P. Harris Survey, A-30, La Porte, Harris <br />County, Texas. The property is further described as being located in the <br />1200 Block of McCabe Road. <br />Present Land Use: <br />Present Zoning <br />Requested Use: <br />Low -Density Residential <br />Planned Unit Development (PUD) <br />Multi -Family Residential <br />Background: Park Forest Apartments is a proposed multi -family residential development <br />to be located at the corner of SH 146 and McCabe Road. Special Conditional <br />Use Permit (SCUP) to develop an apartment complex within a Planned Unit <br />Development (P.U.D) zone along with a General Plan were presented to the <br />Commission on September 21, 2000. The Commission recommended <br />approval of the Park Forest Apartments and City Council granted final <br />approval for this development on October 9, 2000. <br />Analysis: Special Conditional Use Permit is required per Section 106-637 of the <br />Ordinances for developing a PUD district development. An application for a <br />General Plan was processed simultaneously with the Conditional .Use <br />Permit. Section 106-216 of the Code of Ordinances, and the approved SCUP <br />both define a one-year time frame for construction to begin for the proposed <br />development. Failure to begin construction within one year voids the <br />approved SCUP, unless an extension is granted by the Commission. <br />Since approval of SCUP from City Council, no development plans were <br />submitted and subsequently no construction occurred at the site. The <br />applicant stated that unforeseen reasons delayed the project, but the applicant <br />expressed interest in developing the site. <br />
