CONSENT Item
Consideration of approving an updated Interlocal Agreement between the
City of San Angelo and The Cooperative Purchasing Network (TCPN)
authorizing future City purchases as allowed by The State of Texas
Government Code, Section 271 and authorizing the Mayor and/or City
Manager to execute said Agreement.

Summary:

The City of San Angelo has been a member of this TCPN since 2005. This
request is seeking approval to update the agreement continue to allow the
City of San Angelo to participate in this cooperative purchasing group with
other municipalities, county governments, and school districts.

The State of Texas Government Code, Section 271 has given municipalities the
authority to participate in cooperative purchasing programs to increase the
efficiency and effectiveness of local governments by authorizing them to contract,
to the greatest possible extent, with one another and with agencies of the state.
This authority also satisfies the state law requiring the local government to seek
competitive bids. Purchasing Co-ops assist local governments, by pooling
procurement resources, meeting the needs of the participants through volume
purchasing and by reducing the cost and time associated with individual
purchasing procedures. The City of San Angelo currently participates in several
purchasing co-ops including the Texas Department of Information Resources
(DIR), Houston Galveston Area Council of Governments (HGAC), U.S.
Communities, Buyboard.com, etc.
The TCPN is sponsored by the Region VII Education Service Center (ESC4),
located in Houston, Texas and is governed by the Region 4 ESC Board of
Directors. TCPN is available for use by all schools, colleges, universities, cities,
counties, and other government entities in the States of Texas. They offer a wide
variety competitive bid services and products to the membership.

Financial Impact:

There is no cost relating to membership or purchasing administrative fees associated
with TCPN membership. Standard City and State purchasing approval procedures are
required for all purchases made using cooperative contracts

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.
Staff believes that the proposed zone change meets all of the criteria outlined, thus
recommending approval of a zone change to General Commercial (CG). This request is
compatible with the city's plans and polices, as the Vision Plan envisions the property
and much of the properties to the east to be designated as ‘Commercial’. Additionally,
properties to the north as well as the parcel directly to the west are designated to be
commercial in nature. The category ‘Commercial’ seeks to provide business and retail
related opportunities and fits with CO, CG, and CH zoning, and CN zoning. The long-

5
range plan calls for future commercial development for the area along North
Chadbourne Street between Houston Harte Expressway and West 12th Street, several
blocks to the north. Although the site is currently zoned residential, the proposed
request is more reflective of aspects in the Vision Plan as well as future development
patterns for the area.
The request is consistent with aspects of the Zoning Ordinance. Although it was stated
that they do not have a specific use in mind, they have discussed ideas of having an
office building, water or ice sales, or other something that would fall under the allowed
uses in the district. The district will introduce a wide range of uses – 'Retail Sales and
Services' for example, provides opportunities for personal services, entertainment and
product repair or services for consumer and business goods. Examples may include
animal grooming, branch banks, restaurants, hotels, offices and convenience stores
(Section 315.G, Zoning Ordinance). Some conditional uses allowed in CG zoning
include game halls, equipment rental, vehicle repair (full service repair), warehouse and
freight movement, waste-related uses and wholesale trade (Section 310, Zoning
Ordinance). Some of the more intensive uses permissible in the district are self-service
storage facilities, repair-oriented businesses and limited outdoor storage. The district
allows for ‘Type 2: Limited Outdoor Storage’, which prohibits outdoor storage to
exceed 1,000 square feet or 10 percent of the total site area, whichever is greater – a
privacy fence is not required in this circumstance, unless said property abuts a
residential zoning district or use (Sections 504 and 509, Zoning Ordinance).
While North Chadbourne is clearly defined as a major commercial corridor, much of the
0 Block of West 8th Street is zoned for residential uses. The lot in question, as well as
some adjoining lots remain vacant, open space. While much of the 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. The area already has a good mix
of commercial and residential development – at the intersection with North Chadbourne
Street is a furniture store, gas station, bakery and specialty clothing store – approval of
this request will further solidify the area as part of the nearby commercial corridor.
These lots are similar in area and dimension measure roughly 50’ x 100’. A majority of
the lots to the north are zoned Two-Family Residential (RS-2), – the property is adjacent
to the west is zoned Office Commercial (CO), and Heavy Commercial (CH) immediately
east of the site. The proposed CG zoning is an appropriate transition of zoning from
CG/CH, CH and CO zoning, within the block (refer to the site map below).
This request represents changed conditions to the current Ordinance, in that, RS-2
limits development to residential uses, notably, single-family detached and two-family
dwellings (Section 311, Zoning Ordinance). In addition to changing the zoning from

6
residential to commercial, the proposed change will allow for greater allowances in
building setbacks, maximum height and a higher FAR ratio. In a CG zone, the required
front yard or setback is 25 feet, the side or rear yard varies from 0 – 10 feet, depending
on whether or not the property abuts a residential use or zoning district (Section 502,
Zoning Ordinance). There is no maximum building height for the district and the Floor
Area Ratio, FAR, or maximum buildable space is 2 or twice the total area for the lot.
This request is consistent with the commercial designation of the Comprehensive Plan,
as such an amendment to the Vision Plan Map of this document is not required to
approve this request.
Staff expects that the proposed zone change may have some impact on the natural
environment. The change will introduce a wide range of commercial development
opportunities, in both scale and type. That being said, potential impacts are greatly tied
to the nature of the project – given the allowed uses for the district, such changes will
not significant. The site remains a vacant lot, mainly comprised of open space – a
number of trees and vegetation exist on the property, the removal of vegetation in
developing the tract will have a relatively small impact on the environment. Staff must
consider, given the small lot size, 50’ x 100’ or (5,000 sq ft), future plans may trigger
future subdivision requests in the area with the means to enlarge the tract to meet
greater demands for large scale commercial projects. Conceivably there can be greater
storm water runoffs generated from buildings or structures that have larger building
footprints. An internal site review will be conducted by city staff will ensure that any
approved project directs runoff away from neighboring properties or require effective
screening.
The requested zoning represents a community need. 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 rezone the property
to something more practical is a conscious step in revitalizing that section of the block.
The site boasts close proximity to major roadways and commercial development; the
request cleans up and offers a nice transition between existing zoning. The site is within
200 feet of North Chadbourne Street, which is identified as a minor arterial. Houston
Harte Expressway is also very accessible from the site. The requested zone change
and proposed development will offer suitable infill opportunities for the tract of land that
has serve as vacant, open space for many years. It will also enable development which
provides a buffer between uses, a transition from neighborhood serving commercial to
nearby residential uses and zoning. The location also provides close proximity to shops
and other services, such a transition stimulates the environment for walkable
communities. The presence of mix uses within a confined space reduces the demand
for automobile use and enhances the nature of the area - further creating places where
people can live, shop and work, thus establishing sustainable environments.

History and Background:
Last month, the applicants, Southwest Orient Properties, LLC., filed a request to
formally abandon the a series of adjoining alleys in the Fairview Addition, Blocks
66, 67 and 74, in north central San Angelo. The immediate area is sandwiched
between two rail crossings – one terminates slightly pass the site, to the south,
the other is a major rail line that runs across town (across South Bryant Blvd,
Knickerbocker Rd and the Loop) and transports freight into the city from the east
and west. Close proximity of the rail lines has had a dramatic impact on
development in the surrounding area which is a mix of heavy industrial and
agricultural land uses. The presence of the railways allow for easy transporting
of goods.
More specifically, the proposed alleyway runs laterally to the north of Culwell
Street. Much of it will be the abandoning of Hughes Street, Florence Street and
Velma Street, which spans roughly 680', also in the request to be abandoned is
a roughly 20' x 430' alley right-of-way in Blocks 66 and 67 of the Fairview Addition
and 20' x 35' alley right-of-way in Block 74 of the Fairview Addition. It area is quite
sizeable and measures slightly more than 75,500 square feet.
Whenever an alley is officially abandoned, it is divided at the centerpoint and
deeded to the adjacent property owners – since the proponent owns much of
the adjoining area on either side of the proposed abandonment, if approved and
all measures are carried out, much of the abandoned sections will be handed
over to the proponent.

Basis for Recommendation

After an internal review of the site, staff finds that there is no real interest in maintaining the
requested unimproved street right-of-ways and alleyways. The portions of Hughes Street, Florence
Street and Velma Street right-of-ways do not appear to have ever been improved (paved to street
specifications) or fully utilized as a street, at any point in time. Currently the proponents, Southwest
Orient Properties, LLC., has utilized the site with their operations for quite some time. The
triangular shaped tract, bounded by both sides by the railroad tracts, makes serious development
of site impractical - the odd configuration of the site restricts future land development of the area.
With the exception of a water line that extends slightly within the right-of-way of unimproved Velma
Street, no other public utility exist within the identified area.
In reviewing the nature of this request, staff has uncovered series abandonments that has
occurred in the generalized area between North Bell Street and the westernmost point of the
tracts, over the past few years. Approvals of such abandonments, including the abandoned
portion situated immediately to the west of the site, further solidify the city's need to relinquish
the rights of the specified area. Additionally, abandonment will not negatively impact the
accessibility of nearby and adjacent streets and is compatible with aspects of the Thoroughfare
Plan for the area.
Given the circumstances outlined, it would be more beneficial for the city to relinquish
ownership of the identified properties. With abandoning of these sections, staff is requesting
that a 20' utility and access easement be required with approval and extend to the Hughes
Street right-of-way to allow for city access to the existing water line along Velma Street.
Proposed Conditions

1.

Provide a survey and metes and bounds decsription of the property to be abandoned,
performed under the direction of a registered professional land surveyor.

2.

City Water Utilities requires a 20' utility and access easement for the existing water
line on the property. The access easement will need to extend from the water line to
Hughes Street right-of-way.

3.

Replatting the property abandoned and adjacent to the abandonment into one
contiguous lot.

Special Information
Private Utilities:

This abandonment is not anticipated to create any
concerns for private utilities

Traffic Concerns:

Traffic patterns for this area should remain unaffected. This
portion of alley has never been improved and the individual
lots served by this alleyway are all owned by the proponent
of this particular request.

Rationale for staff's recommendation:

This alleyway has effectively been closed for years. It is un-improved at this time
and several trees hinder anyone from actually travelling through this alleyway.
The site is surrounded by SAISD property, and the actual alleyway is home to a
water and sewer line. Essentially nothing is being gained for the public's benefit
for the City to be maintaining this alleyway as a public right-of-way. It would be
the best use of the property for it to be abandoned and encompassed by the
SAISD which owns property on both sides of the alleyway. As such, SAISD
would effectively own the entire Block 32 of the Miles Addition. The only
requirement is that an easement be maintained where the current alleyway runs
to allow for access and maintenance of the existing water and sewer line
currently running in this alleyway.

Proposed Conditions

1.

Reservation of a 20' open and unobstructed utility easement (where the
alleyway currently runs) to access and maintain existing water utilities
facilities.

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING STRATEGIES
FOR OBTAINING COMPLIANCE WITH ZONING ORDINANCE FOR
EXISTING PARKS AROUND SAN ANGELO CONTAINING
RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, MANUFACTURED HOUSING, AND
MOBILE HOMES

Summary:
In response to the continuing discussions of recreational vehicles (RVs), mobile homes, and
manufactured homes, and in the interest of developing an enforcement strategy to deal with
an influx in these structures as a result of the Cline Shale play, City staff researched every
existing "park" within the city limits. As part of this research, they looked at the following
characteristics of each:
•
•
•
•
•

acreage;
approximate number of existing spaces;
approximate number of structures and their classifications;
how the park came to exist, from a regulatory standpoint; and
strategies to bring all parks into compliance under a singular approach.
Breakdown of Existing Parks
There appear to be 18 parks currently in existence within the city limits & the surrounding
ETJ. Of these 18, 2 carry the zoning classification of MHP (Manufactured Housing Park),
an existing zoning district provided for within the Zoning Ordinance, adopted in 2000. (The
next section addresses what MHP zoning allows and its associated requirements.)
Of the remaining 16 parks, 2 lie within approved Planned Development (PD) districts. 1
park was in existence prior to the adoption of the first Zoning Ordinance in 1954, and 2 were
in existence prior to their annexation into the city, meaning that these three are legally
nonconforming. 4 of those 16 have an approved special permit in place allowing specifically
"mobile homes", not RVs. 3 are outside the city limits, in the ETJ, and the remaining 3 have
long existed, though staff could not locate any approvals or explanation as how they came
to be allowed in the first place.
The MHP Zoning District
The MHP Zoning District is: "intended to provide opportunities for development of land with
improvements and utilities specifically for the accommodation of manufactured housing in
projects under unified management and control. These parks may include other services and
common facilities for use by the residents. Any MHP district may include more than one
manufactured housing park as long as each park within the district is under unified management
and control."
Section 310.E of the Zoning Ordinance allows the following uses within MHP zoning:
• Household Living - by right;
• Parks & Open Areas - by right;
• Community Services - as a Conditional Use;
• Telecommunications Facilities - as a Conditional Use;
• Golf Courses - as a Special Use;
• Campground/Recreational Vehicle Parks - as a Special Use.
The only building types allowed in MHP zoning are manufactured homes and mobile homes.
The minimum land area required is three acres, with a maximum density of 8 dwelling units per
acre. There are required setback standards between dwellings (10 feet), a dwelling and
buildings serving the entire park (15 feet), a dwelling and the edge of pavement (10 feet), and a
dwelling and the park boundary (20 feet). Two parking spaces are required for each dwelling, as
is skirting. Dwellings may be no further than 500 feet away from a fire hydrant, and a site plan
approval is required for any new development. Mobile homes are also allowed for placement
within MHP zones, subject to these same aforementioned conditions.
Recreational vehicles are also allowed for placement - for permanent living - within this
zoning district. There is, however, a limit to the number of RV units which can be placed
within these, outlined in Section 413.C.3:
"3.

Exceptions
Travel trailers, motorized recreational vehicles and other such relocatable
housing that does not meet the definition of either a "mobile home" or of
"manufactured housing" may be occupied within a manufactured housing
park, provided these types of accommodations do not exceed 30 percent
of the total units in the park."
Possible Approach for Compliance
In order to create equity and a consistent set of standards for these parks currently in
existence - staff examined mechanisms already provided for within the current ordinance. It
is clear that there are compliance issues - with the existing special permit ordinances, which
allow specifically for mobile home placement only; with the movement of additional RV units
into parks which do not carry with them an allowance for 30% RV placement; and, with the
difficulty of enforcing regulations which vary from park to park. As such, staff attempted to
find a way to streamline the regulations for all parks, while allowing for some RV placement
within the boundaries of these parks as they exist - directly addressing any demand for
such.
While the current ordinance does address "campground/RV parks", it does not address
them for the purposes of living quarters. Special permits are long-defunct mechanisms for
which a process no longer exists. However, MHP zoning currently provided for in the
ordinance allows placement of all three types of structures. Therefore, it appears the
obvious possibility is to ask the City Council to consider initiation of a rezoning of all existing
parks to MHP zoning. This approach would bring equity to the requirements for the parks,
while limiting the placement of RVs to a minority of the parks - which appears to directly
respond to some of the concerns raised about RVs moving into the city. It would also
legitimize parks for which no documentation can be produced about the initial approval for
their placement.
This solution is not without some difficulties, however, based on the following facts:
•

3 of the 15 parks within the current city limits have acreage smaller than the
minimum three acres, and would be in violation of this provision.

•

Remember that MHP zoning, as discussed on the previous page, only allows for
30% of the total number of units to be RVs. With this current standard, 5 of the
existing parks would be in violation.

•

Also, remember that MHP zoning only allows for a maximum of 8 units per acre.
There are 3 parks which already have more units than the maximum density
requirement would allow.

On a side note: the Zoning Board of Adjustment, a board who follows criteria outlined in
state law, hears request for variances, or deviations from the minimum numerical standards.
Variance requests are evaluated from a perspective of uniqueness and equity, among other
factors. Also, if the number of manufactured housing units within a park increased, the 30%
threshold would increase with it. Lastly, these standards may be a consideration of the
housing committee and decision-making bodies moving forward as they examine the rules
currently in place.
Question for Council consideration
City staff is looking to the Council for guidance as to how to proceed with enforcement of
regulations, while recognizing the "patchwork" of different approval types - or lack thereof which led to the parks in existence today is a complicating factor.

DISCUSSION
AND
POSSIBLE
ACCEPTANCE
OF
DOWNTOWN MASTER DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES
DOCUMENT
PREPARED
BY
CATALYST
URBAN
DEVELOPMENT AS PART OF CED 05-11

Summary: The final document prepared by Catalyst Urban Development as part
of their contract with the City of San Angelo, is being presented for acceptance by
the City Council. This is Task 1.9 of Phase 1 of the project and will close out this
contract.
Secondly, as per the contract, Catalyst cannot proceed into Phase 2 without
approval from the City Council. As such, staff is also seeking direction from Council
regarding proceeding into Phase 2.
Background:
Discussion & Possible Acceptance Item:
In a joint session with the Downtown Development Commission on December 18,
2012, the members from both bodies heard a presentation by Paris Rutherford with
Catalyst Urban Development and held discussion, after which the Council formally
accepted the DDC's recommendation to approve the proposed scope, the Letter of
Intent (with the understanding that staff will present each Phase [1-4] for City
Council's review and approval for further direction), and authorized staff to
negotiate a contract with the terms from the earlier presentation, and to include the
identification of funding sources.
Catalyst Urban Development revised the Letter of Intent to include the approval
between each phase by the City Council. They also submitted a draft contract,
which has been reviewed, amended, discussed, and approved by the City
Attorney's office, and which is attached to this report. Conference calls and
meetings were held between various City staff and Catalyst to work through
insurance requirements, contract structuring, and other related matters.
The finished product, including land analysis, market-based programming, policy
context, ownership evaluation, project/location prioritization, implementation
timetable(s), project packaging, and identification of potential investors/developers
has led to - and is contained within - the attached draft document entitled
"Downtown Master Development Strategies". Acceptance of this document is the
goal behind the first agenda caption item.
Related Vision Item:

Provide adequate amenities for all neighborhoods.
Attract reinvestment.
Develop strategic plan for recruitment.
Examine liquidation of underutilized City properties.

Financial Impact:

The approved Phase I costs were for $68,000, plus
reimbursable expenses capped at $22,000. $66,000 of
the $68,000 has been paid out, while $7200 of the
$22,000 in reimbursable expenses has been paid out.

North Chadbourne Street is identified as a "major arterial street" and is designed to connect collector streets to freeways and other arterials carrying large volumes of traffic at high speeds. Access is secondary and mobility is the primary function of these streets. Zoning History: The property was annexed within the city prior to 1949. As far back as 1964, the property has been zoned Two-Family Residential (RS-2). Applicable Regulations: Allowed uses for this property can be found in Section 310 (Use Table) of the Zoning Ordinance. Development Standards: Nonresidential district standards are outlined in Section 502.B. of the Zoning Ordinance. 3

Vision Plan Map: Related Comp Plan Excerpts: Commercial “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 to better "scale-down" intensity of use from commercial centers to neighborhoods." "...slowly reorganize commercial corridors into clusters..." "Create new physical neighborhoods lined with intermediate uses." connections to transitional and Special Information Traffic Concerns: Changing the zoning from residential to commercial is likely to generate additional traffic than if the property remained as-is. Parking Requirements: Vary depending upon the use of the property, see Section 511. Parking Provided: No parking exists as the tract remains vacant and undeveloped at this time. Density: Surrounding properties are low to medium density residential and commercial in nature. The Vision Plan calls for 'Commercial' type development for the site in question.

  • 48. Responses in Opposition: 0 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. Staff believes that the proposed zone change meets all of the criteria outlined, thus recommending approval of a zone change to General Commercial (CG). This request is compatible with the city's plans and polices, as the Vision Plan envisions the property and much of the properties to the east to be designated as ‘Commercial’. Additionally, properties to the north as well as the parcel directly to the west are designated to be commercial in nature. The category ‘Commercial’ seeks to provide business and retail related opportunities and fits with CO, CG, and CH zoning, and CN zoning. The long- 5
  • 49. range plan calls for future commercial development for the area along North Chadbourne Street between Houston Harte Expressway and West 12th Street, several blocks to the north. Although the site is currently zoned residential, the proposed request is more reflective of aspects in the Vision Plan as well as future development patterns for the area. The request is consistent with aspects of the Zoning Ordinance. Although it was stated that they do not have a specific use in mind, they have discussed ideas of having an office building, water or ice sales, or other something that would fall under the allowed uses in the district. The district will introduce a wide range of uses – 'Retail Sales and Services' for example, provides opportunities for personal services, entertainment and product repair or services for consumer and business goods. Examples may include animal grooming, branch banks, restaurants, hotels, offices and convenience stores (Section 315.G, Zoning Ordinance). Some conditional uses allowed in CG zoning include game halls, equipment rental, vehicle repair (full service repair), warehouse and freight movement, waste-related uses and wholesale trade (Section 310, Zoning Ordinance). Some of the more intensive uses permissible in the district are self-service storage facilities, repair-oriented businesses and limited outdoor storage. The district allows for ‘Type 2: Limited Outdoor Storage’, which prohibits outdoor storage to exceed 1,000 square feet or 10 percent of the total site area, whichever is greater – a privacy fence is not required in this circumstance, unless said property abuts a residential zoning district or use (Sections 504 and 509, Zoning Ordinance). While North Chadbourne is clearly defined as a major commercial corridor, much of the 0 Block of West 8th Street is zoned for residential uses. The lot in question, as well as some adjoining lots remain vacant, open space. While much of the 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. The area already has a good mix of commercial and residential development – at the intersection with North Chadbourne Street is a furniture store, gas station, bakery and specialty clothing store – approval of this request will further solidify the area as part of the nearby commercial corridor. These lots are similar in area and dimension measure roughly 50’ x 100’. A majority of the lots to the north are zoned Two-Family Residential (RS-2), – the property is adjacent to the west is zoned Office Commercial (CO), and Heavy Commercial (CH) immediately east of the site. The proposed CG zoning is an appropriate transition of zoning from CG/CH, CH and CO zoning, within the block (refer to the site map below). This request represents changed conditions to the current Ordinance, in that, RS-2 limits development to residential uses, notably, single-family detached and two-family dwellings (Section 311, Zoning Ordinance). In addition to changing the zoning from 6
  • 50. residential to commercial, the proposed change will allow for greater allowances in building setbacks, maximum height and a higher FAR ratio. In a CG zone, the required front yard or setback is 25 feet, the side or rear yard varies from 0 – 10 feet, depending on whether or not the property abuts a residential use or zoning district (Section 502, Zoning Ordinance). There is no maximum building height for the district and the Floor Area Ratio, FAR, or maximum buildable space is 2 or twice the total area for the lot. This request is consistent with the commercial designation of the Comprehensive Plan, as such an amendment to the Vision Plan Map of this document is not required to approve this request. Staff expects that the proposed zone change may have some impact on the natural environment. The change will introduce a wide range of commercial development opportunities, in both scale and type. That being said, potential impacts are greatly tied to the nature of the project – given the allowed uses for the district, such changes will not significant. The site remains a vacant lot, mainly comprised of open space – a number of trees and vegetation exist on the property, the removal of vegetation in developing the tract will have a relatively small impact on the environment. Staff must consider, given the small lot size, 50’ x 100’ or (5,000 sq ft), future plans may trigger future subdivision requests in the area with the means to enlarge the tract to meet greater demands for large scale commercial projects. Conceivably there can be greater storm water runoffs generated from buildings or structures that have larger building footprints. An internal site review will be conducted by city staff will ensure that any approved project directs runoff away from neighboring properties or require effective screening. The requested zoning represents a community need. 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 rezone the property to something more practical is a conscious step in revitalizing that section of the block. The site boasts close proximity to major roadways and commercial development; the request cleans up and offers a nice transition between existing zoning. The site is within 200 feet of North Chadbourne Street, which is identified as a minor arterial. Houston Harte Expressway is also very accessible from the site. The requested zone change and proposed development will offer suitable infill opportunities for the tract of land that has serve as vacant, open space for many years. It will also enable development which provides a buffer between uses, a transition from neighborhood serving commercial to nearby residential uses and zoning. The location also provides close proximity to shops and other services, such a transition stimulates the environment for walkable communities. The presence of mix uses within a confined space reduces the demand for automobile use and enhances the nature of the area - further creating places where people can live, shop and work, thus establishing sustainable environments. 7

Recommendation: City staff recommends approving, subject to conditions mentioned in this report. Planning Commission recommended approval of this request by a vote of 6-0 on November 18, 2013.
  • 63. History and Background: Last month, the applicants, Southwest Orient Properties, LLC., filed a request to formally abandon the a series of adjoining alleys in the Fairview Addition, Blocks 66, 67 and 74, in north central San Angelo. The immediate area is sandwiched between two rail crossings – one terminates slightly pass the site, to the south, the other is a major rail line that runs across town (across South Bryant Blvd, Knickerbocker Rd and the Loop) and transports freight into the city from the east and west. Close proximity of the rail lines has had a dramatic impact on development in the surrounding area which is a mix of heavy industrial and agricultural land uses. The presence of the railways allow for easy transporting of goods. More specifically, the proposed alleyway runs laterally to the north of Culwell Street. Much of it will be the abandoning of Hughes Street, Florence Street and Velma Street, which spans roughly 680', also in the request to be abandoned is a roughly 20' x 430' alley right-of-way in Blocks 66 and 67 of the Fairview Addition and 20' x 35' alley right-of-way in Block 74 of the Fairview Addition. It area is quite sizeable and measures slightly more than 75,500 square feet. Whenever an alley is officially abandoned, it is divided at the centerpoint and deeded to the adjacent property owners – since the proponent owns much of the adjoining area on either side of the proposed abandonment, if approved and all measures are carried out, much of the abandoned sections will be handed over to the proponent. General Information Existing Zoning: Heavy Manufacturing (MH) Existing Land Use: Southwest Orient Properties, LLC. Surrounding Zoning/Land Use: North: West: South: Heavy Manufacturing (MH) Heavy Manufacturing (MH) Heavy Manufacturing (MH) East: Heavy Manufacturing (MH) Open land Bollman Industries (livestock) Acme Iron & Metal Co.

  • 64. Storm Water/Drainage: Abandoning the alley is not expected to affect drainage in the area. Topography: Abandoning the alley is not expected to change the topography of the area. Water/Sewer Utilities: Water Utilities is requesting for a 20' utility and access easement for the existing water line on the property. The access easement will need to extend from the water line to Hughes right-of-way. Fire Protection: Abandoning the alley is not expected to affect fire protection in the area. Access Management: Abandoning the alley is not expected to affect access management in the area. Notification required: Yes Notifications Sent: 7 Received In favor 0 Received in opposition 0 Special Information Private Utilities: N/A Basis for Recommendation After an internal review of the site, staff finds that there is no real interest in maintaining the requested unimproved street right-of-ways and alleyways. The portions of Hughes Street, Florence Street and Velma Street right-of-ways do not appear to have ever been improved (paved to street specifications) or fully utilized as a street, at any point in time. Currently the proponents, Southwest Orient Properties, LLC., has utilized the site with their operations for quite some time. The triangular shaped tract, bounded by both sides by the railroad tracts, makes serious development of site impractical - the odd configuration of the site restricts future land development of the area. With the exception of a water line that extends slightly within the right-of-way of unimproved Velma Street, no other public utility exist within the identified area. In reviewing the nature of this request, staff has uncovered series abandonments that has occurred in the generalized area between North Bell Street and the westernmost point of the tracts, over the past few years. Approvals of such abandonments, including the abandoned portion situated immediately to the west of the site, further solidify the city's need to relinquish the rights of the specified area. Additionally, abandonment will not negatively impact the accessibility of nearby and adjacent streets and is compatible with aspects of the Thoroughfare Plan for the area.
  • 65. Given the circumstances outlined, it would be more beneficial for the city to relinquish ownership of the identified properties. With abandoning of these sections, staff is requesting that a 20' utility and access easement be required with approval and extend to the Hughes Street right-of-way to allow for city access to the existing water line along Velma Street. Proposed Conditions 1. Provide a survey and metes and bounds decsription of the property to be abandoned, performed under the direction of a registered professional land surveyor. 2. City Water Utilities requires a 20' utility and access easement for the existing water line on the property. The access easement will need to extend from the water line to Hughes Street right-of-way. 3. Replatting the property abandoned and adjacent to the abandonment into one contiguous lot.

Notification Required: Yes Notifications Sent: 18 Responses in Favor: 0
  • 74. Responses in Opposition: 0 Special Information Private Utilities: This abandonment is not anticipated to create any concerns for private utilities Traffic Concerns: Traffic patterns for this area should remain unaffected. This portion of alley has never been improved and the individual lots served by this alleyway are all owned by the proponent of this particular request. Rationale for staff's recommendation: This alleyway has effectively been closed for years. It is un-improved at this time and several trees hinder anyone from actually travelling through this alleyway. The site is surrounded by SAISD property, and the actual alleyway is home to a water and sewer line. Essentially nothing is being gained for the public's benefit for the City to be maintaining this alleyway as a public right-of-way. It would be the best use of the property for it to be abandoned and encompassed by the SAISD which owns property on both sides of the alleyway. As such, SAISD would effectively own the entire Block 32 of the Miles Addition. The only requirement is that an easement be maintained where the current alleyway runs to allow for access and maintenance of the existing water and sewer line currently running in this alleyway. Proposed Conditions 1. Reservation of a 20' open and unobstructed utility easement (where the alleyway currently runs) to access and maintain existing water utilities facilities.

City of San Angelo Memo Meeting Date: December 17, 2013 To: Mayor & City Council members From: AJ Fawver, Interim Director of Development Services Subject: Discussion of handling existing parks Contacts: AJ Fawver, Interim Director of Development Services 657-4210 Caption: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING STRATEGIES FOR OBTAINING COMPLIANCE WITH ZONING ORDINANCE FOR EXISTING PARKS AROUND SAN ANGELO CONTAINING RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, MANUFACTURED HOUSING, AND MOBILE HOMES Summary: In response to the continuing discussions of recreational vehicles (RVs), mobile homes, and manufactured homes, and in the interest of developing an enforcement strategy to deal with an influx in these structures as a result of the Cline Shale play, City staff researched every existing "park" within the city limits. As part of this research, they looked at the following characteristics of each: • • • • • acreage; approximate number of existing spaces; approximate number of structures and their classifications; how the park came to exist, from a regulatory standpoint; and strategies to bring all parks into compliance under a singular approach.
  • 127. Breakdown of Existing Parks There appear to be 18 parks currently in existence within the city limits & the surrounding ETJ. Of these 18, 2 carry the zoning classification of MHP (Manufactured Housing Park), an existing zoning district provided for within the Zoning Ordinance, adopted in 2000. (The next section addresses what MHP zoning allows and its associated requirements.) Of the remaining 16 parks, 2 lie within approved Planned Development (PD) districts. 1 park was in existence prior to the adoption of the first Zoning Ordinance in 1954, and 2 were in existence prior to their annexation into the city, meaning that these three are legally nonconforming. 4 of those 16 have an approved special permit in place allowing specifically "mobile homes", not RVs. 3 are outside the city limits, in the ETJ, and the remaining 3 have long existed, though staff could not locate any approvals or explanation as how they came to be allowed in the first place. The MHP Zoning District The MHP Zoning District is: "intended to provide opportunities for development of land with improvements and utilities specifically for the accommodation of manufactured housing in projects under unified management and control. These parks may include other services and common facilities for use by the residents. Any MHP district may include more than one manufactured housing park as long as each park within the district is under unified management and control." Section 310.E of the Zoning Ordinance allows the following uses within MHP zoning: • Household Living - by right; • Parks & Open Areas - by right; • Community Services - as a Conditional Use; • Telecommunications Facilities - as a Conditional Use; • Golf Courses - as a Special Use; • Campground/Recreational Vehicle Parks - as a Special Use. The only building types allowed in MHP zoning are manufactured homes and mobile homes. The minimum land area required is three acres, with a maximum density of 8 dwelling units per acre. There are required setback standards between dwellings (10 feet), a dwelling and buildings serving the entire park (15 feet), a dwelling and the edge of pavement (10 feet), and a dwelling and the park boundary (20 feet). Two parking spaces are required for each dwelling, as is skirting. Dwellings may be no further than 500 feet away from a fire hydrant, and a site plan approval is required for any new development. Mobile homes are also allowed for placement within MHP zones, subject to these same aforementioned conditions. Recreational vehicles are also allowed for placement - for permanent living - within this zoning district. There is, however, a limit to the number of RV units which can be placed within these, outlined in Section 413.C.3: "3. Exceptions Travel trailers, motorized recreational vehicles and other such relocatable housing that does not meet the definition of either a "mobile home" or of "manufactured housing" may be occupied within a manufactured housing park, provided these types of accommodations do not exceed 30 percent of the total units in the park."
  • 128. Possible Approach for Compliance In order to create equity and a consistent set of standards for these parks currently in existence - staff examined mechanisms already provided for within the current ordinance. It is clear that there are compliance issues - with the existing special permit ordinances, which allow specifically for mobile home placement only; with the movement of additional RV units into parks which do not carry with them an allowance for 30% RV placement; and, with the difficulty of enforcing regulations which vary from park to park. As such, staff attempted to find a way to streamline the regulations for all parks, while allowing for some RV placement within the boundaries of these parks as they exist - directly addressing any demand for such. While the current ordinance does address "campground/RV parks", it does not address them for the purposes of living quarters. Special permits are long-defunct mechanisms for which a process no longer exists. However, MHP zoning currently provided for in the ordinance allows placement of all three types of structures. Therefore, it appears the obvious possibility is to ask the City Council to consider initiation of a rezoning of all existing parks to MHP zoning. This approach would bring equity to the requirements for the parks, while limiting the placement of RVs to a minority of the parks - which appears to directly respond to some of the concerns raised about RVs moving into the city. It would also legitimize parks for which no documentation can be produced about the initial approval for their placement. This solution is not without some difficulties, however, based on the following facts: • 3 of the 15 parks within the current city limits have acreage smaller than the minimum three acres, and would be in violation of this provision. • Remember that MHP zoning, as discussed on the previous page, only allows for 30% of the total number of units to be RVs. With this current standard, 5 of the existing parks would be in violation. • Also, remember that MHP zoning only allows for a maximum of 8 units per acre. There are 3 parks which already have more units than the maximum density requirement would allow. On a side note: the Zoning Board of Adjustment, a board who follows criteria outlined in state law, hears request for variances, or deviations from the minimum numerical standards. Variance requests are evaluated from a perspective of uniqueness and equity, among other factors. Also, if the number of manufactured housing units within a park increased, the 30% threshold would increase with it. Lastly, these standards may be a consideration of the housing committee and decision-making bodies moving forward as they examine the rules currently in place. Question for Council consideration City staff is looking to the Council for guidance as to how to proceed with enforcement of regulations, while recognizing the "patchwork" of different approval types - or lack thereof which led to the parks in existence today is a complicating factor.

City of San Angelo Memo Meeting Date: December 17, 2013 To: Mayor and City Council members From: AJ Fawver, Interim Director of Development Services Subject: Permission to execute contract, with terms previously agreed upon by Council, with top ranked consulting group in response to PL-01-12 Contacts: AJ Fawver, Interim Director of Development Services 657-4210 Captions: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACCEPTANCE OF DOWNTOWN MASTER DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES DOCUMENT PREPARED BY CATALYST URBAN DEVELOPMENT AS PART OF CED 05-11 Summary: The final document prepared by Catalyst Urban Development as part of their contract with the City of San Angelo, is being presented for acceptance by the City Council. This is Task 1.9 of Phase 1 of the project and will close out this contract. Secondly, as per the contract, Catalyst cannot proceed into Phase 2 without approval from the City Council. As such, staff is also seeking direction from Council regarding proceeding into Phase 2. Background: Discussion & Possible Acceptance Item: In a joint session with the Downtown Development Commission on December 18, 2012, the members from both bodies heard a presentation by Paris Rutherford with Catalyst Urban Development and held discussion, after which the Council formally
  • 131. accepted the DDC's recommendation to approve the proposed scope, the Letter of Intent (with the understanding that staff will present each Phase [1-4] for City Council's review and approval for further direction), and authorized staff to negotiate a contract with the terms from the earlier presentation, and to include the identification of funding sources. Catalyst Urban Development revised the Letter of Intent to include the approval between each phase by the City Council. They also submitted a draft contract, which has been reviewed, amended, discussed, and approved by the City Attorney's office, and which is attached to this report. Conference calls and meetings were held between various City staff and Catalyst to work through insurance requirements, contract structuring, and other related matters. The finished product, including land analysis, market-based programming, policy context, ownership evaluation, project/location prioritization, implementation timetable(s), project packaging, and identification of potential investors/developers has led to - and is contained within - the attached draft document entitled "Downtown Master Development Strategies". Acceptance of this document is the goal behind the first agenda caption item. Related Vision Item: Provide adequate amenities for all neighborhoods. Attract reinvestment. Develop strategic plan for recruitment. Examine liquidation of underutilized City properties. Financial Impact: The approved Phase I costs were for $68,000, plus reimbursable expenses capped at $22,000. $66,000 of the $68,000 has been paid out, while $7200 of the $22,000 in reimbursable expenses has been paid out.
