• • <br />i ordinance requirements. <br />Comprehensive Plan Issues <br />Land Use: As indicated by the zoning designation, the <br />proposed subdivision is compatible with the underlying <br />"Commercial Use" designation assigned to this general area. <br />Thoroughfare: State Highway 146 and Fairmont Parkway are <br />both major thoroughfares. Highway 146 is a "Controlled Access <br />Highway." The Texas Department of Transportation is <br />currently reviewing the location of the proposed driveway <br />entrance on the 146 face of the property. Fairmont Parkway is <br />a "Semi-controlled Access Highway." Driveway locations on this <br />face of the property will be primarily regulated by the City <br />through zoning and development ordinance regulation. Harris <br />County will also exercise jurisdiction over location of esplanade <br />cuts. <br />The issue of driveway location is currently being reviewed, and <br />all recommendations will be determined before final plat <br />approval is granted. Development of right turn, or "refuge" <br />• lanes at certain driveway entrances are under examination as <br />per previous Planning and Zoning Commission <br />recommendations. Approval of the preliminary plat does not <br />affect the review and approval of curb cuts, driveways, and <br />cross-overs. <br />Stormwater Plan: The Fairmont Parkway storm water system <br />was designed to accommodate the property on which this <br />subdivision is to be developed. There is no need for on site <br />detention. The City Engineer, along with the Texas <br />Department of Transportation, Harris County Flood Control <br />District, and the Developer, will determine the stormwater <br />flows for the site before final plat approval. <br />Utility Plan: There is adequate potable water and sanitary <br />sewer capacity existing in the area to serve the subdivision. <br />Some abandonment of existing utilities will be necessary to <br />accommodate construction of buildings within the subdivision. <br />The easements proposed are adequate for service to all lots <br />within the subdivision. They also appear to provide adequate <br />easements to properties located around the subdivision's <br />perimeter. Staff has forwarded copies of the preliminary plat <br />• <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
