This request is in <br />addition to the existing SCUP #04-012 and General Plan approved for the <br />development of Lakes at Fairmont Greens. <br /> <br />65 La Porte, Ltd., (Arete Real Estate & Development Corporation) <br /> <br />20:t acres ofland located in the W. P. Harris Survey, A-30, La Porte, Harris <br />County, Texas. This property is located at the northeast comer of McCabe <br />Road at State Highway 146. It is bounded on the east by the Taylor Bayou <br />and Bay Forest Golf Course. On the north, it is adjacent to the Lakes at <br />F airmont Greens, Section 1, a proposed single- family residential <br />development surrounding Bay Forest Golf Course. <br /> <br />Planned Unit Development (PUD) <br /> <br />Single-Family Residential Development, special/zero lot line (l08 units) <br /> <br />As per definition, single-family dwelling special lot means any residential lot <br />for single-family purposes with an area of less than 6,000 square feet, but <br />equal or greater than 4,500 square feet. Since this is a new concept for this <br />City and within a PUD, the Staff focused on the merits of the concept <br />presented and not on the definition of single-family development. <br /> <br />Since the land use has not been firmly established, this tract requires a new <br />Special Conditional Use Permit. <br /> <br />The Arete Real Estate Co. and John Hettig submitted a General Plan and <br />Special Conditional Use Permit SCU#03-002 for :t150 acres located at State <br />High 146 just south of the Baypoint Townhomes and west of the Bay Forest <br />Golf Course. The General Plan proposed single-family residential, multi- <br />family residential, and neighborhood commercial uses within the Planned <br />Unit Development zoning district (PUD). <br /> <br />Based upon the initial General Plan, SCU#03-002, including the multi- <br />family portion of the development, was approved in 2003 as a joint venture. <br />Integrated into the plan was a land swap of 20+/- acre tract at the northeast <br />comer of McCabe Road and S.H. 146. As a joint venture, it was envisioned <br />that a land swap between the two developers would benefit the entire plan. <br /> <br />With both the land swap and portion of the project held in abeyance, the <br />current developer requested a new Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU04- <br />012 along with a new General Plan without the land swap or the multi- <br /> <br />nHl~rr C <br />
