Information

ACTION REQUEST

Consider and take action on the Lakeside Bayou, LLC - First Amendment to Utility Services Agreement.

BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)

The amendment increases the number of water and sewer connections(ESFCs) reserved for Phase I of the Lakeside Bayou Subdivision from 225 to 232, but does not increase the overall number of connections (ESFCs) which remains 1200. The amendment also extends the time for the reservation of the 232 to four years from the date of master plan approval which was August 18, 2021. The extended reservation deadline will be August 18, 2024.

The Utility Services agreement between the City, GCMUD 53 and Developer provides for the design, construction and funding of water and sewer infrastructure for the Lakeside Bayou Subdivision, a 438 acre development being subdivided to a maximum of 1200 single family residential lots and with 12,8 acres reserved for commercial development.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommend approval of the First Amendment to the Utility Services Agreement with GCMUD 53 and Developer for the Lakeside Bayou Subdivision. The city's water and sewer systems have existing capacity to provide the increased number of connections required for Phase I (232 ESFCs). Other development in the area will not be delayed by extending the reservation of this capacity until August 18, 2025. Developer has been working diligently to move forward with the development and has provided evidence that it is ready to proceed with construction of infrastructure in early 2024,

Resolution to approve a letter agreement for the deposit of funds for construction of a section of 16-inch force main for the Lago Mar East Subdivision

Submitted For:

Kim Golden, Transportation and Planning

Submitted By:

Veronica Carreon, Transportation and Planning

Department:

Transportation and Planning

Information

ACTION REQUEST

Resolution to approve a letter agreement for the deposit of funds for construction of a section of 16-inch force main for the Lago Mar East Subdivision.

BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)

Lago Mar East is part of the Lago Mar Planned Unit Development originally approved by the City Commission in 2007. Lago Mar East is situated east of the Gulf Freeway and north of the extension of Holland Rd. Lago Mar East is in the process of master planning to subdivide approximately1,167 acres into 1975 single family residential units and 64.9 acres of commercial reserve. It has been determined a 16-inch force main is necessary to provide sanitary sewer services to the area. The City is currently undertaking a project to install a 24-in force main for the Lago Mar Development situated on the west side of the Gulf Freeway. A section of the 16-in force main will be located in the same easement as the 24-in force main. The City has included installation of that section of the 16-in force main in the project for the 24-inch force main with the understanding that the developer will fully fund the installation of the 16-in force main. The estimated cost of the installation of the 16-in force main is $1,255,107.88, which amount includes a 10% contingency. The Developer is prepared to deposit this amount with the City for administration and disbursement to the construction contractor upon construction of the 16-inch force main. The subject letter agreement provides for the deposit with and disbursement by the city of the subject funds.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommend approval of the letter agreement for the deposit of funds for construction of a 16-inch force main to serve Lago Mar East. Including a section of the 16-inch force main with the construction of the 24-inch force main does not significantly increase the cost of installing the 24-inch force main, but will provide some cost savings to the developer for the 16-inch force main. Including the 16-in with the construction of the 24-in will avoid disruption to the adjacent properties and residential areas. The 16-inch force main is being constructed in a public right of way. When fully constructed, the 16in force main will be donated to the City for ownership and perpetual maintenance.

A budget amendment in the amount of $1,255,107.88 will be required to account for the deposit of funds from the developer.

ACTION REQUEST

Consider and take action on the first reading of Ordinance 2024-XX, amending the Texas City Code of Ordinances Title XV entitled "Land Usage", Chapter 160 entitled "Zoning" and providing for publication and an effective date.

BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)

Battery Electrical Storage Systems (BESS) are installations of large containers of batteries which are usually located close to an electrical power substation. The batteries charge during periods of low demand and then supplement the electric grid during periods of high demand. The installations are designed to provide approximately 2-hours of power to the grid. Locations close to an existing substation are essential for most of the projects.

Texas City has two existing BESS installations at 505 34^th Ave N and 430 SH 146 N, and a third approved adjacent to the SH 146 N location. All three locations are south of Palmer Hwy and in or near areas of existing industrial uses. In 2020 and 2021 respectively, these installations were found most comparable to the District F-1 Outdoor Industrial zoning classification. Since that time numerous additional applications have been received for sites located in various other zoning districts throughout the city, including several in close proximity to existing residential uses or zoning districts. Some of the proposed projects include energy generation as a component of the projects.

During reviews of the various applications and presentations to the Planning Board and Zoning Commission, concerns were expressed regarding risk of battery fire, contamination from site runoff, contamination of air and water byproducts of fire suppression in the event of catastrophic failure, and the ultimate cost of decommissioning. The BESS installations are characterized by their developers as temporary installations. The review procedures of the District SP - Site Plan process were found to be the most thorough for evaluating the proposed projects in the various locations and zoning districts when presented. To provide for consistency and uniformity of review, the Planning Board and Zoning Commission are recommending District SP as the exclusive zoning classification for the BESS and similar projects.

The recommendation includes criteria for review of applications as well as requirements and limitations for screening, setbacks, landscaping, maximum impervious area, and other provisions etc., to assist the Planning Board members, Zoning Commissioners and staff with consistent administration and application of the zoning and land use regulations to BESS and similar projects.

RECOMMENDATION

The Planning Board recommended approval of the proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance at its regular meeting on December 18, 2023. The Zoning Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance at its meeting on January 16, 2024.

Staff recommend approval of the amendment to the zoning ordinance to make the Distrist SP Site Plan the exclusive zoning classification for BESS and similar projects.

Cost Share Agreement for the FM 517 Water Plant Expansion Project - Phase 2

Submitted For:

Kim Golden, Transportation and Planning

Submitted By:

Veronica Carreon, Transportation and Planning

Department:

Transportation and Planning

Information

ACTION REQUEST

Consider and take action on a Cost Share Agreement for the FM 517 Water Plant Expansion Project - Phase 2

BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)

The City Commission approved the master plan and gave preliminary zoning approval to the District I - Planned Unit Development (PUD) rezoning for Lakeside Bayou Subdivision, f/k/a Southlake Subdivision, at its regular meeting on August 18, 2021 upon recommendations for approval from the Planning Board and Zoning Commission upon proper notice and public hearings. The City Commission granted two extensions of time to the preliminary zoning approval at its regular meetings on August 3, 2022 and August 2, 2024. The City Commission also approved the name change to Lakeside Bayou Subdivision at its meeting on August 3, 2022.

The Lakeside Bayou Subdivision proposes to subdivide and develop approximately 438 acres into 1200 single family residential units and 12.8 acres of commercial reserve. The development is located south of FM 646, north of FM 517 and west of FM 3436. The single family residential units will be developed with a lot mix of 10% - 45ft lots, 40% - 50ft lots, 40% - 60ft lots and 10% - 70ft lots. Phase I consisting of 232 lots in Sections 1, 3 and 4 has received all preliminary and final plat approvals from the Planning Board. Construction plans for the water, sewer, paving and drainage and detention infrastructure have been approved. The developer has issued the construction plans for bids and is prepared to start construction in early 2024.

Texas City has sufficient capacity in existing water and sewer infrastructure to support the development of the 232 lots in Phase I. However, water system improvements are required at the existing water plant on FM 517 to provide the capacity required to develop Phases 2 and following. The water system improvements required include the addition of a water well as a backup water source, a 20,000 gal hydropneumatic tank, a 350,000 gal ground storage water tank, and the addition of two 500 gpm pumps to the existing booster station, together with related piping and chemical injection systems. It is in the long term, best interest of the City's water system for the water well and the ground storage water tank to be constructed to the capacity required for the full buildout of the service area. Such capacity is greater than the buildout required for only the Lakeside Bayou Subdivision. Also, it is beneficial to the City to select and oversee the design engineer because improvements will be made to an existing operational facility which is active and in service.

The water system improvement project is included in the 2022 Update to the City's Capital Improvement Plan and is eligible for funding from impact fees.

The agreement caps the City's cost share for construction at $1,500,000. In December 2022 the estimated construction cost was $4,150,240 which included a 5% contingency. The agreement also provides for the City to select and contract for the engineering design services with 60/40 cost share with the Developer or MUD. The December 2022 estimated design fees were $613,294 with the City's 60% share being $367,976.40. The source of funds will be Zone 2 impact fee revenue for water. A budget amendment will be required in the amount of $1,867,976.40 for the Project.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommend approval of the cost share agreement for the following reasons: (1) the water improvements subject to the cost share agreement and required for the buildout of the Lakeside Bayou Subdivision are included in the City's Capital Improvement Plan as updated in 2022 and eligible for payment from impact fees; and (2) the City owns and operates the existing water plant on FM 517 which will be expanded with the subject improvements; and (3) the City will select and oversee the design engineer for the subject improvements; and (4) the improvements will include a 700 gpm water well and a 350,000 gal ground storage water tank which exceed the capacity required for the Lakeshore Bayou Subdivision but are necessary to provide the estimated capacity required for the full build out of the water plant service area; and (5) the City's cost share commitment will be capped at $1,500,000.00 for construction cost.
