December 19, 2002
Zone Change Request #R 02-002
Requested by: Port of Houston Authority
do Brenda K. McDonald, Real Estate Manager
represented by Kent Marsh, Knudson and Associates
Requested for: 20.7 acres of land being lots 17-32 of block 438; lots 1-32 block 439;
lots 1-16 block 974; lots 1-32 of blocks 975,976, 977, 978, thru 979;
and adjoining alleys within these blocks and portions of 10th, 11th,
12thAvenues, Brownell, Nugent, Holmes and Carroll Streets, out of the
Johnson Hunter League, Abstract-35, City of La Porte, Harris County,
Texas.
Location: E. Barbour's Cut Boulevard (near the City of La Porte's city limits)
Present Zonin2: Business Industrial (BI)
Requested Zonin2: Planned Unit Development (PUD)
Baclmround: This site consists of 20.7 acres located on East Barbour's Cut
Boulevard. The City of La Porte limit lines run parallel to the property
lines along Barbour's Cut Boulevard. (See Exhibit A.) The Port of
Houston Authority's container facilities are located on the north of the
said property across Barbour's Cut Boulevard.
Currently, the property is designated as Business Industrial (BI) zoning.
The Port of Houston Authority is requesting that the property is rezoned
from BI to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The Port is proposing a
truck pre-check facility with a combined total of 14 truck lanes. The
facility would have two entry points and an exit gate along Barbour's
Cut Boulevard. (See Exhibit B.) This proposed facility would not be
permitted in the BI zone.
The Commission is asked to consider this request as it represents the
Port's first step that must be taken prior to developing this facility. The
Port understands that additional approvals must be obtained. These
steps include securing the closure of several streets and alleys from City
Council and obtaining approval of a Special Conditional Use Permit
(SCUP) and site plan from the Commission and City Council.
Analvsis:
Section 106-656 provides the purpose and intent of the PUD district.
A PUD offers more flexibility in design, open space/buffering, and
activities through conditional use provisions. This section also notes
that the PUD designation requires the approval of a SCUP and a
development site plan.
BHIBlff B,
Port of Houston Authority
12/19/02 P&Z Meeting
Page 2 of3
e
e
To determine if this requests meets the requirements for PUD, Staff
reviewed the following:
Land Use - The City's Comprehensive Plan shows this area
developing with industrial uses. The existing land uses of nearby
properties are primarily industrial (the Port Authority main facility);
however, there are single-family residences south of the undeveloped
"E" Street right-of-way. See Exhibit C.
In general, high intensity uses should be adjacent to each other. When
higher uses abut residential uses buffering must occur to protect the
health, safety, and general welfare neighborhood. As a part of the Port's
site plan, they will incorporate a berm, landscaping, and a masonry wall
to protect the adjacent residential from the activities of the proposed
pre-check facility. (See Landscaping/screening section.)
Transportation - Being located along Barbour's Cut Boulevard, a
primary arterial road and major truck route, provides more than
adequate accessibility for circulation of truck traffic. There should be
very limited impact on traffic flow within the vicinity even after full
implementation of the proposed project.
The two private drives and truck parking areas will be designed and
constructed in conformance with City Standards. Since trucking
movement is the primary function of the facility, access management
and circulation should be the top priority while designing the whole
project. Driveways connecting directly onto the roadway should be
minimized to avoid traffic congestion and other delays caused by
turning movements for the eighteen-wheelers entering and existing the
facility.
Utilities - Public facilities and services are sufficient to handle the
supply of potable water and fire protection in the area. In addition,
provisions will have to be made to ensure that sufficient utility
extensions are made to serve this development. Storm water drainage
will require on-site detention to mitigate any adverse impacts associated
with this proposed development.
Landscaping I Screening - Barbour's Cut Boulevard is the main truck
route to and from the Barbour's Cut Terminal facility. As a result,
numerous trucking services related businesses are located along this
corridor. There is a small residential zoned undeveloped area to the
southeast of the property across North "E" Street. An unimproved
ROW adjacent to this property can serve as a buffer between trucking
activities along Barbour's Cut Boulevard and residential area. In
addition, the proposed development will be screened from the
Port of Houston Authority
12/19/02 P&z Meeting
Page 3 of3
Conclusion:
e
e
neighboring residential with a proposed landscape berm along south
property line. In addition, the Port is planning an integrated themed
landscape along Barbour's Cut Boulevard. These issues will be
discussed in detail when the Commission receives a request for a
Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP).
Based on the above analysis, Staff finds the requested change is
compatible with the zoning and uses of nearby properties. The tract in
question is suitable for the requested change to PUD making an
environment conducive for the Port of Houston Authority's expansion
project. It would not have a significant impact on traffic conditions in
the area and utilities would not be affected. Development within the
subject tract should not negatively impact the surrounding properties
and should not harm the value of nearby properties.
By acting on this item, the Commission is simply approving or denying
the rezone request and forwarding their recommendation to the Council
for consideration. The Commission's action does not approve the
facility. The Port must still obtain approval from the Council to close
various streets and alleys. In addition, the Port must also receive
approval from the Commission and Council for the SCUP. When the
project progresses to the SCUP and site plan process, the Commission
may take additional steps to ensure that land uses, landscaping, lighting,
setbacks, and other items are considered.
In reviewing this request the Commission should consider the following
points:
. There was no apparent error in assigning the present zoning (BI)
designation to the tract in question.
. The applicant's requested zoning to PUD provides some
flexibility for the developer while at the same time allowing the
City to review specific uses and site layouts at the various stages
of the proposed development.
Options available to the Commission are:
. Recommend to Council approval of this rezoning request from
BI to PUD.
. Recommend to Council denial of this rezoning request from BI
to POO.
. Continue the public hearing at the Commission's next regular
meeting to allow additional testimony and further study of this
item. This results in tabling any action on this item.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission, during their December 19, 2002 meeting, held a public hearing to receive citizen
comments regarding Rezone Request #R 02-002. This request involves approximately 20.7 acres located on East
Barbour's Cut Boulevard. (See Exhibit C.) As the owner of this property, the Port of Houston Authority is requesting a
rezone from Business Industrial (BI) to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The Port is proposing a truck pre-check
facility with 14 truck lanes. (See Exhibit D.) Currently, this proposed facility is not permitted in the BI zoning district. In
the PUD district, all uses are permitted; however, the Planning and Zoning Commission and Council determine if the use
is appropriate/compatible with the existing land use and the City's Comprehensive Plan. (See Exhibit E.) The
Commission and Council may also place specific conditions and controls on that use/activity.
This request is the first step that the Port must take prior to developing this facility. The Port understands that additional
approvals, from Council regarding street and alley closures, and approval of a Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP)
and site plan from the Commission and Council, must also occur. During the regular meeting, the Planning and Zoning
Commission also acknowledged that during these processes, additional requirements regarding lighting, landscaping, and
buffering the nearby residential from the facility will be discussed and incorporated into the plans.
As required by ordinance, twenty-three (23) notices of public hearing were mailed to property owners within 200' of the
site. In addition, Staff obtained the mailing list used by the Port when they held their community meetings this past spring.
After accounting for duplicates, nine (9) additional notices were mailed to property owners within 500' of the site. This
ensured that the property owners invited to the Port's community meetings also received public notice ofthe rezone. Staff
received a total of four (4) responses, which were all in favor of the rezone. The responses are attached as Exlubit F.
By a unanimous vote during their regular meeting, the Commission recommended to Council approval of Rezone Request
#R 02-002. The following options are available to Council:
. Table the item until a specified future meeting date.
. Approve the Commission's recommendation with a simple majority.
. Disapprove the Commission's recommendation with a % majority.
Action Required bv Council:
I. Conduct public hearing.
2. Consider approval of Rezone Request #R 02-002.
