ROAD
a. Conduct a public hearing concerning a request to amend the City of Baytown's
official zoning map to rezone approximately 1.04 acres, located at 2135 Connally Road, and

subject property to residential to develop a single family house on Connally. She stated that
another request was also made in this area for single family. She stated that this area was
annexed into the city limits in 2017 and should remain as single family. Additionally, Mrs.
Foster stated that staff was going through the city initiated zoning to rezone the frontage of Cedar
Bayou Lynchburg to General Commercial (GC) and in the future would rezone the neighborhood
behind it.
Mayor Capetillo inquired if staff considered looking at which properties fit the density for single
family instead of addressing one track at a time. In response to Mayor Capetillo's inquiry, Mrs.
Foster stated that there was a plan to do so, but it would be done in stages. She further stated that
the first stage was to look at the FLUP for the entire area, which was done approximately two
months prior.

appropriately to avoid a property owner being inconvenienced just to complete a zoning request
form for property that the City would eventually designate for the same requested zoning. Mrs.
Foster stated that there was a timeline on when each section would be annexed, in which this
particular area was done in five different sections and the zoning designations were being done
through a systematic approach.

being annexed into the City of the City's zoning process. Mrs. Foster stated that this area was on
the list to be notified and further noted that because there were various uses to include animals,

8. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE BAYTOWN MAJOR THOROUGHFARE
PLAN (FLUP)
a. Conduct a public hearing regarding an amendment to the Baytown 2025
Comprehensive Plan's Major Thoroughfare Plan to remove a proposed collector road; a
subject area located on the west side of John Martin Road, south of East Wallisville Road
and north of Interstate Highway 10.
At 7:18 P.M., Mayor Capetillo opened and conducted a public hearing regarding an amendment
to the Baytown 2025 Comprehensive Plan's Major Thoroughfare Plan to remove a proposed
collector road; a subject area located on the west side of John Martin Road, south of East
Wallisville Road and north of Interstate Highway 10.
Mrs. Foster presented a summary of the agenda item and stated that this type of amendment has
only been done twice in the last couple of years. She stated that the Major Thoroughfare Plan
("MTFP") creates a mobility grid for development, in which, the grid is normally approximately
a quarter to half a mile for collectors. She stated that this amendment request was for a collector
from Wallisville Road to Interstate 10 providing north south relief between Wade Road and John
Martin Road. She noted that the proposed road was not engineered and could be removed, which
is the applicants request. She further noted that the applicant's goal included constructing a
single-family residential subdivision on approximately 100 acres of land, but stated that the
proposed collector road did not meet the needs of such development.
Council Member Presley inquired if the City would have to do acquisitions on the rights -of -way
prior to development in the subject area. In response to Council Member Presley's inquiry, Mrs.
Foster stated that not necessarily so, because the developer could dedicate the right-of-way.
Council Member Betancourth inquired as to why the developer chose to remove, as opposed to,
redirecting the collector.
Ronnie Anderson and Alan Mueller both registered to speak regarding agenda item 8.a.
Mr. Ronnie Anderson spoke on behalf of Mr. Charles Cox, the owner of the property of the
proposed development. lie stated that the proposed connector road cuts through the middle of the
owner's homestead property from Battlebell south to the Interstate 10 feeder, which is not part of
the original subdivision plans. fie stated that the request was reviewed by the Planning and
Zoning Commission, in which was unanimously voted to remove the road and further requested
for Council to also approve the removal of the road.
Mr. Alan Mueller, a representative of Lomax Development, noted that he represented the
property owner. He stated that the service area would be reduced due to the barriers of the canal
and the creek. He further stated that there would also be a reduction in the density in the area due
to the floodway and floodplain. Mr. Mueller noted that there was no overpass where the
collector would connect to I- 10, which is in the floodway; therefore, all of the traffic would have
to go west, which is discontinuous at Wade Road. Additionally, he stated that because of the
constraints, the density development would be different from the typical one mile grid, which is
the reason to have the road removed as opposed to being rerouted.

Mayor Capetillo inquired if the developer would consider assisting with the traffic impact from
the development. In response to Mayor Capetillo's inquiry, Mr. Mueller noted that the
amendment was for Mr. Cox's entire property tract and further stated regarding the development,
that they understood that they would be required to do a traffic impact analysis and mitigate the
extra impact of such. Mr. Mueller stated that in terms of development, their options were limited
due to the road being there, but if removed would help them move forward to the next phase.
Additionally, he stated that they anticipated having a left turn lane at the entrance to the
subdivision, but would need more information from the traffic impact analysis to provide
additional options.
Council Member Presley inquired if the developer would be raising the development out of the
floodplain being that the homes would be built on the floodplain. Mr. Mueller stated that the
majority of the property in the floodplain would be primarily detention.
Mayor Capetillo requested for Matthew Johnson, Traffic Engineer, to come to the podium and
inquired if staff could come up with options based on the impact of the proposed development,
as it related to Wallisville and John Martin Roads. Mr. Johnson stated that an alignment study
should be done in order to establish the true alignment of the collector, but noted that there were
options. He stated that there were issues that were not in the City limits to include the analysis
showing traffic from the Friendswood Development to the north of Wallisville, the existing
traffic along John Martin, the commercial development at I-10 and John Martin, fact that
Battlebell and Jones Roads did not cross the bayou, and Battlebell Road crossed commercial
water. He further stated that a south connector to I-10 would be a good idea in this area, because
largely without an overpass, those wanting to go north would be able to bypass John Martin and
essentially there would be a signal free connection to the I-10 Feeder road for those wanting to
go to Lee College or westbound.
Council Member Presley inquired if mitigating improvements could be negotiated with the
developer once the development comes before Council. In response to Council Member Presley's
inquiry, Mrs. Foster stated that negotiations could be made with the developer with Council's
approval. Additionally, Mrs. Foster stated that the alignment could be changed or shifted
completely, but further noted that staffs concern was providing a north south connection for the
entire area not just this particular development.
Council Member Johnson inquired as to what would happen if the MTFP was removed and the
developer decided to build and further inquired if any negotiations would be guaranteed, if there
was a PID. In response to Council Member Johnson's inquiries, Mrs. Foster stated that if the
MTFP was removed the developer would not be required to provide a north south connection in
this area and further noted regarding the PID inquiry, that Council would be allowed to revisit
negotiations during the development and during the PID stage, but nothing was guaranteed.
Council Member Presley inquired if the developer would be considering a PID or MUD. Mr.
Mueller stated that their intent was to work towards a PID and further noted that he understood
taking responsibility for developments traffic, but not the existing issues created by others.

Council Member Presley recommended tabling the agenda item for further discussion.
Mayor Capetillo inquired of the time it would take to complete a traffic impact analysis. Mrs.
Foster noted that based on comments from the audience, during the meeting, the timeframe was
pending with or without scoping the collector.
Council Member Hoskins recommended amending the plan to include moving the collector to
the west of the property, instead of removing it altogether, so that the project could move
forward.
Mrs. Foster noted that the amendment was to keep or remove the collector and that the developer
could propose to move the collector to the west, which did not require action from council.
During further discussion, a decision was made to suspend the agenda item indefinitely. Mrs.
Foster inquired for clarity that if the agenda item was suspended indefinitely, would the applicant
be required to reapply and go through the Planning and Zoning Commission again. It was
determined that the applicant would not have to reapply.
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem. Robert C. Hoskins and seconded by Council Member
Chris Presley to suspend agenda item 8.b. to a meeting no later than December 31, 2020. The

prize fee funds collected on charitable bingo activity that occur within the city limits of

Mr. Ignacio Ramirez presented the agenda item and stated, as a reminder to Council, that action

basically because the way the law was written required that if the City wished that a charitable
organization would be able to keep the fees. He stated that if Council still desired such, they

out. I le further stated that by Council taking this action, the charitable organization would keep
