The request, submitted by Melvin <br />Walker, seeks approval to construct an off-site parking lot for a restaurant located at 2219 Underwood Road. The <br />propeny is located within a General Commercial Zone and is further described as approximately 0.22 ac. (9,769.68 sq. <br />ft.) being pan of a 0.9534 acre of land out of and pan of Outlot 490, Harris County, Texas. Off-site parking within a <br />General Commercial Zone is a Conditional Use, per Section 106-441 of the Code of Ordinances. ' <br /> <br />Mr. Walker intends to open a restaurant, but needs additional parking to meet City requirements. The land behind <br />the restaurant where the proposed parking lot would be constructed is owned by David Schoolcraft. Mr. Schoolcraft <br />is willing to lease the propeny to Mr. Walker for that purpose. <br /> <br />As proposed, the parking lot complies with all applicable zoning regulations. Parking spaces and maneuvering aisles <br />are of adequate dimension and access from the off-site parking lot to the building is reasonable. Development within <br />the subject tract should not impact the viability of the surrounding area and would not be contrary to the goals and <br />objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The parking lot should be screened from the adjoining residential <br />propeny. Landscaping should be performed in accordance with Section 106-444(a) of the Code of Ordinances. <br /> <br />Seven notices of public hearing were mailed to surrounding property owners. One response was received in <br />opposition to the request. <br /> <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission, by unanimous vote, has recommended approval of Special Conditional Use <br />Permit #SCU99-001 with the following conditions: <br />1. The off-site parking shall comply with all parking standards. <br />2. Screening and! or landscaping of parking lot shall be required. <br />3.
