OPEN PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE CITIZEN INPUT ON REZONE REQUEST #R05-008 REQUESTED FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF CANADA ROAD AT FAIRMONT PARKWAY, FURTHER DESCRIBED AS TRS 710A & 711, LA PORTE OUTLOTS, WILLIAM M. JONES SURVEY, A-482, LA PORTE, HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS. THE APPLICANTS, JACK HOWARD, W. FLOYD, AND LARRY ALLEN, SEEK TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (R-2) AND NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL (NC) TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL (GC). A. STAFF PRESENTATION Wayne Sabo, Director of Planning, gave the Staff Report. This piece of land has a pipeline running directly through the middle of it, which sufficiently hinders it from being developed any type of residential zoning classification. Canada Road has recently been expanded into a four lane road, creating a better opportunity for retail development, and this particular intersection has been selected by the Buxton Company as a subject to be analyzed in order to attract development as retail or commercial property. Due to the above facts, Staff feels that this zone change is very appropriate. B. PROPONENTS There were none. C. OPPONENTS There were none.
