. Harris' proposal and partnership with the neighborhood will be a positive solution to those issues.

Suite F-11, Corpus Christi,Texas. As a Commercial Real Estate Broker I represent the church and we have shown to many small churches but to no avail. I had a total knee replacement on December 9 when this property went to planning commission otherwise, I would have been able to make this presentation to the planning commission and alleviate a number of the questions that arose. This property was deed restricted in 1964 to a church only. The church closed their doors in 2018 and the seller, Episcopal Church Corporation of West Teas has been attempting to sell for three years. Finally, we secured a buyer, Brian Harris, Attorney who agreed to have 1.5 acres on Saratoga as a professional office and keep the rear one acre as a residential tract. He will tear down the church and sell residential lot. Our First step was to circulate an amendment to change the deed restrictions. We had neighborhood meetings and went door to door with the help of several neighbors. We secured fifty-six(56) signatures which is over 50%of neighborhood which was the requirement to change the deed restrictions. The Amendment to Restrictions specifically allows 1.5 acres of professional office in front and one acre remaining residential in the rear. So, if any change is desired in the future, deed restrictions will have to be amended a second time. Second step is the rezoning. Now that we have the deed restrictions amended,we are coming to request the change in zoning. We have had a major problem with homeless living in the vacant church. Every time we board up the church, people rip off boards. Police have arrested two people. A few neighbors are worried about the increased traffic. I don't think a small law firm of 3 attorneys and staff will generate more traffic than church. Even with a few tenants, I think with Saratoga frontage, most traffic will enter&exit off Saratoga. I would appreciate your support in this request.

Mucrta,City Secretary P.O. Box 9277 Corpus Christi,TX 78469-9277 Re: Case 1020-02: Opposition to Rezoning Request by Mustang Island,LLC City Council Members: We own the property immediately to the south of the property for which a zoning change has been requested. We oppose the zoning change and ask the City Council to please help us protect our property. When we purchased this property,we relied on the zoning of our property and the property around us. We are not anti-development. Instead, we are in favor of the kind of development that is both consistent with the planned development of Mustang island and in the best interest of the City of Corpus Christi and the people in our community. The City Council has recently approved a zoning change with special permit to allow an RV park on the south of our property. If you change the zoning again to allow yet another RV park on our northern boundary, we will be surrounded by RV parks.The Council will have made it impossible for us to fulfill our plans for our property. The value of our property will plummet and the substantial investment we have made in our property will be lost overnight. We ask that you please not take away the only thing that protects the value of our property. The idea of having a high-end RV park on Mustang Island is a departure from the development plan and an experiment for the City. Rather than approving two experiments within weeks of one another, we ask the Council to please see how the first approved RV park works out before approving another one. All of the concerns that were expressed with respect to the RV park you approved are magnified if the Council approves a second RV park. This is a perfect time of year to observe how traffic flow on Mustang Island is already a challenge for our community under normal circumstances. By allowing one RV park on Mustang Island, the Council has taken a risk that the roads can handle even more traffic and even more delays. We have not yet seen a hurricane evacuation or other emergency evacuation scenario on Mustang Island with the newly approved RV park. We ask that you please wait to make sure that a safe evacuation from Mustang Island is possible with the newly approved RV park before you risk adding more RV traffic. The conceptual rendering provided in connection with the requested zoning change has not been engineered and is completely unrealistic. It suggests that the property could be developed all the way to the shore and completely ignores dune protection, wetlands, storm water management and similar issues that are addressed at the beginning of the planning process. As the Council correctly pointed out in previous meetings concerning the approved zoning change with special permit, pretty concepts, pictures and projections submitted in connection with a zoning change request don't guarantee that the property will be developed that way. Granting the requested zoning change would allow the property owner to do anything that fits within the requirements of the changed zoning. We strongly oppose the requested zoning change, but if you are inclined to approve it, we respectfully request that the owner first be required to submit detailed plans or apply for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) prior to consideration of the owner's request. Then and only then would the City Council and neighboring property owners have enough information about what the owner is planning to do to make a decision whether to support or oppose those plans.

Public Comment & Input Form Date of Meeting 03-16-2021 Name Richard Weitzel Address Street Address: 16602 Willow Run City:San Antonio State/Province:Texas Postal/Zip Code: 78247 Country: United States Topic Zoning Case 1020-02 Agenda Number 20-1344 Describe Feedback: I strongly oppose RV Parks. Trailer parks provide less Revenue for city and county, and attract a negative element. A Developers Pro Forma will rapidly deteriorate into a slum-like environment. When the Trailer Park shows decreasing Revenue, the prices drop, and to get Revenue the Trailer Park accepts anyone to offset expenses-a downward "spiral" into bankruptcy. No one will want to buy a Lot and build an expensive home overlooking a slum-area Trailer Park. City Council can become "heroes" in the CC area by commissioning a Study on the "best and highest use" of the entire area -from the perspective of Tax Revenue, and not of limited knowledge of what is best for the City of CC and Mustang Island. The Study should include what other beachfront properties, like Okaloosa Island in Florida, have done to create a beneficial Tax Revenue base. The Study protects Council from being arbitrary and indecisive. Please don't miss this opportunity to do what's right for the City of CC.

Public Comment & Input Form Date of Meeting 03-15-2021 Name Kevin Kaplan Address Street Address: 14201 Northwest Blvd City: Corpus Christi State/Province:TX Postal/Zip Code: 78410 Topic Northwest Blvd Corridor Plan Describe Feedback: I work for Prosperity Bank located at the corner of NW Blvd and CR 69. CR 69 is currently two lanes wide and this intersection is not wide enough to • accomodate large trucks that turn off of NW Blvd. I have witnessed numerous trucks run up on the curbs and knock over utility boxes that are located at this intersection. If another vehicle is on CR 69 and stopped at the light a large truck can not make the turn off NW Blvd. 1 There is additional commercial development currently underway across NW Blvd from us as well as a new school which will only make the traffic ` flow at this intersection more important. I would welcome any questions. Provide an email to receive a copy of your kevin.kaplan@prosperitvbankusa.com submission. 2
