The City was contacted by a representative of EMAX General Contractors, Inc., regarding the possible purchase of the old Fire Station No. 5 property. However, an elevated storage tank is located on a portion such property, therefore, the City was not willing to sell the entire tract. The City and EMAX entered into an agreement to have that portion of the property not containing the tower appraised at EMAX's expense.

ORDINANCE NO.11,823

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY ON WHICH THE OLD FIRE STATION NO. 5 IS LOCATED AT 7210 BAYWAY DRIVE TO NAVARRE-ROBBINS PARTNERSHIP FOR FIFTY-ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($51,500.00), CONTINGENT UPON A PLAT ACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY MANAGER AND APPROVED BY THE BAYTOWN PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. b. Consider Authorizing Partial Release of Retainage to Angel Brothers Enterprises, Ltd., for the Hunt Road Extension Phase 1 Project - Engineering.

City Manager Leiper presented the agenda item and stated that Ordinance No.11,824 authorizes a partial release of retainage in the amount of $29,027.17 to Angel Brothers Enterprises, Ltd., for the Hunt Road Extension Phase 1 Project. The Hunt Road Extension Phase 1 Project extended and/or widened Hunt Road approximately 1,000 linear feet to the west of Garth Road and approximately 300 linear feet to the east of Garth Road. The original contract price of this project was $1,098,072.00. To date, change orders totaling $196,513.00 (adding the traffic signal to this contract) have been approved by the City Manager and/or the City Council. Therefore, the current contract cost is $1,294,585.00.

This construction project is complete with the exception of 400 linear feet of roadway and utility extensions (or approximately 75 % of the project) which is from the main Academy driveway on Hunt Road to Academy's western property line. The disagreement with a pipeline company regarding the party responsible to pay for lowering its pipeline in the vicinity is preventing this remaining portion from being constructed.

Since the completed portion of the project is operational and deemed acceptable, Angel Brothers Enterprise, Ltd. has requested that the retainage for only the completed portion of the project be reduced from 5% to 2%. As neither the City nor Angel Brothers Enterprises, Ltd. is responsible for this construction delay, staff is agreeable with reducing the retainage for only the completed portion of the project to 2%. The remaining retainage will be held in typical fashion until the construction project is 100% complete and eligible to be closed out. To date, the contractor has been paid $887,607.16. When the project is completed the contractor will be paid the balance of the contract amount or approximately $400,000. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 12, 2012 Page 6 of 30

Consider Amending Chapter 14 to Address the Classifying of Dangerous Animals and their Impoundment and Disposition - Health & EMS.

City Manager Leiper presented the agenda item. Mr. Mike Lester stated that Ordinance No.11,826 amends Chapter 14 "Animals” of the Code of Ordinances, Baytown, Texas, to add a new article to be numbered and entitled Article V "Dangerous Animals" to address the classifying of dangerous animals and their impoundment and disposition. Mr. Lester stated that this proposed new article to Chapter 14 reflects the State of Texas "Dangerous Dog" Law with the following significant modifications:

 refers to "animals" in general and not solely dogs;  includes attacks by an animal on another animal and not solely humans; and  requires the Animal Control Authority to report the incident to the municipal court for a hearing if the Animal Control Authority believes the animal is a dangerous animal.

The Animal Control Advisory Committee reviewed the proposed ordinance at its meeting on January 4th and recommends approval of the same.

During the discussion, there was an inquiry of this possibly overloading the municipal courts. City Manager Leiper stated that once a call is made in regards to an animal running loose, staff always tries to work with the owner before it goes to the court, so he didn't feel it would overload the municipal court.

Appreciate diversity. Value others by listening. Detail in the box below their accomplishments this month. There is a little known team in City Hall, the IKE CDBG team, with two special members: Tiffany Foster and John Dupuis (an unlikely pair). These two have worked since December 2008 on the IKE CDBG grant funding for the city of Baytown. (Teamwork) The first round netted $9 million for the city which we are using for generators for lift stations and for hardening critical buildings (that means roof improvements, shutters and the like).

The State of Texas has passed this program in its three years of life from TDHCA (Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs), to TDRA (Texas Department of Rural Affairs) and now to GLO (General Land Office). In the midst of preparing our application for over $15 million for a reconstruction of the central wastewater treatment plant (to remove it from the floodplain), the State transferred the program from TDRA to GLO. These two professionals galloped through the triple learning curves of three agencies. Our intrepid planner and engineer didn’t loose a beat however and kept our applications moving forward. The city just received in December the document confirming that we have been awarded the $15 million grant.

Why does this warrant consideration for team of the month? Tiffany has another job: she’s assistant director of planning with all that entails including budget and HR, neighborhood planning, as well leadership and mentoring. John has another job too: he is the primary development review engineer as well as a designer on capital projects. This demonstrates their commitment and exemplary performance of SERVICE for the city of Baytown. Tiffany is a Cowboys fan; and John is an LSU fan; while they have football in common, they also have competence and service to the city in common. And what a team they make, with Tiffany working the regulatory details and John performing the engineering work on this massive project. This demonstrates their RESPECT for each other as professionals. The award of the IKE CDBG grants demonstrates the competence of each of these professionals and the two of them as a team. The have built a positive climate in which to work together, learning each others work patterns, strengths and weaknesses demonstrating. Teamwork. Were we to search among our employees for two who do the right thing and take responsibility, we would be hard pressed to find examples better than John and Tiffany.

These two professionals have exceeded expectations and performed above the call of duty while winning $24 million in much needed grant funding for sewage treatment, generators and facility hardening.

The City has reserved the option to redeem the Bonds maturing on and after 8 , in whole or in part before their respective scheduled maturity dates, on 9 , or on any date thereafter, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. If less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed, the City shall determine the maturity or maturities and the amounts thereof to be redeemed and shall direct the Paying Agent/Registrar to call by lot the Bonds, or portions thereof, within such maturity and in such principal amounts, for redemption.

[Mandatory redemption language] 10

Not less than thirty (30) days prior to a redemption date for the Bonds, the City shall cause a notice of redemption to be sent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the Owners of the Bonds to be redeemed at the address of the Owner appearing on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the business day next preceding the date of mailing such notice.

In the Ordinance, the City reserves the right, in the case of an optional redemption, to give notice of its election or direction to redeem Bonds conditioned upon the occurrence of subsequent events. Such notice may state (i) that the redemption is conditioned upon the deposit of moneys and/or authorized securities, in an amount equal to the amount necessary to effect the redemption, with the Paying Agent/Registrar, or such other entity as may be authorized by law, no later than the redemption date, or (ii) that the City retains the right to rescind such notice at any time on or prior to the scheduled redemption date if the City delivers a certificate of the City to the Paying Agent/Registrar instructing the Paying Agent/Registrar to rescind the redemption notice, and such notice and redemption shall be of no effect if such moneys and/or authorized securities are not so deposited or if the notice is rescinded. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall give prompt notice of any such rescission of a conditional notice of redemption to the affected Owners. Any Bond subject to conditional redemption for which such redemption has been rescinded shall remain outstanding.

Any notice so mailed shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered owner receives such notice. Notice having been so given and subject, in the case of an optional redemption, to any rights or conditions reserved by the City in the notice, the Bonds called for redemption shall become due and payable on the specified redemption date, and

Specifically, the City will (i) maintain records regarding the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds as may be required to calculate the amount earned on the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts of the City allocable to other bond issue of the City or moneys which do not represent gross proceeds of any bonds of the City, (ii) calculate at such times as are required by the Regulations, the amount earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds which is required to be rebated to the federal government, and (iii) pay, not less often than every fifth anniversary date of the delivery of the Bonds or on such other dates as may be permitted under the Regulations, all amounts required to be rebated to the federal government. Further, the City will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable to the federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal government by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of the Bonds that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal government because such arrangement results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the arrangement had been at arm’s length and had the yield on the issue not been relevant to either party.

Section 9.07 Information Reporting.

The City covenants and agrees to file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury, not later than the 15th day of the second calendar month after the close of the calendar quarter in which the Bonds are issued, an information statement concerning the Bonds, all under and in accordance with section 149(e) of the Code and the Regulations.

Section 9.08 Record Retention.

The City will retain all pertinent and material records relating to the use and expenditure of the proceeds of the Bonds until six years after the last Bond is redeemed, or such shorter period as authorized by subsequent guidance issued by the Department of Treasury, if applicable. All records will be kept in a manner that ensures their complete access throughout the retention period. For this purpose, it is acceptable that such records are kept either as hardcopy books and records or in an electronic storage and retrieval system, provided that such electronic system includes reasonable controls and quality assurance programs that assure the ability of the City to retrieve and reproduce such books and records in the event of an examination of the Bonds by the Internal Revenue Service.

Section 9.09 Registration.

The Bonds will be issued in registered form.

AIR-5246 4. e. BAYTOWN CITY COUNCIL MEETING Meeting Date: 01/26/2012 Public Hearing: Chapter 130 Amendments, establishing new non-conforming use and structure regulations - Planning and Development Services. Prepared for: Kelly Carpenter Prepared by: Andrew Allemand, Planning and Development Services Department: Planning and Development Services

Information ITEM Hold a public hearing regarding proposed amendments to Chapter 130 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances, Baytown, Texas, that separates the variance and special exception processes and adopts new processes and regulations for variances, non-conforming land uses, and non-complying structures.

PREFACE This public hearing is to receive public input on the proposed amendments to Chapter 130 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances, Baytown, Texas, that separates the variance and special exception processes and adopts new processes and regulations for variances, non-conforming land uses, and non-complying structures.

The new ordinance, unlike the current regulations, allows for the expansion of non-conforming structures; and it authorizes the Planning Director to grant variances in addition to the Board of Adjustment. There is also a provision in the proposed ordinance that enables the Council to approve the reconstruction of totally destroyed structures upon request from the applicant so long as the intent of the ordinance is preserved.

The Council expressed the desire to have these amendments ready for review as soon as possible. In order to do so, the Planning and Zoning Commission held its required meetings to review and make a recommendation on the ordinance on January 4 and January 17, 2012, and recommends approval.

2

Sec. 130-191. Permit criteria.

To approve an application for a special exception permit, the board of adjustment shall make an affirmative finding that granting the special exception will:

(1) Ensure the same general level of land use compatibility as the otherwise applicable standards;

(2) Not materially and adversely affect adjacent land uses and the physical character of uses in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development because of inadequate buffering, screening, setbacks and other land use considerations;

(3) Not adversely affect property values in any material way; and

(4) Be generally consistent with the purposes and intent of this chapter.

Sec. 130-192. Conditions.

The director of planning and development services may recommend and the board of adjustment may impose such conditions on a special exception permit as are necessary to accomplish the purposes of this chapter, to prevent or minimize adverse impacts upon the public and neighborhoods and to ensure compatibility. These conditions may include, but are not limited to, limitations on size, bulk and location; standards for landscaping, buffering and screening, lighting and adequate ingress and egress; cash deposits, bonds and other guarantees of deposit; other on-site improvements; and limitations on the duration of the permit or hours of operation.

SUBDIVISION 2. VARIANCES

Sec. 130-195. Scope.

The purpose of this division is to set minimum requirements, standards and conditions for approving proposed variances to nonconforming structures. These regulations are intended to ensure the same general level of compatibility as is set forth in the comprehensive plan, neighborhood plans, and redevelopment and economic development plans adopted by city council. The regulations in this division are intended to ensure that variances granted to nonconforming structures do not

(1) adversely affect the adjacent land uses, especially adjacent residential uses; or

(2) the physical character of uses or structures in the immediate vicinity of the neighborhood in which the variance is sought.

Finally, the purpose of variances is to - over time - bring nonconforming structures into compliance with the current zoning regulations in order to improve neighborhoods, businesses and tax base.

Sec. 130-196. Authority.

The board of adjustment and the director of planning and development services may grant variances from the dimensional standards of zoning for a property if the variance satisfies criteria identified in section 130-197.

(1) Variance by director. The director may grant a variance for a nonconforming structure affecting up to 10 percent, not to exceed 5,000 square feet, of the footprint of the nonconforming structure, provided the applicable variance credits are proposed and approved.

(2) Variance by the board. The board of adjustment may grant a variance affecting a nonconforming structure, provided the applicable variance credits are proposed and approved. The board of adjustment may grant a variance or variances that cumulatively with any variance or variances granted by the director allow up to a 40 percent expansion, but not to exceed 25,000 square feet of the nonconforming structure as it was shown on the application for the first variance request. Variances may not be granted for 100 percent of the nonconforming structure.

4

Sec. 130-197. Application.

(a) A complete application for a variance permit shall be submitted by a qualified applicant to the director of planning and development services, on a form prescribed by the director, along with a nonrefundable fee of $100.00, which may be changed from time to time by the city council to defray the actual cost of processing the application. No application shall be processed until the established fee has been paid and the application has been determined complete by the director.

(b) Any application for a variance permit shall be accompanied by a site plan, drawn to scale that accurately depicts the existing conditions and the proposed conditions, including lot lines, locations of all structures, driveways, fences, berms, buffer landscaping, signs and paved areas and other items or features that may be appropriate to the consideration of the variance being sought as requested by the director of planning and development services. An as-built survey may serve as the basis for the existing conditions shown on the site plan.

(c) Any application for a variance permit shall also contain a detailed description of the number and type of variance credits proposed to be applied to the property by the applicant in accordance with section 130-198.

Sec. 130-198. Credits.

5

(2) Credits may be approved by the board of adjustment or the director of planning and development services as part of the application for variance and the chief building official may deny any subsequent building permit if applicant fails to comply with the variance conditions set by the board of adjustment or the director of planning and development services. (3) If a variance is granted by the board of adjustment or director of planning and development services, the variance granted shall specify the maximum time period for compliance (e.g., months, years, a permit shall be obtained within 30 days and work commenced and completed within one year or the variance is null and void). (4) Once the variance becomes null and void, owner shall remove any nonconforming structures or pieces of structures that were addressed by the variance granted.

(c) Choice of credits. The applicant for a variance shall choose any of the following credits that matches the number of required credits for the project, subject to the approval of the director of planning and development services or the board of adjustment, as applicable:

(1) Installation of a streetscape along the street at which the project is addressed following the standards that are set forth in section 18-1206 of the code;

(9) Alternative proposals that meet all the intent and purpose of this chapter as approved by the board of adjustment or the director of planning and development services.

Sec. 130-199. Action by director.

(a) After determining that the application for a variance permit is complete, the director of planning and development services shall review the application.

(b) If the application is for a variance to be granted by the board of adjustment, the director shall prepare a staff report, which may include a recommendation of approval, approval with conditions or disapproval based upon the criteria in section 130-201.

(5) Furthers the goals and vision of the city as set forth in the comprehensive plan, the vision statement, and an applicable neighborhood plan or redevelopment plan adopted by the city council;

(6) Is generally consistent with the purposes and intent of this chapter;

(7) Is needed as special circumstances exist that are peculiar to the land or structure that are not applicable to other land or structures in the same district and are not merely financial;

(8) Is necessary as literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms and provisions of the dimensional standards would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by landowners in the same district and would cause an unnecessary and undue hardship;

(9) Is the minimum action that will make possible the use of the land or structure which is not contrary to the public interest and which would carry out the spirit of this chapter and would result in substantial justice;

(10) Does not decrease any setback; and

(11) Will bring the existing and proposed structure closer into compliance with this chapter or will otherwise improve or enhance public health, safety or welfare.

Sec. 130-202. Conditions.

The director of planning and development services and the board of adjustment may impose such conditions on a variance permit as are necessary to accomplish the purposes of this chapter, to prevent or minimize adverse impacts upon the public and neighborhoods and to ensure compatibility.

ARTICLE IV. NONCONFORMITIES.

Sec. 130-253. Noncomplying structures.

(a) Generally. Under this chapter, no noncomplying structure may be moved, enlarged or altered, except in the manner provided in this section or article II, division 4 or unless required by law.

(b) Applicability. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prohibit improvements, maintenance or repair for any part of structures that are inside the existing footprint of a noncomplying structure that do not increase the height of the existing noncomplying structure. Some examples are the following: a water heater may be repaired or replaced within the existing footprint; components, cladding and roofs may be repaired as long as square footage (usable or not usable) is not added to make another story on the building or to exceed the existing footprint of the structure.

(c) Repair, maintenance, alteration and enlargement. Any noncomplying structure may be repaired, maintained, altered or enlarged; provided, however, that no such repair, maintenance, alteration or enlargement shall either create any new noncompliance or increase the degree of the existing noncompliance of all or any part of such structure except in the manner provided in this section or article II, division 4 of this chapter.

(e) Damage or partial destruction. If a noncomplying structure is damaged or destroyed by fire or natural calamity to the extent of 50 percent or less, the structure may be restored if restoration is started within six months and diligently pursued to completion. The city

12

may require a cash deposit, bond or other guarantee of performance to ensure diligent progress and completion of the restoration. Any delay in starting such restoration that is caused by government action or natural calamities and without contributing fault by the owner shall be deducted in calculating the starting date of restoration.

(f) Destroyed structures. Reconstruction of a nonconforming structure that has been 50 percent or more destroyed may be granted by the board of adjustment only upon its finding that granting the variance satisfies the following conditions:

a. Not contrary to the public interest;

b. Due to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship; and

c. The spirit of this chapter is observed and substantial justice is done.

The board of adjustment may impose such conditions as are necessary to protect adjacent property owners, to safeguard the character of the neighborhood in which the nonconforming structure is located, and to ensure the protection of the public health, safety and welfare, including, but not limited to, conditions specifying the period during which the nonconforming use may continue to operate or exist before being brought into conformance with the standards of this chapter. In considering such reconstruction, the board of adjustment shall address the public welfare, character of the area surrounding such structure, the conservation, preservation and protection of property, including the applicant’s property, as well as all plans adopted by the city council that affect or cover the area in which the land is located.

(g) Calculation for percentage destroyed. The board of adjustment shall utilize the following to make its determination concerning 50 percent or more destroyed:

(1) The value of the nonconforming structure prior to destruction shall be established using the most current (pre-destruction) appraisal district tax roll; and

(2) The owner may propose to substitute a current appraisal of the nonconforming building (before it was destroyed) prepared by an appraiser licensed in the state to prepare such appraisal.

Section 7: Any person who fails to comply with any provision of this ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding TWO THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,000.00). Each act of violation and each day upon which any such violation shall occur shall constitute a separate offense. In addition to the penalty prescribed above, the city may pursue other remedies such as abatement of nuisances, injunctive relief, administrative adjudication and revocation of licenses or permits.

13

Section 8: All ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent with the terms of this ordinance are hereby repealed; provided, however, that such repeal shall be only to the extent of such inconsistency and in all other respects this ordinance shall be cumulative of other ordinances regulating and governing the subject matter covered by this ordinance.

Section 9: If any provisions, section, exception, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance or the application of same to any person or set of circumstances, shall for any reason be held unconstitutional, void or invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this ordinance or their application to other persons or sets of circumstances and to this end all provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable.

Section 5: This ordinance shall take effect from and after ten (10) days from its passage by the City Council.

AIR-5247 4. f. BAYTOWN CITY COUNCIL MEETING Meeting Date: 01/26/2012 Ordinance: Chapter 130 Amendments, establishing new nonconforming use and structure regulations - Planning and Development Services. Prepared for: Kelly Carpenter Prepared by: Andrew Allemand, Planning and Development Services Department: Planning and Development Services

Information ITEM Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 130 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances, Baytown, Texas, that separates the variance and special exception processes and adopts new processes and regulations for variances, non-conforming land uses, and non-complying structures.

PREFACE This proposed ordinance amends Chapter 130 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances, Baytown, Texas, to establish a new variance process for nonconforming structures and new standards for nonconforming uses and noncomplying structures. This ordinance represents the work of the Citizen Task Force appointed by Council to work on a new Unified Land Development Code. This section is being taken early as the Council directed staff to bring it forward quickly.

The proposed ordinance, unlike the current regulations, allows for the expansion of non-conforming structures and it authorizes the Planning Director to grant variances in addition to the Board of Adjustment. There is also a provision that enables the Council to approve the reconstruction of totally destroyed structures upon appeal from the applicant so long as the intent of the ordinance is preserved.

The Council expressed the desire to have these amendments ready for review as soon as possible. In order to do so, the Planning and Zoning Commission held required public hearings and recommends that the council adopt this ordinance.

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval.

Sec. 130-191. Permit criteria.

To approve an application for a special exception permit, the board of adjustment shall make an affirmative finding that granting the special exception will:

(1) Ensure the same general level of land use compatibility as the otherwise applicable standards;

(2) Not materially and adversely affect adjacent land uses and the physical character of uses in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development because of inadequate buffering, screening, setbacks and other land use considerations;

(3) Not adversely affect property values in any material way; and

Sec. 130-192. Conditions.

The director of planning and development services may recommend and the board of adjustment may impose such conditions on a special exception permit as are necessary to accomplish the purposes of this chapter, to prevent or minimize adverse impacts upon the public and neighborhoods and to ensure compatibility. These conditions may include, but are not limited to, limitations on size, bulk and location; standards for landscaping, buffering and screening, lighting and adequate ingress and egress; cash deposits, bonds and other guarantees of deposit; other on-site improvements; and limitations on the duration of the permit or hours of operation.

Sec. 130-193. Notice of decision.

The director of planning and development services shall provide a copy of the decision issued under this division to the applicant by mail within ten days of the decision of the board of adjustment.

Sec. 130-194. Effect of special exception permit.

automatically become null and void. Permitted timeframes do not change with successive owners. Upon written request, only one extension of the 12-month timeframe may be granted by the board of adjustment for a period not to exceed 12 months for good cause shown.

SUBDIVISION 2. VARIANCES

Sec. 130-195. Scope.

The purpose of this division is to set minimum requirements, standards and conditions for approving proposed variances to nonconforming structures. These regulations are intended to ensure the same general level of compatibility as is set forth in the comprehensive plan, neighborhood plans, and redevelopment and economic development plans adopted by city council. The regulations in this division are intended to ensure that variances granted to nonconforming structures do not

(1) adversely affect the adjacent land uses, especially adjacent residential uses; or

(2) the physical character of uses or structures in the immediate vicinity of the neighborhood in which the variance is sought.

Finally, the purpose of variances is to - over time - bring nonconforming structures into compliance with the current zoning regulations in order to improve neighborhoods, businesses and tax base.

Sec. 130-196. Authority.

The board of adjustment and the director of planning and development services may grant variances from the dimensional standards of zoning for a property if the variance satisfies criteria identified in section 130-197.

(1) Variance by director. The director may grant a variance for a nonconforming structure affecting up to 10 percent, not to exceed 5,000 square feet, of the footprint of the nonconforming structure, provided the applicable variance credits are proposed and approved.

(2) Variance by the board. The board of adjustment may grant a variance affecting a nonconforming structure, provided the applicable variance credits are proposed and approved. The board of adjustment may grant a variance or variances that cumulatively with any variance or variances granted by the director allow up to a 40 percent expansion, but not to exceed 25,000 square feet of the nonconforming structure as it was shown on the application for the first variance request. Variances may not be granted for 100 percent of the nonconforming structure.

4

Sec. 130-197. Application.

(a) A complete application for a variance permit shall be submitted by a qualified applicant to the director of planning and development services, on a form prescribed by the director, along with a nonrefundable fee of $100.00, which may be changed from time to time by the city council to defray the actual cost of processing the application. No application shall be processed until the established fee has been paid and the application has been determined complete by the director.

(b) Any application for a variance permit shall be accompanied by a site plan, drawn to scale that accurately depicts the existing conditions and the proposed conditions, including lot lines, locations of all structures, driveways, fences, berms, buffer landscaping, signs and paved areas and other items or features that may be appropriate to the consideration of the variance being sought as requested by the director of planning and development services. An as-built survey may serve as the basis for the existing conditions shown on the site plan.

(c) Any application for a variance permit shall also contain a detailed description of the number and type of variance credits proposed to be applied to the property by the applicant in accordance with section 130-198.

Sec. 130-198. Credits.

(a) Number of credits. In addition to the variance criteria listed in section 130-201, an applicant may be granted a variance only when he has supplied credits in the amounts shown in the variance credits table contained in this section that illustrate the number of approved credits required for his proposed project based on the percentage expansion of the project.

Variance Credits Table

Percent of Variance Number of Approved To be Granted Credits Required 10% or less 2 Over 10% to 20% 3 Over 20% to 30% 4 Over 30% to 40% 5

(b) Administration of credits.

(1) The variance credits proposed to be met herein for the board of adjustment or the director of planning and development services shall not be the same standards already approved to support a variance granted on the same property.

5

(2) Credits may be approved by the board of adjustment or the director of planning and development services as part of the application for variance and the chief building official may deny any subsequent building permit if applicant fails to comply with the variance conditions set by the board of adjustment or the director of planning and development services. (3) If a variance is granted by the board of adjustment or director of planning and development services, the variance granted shall specify the maximum time period for compliance (e.g., months, years, a permit shall be obtained within 30 days and work commenced and completed within one year or the variance is null and void). (4) Once the variance becomes null and void, owner shall remove any nonconforming structures or pieces of structures that were addressed by the variance granted.

(c) Choice of credits. The applicant for a variance shall choose any of the following credits that matches the number of required credits for the project, subject to the approval of the director of planning and development services or the board of adjustment, as applicable:

(1) Installation of a streetscape along the street at which the project is addressed following the standards that are set forth in section 18-1206 of the code;

(2) Installation of parking lot landscaping to the percent of required landscaping that equals or exceeds the extent of the expansion requested in the variance based upon section 18-1205 of the code;

(3) Installation of a public sidewalk along the frontage(s) of the property where no sidewalk exists;

(4) Installation of an improved buffer between the property and adjacent properties zoned or used for residential purposes, which may include the addition of hedges or decorative posts, or the substitution of higher quality materials for the buffer fence or other similar improvements;

(5) Painting or otherwise modifying the exterior of the structure with appropriate building materials to match the color range and/or materials of adjacent properties and/or those immediately across the street. Modifications may include, but are not limited to, the addition of siding, awnings, window trim, and new facia. When the property in question is located in a neighborhood that has a plan adopted by the city council and that addresses architectural standards, then material/exterior must comply with the adopted plan before credit may be given under this division;

(6) Construction of a new roof on the structure such that the appearance and safety of the structure are improved;

6

(7) Specifying the period during which the nonconforming structure may continue to operate or exist before being brought into conformance with the standards of the zoning regulations;

(8) Maintenance of specific operating hours for a nonconforming use; or

(9) Alternative proposals that meet all the intent and purpose of this chapter as approved by the board of adjustment or the director of planning and development services.

Sec. 130-199. Action by director.

(a) After determining that the application for a variance permit is complete, the director of planning and development services shall review the application.

(b) If the application is for a variance to be granted by the board of adjustment, the director shall prepare a staff report, which may include a recommendation of approval, approval with conditions or disapproval based upon the criteria in section 130-201.

(c) The director may approve, approve with conditions or disapprove the application for a variance permit, pursuant to the criteria of section 130-201. Any approval or conditional approval of a variance shall include the number and type of credits approved by the director for the variance consistent with section 130-198.

Sec. 130-200. Action by board.

After due notice, the board of adjustment shall hold a public hearing on an application for a variance permit. At the public hearing, the board of adjustment shall consider the application, the staff report, the relevant support materials and the public testimony given at the public hearing. After the close of the public hearing, the board of adjustment shall vote to approve, approve with conditions or disapprove the application for a variance permit, pursuant to the criteria of section 130-201.

Section 130-201. Criteria.

The director of planning and development services or the board of adjustment may grant a variance when the applicant demonstrates that his variance request will meet all the criteria below:

(1) Ensures the same general level of land use compatibility as the otherwise applicable standards;

7

(2) Is not a hardship of the applicant’s own making;

(3) Does not adversely affect adjacent land uses and the physical character of uses in the neighborhood in which the exception is sought because of inadequate buffering, screening, setbacks and other land use considerations;

(4) Does not adversely affect property values of adjacent properties in any material way and will improve the property value of the property for which the exception is sought;

(5) Furthers the goals and vision of the city as set forth in the comprehensive plan, the vision statement, and an applicable neighborhood plan or redevelopment plan adopted by the city council;

(6) Is generally consistent with the purposes and intent of this chapter;

(7) Is needed as special circumstances exist that are peculiar to the land or structure that are not applicable to other land or structures in the same district and are not merely financial;

(8) Is necessary as literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms and provisions of the dimensional standards would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by landowners in the same district and would cause an unnecessary and undue hardship;

(9) Is the minimum action that will make possible the use of the land or structure which is not contrary to the public interest and which would carry out the spirit of this chapter and would result in substantial justice;

(10) Does not decrease any setback; and

(11) Will bring the existing and proposed structure closer into compliance with this chapter or will otherwise improve or enhance public health, safety or welfare.

Sec. 130-202. Conditions.

The director of planning and development services and the board of adjustment may impose such conditions on a variance permit as are necessary to accomplish the purposes of this chapter, to prevent or minimize adverse impacts upon the public and neighborhoods and to ensure compatibility. These conditions may include, but are not limited to, limitations on size, bulk and location; standards for landscaping, buffering and screening, lighting and adequate ingress and egress; cash deposits, bonds and other guarantees of deposit; other on-site improvements; and limitations on the duration of the permit.

CHAPTER 130. ZONING

ARTICLE IV. NONCONFORMITIES.

Sec. 130-253. Noncomplying structures.

(a) Generally. Under this chapter, no noncomplying structure may be moved, enlarged or altered, except in the manner provided in this section or article II, division 4 or unless required by law.

(b) Applicability. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prohibit improvements, maintenance or repair for any part of structures that are inside the existing footprint of a noncomplying structure that do not increase the height of the existing noncomplying structure. Some examples are the following: a water heater may be repaired or replaced within the existing footprint; components, cladding and roofs may be repaired as long as square footage (usable or not usable) is not added to make another story on the building or to exceed the existing footprint of the structure.

(c) Repair, maintenance, alteration and enlargement. Any noncomplying structure may be repaired, maintained, altered or enlarged; provided, however, that no such repair, maintenance, alteration or enlargement shall either create any new noncompliance or increase the degree of the existing noncompliance of all or any part of such structure except in the manner provided in this section or article II, division 4 of this chapter.

(e) Damage or partial destruction. If a noncomplying structure is damaged or destroyed by fire or natural calamity to the extent of 50 percent or less, the structure may be restored if restoration is started within six months and diligently pursued to completion. The city

12

may require a cash deposit, bond or other guarantee of performance to ensure diligent progress and completion of the restoration. Any delay in starting such restoration that is caused by government action or natural calamities and without contributing fault by the owner shall be deducted in calculating the starting date of restoration.

(f) Destroyed structures. Reconstruction of a nonconforming structure that has been 50 percent or more destroyed may be granted by the board of adjustment only upon its finding that granting the variance satisfies the following conditions:

a. Not contrary to the public interest;

b. Due to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship; and

c. The spirit of this chapter is observed and substantial justice is done.

The board of adjustment may impose such conditions as are necessary to protect adjacent property owners, to safeguard the character of the neighborhood in which the nonconforming structure is located, and to ensure the protection of the public health, safety and welfare, including, but not limited to, conditions specifying the period during which the nonconforming use may continue to operate or exist before being brought into conformance with the standards of this chapter. In considering such reconstruction, the board of adjustment shall address the public welfare, character of the area surrounding such structure, the conservation, preservation and protection of property, including the applicant’s property, as well as all plans adopted by the city council that affect or cover the area in which the land is located.

(g) Calculation for percentage destroyed. The board of adjustment shall utilize the following to make its determination concerning 50 percent or more destroyed:

(1) The value of the nonconforming structure prior to destruction shall be established using the most current (pre-destruction) appraisal district tax roll; and

(2) The owner may propose to substitute a current appraisal of the nonconforming building (before it was destroyed) prepared by an appraiser licensed in the state to prepare such appraisal.

Section 7: Any person who fails to comply with any provision of this ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding TWO THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,000.00). Each act of violation and each day upon which any such violation shall occur shall constitute a separate offense. In addition to the penalty prescribed above, the city may pursue other remedies such as abatement of nuisances, injunctive relief, administrative adjudication and revocation of licenses or permits.

13

Section 8: All ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent with the terms of this ordinance are hereby repealed; provided, however, that such repeal shall be only to the extent of such inconsistency and in all other respects this ordinance shall be cumulative of other ordinances regulating and governing the subject matter covered by this ordinance.

Section 9: If any provisions, section, exception, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance or the application of same to any person or set of circumstances, shall for any reason be held unconstitutional, void or invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this ordinance or their application to other persons or sets of circumstances and to this end all provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable.

Section 5: This ordinance shall take effect from and after ten (10) days from its passage by the City Council.

AIR-5611 4. g. BAYTOWN CITY COUNCIL MEETING Meeting Date: 01/26/2012 Public Hearing: Rezoning of approximately 7.33 acres from NC to MU - Planning and Development Services. Prepared by: Jason Cozza, City Clerk's Office Department: Planning and Development Services

Information ITEM Hold a public hearing giving all interested parties the right to appear and be heard regarding the application of Rene and Patricia Gharibeh to rezone approximately 7.33 acres from Neighborhood Conservation (NC) District to Mixed Use (MU) District, being Tracts 1A-2 and 1A-3 of the W. Ritchie Survey, Abstract No. 683, located between Sjolander Road and Crosby Cedar-Bayou Road along the south right-of-way of Interstate 10, Harris County, Texas.

PREFACE Subject Property: Approximately 7.33 acres of land, being Tracts 1A-2 and 1A-3 of the W. Ritchie Survey, Abstract No. 683, located between Sjolander Road and Crosby Cedar-Bayou Road along the south right-of-way of Interstate 10, Harris County, Texas.

Current use: Vacant Proposed use: Commercial office building and enclosed storage space North: Interstate 10 right-of-way West : Residential in extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) East: Commercial in extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) South: Residential (continuation of lot to the west) in extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ)

Staff Analysis: An application for an amendment to the official zoning map may be proposed by the mayor, a member of the city council, the city manager or a qualified applicant for development pursuant to Section 13-153 of the Baytown zoning regulations. In this case, the owners of the property initiated this application.

In order to recommend approval of an application for a zoning amendment, the City Council shall consider the following factors:

1. Consistent with the Zoning Ordinance.

The subject property fronts the Interstate 10 frontage road. Properties to the east, west, and south are outside of the city limits. The property directly to the east is commercial. The MU zoning district allows for all land uses high traffic volume rezoning the land to MU would be appropriate and would be consistent with the intent of the zoning ordinance.

2. Compatible with Surrounding Area.

Except for Interstate 10 which is within the city limits, surrounding properties are outside the city. The city’s Future Land Use Plan envisions this area along Interstate 10 to be commercial and high density residential.

3. Changed Conditions.

The surrounding area has very low density housing and commercial. The future land use plan envisions this as commercial.

4. Effect on Natural Environment.

The subject property is not on a waterway and is not within a special flood hazard area. Staff anticipates little to no impact on the natural environment.

5. Community Need.

The community needs to continue to provide opportunities that will strengthen the city’s economic base. Zoning this area for mixed use development will provide the best chance for the property to realize its highest, best and most appropriate land use given the location on Interstate 10.

6. Development Pattern.

Very little development has occurred along this section of Interstate 10. The subject tracts have only recently been annexed into the City of Baytown. Surrounding tracts are outside of the city. The city’s Future Land Use Plan shows this area as being primarily commercial with some high density residential. Development of a general office and enclosed storage space would be a logical and acceptable land use for this area.

Public Notification: Notices mailed to property owners within 300’ inside the city limits - 3

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval.

AIR-5612 4. h. BAYTOWN CITY COUNCIL MEETING Meeting Date: 01/26/2012 Ordinance: Consider an Application by Rene and Patricia Gharibeh to Rezone Approximately 7.33 Acres of Land from NC to MU. Prepared for: Kelly Carpenter Prepared by: Leticia Brysch, City Clerk's Office Department: Planning and Development Services

Information ITEM Consider the application of Rene and Patricia Gharibeh to rezone approximately 7.33 acres from Neighborhood Conservation (NC) District to Mixed Use (MU) District, being Tracts 1A-2 and 1A-3 of the W. Ritchie Survey, Abstract No. 683, located between Sjolander Road and Crosby Cedar-Bayou Road along the south right-of-way of Interstate 10, Harris County, Texas.

PREFACE The purpose of this item is to consider rezoning property. The Subject Property is approximately 7.33 acres of land, being Tracts 1A-2 and 1A-3 of the W. Ritchie Survey, Abstract No. 683, located between Sjolander Road and Crosby Cedar-Bayou Road along the south right-of-way of Interstate 10, Harris County, Texas.

Current use: Vacant Proposed use: Commercial office building and enclosed storage space North: Interstate 10 right-of-way West : Residential in extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) East: Commercial in extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) South: Residential (continuation of lot to the west) in extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ)

In order to recommend approval of an application for a zoning amendment, the City Council shall consider the six described in this report:

1. Consistent with the Zoning Ordinance.

The subject property fronts the Interstate 10 frontage road. Properties to the east, west, and south are outside of the city limits. The property directly to the east is commercial. The MU zoning district allows for all land uses high traffic volume rezoning the land to MU would be appropriate and would be consistent with the intent of the zoning ordinance. 2. Compatible with Surrounding Area.

Except for Interstate 10 which is within the city limits, surrounding properties are outside the city. The city’s Future Land Use Plan envisions this area along Interstate 10 to be commercial and high density residential.

3. Changed Conditions.

The surrounding area has very low density housing and commercial. The future land use plan envisions this as commercial.

4. Effect on Natural Environment.

The subject property is not on a waterway and is not within a special flood hazard area. Additionally, the application is for an MU district and not an industrial district as originally thought. The applicant desires to construct an office building and not an industrial complex. Therefore, staff anticipates little to no impact on the natural environment.

5. Community Need.

The community needs to continue to provide opportunities that will strengthen the city’s economic base. Zoning this area for mixed use development will provide the best chance for the property to realize its highest, best and most appropriate land use given the location on Interstate 10.

6. Development Pattern.

Very little development has occurred along this section of Interstate 10. The subject tracts have only recently been annexed into the City of Baytown. Surrounding tracts are outside of the city. However, the city’s Future Land Use Plan shows this area as being primarily commercial with some high density residential. Development of a general office and enclosed storage space would be a logical and acceptable land use for this area.

The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of this rezoning request.
