Development Code to require a Special Use Permit (SUP) for new construction of accessory
dwelling units in residential zoning districts where such dwelling units are permitted.
At 6:55 P.M., Mayor DonCarlos opened and conducted a public hearing regarding a proposed
amendment to the Unified Land Development Code to require a Special Use Permit (SUP) for
new construction of accessory dwelling units in residential zoning districts where such dwelling
units are permitted.
City Manager Leiper stated that this is a public hearing concerning an application to amend the
text of the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) to require a Special Use Permit (SUP) for
new construction of accessory dwelling units in residential districts where permitted. He stated
that an accessory dwelling structure is allowed in any single family zoning area and is intended
for use by the occupants of that house. He stated that the SUP process includes notification and
solicitation notices to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed location, two public
hearings at the Planning and Zoning Commission, and a public hearing before City Council in
which Council's vote is required to approve it. City Manager Leiper stated that the ULDC
currently allows accessory dwelling units to be constructed only if they meet 14 required
conditions and this would add another level of review to those conditions. He stated that two
public hearings were held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on August 20th and
September 17th and also held a work session to further discuss on October 9th. He stated that on
October 15, 2013, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered the proposed amendment
and prepared a report to the City Council recommending denial of the special use permit because
they feel like the proposed zoning text amendment is additional work to an already onerous
process and adding more steps to this already onerous process is believed that it will discourage
residents from applying for these structures and possibly constructing and occupying them
without a permit.
Mr. David Corder registered to speak before the public hearing. He stated that he lives at 4502
Alamance and that the description items listed for the special use permit should be included as
part of the requirement for the accessory dwelling units.
Mayor DonCarlos closed the public hearing at 7:02 P.M.
b. Consider an ordinance regarding a proposed amendment to the text of the Unified
Land Development Code to require a Special Use Permit (SUP) for new construction of
accessory dwelling units in residential zoning districts where such dwelling units are
permitted.

City Manager Leiper stated that staff concurs with the Planning and Zoning Commission
decision to deny the proposed zoning amendment as there is sufficient development regulations
already in place. He stated that the items that Mr. Corder described from the special use permit
are the standard for any special use permit.
A motion was made by Council Member Terry Sain and seconded by Council Member Brandon
Capetillo approving an amendment to the text of the ULDC to require a Special Use Permit for
new construction of accessory dwelling units in residential zoning districts where such dwelling
units are permitted. The by show of raising their right hands the vote was as follows:

7. AMENDMENT TO SERVICE AND ASSESSMENT PLAN FOR BAYTOWN PID
NO. ONE
a. Conduct a public hearing regarding an amendment to the Service and Assessment
Plan for the Baytown Public Improvement District Number One to add Bay Island Blvd as
part of the authorized public improvements to be constructed.
At 7:05 P.M., Mayor DonCarlos opened and conducted a public hearing regarding an
amendment to the Service and Assessment Plan for the Baytown Public Improvement District
Number One to add Bay Island Blvd as part of the authorized public improvements to be
constructed.
City Manager Leiper stated that the proposed amendment to the Service and Assessment Plan
(the "Plan") for the Baytown Public Improvement District Number One (the "PID ") adds Bay
Island Blvd as part of the authorized public improvements to be constructed. He stated that the
City Council established the PID on September 27, 2007, and thereafter on October 11, 2012,
adopted the Service and Assessment Plan for the construction of Bay Oaks Harbor Drive within
the PID. He stated that the Plan should have referenced not only Bay Oaks Harbor Drive but also
Bay Island Blvd and therefore, the City needs to amend only the Service and Assessment Plan --
not the assessment or levy -- in order to reconstruct Bay Island Blvd as originally intended. He
stated that there will be no increased costs to the property owners in Bay Oaks Harbor
Subdivision as a result of the addition of the Bay Island to the Plan.
City Manager Leiper stated that part of Bay Oaks Harbor Drive continues down pass Bay Island
Drive to Angel Fish Cove. He stated that this extra portion that continued down was reviewed as
an alternate to this project, but there weren't enough funds in the assessment to complete it. He
stated that after conversing with the contractor, staff will come back before Council to discuss
drainage work that needs to be done at the end of Bay Oaks Harbor Drive. City Manager Leiper
City Council Special Meeting Minutes
November 18, 2013
Page 12 of 34
stated that the Home Owners Association (HOA), at their expense, did drainage improvements
with anticipation of the paving work being done. Additionally, he stated that although the street
can't be done at this time, the drainage work need to be taken care of.
Mayor DonCarlos inquired about ultimate plan for the loop streets. City Manager Leiper stated
that City's agreement with the Home Owners Association (HOA) is that at the completion of this
project and the acceptance of the street, the City would take over maintenance of all the streets in
Bay Oaks Harbor. So the other loop streets and Angel Fish Cove would have to be repaired until
such time of the next street maintenance sales tax election. He stated that under state law the
maintenance street sales tax can only be used for streets that were in the city on the date of the
election. He stated that every four years when the reauthorizing of the election, the streets list is
reset and those streets are put into the street maintenance sales tax to be redone in asphalt using
street maintenance sales tax money. Council Member McCartney stated that when the funds are
received to extend the rest of Bay Oaks Harbor Drive that it should be done in concrete instead
of asphalt. City Manager Leiper stated that they will take a look at the cost difference on the
street and the reason he suggested asphalt for that street was because it was not a through street
and only the residents on that loop drive on it and he wanted to leverage the street maintenance
dollars. Mayor DonCarlos and Council Member Renteria stated that they would prefer that the
street be done in concrete. During further discussion, there was an inquiry if this was a
reimbursement from the PID. City Manager Leiper stated that this project is a reimbursement
from the PID through the assessment and once the other streets are started they will be funded
through the street maintenance sales tax.
Mr. Mitchell Pearce registered to speak before the public hearing and stated that they wanted to
be certain that the project includes the comprehensive drainage package.
Mayor DonCarlos closed the public hearing at 7:15 P.M.
b. Consider an ordinance amending the Service and Assessment Plan for Baytown
Public Improvement District Number One in order to add Bay Island Blvd as part of the
authorized public improvements to be constructed.
A motion was made by Council Member David McCartney and seconded by Council Member
