<br />Underwood Business Park <br />SCUP #08-005 (PackweIlII) <br />7/17/08 P&Z Meeting <br />Page 2 of3 <br /> <br />Conclusion! <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />District - Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of La Porte is located <br />north of State Highway 225. <br /> <br />Transportation - The project is located near State Highway 225 and <br />Battleground Road, a primary arterial and major truck route. As a <br />result, this project provides more than adequate accessibility for <br />circulation of traffic. All traffic entering/existing will be through Porter <br />Road along Old Underwood Road. There should be very limited impact <br />on traffic flow within the vicinity, even after full implementation of the <br />business park. In addition, the traffic shall not be directed south of <br />Underwood Road as per plan submitted by the developer. <br /> <br />Topography - This area is relatively flat and stable and should not be <br />an obstacle to this type of development. <br /> <br />Utilities and Drainage - Public facilities and services are sufficient to <br />handle the supply of potable water, but require upgrading for fire <br />protection in the area. In addition, provisions must be made to ensure <br />sufficient utility extensions are provided to serve this development. <br />Storm water drainage will be managed by on-site detention to mitigate <br />any adverse impacts associated with this proposed development. <br /> <br />Staff feels that the project has potential and would make a significant <br />impact on economic development within the City of La Porte. Based <br />on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of the General Plan <br />and Special Conditional Use Permit with the following conditions: <br /> <br />. This Special Conditional Use Permit is not applicable to any other <br />specific development anticipated or proposed by the General Plan. <br /> <br />. This SCUP outlines, in general terms, the proposed Planned Unit <br />Development. The developer recognizes and understands that any <br />future construction or development of the private or public <br />improvements anticipated by this SCUP and General Plan shall <br />require further submittal and approval of plats, site plans, <br />construction drawings, engineering analysis, covenants, etc. <br /> <br />. Provide on-site improvements, loading and unloading ramps/bays <br />that adequately handle the volume associated with this office/ <br />warehousing facility. Show all improvements on the site plan. <br />
