• • SCU05-003 Feb 17, 2005 Page 4 of 4 Drainage - It is expected that the anticipated drainage study on the subject property will include the effect of the development on the surrounding properties as well as the development's effect on the watershed. A thorough drainage report will and should include such effects. Such a report should give details of the proposed drainage channel to be constructed extending A104-00-00 into the development, its use as in-line detention, expected runoff flows and internal drainage subareas. For the properties (if there are any) that drain through the property in question, it is also expected that the drainage report will address such impacts and suggest mitigation efforts. Conclusion & Recommendation: Recognizing that these are difficult issues, Staff and the developer created a preliminary development proposal. All applicable elements of the Comprehensive Plan were initially reviewed and incorporated into this development proposal. Given that we now see some forward movement on the development in general, Staff recommends the Special Conditional Use Permit with the understanding that a revised General Plan, Development Agreement, and all supporting documents contained therein will be presented in final form and that this SCUP does not go into effect until all elements are resubmitted to the Commission and approved by City Council. Should the Commission wish to approve the SCUP in its present format, staff recommends the following: 1. This SCUP does not go into effect until amended General Plan, Development Agreement, and all other supporting documents are considered by the Commission & approved by City Council. 2. This SCUP is not applicable to any specific development anticipated or proposed by this General Plan. 3. This SCUP outlines in general terms the proposed Planned Unit Development. The developer recognizes and understands that any future construction or development of the private or public improvements anticipated by this SCUP and the General Plan shall require further submittal and approval of plats, site plans, construction drawings, engineering analysis, covenants, etc. 4. Said submittals shall be in accordance with the SCUP, the approved General Plan, and the future approved Development Agreement. 5. The Developer shall comply with all other applicable laws and ordinances of the City of La Porte and the State of Texas. Actions required by the Commission: • Recommend to Council approval of this SCUP with conditions. • Recommend to Council denial of this SCUP. • Recommend tabling this SCUP for further review.
