SUMMARY
On July 20, 2006, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered Special Conditional Use Permit for development
of an office/warehouse building B5 (427,500 s~. ft.) on Reserve 'B' within the Port Crossing, a proposed
business/industrial park, to be located along S. 161 Street (Powell Road). The business park will be developed in
phases. Phase 1, Section 1, will be developed to the west of Powell Road just south of the Former Boncosky Trucking
Terminal at 1706 S. 16th Street.
City Council previously approved the General Plan and Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU 05-003 for Port
Crossing (formerly Texas Import/Export Park). The property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD). The
development is further defined by a Development Agreement between the owner/agent and the City of La Porte.
Development Agreement, Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs) are part of this SCUP. The area is
earmarked for industrial uses in the Land Use Plan. The permitted land uses for this Planned Unit Development are
generally depicted by the land use restrictions as an exhibit to this SCUP.
The property is located in the vicinity of major industrial developments, Bayport Industrial District, Bayshore
Industrial, Inc. and located between State Highway 146 and Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). Public infrastructure is
available in the vicinity, however, it needs to be improved and extended for the overall business park as prescribed by
the Development Agreement. Coordination with Harris County, Harris County Flood Control District, and TxDOT
shall be required in this regard. Final Plat for Port Crossing with construction drawings and covenants, conditions, &
restrictions for the proposed park will require approval by the City.
As there is general development activity in this area, the building permit for Phase I, Section I (Frontier's Building)
has already been issued. Staff reviewed the development proposal and presented it to the Commission. The
Commission considered Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP) with the understanding that the Final Plat,
Construction Drawings, Development Agreement, and Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CCRs) contained therein
shall be approved by the City first and that the SCUP shall not go into effect until all elements are considered by the
Commission and approved by the City. The Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU 06-003 is recommended for
approval with the following conditions:
1. This SCUP does not go into effect until the Development Agreement, and all other supporting documents are
considered by the Commission & approved by the City.
2. This SCUP is not applicable to any other specific development anticipated or proposed by the 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, General Plan, and the 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.
Action Required bv Council:
1. Conduct public hearing.
2. Consider taking action on recommendation for approval by P&Z for Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU06-003.

W. P. Harris Survey, A-30; Johnson Hunter Survey, A-35, City of La Porte,
Harris County, Texas. The property is located in the 2000 Block of South
16th Street (Powell Road).
Planned Unit Development (PUD)
BusinesslIndustrial
Port Crossing, formerly Texas ImportlExport Park is a proposed industrial,
commercial and retail development to be located in an area south of
Fairmont Parkway along S. 16th Street between the existing Union Pacific
Railroad (UPRR) and the State Highway 146 South.
As a part of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) development process, a
Special Conditional Use Permit (#SCU05-003) and a General Plan covering
the La Porte 81 Ltd., La Porte 82 Ltd., La Porte 115 Ltd., and La Porte 146
Venture, LP., were approved by City Council on March 28,2005. Later, the
applicant requested a I-year extension of this Special Conditional Use
Permit, which was granted at the Planning and Zoning Commission's
meeting on February 16,2006.
The applicant is currently proceeding with the platting of the entire
project. This is the first step towards the planning and development of a
large scale project. The developer's intent is to develop the entire tract in
accordance with the applicable Special Conditional Use Permit and
General Plan approved by the City. Earlier, the applicant/developer
submitted a Preliminary Plat for Port Crossing Business Park, which was
approved by the Commission on May 25, 2006, meeting.
Under the terms of Development Ordinance 1444, the proposed
development is considered to be a major subdivision. The Development
Ordinance requires a two-stage approval process for major subdivisions.
The first stage is preliminary plat review and its formal approval followed
by submittal of a final plat, along with the construction drawings and other
SCU06-003
Ju120,2006
Page 2 of3
applicable documents. Once the final plat is approved, the applicant will
proceed for the site development.
Analvsis:
Owner/Developer plans to develop the tract for business/industrial uses. The
developer will construct street and the storm drainage/detention system that
will ultimately connect with the regional systems in accordance with the
policies of the City and Harris County Flood Control District.
Land Use - The General Plan contains general information regarding the
development of approximately 300::l:: acre site. The Plan's significant
features include contemplated land uses, open space and storm water
detention areas, landscape and buffer areas and roadway network. Currently,
this development is shown on restricted Reserve 'B' with underlying land
uses as Business Industrial (BI), located along South 16th Street and
proposed Export Drive to the east of Powell Road.
The Developer's Agreement defmes the land uses that are acceptable within
various tracts of this development. In Reserve 'B', uses permitted in
Business Industrial (BI) zoning districts will be applicable with some
exceptions as stated in the Developer's Agreement.
Landscaping/Open Space - The General Plan shows the relationship of
landscape/open space and also demonstrates how the trail system, open
space, and the storm water detention system are interrelated. The City may
elect to accept these facilities depending on the final design of the project.
Buffering and beautification is also addressed in the Developer's Agreement.
In addition, landscaping will be provided within building setback areas and
easements throughout the project. Staff is anticipating that a consistent
theme and design criteria shall be implemented throughout this development.
Transportationffraffic Control Plan - Truck traffic is typically associated
with this type of commercial and industrial development. The developer has
submitted traffic analysis plan. The first two projects projected to be
completed are the Frontier and this Building B-5. The proposed project
includes the construction of Export Drive (60'ROW), which will allow
access to these facilities with minimal traffic on S. 16th Street (Powell Road).
These projects would add approximately 80 to 120 trucks per day. The
development agreement contemplates that all trucks will enter and leave the
site via State Highway 146 and Wharton Weems Boulevard and no trucks
will proceed north along S. 16th Street (Powell Road) to Fairmont Parkway.
It is anticipated that most of the traffic will use State Highway 146 Frontage
SCU06-003
Ju120,2006

Conclusion &
Recommendation:
Utilities, Drainage - The water system has a planned upgrade to provide
suitable fire protection. Existing 8" waterline is located on the west side of
the Powell Road right-of-way (ROW) and ends near the northeast comer of
Section 1, Phase I. A future 12" water line extension will serve the property
with domestic and fire service. Sanitary sewer service would be provided
through the existing 12" sanitary sewer line located to the northeast of the
development along Powell Road. Storm water facilities will be designed in
accordance with the City of La Porte and Harris County Flood Control
District requirements. The design of the storm water detention basin will be
reviewed with the site plan submittal and construction drawings.
The subject property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD). Any
development in a PUD zoning district requires a general plan along with a
Special Conditional Use Permit. The General Plan and Developer's
Agreement are the umbrella documents for this development. This proposed
project, therefore, cannot be considered in isolation of the principal
documents. Given that construction drawings for the entire park, the
Developer's Agreement, Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs)
are under review at this time, this SCUP does not go into effect until all
elements and supporting documents contained therein are submitted 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 elements and supporting
documents contained therein are submitted to the Commission and
approved by the City.
2. This SCUP is not applicable to any other 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 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.

Failure to begin construction within 12 months after issuance or as scheduled under the terms of a special
conditional use permit shall void the permit as approved, except upon an extension of time granted after
application to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
If construction is terminated after completion of any stage and there is ample evidence that further development is
not contemplated, the ordinance establishing such special conditional use permit may be rescinded by the City
Council, upon its own motion or upon the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of La
Porte, and the previous zoning of the entire tract shall be in full effect on the portion which is undeveloped.

20.22 acre tract out of 206.990 acres of land in the Enoch Brinson
Survey, Abstract 5, described as parcel 1 under the Harris County
Clerk's File No. M032856, La Porte, Harris County, Texas.
Old Underwood Road and State Highway 225
Planned Unit Development (PUD)
Distribution Center
A business park site consisting of approximately 207 acres located to
the south of State Highway 225 and the Battleground Industrial Park
located along Old Underwood Road. Underwood Business Park is an
approved business/industrial complex located within the Planned Unit
Development (PUD) zone along Old Underwood Road. At this time,
the developer is proposing a distribution center consisting of 225,000
sq. ft. on a parcel of land being all of Reserve B in the Underwood
Business Park. The facility will have an entrance along Porter Road, a
60' wide ingress/egress and utility easement within the park off Old
Underwood Road, access through Battleground Road and State
Highway 225.
The subject property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Development in a PUD zoning district requires an application for a
general plan be filed and processed simultaneously with the Special
Conditional Use Permit.
Section 106-659 of the Code of Ordinances establishes the following
criteria for review ofthe development-projects within a PUD zone.
Land Use - The City's Land Use Plan shows this area developing with
industrial uses. The existing land uses of nearby properties are
predominantly industrial. The Battleground Industrial Park is located
just north of this development. In addition, the Battleground Industrial
District - Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of La Porte is located
north of State Highway 225.
Transportation - The project is located near State Highway 225 and
Battleground Road, a primary arterial and major truck route. As a

Conclusion/
Recommendation
result, this project provides more than adequate accessibility for
circulation of traffic. All traffic entering/existing will be through Porter
Road along Old Underwood Road. There should be very limited impact
on traffic flow within the vicinity, even after full implementation of the
said business park. In addition, the traffic shall not be directed south of
Underwood Road as per plan submitted by the developer.
Topography - This area is relatively flat and stable and should not be
an obstacle to this type of development.
Utilities and Drainage - Public facilities and services are sufficient to
handle the supply of potable water, but require upgrading for fire
protection in the area. In addition, provisions must be made to ensure
sufficient utility extensions are provided to serve this development.
Storm water drainage will be managed by on-site detention to mitigate
any adverse impacts associated with this proposed development.
Staff feels that the project has potential and would make a significant
impact on economic development within the City of La Porte. Based
on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of the General Plan
and Special Conditional Use Permit with the following conditions:
· This Special Conditional Use Permit is not applicable to any other
specific development anticipated or proposed by the General Plan.
· 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 General Plan shall
require further submittal and approval of plats, site plans,
construction drawings, engineering analysis, covenants, etc.
· Provide on-site improvements, loading and unloading ramps/bays
that adequately handle the volume associated with this office/
warehousing facility.
· Fire truck access, fire suppression requirements, and fire hydrant
placement shall be specified on the plans.

. A site plan and/or separate plans shall be submitted in conjunction
with the building permit application. Landscaping is required in
percentages specified in Section 106-522 of the Code of Ordinances.
. Provide an irrigation system to ensure that all landscaping and
screening is properly maintained by the owner/developer.
· The Developer shall comply with all other applicable laws and
ordinances of the City of La Porte and the State of Texas.
Options available to the Commission are:
. Recommend to Council approval of this SCUP with additional
conditions.
· Recommend to Council denial of this SCUP.
· 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.
