CITIZEN COMMENTS Mayor Capetillo announced a citizen, Ms. Gladys Garcia, signed up to speak. Ms. Garcia discussed her concerns of the warehouses being built across the street from where she lived on Omaha Drive. She noted that their children went to school in that corner,so she questioned if there would be any barriers to stop eighteen (18) wheelers from going through Wallisville to John Martin. Ms. Garcia explained there were too many accidents there with eighteen(18)wheel- ers and that it was very dangerous for their children. Mayor Capetillo announced a citizen, Dr. June Stansky, signed up to speak. Dr. Stansky, a Committee Member of the Baytown Police Advisory Committee (BPAC), wished to speak to Council as a citizen to discuss her concerns over John Martin and the mall. She first discussed how dangerous John Martin was. If they wanted eighteen(18)wheelers on John Martin, Dr. Stansky claimed it needed to be two (2) lanes on each direction. Preferably, with a median in the middle. She provided Council with letters further discussing the issue from a concerned citizen that lived in that area. Dr. Stansky then spoke on their lack of a great shopping area in Baytown. Citizens wanted viable shopping and nice restaurants where the mall had sat. 4.

Ms. McKenzie replied the cushion was in the Unforeseen and New Initiatives. Mayor Capetillo asked if Council Member Betancourth was comfortable with that title or if she would like it to be modified. Ms. McKenzie added another option was to allow that amount to fall under the fund balance instead. Mayor Pro Tern Lester was similarly concerned with that as it would give access to that money instead of it being a fund balance. However, if the CCPD was comfortable with not having a fund balance, then that was their decision. He was also concerned that if Council would not to approve the budget, then they would prolong the process. Council Member Betancourth inquired if the CCPD had a rationale for why they did it this way. Ms. McKenzie answered that she did not think it was a decision by the Board. It had just been a practice for the remaining balance to be moved to Unforeseen to show that they had a balanced budget ending in zero. However, if Council so wished, they could allow that to fall in the fund balance. The Council Members proceeded to deliberate with Staff on whether or not to make that change. Ultimately, Staff's recommendation was for Council to approve the budget as presented. At 6:58 P.M., Mayor Capetillo closed the hearing on the CCPD FY2023-24 Proposed Budget. b. Consider an ordinance approving the Baytown Crime Control and Prevention District Fiscal Year 2023-24 Proposed Budget.

Public Works and Engineering Director Frank Simoneaux answered by discussing the in- creases in the cost of raw water over the last three(3)years. In addition,the cost of chemicals went up significantly and the City was experiencing growth. Mayor Capetillo then asked who was the City's supplier of raw water. Mr. Simoneaux answered with the City of Houston. Mayor Capetillo commented that,in the long term, it would be great if they could find another source of raw water. A motion was made by Council Member Laura Alvarado and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Mike Lester to approve Ordinance No. 15,515, related to Item 4.e. However, there was discussion prior to the vote. Council Member Betancourth appreciated the Mayor for pointing out the rate increase and added that it was recommended by the BAWA. She wished to point out that the BAWA was a citizen- led committee that was appointed by Council. The vote for the motion on the table was as follows: Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Laura Alvarado, Council Member Sarah Graham, Council Member Kenrick Griffith, Council Member Heather Betancourth, Council Member Jacob Powell, and Mayor Pro Tem Mike Lester Nays: None Approved ORDINANCE NO. 15,515 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, APPROVING THE BUDGET FOR THE BAYTOWN AREA WATER AU- THORITY (BAWA) FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2023, AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2024; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. 5. TEXT AMENDMENTS TO THE UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE (ULDC) TO CHANGE SECTION 1.26 AND 2.10 a. Conduct a public hearing for text amendments to the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) to change Section 1.26 Rezoning, Special Use Permits, and Zoning Text Amendments and Section 2.10 Land Use Conditions Table A-40,Non-Residential Categories, concerning certain language addressing Warehouse and Freight Movement, Wholesale Trade. At 7:03 P.M.,Mayor Capetillo opened the public hearing for text amendments to the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) to change Section 1.26 Rezoning, Special Use Permits, and Zoning Text Amendments and Section 2.10 Land Use Conditions Table A-40, Non-Residential Catego- ries,concerning certain language addressing Warehouse and Freight Movement,Wholesale Trade. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes August 10,2023 Page 7 of 20 Planning and Development Director Martin Scribner summarized the subject matter of the hearing. The amendment in front of Council was to add a condition for a Special Use Permit(SUP)for any warehouse that would go in a General Commercial(GC)District.The current code had eleven(11) conditions that, if met, would allow the building of warehouses in a GC District. Mr. Scribner noted their current process did not have anything that would go before the Planning and Zoning Commission nor Council. If a warehouse met the conditions, then they could apply for the permit. However, Staff recognized that there were a lot of concerned citizens that were worried about the warehouses. Thus, the proposal would add another condition to require a SUP to be issued. Mr. Scribner noted that permit does go through the Planning and Zoning Commission and Council. With that, it would provide a place for citizens to voice their concerns. The Commission held a public hearing in June and recommended approval. Staff similarly recommended approval. The Council Members proceeded to question the current and proposed process with regard to Items 8.a. and 8.b. However, that application was withdrawn and therefore not considered by Council. Council Member Alvarado shared that, on the IH-10 corridor, she would like for Council to con- template having buffers or radiuses where they would not allow additional warehouses. She also recommended that they have a study to determine if they were at capacity with warehouses. Over- all, she hoped they could limit the number of warehouses on IH-10. Mr. Scribner suggested they go back to the Future Land Use Map for rezones so that Council could make that determination. Council Member Betancourth questioned why they should not just restrict warehousing, fright movement, and logistic operations from GC altogether instead of adding to the already exhaustive list of regulations. Mr. Scribner replied that was absolutely an option that Staff was exploring. However, when they remove uses from a particular district, there would be a few warehouses in GC that would become nonconforming. Staff needed time to figure out how to work with those. Council Member Betancourth wished to move forward with that discussion, have a vote, and to give Staff the leniency to figure out that nonconforming issue. She believed the urgency was more with future development than with the ones that were already there. Thus, her preference was not to add a twelfth condition but to have an item for Council to vote on not having warehousing in GC. Council Member Powell agreed. In the interim, however, he agreed with requiring the SUP from this point forward. Mayor Pro Tem Mike Lester agreed with both Council Members' points. Mayor Capetillo proposed they move from the public hearing to the next item. There, Staff could present the zoning change so that warehouses would not be allowed in GC. Council could then do a moratorium on that between now and whenever Staff could deliver that item for them to vote on. At 7:32 P.M., Mayor Capetillo closed the public hearing for the text amendments to the ULDC. b. Consider an ordinance for proposed text amendments to the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) to change Section 1.26 Rezoning, Special Use Permits, and Zoning Text Amendments and Section 2.10 Land Use Conditions Table A-40, Non- Residential Categories, concerning certain language addressing Warehouse and Freight Movement,Wholesale Trade. Mayor Capetillo opened the item deliberating with Staff on moving forward with a moratorium on General Commercial (GC), as discussed in Item 5.a. Planning and Development Director Martin Scribner noted that because this was a zoning change, it would have to go back to the Planning City Council Regular Meeting Minutes August 10,2023 Page 8 of 20 and Zoning Commission. If Council were to approve what was presented, it would be effective in ten (10) days. Anything else that Council would do would not be effective at least for the next sixty (60) days. Thus, he did not believe a moratorium would accomplish anything. He recom- mended for Council to approve the item, as is, to give Staff this band aid. Then, Staff would bring the matter back to Council's first meeting in October to remove that use from GC altogether. Mayor Capetillo was fine with the suggestion. However, considering that they had a ten (10) day time period, he questioned if Council had the ability to approve this as "effective immediately." City Attorney Scott Lemond answered they could not because it did have a penalty,and a violation would subject someone to a fine.Council Member Graham expressed her concern with not moving forward with the moratorium as individuals could push their projects forward.Mr. Scribner assured her that they could get the amendment done faster than a moratorium. Staff understood it was a band aid,but the amendment would be better than going"naked" for the next sixty(60)days. Mr. Scribner and Planning and Development Assistant Director Ryan Hvitlok further assured Council that the Special Use Permit (SUP) did provide better protection than the moratorium. While he did not like putting a band aid on this, Mayor Pro Tem Lester reasoned that it would at least give them protection until they cleaned it up. Mayor Capetillo summarized that Council would consider the SUP in GC as a band aid until Staff could legally provide Council a consider- ation to remove warehouses out of GC. The Council Members understood and agreed. A motion was made by Council Member Heather Betancourth and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Mike Lester to approve Ordinance No. 15,516, related to Item 5.b. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Laura Alvarado, Council Member Sarah Graham, Council Member Kenrick Griffith, Council Member Heather Betancourth, Council Member Jacob Powell, and Mayor Pro Tem Mike Lester Nays: None Approved ORDINANCE NO. 15,516 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AP- PENDIX A"UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE," ARTICLE I "GENERAL," DIVISION 3 "ADMINISTRATION AND PROCEDURES," SECTION 1.26, "RE- ZONING, SPECIAL USE PERMITS, AND ZONING TEXT AMENDMENTS;" AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES,BAYTOWN,TEXAS,APPENDIX A "UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE," ARTICLE II "USE DISTRICTS," DI- VISION 3 "LAND USE TABLES AND CONDITIONS," SECTION 2.10, "LAND USE CONDITIONS;" SUBSECTION A "NON-RESIDENTIAL CATEGORIES" TO ADD A CONDITION FOR WAREHOUSE AND FREIGHT MOVEMENT, LOGIS- TICS, WHOLESALE TRADE IN A GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONING DIS- TRICT; PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE; CONTAINING A SAVINGS CLAUSE;AND PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLICATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF.

Conduct a public hearing regarding proposed text amendments to the Unified Land Development Code(ULDC)to change Section 2.06 Special Purpose Zoning Districts and add Section 2.081 Industrial Planned Unit Developments,to add a new zoning district. At 7:43 P.M., Mayor Capetillo opened the public hearing regarding proposed text amendments to the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) to change Section 2.06 Special Purpose Zoning Districts and add Section 2.081 Industrial Planned Unit Developments. Planning and Development Director Martin Scribner summarized the subject matter of the hearing. The proposed language would add a new zoning district to the ULDC: the Industrial Planned Unit Development(IPUD). Mr. Scribner explained the proposed language would allow for more flexi- bility within industrial areas. In other words, it would accommodate and allow the City to add conditions whether it came from Staff, the Planning and Zoning Commission, or Council. In dis- cussing the rezone process, Mr. Scribner noted that IPUDs would allow the City to lock in a site plan. A regular rezone to Light Industrial (LI) or Heavy Industrial (HI) did not require a site plan. Furthermore, PUDs had a two (2) year expiration date with a one (1) year extension. An IPUD would not expire. Mr. Scribner additionally noted that an IPUD was different than a PUD because it would not require a mix of uses. IPUDs would be specific to industrial uses. It had less emphasis on additional amenities and more emphasis on lessening their impact to the neighboring properties. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing in June where they had no public comments. Thus, Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval. Council Member Betancourth questioned if there was a current project that was motivating this change. Mr. Scribner replied there was and gave further details on that project. City Manger Jason Reynolds later noted that the application on that project had been tentatively pulled. Council Mem- ber Betancourth was happy to hear that because she was worried about legislating based on one (1) project, property owner, or business. She explained that appeared prejudicial. While she un- derstood Staffs motivation, Council Member Betancourth was happy to hear that it would not apply to anyone in particular. It would just be something generic they would do moving forward. Council Member Powell commented that he liked the idea of elevating the look of industrials. With regard to the IPUD not expiring,he questioned if a property owner sold their property,would that IPUD transfer to the new property owner? Mr. Scribner confirmed it would. Next, Council Member Powell asked since IPUDs would not require a mix of zoning or uses, would it prohibit that? Mr. Scribner responded that they would look at the underlying zoning to dictate that. As the IPUD would be an overlay, LI would allow for certain types of warehouse retail, for example. Otherwise, an IPUD would not allow that. It would just further those existing regulations. Mayor Capetillo inquired over which zones the IPUD would be applied to. Mr. Scribner answered LI and HI. Lastly, Mayor Capetillo questioned if the IPUD would also lock in presented illustra- tions of what their façade would look like. Mr. Scribner confirmed it would. At 7:58 P.M.,Mayor Capetillo closed the hearing for the proposed text amendments to the ULDC. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes August 10,2023 Page 10 of 20 b.

REZONE OF APPROXIMATELY 0.41 ACRES LOCATED AT 9 NORTHRIDGE DRIVE a. Conduct a public hearing concerning a request to amend the official zoning map to rezone approximately 0.41 acres located at 9 Northridge Drive from a General Commercial (GC) to a Mixed Residential at Low to a Medium Densities (SF2)zoning district. At 7:58 P.M., Mayor Capetillo opened the public hearing concerning a request to amend the offi- cial zoning map to rezone approximately 0.41 acres located at 9 Northridge Drive from a General Commercial (GC) to a Mixed Residential at Low to a Medium Densities (SF2)zoning district. Planning and Development Assistant Director Ryan Hvitlok summarized the subject matter of the hearing. The item was for a rezone request for a property at Northridge Drive from GC to SF2. Mr. Hvitlok displayed aerial images of the property and noted that the Future Land Use Map did call for that area to be SF2. Thus, Staff recommended approval. The Planning and Zoning Com- mission recommended unanimously for Council's approval. Mr. Hvitlok lastly shared that the ap- plicant was proposing to build two (2)residential units on the property.

Chief Financial Officer Teresa McKenzie presented the budget amendment to the FY2023 General Fund to Council with the table below. She noted that this was a result of the projects that were moved out of the Municipal Development District (MDD)to the FY2023 General Fund.

However, there was discussion prior to the vote which was followed by another motion to approve Item 9.a. Considering their discussions in the Work Session, Council Member Betancourth questioned if Staff was absolutely sure that their recommendation was to spend $1.2 million in contingency on park projects. City Manager Jason Reynolds answered yes because he gave his word that this would be brought to Council for funding and that the funding was available. On that transfer of funds, Mayor Capetillo questioned if that would be for their 2023-2024 budget or their current budget. Mr. Reynolds replied it was for the current budget. All the projects were approved by the MDD for their 2022-2023 budget. Ms. McKenzie added that they moved the money that was in FY2023 for the MDD to the General Fund's Capital Improvement Plan Funds (CIPF). The transfer would not address the projects in FY2024. Council Member Powell noted that the funding for these projects were planned to be done this budget year. As they had a month or two left in this budget year, he wondered if it was realistic to get all of these things done in that time. Interim Assistant City Manager Brant Gary replied,no, it would not get done in FY2023,but the appropriation would not go away. Council Member Graham expressed that she wanted to go with Staffs recommendation and move this item forward. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes August 10,2023 Page 13 of 20 Council Member Betancourth summarized that she understood that the MDD was supposed to pay for these projects and it ran out of money. Now, Staff was asking Council to supplement it with the General Fund. She was not sure, philosophically, if that was something she could support. Council Member Graham countered that MDD was not out of money. They were re-appropriating the money. She recalled that was talked about extensively at their MDD Meeting. She did not think there would be this much back and forth on this item because it was approved. Council Member Graham expressed that this was her initial fear with moving the money around. Council Member Griffith commented that these projects were already set aside and that people were expecting these amenities. Council Member Powell affirmed he did not disagree that they were approved. They were approved, but the money was not there anymore. Now, Council was being asked to fund the projects out of a different budget. Thus, he questioned if these were the right projects they needed to go after at that time. On that note, Mayor Pro Tem Lester discussed over the different projects and gave his recommendations on what to move forward with. Upon further discussion,Mayor Capetillo ultimately proceeded to entertain another motion for the item to be considered as presented. The vote was carried out by a show of hands. A second motion was made by Council Member Sarah Graham and seconded by Council Member Kenrick Griffith to approve Ordinance No. 15,519, related to Item 9.a. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Laura Alvarado, Council Member Sarah Graham, Council Member Kenrick Griffith, and Mayor Pro Tern Mike Lester Nays: Council Member Heather Betancourth and Council Member Jacob Powell Approved ORDINANCE NO. 15,519 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE CITY OF BAYTOWN'S GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 BUDGET TO COVER PARKS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS (CIP) THAT WERE PREVI- OUSLY APPROPRIATED IN THE MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (MDD)BUDGET; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. 10. PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS a. Consider a resolution authorizing an application submittal to the US Department of Transportation's FY2023 Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative,Efficient,and Cost-Saving Transportation (PROTECT) Program on behalf of the Office of Emergency Management. Emergency Management Coordinator David Alamia presented the item concerning the United States' Department of Transportation (USDOT) FY2023 Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-Saving Transportation(PROTECT)Program. He relayed that Staff was requesting Council's approval to submit a grant application for their Evacuation and City Council Regular Meeting Minutes August 10,2023 Page 14 of 20 Preparedness Project. Their project's purpose would be to conduct an evacuation study to assess traffic flows,vulnerable populations,hazard scenarios impacting transportation systems, et cetera. Mr. Alamia additionally noted that the project would include a substantial amount of funding for community outreach, public education, as well as an exercise and planning update for the City's current evacuation plan. The total amount of the grant was $700,000 with no federal cost share. Mr. Alamia ended on the note that Staff recommended approval. A motion was made by Council Member Sarah Graham and seconded by Council Member Laura Alvarado to approve Resolution No. 2,853, related to Item 10.a.
