• • Staff Report Underwood Business Park November 17, 2005 Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU OS-007 Requested bv: Clay Development & Construction Inc. c/o Danny Martin Requested for: 65.098 acre tract out of 206.990 acres of land in the Enoch Brinson Survey, Abstract 5, described as parcel 1 under the Harris County Clerk's File No. M032856, La Porte, Harris County, Texas. Location: Old Underwood Road and S.H. 225 Present Zoning: Planned Unit Development (PUD) Requested Use: Warehouse & Distribution Center (Phase II) Background: This site consists of approx. 207 acres located to the south of State Highway 225 and the Battleground Industrial Park located at 101 Old Underwood Road. At this time, the developer is proposing a warehouse and distribution center on a 65-acre tract (reserves B and H of the business park). The facility has an entrance along Old Underwood Road access through Battleground Road and State Highway 225. On January 20, 2005, Clay Development and Construction Inc. submitted a General Plan and Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU05-002 for development of Underwood Business Park, to contain offices, warehousing and distribution center in a PUD zone. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended to City Council approval of the General Plan and Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU05-002. City Council, at their February 14, 2005, meeting, approved the SCUP. The subject property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD). The PUD zoning assigned to this tract is largely based on the great amount of undeveloped, unsubdivided acreage located in this area. Development in a PUD zoning district requires that an application for a general plan be filed and processed simultaneously with the Special Conditional Use Permit. The first phase of this project was initiated in May 2005 with the development of Poly One Corporation to be located at 9710 Porter Road, which is a private 60' ingress/egress and utility easement .This office/warehouse facility consists of approximately 131,250 sq.ft. The current request is for Phase II of the development consisting of a 423,870 sq.ft. building for "Packwell" and a 900K sq.ft building as Underwood Distribution Center.
