PROPOSED REZONING OF APPROXIMATELY 42.06 ACRES OF LAND FROM OPEN SPACE/RECREATION (OR) TO LIGHT INDUSTRY (LI). a. Conduct a public hearing concerning a request to amend the City of Baytown official zoning map to rezone approximately 42.06 acres of a 58.7 acre tract, located on the southwest corner of Interstate Highway 10 and Sjolander Road, legally described as Tract 1K Abstract 954 A Smith, Harris County, Texas, from an Open space/recreation (OR) zoning district to a Light industrial (LI) zoning district. At 6:43 P.M., Mayor Capetillo opened and conducted a public hearing concerning a request to amend the City of Baytown official zoning map to rezone approximately 42.06 acres of a 58.7 acre tract, located on the southwest corner of Interstate Highway 10 and Sjolander Road, legally described as Tract 1 K Abstract 954 A Smith, Harris County, Texas, from an Open space/recreation (OR) zoning district to a Light industrial (LI) zoning district. Director of Planning and Community Development, Tiffany Foster presented a summary of the public hearing. She stated that the property owner requested to rezone approximately 42 acres of a 58.7 acre tract of land to light industrial (LI) zoning district, whereas, the other 16 acres was already zoned light industrial in the year 2013. She stated that the owners' intent for the property was to build a business park. She further stated that the request went before the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) at the end of year in 2019, in which the request was recommended for denial based on concerns such as increased traffic, along with the appearance the development would bring to the area of Sjolander and I-10. She stated that the developer worked on addressing such concerns and developed a new site plan that included a vegetative landscape buffer along Sjolander, detention facilities so that buildings would be approximately 400 feet away from Sjolander Road, closed the entry way on Sjolander, and building size adjustments were made. Additionally, Mrs. Foster noted that originally there were two entry points into the business park: the I- 10 feeder road and the other one on Sjolander, but with the changes there would not be traffic through to Sjolander, as it would be designated for 911 access only. Registered speakers were as follows: Janet and John Brazzil; Janice Rowland; Thomas Parent; Wendell Scott; Emanuel Valladares; Gregg Thompson; Ron David; Bob Leiper; and Reid Wilson. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 14, 2020 Page 3 of 23 Mr. Brazzil noted that his address was 6806 Sjolander Road, which is on the corner of McDaniel and Sjolander. He stated that his concerns were flooding and the increase of traffic on the current congested Sjolander Road. He noted that the typically traffic backed up pass his house daily and although water didn't get into his home during Hurricane Harvey it did reach his slab; therefore, without drainage improvements the same type situation would be worse. Ms. Janice Rowland noted that her address was 7830 McDaniel Street and further mentioned that she did not get water into her home during Hurricane Harvey, but that it was very close. Ms. Rowland inquired if the small industrial park would be a hiring center for contractors, if there were any capital projects in the area that the applicant was considering, if there were any lease or tenants already committed to this facility, and what would be stored at the facility. She stated that Baytown currently has two million square foot of empty warehouse space and did not see how this would be an economic improvement to the city. Ms. Rowland also noted that Sjolander was a low zone curved road that could not handle excess traffic and that increasing Sjolander to four lanes would only be beneficial to the warehouse. Mr. Thomas Parent noted that in the past he was a significant opponent of rezoning this area, but since then is now in favor of such. He requested if there could be improvements to the intersection at I-10 and Sjolander where there was some deterioration of the curved feeder road near the gas station. He requested to consider excluding hotels from this business park and inquired if there was a way to require a certain percentage of the frontage road be building frontage to ensure that the pictures presented come to fruition. Additionally, he recommended that the zoning classification be reviewed with regards to transitioning from one to the other. Mr. Wendell Scott noted that his address was 8111 McDaniel Street and that his house did flood during Hurricane Harvey. He stated that widening Sjolander or increasing the elevation of the land would cause more flooding and reemphasized a concern regarding increased of traffic due to this development. Mr. Emanuel Valladares noted that his address was 7320 East Freeway, which is the neighboring property adjacent to the proposed development. He noted that his parents own Valtex Construction along with the eight acres along the freeway. Mr. Valladares stated that in order to develop warehouses on the proposed property the elevation of the buildings would have to be increased substantially and inquired if there was going to be a public water and sewer system available to the area. He further stated that although there were modifications to the plan regarding Sjolander Road, there were traffic issues on I-10 that needed to be addressed. Additionally, he requested for larger culverts, for the ditches to be widened to assist with the water flow and for u-turns to be installed to minimize such congestion. Mayor Capetillo noted for clarity that the Sjolander access entry according to the original site plan was modified and planned for 911 purposes only. He further noted that the u-turn concern request was under the authority of the TxDOT, that the ditches on Sjolander would be the City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 14, 2020 Page 4 of 23 authority of Harris County, and the ditches along the frontage would be the responsibility of TxDOT and/or the City of Baytown. Mr. Gregg Thompson, President of Ratcliff Development noted that his address was 3902 Lee Street, Alexandria, Louisiana. He stated that many of the concerns mentioned were in every project whether small or large to include traffic, stormwater runoff, aesthetics, etc.; therefore, they were familiar and understood such concerns He stated that their models were designed to create an accessible attractive well maintained business park with the appropriate infrastructure for companies to locate in close proximity of their primary customers. He stated that this development included the appropriately designed retention ponds that would handle the stormwater runoff and mitigate any existing conditions with uncontrolled stormwater runoff. Additionally, he stated that their goal was to create a business park where companies could locate in a controlled environment and have protected long term value for their real estate investment. Mayor Capetillo inquired if the development considered the updated Harris County flood standard of 18% being that Sjolander Road was higher than any of the residential properties in the area and becomes a barrier for flow when the ditches were filled. Mr. Ron Dovid stated that a licensed professional engineer provided their grading, in which there was about 7.5 acres of stormwater detention space available to assure that the counties flood standard of 18% would be met and according to such professionals the ponds were shallow because of the lower elevation so the area of coverage was greater to make up for such. Mayor Capetillo stated for clarity that it was illegal in any floodplain for a development to direct water away from their property to an adjacent property and the plans would have to be approved by Harris County Flood Control. Mr. Dovid noted that Mayor Capetillo's statement of inquiry was correct with regards to the floodplain legality. Mr. Thompson further noted that normally on large tracts of land, such as the referenced item, the stormwater was not controlled and stated that they experienced redirecting stormwater runoff away from residential areas that were previously flooded due to uncontrolled stormwater runoff coming from the interstate. Mr. Thompson also stated that because he suspects the same in this case adequate detention ponds were strategically located in the design for such. During further discussion, Mr. Ron Dovid noted that he would utilize Mr. Bob Leiper and Reid Wilson's time to speak and that his address was 4306 Yoakum Blvd., Houston, Texas, 77006. Mr. Dovid provided details of some of the concerns regarding the proposed development. He stated that their model was designed to be served by heavy duty pickup trucks or boxed trucks for buildings smaller than the warehouse space mentioned by Ms. Rowland. He noted that this site could not be used for large industrial due to there being a pipeline easement directly through it. He stated that they worked with staff to develop deed restrictions and restricted covenants that after approved would be filed with the property in perpetuity, in which he deferred specific questions with such regard to the land use attorney, Mr. Reid Wilson. Mr. Dovid noted that their architectural standards went over and beyond the current city code and were included in the footprint. He further noted that they dedicated twenty feet of right-of-way along Sjolander to the City at no cost. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 14, 2020 Page 5 of 23 Council Member Presley inquired if the site was for sale or lease product. In response to Council Member Presley's inquiry, Mr. Dovid stated that the site would be a mixture of sale and lease. Council Member Betancourth inquired if the right-of-way being dedicated to City was correct being that Sjolander was owned and maintained by the County. Mr. Dovid stated that the dedication would be to the county. Council Member Alvarado inquired if there were plans to put a gate all around the 911 entrance and if it was possible to insert curbing and inlets to allow for additional drainage. Mr. Dovid stated that to his understanding the gate would block off the entire section but he would have to confirm with the engineer for certainty. He noted that the outfall comes south of the Sjolander property on the west then crosses Sjolander and being that the site was self-contained the ponds were designed to manage the rate of outflow. Council Member Alvarado further noted that in another case where there was a flooding issue the inlets were expanded. Mr. Matthew Johnson, Interim City Engineer, stated that the Sjolander roadside ditch would be maintained according to Harris County's detention requirements which were .65 acre feet per acre. He stated that the receiving entity adheres to the requirements of the governing authority in which both Harris County and TxDOT required no increase in discharge. He stated that the maximum discharge amount from the pond would be based on the property's current state. Additionally, Mr. Matthew noted the pond was not a retention pond, but a detention pond and as the engineer reviewing the plans he would not allow the number to exceed the existing conditions. Mayor Capetillo inquired for clarity if a certain capacity would have to be available in the event an entity was to widen Sjolander Road. Mr. Matthew Johnson noted that there would have to be a certain capacity in such inquired case. Additionally, Mr. Johnson stated that the developer had to accept the parcel's natural flow and provide a method to convey such flow appropriately. Council Member Hoskins inquired as to why the revised design was not submitted to P&Z for reconsideration. Mrs. Foster stated that the revised was not submitted to P&Z for reconsideration, which was the normal process. Mr. Reid Wilson, of Wilson Cribbs & Goren PC, 2500 Fannin, Houston, Texas, stated in response to Council Member Hoskins inquiry that they had a 30 page declaration that would be recorded that had private restrictive covenants applicable to the land, which could not be modified without the City's consent to assure that the inquired concern would not be a problem. Council Member Hoskins further inquired of the number of same type facilities sold. In response to Council Member Hoskins inquiry, Mr. Thompson stated that typically the facilities run in an approximate seven (7) year cycle from start to finish with the first year being infrastructure related. He stated that this would be their third project of this type of facility, but noted that they do multiple types of project. He stated that one of the facilities was sold completely in which the deed restrictions were applicable to the new owners and they were still in control over the other one. Mr. Thompson stated that they create a Land Owner's Associations which governs all of the deed restrictions, restrictive covenants, and architectural restrictions within the business park. He further noted that as long as they control more than 50% of the land in the business park, the land owner's association was not activated. He stated that if they convey a title to a City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 14, 2020 Page 6 of 23 parcel of land to a third party owner, the owner was required to be a member of the land owner's association, whereas the deed restrictions would go to the land. Mr. Thompson further stated that they put in place a long term management protocol made up of people who have a vested financial interest in properties in the business park to ensure to long term adherence to their guidelines and values. Additionally, Council Member Hoskins inquired as to what was available to the City to alleviate the possibility of a large building request from coming to fruition in this business park. Mrs. Foster stated that City staff would be included in the deed restriction discussion and the City would have to approve any modifications to the deed restrictions. She also noted that some changes that were already recommended such as the buildings height requirement which would come before Council at the next meeting. She stated that the development would be done with a product similar to that used in the grand parkway development which protects the visual of the buildings. She stated that the details were being worked, whereas, there were mechanisms within the City, such as the MUD district, the City's health department, and the developers declarations to assure that the maintenance and landscaping be maintained to quality standard. Council Member Himsel inquired as to what the final grade of the 58 acres relationship would be to Sjolander and how high would the property be related to the level of Sjolander. Mr. Matthew Johnson noted that the detention pond for the site was required to be sized to hold for a hundred years according to Harris County and that the new requirement that Harris County adopted increased the detention requirement at least 20% from what it was previously. He stated that based on the rainfall data and how the systems operate; the City was very conservative. He stated that portions of Sjolander was controlled by the City's ordinances and building code so the building elevations would be above the road but the ponds were there to hold one the hundred years. Mayor Capetillo noted that there would be conversations with the TxDQT and Harris County to assist with making sure that the drainage concern be addressed to protect the properties in that area, specifically north and east of Sjolander Road. He further noted that Harris County could not touch some of the private residential properties unless it was noted in their log book. Council Member Johnson inquired if the City could conduct a traffic study on Sjolander Road of the current traffic even though it's a county road or have access to traffic study conducted by the county. Mr. Matthew Johnson stated that he would check with the county to see if they conducted a study on Sjolander and noted that a traffic study was on his list to do. Mr. Matthew Johnson also noted that Sjolander Road was not a truck route; therefore, trucks would have to travel on I-10 to get to the proposed development otherwise they would be breaking the law. Council Member Johnson further inquired if it was possible to calculate how much traffic would increase in this area if the business park was developed. Mr. Matthew Johnson stated that a traffic impact analysis was completed and he would verify if an update could be done. He further stated that at the time the traffic study was done there wasn't a negative impact from the development before, but noted that he would review it. Mr. Bob Leiper noted that his address was 9414 Westminster Avenue, Iola, Texas and that the City of Baytown has look for a project of this caliber in this area for years. He stated that he was involved in this project since after the P&Z and his role was to assist the developers with City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 14, 2020 Page 7 of 23 making improvements which were discussed previously. Additionally, he stated that the developer exceeded the expected requirements and this was a great project. Lastly, Mrs. Foster requested that Council submit any recommendations to staff so that they could be worked out prior to the next meeting. In response to Mrs. Foster's recommendation submittal request, Mayor Capetillo requested a maximum height of the building to be that similar of a two story residential property. At 7:54 P.M., Mayor Capetillo closed the public hearing regarding agenda item 3.a. 4. PROPOSED REZONING APPROXIMATELY 4.6 ACRES OF LAND FROM OPEN SPACE/RECREATION (OR) TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL (GC) a.

She stated that this aligned with the Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) and allowed for commercial zoning along this corridor. She further noted that public services were allowed in this particular zone but wasn't required. Additionally, she stated that the amount of acreage for the rezone request covered the project but not the entire area. With there being no one registered to speak regarding agenda item 4.a., Mayor Capetillo closed the public hearing at 7:56 P.M. b.

Mrs. Foster presented a summary of the agenda item and stated that there were approximately eighteen retail products that fit the definition of small box retail. She stated that the P&Z Commission recommended not to approve the application as it was written, but they did want staff to look at restricting this type of use from the San Jacinto Overlay District, which was designed to be extremely different than what was already in Baytown.

Conduct a public hearing concerning proposed amendments to the text of the Unified Land Development Code, Baytown, Texas, to add a non-residential use for travel centers, to define such use, to establish conditions for such use, and to distinguish such use from other uses defined in the Unified Land Development Code. At 8:02 P.M., Mayor Capetillo opened and conducted a public hearing concerning proposed amendments to the text of the Unified Land Development Code, Baytown, Texas, to add a non-residential use for travel centers, to define such use, to establish conditions for such use, and to distinguish such use from other uses defined in the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC). Senior Planner Manager, Nathan Dietrich presented a summary of the public hearing to add a non-residential use for travel centers, to define such use, to establish conditions for such use, and to distinguish such use from other uses defined in the ULDC. He stated that the amendments were as follows: o Add non-residential land use and districts permitted for Travel center; o Establish conditions for Travel center; • Location restrictions within a 1,500-foot radius of specific intersections on designated truck routes; o Acreage and frontage requirements for potential sites (minimum 100 feet); o Parking restrictions for commercial vehicles; o Requirement for separation of commercial and non-commercial vehicle fueling areas; o Limit number of commercial vehicles spaces to 8 for diesel fueling; o Minimum building size requirement (8,000 sq. t. or more); and o Screening requirements when adjacent to single-family residential. • Define travel center; and • Amend definitions for gas station, gas station minimart, gas station minimart with limited food preparation, and truck stop. Council Member Alvarado inquired for clarity if overnight parking would be allowed, how would the allotted time of a vehicle be regulated or enforced, and noted that she had a concern regarding traffic. In response to Council Member Alvarado's inquiries, Mr. Dietrich stated that overnight parking would not be allowed and the travel center owner would be responsible for regulating the rules regarding parking time, whereas they could be cited. Mr. Dietrich also noted that the reason for limiting the commercial vehicle spaces to eight was to limit the amount of time the vehicle would be on site. Additionally, he stated that a traffic impact analysis would be included for this type of project. Robert Costello registered to speak regarding agenda item b.a. Mr. Costello, a representative of QuikTrip Corporation, stated that his address was 2015 South Ash Cove, Hutto, Texas. He noted that QuikTrip Corporation was a national gasoline retail company with over 800 locations across thirteen markets and was one of the City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 14, 2020 Page 11 of 23 company's that approached the City with the request. He stated that QuikTrip has been in business over 60 years and recently expanded into the central Texas area, in which their specific interest in Baytown was in the I-10 and Main location. He stated that there was no representation from them during the hearings with the P&Z as they were not the actual applicant. Mr. Costello stated that one of the concerns from P&Z was the distress on surrounding neighborhoods from the project, in which he stated that they scheduled a meeting for the area neighborhood in February and only one home owner attended with minimal concerns, along with Council Member Johnson. Mr. Costello further stated that within the convenient store/gas station business 80% of the traffic generates from pass by trips, which are vehicles already on the road but stops by; therefore, there would be minimal traffic effect. He stated that there were many costly hurdles associated with this particular property, but noted that they were willing to bring in the sewer to the 21 acres which would open the door for other developmental uses. Additionally, Mr. Costello stated that QuikTrip facility would comprise of approximately seven (7) acres of the property and their intent was to wrap the existing gas station, in which they put in a contract to acquire. He noted that the QuikTrip was not a franchise and that all of their facilities were corporately managed and owned. He also noted that they invest in the facility's remodeling and revitalization to modern standards every ten to twelve years. Council Member Johnson noted that based on the responses received during the neighborhood meeting the company was committed to making the development come into fruition. At 8:19 P.M., Mayor Capetillo closed the public hearing regarding agenda item 6.a. b. Consider an ordinance amending the Unified Land Development Code of the Code of Ordinances, Baytown, Texas, to add a non-residential use for travel centers, to define such use, to establish conditions for such use, and to distinguish such use from other uses defined in the Unified Land Development Code. Mr. Deitrich stated that the P&Z Commission denied the amendment request because the impacts of the location of adjacent neighborhoods, the amount of traffic that would generate from the travel center and the impact on the City's image on relation to the scenic gateway. Mayor Capetillo recommended that there be a discussion or presentation of the project with the updates and then revisited with P& Z, if time allowed. Mrs. Foster stated with regards to the particular subject, that the application did not change and was presented to P&Z as it was being presented to Council. She further noted that the process consisted of two different hearings in different months and with this particular request being a text amendment there was no product or picture to show for such amendment. Mayor Capetillo inquired, according to the language as presented to P&Z, if the proposed project or development fit in the current code. Mrs. Foster stated that the proposed project or develop absolutely fit in the current code. Council Member Alvarado inquired that if Council approved the text amendment would it open the opportunity for other travel centers to open throughout the City and if Council would have the opportunity to deny a future travel centers request. Mrs. Foster stated that according to the ordinance being presented during the meeting there were three (3) locations that would allow City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 14, 2020 Page 12 of 23 this type of travel center within 1,500 feet of the intersection and only where the land is zoned General Commercial (GC). Additionally, she noted that during the discussion with the P&Z, staff asked the members of the Commission if there were other intersections to be looked at, if they wanted to only look at one (1) intersection, and if they wanted to change the intersections or the perimeters of the intersection but the response from P&Z Commission was to deny. A motion was made by Council Member Charles Johnson and seconded by Council Member Robert C. Hoskins approving Ordinance No. 14,381, regarding agenda item 6.b.

Consider an ordinance awarding the Wayfmding Signage Project to Geograph Industries, Inc., for the construction and installation of wayfinding signage in Baytown. Mrs. Anna Yowell presented a summary of the Wayfinding Signage Project which is directional signs placed within the community as a marketing or awareness tool that guide community members and visitors to venues and attractions identified in the city. She stated they identified where the signs would be located throughout the City along with the sign design.

In response to Council Member Presley's inquiry, City Manager Davis stated that since he's been with the City, a tremendous amount of money has been spent on trying to maintain approximately 45 buildings, but the basis for determining if the buildings were needed had not been done, so the City was consistently reacting without a plan; therefore, he noted that this type of expertise would provide direction to plan for such building utilization.
