a. Conduct the first public hearing regarding the proposed disannexation of
approximately 43.8 acres located on the north side of the I -10 feeder road, west of
Thompson Road, legally known as a portion of land out of the Nathaniel Lynch Survey,
Abstract 55, Harris County, Texas.
Mayor DonCarlos open the first public hearing regarding the proposed disannexation of
approximately 43.8 acres located on the north side of the I -10 feeder road, west of Thompson
Road, legally known as a portion of land out of the Nathaniel Lynch Survey, Abstract 55, Harris
County, Texas at 6:48 p.m.
City Manager Leiper stated that the City entered into a Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA)
with Lake Municipal Utility District (Lake MUD) and annexed a portion of its land for limited
purposes on June 27, 2005. The agreement allowed the City to impose certain regulations and to
collect sales and use tax on any commercial development in the area. Since that time, the area
has been developed into residential lots as West Meadows subdivision instead of the commercial
uses by Lake MUD. The City and Lake MUD agree to the disannexation of this area because
there are no plans for commercial development within the West Meadows subdivision.
With there being no one signed up to speak on this item, Mayor DonCarlos closed this public
hearing at 6:49 p.m.
4. REZONING 10.01 ACRES OF LAND
a. Conduct the public hearing regarding an application to rezone 10.01 -acres located
approximately 2,000 feet west of SH 146 adjacent to the Interstate 10 eastbound feeder
road from an Open Space /Recreation (OR) zoning district to a General Commercial (GC)
zoning district for the proposed Bayou Bend RV Park.
Mayor DonCarlos opened the public hearing at allowing all interested parties to speak and be
heard regarding an application to rezone a 10.01 -acre parcel of land located 2,000 feet west of

zoning district to a General Commercial (GC) zoning district for the proposed Bayou Bend RV
Park at 6:50 p.m.

City Manager Leiper stated that the parcel in question was recently annexed by the City on May
23, 2013, and that all newly annexed properties are placed in an Open Space /Recreation (OR)
zoning district. It was the intent at the time of the annexation that the owner would request
rezoning, as OR does not allow for the development of RV parks.
City Manager Leiper stated that the RV Park will adhere to the standards pursuant to Chapter 58
of the Code regulating development and licensing of RV parks and the Planning and Zoning
Commission voted in favor of the zoning amendment at their July 16`h meeting.
With there being no one signed up to speak on this item, Mayor DonCarlos closed the public
hearing at 5:51 p.m.

5. REZONING COUNTRY CLUB OAKS SUBDIVISION
a. Conduct a public hearing regarding an application to amend the Unified Land
Development Code to create a new zoning district called Country Club Limited (CCLO that
would use the same outline and information as SFI zoning district but would disallow
duplexes, accessory dwelling units, and the operation of home businesses.
Mayor DonCarlos opened a public hearing allowing all interested parties to speak and be heard
regarding an application to amend the text of the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) in
order to create a new zoning district. This new district mirrors the current SFI zoning district
requirements with the exceptions of not allowing accessory dwelling units, duplexes and home
occupations at 6:52 p.m.
City Manager Leiper stated that when the City adopted the zoning map for the ULDC, this issue
came forward and Council, at that time, directed the residents to the Planning and Zoning
Commission for further processing, and the results of that process is before the Council this
evening.
City Manager Leiper stated that Country Club Oaks has 17 sections in it over the course of its
development; one third of those are large lots and two thirds of those are small lots. The
difference in the lots sizes is the reason why a portion of Country Club Oaks is zoned as SF 1 and
the other portion is SF2. City Manager Leiper also stated that one of the goals of the ULDC
process was to zone areas within the City according to what was on the ground and have a map
with the least amount of non - conforming uses as possible.
Currently, under the newly adopted ULDC, the following are allowed:
1. Accessory dwelling units as an accessory use to an otherwise allowed detached single -
family dwelling;
2. A home occupation that does not exceed 25% of the heated/air conditioned space of the
dwelling unit; and
3. Duplexes throughout the currently zoned SF2 parcels generally located in the eastern
sections of Country Club Oaks.
City Manager Leiper stated that some residents of Country Club Oaks object to accessory
dwellings, home occupations and duplexes in their neighborhood basing that objection on the
deed restrictions. He further stated that duplexes and home occupations were allowed in the
zoning district applicable to the Country Club Oaks subdivision in the previous 1995 zoning
code; and to our knowledge, there have been no applications to construct a duplex since then.
Mr. Leiper also stated that home occupations are not allowed under the Country Club Oaks deed
restrictions; however, the association in Country Club Oaks is a civic association; and at this
time, the members of the association have stated that they cannot compel all property owners to
pay fees resulting in no funding for the civic association to enforce its deed restrictions. The city
does not enforce deed restrictions.

July 25, 2013
Page 6 of 25
City Manager Leiper stated that an alternative to eliminating the accessory dwellings completely
and in an effort to help mitigate some of the residents' concerns, he recommended creating a city
wide amendment to create a special use permit for the construction of accessory dwellings. This
special use permit would require notification to the residents and approval through the Planning
and Zoning Commission and the Council prior to being built. The City Manager recommended
that any amendments to the ULDC be on a citywide scale in order to ensure the Code remains
unified and does not become spot zoned or unmanageable. He cautioned Council against
creating zones that mirror deed restrictions because it would make its enforcement
unmanageable.
Two residents signed up to speak on this item.
Cliff Clemens, 4502 Green Tea Drive, stated that he resides within Country Club Oaks and
requested that the Council approve the new zoning category for Country Club Oaks, in order to
keep the entire residential area in one zoning category and not SF1 and SF2, and to ensure that
accessory dwellings and duplexes not be allowed in this area. He further stated that, he as well
as other residents, had reservations regarding the impact of these dwellings, many of which are
used as rental properties, on their property values.
City Manager Leiper stated, in response to Mr. Clemens' comments, that the current zoning SF 1
and SF2 has no impact on the deeds restrictions that are currently in place within Country Club
Oaks. He further stated that the deed restrictions superseded the zoning codes because state laws
allows for the most restrictive regulations apply. The difference here is that the City is
responsible for enforcing the zoning code while the deed restrictions are enforced by the
homeowners association or civic association. City Manager Leiper reiterated that duplexes have
been allowed in this area since 1995 and there have been no duplexes built since that time
because the deed restrictions prohibit it.
Kyle Rhodes, 5111 Glen Haven Drive, stated that he resides within Country Club Oaks and
supported the idea that this area remain under one zoning and not be split into two sections. He
questioned whether Country Club Limited could be grandfathered with its more restrictive rules
under the deed regulations instead of those under the new SF 1 and S172 zoning.
Mayor DonCarlos stated that he understood the resident's major concerns regarding what people
can and cannot do in their neighborhoods and to protect their property values.
City Manager Leiper in response to a question from Mayor DonCarlos stated that, a special use
permit would be required for accessory dwellings only and not for duplexes. If someone wanted
to build a duplex in Country Club Oaks, they would be in compliance with city regulations,
therefore, the construction would have to be stopped by the homeowner's association through
their deed restrictions.
Also, City Manager Leiper stated that in the current Code there are two separate rules regulating
the zoning in Country Club Oaks because the lots are two separate sizes, which impacts the
density, the setbacks, etc. Before the new Code, the City only had one residential zoning called
Neighborhood Conservation (NC) which was the same specifications for all residential areas
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
July 25, 2013
Page 7 of 25
regardless of whether the lots sizes are small or large. The new Code encourages new residential
development with larger lot sizes, which resulted in the SF1 and SF1 distinction, with the SF2
having larger lot sizes.
In response to Mr. Rhodes' question regarding the grandfathering rules of non - conforming
structures, City Manager Leiper stated that, it is not necessary to make rules for every non-
conforming structure as the zoning takes care of that aspect. The new zoning will come into
effect when there is a vacant lot or when there is sufficient damage to an existing home that they
would need to rebuild the structure. In the latter case, the resident would need to seek a variance,
in order to build the structure back to its original state because it would not be in conformity with
the new zoning. Their other option would be to build a structure under the new rules, setbacks,
etc.
Further, City Manager Leiper clarified that the intent of the special use permit for accessory
buildings would be to add one more requirement to the already existing 14, in order to have the
applicant request a special use permit that would then go through the Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council for approval. Ms. Kelly Carpenter, Director of Planning and
Development Services concurred with City Manager Leiper in stating that the special use permit
would go to the Planning and Zoning Commission and then to Council for approval; this permit
would follow the same process as that of a rezoning case, and would require six votes of
approval by the Council to pass.
City Manager Leiper stated that he understood the resident's concerns regarding duplexes;
however, there have been no duplexes built in this area in the last 17 years, and the zoning has
not changed in that aspect; duplexes are still allowed, but the deed restrictions prohibit them.
City Manager Leiper again stated that his recommendation regarding zoning was anything that
was decided needed to be city wide and not just for one section of the city or one neighborhood.
He stated that it was important to keep the unified part in the Unified Land Development Code,
in order that have the same protections regarding accessory dwellings.
Council Member Capetillo stated that he felt that the special use permit for accessory dwellings
would help meet a part of the resident's concerns regarding accessory dwellings. Council
Member Sheley concurred and stated that the 14 requirements, plus the special use permit
addition, gave residents amble notice of what is being built in their neighborhoods. Council
Member Terry Sain stated that due to his owning property in Country Club Oaks, he has a
conflict of interest regarding this item and would have to refrain from partaking in the discussion
and the eventual vote related to this item.
City Manager Leiper, in response to a question by Council Member Renteria stated that, the
zoning did not supersede the deed restrictions already in place in Country Club Oaks. He further
stated that deed restrictions that have less stringent regulation cannot supersede than zoning laws.
Council Member McCartney stated that he felt that a new city wide special use permit would
help alleviate some of the concerns of the Country Club residents. Council Member Hoskins
stated that his concern regarding this item is that by creating a special zone for this one area
would then prompt other neighborhoods to request that certain provisions be added of changed to
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
July 25, 2013
Page 8 of 25
their zoning. This trend would then place the city back in the position it was before the ULDC,
so he felt it was important to keep and fix what we have and not splinter it up.
City Manager Leiper stated that because these are zoning items, Council is required to take a
vote. They could either make a motion to approve or disapprove the item, depending on the will
of the Council and then vote. He further stated that for anyone who would want to build a
special use permit for an accessory dwelling, they would file their application with the Planning
Department, which would then be processed through the Planning and Zoning Commission and
then to the Council for action.
After a brief discussion, Council directed Ms. Carpenter to move forward and create the special
use permit language and process. Ms. Carpenter stated that staff would create the process,
advertise and hold two public hearings with the Planning and Zoning Commission, and then
bring this item before the Council; she stated that staff could have this item before the Council
probably in the second Council meeting in September.
City Manager Leiper, in response to a question by Council Member Capetillo stated that,
Country Club Oaks was not divided; it remained a whole unit, but that the subdivision now had
two zones within it SF 1 and SF2, which is dependent on the lots size of the tracts.
Mayor DonCarlos closed the public hearing at 7:17 p.m.
b. Consider an ordinance amending the Unified Land Development Code to create a
new zoning district called Country Club Limited (CCL) that would use the same content as
the SF1 zoning district but would disallow duplexes, accessory dwelling unit, and the
operation of home businesses.
A motion was made by Council Member David McCartney and seconded by Council Member
Mercedes Renteria III to approve an ordinance amending the Unified Land Development Code to
create a new zoning district called Country Club Limited (CCL) that would use the same content
as the SFl zoning district but would disallow duplexes, accessory dwelling unit, and the
operation of home businesses. The votes are as follows:
Ayes: None

C. Conduct a public hearing regarding an application to rezone the Country Club
Oaks Subdivision, consisting of approximately 633 parcels, from SF1 and SF2 to the newly
created Country Club Limited (CCL). This zoning map amendment request is in concert
with the previous zoning text amendment to create the Country Club Limited zoning
district, disallowing accessory dwelling units, home occupations, and duplexes.
Mayor DonCarlos opened the hearing at 7:19 p.m.
Two people signed up to speak on this item.
Cliff Clemens, 4502 Green Tree Drive, stated that while he appreciated what was being done as
it relates to the special use permit for accessory dwellings, he felt that the best option for them
was to have one zoning for all of Country Club Oaks that disallowed duplexes and accessory
dwellings.
Council Member Capetillo asked if the issue with the duplexes was covered in the deed
restrictions. Mr. Clemens stated that the issue with enforcing the deed restrictions was that the
volunteer association did not have the money or power to enforce them.
Mayor DonCarlos asked if the City could require that a structure be in compliance with deed
restrictions and could it be a part of the permit process. City Attorney Ignacio Ramirez
responded that the law expressly prohibits the City to enforce deed restrictions and by adding a
requirement to the permitting process to comply with deed restrictions, we would in fact be
enforcing deed restrictions.
City Manager Leiper also stated that if the deed restrictions are recorded, then any resident has
the right to enforce them. He also stated that the City would work with Country Club Oaks to
help clarify what are the deed restriction processes and help them understand what their
regulatory rights are.
Mr. Kyle Rhodes, 5111 Glen Haven Drive, asked that if under the new SF2 zoning would
Country Club Oaks have to create an HOA. City Manager Leiper responded that they would not
have to create a new HOA as they were an existing subdivision, and would therefore be
grandfathered in; new subdivision developments would have to comply with this requirement.
Mayor DonCarlos closed the hearing at 7:17 p.m.
d. Consider an ordinance rezoning the Country Club Oaks Subdivision, consisting of
approximately 633 parcels, from SF1 and SF2 to the newly created Country Club Limited
(CCL). This zoning map amendment request is in concert with the previous zoning text
amendment to create the Country Club Limited zoning district, restricting accessory
dwelling units, home occupations, and duplexes.
A motion was made by Council Member Mercedes Renteria III and seconded by Council
Member David McCartney to disapprove an ordinance rezoning the Country Club Oaks
Subdivision, consisting of approximately 633 parcels, from SF 1 and SF2 to the newly created

Motion passed and not item was not approved.
6. BUDGET FY2013 -14
a. Receive the City Manager's proposed municipal budget and budget message for
Fiscal Year 2013 -14.
City Manager Leiper stated that the City Charter provides in Article V, Section 41 that "[t]he
City Manager, at least sixty days prior to the beginning of each budget year, shall submit to the
Council a proposed budget and an explanatory budget message in the form, and with the
contents, provided by Sections 50 and 52."
The Council may accept or modify the proposed budget prior to adoption. Article V, Section 46
of the Charter requires the City Council to adopt an annual budget no later than September 27th
of each year, or the City Manager's proposed budget shall be adopted as originally submitted to
Council.
A City Council Work Session on the proposed budget has been scheduled for August 1, 2013, at
6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chamber.
City Manager Leiper stated that he would like to hit upon a couple of highlights in the budget,
which are:
The budget priorities are to (1) continue to enhance and improve public safety, (2) maintain and
where possible expand essential services, (3) attract and retain the highest quality workforce and
provide competitive employee benefit programs, (4) implement capital projects and bond
programs to ensure out infrastructure keeps pace without growth, (5) continue economic
development in all areas, and (6) ensure the long term financial integrity of the city — matching
recurring revenues to recurring expenditures and maintaining adequate working capital reserves.
The total proposed budget is $162 million, a 15% increase from last year's budget; a lot of that
increase is from hotel/motel funds, where we are starting to see our hotels fill back up; the
aquatics fund is increasing by over 50% because we are anticipating the revenues from the
expansion; the wastewater debt services fund is up almost 50% as we have refunded funds and
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
July 25, 2013
Page 11 of 25
issued more debt; the general fund, which is our largest fund is increasing en an estimated 6%
and the sewer fund is increasing by 20% because of onetime payment capital fund
improvements.
City Manager Leiper further stated that he is not recommending a tax increase; there is a 5.85%
tax increase in the water and sewer fund that is in line with the 2010 rate study; in the general
fund six new officers are being added and one property room technician, three new firefighters to
open Fire Station 7; one new combination building inspector to help with the permitting process
for the two new GCCISD schools and $1 million is being set aside to help with existing
compensation needs. He stated that when the salary negotiations with the fire and police are
completed and with the compensation study in hand, staff will present Council with a
compensation plan for their review and approval before the end of the year, so changes could
take place on January 1, 2014.
b. Consider an ordinance setting the date, time and place for a public hearing
regarding the City of Baytown FY 2013 -14 Proposed Budget.
City Manager Leiper stated that Section 43 of the City Charter requires that City Council, at the
meeting at which it receives the proposed budget from the City Manager, set the date, time and
place for a public hearing on the proposed budget.
He suggested that the public hearing regarding the City of Baytown FY 2013 -14 proposed
budget be held on Thursday, August 22, 2013, at 6:45 p.m. in the City Council Chamber of
Baytown City Hall.
A motion was made by Council Member Terry Sain, and seconded by Council Member

7. PROPOSED ORDINANCES
a. Consider an ordinance authorizing the interlocal agreement for Elevated Storage
Tank with Chambers County Improvement District No. 1.
City Manager Leiper stated that for purposes of disclosure, he is a member of the Chambers
County Improvement District No, 1, as an appointee of Chambers County. He further stated that
Ordinance No. 12,293, authorizes the interlocal agreement for Elevated Storage Tank with
Chambers County Improvement District No. I (the "District).
The District desires to construct a one million - gallon elevated storage tank ( "EST ") in Chambers
County and to share equally in the cost of construction of the EST. The tank will be constructed
on the "city- side" of the master meter serving CCID #I. Under the agreement,
1. the City will (i) endeavor to acquire the property for the EST, (ii) hire an engineering
firm to design the EST, (iii) seek competitive bids for the project once the District has
approved the plans and specifications, (iv) award a construction contract for the EST, and
(v) keep the District informed of the status of the construction.
2. the District will share the cost associated with the purchase of the property, the design of
the EST together with its construction; 50/50 split.
Under the agreement, the maximum liability of each party is $1,500,000. The District will pay
$100,000 upon the execution of the agreement and its shared costs of the construction upon
receipt of bids for the project. The District and the City will true -up all costs after the completion
and acceptance of the EST. The construction of this tower will improve water pressure and back-
up supplies in the southwest part of Baytown and will help keep us in compliance with TCEQ
storage requirements.
A motion was made by Council Member David McCartney, and seconded by Council Member
Brandon Capetillo, to approve Ordinance No. 12,293. The votes are as follows:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN,
TEXAS, AUTHORIZING AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR AN
ELEVATED STORAGE TANK WITH CHAMBERS COUNTY
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 1; AUTHORIZING PAYMENT BY THE
CITY OF BAYTOWN IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED ONE MILLION
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO 1100 DOLLARS ($1,500,000.00);
MAKING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED THERETO; AND PROVIDING
FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF.
b. Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 94 "Traffic and Vehicles," Article IV
"Specific Street Regulations," Section 94 -121 "Schedules enumerated" of the Code of
Ordinances to amend Schedule VIII "Designation - No Parking Zones" to designate a
portion of Market Street as a no parking zone.
City Manager Leiper stated that This ordinance amends Chapter 94 "Traffic and Vehicles,"
Article IV "Specific Street Regulations," Section 94 -121 "Schedules enumerated" of the Code of
Ordinances to amend Schedule VIII "Designation - No Parking Zones" to designate a portion of
Market Street as a no parking zone.
Staff received a request from Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District
( "GCCISD ") for placement of four "No Parking" signs on Market Street in front of Robert E.
Lee High School. GCCISD expressed concerns regarding vehicle safety and the safety of Robert
E. Lee High School students exiting the front of the school located at 1809 Market Street.
Vehicles are parking in both northbound lanes of traffic to drop off and pick up students. The
"No Parking Zone" will consist of 4 "No Parking Signs" covering 1000' as the signs are placed
250' apart.
City Manager Leiper stated that the City of Baytown's Engineering Department and
Development Review Committee have evaluated the placement of the "No Parking" signs and
disagrees with this solution. City Manager Leiper stated that if this ordinance is approved, it
would be the police department's responsibility to enforce these parking rules versus the school
district who is the primary responsible party in this matter; staff did not recommend approval of
this item.
Council briefly discussed this item and asked the staff to work with the high school to find
alternative solutions to their parking issues.
A motion was made by Council Member Terry Sain, and seconded by Council Mercedes
Renteria III, to disapprove an ordinance amending Chapter 94 "Traffic and Vehicles," Article IV
"Specific Street Regulations," Section 94 -121 "Schedules enumerated" of the Code of
Ordinances to amend Schedule VIII "Designation - No Parking Zones" to designate a portion of
Market Street as a no parking zone. The votes are as follows:
