<br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br />Appropriation <br /> <br />Agenda Date Requested: July 23. 2007 <br /> <br />Requested By: Wayne !/'s~ <br />I <br /> <br />Source of Funds: <br /> <br />NA <br /> <br />Account Number: <br /> <br />NA <br /> <br />Department: <br /> <br />Planninl.! <br /> <br />Amount Budgeted: NA <br /> <br />Report: --X-Resolution: _Ordinance:_ <br /> <br />Amount Requested: NA <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />Ordinance <br />P&Z Staff Report <br />Aerial Map <br />Site Plan <br /> <br />Budl.!et Item: <br /> <br />NA <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br /> <br />On June 21, 2007, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU 07-005 <br />for a proposed office/warehouse facility to be located in the Underwood Business Park off Old Underwood Road, <br />south of State Highway 225 and Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). Clay Development and Construction Inc. is <br />seeking this permit for development of a 5.914 acre tract being Reserve C3 along Porter Road, within the <br />Underwood Business Park. The property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) and shall be developed in <br />phases. Each additional reserve/phase of the project would require a subsequent Special Conditional Use Permit, <br />followed with a development site plan submittal. The attached SCUP is identical to those previously approved by <br />Council for other speculative buildings within the project site. <br /> <br />Underwood Business Park is a commercial/industrial and design built complex off Old Underwood Road. The total site <br />consists of approximately 207 acres located to the south of State Highway 225, Union Pacific Railroad, and Battleground <br />Industrial Park at 101 Old Underwood Road. To the east, a 44 acre tract is reserved for detention purposes. The project <br />has an approved General Plan and Final Plat. The first phase of the business park development started in May 2005, <br />with a project known as Poly One. Subsequently, several other developments (office/warehouses and distribution <br />centers) were approved by the City. Building permits were issued for construction of a 432,000 square foot <br />office/warehouse building, a 900,000 square foot building, (to be used as distribution centers) and other spec. <br />buildings. These buildings are currently under construction and will be partially rail served at a later stage. At <br />present, 60% ofthe business park has been completed. <br /> <br />The City's Comprehensive Plan intends for this area to develop with industrial uses, and the existing land uses of nearby <br />properties are primarily industrial. Considering the economic development within La Porte, the project has merit. <br /> <br />Public Notices were mailed to six (6) property owners. No responses were received. By unanimous vote, the Planning <br />and Zoning Commission has recommended City Council consider approval of Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU 07- <br />005 with the conditions as listed in the SCUP attached herewith. <br /> <br />Action Required by Council: <br />1. Conduct a Public hearing. <br /> <br />2. Consider Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to approve Special Conditional Use Permit <br />#SCU 07-005 for a 5.914 acre tract being Reserve C3 out of:!:207 acres ofland located along Old <br />Underwood Road south of State Highway 225 and Union Pacific Railroad. <br /> <br />Approved for City Council Al!enda <br /> <br /> <br />"/17 } ,')" <br />~ <br />
