REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Appropriation Agenda Date Requested: 07.22.19 Source of Funds: N/A Requested By: Ian Clowes, City Planner Department: Planning & Development Account Number: N/A Amount Budgeted: N/A Report Resolution Ordinance Amount Requested: N/A Exhibits: Ordinance No. 2019-3748 Budgeted Item: Yes No Proposed SCUP P&Z Recommendation Letter Aerial Map Zoning Map Applicant Information SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Applicant, Jeff Davis, is seeking approval of an amendment to the existing Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP) to allow for the redevelopment of the existing pre-check truck facility. The specific tract is located at 900 E. Barbours Cut Blvd. and is legally described as Reserve A, Block 1, Port of Houston Authority. The property is owned and operated by the Port Authority of Houston and houses one of their pre-check trucking facilities. The site is operating under an existing SCUP which was approved in 2003. The current SCUP was amended in October of 2017 to allow for extended hours of operation. This was due to an increase in traffic at the port and thus, an increase in trucks being processed through the pre-check facility. The new request is to amend six (6) of the original thirteen (13) conditions in order to facilitate a proposed redevelopment and expansion of the current pre-check truck facility. The amendments are as follows: Condition #3 - "Comply with the General Plan approved be the City." The Port Authority requests that Permit Condition No. 3 be amended to reflect an amended General Plan approved by the City, which reflects the updated Site Plan (See Exhibit D). Condition #4 -"Ensure that at least 30 percent of the property consists of landscaping and/ or screening."
