<br />Underwood Business Park <br />SCUP #06-002 <br />6/15/06 P&Z Meeting <br />Page 2 on <br /> <br />Conclusion! <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />north of this development. In addition, the Battleground Industrial <br />District - Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of La Porte is located <br />north of State Highway 225. <br /> <br />Transportation - The project is located near State Highway 225 and <br />Battleground Road, a primary arterial and major truck route. As a result, <br />this project provides more than adequate accessibility for circulation of <br />traffic. All traffic entering/existing will be through Porter Road along <br />Old Underwood Road. There should be very limited impact on traffic <br />flow within the vicinity, even after full implementation of the said <br />business park. In addition, the traffic shall not be directed south of <br />Underwood Road. <br /> <br />Topography - This area is relatively flat and stable and should not be <br />an obstacle to this type of development. <br /> <br />Utilities and Drainage - Public facilities and services are sufficient to <br />handle the supply of potable water, but require upgrading for fIre <br />protection in the area. In addition, provisions must be made to ensure <br />sufficient utility extensions are provided to serve this development. <br />Storm water drainage will be managed by on-site detention to mitigate <br />any adverse impacts associated with this proposed development. <br /> <br />Staff feels that the project has potential and would make a signifIcant <br />impact on economic development within the City of La Porte. Based <br />on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of the General Plan <br />and Special Conditional Use Permit with the following conditions: <br /> <br />.
