The motion carried by the following vote: For: 6 - Mayor Pro Tem Prewitt, Council Member Gonzales, Council Member Derrick, Mayor Hughson, Council Member Mihalkanin and Council Member Rockeymoore Against: 1 - Council Member Marquez 13. Consider approval of Resolution 2019-49R, approving a Chapter 380 Economic Development Incentive and ETJ Development Agreement with Curby D. Ohnheiser, Diane M. Deringer, Carolyn J. Scurlock, Van Lee, LLC, Ohnheiser Properties and Texas Transportation Alliance, Ltd, a Texas Limited Partnership, that provides economic development incentives for the location of an Industrial Rail Park (commonly referred to as the SMART Terminal Project) located along Highway 80, waives certain development standards, prohibits certain land uses, and provides additional standards for water quality and flood prevention; authorizing the City Manager to execute said agreement on behalf of the city; and declaring an effective date. Assistant City Manager Steve Parker, provided a presentation outlining the timeframe of the project, location of the project, the timeline of the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), and developments near this property. Mr. Parker discussed Watersheds and Tributaries and the discharge to the San Marcos River. He stated that runoff would actually be reduced by 10% with the proposed development. Mr. Parker explained there will be a future flood control channel and detention pond which will carry overflow from Blanco river and alleviate any negative impacts to Blanco River Village. Laurie Moyer, Director of Engineering, explained the results of the 2-D modeling that was completed to show the effects of flooding on the existing property. Ms. Moyer stated the drainage coming from the airport is fairly well contained (Tributary 1). Tributary 2, the larger of the two, overflows across 1984. This is validated by some of the emails received from citizens expressing their concern of flooding in this area. Our ordinance allows no increase in runoff, in the development agreement proposed, the developer has agreed to decrease runoff by 10% in this area. Mr. Parker continued the presentation and discussed the regulation comparison chart. This was created by Staff to show the differences between this development being built in the ETJ vs. the proposed 380 Agreement. Mr. Parker provided an overview of the 380 Agreement, the zoning map, and the prohibited uses on this property. Council Member Rockeymoore asked Ms. Moyer to speak to the level of flooding that occurred in 2015 near this property. Ms. Moyer discussed the 2-D modeling exhibit discussed earlier and stated this model illustrates a 100 -year City of San Marcos Page 11
