seD #06-007 11116/06 P&Z Page 2 of3 Conclusion! Recommendation Land Use - The City's Land Use Plan shows this area developing with industrial uses. The existing land uses of nearby properties are predominantly industrial. The Battleground Industrial Park is located just north of this development. In addition, the Battleground Industrial District - Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of La Porte is located north of State Highway 225. Transportation - The project is located within proximity to State Highway 225 and Battleground Road, major highway, primary arterial and major truck route. This project provides adequate accessibility for circulation of traffic. All traffic entering/existing will be through Porter Road along Old Underwood Road. There should be limited impact on traffic flow within the vicinity. In addition, the traffic shall not be directed south of Underwood Road as per plan submitted by the developer. Topography - This area is relatively flat and stable and should not be an obstacle to this type of development. Utilities and Drainage - Public facilities and services are sufficient to handle the supply of potable water. The developer has installed a new water line for fire protection in the area. In addition, provisions must be made to ensure sufficient utility extensions are provided to serve this development. Storm water drainage or detention will be managed through existing on-site detention to mitigate any adverse impacts associated with this proposed development. Staff feels that the project would make a significant impact on economic development within the City of La Porte. Based on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of the Special Conditional Use Permit with the following conditions: · This SCUP outlines, in general terms, the proposed Planned Unit Development. The developer recognizes and understands that any future construction or development of the private or public improvements anticipated by this SCUP and General Plan shall require further submittal and approval of plats, site plans, construction drawings, engineering analysis, and covenants. · Provide on-site improvements, loading and unloading ramps/bays that adequately handle the volume associated with this office and warehousing facility.
