J. Failure to adhere to the time line developed by the Department may result in a delay in the authorization to the MPOs to proceed in incurring costs.

Examples include typographical, grammatical, or syntax corrections.

O. Should any conflict be discovered between the terms of this Agreement and the UPWP, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

P. The MPO is not authorized to request payment for any work it may perform that is not included in the current UPWP.

If the amount in the UPWP differs from the amount in the work order, the amount in the work order prevails.

E.

Caption: Consent Agenda Item

Consideration of authorizing a fourth amended Architectural and Consulting Services Agreement with Killis Almond Architects for the design of Auditorium roof and coping replacement and authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute said amendment

Summary: The City is currently in contract with Killis Almond Architects (KAA) for the Restoration & Rehabilitation of the City Hall and Old Library buildings and the renovation of the Auditorium. The Auditorium renovation focused primarily on upgrades within the building shell like new lights & sound equipment as well as new finishes and fixtures for restrooms and back of house spaces. The proposed new work includes the replacement of cast stone coping on all parapets, new roofing and insulation on both roof levels. There are a few items relating to roof penetrations for future auditorium work that can be properly addressed during this project Temporary measures have been taken to shore up damaged coping stones to prevent them from falling. KAA has an extensive knowledge of this building including information discovered during the City Hall renovation. Funding for this work was approved by council on July 17 under a budget amendment from Risk Management.

History: Killis Almond Architects have been under contract with the City since 2008 for the Master Plan of the City Hall Plaza area. Four phases of work were outlined for the renovation of the City Hall, Old Library, and Water Utility Building and a new Parking Garage. This contract was then extended for the Architect to provide professional services for Phase I - Renovation of the City Hall and Old Library buildings; Phase II -Design of the mechanical central plant that will serve all the buildings at the City Hall Plaza Area; Phase III – Restoration & renovation of the Auditorium, a Half-Cent Sales Tax Project. The Auditorium has always been considered an important element to the City Hall Plaza area and its renovation & expansion is key to the success of the Master Plan. The focus of Phase III was to improve the technical and aesthetic aspects within the shell of the auditorium structure. It was determined later that there was serious deficiencies in the roof and particularly the roof coping which posed a danger to the general public. The primary focus was to replace the damaged roof coping that posed a significant

danger to the general public as a safety issue. While there is some life left in the existing roofs, it does not make sense to replace the coping and not address an aging roof.

This work will strengthen the “Downtown Vision” as established by the City Council.

Financial Impact: The Professional Services fee for the Auditorium is $20,900. Funding comes from Budget Amendment from Risk Management funds with $316,000 available for the design & construction of the project.

Other Information/ Recommendation:

Staff recommends the approval of extending the professional services contract with Killis Almond Architects for the Auditorium Roof replacement Project.

Caption: Regular Agenda Item

First public hearing and consideration of introduction of an ordinance naming a private drive within the City of San Angelo located on a 3.757 acre tract in Block CC, Section 30 College Hills South Addition, Time Clock Drive; and providing an effective date; and first public hearing and consideration of an ordinance repealing in its entirety the ordinance introduced passed, approved and adopted on the 5th day of April 2005 naming a private drive on Lot 1 in Southland Park Addition, Section Fifteen, Time Clock Drive; and providing an effective date

Summary:

At its regular meeting on April 5, 2005 approved the second reading of an ordinance (Annex C, page 379, Ordinance) naming a heretofore unnamed private drive on Lot 1, Section 15, Southland Park Addition “Time Clock Drive”, at the request of the applicant Data Management, Inc. The applicant has subsequently purchased a new property and would like to use the name for a private drive on that property. No addresses were ever assigned to the former street.

History: Data management Inc, the applicant originally requested the naming of a private lane on Lot 1, Section 15, Southland Park addition, with the intent of relocating its operations to an existing building on that property. The company grew faster than anticipated resulting in that building being too small for their operations. Consequently the company purchased the property located at 3522 Loop 306 and has requested that the name Time Clock Drive be removed from the private drive on Lot 1, Section 15, Southland Park Addition and that the previously unnamed drive located on the newly purchased property, a 3.757 acre tract in Block CC, Section 30, College Hills South Addition be named Time Clock Drive. The company believes having a mailing address located on a street with the same name as their primary product “TimeClock Plus” provides a significant marketing benefit. No addresses have been assigned to any properties on the formerly named drive and the current occupant of the building into which the applicant intended to move, Journey Bible Church, is using the address 2819 West Loop 306 and there are no other properties which would be affected by the name change.

Financial Impact: None

Memo

Meeting Date: September 4, 2012

To: City Council members

From: Jeff Hintz, Planner Subject: Smith Boulevard, Partial Street Abandonment Request: Howard College requesting abandonment on the following property:

Location: an 80’ wide portion of the unimproved public right-of-way for Smith Boulevard, extending approximately 1000’ northward from McGill Boulevard, immediately adjacent to property owned by Howard College in northeastern San Angelo.

Contacts: LeAnne Byrd 325-481-8300 Jeff Hintz, Planner 325-657-4210

Caption: First Public Hearing and consideration of introduction of an Ordinance authorizing abandonment of public right-of-way for Smith Boulevard extending approximately 1000 feet northward from the intersection of Smith Boulevard and McGill Boulevard in northeastern San Angelo,


Summary: The City Council may:

1. Approve the proposed abandonment; or

2. Approve the proposed abandonment subject to conditions; or

3. Deny the proposed abandonment.

Recommendation: City staff recommends approving, subject to conditions as listed below, the proposed alley abandonment for the reasons mentioned in this report. On August 20, Planning Commission recommended approval of this request subject to conditions by a vote of 4-0. History and Background:

In May of 2012 a Planned Development was presented to the Planning Commission and approved. After some discussion at City Council, Council discussed their concerns about having Smith Boulevard bisect the campus, similar to that of Johnson Street at Angelo State. As a result, staff worked with Howard College, Parkhill Smith & Cooper, TxDOT, and other parties to identify alternative ways to route traffic in this area. COSADC, and later, City Council, approved the proposal of improving a segment of Smith Boulevard from PaulAnn Boulevard to the edge of the campus, at which point it would terminate into internal parking lots that are planned for the area. A corresponding amendment to the Thoroughfare Plan was then drafted and approved by both Planning Commission and the MPO Policy Board. This amendment eliminated Smith Boulevard between McGill Boulevard and Howard College's northern most property boundary. As a result, Howard College now seeks to encompass this property into its master plan.

General Information

Existing Zoning: Light Manufacturing (ML) & General Commercial (CG)

Existing Land Use: Howard College/West Texas Training Center and

vacant land Surrounding Zoning/Land Use: North: ML, CH Wall & Stewart Trucking, AEP Substation West: RM-1, PD Residences, Mobile Homes South: RS-1, RM-1,CG Residences, County Facility, Vacant Land East: ML Howard College & Highway 67

Storm Water/Drainage: Abandoning the street segment is not expected to create any storm water or drainage changes for the area so long as what was proposed at a development review meeting with city staff is followed through.

Topography: Abandoning the street is not expected to change

the topography of the area. Water/Sewer Utilities: A water easement needs to be retained until an

alternate route/easement is dedicated to ensure main(s) can be installed to connect McGill and Paulann Boulevards then continue northward.

Fire Protection: A dedicated, unobstructed easement to provide

fire apparatus and emergency vehicle access will be necessary to properly protect future expansion of the college.

Access Management: Abandoning the street is not anticipated to cause

any issues regarding property access as the college is the owner of property on both sides along the proposed abandonment.

Notification required: Yes Notifications Sent: 9 Received In favor 0 Received in opposition 0

Special Information

Private Utilities: Atmos energy has a gas line along the eastern

portion of this proposed abandonment and needs to retain a 20' open and unobstructed easement for future access.

Basis for Recommendation

This property will be much more valuable to the college than to the city as an unimproved street. There is no longer a collector street planned to run through the campus and the property will be best used as a portion of campus. The elimination of this street running through campus will be beneficial to the surrounding neighborhoods and to the campus. The safety of students on campus will certainly be improved as a result of this collector street being stopped at McGill Boulevard.

The master plan for Howard College encompasses this former street as a parking lot and free space for the campus. By abandoning this right-of-way, the property owner will be able to achieve a cohesive campus feel without the interruption of a collector street. This cohesion will help give the area a campus feel, which is indeed the intent of the applicant. Since the property is no longer necessary as a through street, staff has no objections to this right-of-way being abandoned. The city has no need for this property any longer as the Thoroughfare Plan for this area recently changed; as a result, staff is confident this property would be better for everyone as private property, even if there were two different owners adjacent to the abandonment area.

It is important to note that there are some utilities present in this

abandonment area. The open and unobstructed easements, recommended as staff conditions, alongside and through this proposed abandonment are necessary so that growth to the north of the property is not hindered in the future and so that adequate fire protection may be provided. Gas and water are essential portions of any development on the commercial or residential side and discontinuing their progress northward will have serious implications on future development. Open and unobstructed easements across this former street will need to be maintained so the facilities can be accessed, upgraded, and repaired in the future. The easements can be paved and parked over without any problem, however they do need to be kept free from buildings, fences, and structures so that future access can occur.

Proposed Conditions

1. Submission and approval of a site utility plan to the Water Utilities

Department including conveyance of easements for water utilities. 2. Maintain at least a 20' open and unobstructed temporary easement for

emergency vehicle access from McGill Boulevard northward throughout the entire abandonment. Upon completion of a permanent, paved fire lane extending through an approved route by the Fire Marshall for the City of San Angelo, in accordance with the International Fire Code, this temporary easement shall automatically cease to exist.

3. Access to the temporary fire access easement shall be blocked through

the use of removable bollards to limit traffic to emergency vehicles only and shall be signed accordingly. The location of the bollards shall be approved by the Fire Marshall for the City of San Angelo.

property; aerial photo, highlighting subject property; draft minutes from Planning Commission; and draft ordinance. Presentation: AJ Fawver, Planning Manager Reviewed by: AJ Fawver, AICP, Planning Manager 08/09/12

B. Smith Boulevard, northward approximately 1000 feet northward from McGill Boulevard: Howard College A request to abandon a street right-of-way on the following property: an 80’ wide portion of the unimproved public right-of-way for Smith Boulevard, extending approximately 1000’ northward from McGill Boulevard, immediately adjacent to property owned by Howard College in northeastern San Angelo. Jeff Hintz, Planner, came forward to present this item, consistent with the recommendation of approval, subject to conditions. Nine notifications were sent out on this request, with zero returned in favor or in opposition. As a result of the recent Thoroughfare Plan change, which eliminated the requirement for Smith Boulevard to act as an arterial street bisecting the campus, Howard College has requested this abandonment in order to continue their campus expansion over and across this area. Mr. Hintz showed some photos of the area and reviewed the options for the Commission. Mr. Hintz reviewed the chronological timeline of events that have transpired, leading up to this request, and including the involvement of COSADC, MPO, TxDOT, and City Council. Mr. Hintz reviewed the conditions staff is recommending for approval. These include an open and unobstructed easement for an existing gas line, submission and approval of a site utility plan by Water Utilities staff, and a 20' open & unobstructed easement for emergency vehicle access northward from McGill to the end of the section proposed for abandonment. There were no questions from the Commission. Leanne Byrd, Provost from Howard College, came forward to speak in favor of this request. She indicated that they are pleased with the direction this new campus expansion has taken. The Chairman asked if there were issues with the conditions proposed, and she stated her belief that they could work with those conditions. No one else came forward to speak on this item. Motion, to approve as presented, was made by Joe Grimes, and seconded by Sebastian Guerrero. The motion passed unanimously, 4-0.

History and Background:

General Information

Existing Zoning: General Commercial/Heavy Commercial (CG/CH) Existing Land Use: Commercial plaza Surrounding Zoning/Land Use: North: General Commercial/

Heavy Commercial (CG/CH)

Commercial plaza

West: Single-Family Residential (RS-1)

Parking and residential dwelling (The Salvation Army's Family Store within the plaza)

South: Low Rise Multi-Family Residential (RM-1)

Apartment complex

East: Low Rise Multi-Family Residential (RM-1)

Apartment complex (The Outdoorsman within the plaza)

Thoroughfares/Streets: W Beauregard Avenue is defined as

an “arterial street,” which is designed to connect collector streets to freeways and carries large volumes of traffic at high speeds. Access is secondary and mobility is the prime function of these streets.

N Pierce Street is defined as a “local

street,” which carries light neighborhood traffic at lower speeds and generally connects to collector streets.

Zoning History: In 1964, the property was zoned

Heavy Business (C-2), which is an equivalent to the current zoning.

Applicable Regulations: Section 408: Firearms Range

In all except ML and MH Districts, the following limitations shall apply to operation of firearms ranges; (1) Firearms ranges shall be completely enclosed within a building. (2) Any noise emanating from discharge of firearms shall not be audible beyond the boundaries of the lot or tract of land where the firearms range is located.

Development Standards: All required off-street parking and the

connection(s) to a public right-of-way are required to be paved.

Vision Plan Map: Neighborhood Center Related Comp Plan Excerpts: “Commercial properties tend to be

organized in a single use, isolated pattern of development. This form generates little synergy between businesses and land uses and often results in incompatibility.”

“Promote better transition between

nearby commercial and residential use of land and buildings.”

“Require a buffer separating

commercial, industrial, or

agricultural zoned lands from neighborhoods.”

“Establish transition areas between

commercial areas and nearby neighborhoods.”

“Organize commercial uses in nodes

to avoid deteriorating corridors.”

"Establish transition areas to better "scale-down" intensity of use from commercial centers to neighborhoods."

Special Information

Traffic Concerns: Bringing new use to an existing structure has the potential to bring additional traffic. W Beauregard Avenue is designed to accommodate appropriate commercial traffic.

Parking Requirements: Varies depending upon the use of the

property, there is sufficient parking available for this site.

Parking Provided: Parking for the proposed site is

designated for the parking lot in front of the building.

Density: Medium density commercial and

residential development surrounds the subject property.

Notification Required: Yes Notifications Sent: 43

Responses in Favor: 3 Responses in Opposition: 1

Analysis:

In order to approve this request, the City Council members are first required to find that:

1. Impacts Minimized. Whether and the extent to which the site plan minimizes adverse effects, including adverse visual impacts, on adjacent properties.

2. Consistent with Zoning Ordinance. Whether and the extent to which the proposed special use would conflict with any portion of this Zoning Ordinance, including the applicable zoning district intent statement.

3. Compatible with Surrounding Area. Whether and the extent to which the

proposed special use is compatible with existing and anticipated uses surrounding the subject land.

4. Traffic Circulation. Whether and the extent to which the proposed special use is likely to result in extraordinarily prolonged or recurrent congestion of surrounding streets, especially minor residential streets.

5. Effect on Natural Environment. Whether and the extent to which the proposed special use would result in significant adverse impacts on the natural environment, including but not limited to water or air quality, noise, stormwater management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands and the practical functioning of the natural environment.

6. Community Need. Whether and the extent to which the proposed special use addresses a demonstrated community need.

7. Development Patterns. Whether and the extent to which the proposed special use would result in a logical and orderly pattern of urban development in the community.

The staff recommendation is based upon the statements listed below. The proposed site is located in a commercial plaza at the corner of West Beauregard Avenue and South Pierce Street. The proponent wants to open a firearms range and meeting room. A meeting room would be allowed under the current zoning, and as such, the intent for a firearms range is the subject of this request. The proponent seeks to provide a shooting range for long guns and hand guns. The proponent would replace a vacant movie theater, located just east of The Outdoorsman (which primarily sells hunting gear and supplies) which complements with this firearms range proposal. A “Firearms Range”, as defined by the Zoning Ordinance, is an indoor facility used for discharging firearms, per Section 310. The use is not allowed by right in any zoning district; instead, it is only permissible with the approval of a Special Use, and even then, limited to the following districts: CG, CH, CBD, OW, ML, MH, CG/CH, and R&E.

In an effort to mitigate factors that may affect the surrounding properties, firearm ranges placed outside of Light Manufacturing (ML) and Heavy Manufacturing (MH) zoning districts must comply with certain regulations, as outlined in Section 408. Such regulations require that the range be completely enclosed within a building and that the sound from the discharges must not emanate beyond the boundaries of the lot. The surrounding walls, insulated by the adjoining stores, will act as a natural barrier to sound. The proponent will focus on sound abatement technology to provide further sound reduction for the site. With these safeguards, facilities of this nature will be able to blend well and in harmony with surrounding uses. The property is situated along West Beauregard Avenue, as part of an expansive commercial corridor that extends for many blocks, roughly from the site to the Concho River. Positioned along the western edge of the corridor, the plaza serves as a gateway to commerce in the area. North of the subject property is a similar plaza. Residences border the subject property to the west, characterized by an established residential neighborhood zoned Single-Family Residential (RS-1) and to south and east as apartments zoned Low Rise Multi-Family Residential (RM-1).

The Vision Plan calls for the area to be designated as “Neighborhood Center”. The intent for this category is to take on a more pedestrian-friendly character, where uses are integrated with and connected to their surroundings. Another key component is to cluster buildings to generate synergies between complementary uses, this proposal fits both of these principles. The proposal will be an amenity which will serve as entertainment in the area. The proposal replaces a vacant movie theater and would adjoin The Outdoorsman, an outdoor specialty store. The synergy between the related uses would enable cross-shopping and generate activity that will promote an area that is more interesting, safe and sustainable, reflective of the Vision Plan. With regards to traffic circulation, West Beauregard Avenue is as an arterial, designed to carry large volumes of traffic at high speeds. The proposal, similar to The Outdoorsman and the hair salon at the opposite end of the plaza, is considered a specialty venue where the focus is limited to small groups of people or selective clientele. Therefore, with that principle in mind, the expectation is that the site will be less trafficked and the roadway would be able to accommodate traffic generated from the site. Proposed Conditions

1. The proposed range must meet all requirements outlined in Section 408

of the Zoning Ordinance.

VII. Requests for approval of a special use. [Planning Commission makes recommendation; City Council has final authority for approval.] A. SU 12-01: Daryl Presley

a request for a Special Use to allow for a Firearms Range and Meeting Room in a General Commercial/ Heavy Commercial (CG/CH) zone on the following property:

2229 West Beauregard Avenue, located at the intersection of West Beauregard Avenue and North Pierce Street; more specifically occupying the Village Shopping Center Condo Subdivision, Block 25, Lots 5-8, in western San Angelo.

Kevin Boyd, Planner, came forward to present this request, consistent with the staff recommendation of approval.

43 notifications were sent out, with 3 received in favor and 0 received in opposition to the request. Mr. Boyd described and reviewed the uses in and around the area. The Vision Plan map calls for "neighborhood center" at this location, which is consistent with this Special Use, due to the mitigating factors planned, in staff's view. The proposed site is part of a larger strip center along an aging commercial corridor, in which there is some sizable vacant space. This proposal would occupy one of the now-vacant areas within this strip center, right next to the Outdoorsman, a business owned by the applicant. The current zoning of CG/CH allows uses much more intensive uses than the one proposed. The proponent also wants to have a "meeting area" in the facility, which is not the subject of this request since it is already allowed by right. The applicant intends to use sound abatement features to meet the requirement that noise not be audible outside the boundaries of the site. Mr. Boyd also reviewed the specific use standards already required in the Zoning Ordinance for firearms ranges. Traffic that would be generated is provided for adequately by the parking and street network in place. Darryl Presley, the applicant, came forward to speak in favor of the request. He wanted to add that retail sales will also be part of the request. He intends to build this range and believes that it will be a beneficial addition to the community. Joe Grimes asked if the building would be "bulletproof". All the lead will be kept inside and the modifications necessary to do so will be done in the current space, originally a movie theater. He has purchased the unit from the previous owner and he thinks it is a good fit for a firearms range. The chairman asked if he felt he was getting what he needed for the business, and he stated that he felt he was. Mr. Wynne asked what would be done in order to properly house the use. He will be using a commercial bullet trap that is an angled steel plate that contains 2-1/2' to 3' of material that will minimize lead dust and stops the bullets without much destructions. After 80,000 rounds, the lead will be removed and the backstop can be reused. He will be consulting with a company that provides commercial-grade equipment. Mr. Presley was fine with the conditions as outlined.

No one else came forward to speak in favor. No one came forward to speak in opposition to the request. Motion, to approve as presented, was made by Bill Wynne and seconded by Joe Grimes. The motion passed unanimously, 4-0.

(1) approve the proposed planned development as presented; or

(2) modify the proposed planned development with changes believed to be more appropriate; or

(3) deny the proposed planned development.

Recommendation: Planning staff recommends approving the proposed zone change to a Planned Development (PD). On August 20, 2012 Planning Commission recommended approving the Planned Development as presented by a vote of 4-0. History and Background:

General Information

Existing Zoning: a combination of Light Manufacturing (ML) and

General Commercial (CG) Existing Land Use: Howard College/West Texas Training Center and

vacant land Surrounding Zoning/Land Use: North: ML, CH Wall & Stewart Trucking, AEP Substation West: RM-1, PD Residences, Mobile Homes South: RS-1, RM-1,CG Residences, County Facility, Vacant Land East: ML Highway 67

Thoroughfares/Streets: Highway 67 is a freeway designed to carry heavy traffic at high speeds.

McGill Blvd is classified as a “collector” street which is designed to carry moderate traffic at moderate speeds.

Voight Blvd is classified as a “local” street which is

designed to carry light neighborhood traffic at lower speeds.

Smith Blvd is as yet unimproved in this area. The

Thoroughfare Plan for futures road improvements classifies Smith Blvd as a “collector” street. When it is completed it will carry moderate traffic at moderate speeds.

Zoning History: This property for the proposed campus was

annexed into the city and zoned in separate phases.

The property north of McGill Blvd between Voight Blvd and Smith Blvd was annexed into the city in 1984 and was temporarily zoned Single-Family Residential. In February 1985, case ZC1499 rezoned the lot Heavy Commercial. Then, in March 1985 case ZC1504 rezoned it again to General Commercial and it has been zoned that way ever since. The property north of McGill Blvd between Smith Blvd and Hwy 67 that is home to the current Howard College/WTTC building was annexed into the city in December 1997 and was zoned Light Manufacturing (case ZC97-44). It has remained that way ever since.

Applicable Regulations: Zoning Ordinance Section 306.A.1. “The purposes of the Planned Development District

include…allow diversification of uses, structures, and open spaces and to promote flexibility of design in a manner compatible with existing and allowed uses of land on adjacent properties.”

Section 306.A.4. “The purposes of the Planned Development District

include…promote the efficient use of land to facilitate a more economic arrangement of buildings, uses of land and utilities.”

Section 306.A.5. “The purposes of the Planned Development District

include… promote the development of vacant property within the presently developed urban area.”

Section 306.B.1. Allowed uses include “Any use or combination of

uses otherwise authorized by these zoning regulations…if such use or uses is consistent with, and meets the standards for, the concept plan and PD District approved by the City Council. Allowable uses shall be listed in a use schedule in the specific ordinance establishing each PD District.”

Section 306.B.2. “It is intended that PD Districts conform as closely as

possible to established zoning and subdivision regulations while still allowing maximum flexibility of design to make planned developments as desirable as possible.”

Section 306.B.3. “Conditions specified for the development of a PD

District shall be construed as conditions precedent to the granting of a Certificate of Occupancy by the Building Official and compliance as required by the City of San Angelo.”

Section 505.A.1. “If a Planned Development District ordinance does

not establish specific guidelines for land uses, landscaping, facade treatment, screening, setbacks, signage, parking, etc., then the minimum standards of the most similar district shall apply, based on an interpretation by the Planning Director.”

Vision Plan Map: Campus/Institutional and Commercial Comp Plan Excerpts: Comprehensive Plan 2009 Update Discovery, The Place, Institutional Campuses “institutions in cities the size of San Angelo are

typically the sole identity driver for the districts and neighborhoods where they are located. As such, the area immediately in and around the anchor assumes that identity as their theme.”

Discovery, The Place, Institutional Campuses “institutions are largely ignoring the community

around them and effectively operating as islands. Significant opportunities exist to reach out and create districts with complementary and auxiliary uses that

lend themselves to more attractive, pedestrian-friendly, walkable environments.”

Campus/Institutional, College/University Campus, Goal 1: Purpose: “To improve the standing of community centers and public facilities as pillars of their local neighborhoods and central features of the community as a whole.”

Vision Plan, Vision Plan Summary, Campus/Institutional, College/University Campus, Goal 1: “Increase the value of these facilities to their respective neighborhoods through public investment in street improvements, sidewalk construction, and similar infrastructure.”

“institutions, both academic and health care, have historically focused on, and master planned, entirely within their own boundaries…a select few cutting-edge institutions have re-oriented their consciousness, seeking out opportunities to be a “good neighbor,” to plan beyond their walls, and facilitate development of mixed-use environments within and adjacent to their boundaries.”

Visioning, Sub-District Concepts, Concept 3-

Isolated Institutional Campuses: “The City of San Angelo, together with…(key institutions), could plan…campus environments

beyond the “institutional walls,” allowing for a seamless and essential transition to adjacent neighborhoods”

Special Information

Traffic Concerns: While there is likely to be an increase in traffic as the campus expands, this will be quite some time in coming. In the interim, Smith Blvd will be improved from Gordon Blvd to Paulann Blvd. The campus is surrounded by “collector” streets and a freeway, all of which are appropriate to handle traffic generated by a college campus.

Parking Requirements: Please see Section 8 of the draft ordinance Notification Required: Yes Notifications Sent: 28


Analysis:

In order to approve this request, the City Council members are first required to find that: 1. Compatible with Plans and Policies. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible

with the Comprehensive Plan and any other land use policies adopted by the Planning Commission or City Council.

2. Consistent with Zoning Ordinance. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would conflict with any portion of this Zoning Ordinance.

3. Compatible with Surrounding Area. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land and is the appropriate zoning district for the land.

4. Changed Conditions. Whether and the extent to which there are changed conditions that require an amendment.

5. Effect on Natural Environment. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significant adverse impacts on the natural environment,

including but not limited to water and air quality, noise, storm water management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands and the practical functioning of the natural environment.

6. Community Need. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment addresses a demonstrated community need.

7. Development Patterns. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in a logical and orderly pattern of urban development in the community.

The staff recommendation is based upon the statements listed below.

Planning staff is recommending approval of this Planned Development (PD) District for several reasons. This proposed PD is compatible with the plans and policies of the City of San Angelo, is consistent with the City’s Zoning Ordinance, and will be compatible with the surrounding residential area in that it provides a needed transition from major highway traffic to single- and two-family living. This proposed PD will also fit in well with the development patterns the city desires in this area as called for and illustrated in the Comprehensive Plan and the Vision Map. Section 306.A. of the Zoning Ordinance speaks to the several purposes of a Planned Development (PD) District, specifically stating that such districts should, “promote the efficient use of land to facilitate a more economic arrangement of buildings, uses of land, and utilities…promote the development of vacant property within the presently developed urban area…allow diversification of uses, structures, and open spaces and to promote flexibility of design in a manner compatible with existing and allowed uses of land on adjacent properties.” This proposed PD will accomplish these purposes by providing consistent standards that offer the flexibility a campus needs to effectively and efficiently utilize its property, while ensuring that it is developed cohesively, thus creating a true sense of place. The campus will responsibly develop the large commercially zoned tract of vacant land nearest the residential neighborhood in a manner much more compatible than a large commercial development could be. It also provides known standards and a sense of security for the nearby residential development in knowing specifically what can occur on the property; alternatively, the ML zoning currently in place allows by right processing of building materials, metal fabrication, galvanizing and enameling, welding shops, heavy truck servicing, and paving contractors, among other things. Also, the CG zoning currently in place allows by right landscaping services, appliance repair, lube service facilities, vet clinics, and auto and boat dealers, in addition to other things. Creating a PD for the Howard College campus will ensure that standards are in place that will benefit not only Howard College but also the community as a whole. It significantly limits and dictates what activities can occur on the site. While it does specify material types for facades and signage, it does so in a way that allows changes and customization that will give enough flexibility to the college to accommodate branding changes, wayfinding plans, and the like. Zoning Ordinance section 306.B.1. states that allowed uses for a PD include, “Any use or combination of uses otherwise authorized by these zoning regulations…if such use or

uses is consistent with, and meets the standards for, the concept plan and PD District approved by the City Council.” The Comprehensive Plan calls for facilities like Howard College to strive “to improve the standing of community centers and public facilities as pillars of their local neighborhoods and central features of the community as a whole.” One of the most prominent strategies outlined in the Comprehensive Plan to accomplish these goals is “Increase the value of these facilities to their respective neighborhoods through public investment in street improvements, sidewalk construction, and similar infrastructure.” Another very important strategy is to plan “campus environments beyond the “institutional walls,” which will, “Increase communication and combine efforts to support redevelopment of [college]-purchased parcels to ensure compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods and the City’s plans for the area” and “encourage public-private partnerships.” This proposed PD is an attempt to create a cohesive, distinctive, attractive campus environment that complements the adjacent residential area, while moving toward full utilization of the vacant commercial property that Howard College owns. The draft ordinance’s Section 5 lists several primary and accessory uses that Planning staff has determined are appropriate for a college campus near a residential neighborhood. The draft ordinance also includes standards for the building facades, signage, landscaping, parking and loading space, and other development standards that will transition well into the adjacent residential neighborhood and help to buffer that neighborhood from the highway as well as the heavier commercial and industrial types of uses to the north. This proposed PD will result in changed conditions that will benefit the community as Howard College provides quality educational experiences to not only the San Angelo community but also the whole of Tom Green County. As Howard College expands so too do the educational opportunities for the community. The lots within the proposed PD boundaries currently have two different zoning classifications and, therefore, two different sets of regulations to follow which makes cohesive development of Howard College difficult. Additionally, the lot on which the current Howard facility is located is actually zoned Light Manufacturing (ML) which will prevent any expansion even on that one lot. A PD for the campus will benefit those who work at and attend Howard as well as those within the adjacent neighborhood as Howard College will provide an attractive buffer with many amenities. This proposed PD could also have a positive impact on the natural environment as extensive landscaping is proposed throughout the campus. It will also have a positive impact on the pedestrian environment as a walkable, easily navigable campus with landscaping and other pedestrian amenities will make for a pleasant pedestrian experience. For all of the reasons stated above, Planning staff is recommending approval of the proposed Planned Development District for the Howard College Campus.

A. PD 12-03: Howard College

A request for a zone change from a combination of Light Manufacturing (ML) and General Commercial (CG) to Planned Development (PD) District to allow for the expansion of the Howard College Campus:

3501 North US Highway 67 encompassing the area known as the Howard College, more specifically two tracts being 33.802 acres out of the J. Pointevent Survey 1113, Abstract 4873, and Paulann Park Addition, Section 3, Tract H, being 0.76 acre, and Paulann Park Addition, Section 3, Tract G, being the northwestern 0.145 acre, in northeast San Angelo.

Jeff Hintz, Planner, came forward to present this request, consistent with the staff recommendation of approval. 29 notifications were sent out on this request, with zero returned in favor or in opposition. Mr. Hintz explained that this PD was never finalized earlier in the year, and is being represented to the Commission with an updated concept plan (a required part of any application for Planned Development District). Mr. Hintz outlined the variety of zoning in the immediate area. Mr. Hintz also reviewed the options for the Commission. He reminded the Commission that they had previously approved the PD application unanimously by a vote of 6-0. Mr. Hintz reviewed the history of zoning changes in the area. Mr. Hintz explained that one zoning district would not be suitable for the wide variety of different uses, needs, and standards that the continued development of this campus would entail. This will provide a single, consistent zoning district for the college, with one set of standards to consult as they continue to grow; it also provides added mitigation features to minimize the effect of this expansion on adjacent properties and provide a set of expectations upon which they can reasonably rely. Mr. Hintz quickly summarized the subjects addressed within the PD ordinance. Mr. Hintz explained the difference between the intended immediate expansion as opposed to long-term expansion plans. There were no questions for staff. Leanne Byrd, Provost for Howard College, came forward to speak in favor of this request. They are very pleased with the modifications that have been made within the concept plan and emphasized the moving of the main entrance to the north rather than the south, next to the residences. She did state that the buildings in the immediate phase are planned to be built very quickly, along with a pedestrian access. Joe Grimes spoke to the roundabout and asked how the road would be constructed. Mrs. Byrd explained that COSADC has approved the street extension of both PaulAnn Boulevard and Smith Boulevard, to the edge of the campus. Mrs. Byrd responded to the Chairman's question about traffic issues along the eastern side of the campus, along Highway 277. TxDOT has agreed to extend the frontage road as far north as PaulAnn Blvd. There were no further questions for Mrs. Byrd. No one else came forward to speak on this request. No one came forward to speak in opposition to the request.

Motion, to approve as presented, was made by Bill Wynne and seconded by Sebastian Guerrero. The motion passed unanimously, 4-0.

Memo



From: Kevin Boyd, Planner

Subject: Z 12-09: Donald Spradley, a request for approval of a zone change from Two Family Residential (RS-2) to Neighborhood Commercial (CN) to allow for accessory parking on the following property:

Location: 13 West 11th Street, located approximately 160 feet west of

the intersection of North Chadbourne Street and West 11th Street; more specifically occupying the Miles Addition, Block 52, Lot 4, in central San Angelo.

Purpose: Approval of this request would zone the property

Neighborhood Commercial (CN).

Contacts: Donald A Spradley 325-655-5506

Kevin Boyd, Planner 325-657-4210

Caption: First Public Hearing and consideration of the Planning Commission’s recommendation modifying a request for a zone change from Two Family Residential (RS-2) to General Commercial (CG), alternatively recommending a zone change from Two Family Residential (RS-2) to Neighborhood Commercial (CN) with an introduction of an Ordinance amending Chapter 12, Exhibit “A” (Zoning Ordinance) of the Code of Ordinances, City of San Angelo

Z 12-09: Donald Spradley AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 12, EXHIBIT “A” OF THE

CODE OF ORDINANCES, CITY OF SAN ANGELO, TEXAS, WHICH SAID EXHIBIT “A” OF CHAPTER 12 ADOPTS ZONING REGULATIONS, USE DISTRICTS AND A ZONING MAP, IN ACCORDANCE WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, BY CHANGING

THE ZONING AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE FOLLOWING PROPERTY, TO WIT: 13 W 11th Street, located approximately 160 feet from the intersection of North Chadbourne Street and W 11th Street; more specifically occupying the Miles Addition, Block 52, Lot 4, in central San Angelo, changing the zoning classification from Two Family Residential (RS-2) to General Commercial (CG) District; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND PROVIDING A PENALTY


(1) Approve the proposed zone change; or (2) Modify the application to some alternative zoning classification believed to

be more appropriate; or

(3) Deny the proposed zone change.

Recommendation: Planning staff recommends modifying the proposed zone change to Neighborhood Commercial (CN). On August 20, 2012, the Planning Commission recommended modification of the original request of Two-Family Residential (RS-2) to Neighborhood Commercial (CN) by a vote of 4-0.

History and Background:

General Information

Existing Zoning: Two-Family Residential (RS-2) Existing Land Use: Mostly vacant property, occupied by a

shed Surrounding Zoning/Land Use: North: Two-Family Residential (RS-2) Residential dwelling West: Two-Family Residential (RS-2) Vacant residential property South: General Commercial / Heavy

Commercial (CG/CH) Culligan and Angelo Water Service Co.

East: General Commercial / Heavy Commercial (CG/CH)

Vacant commercial property

Thoroughfares/Streets: W 11th Street is defined as a “local street,” which carries light neighborhood traffic at lower speeds and generally connects to collector streets.

North Chadbourne Street is defined as an "arterial street," which is designed to connect collector streets to freeways and carries large volumes of traffic at high speeds. Access is secondary and mobility is the prime function of these streets.

Zoning History: As far back as 1964, the property was

zoned Two-Family Residential (R-2), an equivalent to the current zoning.

Applicable Regulations: Refer to off-street parking standards, per

Section 511. Development Standards: General Commercial (CG) requires a 25

feet front setback for commercial structures. No side or rear setback are required in commercial districts unless the lot abuts a residential district or use, where a minimum of 10 feet is required, per Section 502.

The maximum floor area or gross floor

area of all buildings on the lot divided by the total area of the lot in an area zoned CG is 2, twice the area of the lot, per Section 502.

Vision Plan Map: Commercial Related Comp Plan Excerpts: “Promote better transition between

nearby commercial and residential use of land and buildings.”

"Require a buffer separating commercial,

industrial, or agricultural zoned lands from neighborhoods."

“Establish transition areas between

commercial areas and nearby neighborhoods.”

Create new physical connections to

neighborhoods lined with transitional and intermediate uses."

Establish transition areas to better "scale-

down" intensity of use from commercial centers to neighborhoods."

Special Information

Traffic Concerns: Changing the zoning to commercial will increase the volume of traffic than if the property remained as-is. Since the lot is proposed to become a parking area, there will be an increase of traffic generated by the site.

Parking Requirements: This proposal would allow for parking

accessory to the proponent’s business; the business follows under the occupancy category of a furniture store and equates to 1 space per 400 gross square feet. See Section 511.

Parking Provided: Currently the lot stands mostly vacant, the

proposal is to create surface parking lot on the site in question, which would provide additional spaces for the proponent’s business located at the corner of North Chadbourne and 11th Streets.

Density: Surrounding uses are predominately

medium-density commercial, and residential. The plan complies with the Vision Plan, which calls for a continuation of the future development of this area as a “Commercial."

Notification Required: Yes Notifications Sent: 19


Analysis:

In order to approve this zone change request, the City Council members are first required to consider the following criteria:

1. Compatible with Plans and Policies. Whether the proposed amendment is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and any other land use policies adopted by the Planning Commission or City Council.

2. Consistent with Zoning Ordinance. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would conflict with any portion of this Zoning Ordinance.

3. Compatible with Surrounding Area. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land and is the appropriate zoning district for the land.

4. Changed Conditions. Whether and the extent to which there are changed conditions that require an amendment.

5. Effect on Natural Environment. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significant adverse impacts on the natural environment, including but not limited to water and air quality, noise, storm water management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands and the practical functioning of the natural environment.

6. Community Need. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment addresses a demonstrated community need.

7. Development Patterns. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in a logical and orderly pattern of urban development in the community.

The staff recommendation is based upon the statements listed below. In the initial request, the proponent asked for a zone change to a district that would allow “commercial parking”; however, after analyzing the site as well as surrounding uses, staff learned that the proponent owned the subject property and the vacant lot adjacent to his business. In this case, “commercial parking”, a category allowing for fee-based parking, would not be the appropriate use. Rather, it would simply need a change of zoning as similar to the zoning of the business as possible; thus, to allow a continuation of the business. Since CG/CH is a zoning type which is no longer utilized, CG is the most closely-matching zoning classification. Located in the Miles addition, the subject property is situated less than a couple hundred feet west of the intersection of West 11th and North Chadbourne Streets. The property is currently zoned residential and the existing use includes a shed which serves as an accessory structure. The request is a zone change from Two-Family Residential (RS-2) to General Commercial (CG) to allow for parking

accessory to the retail use - the proponent's business, Spradley's Custom Designs, is located at the corner of West 11th and North Chadbourne Streets. While North Chadbourne is clearly defined as a major commercial corridor, much of the 0 Block of West 11th Street is zoned for residential use. While lots to the north and west of the property are currently zoned residential, this portion of the block displays a lower density of housing units, characterized by vacant and partially vacant lots. There has been a transition of uses along the block. As a result, the boundary between the zones has become blurred, meaning that it is becoming more difficult to decipher residential properties from those that are commercial. A prime example of this transition was brought forth by the proponent. Prior to the case, the proponent and owner of the property, mentioned he had demolished a house that stood deteriorating on the lot for some time. Vacant and abandoned homes left unmaintained is a dangerous combination and serves as potential blight in the community, as demolition of such structures can generate an improved quality of living for residents of surrounding properties. The proponent’s decision to transform the deteriorating lot into something more useful and practical is a conscious step in revitalizing that section of the block. With processing the zone change, the proponent hopes to maintain the shed, which was located behind the house, on the lot as it currently stands. It is important that the proponent understands that, if the lot remains in a residential zoning district, the accessory structure must be removed; in residential districts, accessory structures are only allowed if they are accessory to a primary structure. While the proponent seeks to change the zoning to allow for parking accessory to the business, it is important to realize that General Commercial zoning allows for a wide range of commercial uses - any of which would be allowed on this site if the parking were not created, or if a different owner wished to do so in the future. It would also allow for a potential expansion of the commercial structure in which the proponent’s business currently exists. The allowed uses for the zoning district include business offices, retail sales, vehicle services (performed while the customer waits), small animal veterinary clinics, entertainment-oriented businesses and restaurants. For example, if the zone change requested is approved, placement of car wash would be an allowed with CG zoning. The Floor Area Ratio (FAR), or total area of buildable space for lots zoned General Commercial (CG), is 2, or twice the area of the lot, per Section 502 of the Zoning Ordinance. Immediately to the south of the subject property is zoned General Commercial/ Heavy Commercial (CG/ CH) and the existing uses are Culligan and Angelo Water Service Company, water and treatment facilities, not the ideal setting for nearby residential uses. The proponent’s business, Spradley’s Custom Designs, is located on North Chadbourne, in an area notorious for limited parking. The building is an older building that was built to the property lines at a time during which it was allowed.

It is located in an area in which infill development is desired and needed, in order to reverse the aging decline of this corridor and associated blight that can occur. This causes problems for potential tenants, who are required to provide the mandatory amount of off-street parking in order to open a business. While there are opportunities for shared parking arrangements along this corridor, they exist either outside of the required 400’ distance, or are along the opposite side of Chadbourne. The traffic is also heavy along North Chadbourne, being an arterial street, that it would not be a safe situation to encourage pedestrian crossing where there is not a designated traffic mechanism or crosswalk. For these reasons, having a designated parking area immediately adjacent to the business is the best solution. Regarding parking: in order to receive a Certificate of Occupancy for a new business, an applicant must provide adequate off-street parking, based on the occupancy category or use, per Section 511. The off-street parking mentioned in the section represents the minimum parking standards, and given that the proponent has an upholstery/furniture shop, his business would follow under furniture store which equates to 1 space per 400 gross square feet, per Section 511.

The Vision Plan calls for the property to be zoned for “Commercial”, consistent with current developmental patterns and the proponent’s request. Residential properties along West 11th Street, closest to North Chadbourne, are at a point of transition and the residential appearance of some of lots is no longer clearly defined. Current developmental trends, echoed by the Comprehensive Plan, denote that the residential blocks nearest to North Chadbourne to be dedicated for commercial use. Staff feels that a zone change to General Commercial (CG) would be an appropriate zone type as the block transitions. This zoning is not the most intensive of the commercial zones, yet would allow for some flexibility that zoning at lower tiers do not provide (refer to examples of allowed uses in paragraph that describes zoning). Considering the nature of this request, staff sees the obvious area of concern, the placement of commercial usage immediately adjacent to residential usage. This type of configuration can clearly create undesirable consequences on the residential inhabitants. However, staff would be remiss if it did not also consider the ill effects of having an opportunity to bolster and create more solid opportunities for the residential strip along North Chadbourne to once again grow and flourish. Staff would contend that the Comprehensive Plan also recognized this opportunity, and that this is why it calls for “commercial” at this and other similar locations; to create a solidified boundary between neighborhood and commercial uses, and to provide opportunities to supplement the aging buildings, making occupancy of them a possibility - augmenting and enhancing the possibilities for this corridor. As investment continues in the Chadbourne Street corridor just south of Houston Harte Expressway, and again at the far northern

end of the corridor, where public facilities exist, possibilities to revitalize older commercial structures in this area should be considered.

D. Z 12-09: Donald Spradley A request for approval of a zone change from Two Family Residential (RS-

2) to General Commercial (CG) to allow for accessory parking on the following property:

13 West 11th Street, located approximately 160 feet west of the intersection

of North Chadbourne Street and West 11th Street; more specifically occupying the Miles Addition, Block 52, Lot 4, in central San Angelo.

Kevin Boyd, Planner, came forward to present this request, consistent with the staff recommendation of denial. There were 19 notifications sent out, with 2 received in favor of the request, and 0 received in opposition of the request. This property is located in central San Angelo, just north of the downtown area. There is CG/CH zoning to the south and east of the subject property. The nearby residences have seen deterioration, and the line between neighborhood and commercial has blurred. Mr. Boyd also showed a map indicating the property owners who responded in favor of this request. He also showed an excerpt from the Vision Plan map, calling for this property to be zoned as "commercial". The zoning has remained the same for the subject property since at least 1964. Mr. Boyd explained that the original request on the application was for "commercial parking", which is a fee-based system. However, this parking is intended for the existing business, which would make it accessory to and allowed under "retail sales & service". He reviewed CG zoning and what it offers at the site. Approval of this request is supported by staff in part because it helps to promote infill development of the existing commercial structures nearby along Chadbourne. The area is an area of transition, and designating this lot for commercial development would promote improvement of the commercial buildings nearby. Joe Grimes asked about the commercial type of use being requested and whether or not it was considered intensive and noted his concern about the intensive nature of it abutting the residential zoning. There was some discussion of the initial application category "commercial parking" versus the intention "parking accessory to a commercial business". Don Spradley, the owner of the property, came forward to speak in favor of this request. He explained that his business has the required parking; however, to expand and use the rest of the building, or to sell the building for a retail use, off-street parking is necessary. He also explained that he purchased the adjacent lot and tore down the house on the site with the intention of using that for parking in the future to serve this facility. He doesn't intend to build anything on that property. No one else came forward to speak in favor of the request. No one came forward to speak in opposition of this item.

Motion, to approve to CN or Neighborhood Commercial zoning instead of CG or General Commercial zoning, was made by Joe Grimes and seconded by Sebastian Guerrero. The motion passed unanimously, 4-0.

Memo



From: Jeff Hintz, Planner Subject: Alley abandonment request on the following property:

Location: An approximately 10’ x 123’ portion of alley running east to west, perpendicular to Travis Street, between The Jacoby Addition, Block 1, Lot 1 and Lake View Addition, Block 40, Lots 5-7 in northern San Angelo.

Contacts: Karen Coates 325-653-7194 Jeff Hintz, Planner 325-657-4210

Caption: First Public Hearing and consideration of introduction of an Ordinance authorizing abandonment of public right-of-way in Lake View Addition Block 40 and the Jacoby Addition, Block 1 in northern San Angelo,



1. Approve the proposed abandonment; or

2. Approve the proposed abandonment subject to conditions; or

3. Deny the proposed abandonment.

Recommendation: City staff recommends approving the proposed alley abandonment for the reasons mentioned in this report. On August 20, 2012 the Planning Commission recommended approving this request by a vote of 4-0. History and Background:

The applicant came to staff in May of 2012 regarding the possibility of selling the property to a neighbor; as part of that transaction, there was a desire to for the purpose of building onto a house and fencing in this property. City records seemed to indicate the alley was abandoned and that the applicant owned property on both sides of the alley. Through the real estate transaction process, however, the applicant and city staff discovered no quit claim deed formally abandoning was ever recorded with the county. Subsequent and exhaustive searches of city planning records and the City Clerk's records did not result in the discovery of information showing this abandonment had taken place. A 1982 plat of the Jacoby Addition includes the southern five feet of the alley in Lot One of Block One in this plat. The tax records and ownership deed records also indicate the property to the north of the alleyway includes the north five feet of the alley. These legal descriptions of property (the plat) and tax records indicate what is actually owned. As a result of the plat and tax records, city staff is under the impression that the alley was likely abandoned, but had no formal quit claim document indicating that it indeed was. As a result, the abandonment process needs to take place to legally close the alley. When asking for the Mayor's signature on any quit claim deed, as is City policy, a copy of the action authorizing such a signature is also provided. Because of the circumstances on this matter, staff could produce no documentation of action by the City that would authorize this signature on its behalf. Finalizing this process now, however, will produce just that.

Special Information

Private Utilities: There are no private utilities located within this

alleyway. Abandoning this alley will not create a lack of service or availability of service for neighboring properties.

Basis for Recommendation

Given that this alley appears to be abandoned and there is no formal record of it, staff recommends having this recorded using today's procedures and processes to formally abandon the alley and document the process to prevent future problems with title runs or property transactions. While staff does not doubt the intent was to abandon this alley segment, there is no official record of it and the formal abandonment procedures need to occur. This process will provide the applicant the legal documentation necessary to complete the real estate transaction that is at hand. The applicant owns property on both sides of this alleyway and as such, can encompass the alley in its entirety into future plans.

The alley runs into what was designed to be a lake with a circle drive and

boulevards running up to it on all sides. The original concept of the plat was never fulfilled and as such, the proposed street surrounding the lake was abandoned, as was the additional right-of-way property for the boulevards. At the present moment, the lots have been divided up so that the alleyway does not give access to the rear of any property, but rather bisects one property owner's land. Even if this alley was not believed to have been considered for abandonment in the past, staff would still be recommending approval of this request as the alley is devoid of any

utilities and is not being utilized, nor does it benefit the public in any way. Staff believes this alleyway will be much more practical for the applicant and city as a portion of a lot than an alley. In examining these types of requests, the underlying concern for staff's recommendation is whether or not the maintaining of the alley in City hands is in the best interests of the public as a whole.

Even if there were different property owners on either side of the

unimproved alley, staff's recommendation would not change. The alley is un-used and provides no rear access to properties. The alley will be much more beneficial to private owners since it provides no rear access to property and is void of all utilities. There is one additional alley to the south of this circle configuration in Block 45 of the Lakeview Addition, it is also believed to be abandoned. The blocks to the east of the lake did not include platted alleyways as they were much smaller in size and number of lots created. The attached plat of the Lakeview Addition focuses on this general area and shows what the master plan at one time was. As time changed, the plan that was platted was never fulfilled. As a result, the unused alleyways, boulevards, and circular street area around the lake have been abandoned over time as the additional public property was no longer necessary for the city to maintain.

IV. Requests for Right-of-Way Abandonment. [Planning Commission makes recommendation; City Council has final authority for approval.]

A. Lakeview Addition, Block 40 and Jacoby Addition, Block 1: Karen Coates

A request to abandon an alley on the following property: An approximately 10’ x 123’ portion of alley running east to west, perpendicular to Travis Street, between The Jacoby Addition, Block 1, Lot 1 and Lake View Addition, Block 40, Lots 5-7 in northern San Angelo.

Jeff Hintz, Planner, came forward to present this case, subject to the staff recommendation of approval. Seven notifications were sent out on this request, with zero returned either in favor or in opposition. Mr. Hintz showed photos of the property, including the area which is the subject of the abandonment request. It is believed that the intent many years ago was to formally abandon it; however, there are no records of said abandonment. This will provide a legal basis for which to conduct a property transaction without problems with title and corresponding documents. Sebastian Guerrero asked if the proponent owned property on both sides of the alley. Mr. Hintz explained that it did. He also verified that no notifications were responded to and that private utility companies had no issue with the abandonment. Joe Grimes asked if there were any drainage issues created by a closure of this alley. There are not - this was reviewed by the Stormwater Engineer and found to be of no issue. Karen Coates, the owner of the adjacent property and the proponent of the request, came forward to speak in favor of the request. They have owned that property for some time and received a title opinion at that time. While the title company was able to find a plat document that indicated that the abandonment had been completed, they were unable to turn up any documentation regarding this alley segment. Joe Grimes asked Ms. Coates to clarify which property she owns. Bill Wynne asked about who owned Lot 4. Staff confirmed that the City of San Angelo owns Lot 4. Joe Grimes asked if the size of the abandonment could be increased; however, Ms. Fawver clarified that the Commission may only proceed with the property that was included in the notification. Betty Walker, who own lots on the other side of Travis, came forward to ask if a business could be put on the property. Staff explained that the zoning is residential. Motion, to approve as presented, was made by Bill Wynne and seconded by Joe Grimes. The motion passed unanimously, 4-0.

Status Update and Discussion of Avenue P Drainage Remediation Project

Summary:

The area around W. Avenue P has a history of severe flooding. In fact, the 2000 Master Drainage Plan prepared by Freese & Nichols, Inc. ranks this project as the #2 most recommended drainage improvement project in San Angelo. The current drainage issues along Avenue P are caused by excessive street flow and limited channel capacity downstream. Stormwater runoff in this area flows from over 430 acres and from as far away as Angelo State University.

Damages caused by the deep, swift water include stalled/flooded vehicles, numerous flooded homes and other property, and possible drowning. In addition, the flooding causes blocked travel paths that are especially important in the event of an emergency.

Options to mitigate this flooding include:

1. Purchasing all of the endangered homes in the vicinity and relocating the residents;

2. Directing most of the stormwater runoff underground all the way to W. Avenue R; and

3. Directing most of the stormwater runoff underground to and across S. Chadbourne St., discharging directly into the Red Arroyo.

Option 3 was selected due to cost savings while still providing a sensible solution to the problem. All of the runoff crossing under S. Bryant Blvd into W. Avenue P will be taken underground into a large storm drain running beneath W. Avenue P that will discharge on the east side of S. Chadbourne St. Inlets at most of the intersections along W. Avenue P will collect surface drainage from the neighborhood and route it into the main storm drain.

History: This project was ranked as the second-most recommended drainage improvement project in San Angelo by the City’s Master Drainage Plan prepared by Freese & Nichols, Inc. in 2000.

On September 19, 2011, Clinton Bailey, along with then-City Manager Harold

Dominguez and City Councilman Johnny Silvas, hosted a neighborhood meeting. Approximately 25 area residents were present to voice their concerns regarding the flooding. Solutions were discussed to alleviate property damage and mitigate health risks due to the area flooding.

At the City Council meeting on November 1, 2011, City Council approved funding for this project at $1.7 million for design and construction. Of that total, $700,000 was appropriated from the 2011-2012 budget, and $1 million was budgeted for the fiscal year 2012-2013.

Financial Impact: $1,700,000.00

Memo



From: AJ Fawver, Planning Manager

Subject: Amending standards for visual clearance on corner lots

Contacts: AJ Fawver, Planning Manager (325) 657-4210

As staff continues to see redevelopment occur in the downtown district, a section of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to vision clearance at intersections has come under some scrutiny. Article 5 of the Zoning Ordinance specifically exempts the Central Business District (CBD) zoning from a minimum required front yard. In addition, it goes on to exempt CBD zoning from minimum required side & rear yards if the lot does not adjoin or abut a residential district or use. The rationale behind this exemption is based on the fact that historical development was constructed in higher-density buildings that were often built to the property edges. Driving through the downtown area, many of these types of buildings are very visible. Traditionally, downtowns are also developed in such a way. This helps bring in new development that meshes with and matches the historic fabric unique to a city's core.

Section 510 establishes requirements for visual clearance on corner lots, for the safety of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. This standard requires that any structure within 30 feet of the intersection of the two street property lines be no taller than three feet in height. This standard works well in most instances, especially since all other zoning districts have minimum front and side yard requirements.

The problem lies in situations within the CBD where new construction is desired on corner lots. Though the requirement for minimum front yards is waived in this district, currently, no structure over three feet would be allowed to be built within this area; thus, the two requirements somewhat contradict one another. It is also important to keep in mind that the CBD is unique in terms of rather wide rights-of-way, and most intersections are signalized - this provides a control for traffic that could, in some instances, help to mitigate the safety issue enough to allow building within the vision clearance triangle. While this type of

development would not be appropriate in other zoning districts, where development has occurred in an orderly fashion with an expectation of open space, in an area where the feel and density levels are highest, it could be deemed appropriate. On corner lots with sidewalks, these sidewalks are relatively permanent in nature and help hold and maintain the swath of public right-of-way between the street edge and the property line - thus, keeping it open for view by traffic; this, in combination with a signalized intersection, permits efficient flow of traffic in a way that is safe.

As such, staff is recommending one change to the current requirements for vision clearance at intersections: to grant an exception, (as has been done with required minimum front and side yards) if the corner lot is at an intersection which is signalized and has unobstructed sidewalk areas at least 4' in width between the street edge and the building, along the two street property lines, for a distance of at least thirty feet from the intersection.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 12, EXHIBIT “A” ENTITLED “ZONING ORDINANCE”, ARTICLE 5 ENTITLED “GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS”, SECTION 510 ENTITLED “VISUAL CLEARANCE ON CORNER LOTS”, BY RESTATING SAID SECTION TO PROVIDE FOR AN EXCEPTION OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR MAINTENANCE OF A “SIGHT TRIANGLE” ON CERTAIN CORNER LOTS FOR THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

WHEREAS, the City of San Angelo Zoning Ordinance regulates the preservation of visual clearance by requiring minimum front yard setbacks and a “sight triangle” on corner lots throughout the city; and,

WHEREAS, the Central Business District (CBD) traditionally includes structures with sidewalks extending to the curb and otherwise without front yard setbacks; and,

WHEREAS, the CBD includes historical structures with sidewalks extending to the curb and otherwise without front yard setbacks; and,

WHEREAS, the CBD is exempt from the ordinance requirement for a minimum front yard setbacks for structures and therefore corner lots may not comply with the requirement for maintenance of a “sight triangle” on corner lots; and,

WHEREAS, the implementation of a front yard setback in the CBD for new development would be inconsistent with the development of the district in which the combination of wide streets, traffic signals and sidewalks provide sufficient corner lot visual clearance;


Section 1. THAT Chapter 12 “A” entitled “Zoning Ordinance”, Article 5 “entitled “General Development Standards”, Section 510 entitled “Visual Clearance on Corner Lots” is hereby restated to read as follows:

“Except for free-standing signs with appropriate visual clearance below the display area, any fence, structure, sign, tree or landscaping on a corner lot and situated within 30 feet of the intersection of the two street property lines shall not exceed a height of three feet, including topography, measured from the top of the street curb or, in the absence of a raised curb, 31/2 feet above elevation of the center of the pavement. For this purpose, the restricted area for visual clearance shall be considered as a triangle rather than an area bounded by an arc. Corner lots in the Central Business District (CBD) situated at signalized intersections and having unobstructed sidewalk areas similarly restricted for visual clearance and at least four feet

(4’) in width between the street edge and building along the two street property lines for a distance of at least thirty feet (30’) from the intersection are exempt from this restriction.”

Subject: Permission to enter into contract with Gateway

Planning Group for Lake Nasworthy plan Contacts: AJ Fawver, Planning Manager 657-4210

Caption: Consideration of authorizing the Interim City Manager or designee to execute a contract between Gateway Planning Group and the City of San Angelo to carry out services outlined in CED 05-11.

Summary: At the directive of City Council and the City Manager, the Planning Manager put together a RFQ (Request for Qualifications) and worked with the Purchasing Director to put this RFQ out to solicit responses from a variety of firms. Once a committee selected the most qualified firm to produce this plan, the Planning Manager asked the Council for permission to enter into negotiations with the firm, which was approved on February 21st. While the next step would technically be to approach the Council for permission to enter into a contract, staff believed there to be a legitimate benefit to first having a thorough presentation from the top ranked consulting group, discussing and identifying the costs, processes, services, expectations, and options for this project, to maintain a clear direction from the Council on how to move forward prior to entering into a contract. On May 14th, the consulting group presented this information to the selection committee, who ranked this group first, in order to obtain a recommendation for the Council to consider.

Background: Beginning in June of 2011, the City Council reviewed several items related to Lake Nasworthy; these included:

• an annexation of a now-defunct power plant located in the area; • amendments to ordinances regulating areas around Lake Nasworthy,

specifically those recreational in nature; • the entering into negotiations between the Parks Director and a firm

slated to provide an update to the Parks and Recreation Master Plan; • the hearing of zone changes in and around the Lake Nasworthy

addition; and, • discussions of investment in and around the Lake Nasworthy area to

capitalize on this asset.

In response to these continued discussions of the area, staff put together an RFQ that was published to solicit responses from firms with experience in master planning for areas with value in tourism, recreation, and who understood the unique characteristics of waterfront development. Seven firms submitted packages outlining their qualifications to complete and coordinate such a project. A selection committee consisting of the members listed below reviewed these packages and, based on their scores, narrowed down the list to three finalist groups.

• Paul Alexander, Council member, SMD 1; • Alvin New, Mayor; • AJ Fawver, Planning Manager; • Shawn Lewis, Director of Community & Economic Development; • Elizabeth Grindstaff, Assistant City Manager; and • Will Wilde, Director of Water Utilities.

Once a “short list” was determined, the three finalist firms were invited for interviews. As a requirement of the interview opportunity, the firms were asked to attend the public meeting being held by the Parks Department to solicit public input for their ongoing update to the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, specifically a discussion of Lake Nasworthy. The following day, interviews were held with each firm and a committee consisting of the members listed below, whose scores were combined to assess the most qualified of the firms.

• Paul Alexander, Council member, SMD 1; • Alvin New, Mayor; • Tad Logan, President, Lake Nasworthy Homeowners Association; • Tony Villarreal, COSADC; • Carl White, Parks Director;

• Lauren Shrum, Texas Outdoor Consulting (currently conducting the update to the Parks and Recreation Master Plan); and

• AJ Fawver, Planning Manager; • Shawn Lewis, Director of Community & Economic Development; and • Elizabeth Grindstaff, Assistant City Manager.

Gateway Planning Group’s presentation garnered responses from the committee regarding:

• their data-driven approach; • their business “matchmaking” abilities (connections with over 100

facilities); • their focus on public involvement; • their comprehension of the tourism component of the area paired

with the neighborhood component; • their extensive experience in waterfront planning and projects; • their personalized, detailed approach; and • their urge to make recreational opportunities year-round to maintain

flow of tourism; and, • their understanding of the market feasibility and market analysis.

On May 14th, Scott Polikov, from Gateway Planning Group, presented the scope and figures which were formulated through negotiations with Planning Manager AJ Fawver. The committee held discussion on the proposal and ultimately recommended that the Council approve and move forward with the approach, citing it as a worthwhile investment. On May 15th, City Council listened to a presentation by Ms. Fawver and Mr. Polikov, and ultimately gave direction to move forward with the proposed approach, scope, and price. The discussion also outlined the intent for this expenditure to come from the Lake Nasworthy fund, specifically. After putting together a draft contract, this draft was submitted for review by the City Attorney’s office. The City Attorney's office has worked with Gateway and other staff to complete a contract that is ready for execution once approval is given by Council.

DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION TO STAFF TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT FOR THE SUB-DISTRICT PLANNING DOCUMENT AS OUTLINED IN CED 05-11 FOR LAKE NASWORTHY Planning Manager AJ Fawver and Scott Polikov, AICP, CNU, and Dan Martin, Management & Marketing Feasibility Advisor, with Gateway Planning Group, presented background information. A copy of the presentation is part of the Permanent Supplemental Minute record. General discussion was held on the time frame for return on investment, opportunities, gateways, insuring plan is in line with the City’s current vision, example of current and past projects, and potential strong development plans. Council recognized the planning document was an expensive project and would be completed over a two year period. Discussion was held on marketing the city, implementing ways to attract people, showcasing the local water resources by truly developing and increasing the economic development; and investing in the process similar to the downtown area investments. Interim City Manager Michael Dane explained the project cost was $298K and the funding source would be allocated from the sale of lake properties. He stated the Lake Nasworthy trust fund and City are allowed to use 90% of the investment for improvements in and around the lake. Mr. Dane informed $840K remains in the investment income and these monies provide the least impact to the tax payers. Council directed staff to move forward and negotiate a contract.

Subject: Update on Master Developer Contacts: A J Fawver, Planning Manager 657-4210

Caption: Discussion regarding status of PL-01-12, an RFQ seeking to retain a

Master Developer for the purposes of overseeing development within the Downtown Development District

Summary: At the directive of the Downtown Development Commission, and following the requirements of the establishing ordinance for this group, City staff put together a RFQ (Request for Qualifications) and worked with the Purchasing Director to put this RFQ out to solicit responses from a variety of firms. Now that the Downtown Development Commission has interviewed and scored this submission/firm, and made a formal recommendation to Council to select Catalyst Urban Development as the candidate for this project, staff will be working with the DDC to develop a scope of service that can then lead to negotiations with the firm.

Background: Beginning in early 2011, discussion of the "master developer" concept began among City Council and City management. In October of 2011, an ordinance establishing the Downtown Development Commission (DDC) was approved. Following the compilation and approval of a draft downtown development plan in December of 2011, the DDC then began discussion of the next two duties assigned to them. The next task was to develop a scope of service for a downtown master developer; following that, the assignment was to solicit proposals for the selection of a master

developer and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the final selection. On January 31, 2012, the DDC instructed City staff to draft a scope of services for publishing and solicitation of applicants. In February, the DDC reviewed the package prepared by staff and directed staff to have the RFQ open for a period of 60 days. The following month, on April 13, the RFQ was published, with a deadline of June 7th. The package was published on the City website as well as two other websites which cater to planning and development consulting firms. The package was also sent to 26 firms with experience in a master developer arrangement. The week of June 7th, only one submission had been received, so the deadline was extended to June 21st. At the June 26th meeting of the DDC, staff distributed the submission packets to the Commission members. The Commission set their next meeting date for August 28th, and asked staff to make arrangements to have the consulting group attend for a presentation and interview. On August 28th, a representative from Catalyst Urban Development, Gateway Planning Group, and NE Development provided a presentation and interviewed with the DDC members. At the close of this meeting, the DDC members prepared score sheets and made a recommendation to be forward to the City Council that this group be selected for the task. At the next DDC meeting on September 25th, staff will begin discussion with the commission members to propose and refine a final scope of services and also begin a discussion regarding pricing of these services.

Update on the Self-Insurance Fund and consideration of authorizing the health insurance premiums for calendar year 2013.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Summary: Staff will provide an update of the self-insurance fund performance during calendar year 2012. Projections for 2013 indicate an increase in health insurance premiums would be required. Staff is recommending the use of $142,000 from the $343,288 Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP) to offset the projected increases for 2013.

History: Indications are that the efforts of the wellness program coupled with the single

plan provider option with San Angelo Community Medical Center have indeed delivered a savings to the self-insurance fund so far this calendar year. Per the ERRP federal statute 42 U.S.C. §18002(c)(4), the use of ERRP payments may be used to reduce premium costs for an employer and/or plan participants.

Financial Impact: None, as existing ERRP funds are being recommended to offset premium

increases. Attachments: None. Presented and Reviewed by: Lisa Marley, Director of Human Resources and Risk Management, September 13, 2012.

2012 Property Tax Rates in CITY OF SAN ANGELO This notice concerns the 2012 property tax rates for CITY OF SAN ANGELO. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is the actual tax rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This year's effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year's rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers start rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value. Last year's tax rate:

Last year's operating taxes $24,453,012

Last year's debt taxes $2,770,880

Last year's total taxes $27,223,892

Last year's tax base $3,463,599,491

Last year's total tax rate $0.78600/$100 This year's effective tax rate:

Last year's adjusted taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property)

$26,913,399

÷ This year's adjusted tax base (after subtracting value of new property)

$3,173,450,000

=This year's effective tax rate $0.84808/$100 (Maximum rate unless unit publishes notices and holds hearings.)

This year's rollback tax rate:

Last year's adjusted operating taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property and adjusting for any transferred function, tax increment financing, state criminal justice mandate, and/or enhanced indigent healthcare expenditures)

$24,150,075

÷ This year's adjusted tax base $3,173,450,000

=This year's effective operating rate $0.76100/$100

x 1.08=this year's maximum operating rate $0.82188/$100

+ This year's debt rate $0.08510/$100

= This year's total rollback rate $0.90698/$100 Statement of Increase/Decrease

If CITY OF SAN ANGELO adopts a 2012 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of $0.84808 per $100 of value, taxes would increase compared to 2011 taxes by $63,632.

Schedule A - Unencumbered Fund Balance The following estimated balances will be left in the unit's property tax accounts at the end of the fiscal year. These balances are not encumbered by a corresponding debt obligation. Type of Property Tax Fund Balance Maintenance & Operating 5,319,24 9

The City of San Angelo offers a number of ways for its citizens to become actively involved in government business. In addition to the opportunity citizens have to express their thoughts at City Council meetings and public hearings, San Angelo citizens also may apply to serve on one or many boards and commissions (some restriction apply). Unless otherwise stated, all vacancies are by appointment and approved by the City Council.

Since 2008, several discussions have been held on number of City boards & Commissions (B&C), the overlapping interests and approval authority of the boards, and establishing ways to reformulate the appointment structure, including the vetting process, appointments as an individual elected official or as a governmental body, board member terms and whether to coincide the board terms with an elected official’s term, and conducting a formal orientation procedure for existing and new board members. To date, several boards have been consolidated and are outlined in the Executive Summary.

The Board Misc. Info. report provides the individual term limit and the month in which a board member’s term expires. Term limits vary from 2 to 4 years and are outlined in the respective board’s ordinance.

The intent of this uniform policy is to establish a process for newly elected City Council members to review and declare the various B&C seats as vacated since the members of the advisory B&C serve at the pleasure of the Council under each of the ordinances establishing the respective board. The effect would be to link the B&C member terms to the City Council member’s term.

History: See Executive Summary

Financial Impact: Reduction in liaison and related staff time in coordinating and conducting meetings as well as the customer’

s time in presenting their issues and concerns to more than one board with overlapping functions.

Consideration of approving matters related to the filling and operation of city fountains, water lily basins and Love Municipal Pool and the watering of trees during Drought Level III.

Summary: Staff seeks Council’s direction with matters related to the filling and operation of city fountains, water lily basins and Love Municipal Pool and the watering of trees during Drought Level III.

One of the prohibitions in the Drought Contingency Plan Ordinance for Drought Level III is as follows: “The use of treated or raw city water to fill, refill or maintain the level of any fountain or swimming pool is prohibited.”

This affects the following park water features:

• Tiered Plaza fountains • UCRA educational ponds • Visitors’ Center fountains • River fountains (central pumping station) – River Improvement Project • International Water Lily Collection • Love Municipal Pool

Staff sees no issues with shutting down the Tiered Plaza fountains, UCRA educational ponds and the Visitors’ Center fountains. Our only recommendation here is that if we inactivate these features, they should be completely drained.

Staff recommends the International Water Lily Collection and Love Municipal Pool be allowed to be kept filled with water from City water wells transferred from the wells to the water features, via truck, trailer and tank, on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule.

Staff recommends the Love Municipal Pool be kept filled to prevent the new plaster and tile from being ruined and destroying the integrity of the pool. Water should remain in the water lily basins to prevent cracks and to preserve the vitality of the collection.

Staff recommends watering the downtown riverside trees (trees along the North

Concho River on City property from Harris Street to Concho Avenue) and other high priority trees at least once every two weeks via drip irrigation from a trailer mounted water tank that would be filled with water from City water wells.

History: There is no previous history associated with this item.

Financial Impact: The City incurs no new cost associated with this item.
