instruction in all aspects of rappelling, climbing and fast roping. Students will have to pass a proficiency test at the end of first day in order to proceed with the rest of the week of

instruction. Students must demonstrate a working knowledge of rappelling and all applications.

Instructor:

Officer Gary Heath has been with the Houston Police Department since 1991. He has worked Night Shift Patrol, a patrol division Tactical Unit and has served on the HPD

SWAT Detail full time since 1999. Officer Heath currently serves as an Entry Team Leader. During his career Officer Heath has responded to hundreds of special threat

situations and high risk warrant service. Officer Heath has received numerous commendations for his actions and is a certified TCOLE instructor and TCOLE firearms instructor.

Officer Heath is also a certified instructor in impact munitions, diversionary devices, chemical agents, active shooter, shotgun breaching, live fire shoothouse and a rappel

Shoothouse Instructor and High Risk Warrant Service with STG.

The TTPOA has contracted with several police agencies from the Houston area, who will provide rappel masters to assist in this course. This agreement will provide students

with a broad range of ideas and information from across the State, as well as very little "down time" caused by waiting on the instructors. This course will be information

intensive and you will rappel and climb on many different types of structures in many different types of environments. We will stress "real world" elavated insertion.

D. Future Land Plan Consistency A review of the adopted City of Brownsville Comprehensive Plan and its Future Land Use Plan indicates that the subject property is located within the “Transition West District”. According to this plan, the Transition West District is primarily residential, with an average density of 2 dwelling units per acre. Residential uses should be mostly single family homes, with a range of lot sizes from 0.20 acres to 3.33 acres. Some duplexes or triplex homes, as well as some larger lots would also be appropriate. It is the opinion of staff that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan.

E. Review Criteria D. Comprehensive Plan Consistency Is the proposed amendment consistent with all applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan? It is the opinion of staff that the request is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan.

Will the proposed district amendment be compatible with the character of the existing land uses in the adjacent and surrounding area and the peculiar suitability of the property for the proposed zoning use? The area surrounding the subject property is developed primarily of single family homes. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning/use would generally be compatible.

Will the proposed amendment result in significant or burdensome demands on existing public facilities? It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning/use would not create significant or burdensome demands on public facilities such as water, wastewater, transportation, or schools.

Will the proposed amendment result in logical, timely and orderly development patterns that preserve the value of existing development? It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning/use would generally complement existing development and it would not have adverse impacts on area property values.

F. Staff Recommendation

Based upon the analysis presented in this report and based on observations from the Planning Department staff, staff recommends to support the request to rezone from “Dwelling G” to “Apartment H” with a Conditional Use overlay to permit a maximum of 650 units.

Staff Report

A. Application Information Applicant/Property Owner: 5500 Paredes Line LP Property ID: 77-4790-0000-0090-00 Case Number: 235-2017-015 Application Type: Rezoning Proposed Use: Current Zoning District: Medium Retail “Z” Proposed Zoning District: General Retail “G” Date Application Submitted: January 13, 2017 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Date: February 9, 2017 City Commission Meeting Dates: February 21, 2017 & March 7, 2017 City Commission District: 3 Overlay in area: O51

B. Application Type/Background The applicant is requesting to rezone 1.04 acres from “Medium Retail Z” to “General Retail G”.

C. Subject Property

The subject property is located on Lot 9 of Pomelos Subdivision. This property is fronting Paredes Line Road, a primary arterial. Single family and retail are the existing land uses within the subject property’s immediate area. There are no major transportation improvements planned or programmed in the immediate area. The area is served with water and wastewater by the Brownsville Public Utilities Board (PUB).

Existing land uses abutting the subject property are identified below and illustrated in Figure 2.

x North of the subject property are single family homes and businesses. x East of the subject property are single family homes. x South of the subject property is a bank and retail plazas. x West of the subject property is vacant.

Figure 1: Existing Zoning Map The following map illustrates existing zoning of the subject property and properties within the immediate area.

Figure 2: Existing Land Use Map The following map illustrates existing land uses surrounding the subject property.

Dwelling: single family homes

Medium retail: daycare and businesses

Subject Dwelling: single General retail: property vacant family homes

General Retail: Bank, retail plaza

D. Future Land Plan Consistency A review of the adopted City of Brownsville Comprehensive Plan and its Future Land Use Plan indicates that the subject property is located within the “Sub-Regional Node”. According to this plan, commercial land uses and residential land uses are well balanced in the Sub-Regional Nodes so that neither use category should take prominence over the other. Community facility and institutional uses are also present to support the residential nature of the Nodes and surrounding districts. Flexibility is permitted, primarily for commercial uses and to increase residential uses, in order to allow differentiation between the Nodes based on their individual settings and the needs of local residents. It is the opinion of staff that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan.

Figure 3: Future Land Use Map (Sub-Regional Node) The following map illustrates the Future Land Use Map. The subject property is within the Sub- Regional Node.

Will the proposed district amendment be compatible with the character of the existing land uses in the adjacent and surrounding area and the peculiar suitability of the property for the proposed zoning use? The area surrounding the subject property is primarily developed of single family and retail. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning/use would generally be compatible.

F. Staff Recommendation

Based upon the analysis presented in this report and based on observations from the Planning Department staff, staff recommends to support the request to rezone from “Medium Retail Z” to “General Retail G”.

Staff Report

A. Application Information Applicant/Property Owner: Julie Ann Salinas Property ID: 01-0000-2460-0050-00 Case Number: 235-2017-018 Application Type: Rezoning Proposed Use: Multifamily Current Zoning District: General Retail “F” Proposed Zoning District: Apartment “H” Date Application Submitted: January 24, 2017 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Date: March 9, 2017 City Commission Meeting Dates: March 21, 2017 & April 4, 2017 City Commission District: 4 Overlay in area: O11

B. Application Type/Background The applicant is requesting to rezone 0.13 acres from “General Retail F” to “Apartment H”.

C. Subject Property

The subject property is located on Lot 5, Block 246 of Brownsville Original Townsite. This property is fronting Ringgold Street, a collector roadway. Single family and retail are the existing land uses within the subject property’s immediate area. There are no major transportation improvements planned or programmed in the immediate area. The area is served with water and wastewater by the Brownsville Public Utilities Board (PUB).

Existing land uses abutting the subject property are identified below and illustrated in Figure 2.

x North of the subject property are single family homes. x East of the subject property are single family homes and multifamily. x South of the subject property are single family homes, a torilleria, and a restaurant. x West of the subject property are single family homes and a law office.

Figure 1: Existing Zoning Map The following map illustrates existing zoning of the subject property and properties within the immediate area.

x North: General Retail x South: General Retail x East: General Retail x West: General Retail

Figure 2: Existing Land Use Map The following map illustrates existing land uses surrounding the subject property.

General Retail: single family homes

General Retail: single family General Retail: Subject homes and single family homes property multifamily and a law office

General Retail: single family homes, a torilleria, and a restaurant

D. Future Land Plan Consistency A review of the adopted City of Brownsville Comprehensive Plan and its Future Land Use Plan indicates that the subject property is located within the “Gateway Corridor”. According to this plan, residential land uses should be predominant in the Gateway Corridors, with very limited amounts of other uses. Average densities should be 0.25 dwelling units per acre, which signifies large lot sizes, ranch and agricultural uses, and some single family homes. The small amount of commercial, institutional, community facility, and industrial land uses permitted should be minimally intrusive on the landscape, be small in scale and form, and be tailored to the more rural environment of the module. Little flexibility is permitted, in order to maintain the rural and residential character of the Gateway Corridors. It is the opinion of staff that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan.

Figure 3: Future Land Use Map (Gateway Corridor) The following map illustrates the Future Land Use Map. The subject property is within the Gateway Corridor.

Will the proposed district amendment be compatible with the character of the existing land uses in the adjacent and surrounding area and the peculiar suitability of the property for the proposed zoning use? The area surrounding the subject property is primarily developed of single family and retail. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning/use would generally be compatible.

F. Staff Recommendation

Based upon the analysis presented in this report and based on observations from the Planning Department staff, staff recommends to support the request to rezone from “General Retail F” to “General Retail H” . Submit AGENDA REQUEST FORM Item Number: ______

Staff Report

A. Application Information Applicant/Property Owner: Magdalena Galindo Property ID: 01-9110-0050-0020-00 Case Number: 235-2017-020 Application Type: Rezoning Proposed Use: Current Zoning District: Dwelling “A” Proposed Zoning District: Dwelling “G” Date Application Submitted: February 6, 2017 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Date: March 9, 2017 City Commission Meeting Dates: March 21, 2017 & April 4, 2017 City Commission District: 3 Overlay in area: O33

B. Application Type/Background The applicant is requesting to rezone 0.13 acres from “Dwelling A” to “Dwelling G”.

C. Subject Property

The subject property is located on Lot 2, Block 5 of Brownsville Country Club Subdivision. This property is fronting Irapuato Court, a local roadway. Single family homes are the existing land uses within the subject property’s immediate area. There are no major transportation improvements planned or programmed in the immediate area. The area is served with water and wastewater by the Brownsville Public Utilities Board (PUB).

Existing land uses abutting the subject property are identified below and illustrated in Figure 2.

x North of the subject property are single family homes. x East of the subject property are single family homes. x South of the subject property are single family homes. x West of the subject property are single family homes.

Figure 2: Existing Land Use Map The following map illustrates existing land uses surrounding the subject property.

Dwelling: single family homes

Subject Dwelling: single Dwelling: single family homes family homes property General retail: self-storage

Dwelling: single family homes

D. Future Land Plan Consistency A review of the adopted City of Brownsville Comprehensive Plan and its Future Land Use Plan indicates that the subject property is located within the “Transition Central District”. According to this plan, the Central Transition District is comprised of slightly less residential and slightly more industrial land uses than the West Transition District, in keeping with its proximity to the Employment Hub District. The average residential density of the District should be 2 dwelling units per acre and consist primarily of single family homes. It is the opinion of staff that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan.

Figure 3: Future Land Use Map (Transition Central District) The following map illustrates the Future Land Use Map. The subject property is within the Transition Central District.

Will the proposed district amendment be compatible with the character of the existing land uses in the adjacent and surrounding area and the peculiar suitability of the property for the proposed zoning use? The area surrounding the subject property is primarily developed of single family homes. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning/use would generally be compatible.

F. Staff Recommendation

Staff Report

A. Application Information Applicant/Property Owner: James Breidenbach Property ID: 01-5690-0230-0020-00 Case Number: 235-2017-024 Application Type: Rezoning Proposed Use: Apartments (3 units) Current Zoning District: General Retail “F” Proposed Zoning District: General Retail “H” Date Application Submitted: February 10, 2017 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Date: March 9, 2017 City Commission Meeting Dates: March 21, 2017 & April 4, 2017 City Commission District: 1 Overlay in area: O11

B. Application Type/Background The applicant is requesting to rezone .13 acres from “General Retail F” to “General Retail H”.

C. Subject Property

The subject property is located on Lot 2, Block 23 of Paredes Tract Addition Subdivision. This property is fronting E. Tyler, a local roadway. Single family homes, multifamily, and businesses are the existing land uses within the subject property’s immediate area. There are no major transportation improvements planned or programmed in the immediate area. The area is served with water and wastewater by the Brownsville Public Utilities Board (PUB).

Existing land uses abutting the subject property are identified below and illustrated in Figure 2.

x North of the subject property are single family homes and a Church. x East of the subject property is a tire shop and Buena Vida (apartments). x South of the subject property are single family homes and a tortilleria. x West of the subject property are single family homes, duplexes, and a funeral business.

Figure 1: Existing Zoning Map The following map illustrates existing zoning of the subject property and properties within the immediate area.

x North: General Retail x South: General Retail and Apartment x East: General Retail and Apartment x West: General Retail

Figure 2: Existing Land Use Map The following map illustrates existing land uses surrounding the subject property.

General Retail: single family and a Church

General Retail: General Retail: Tire shop duplexes, single family, funeral Apartments business Subject (Buena Vida) property

Apartment: single family homes and a tortilleria

D. Future Land Plan Consistency A review of the adopted City of Brownsville Comprehensive Plan and its Future Land Use Plan indicates that the subject property is located within the “Downtown Node”. According to this plan, commercial land uses are the most dominant in the Downtown Node, and residential, community facilities, and institutional uses are also present. No industrial land uses should be allowed in the Downtown Node. The average density of residential land uses for the entire Downtown Node should be 21 dwelling units per acre, which represents primarily urban and attached residential forms. It is the opinion of staff that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan.

Figure 3: Future Land Use Map (Downtown Node) The following map illustrates the Future Land Use Map. The subject property is within the Downtown Node.

Will the proposed district amendment be compatible with the character of the existing land uses in the adjacent and surrounding area and the peculiar suitability of the property for the proposed zoning use? The area surrounding the subject property is primarily developed of single family homes, multifamily, and businesses. It is the opinion of staff that the proposed zoning/use would generally be compatible.

The following provides an outline of the services to be provided by the ENGINEER (Aldana Engineering & Traffic Design) in developing Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PS&E) for the proposed construction of traffic signal improvements at the intersections of Price Rd. and Eagle Dr. East and Price Rd. @ Eagle Dr. West in the City of Brownsville, Texas.

The Engineer will prepare Plans, Specifications and Estimate for the design of signal improvements at these two intersections.

The Engineer shall perform several engineering tasks necessary to complete this PS&E Project. The Engineer will perform the following tasks:

Task A – Traffic Data Collection The Engineer will perform traffic movement counts during the AM and PM peak hours for the following intersection: • Price Rd at Eagle Dr. East • Price Rd at Eagle Dr. West The data will be presented in a table form, tabulated in 15-minute intervals, indicating all the turning movements during the AM and PM peak periods. Counts will be performed during typical weekday peak hours. The Engineer will also collect existing lane geometry and other roadway information. This information will be used for development of initial traffic signal phasing and timing plans.

Task B – Preliminary Engineering The Engineer will secure a CADD File containing the intersection topography. The CADD file will include the following items: • Topography • Existing Drainage Structures • Existing Utilities (Under and Above Ground) • Existing Driveways • Existing Lighting • Existing ROW The Engineer will utilize the CADD file in the development of existing condition diagrams. This will enable the Engineer to assess any potential conflicts that may exist with proposed traffic signal improvements. The Engineer will use the existing conditions layout as a base for the development of a preliminary improvement layout for review and approval.

Task C – Traffic Signal Design PS&E • The Engineer shall prepare plans and detailed drawings for traffic signal improvements at the intersections of Price Rd at Eagle Dr. East and West.

ALDANA ENGINEERING & TRAFFIC DESIGN This existing intersections are presently signalized. The existing temporary traffic signals will be removed and proposed traffic signals will include traffic signal poles and arms, traffic signal controller & cabinet, foundations, the use of VIVDS for vehicle detection, LED lenses for all vehicular and pedestrian signal heads, countdown type pedestrian signal indications, and any required access sidewalks that adhere ADA requirements. Traffic Signalization plans shall be designed in conformance with City requirements, including any appropriate Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) design considerations. The Engineer's plan layouts shall be prepared in English units on 1” = 50’ half scale single-banked drawings for traffic signals. Traffic signal plans shall generally consist of the following drawings:

 Plan Layouts (to specify proposed signal improvements, including signal heads, detection and electrical schedules, phasing diagram, etc.)  Traffic Signal General Notes (to provide guidance in constructing the proposed traffic signal).  Traffic Signal Basis of Estimate (for all materials required at each intersection).  Standard Detail Drawings (for traffic signal installation).  Cost Estimate (provide preliminary construction cost estimate).  Electrical Service Data & Summary (for electrical service pole and disconnect information).

The Engineer will also include drawings depicting all existing and proposed permanent pavement markings. Engineer shall design permanent signing and marking in accordance with the Latest Edition of the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for Streets and Highways. Pavement marking plan layouts shall be prepared in English units on 1” = 50’ half scale double-banked drawings. All striping material shall be specified as thermoplastic, and buttons graphically depicted independent of thermoplastic stripe. Permanent signing and striping design shall consist of the following drawings:

 Signing and Marking Layouts (to identify all existing signs to remain, signs to be removed or relocated, all proposed signs and all proposed marking).  Intersection Marking Details (for all special marking as required at the intersections in the project).  Pavement Marking Basis of Estimate (for all marking devices and materials).  Small Sign Summary (to identify all proposed small signs and mounting materials).  Small Signs to be Removed Summary (to identify all small signs to be removed and/or relocated).  Standard Detail Drawings (for permanent signing and marking). • Specification Data & Cost Estimate (provide preliminary and Engineer’s Probable construction cost estimate)
