matter of the hearing. "Council approved this Special Use Permit at the October 12th meeting. The
applicant has come back before the Planning and Zoning Commission as well as now the City
Council to amend their approved Special Use Permit. They originally were proposing a 9-building
warehouse development of approximately 293,400 square feet. The applicant has proposed to en-
large that project to 438,960 square feet. That is still under the 50% maximum allowed expansion
under the new ordinance that you all passed that limits warehouse development in the General
Commercial District."
Ryan Sweeney displayed a rendering of the proposed development and clarified the reason for the
change in size of the project and addressed Council's questions and concerns.

is, as was mentioned, warehouses. Although less intensive than what you're proposing here is not

liked by the surrounding area. We heard from some residents back in October when we approved
this, and now it's a 490 o increase right under that 500 o max and so that concerns me".

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
December 14,2023
Page 6 of 25
Planning and Development Services Director Martin Scribner advised Council this is an amend-
ment to the Development Agreement for Crossings at Baytown. The only amendment is to extend
their deadline since they have their financing secured. They need a little bit more time, and this
would extend the deadline to coincide with the extension of the zoning PUD, which was approved
the end of March. Otherwise, all the other terms of that agreement would stay the same.
A motion was made by Council Member Laura Alvarado and seconded by Council Member Sarah
Graham to approve Ordinance No. 15,637, related to Item 6.a. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Laura Alvarado, Council
Member Sarah Graham, Council Member Kenrick Griffith, Council
Member Jacob Powell, and Mayor Pro Tem Mike Lester
Nays: None
Approved
ORDINANCE NO. 15,637

INCIDE WITH THE EXPIRATION OF THE PLANNED UNIT DEVEL-
OPMENT, ADDRESS MINOR ERRORS IN THE AGREEMENT, AND
UPDATE REFERENCES TO THE AGREEMENT'S EXHIBITS; MAK-
ING FINDINGS; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE

b. Consider an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Con-
tingency Fee and Retainer Agreement with Frazer Law, PLC, and Ventura Law to perform
legal services in connection with potential litigation regarding the presence of Polyfluoroal-
kyl substances(PFAS),including, but not limited to, PFOA and/or PFOS,in drinking water,
wastewater, and soil in the City's property.
City Attorney Scott Lemond advised Council that state law requires that before the City can enter
into a Contingency Fee Agreement that agreement must go to the Attorney General for approval.
"So, we're asking for your approval to send this request to the Attorney General. The background
is that there has been multi-district litigation in federal court over the existence of PFAS in water
systems and cities".
A motion was made by Council Member Kenrick Griffith and seconded by Council Member Sarah
Graham to approve Ordinance No. 15,638, related to Item 6.b. The vote was as follows:

C. Consider an ordinance authorizing a Chapter 212 Agreement with Tinci, Inc.
Mayor Capetillo pushed Item 6.c. to the next Council meeting. No action was taken.
d. Consider an ordinance rescinding the Property Dedication Agreement with Chevron
Phillips Chemical Company regarding an 81.589-acre tract of land adjacent to Russell Park.
Economic Development Manager Brian Moran advised Council that Chevron Phillips Chemical
Company donated roughly 82 acres of land located adjacent to Russell Park to be utilized for
equestrian trails and green space. The special warranty deed included with this allowed Chevron
to claim the 82 acres within a 50-year frame. If they adhered to certain conditions for which they
provided a 12-month written notice for the reconveyance as well as paying the fair market value
for any improvements, there are none at this time. Mr. Moran then solicited questions from Coun-
cil.
Mayor Capetillo stated this item will be taken out of order and discussed in Executive Session
pursuant to Government Code 551.071 before any action is taken.
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Mike Lester and seconded by Council Member Jacob

e. Consider an ordinance amending the lease agreement of approximately 117.12 acres
of land to Build Baytown I, LLC, for the development and operation of a public golf course,
located generally on the northwest side of Evergreen Road, adjacent to Bay hill Drive.
Planning and Development Services Director Martin Scribner advised Council the lease for the
T36 property had an 8-acre piece towards the north end of the city-owned property. That property
in the lease is named the "Option Track". The developer has the first option to lease that part of
the property as well,but there were some dates on that and some deadlines. The first deadline came
and went at the one-year mark of the anniversary of the signing of the first lease agreement. At
that time, we felt that it was prudent to give them an extension to opt to exercise that option so that
we could see if the golf course was going to be built, operate correctly, and be successful. Cur-
rently, the golf course is in partial operation at this stage. They're not quite finished. So, staff is
recommending that we extend that option date for another 90 days, to give it just a little bit more
time.Then the developer can decide whether or not to exercise that lease option sometime between
now and the end of March.
A motion was made by Council Member Sarah Graham and seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Mike
Lester to approve Ordinance No. 15,639, related to Item 6.e. The vote was as follows:
Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Laura Alvarado, Council
Member Sarah Graham, Council Member Kenrick Griffith, Council
Member Jacob Powell, and Mayor Pro Tem Mike Lester
Nays: None
Mayor Pro Tern Lester questioned if 90 days would be enough time, to which City Manager Jason
Reynolds stated, "he thinks that 120 days would be sufficient since the golf course is operational,
if Council was comfortable.
Mr. Scribner commented, "I think the only tricky part about the timing would be the fact that the
property has the option needs a rezone in order to do anything of a commercial nature, which is
what they've got in mind. There is a 60-day, or maybe 90-day period for them to do that part of it
too. I'm unclear as to whether they want to get through that part before they exercise the option,
but that is just part of the timing issue".
Council Member Graham made a motion to amend Item 6.e. from 90 days to 120 days to begin
the rezoning process and seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Lester.

E Consider an ordinance authorizing Public Necessity for one (1) tract of land for the
Fire Station 2 Replacement Project.
Public Works and Engineering Director Frank Simoneaux advised Council this item is related to
the replacement of Fire Station 2, which is located across City Hall on Market Street. The facility
is scheduled to be relocated at the old Utility Building, which is next to the Community Center.
However, for proper operation and to reduce response times, staff feels it will be beneficial to
provide a connection to West Main Street. So, staff is asking for a declaration of public necessity,
which would specify the process the city would use to go through the land acquisition of the tract
which provides a connection to West Main Street since the city already owns the tract with Calypso
Cove. Staff recommends approval of this item.
A motion was made by Council Member Laura Alvarado and seconded by Council Member Jacob
Powell to approve Ordinance No. 15,640, related to Item 6.f. The vote was as follows:

A motion was made by Council Member Laura Alvarado and seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Mike
Lester to approve Ordinance No. 15,641, related to Item 6.g.
Mayor Capetillo commented, "I know that in previous discussions, when the 1947 fire engine was
refurbished, the idea was tossed around that when this station was rebuilt or redesigned it could
possibly include the ability for that engine to be displayed there".
Fire Chief Kenneth Dobson responded, "We've had the conversations. I know a while back about
displaying the truck there. I don't know if we're going to consider that in this plan. We really need
the space for operational purposes. We have other places where we can display it for now as well."

Holiday Parade.
• The Planning Development Services and the Building Department for all the assistance and collab-
oration in getting T36 up and running.

fessionals.

Mr. Reynolds reminded Council that the water bills for the month of December."You will see the water
bill in January reflect the increase that was discussed in the budget cycle in September. It is a 60 o
increase,but do not let that number scare you. The usage that is around 2,000 gallons, that's a fifty-cent
increase for an average 2,000-gallon bill and three dollars for an average 6,000-gallon use at homes.
So, that will go into effect on the next bill. I just wanted to bring awareness that is coming up".

Trail and it's amazing. Ms. Graham thanked the Staff and everyone involved.

quite open yet,but it's going to be open soon.There's been a reconstruction project started on the streets
in Bay Oaks Harbor, and I'm assuming they're going to be concrete, which is what we've discussed. I
know the citizens down there are really looking forward to that. Stormwater issues, for which I'm a big
stormwater proponent, and Frank has done a very good job. A lot of the ditches on Kilgore, Cedar
Bayou, Pecan Manor, North Seal, and East Texas Avenue, they're digging out the ditches and getting
ready for the late winter storms and spring runoffs. We did have a sinkhole at Cedar Bayou and Kilgore,
and they responded very quickly. Within a day they had that sinkhole refilled in and repaired right there
at the junior high. Striping on Evergreen and Causeway. Asphalt repairs have been completed on East
Texas and Bayou Road, Tri City Beach Road, East Texas Avenue, and Marlin Lane. A lot of good
general things are going on in the district, as we all see. Kudos to Frank and his team, but we really
appreciate the efforts for that".
