Agenda Item # 1c
Item/Subject: Consider Authorizing the City Manager to enter into the annual purchase of PCs due for
replacement as per the FY 21/22 computer replacement schedule.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Information Technology/Bill Wavra
Presenter: Bill Wavra, IT Director
Recommended Motion: Authorize the City Manager to enter into the annual purchase of PCs due for
replacement as per the FY 21/22 computer replacement schedule in the amount of $54,379.17
Strategic Initiative: Goal #4 - Infrastructure - Ensure the quality of the City utilities, transportation and
physical structures so that the City’s core services can be provided in an effective and efficient
manner.
Regular replacement of PCs is essential to keeping operations running efficiently. Several years ago, The
Texas Department of Information Resources established industry best practices for PC and server
replacement lifecycle. The recommended replacement schedule for PCs is 3 to 5 years, depending on
usage and environment. As PCs age, hardware performance declines, the likelihood of failure increases
and may ultimately lead to service interruption.
51 PCs have reached the retirement phase, end of support, and warranty by the manufacturer.
Replacement of this hardware will ensure reliability, vendor support and increase staff efficiency by
minimizing repair frequency.
If approved, these PCs will be purchased using the State of Texas Department of Information Resources
(DIR) contract, a cooperative purchasing program for state and local government, education, and other
public entities in Texas.
Previous Council Action: The City Council authorized the following:
• Dell Computers – PC Replacement Schedule on 10/1/2013
Financial Implications: ☒ Item is budgeted: 309-655-52200 In the amount of $54,379.17

Agenda Item # 1d Page 1
Item/Subject: Consider adopting Resolution 2021-20 authorizing the use of U.S. Fixed Income
Trust/Texas FIT for investing City monies.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Finance
Presenter: Steve Ritter – Finance Director
Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Resolution 2021-20 authorizing the use of U.S. Fixed Income
Trust and its “Texas FIT” Texas public funds investment pools for investing City monies.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #6 - Finance - Provide a sustainable, efficient and fiscally sound government
through conservative fiscal practices and resource management.
Discussion: The City uses local government investment pools such as U.S. Fixed Income Trust/Texas FIT
to invest City monies. Two other such “pools” the City is currently using are TexPOOL and Texas CLASS.
U.S. Fixed Income Trust/Texas FIT, if approved, will provide a third option of pools and is currently
earning slightly more than the other 2 pools. U.S. Fixed Income Trust/Texas FIT has a “AAAm” rating
from Fitch which essentially equates to the “AAAf” ratings that TexPOOL and Texas CLASS have with
Standard & Poors. Use of U.S. Fixed Income Trust/Texas FIT as a option for investing City funds was
discussed with the Finance Committee at their October 19, 2021 meeting.
Previous Council Action:
Financial Implications:
The city should be able to earn some additional interest income by using U.S. Fixed Income Trust/Texas
FIT.

WHEREAS, the U.S. Fixed Income Trust ("US FIT") and its Texas public funds investment

Presenter: Steve Ritter – Finance Director
Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Resolution No. 2021-21 authorizing the City Manager, Finance
Director, City Staff and the City’s Financial Advisor and Bond Counsel to proceed with all necessary
processes and documents in connection with the sale of Waterworks and Sewer System Revenue
Bonds.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #6 - Finance - Provide a sustainable, efficient and fiscally sound government
through conservative fiscal practices and resource management.
Discussion: In the Fiscal Year 21-22 Budget the planned use of approximately $1,000,000 for new debt
service on Water/Wastewater projects was budgeted for. The City has been budgeting and paying for
around $4,000,000 of “pay as you go” Water and Wastewater CIP projects. Using approximately
$1,000,000 of “pay as you go” funds for debt service on approximately $21,000,000 of Revenue Bonds
makes possible getting $21,000,000 of badly needed wastewater projects completed in the next 2 – 3
years.
Previous Council Action: None related to this Resolution.
Financial Implications:
Annual “pay as you go” funding of Utility Fund projects is reduced from about $4,000,000 annually to
$3,000,000 annually. The City’s Financial Advisors for issuing debt has projected the City will pay
approximately $10,400,000 in interest over the next 30 years based on current market conditions and
final bond principal maturing in 30 years.

Agenda Item # 1f
Item/Subject: Consider authorizing the City Manager to approve a contract renewal with
ISU/Companion Life for stop loss insurance coverage.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Human Resources
Presenter: Julie O’Connell, Human Resources Director
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the City Manager to approve a contract renewal with
ISU/Companion Life for stop loss insurance coverage in the amount of $299,951.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #6 - Finance - Provide a sustainable, efficient and fiscally sound government
through conservative fiscal practices and resource management.
Discussion: The City currently has a self-insured medical plan. This means that the City assumes the
financial risk for providing health care benefits to our employees (as opposed to an insurance carrier
with a fully-insured plan). The City contributes $850 per employee per month into our employee
benefits fund to pay for claims and to cover administrative expenses which are paid to a third-party
administrator (TML) to process these claims and ensure that the plan is administered according to the
City’s policies. Due to the City carrying this risk, it is necessary for the City to carry a stop loss policy
(sometimes called a reinsurance policy). These policies protect the City from catastrophic losses due
to large claims (over $150,000). The City’s current contract with ISU/Companion Life expires December
31, 2021.
The City’s benefits consultant, SA Benefit Services, marketed to 11 different stop loss carriers; attached
is a listing of the responses from these carriers. All of the carriers (except for Liberty and our current
carrier) declined to quote, mainly due to our 2021 stop loss reimbursements due to large claims. This
will be our fifth year contracting with ISU/Companion Life for this coverage. Below is a comparison of
the current and proposed rates:
Current 2021 ISU/Companion Life Annual Premium: $280,300
Proposed 2022 ISU/Companion Life Annual Premium: $299,951
Total Annual Premium Increase: $19,651 (7.01%)
To date for 2021, the City has received stop loss reimbursements in the amount of $142,575. We do
not anticipate receiving any additional reimbursements in 2021.
Previous Council Action: The City Council approved the current contract with ISU/Companion Life in
November 2020 for stop loss coverage for the 2021 Plan Year.
Financial Implications: ☒Item is budgeted: 302-1302-7898 In the amount of: $488,065

Agenda Item # 2a
Item/Subject: Consider adoption of Ordinance 2021-35 to change the Development District
Classification for 1021 Oak Drive and 2650 11th Street located in the G.A. White Subdivision from
Neighborhood Conservation to Management: second reading.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Development Services
Presenter: Armon Irones, City Planner
Recommended Motion: Approve Ordinance 2021-35, to change the Development District
Classification for 1021 Oak Drive and 2650 11th Street, located in the G.A. White Subdivision from
Neighborhood Conservation to Management, as recommended by the Planning Commission.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #3 - Economic Development - Promote and enhance a strong and diverse
economy.
Discussion: DunnCo Properties, Ltd. Enterprises, LLC, the owners of 1021 Oak Drive and 2650 11th
Street within the G.A. White Subdivision submitted an application to amend the Development District
Map to change the current Development District Classification from Neighborhood Conservation to
Management. These properties are bounded by 2640 11th Street to the east, 11th Street to the south,
Oak Drive to the west, and 1015 Oak Drive to the north.
A public hearing and consideration for the two properties were on the September 16, 2021, Planning
Commission meeting agenda. During the public hearing one person spoke in support of the
Development District application request, one person came and spoke because they wanted
information regarding the Development District change, and three citizens spoke in opposition to the
request. The Commission voted 4 to 2 in favor of recommending approval of the Development Map
Amendment to change the subject property from Neighborhood Conservation to Management.
Minutes from the Planning Commission meeting are attached to this agenda item along with the other
documents submitted to the Planning Commission in their meeting packet for the cases.
On November 10, 2021, staff received a petition in opposition of the proposed Development District
zone changes from 35% of the property owners that are within 200 feet of the subject properties. The
Development Code requires that a minimum of 20% of property owners within 200 feet must file a
petition in opposition 72 hours prior to action by City Council. The property owners and the 200 foot
distance requirement from the subject property were verified and this is a valid protest petition which
will require a favorable vote of at least 75% of the City Council members who are qualified to vote on
the matter.
Previous Council Action: In February 2017, the Council held a public hearing and first reading on a
request to reclassify only Block 3 of the G. A. Subdivision from Neighborhood Conservation to
Management. This case was initiated by an application from all the owners of property within the Block.
The submitted petition in opposition to the proposed change was determined to not be valid. The City
Council approved the ordinance to amend the Development District Map for Block 3 by a vote of 6–2.

PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA ITEM DISCUSSION FORM
Prepared by: Charles Young, Planner Armon Irones, City Planner
SUBJECT: Development District Map Amendment
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2021
TYPE OF REVIEW: Development District Reclassification
APPLICANT: Patrick N. Dunn
FACTS, CODE REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS
Staff has received an application from Patrick Dunn on behalf of the property owners of 1021 Oak Drive, DunnCo Properties, Ltd., requesting reclassification
of the Development District for the property from Neighborhood Conservation
(NC) to Management (M). The subject property is comprised of 0.177 acre, located at the northeast corner of Oak Drive and 11th Street.
The Subject property consists of Lot 9A and was a part of the Replat of Lots 1, 8,
and 9, Block 1 in the G.A. White Subdivision in 2014. The Development District
classifications for all properties within the City Limits were reviewed as an item
on the Planning Commission’s 2016 work schedule and there was a
reclassification done in that area from Neighborhood Conservation to Management District a few years ago. The recorded replat for G.A. White
Subdivision is attached.
The subject property has approximately 54 feet of frontage but no driveway
access on 11th Street which is classified as a Primary Arterial Street per the current Huntsville Transportation Plan.
There is a two (2) inch diameter water line along the property at Oak Drive and a
six (6) inch diameter sanitary sewer main located on the west side of Oak Drive
and it also runs along 11th Street (in the right-of-way of 11th Street).
The Development District classification for adjacent property is as follows: • Management (M) to the South across 11th Street.
• Neighborhood Conservation (NC) to the North.
• Neighborhood Conservation (NC) to the East.
• Neighborhood Conservation (NC) to the West.
There are three (3) main Development Districts in the City of Huntsville. The two
districts applicable to this case are defined in Section 2.300 of the Development
Code as follows:
2.301 Neighborhood Conservation District – The Neighborhood Conservation
(NC) district is intended to help protect property values by conserving the overall
character and function of single-family (detached house) residential areas of the
Page 2 of 4
City. It is intended for application in stable single-family (detached house)
neighborhoods.
2.303 Management District – The Management (M) district is the most widely
applied development district classification. All land not specifically classified in
another development district is included in the M district. The M district allows all
land uses, subject to compliance with all other applicable regulations of this Development Code.
The Applicant has informed staff they plan to the subject property and the adjacent
property to the east as a small retail center. If the subject area becomes reclassified as Management, any land use will be allowed for the property provided that all applicable
regulations pertaining to the Management District are met.
According to Section 12.308 Review and Approval Criteria the following three factors
are to be considered when making recommendations and decisions about Development
District map amendments.
12.308.A Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use
Maps.
In the Huntsville Comprehensive Plan 2040 that was recently adopted by City Council there are three (3) goals listed under Land Use and Development Goals.
Goal LUD 1: A land use allocation and pattern that supports Huntsville’s key focuses of
increasing quality housing supply, economic development opportunities, and quality of
life, while maintaining its “small town” and semi-rural feel.
Goal LUD 2: Revitalized high-profile corridors and continued focus on downtown,
providing increased retail and entertainment options within the city.
Goal LUD 3: Focused growth within the city, promoting fiscal sustainability
The 11th Street corridor has become a high traffic area lined with retail and commercial uses. The lots along the west portion of Pear Drive and the east portion of Hickory Drive
until you get to the intersection of Cedar Drive are all Management District. The further
north the lots are away from 11th Street is where the concentration of Neighborhood Conservation lots are located.
The Huntsville Comprehensive Plan 2040 Huntsville which included a future land use
map, identifies these lots as residential uses in the future even though commercial uses
are all along 11th Street.
12.308.B Compatibility with existing development district classifications, uses of nearby property and the character of the surrounding neighborhood.
The neighborhood and surrounding area has developed in accordance to the original
established development districts. Most of the single-family residences in this
subdivision are occupied, however, the lots along 11th Street mainly front on a primary arterial with some having direct access to neighborhood streets. This is not a desired
Page 3 of 4
characteristic for a single-family residential neighborhood. A commercial use is more compatible for the properties which front on 11th Street. Also relevant to this case, the
properties located along the south of 11th Street from the subject area are designated as
Management District. These are currently developed with retail/commercial uses.
With the wide range of uses permitted in the Management (M) District, there are many potential, and potentially inappropriate, uses that may transpire on the subject property
if it is reclassified, therefore it is difficult to determine the effect there may be on the
neighboring properties.
12.308.C Availability of water, wastewater, storm water, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for use allowed under the proposed
development district.
There is adequate water, wastewater and storm water infrastructure to accommodate
the proposed change in the development district classification of the subject property. The subject property has frontage on and potential access from a primary arterial street.
Since Development District Map Amendments are infrequently considered by the
Commission, a couple of pertinent factors must be addressed. First, development
district reclassification cannot be granted with conditions. Since there are limited development districts within Huntsville, the property can either be classified as
Neighborhood Conservation or Management with all requirements of the Development
Code for the given district governing how the property is developed. Second, the section
below outlines a procedural aspect that may be applicable to this case:
Section 12.307.A of the Development Code states:
If a valid protest petition is filed against any proposed development district map
amendment, passage of the amendment requires a favorable vote of at least
75% of the City Council members who are qualified to vote on the matter. Adequate notice was sent to the media and surrounding property owners as required by
the Development Code and State law. After a public hearing, it is the duty of the Commission to review this proposal and submit a recommendation to the City Council
on this matter.
As of the date of this report, staff has received a call supporting this request and none in
opposition.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
There have been several changes to the neighborhood character in the
surrounding area of the subject property since the initial designation of the property as NC. The 0.138-acre property adjacent to the east of the subject
property is also requesting a Development District Map Amendment. Since the subject property has frontage on 11th Street, land use/urban planning principles
would establish that the highest and best use for the property would not be single-family residential.
The Development Code requires buffering between commercial and single-family
residential land uses. The change in the Development District classification from Neighborhood Conservation to Management would allow for any type of
development to take place on the subject property, however, the Development
Code requires additional buffering between different intensity land uses and
Page 4 of 4
conditional use permits for certain commercial uses when within 200’ of
Neighborhood Conservation. For this reason and because single-family residential is not the highest and best use of the property due to being located at
the intersection of a primary arterial and neighborhood street, staff recommends approval of this request.

PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA ITEM DISCUSSION FORM
Prepared by: Charles Young, Planner Armon Irones, City Planner
SUBJECT: Development District Map Amendment
MEETING DATE: September 16, 2021
TYPE OF REVIEW: Development District Reclassification
APPLICANT: Patrick N. Dunn
FACTS, CODE REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS
Staff has received an application from Patrick Dunn on behalf of the property owners of 2650 11th Street, DunnCo Properties, Ltd., requesting reclassification
of the Development District for the property from Neighborhood Conservation
(NC) to Management (M). The subject property is comprised of 0.138 acre, located approximately 55 feet east of the northeast corner of Oak Drive and 11th
Street.
The Subject property consists of Lot 8A and was a part of the Replat of Lots 1, 8,
and 9, Block 1 in the G.A. White Subdivision in 2014. The Development District
classifications for all properties within the City Limits were reviewed as an item
on the Planning Commission’s 2016 work schedule and there was a reclassification done in that area from Neighborhood Conservation to
Management District a few years ago. The recorded replat for G.A. White
Subdivision is attached.
The subject property has approximately 91 feet of frontage along 11th Street which is classified as a Primary Arterial Street per the current Huntsville
Transportation Plan.
There is a two (2) inch diameter water line along the east side of Oak Drive and a
six (6) inch diameter sanitary sewer main located on the west side of Oak Drive and it also runs along 11th Street (in the right-of-way of 11th Street).
The Development District classification for adjacent property is as follows:
• Management (M) to the South across 11th Street.
• Neighborhood Conservation (NC) to the North.
• Neighborhood Conservation (NC) to the East.
• Neighborhood Conservation (NC) to the West.
There are three (3) main Development Districts in the City of Huntsville. The two
districts applicable to this case are defined in Section 2.300 of the Development
Code as follows:
2.301 Neighborhood Conservation District – The Neighborhood Conservation
(NC) district is intended to help protect property values by conserving the overall
Page 2 of 4
character and function of single-family (detached house) residential areas of the
City. It is intended for application in stable single-family (detached house) neighborhoods.
2.303 Management District – The Management (M) district is the most widely
applied development district classification. All land not specifically classified in
another development district is included in the M district. The M district allows all land uses, subject to compliance with all other applicable regulations of this
Development Code.
The Applicant has informed staff they plan to the subject property and the adjacent property to the east as a small retail center. If the subject area becomes reclassified as
Management, any land use will be allowed for the property provided that all applicable regulations pertaining to the Management District are met.
According to Section 12.308 Review and Approval Criteria the following three factors
are to be considered when making recommendations and decisions about Development District map amendments.
12.308.A Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use
Maps.
In the Huntsville Comprehensive Plan 2040 that was recently adopted by City Council
there are three (3) goals listed under Land Use and Development Goals.
Goal LUD 1: A land use allocation and pattern that supports Huntsville’s key focuses of
increasing quality housing supply, economic development opportunities, and quality of life, while maintaining its “small town” and semi-rural feel.
Goal LUD 2: Revitalized high-profile corridors and continued focus on downtown,
providing increased retail and entertainment options within the city.
Goal LUD 3: Focused growth within the city, promoting fiscal sustainability
The 11th Street corridor has become a high traffic area lined with retail and commercial
uses. The lots along the west portion of Pear Drive and the east portion of Hickory Drive
until you get to the intersection of Cedar Drive are all Management District. The further north the lots are away from 11th Street is where the concentration of Neighborhood
Conservation lots are located.
The Huntsville Comprehensive Plan 2040 Huntsville which included a future land use
map, identifies these lots as residential uses in the future even though commercial uses
are located along 11th Street.
12.308.B Compatibility with existing development district classifications, uses of
nearby property and the character of the surrounding neighborhood.
The neighborhood and surrounding area has developed in accordance to the original
established development districts. Most of the single-family residences in this subdivision are occupied, however, the lots along 11th Street mainly front on a primary
Page 3 of 4
arterial with some having direct access to neighborhood streets. This is not a desired characteristic for a single-family residential neighborhood. A commercial use is more
compatible for the properties which front on 11th Street. Also relevant to this case, the
properties located along the south of 11th Street from the subject area are designated as
Management District. These are currently developed with retail/commercial uses.
With the wide range of uses permitted in the Management (M) District, there are many
potential, and potentially inappropriate, uses that may transpire on the subject property
if it is reclassified, therefore it is difficult to determine the effect there may be on the
neighboring properties.
12.308.C Availability of water, wastewater, storm water, and transportation
facilities generally suitable and adequate for use allowed under the proposed
development district.
There is adequate water, wastewater and storm water infrastructure to accommodate the proposed change in the development district classification of the subject property.
The subject property has frontage on and potential access from a primary arterial street.
Since Development District Map Amendments are infrequently considered by the
Commission, a couple of pertinent factors must be addressed. First, development district reclassification cannot be granted with conditions. Since there are limited
development districts within Huntsville, the property can either be classified as
Neighborhood Conservation or Management with all requirements of the Development
Code for the given district governing how the property is developed. Second, the section
below outlines a procedural aspect that may be applicable to this case:
Section 12.307.A of the Development Code states:
If a valid protest petition is filed against any proposed development district map
amendment, passage of the amendment requires a favorable vote of at least 75% of the City Council members who are qualified to vote on the matter.
Adequate notice was sent to the media and surrounding property owners as required by the Development Code and State law. After a public hearing, it is the duty of the
Commission to review this proposal and submit a recommendation to the City Council
on this matter.
As of the date of this report, staff has received a call supporting this request and none in opposition.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
There have been several changes to the neighborhood character in the surrounding area of the subject property since the initial designation of the
property as NC. The 0.177-acre property adjacent to the west of the subject property is also requesting a Development District Map Amendment. Since the
subject property has frontage on 11th Street, land use/urban planning principles would establish that the highest and best use for the property would not be
single-family residential.
The Development Code requires buffering between commercial and single-family
residential land uses. The change in the Development District classification from
Neighborhood Conservation to Management would allow for any type of
development to take place on the subject property, however, the Development
Page 4 of 4
Code requires additional buffering between different intensity land uses and
conditional use permits for certain commercial uses when within 200’ of Neighborhood Conservation. For this reason and because single-family
residential is not the highest and best use of the property due to being located at the intersection of a primary arterial and neighborhood street, staff recommends
approval of this request.

Agenda Item # 2b
Item/Subject: Consider approving the Conditional Use Permit Application for a Recreational Vehicle
Park Facility to be developed on property located in the 3200 block of SH 30 West.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Development Services
Presenter: Armon Irones, City Planner
Recommended Motion: Move to deny Conditional Use Permit Application # 03-2021, for a
Recreational Vehicle Park to be developed on property located in the 3200 block of SH 30 West on
approximately 35 acres tract of land, WCAD GEO ID 0013-125-0-00410, as recommended by the
Planning Commission.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #3 - Economic Development - Promote and enhance a strong and diverse
economy.
Discussion: On October 21, 2021, following a public hearing, the Planning Commission voted 4-1 to
recommend denial of Conditional Use Permit 03-2021. The Planning Commission was concerned about
the location of the proposed RV Park being so close to IH-45 and being in the City Limits. They would
prefer it to be located in the ETJ or further out in Walker County where there is more rural, shaded, and
undeveloped land. There was also concern because staff informed the Planning Commission the city’s
sewer service is at capacity. For that location permits could not be issued until the lift station is
expanded or a new one built to handle the capacity, which would take a total of two years, one
year for design and another year for approval.
During the public hearing portion of the Planning Commission meeting, six people spoke in
opposition of the Recreational Vehicle Park. Planning staff also received a phone call in
opposition to the development.

Re: Conditional Use Permit – CSRP, Inc – WCAD Property ID #11376
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thank you for your time and consideration when reviewing the Conditional Use Permit referenced above. Our
intentions for this parcel is to improve the site as a Class A, Luxury RV resort development with a handful of Park
Models (aka Tiny Homes) on Highway 30 West. We first began discussions with Amstad Development earlier this
year and we have been busy working on this since that time. We enjoyed the pre-development meeting with the
City of Huntsville Planning Department and were provided great feedback to our site plan, proposed use and have
modified it per their recommendations. CSRP, Inc. is very excited for the opportunity to bring this development
to Huntsville and to be a part of the community. We have assembled a very professional and knowledgeable team
with a wealth of experience to bring this development together. CityStreet Residential (CSRP) is a small but highly
experienced, highly regarded real estate firm focused on superior product execution. Our core values are
personified by one simple phrase: “Exceed expectations”. Although we have primarily been developers of luxury
apartment communities, we began developing RV parks a few years ago. We are very selective in the sites that
we pursue. Last summer, we completed our largest RV park to date, which serves as the model for our proposed
development in Huntsville with others under construction in Waller and near The Medical Center in Houston.
We have hired Osborn & Vane Architects for architectural and site planning services. Osborne & Vane has
significant experience planning and designing institutional quality, Class A RV parks, and has been the architect
for the majority of these parks in Houston over the past 17 years. We have a great working relationship with
Osborne & Vane.
Unlike many “mom & pop” RV parks that manage the parks themselves, CityStreet uses an affiliate, Jetstream
Communities, to manage their RV developments. Jetstream Communities was formed in 2020 and is anchored by
Tom Campbell. Tom was hired from Newby Management where he was serving as regional manager of Texas.
Jetstream Communities will manage all CityStreet related properties and seek out selective third-party
management opportunities. In addition to property management, Jetstream Comminutes will also provide
development/construction consulting services by leveraging strategic relationships with CityStreet and Domain
Builders. The company is a licensed vendor of several recreational vehicle brands and will sell selective recreation
vehicles. With a strong executive foundation, Jetstream Communities is well positioned to be a leader in the very
fragmented RV management space.
Another critical member of our team is Terra Associates, a highly experienced civil engineering firm. We will have
several other consultants involved in the design and throughout the development and construction
process. Terra Associates has experience working with the City of Huntsville, specifically related to the HEB
development, and we are glad to have them on board.
We have completed the preliminary civil engineering and site planning and are ready to begin work on
architectural and engineering construction plans. We understand the intent of the code, specifically related to
Conditional Use Permits for RV Resorts is used to require a certain level of quality within the city and our proposed
development will do just that.
Since “a picture is worth a thousand words,” we have also included a PowerPoint slideshow of photos of our
Houston RV resort, which is what we’re modeling this development after. You may also see photos of it at www.JetstreamRVResortatNASA.com and www.JetstreamRVResortatWaller.com . I also welcome you to tour it
if you’d like. Obviously, we’re living in usual times with COVID-19, but I am happy to personally tour you through
the resort if you would like to do so.

PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA ITEM DISCUSSION FORM
Prepared by: Armon Irones, City Planner Charles Young, Planner
MEETING DATE: October 21, 2021
SUBJECT: Proposed Development of a Recreational Vehicle Park
TYPE OF REVIEW: Conditional Use Permit
APPLICANT: Kathryn Harris
LOCATION: 3200 Block of SH 30 W (GEO ID 0013-125-0-00410)
FACTS, CODE REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS
With the adoption of the updated Development Code, effective date of August 31,
2015, additional measures were placed in the code to protect the character and
growth of the City from potential nuisance land uses at the request of the
Planning Commission and City Council. The Development Code states that
certain nuisance uses may be made appropriate through the additional scrutiny of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The Development Code was updated in
February 18, 2020 to identify Recreational Vehicle (RV) Parks as a potential nuisance use if they are developed in any district in the city of Huntsville. In
addition to the site improvement requirements of the City Development Code, RV
Parks are subject to the Supplemental Use Regulations of Development Code § 4.205, attached to this report.
The applicant, Kathryn Harris on behalf of City Street Residential Partners, is
proposing to develop a Recreational Vehicle (RV) Park on property located on
the north side of the 3200 Block of SH 30 W. The subject property is
approximately 35 acres in size and is in the Management (M) District.
The subject property, currently undeveloped, includes approximately 1,415 linear
feet of frontage along SH 30 W. The properties to the north, south, east, and
west of the proposed development are in the Management Development District.
The applicant is awaiting TXDOT permit approval for the driveway access. There is existing water and sanitary sewer service available for the proposed
development. A preliminary site development plan must be submitted in the
developer’s presentation package indicating that mitigation of increased post-
development storm water run-off we be addressed. The City Engineer will review
and approve the drainage and civil plans prior to construction.
In the Huntsville Comprehensive Plan 2040 that was recently adopted by City Council there are three (3) goals listed under Land Use and Development Goals.
Goal LUD 1: A land use allocation and pattern that supports Huntsville’s key focuses of increasing quality housing supply, economic development
opportunities, and quality of life, while maintaining its “small town” and semi-rural feel.
2
Goal LUD 2: Revitalized high-profile corridors and continued focus on downtown, providing increased retail and entertainment options within the city.
Goal LUD 3: Focused growth within the city, promoting fiscal sustainability
This section of the State Highway 30 W corridor is a low to medium traffic area lined with retail, commercial, and multi-family land uses. This section also has
wider lanes to help with traffic flow and it located close to the western edge of the
city limits. The surrounding areas are all Management District and approximately
0.75 miles further west along State Highway 30 is where Westridge Subdivision
is located and it is a Neighborhood Conservation Development District.
To date, the City has not received any calls or emails from property owners that
are within 300’ of the proposed development, in support or opposition to the
project.
The attached Letter of Conditional Approval provides draft conditions that
would serve to mitigate possible nuisance effects of the development on
surrounding properties. These conditions are intended to address noise, intrusive
lighting, maintenance, visual clutter, and parking concerns, etc.
CUP Process
The requirements for the review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit are defined in Article 10: Development Review and Approval Procedures, Section
12.800 Conditional Uses, Development Code, effective date of August 31, 2015.
Simply stated the procedure for a Conditional Use Permit is as follows: Planning staff review application and prepare report and staff
recommendation for the Planning Commission prior to the public
hearing on the conditional use permit application.
Planning Commission must hold a public hearing on the proposed conditional use. Commission must then act, by simple majority vote,
to recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the
request and convey its recommendation to City Council.
Final action on the conditional use permit is by City Council after
receiving the Planning Commission recommendation on the matter.
City Council must hold a public hearing and then act to approve, approve the proposed amendment with conditions, or deny the
proposed conditional use. City Council may also remand the
proposed conditional use application to the Planning Commission for
further consideration. The conditional use permit application may be
approved by simple majority.
There are additional provisions for lapses in, transferability of, and amendments to approved Conditional Use Permits in the code. Please refer to Section 12.800
of the Development Code for additional details.
3
In reviewing an application for a CUP, Section 12.808 of the Development Code states the following:
No conditional use may be recommended for approval or approved unless
the respective review or decision-making body determines that evidence
has been submitted to support each of the following conclusions:
•That the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
•That adequate utilities, roads, drainage and other necessary
infrastructure facilities and public services are or will be available to serve proposed use; and
•That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or
general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or be
injurious to property values or improvements in the vicinity.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
State Highway 30 W is one of the primary corridors leading into and through the
city. The subject site is positioned in a transitional area on State Highway 30
where commercial uses are occurring to the east, an undeveloped 8.92 tract of
land to the west, a 320.5-acre Texas Department of Criminal Justice facility to the
north and undeveloped land to the south. While RV Parks can provide recreational opportunities and increased tourism in the city, it is the prerogative of
the City to set conditions of approval that mitigate adverse impacts on adjacent property owners and facilitate a safe and attractive environment for development
as the city continues to grow.
Staff finds that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or
general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity greater than any other use allowed by right in the Management Development District. Possible
injurious effects on surrounding property value may be mitigated by the
conditions of approval included in the draft Letter of Conditional Approval
because the proposed conditions would provide sufficient improvements and
buffering to create a safe and attractive environment for continued development of the SH 30 W corridor.
Due to this and the fact that the proposed use meets all three criteria as outlined
in the Development Code, staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use
Permit, with the conditions outlined in the Letter of Conditional Approval.

What Are Park Models?
Intended Use?
•According to the RV Industry Association (RVIA)’s definition,a park model is a towable RV designed to provide temporary living quarters for
recreational,seasonal,camping or travel use.Park model RVs are built on a single trailer chassis,mounted on wheels and have a gross trailer area
not exceeding 400 sf.They are certified by their manufacturers to comply with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)A119.5.
•Texas Administrative Code,Title 43,Part 10 Chapter 217,Subchapter A,Rule 217.3 states that “a recreational park model trailer that is primarily
designed as temporary living quarters for recreational,camping or seasonal use,is built on a single chassis,and is 400 sf or less when measured at
the largest horizontal projection when in the set-up mode shall be titled as a house trailer and may be issued travel trailer license plates”.
•Although the distinctive appearance of a park model RV sometimes leads people to think it looks like a small manufactured home,park models are
excluded from the definition of a manufactured home under regulations of the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
specifically because they are a type of RV (24 C.F.R.§3282.8(g)).
•While the term “park model”and “tiny home”are oftentimes used interchangeably,there is not a formal definition for tiny home.A tiny home
could be a park model,but it could also refer to a small house someone builds on their own.On the other hand,a park model is clearly defined is
manufactured to certain specifications.
•We intend to place these park model RVs for snowbirds or others who like to rent for a few months at a time to vacation or for those who want
weekend getaways.
•These park models can be rented on a daily,weekly or monthly basis and will fall under the standard guest agreements that our RV pads operate
on.
•These park model RVs operate similarly to hotels.These guest agreements give our management team the ability to immediately remove guests
that are not following the rules –there is no lease tied to these park model RVs and therefore no eviction processes will have to take place.
•We are using Platinum Cottages as the manufacturer of our park models.This manufacturer is the luxury option in the park model industry.More

Agenda Item # 2c
Item/Subject: Consider authorizing the City Manager to purchase a Fire Truck (Pierce Enforcer pumper)
and the associated equipment.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Public Safety
Presenter: Greg Mathis, Fire Chief
Recommended Motion: Move to waive the requirement for readings on two separate days and move
to authorize the City Manager to purchase a Pierce Enforcer Pumper and the associated equipment for
the budgeted amount of $747,000 to include all fees and authorize the City Manager to award the
contract.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #7 - Public Safety - Provide safety and security for all citizens.
Discussion: I am requesting the purchase of a new Fire apparatus. This will replace a 2008 International
500 gpm pumper that was scheduled for replacement in 2014. This truck is currently in reserve with
mileage unknown as the odometer no longer works. The electronics show in excess of 10,500 hours;
however, the accuracy is unknown. The proposal is for an NFPA compliant 2000 gpm pumper that would
also be equipped to meet and receive the maximum ISO credit when evaluated. Some of the necessary
equipment would need to be purchased as part of this package. A lot of the equipment that was on this
truck has been utilized elsewhere or is no longer serviceable. The air packs and some of the fire hose
from the older truck will be utilized. The in-cab radios and communications will need to be replaced as
that equipment is no longer manufactured and repair will be questionable. The new truck will match
the last two apparatus purchases as closely as possible. This will add to uniformity, response
capabilities, equipment similarity and ease of use. This will also allow our volunteer staff who may not
be here as often to be more familiar with our equipment and its capabilities which in turn, can improve
our response. I am also requesting that we use the 2008 International as a trade in for which we have
been offered $30,000 dollars which has been approved by the Director of Finance. We are also
requesting to waive the second reading for this item. I would then be able to proceed with the
apparatus order as well as the small equipment as lead times on many items are delayed.

Explanation:
The City's final award amount for federal ARP (American Rescue Plan) funds is
$10,466,726. Guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury specifically allowed for
funds to be allocated for "loss of revenue", Water and Wastewater projects, costs related
to responding to the public health emergency, and responding to negative economic
impacts which includes assistance to non-profits. The above are Budget Amendments for
the City Manager's suggested uses of the funds by the City as allowed by the Federal
Treasury. "Loss of revenue" in the amount of $537,000 is not part of the budget
amendments as monies are not designated for being expended but the City is allowed to
keep the ARP funds due to lost revenues to the City due to COVID (staff has calculated
about $420,000 for Municipal Court revenues, $86,000 for paid parking revenues, and
$31,000 in Aquatic Center revenues). A budget amendment for $364,000 for assistance
to Huntsville Memorial Hospital was approved at Council's September 21, 2021 meeting.
The budget amendments here along with the budget amendment from Septmeber 21,
2021 and the "loss of revenue" calculate to the total $10.466M of ARP funds for City of
Huntsville.
In February 2021 the City made application through HGAC (Houston-Galveston Area
Council) for a $82,023 grant from Office of the Governor - Criminal Justice Division for 80
digital radios for the Huntsville Police Department. The City was notified last month
(October 2021) that the grant has been approved/awarded. This Budget Amendment puts
in place budget for actually making the purchase of the radios.
Agenda Item# 2e
Item/Subject: Consider adoption of Ordinance No. 2021-39, temporarily lowering the speed limits on IH 45
during construction.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Engineering
Presenter: Charlie J. Thomas, Interim City Engineer
Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Ordinance No. 2021-39 temporarily lowering the speed limits on IH 45
during construction to 60 mph on the IH 45 main lanes and 40 mph and 45 mph on the frontage roads.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #4 - Infrastructure - Ensure the quality of the City utilities, transportation and physical
structures so that the City’s core services can be provided in an effective and efficient manner.
Background Information: TxDOT has let the contract for reconstructing the IH 45 from a four-lane divided
interstate to a six-lane undivided interstate with new frontage roads. Construction crews will be working near
the existing pavement and will at times close the existing entrance and exit ramps and travel lanes as part of the
construction work.
To improve the safety of the construction crews in the area as well as the motoring public traveling through the
work zone, TxDOT has requested the city to temporarily reduce the speed limit on the main lanes of IH 45 in the
work zone to 60 mph.
The TxDOT manual, Procedures for Establishing Speed Zones, describes the process for establishing a
construction speed zone within an incorporated city, which includes two options. A city may establish a
construction speed zone by adopting an ordinance or by making a request to TxDOT. The accompanying
ordinance established a temporary 60 mph construction speed zone on the main lanes along a section of IH 45
and 40 mph and 45 mph on the frontage roads within the City of Huntsville’s city limits.
The construction speed zone is temporary, becoming effective 10 days from the date of passage of the ordinance
and expiring after the completion of the TxDOT construction project. TxDOT and the contractor will be
responsible for placing all signs and establishing the times when the reduced speed zone is in effect based upon
the work in progress and traffic control plan in the construction plans. This temporary speed limit shall expire
when the roadway improvements have been completed and the maximum speed limit shall return to the original
speeds. Current Recommendation: For the safety of the construction crews and the traveling public, the staff
recommends granting TxDOT’s request to lower the speed limits on IH 45 through the construction zone and
approving Ordinance No. 2021-39 lowering the speed limits on IH 45 main lanes and frontage roads temporarily
within the city limits during the construction.
Overall Cost and Budget Information: TxDOT and the contractor will provide, install, and maintain all signs at
no cost to the city.

Item/Subject: Consider Ordinance No. 2021-38 Amending Chapter 2 Article 3 of the Huntsville Code
of Ordinance on fees for certain records and time limits for responding to certain Public Information
Requests
Initiating Department/Presenter: City Secretary
Presenter: Kristy Doll, City Secretary
Recommended Motion: 1st reading
Strategic Initiative: Goal #5 - Resource Development - Enhance the quality of life for citizens,
businesses and visitors by leveraging the human and fiscal resources available to the community.
Discussion:
The city is receiving a substantial number of large, redundant, or repetitive public information requests.
These large, redundant, and repetitive public information requests asking for a large amount of
information, can impose significant financial and time burdens on the City. Vexatious requests typically
require City personnel to divert their time spent on normal tasks to locate, compile, and reproduce the
requested information.
This Ordinance establishes reasonable monthly and yearly limits on the amount of time that City
personnel is required to produce public information for inspection or duplication by a requester or
provide copies of public information to a requester without recovering the City's costs attributable to
that personnel time. The Texas Government Code Section 552.275: authorizes a governmental body to
establish a reasonable limit, not less than 15 hours for a 1 month period or 36 hours in a 12 month
period, on the amount of time that personnel is required to spend producing public information for
inspection or copies to a requestor, without recovering the costs attributable to the personnel time
related to that requestor
Ordinance No. 2021-38 amends Section 2-49 of the Municipal Code and adopts fees for providing public
information to 25% more than the Texas Attorney General established as allowed by Texas Government
Code section 552.262(a). By amending the Code to include the 25% increase in fee instead of the
Ordinance that adopts the budget, it will make the costs easier to find and explain to the public.
.
Previous Council Action. The City has been adopting 25% more than the amount established by the
attorney general for providing Public Information as allowed by the Texas Government Code since 2016.
The fee has been included annually in the Ordinance that adopts the Fiscal Year budget.
Financial Implications: ☒There is no financial impact associated with this item.

Item/Subject: Consider authorizing the city manager amend FY 21-22 budget to include funding for
the Trinity River Food Bank in the amount of application request.
Initiating Department/Presenter: City Council
Presenter: Aron Kulhavy, City Manager on behalf of Blake Irving, Councilman Ward 3
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the City Manager amend FY 21-22 budget to include
funding for the Trinity River Food Bank in the amount of $10,000.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #5 - Resource Development - Enhance the quality of life for citizens,
businesses and visitors by leveraging the human and fiscal resources available to the community.
Discussion: Councilman Irving timely submitted a request for this item to be placed on a Council
Agenda. As he will not be a sitting Councilmember at the time this item is considered, staff is placing it
on the agenda on his behalf.
Councilman Irving submitted the following in support of his request: We love our community and
welcome all the people that come in and bring other resources with them. The Trinity River Food Bank
has been a great asset to our community in organizing locations not only in the city, but the county to
help feed families in our community. I feel it is important to support them as they help support our
community with an essential need, which is food.
As part of the annual budget process, funding is allocated for various non-profits in the community.
The amount allocated to non-profits in the FY 21-22 budget is $104,500, which has been essentially the
same amount for the past 5-years as shown in the attached spreadsheet. The City has agreements in
place with each of the funded non-profits to provide specific services for the money provided to them.
The City currently has no such agreement in place with the Trinity River Food Bank.
In addition to the annual funds budgeted by the City for non-profit assistance, a portion of the American
Rescue Plan Act funds have been set-aside for non-profit assistance. It is anticipated that this funding
will be made available to the eligible non-profits around the first of next year, and the Trinity River Food
Bank has been notified of this.
Previous Council Action: Council approved the FY 2021-22 budget including funding for non-profits
Financial Implications: ☒Item is not budgeted:
If the request is approved by Council, staff will initiate a budget amendment in the amount of $10,000
from General Fund unallocated reserves to the non-profit funding account.
