P. Harris Swvey, A-30, La Porte, Harris <br />County, Texas (Exhibit A). This property is further described as being <br />located in the 1200 Block of McCabe Road. The project is identified as the <br />Park Forest Apartments. <br /> <br />Neighborhood Commercial (NC), Planned Unit Development (PUD), and <br />Low Density Residential (R-l) <br /> <br />Multi-Family Residential <br /> <br />This property is located at the southwest comer of SH 146 and McCabe <br />Road. It is bounded on the east by Shady River Subdivision and on the south <br />by Shoreacres. Mr. Ed Dutko made a presentation of his proposed General <br />Plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission on August 19, 1999. This <br />General Plan, which was a modification from previous development <br />submittals, demonstrated that 75.7 of the 107 acres would need to be <br />preserved based on a permit he received from the US Army Corps of <br />Engineers. ,The permit states that a Conservation Easement will need to be <br />established that will preserve the 75.7 acres in perpetuity. In addition, the <br />permit states that noxious plant species such as Chinese tallow, cattail, and <br />willow will be controlled for a period of 5 years. The remaining developable <br />acreage shows 28.5 acres as high-density residential and 1.35 acres as a <br />commercial comer (Exhibit B). The Commission was receptive to this plan <br />, and suggested Mr. Dutko proceed with formal submittals for Phase 1 which <br />is approximately 16 acres in the existing PUD zoning district. <br /> <br />Development in a PUD zoning district requires ,that a General Plan (for the <br />entire proposed project) and a Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP) (for <br />the initial phase of development) be submitted and processed <br />simultaneously. Upon approval of the General Plan and SCUP the applicant <br />would be authorized to submit a Major Development Site Plan. This Site <br />Plan would be reviewed and acted upon by the Commission. Approval of <br />the Site Plan would allow the applicant to submit building plans for review <br />and then to begin construction of the project. <br /> <br />Section 106-659 of the Code of Ordinances establishes the following criteria <br />for review of development projects within a PUD zoning district: <br />
