WHEREAS, on September 29, 2009, the City Council passed Ordinance 028329, which

WHEREAS, following notice in accordance with Chapter 311 of the Texas Tax Code, a public
hearing for this ordinance was held during the City Council meeting, which began on May 9,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. The facts and recitations contained in the preamble of this Ordinance are
found and declared to be true and correct and, in accordance with those findings,
Ordinance No. 024270 is hereby amended as laid out in the following sections.
SECTION 2. The City Council, after conducting the above-described public hearing and
having heard all evidence and testimony, makes the following findings and
determinations related to the amendment of Ordinance No. 024270 and finds that such
amendment is in the best interests of the City of Corpus Christi:
033049
SCANNED
(a) That the Zone, as amended, is a contiguous geographic area located wholly
within the corporate limits of the City.
(b) At the time that the Zone was created, the area substantially arrested or
impaired the sound growth of the City, retards the provision of multi -family
housing accommodations, constitutes an economic or social liability, and is a
menace to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition
and use because of:
(1) Unsafe conditions, including deteriorating streets and defective and
inadequate sidewalks throughout the proposed zone, pose a threat to
visitors, residents, and customers of businesses. The lack of appropriate
curb cuts and ramps limit the mobility of persons with disabilities.
(2) Non-existent, inadequately sized, or deteriorated utility infrastructure,
including wastewater and fiber optics, substantially arrests or impairs the
sound growth of the City and retards the development of multi -family
housing and other business or visitor facilities. The existing utility
infrastructure in its current condition constitutes an economic or social
liability and is a hazard to the public health and welfare in the proposed
zone.
(3) The inadequate street layout, lack of adequate improved parking, and
limited way -finding and other signage hampers movement of vehicles and
pedestrians throughout the proposed zone. This problem will be
exacerbated by the relocation of the Harbor Bridge in the coming years.
While the new bridge provides additional potential for growth within the
proposed zone, such potential may not be realized due to this problematic
infrastructure.
(4) Deteriorating public spaces with inadequate pedestrian scale lighting,
limited irrigation systems and inadequate access to water lines for drinking
fountains and hose bibs throughout the proposed zone limit the types of
landscaping and public amenities that can be installed within the proposed
zone.
(5) Lack of water and electrical meters in parks limits the activities within
the available public spaces.
(6) Unsafe conditions due to the lack of security cameras and other safety
programs pose a threat to visitors and residents.
(7) Inadequate drainage facilities substantially arrest or impair the sound
growth of the City and retard the development of multi -family housing and
other business or visitor facilities in the proposed zone, including potential
hotel developments.
(c) That much of the Zone remains open and undeveloped and, at the time of the
creation of the Zone, because of obsolete platting, substantially impaired or
arrested the sound growth of the City.
(d) That tourism and convention business is of extreme importance to the Corpus
Christi economy, and the Zone has tremendous, potential to support tourist and
convention facilities, and it is essential that this presently under -developed Zone
be fully developed to encourage tourism to continue in the area.
(d) That no more than 30 percent of the property in the Zone, excluding property
that is publicly owned, is used for residential purposes.
(e) That the total appraised value of taxable real property in the Zone and in all
existing reinvestment zones within the City according to the most recent
appraisal rolls for the City, does not exceed 25 percent of the current total
appraised value of taxable real property in the City and in the industrial districts
created by the City.
(f) That the improvements to be implemented in the Zone will significantly
enhance the value of all taxable real property in the Zone and will be of general
benefit to the City.
SECTION 3. The City Council expands the boundaries of the Zone to include the entire
area depicted by the map in Exhibit A and described by the metes and bounds in
Exhibit B to promote development and redevelopment of the area, which development
or redevelopment the City Council determines will not occur solely through private
investment in the reasonably foreseeable future.
SECTION 4. The amount of tax increment that the City contributes to the Tax Increment
Fund for each year of the remain term is as shown in the table below.
Increment Percentage

2022 through 2026

SECTION 5. The Project and Financing Plans for the TIRZ #2 are hereby amended to
add approved public improvement projects and anticipated expenditures in the amount
of $150,950,000, which will be more fully defined in a future project and financing plan
amendment to be approved by the TIRZ #2 Board and the City Council.
SECTION 6. The City Council finds that the continuation of the Zone and the
expenditure of moneys on deposit in the Tax Increment Fund, which are necessary or
convenient to the creation of the Zone or to the implementation of the project plan for
the Zone, constitute a program to promote local economic development and to stimulate
business and commercial activity in the City.
SECTION 7. If for any reason any section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, phrase,
word or provision of this ordinance shall be held invalid or unconstitutional by final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect any other section,
paragraph, subdivision, clause, phrase, word, or provision of this ordinance, for it is the
definite intent of this City Council that every section, paragraph, subdivision, clause,
phrase, word or provision of this ordinance be given full force and effect for its purpose.
