Planning and Community Development Director, Tiffany Foster presented the agenda item and stated that in June 2019, the applicant requested to rezone the subject area from single family and general commercial to accommodate a multi -family development. She stated that the development would be similar to that of the Ravella development in the Eastpoint Subdivision. Additionally, she stated that staff researched additional information concerning the overall multi- family developments within the City and provided to the City Council such information as requested. Mrs. Foster presented two (2) maps created to depict the state of multi -family developments and how they compare to single-family residential areas.

She stated that the second map showed the actual land allocated by zoning for multi -family and for single-family developments. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes August 22, 2019 Page 7 of 14 Mrs. Foster provided information as far back as the year 2014 that was collected from permit data and census information which showed the status of single-family and multi -family developments in and around Baytown.

She further noted that growth was consistent with single family and multi -family developments within the last five (5) years. Additionally, Mrs. Foster stated that there was about 2,239 single family detached lots still pending in process and there were a number of units zoned for multi -family that didn't have any projects, but were included because they did not have to come before Council for a zoning change. Mayor Capetillo requested that Mrs. Foster annually present to Council the updated information of the data previously presented. Neal Wade and Jeff Boutte registered to speak regarding agenda item 4.a. Mr. Jeff Boutte, representative of Windrose Land Services, deferred his time to Neal Wade. Mr. Neal Wade, representative of the property owner, stated that since the year 2005, there was a decrease in home ownership across the country among the people under 35, which caused a rise in apartment development. He stated that data collected from the Ravella Eastpoint apartments showed that 50% or more of the renters that leave go on to purchase homes in Baytown, which demonstrates that apartments were a necessary step in a path towards home ownership. Additionally, Mr. Wade stated that according to the map shown by Mrs. Foster, there was no sites zoned multi -family north of I-10, and there was a huge demand for apartments on the north side of Baytown, but not enough supply. Council Member Presley inquired of Mrs. Foster, if the Ravella Eastpoint complex was not included on the map presented. In response to Council Member Presley's inquiry, Mrs. Foster stated that the Ravella Eastpoint was included in the 11,601 total that was presented, as it was already in the permitting process. She further stated that Ravella was not zoned for multi -family as it was in the development process before the ULDC, so the City did an agreement with them requiring them to build to standard, because they were working towards their development plans prior to the year 2013. Additionally, Mrs. Foster noted that prior to the ULDC there were no standards for multi -family development. Council Member Presley noted his concem for the development being there was no staff recommendation. Mrs. Foster stated that staff does not make recommendations to zoning cases.

Mrs. Foster presented the agenda item and stated that Ordinance No. 14,152 authorizes a development agreement with ExxonMobil for a temporary use of the property at 5903 Bayway Drive as a transfer facility for materials needed for the large ExxonMobil expansion project located by the southwestern boundary of their facility, near Bayway Drive. She stated that City Council recently approved a zoning map amendment from Open Space/ Recreation, Single Family residential to Light Industrial to allow for additional parking and a new lay -down yard near the southwestern entrance to the plant in order to support this project. She noted that ExxonMobil has a dock in the proximity of approximately three (3) miles, but the proposed location was only 0.8 miles from the construction site. Mrs. Foster stated that this agreement waives the requirements from the ULDC for zoning. She stated that the type of activity being done would not be consistent with the zoning designation of the property and the agreement would also include provisions acknowledging the watershed protection zone in order to mitigate the temporary impact along Scott Bay. She noted that there was a signed version from ExxonMobil, but since then there were last minute changes to such. Mayor Capetillo inquired if ExxonMobil expressed an actual time in which access would be needed. Mrs. Foster stated that the agreement was for twelve (12) months, whereas, the City Manager would have the authority to extend for an additional three (3) months. Additionally, Mrs. Foster noted that this agreement does not remove the need for heavy haul permits, which would include a bond for any needed repairs and improvements to the City's road system City Council Regular Meeting Minutes August 22, 2019 Page 9 of 14 impacted by the hauls. In response to Mayor Capetillo's inquiry, Mr. Jean - Luc Rombouts, Construction Manager for the expansion project, stated that their current plan was to land the barges at the dock located on south Bayway Drive, then transfer the equipment from the barges to the transporters. Additionally, he stated that there were approximately 50 pieces of equipment that would be transported, one (1) per night for a period of approximately eight (8) months beginning in 2020.

Mr. Kenny Mungle, the property owner of the subject matter, inquired if Council had any questions for him. Council Member Himsel inquired of the size of the property. Mr. Mungle stated that the property was five (5) acres and noted that the project would take place in the middle of the acres. He stated that the bay was between six (6) to eight (8) feet deep, so there would not be an issue with the barge and further noted that the urgency for this agreement was so that the project could move forward with the other necessary processes, such as, the utilities being put underground. Additionally, Mr. Mungle clarified that the intent was for ExxonMobil to not use the dock, but instead utilize their property. There were no additional questions from council concerning the project; therefore, Mr. Carnes did not speak.
