Clay Development and Construction Inc. is <br />seeking this permit for proposed development of an office/warehouse facility for Packwell II on a 10.64 acre tract <br />being Reserve D located along Porter Road, within the Underwood Business Park. The property is zoned Planned <br />Unit Development (PUD) and General Plan has been approved by the City. Each additional reserve/phase of the <br />project would require a subsequent Special Conditional Use Permit, followed with a development site plan submittal. <br />The attached SCUP is identical to those previously approved by Council for other speculative buildings within the <br />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 off 101 Old Underwood Road. To the east, a 44 acre tract is reserved for <br />detention purposes. The project has an approved General Plan and Final Plat. The first phase of the business park <br />development started in May 2005, with a project known as Poly One. Subsequently, several other developments <br />(office/warehouses and distribution centers) were approved by the City. Building permits were issued for <br />construction of a 432,000 square foot office/warehouse building, a 900,000 square foot building, (to be used as <br />distribution centers) and other spec. buildings. These buildings are currently under construction and will be partially <br />rail served at a later stage. At present, 70% 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 four (4) 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 08- <br />005 with the conditions as listed in the SCUP attached herewith. <br /> <br /> <br />Action Reauired bv Council: <br />1. Conduct a Public hearing. <br /> <br />Consider Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to approve Special Conditional Use Permit <br />#SCU 08-005 for a 10.64 acre tract being Reserve D out of:t207 acres ofland located along Old <br />Underwood Road south of State Highway 225. <br /> <br />Ron Bottoms, City Manager <br /> <br />~ dt> <br /> <br />Date <br />
