NOW, THEREFORE, The City of Plainview Hereby Ordains that: SECTION 1. The City finds that all of the recitals stated above are found to be true and correct and hereby incorporates its comprehensive plan, as may be amended, as if fully set forth herein. SECTION 2. This Ordinance shall apply to the Site as described herein and reflected in the attached Exhibit "A" located in the City except where specifically exempted by Ordinance or otherwise prohibited by state law. SECTION 3. Purpose of the Program. The City of Plainview Community Development Program No. 1 represents one element of the City's long range and comprehensive plan for encouraging thoughtful, sustainable development in the Plainview community. Upon creating the Program, the City will take the necessary steps to preserve the Site in its current undeveloped and vacant state. Thereafter, the City will begin formulating a feasible plan for the future development of the Site that may draw upon the creative visions of the community. The City's plan may utilize professional consultants, strategic planning, public-private partnerships or any other tool or program to ensure that the Site develops in a manner that maximizes the Site's highest and best use for the City and surrounding community. SECTION 4. Geography and Local Development. The City of Plainview is located in the Texas Panhandle and is the Hale County seat of government. Plainview is the largest city in the county and, as a result, provides services for the entire county. Plainview's ability to create sustainable future growth is connected with the community's ability to attract new residents and businesses. Historically, agricultural production in Hale County has been well diversified, making it one of the leading farming, cotton and livestock -producing counties in the State of Texas. The County also has had diverse industrial development, but sustained a major loss of a beef packing plant in 2013 employing approximately 2,200 employees. In a City with a population of 22,194, according to the 2010 census, the loss of jobs caused an economic downturn effecting the Plainview residents and businesses. Consequently, the City of Plainview has taken a proactive approach in locating the Site on a major thoroughfare, Interstate 27, to encourage the expansion, improvement, and development of community services for industrial development opportunities to aid in alleviating physical and economic distress through the stimulation of private investment and community revitalization. With the development of the Site, new opportunities will likely present themselves, and the City wants to ensure that the character of the Site is preserved and developed in a manner that (1) serves as a gateway to attract local and surrounding residents (2) diversifies and strengthens the local economy; and (3) is consistent with the City's vision of industrial growth. Ord. 15-3620 Community Development Program Page 2 of 5 SECTION 5. Program Site Location and Analysis. The Program Site is located within the City of Plainview, Texas near westbound Interstate 27 and North State Highway 194 (Dimmitt Highway). The City's population is 22,194 according to the 2010 census. Most of the area is already zoned for industrial uses by a Manufacturing designation. A review of the local real estate market showed an economic downturn resulting from the beef packing plant's closure in 2013. In accordance with the general area already zoned for industrial uses, the Program Site will allow the City to expand and improve the opportunities for industrial growth by preserving the land for its more rational use and developing its natural resources to enhance the said Site. The City's intent and desire is that future development of such Program Site utilize the property at its "Highest and Best Use." "Highest and Best Use" is defined as "the reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value." Based on a review of financial information available at the time the City considered this Ordinance, the City reasonably believes that the highest and best use of the property is for industrial development as future demand warrants. SECTION 6. Basis for the Program. The Program Site is located in what the City's Comprehensive Plan identifies as a Future Land Use and Character for primarily Industrial uses. As such, development and land use planning should be thoughtfully pursued with a vision of the City's image in mind in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. In the past, industrial land use patterns have followed a typical pattern seen at the edge of urban areas, which should have good access to truck routes, hazardous material routes and railroads. To the extent possible, the City wants to discourage negative influences in these uses on the quality of community services available to the residents of the City in the future. The City is committed to the preservation of the existing land use character for the community while encouraging progressive development in the future. By encouraging industrial development at this location, the City could help reverse the economic downturn resulting from the beef packing plant's closure. Accordingly, the City's adoption of the Program Site described herein serves a public purpose and is designed to accomplish the following goals: (1) Elimination of slums and areas affected by blight; (2) Prevention of blighting influences that may have an adverse effect on the welfare of the City and the surrounding community; (3) Elimination and prevention of conditions that are or could be detrimental to public health, safety and welfare; (4) Expansion and improvement of the quantity and quality of community services essential for the development of viable urban communities; (5) Encourage, promote and facilitate the more rational use of land; Ord. 15-3620 Community Development Program Page 3 of 5 305 306 (6) Encourage, promote and facilitate the improved arrangement of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and other necessary activity centers for the City and the surrounding community; (7) Encourage, promote and facilitate the restoration and preservation of properties of special value for historic, architectural, or aesthetic reasons; (8) Encourage, promote and facilitate the alleviation of physical and economic distress through the stimulation of private investment and community revitalization; and (9) Meet any other urgent community development needs that the City may later identify as part of the Program. Based on the foregoing, the approval and creation of the Program serves an important public purpose that will improve the public health, safety, welfare, and local economic opportunities for the City and its residents. SECTION 7. Effective Date. The City hereby adopts this Ordinance, and by doing so, creates the City of Plainview Community Development Program No. 1, which shall be effective when published as required by law. SECTION 8. Severability. In the event any clause, phrase, provision, sentence or part of this Ordinance or the application of the same to any person or circumstances shall for any reason be adjudged invalid or held unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect, impair, or invalidate this Ordinance as a whole or any part or provision hereof other than the part declared to be invalid or unconstitutional. The City Council of the City of Plainview, Texas declares that it would have passed each and every part of the same notwithstanding the omission of any part thus declared to be invalid or unconstitutional, or whether there be one or more parts. SECTION 9. Cumulativeness. Provisions of this Ordinance are cumulative and nothing herein shall prevent, alter, or diminish the applicability or enforcement of other ordinances restricting, regulating, or governing the subject matter herein. SECTION 10. Conflicts. All ordinances or portions of any ordinance of the City of Plainview, Texas in conflict herewith, are hereby amended to conform with the provisions hereof.
