Preferred Freezer Company is to be located in the Underwood <br />Business Park off Old Underwood Road, south of State Highway 225 and Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). Clay <br />Development and Construction Inc. is seeking this permit for development of a 10.115 acre tract being Reserve G2 <br />along Porter Road, within the Underwood Business Park. The property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) <br />and shall be developed in phases. Each additional reserve/phase of the project would require a subsequent Special <br />Conditional Use Permit, followed with a development site plan submittal. <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 10 laid Underwood Road. To the east, a 44 acre tract is reserved for detention purposes. The project <br />has an approved General Plan and Special Conditional Use Permit. The first phase of the business park development <br />started in May 2005, with a project known as "Poly One", which was completed earlier this year. Subsequently, several <br />other developments (office/warehouses and distribution centers) were approved by the City. Building permits were <br />issued for construction of a 432,000 square foot office/warehouse building, a 900,000 square foot building, (to be <br />used as distribution centers) and other spec. buildings. These buildings are currently under construction and will be <br />partially rail served at a later stage. <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 06- <br />007 with the conditions as listed in the SCUP. <br /> <br />Action Required bv Council: <br />1. Conduct a Public hearing. <br /> <br />2. Consider Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to approve Special Conditional Use Permit <br />#SCU 06-007 for a 10.115 acre tract being Reserve G2 out of :t207 acres of land located along Old <br />Underwood Road south of State Highway 225 and Union Pacific Railroad. <br /> <br />Approved for Citv Council Al!enda <br /> <br /> <br />./10' <br />ate <br />
