SUMMARY
On August 17,2006, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU06-006
for an overall development of Port Crossing in conjunction with the Development Agreement, Covenants, Conditions
and Restrictions (CCRs). Port Crossing is a mixed commerciaUretail and business/industrial park, to be located along
S. 16th Street (Powell Road). The business park will be developed in phases.
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. 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. The City of La Porte, Harris County, Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD), and TxDOT must
approve the construction plans and specifications as per TIRZ No.l!Redevelopment Authority Reimbursement
Agreement. In addition, Final Plat for Port Crossing, covenants, conditions, and restrictions for the proposed park
require approval by the City. Once the Final Plat is approved by the City, owner/developer shall file for record the
covenants, conditions, and restrictions referred to and a part of the Development Agreement.
The Commission considered Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP) with the stipulation that the Final Plat,
Construction Drawings, Development Agreement, and Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CCRs) contained therein
shall be approved by the City and other entities. In addition, this SCUP will supersede SCU#05-003 and shall be
applicable for an overall development in conjunction with the Development Agreement and CCRs.
Public Notices were mailed to six (6) property owners. One response was received. By unanimous vote, the Planning and
Zoning Commission has recommended City Council consider approval of Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU 06-006
with the conditions as listed in the SCUP.
Action Required bv Council:
1. Conduct public hearing.
2. Consider action on a recommendation by P&Z to approve Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU06-006; or table for
further consideration.

Exhibit "D". These protective covenants and deed restrictions will apply to and be binding upon
the Tract, and shall be in form substantially similar to Exhibit "D". The covenants and deed
restrictions shall be approved by the City and shall be recorded concurrently with each recorded
plat.
ARTICLE IV. TERMINATION
4.1 Term. This Agreement shall have a term commencing on the date fIrst written above,
and continuing until the date in which all portions of the Tract have been platted and developed
(with construction of all streets and utilities on the Tract as reflected by the Plat completed or
installed and fInanced by the Owner-Developer.
Failure of Owner-Developer to begin construction in accordance with the Special Conditional
Use Permit within one year after issuance of said permit, or as scheduled under the terms of the
Special Conditional Use Permit, shall terminate this Agreement. Owner-Developer may, before
the expiration of one year, request an extension of time from the Planning and Zoning
Commission, in the event that construction has not started in accordance with the Special
Conditional Use Permit.
ARTICLE V. OPEN SPACE/TRAIL, BUFFERING AND BEAUTIFICATION
5.1 Open Space/Pedestrian Trail System. The Owner-Developer shall provide common
open space as shown in Comprehensive Plan and the General Plan, including any required
portion of planned City trail system within the project consisting of public sidewalks within the
rights-of-way noted on the Plat on at least one side of each street, together with landscaping
adjacent to such sidewalks pursuant to the landscape plan approved by the City. Owner-
Developer also will cooperate with any additional trail system plan on property dedicated to the
City in fee or as an easement within the drainage easement and/or detention pond/drainage
system shown on the General Plan.
It is recognized that, until the fInal design of the detention pond/drainage system is approved, the
exact location and dimensions of these facilities is unknown. When the fInal design is approved
the City will evaluate the potential for use of these areas as public recreation amenities.
At that time and with mutual consent, the City may elect to accept these facilities either in
easement or fee. The initial development of the detention pond/drainage system and perimeter
landscaping of these facilities shall be the responsibility of the Owner - Developer. In
coordination with the Owner-Developer and the Harris County Flood Control District, the City
will accept the drainage and detention facilities as public domain with right of entry,
H-FinalDevelopmentAgreement(622174_3).DOC - 3-
Maintenance of said facilities will rest solely with the Owner-Developer and the property
owner's association governing the Tract.
5.2 Buffering and Beautification. The Owner-Developer shall implement a uniform and/or
compatible landscape plan for all phases of the entire project that will address landscaping

building setbacks and landscape easements or reserves throughout. A Landscape Buffer (a
minimum of 50' wide) shall be provided along the west side of Powell Road and shall include
extensive screening-type vegetation. A landscape buffer, a minimum of 50' wide, will also be
provided along State Highway 146. Landscape reserves shall also be included adjacent to all
roadways, including the east side of Powell; but rather than screen, shall be landscaped
compatible with the ultimate use of that adjacent property.
5.3 Sign age. The Owner-Developer shall implement a sign standards policy, as part of the
Declaration of Restrictive Covenants (Exhibit "D") consistent with the City's Code of
Ordinances as guidance to insure effective and uniform signage is employed throughout the
project. This policy will include uniform and/or compatible project identification monuments,
business signage, street and other traffic directional devices conforming to the Tract's traffic
control plan and deed restrictions.
5.4 Ownership and Maintenance. Ownership of the landscape buffers, reserves and
easements will be held by fee ownership of adjoining property or by the Property Owners
Association (POA), subject to conditions of the deed restrictions and landscape plan. The
maintenance of the buffers, reserves and easements will be the responsibility of the contiguous
property owners pursuant to provisions of the deed restrictions, enforced by the POA.
The Open Space/Pedestrian Trail System shall be constructed within the drainage easements, the
detention pond/drainage system, landscape reserves, or public right-of-ways as dictated by the
final detention design. Ownership and maintenance of the Open Space/Pedestrian Trail System
and drainage/detention pond system shall be determined according to Article 5.1 of this
Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII. TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN
8.1.1 Traffic Control Plan. The Owner-Developer has established a Traffic Control Plan
(shown on the attached Exhibit "E") for the entire project to regulate to the extent practical
project-generated vehicular traffic. In Section One, based on the target market use, the Traffic
Control Plan will include designated truck routes to and from the site, segregation of automobile
traffic, limitation of access from public streets (driveways) and utilization of common cross
easements between tracts for internal circulation.
8.2 Truck Traffic. This controlled traffic will ultimately be directed to State Highway 146
via Powell Road to Wharton Weems Blvd., to standards approved by Harris County as shown on
Exhibit "B" - General Plan. Project driveways will be constructed to induce proper directional
movement to preempt to the extent practical northbound traffic on Powell Road. This will be
complemented by traffic signage as appropriate. In addition, Owner-Developer shall employ
routing plans, driver instruction, and other controls as necessary to obtain compliance of carriers,
employees, and regular contractors or service vendors.
8.3 Driveway Access. The Owner-Developer shall establish driveway access controls that
shall be controlled through restrictive covenants, architectural controls and City Site Plan review.
This will include conditions and design standards consistent as to size, but fewer in number as
established in TxDOT Driveway Manual, Harris County, Texas, and the City Zoning Code (106-
835) pursuant to specific site plan review. Unless otherwise approved during review of
H-Final Development Agreement(622174_3).DOC - 5 -
preliminary plats and the Plat, driveways along SH 146 entering this Tract shall be limited to a
total of eighteen (18), but in all cases, each individual reserve with frontage on SH 146 shall have
at least one opening. Provision shall be made, where practical, for internal cross-access
easements to maximize ingress, egress and circulation to minimize congestion on public rights-
of-way and to encourage traffic to be directed to Wharton Weems Blvd. interchange.
8.4 Transportation Issues The Developer shall continue to work with the City, Harris
County and other public and private sector interests to implement the timely study and/or
construction of transportation components.
ARTICLE IX. SITE RAIL TRAFFIC
9.1 Site Rail Traffic. The Other Owners and/or Rail Logix, LP ("'Rail Logix"), a Texas
limited partnership, an affiliate of one of the partners of Owner-Developer, as applicable, will
continue to work with City and such parties' rail consultants, as evidence of the commitment to
the City to improve rail efficiency in the area, reduce conflicts at Fairmont Parkway, and
potentially decrease current rail impacts. On-site rail facilities and operations shall be controlled
by Rail Logix in order to maximize rail efficiency and minimize peak hour conflicts with
vehicular traffic at Fairmont Parkway. Owner - Developer, Other Owners and Rail Logix agree
and acknowledge that the rail yard as depicted on the General Plan shall be limited to a

sprinklered fire protection with a loop connection to the 16" main on the east side of S.H. 146
and a gravity wastewater disposal system that flows into a 60" trunk line on "K" street south of
Fairmont Parkway.
The Developer will provide a drainage study for the Tract. The study and design of drainage
improvements shall meet the requirements and approval of the City and Harris County Flood
Control District. Owner-Developer's representative agrees to meet with City, prior to design of
public utilities, to discuss design criteria standards and policies. City shall approve all
construction plans and specifications for public improvements in accordance with the applicable
Public Improvement Criteria Manual.
ARTICLE XI. BUILDING LINES
11.1 Building Lines. The Owner-Developer shall establish building lines appropriate to the

along Powell Road. Similarly, along State Highway 146, a 50-foot landscape buffer and
H-Final Development Agreement(622 I 74_3).DOC - 6 -
building line shall be maintained. These respective 50- foot landscape buffers shall be kept free
from all other uses with the exception of signage, drainage and detention improvements, and
approved drives, parking and entrances. Owner- Developer agrees that other building lines will

A. Plan for Development. The plan for the development of the Subject Property
contemplates the centralization of architectural control to enhance, insure and protect the attractiveness,
beauty and desirability of the Subject Property as a whole. It is accordingly covenanted and agreed that

Subject Property to be drained in a manner so that no standing water remains for any extended period of
time following any precipitation and the Subject Property does not become a breeding ground for
mosquitoes. All references in this Article 2 and in Article 3 hereafter made to the Board shall refer to the
Developer prior to the Transfer Date and thereafter to the Board. In the event that the Board fails or
refuses to approve or disapprove such design or location within thirty (30) days after the Plans have been
submitted to it, it will be deemed that the Board has approved such Plans. In the event of damage or
destruction of any Improvement, approval shall be granted by the Board for the restoration of
Improvements if the Improvement is to be restored in substantial accordance with the original approved
Plans. If the Improvements will not be restored in accordance with the original approved Plans, then the
Plans for such restoration shall be subject to approval in the same manner as the original Improvements
to the Tract. All decisions of the Board shall be final, conclusive and binding and there shall be no review
of any action of the Board.
B. No Representation or Warranty; Limitation of Liability. No approval of Plans shall ever be
construed as representing or implying that such Plans will, if followed, result in a properly constructed
structure complying with all applicable legal requirements or built in a good and workmanlike manner or
be deemed approval of the Improvement from the standpoint of safety, whether structural or otherwise.
Neither the Developer, the Association, nor any members of the Board shall be liable in damages to
anyone submitting Plans for approval, or to any Owner or occupant of any part of the Subject Property
affected by this Declaration, by reason of or in connection with the approval or disapproval or failure to
approve any Plans submitted. Every person who submits Plans for approval agrees, by submission of
such Plans, and every Owner or occupant of any portion of the Subject Property involved herein agrees,
by acquiring title thereto or any interest therein, that such person will not bring any action or suit against
the Developer, the Association, or any of the members of the Board to recover any such damages.
C. Inspection of Improvements. The Board or its duly authorized representative, as well as
the City of LaPorte ("City"), shall have the right, but not the obligation, to inspect any Improvements to a
Tract prior to or after completion of any Improvements.
D. Notice of Completion. Promptly upon completion of any Improvements, Owner shall
deliver a notice of completion ("Notice of Completion") to the Board and the City and, for all purposes
hereunder, the date of receipt of such Notice of Completion by the Board shall be deemed to be the date
of completion of such Improvements, provided that the Improvements are, in fact, completed as of the
date of receipt of the Notice of Completion.
E. Notice of Non-Compliance. If, as a result of inspections or otherwise, the Board and/or
the City finds that any Improvement has been constructed or undertaken without obtaining the approval of
the Board and/or the City, or has been completed other than in substantial conformity with the Plans
furnished by the Owner to and approved by the Board and/or the City, as applicable, or has not been
completed within a reasonable period of time (as agreed upon by the Board and/or the City, or, if no
agreement, as determined by the Board and/or the City, in its sole good faith discretion) after the date of
approval by the Board and/or the City (as determined by the Board and/or the City), subject to delays due
to "Force Majeure" (hereafter defined) causes, the Board and/or the City shall notify the Owner and the
City or the Board, as applicable, in writing of the noncompliance, which notice (the "Notice of
Noncompliance") shall be given, in any event, within sixty (60) days after the Board and the City receive a
Notice of Completion from the Owner. The Notice of Noncompliance shall specify the particulars of the
noncompliance and shall require the Owner to take such action as may be reasonably necessary to
remedy the noncompliance. The Notice of Noncompliance may be filed in the public records and the cost
of preparing and filing the same and the release thereof shall be paid by such Owner.

F. No Waiver or Estoppel. No action or failure to act by the Board shall constitute a waiver
or estoppel with respect to future action by the Board.
G. Variances. The Board may authorize variances from compliance with any of the
provisions of this Declaration, including restrictions upon height, size, floor area or placement of
structures within set-back lines established by this Declaration, on a plat (or plats) of the Subject Property,
parking requirements, or similar restrictions, when circumstances such as topography, natural
obstructions, hardship, aesthetic or environmental considerations may require or when such variance
would result in a more common beneficial and/or efficient use and not detract from the overall
development plan for the Subject Property as determined by the Board. Such variances must be
evidenced in writing and shall become effective when signed by a majority of the members of the Board.
The granting of a variance in one instance shall not require the Board to grant a similar variance for
another portion of the Subject Property. If any such variance is granted, no violation of the provisions of
this Declaration shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to the matter for which the variance was
granted; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE GRANTING OF A VARIANCE SHALL NOT OPERATE TO
WAIVE ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS DECLARATION FOR ANY PURPOSE EXCEPT AS TO
THE PARTICULAR TRACT AND PARTICULAR PROVISION HEREOF COVERED BY THE VARIANCE,
NOR SHALL THE GRANTING OF A VARIANCE AFFECT IN ANY WAY THE OWNER'S OBLIGATION
TO COMPL YWITH ALL GOVERNMENTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY
CONCERNED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ZONING ORDINANCES OR REQUIREMENTS
IMPOSED BY ANY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION. THE OWNERS
ACKOWLEDGE THAT ONLY THE CITY SHALL BE AUTHORIZED TO GRANT VARIANCES AND
SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS TO THE CITY ZONING ORDINANCE AND GOVERNMENTAL LAND USE
RESTRICTIONS THROUGH THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT. THE BOARD AGREES TO
INFORM THE CITY IN WRITING ("VARIANCE NOTICE") PRIOR TO THE GRANTING OF ANY
VARIANCE REQUEST OF THE ISSUE UNDER CONSIDERATION AND THE PROPOSED ACTION BY
THE BOARD SO THAT THE CITY CAN VERIFY THAT THE PROPOSED VARIANCE, IF GRANTED,
WOULD NOT VIOLATE ANY ZONING ORDINANCES, LAND RESTRICTIONS OR REGULATIONS,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THAT CERTAIN DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT DATED ON OR
ABOUT THE DATE HEREOF BETWEEN DEVELOPER AND THE CITY, AND JOINED IN BY THE
OTHER OWNERS. If the City objects to the granting of the variance, the City shall notify the Board
(through its representative designated in the Variance Notice) within ten (10) business days following the
City's receipt of the Variance Notice. If the City fails or refuses to approve or disapprove the variance
request within such ten (10) day period, the City will be deemed to approve such variance request.

COVENANT FOR MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENTS
A. Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligation of Assessment. The Developer for each
Tract owned within the Subject Property, hereby covenants, and each Owner of any Tract by acceptance
of a deed therefor, whether or not it shall be expressed in any such deed or other conveyance, is
conclusively deemed to covenant and agree as a covenant running with the land to pay to the
Association assessments or charges imposed from time to time by the Board for the purposes set forth in
Section 8.B. below (hereinafter referred to as "Assessments"). The Board shall have the right to adopt
and from time to time revise and amend procedures for the purpose of establishing the Assessments, due
dates, billing and collection of the Assessments, provided that such procedures are not inconsistent with
the provisions hereto. The assessments established by the Board shall commence against the subject
Property on August 1, 2006. The Assessments shall be uniform as to each Tract on a per square foot
basis according to the land area comprising such Tract. If the Assessments have commenced to accrue
against the Owners, then, at the time an Owner takes title to a Tract, the installment for that month shall
be prorated as of the day the Owner takes title. Any Assessments not paid and received within ten (10)
days from the due date shall be deemed delinquent and, without notice, shall bear interest until paid at
fifteen percent (15%) per annum, not to exceed the maximum non-usurious rate allowed by applicable
law. The Board, at its option, may impose and collect late charges on delinquent payments, in addition to
interest, in an amount to compensate the Association for the administrative burden of dealing with the
delinquency.
To secure the payment of the Assessments levied hereunder and any other sums due hereunder
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and costs of collection, interest or late charges), a
vendor's lien and superior title shall be and is hereby reserved, and a contractual lien is hereby created, in
favor of the Association, in and to each Tract and assigned to the Association, which liens shall be
enforceable as hereinafter set forth by the Board or its appointed agent ("Agent") on behalf of the
Association.
Notice of the unpaid amounts, at any time, secured by the liens referred to, reserved by and
created in this Article 8 may, but shall not be required to be given by the recordation in the Real Property
Records of Harris County, Texas of a "Notice of Non-Payment," duly-executed and acknowledged by an
Agent of the Association, setting forth the amount owed, the name of the reputed Owner or Owners of the
affected Tract according to the books and records of the Association, and the legal description of such
Tract. The cost of preparing and filing the Notice of Non-Payment and its release shall be secured by the
lien therefor.
Each Owner, by acceptance of a deed to such Owner's Tract, hereby expressly recognizes the
existence of such liens as being prior to such Owner's ownership of such Tract and hereby vests in the
Board or its Agent the right and power to bring all actions against such Owner or Owners personally for
the collection of such Assessments and other sums due hereunder as a debt, and to enforce the
aforesaid lien by all methods available for the enforcement of such liens, including by judicial and/or
non-judicial foreclosure. Additionally, by acceptance of the deed to such Owner's Tract, each Owner
expressly grants a power of sale such Owner's Tract and all Improvements thereon, and all rights
appurtenant thereto for the purpose of securing the aforesaid Assessments and other sums due
hereunder remaining unpaid by such Owner from time to time. The Agent may be changed at any time by
the Board. In the event of the election by the Board to foreclose the liens herein provided for nonpayment
of sums secured to be paid by such liens, then it shall be the duty of the Agent, as hereinabove provided,
at the request of the Board (which request shall be presumed) to enforce this trust and to sell such Tract
and all Improvements thereon, and all rights appurtenant thereto, at the door of the County Courthouse of
Harris County, Texas (in the area designated by the Commissioner's Court of Harris County, Texas, for
such purpose), on the first Tuesday in any month between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to the
highest bidder for cash after the Agent shall have given notices of the proposed sale in the manner
hereinafter set forth, or as provided by statute, whichever is less burdensome. Following sale, the Agent
shall make due conveyance of the Tract and all Improvements thereon to the purchaser or purchasers,
H-Final Version of Declaration of Protective Covenants and Easements(620880_ 4).DOC 11
and may, but shall not be required to, give a general warranty of title to such purchaser or purchasers
binding upon the Owner or Owners of such Tract and all Improvements thereon and their heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns. The Agent shall give notice of such proposed sale by posting a
written notice of time, place and terms of the sale for at least twenty-one (21) consecutive days preceding
the date of sale at the Courthouse door of Harris County, Texas, by filing such notice with the County
Clerk of Harris County, Texas, at least twenty-one (21) consecutive days preceding the date of sale, and,
in addition, the Agent shall serve written notice at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of sale by
certified mail on each debtor obligated to pay the debt according to the records of the Association of such
sale and the notice thereof shall comply with the provisions of Section 51.002 ofthe Texas Property Code,
as it may be amended from time to time. Service of such notice shall be completed upon deposit of the
notice in the United States mail, properly addressed to such debtor obligated to pay the debt at the most
recent address as shown by the records of the Association. The affidavit of any person having knowledge
of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of such
service. If any change in Texas law occurs subsequent to the date hereof, this paragraph A of Article 8
shall be amended to comply with such change in Texas law.
At any foreclosure, judicial or non-judicial, the Association shall be entitled to bid up to the amount
of the sum secured by its lien, together with costs and attorney's fees, and to apply as a cash credit
against its bid all sums due to the Association covered by the lien foreclosed. Out of the proceeds of such
sale, there shall first be paid all expenses incurred by the Association in connection with such sale,
including reasonable attorneys' fee and reasonable trustees' fees; second, from such proceeds there
shall be paid to the Association an amount equal to the amount in default, plus interest thereon; and, third,
the remaining balance shall be paid to such Owner and/or such Owner's mortgagee. From and after any
such foreclosure, the occupants of such Tract shall be required to pay a reasonable rent for the use of
such Tract and such occupancy shall constitute a tenancy-at-sufferance, and the purchaser at such
foreclosure sale shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver to collect such rents and further, shall
be entitled to sue for recovery of possession of such Tract by forcible detainer without further notice.
B. Purpose of Assessments. The Assessments levied by the Board shall be used exclusively
for the purpose of: (i) the operating costs and expenses of the Association; (ii) the payment of all
organization costs and attorney fees incurred by the Association in connection with the enforcement of
this Declaration, including, without limitation, enforcement of parking restrictions; (iii) the maintenance,
replacement and repair of any Private Streets and any Improvements located within the Private Streets
(but not the initial construction of the Private Streets); (iv) the establishment and maintenance of capital
and operating reserves that the Board determines to be necessary and desirable; (v) the payment of any
ad valorem or other taxes due on any property owned by the Association; (vi) the payment of any costs or
expenses incurred with respect to the provision of any facilities and services related to the Private Streets
and other portions of the Subject Property determined to be necessary by the Board; (viii) street lighting,
street sweeping and street maintenance of any private streets in the Subject Property and maintenance of
entry markers, greenbelts, signs, detention ponds, retention areas, esplanades and landscape reserves
and other common areas owned by the Association or dedicated to a governmental entity; (viii) planting,
landscaping, watering, irrigation, mowing, tree surgery and general upkeep and maintenance of plants or
landscaped areas of the common areas owned by the Association; (viii) reimbursement of reasonable and
customary costs and expenses of the Association in connection with its operation and management and
administration of this Declaration (including, but not limited to, common engagement of third party
architects, engineers, attorneys, accountants, managers and other consultants in connection with the
administration of this Declaration) and such other non-capital items of expenses as may be deemed by
the Association, in its discretion and in good faith, to be necessary or desirable for the carrying out of this
Declaration; and (ix) promotion of the recreation, health, and safety (including, without limitation, security
patrols and other security measures if deemed necessary by the Association; provided however, that the
Association shall not be obligated to provide security patrols or other security measures and the provision
of any security measure does not guarantee the safety of any Owners, employees, guests, contractors or
invitees or that the property of any Owner, guest, contractor or invitee will not be damaged, vandalized or
stolen) and the general welfare of the Owners and lessees the Subject Property.
C. Maintenance Fund. The Assessments collected by the Association shall be paid into a
maintenance fund (the "Maintenance Fund") and shall be held, managed, invested and expended by the
H-Final Version of Declaration of Protective Covenants and Easements(620880_ 4).DOC 12
Board, in its sole good faith discretion, for any of the permitted purposes. The Board and the Directors
shall not be liable to any person or entity as a result of any action taken by the Board with respect to the
Maintenance Fund, except for willful misconduct or fraud.
D. Basis of Maximum of Annual Assessments. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph
A of this Article 8 to the contrary, the maximum initial annual Assessment shall be two cents ($0.02) per
square foot of land area in the Subject Property. From and after January 1, of the next succeeding
calendar year following the imposition of the Assessment, the annual Assessment may be increased as
follows:
The Developer may determine and certify that the then current annual Assessment is not
sufficient to meet reasonable expenses of maintaining and enforcing this Declaration and, the Developer
may increase the annual Assessment by an amount which shall not exceed the greater of: (i) 10% or (ii)
an amount equal to the yearly rise in the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics
("BLS"), Consumer Price Index (for All Urban Consumers CPI-U) Houston-Galveston-Brazoria, TX. -All
Items (1982-84 = 100) (the "Index") as of Julyof each year from the preceding July. If, however, the Index
should be discontinued, such calculation shall be made by use of another reputable Index selected by the
Board which is recognized by BLS and is comparable to the Index. Additionally, if the base period of the
Index (currently 1982-84 = 100) is hereby modified, the base period used in making the aforesaid
calculation shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board to reflect such modification and if the Index is
published in such manner that an Index figure is not available each July, then the Index figure published
for the most recent month preceding July shall be used.
The annual Assessment shall not be increased more than once in any calendar year. However,
the right to increase the annual Assessment, as aforesaid, shall be cumulative and in the event the
annual Assessment is not increased to the maximum amount allowed for anyone or more years, then the
Developer shall thereafter have the right to increase any subsequent annual Assessment to an amount
equal to the maximum annual Assessment that would have been chargeable for that year as if the annual
Assessment had been increased by the maximum allowable hereunder for each of such prior years.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions ofthis Paragraph 8.D, in the eventthe Board determines
that it is necessary to increase the annual Assessment more than the amount prescribed by the formula,
the Board, by majority vote, and the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2J3rds) ofthose Owners who are voting
in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for such purpose, may increase the maximum annual
Assessment for the subject calendar year. Once the maximum annual assessment for any calendar year
is increased pursuant to the provisions of this grammatical paragraph, the amount to which it has been
increased shall be the amount used to determine the maximum annual Assessment for the next calendar
year.
E. Subordination of Assessment Lien to Mortgages. The liens securing the Assessments
provided for herein shall be subject and subordinate to (i) all liens for taxes or assessments levied by the
City, County and State Governments or any political subdivision or special district thereof and (ii) the lien
of any duly-recorded first and/or second mortgage lien or first and/or second lien deed of trust upon one
or more Tracts made in good faith and for purchase money or improvements. The sale or transfer of any
Tract shall not affect the assessment lien. However, the sale or transfer of any Tract which is subject to
any first or second mortgage lien, pursuant to a foreclosure of such lien or a conveyance in lieu of
foreclosure, shall extinguish the lien of such assessments as to payments thereof which become due
prior to such sale or transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve the new Owner of such Tract from liability
for any assessment thereafter becoming due according to the terms herein contained or from the lien
thereof.
F. Exempt Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following property
shall be exempt from the payment of assessments: (a) any areas designated as Common Areas by the
Developer and accepted by the Association; and (b) all property dedicated to and accepted by any
governmental authority or public utility.

annual financial report as required by the Texas Nonprofit Corporation Act not later than sixty (60) days

not be members of the Association. The initial Directors of the Association shall be selected by the
Developer. The initial Directors for the Association shall hold office for an initial term of three (3) years

whatsoever (including, without limitation, any mistake in judgment, negligence or nonfeasance arising out
of or in connection with the approval or disapproval or failure to approve any submitted plans), except for
gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Every person who submits any Plans to the Board for
approval as herein provided agrees by submission of such Plans, and every lessee or Owner or person
claiming by or through an Owner or lessee agrees by acquiring title to any Tract or interest in a Tract, that
it will not bring any action or suit against the Association or any director or officer, or anyone or more of
them, their respective agents, employees, members or assigns, to recover any damages as a result
thereof, except for gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
Any Owner of a Tract within the Subject Property shall be a member of the Association, and shall
remain a member for the period of its ownership. Each member of the Association shall be entitled to one
(1) vote for each ten thousand (10,000) sq. ft. of the total square footage of the Tract it owns; provided,
however, that in the event of the expansion of the Subject Property subject to this Declaration, the votes
to which an Owner of land within the Subject Property is entitled shall be revised and adjusted to a ratio
that said number of square feet owned bears to the total number of square feet in the Subject Property, as
expanded. There shall be no fractional votes. No Owner shall be entitled to vote in any election
concerning any action submitted before the Members for their vote during any period in which any such
fees or assessments assessed against such Owner are delinquent or such Owner is otherwise in violation
of this Declaration as to which such Owner has received written notice of such violation.

c/o Russell Plank
Approximately 300 acre tract in the Geo B. McKinstry, A-47; 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)
Industrial, Commercial and Retail
Port Crossing is a proposed industrial, commercial and retail development to
be located in an area south ofFairmont Parkway between the existing Union
Pacific Railroad tracks and State Highway 146 South.
As a part of the PUD development process, the applicant previously
submitted a Special Conditional Use Permit and a General Plan covering the
La Porte 81 Ltd., 82 Ltd., and 115 Ltd., and Daetwyler Enterprises. The
Planning and Zoning Commission initiated a public hearing for the SCUP
and General Plan on July 21, 1998 and concluded that public hearing on
August 20, 1998.
On March 3, 1999, the Commission unanimously recommended approval of
the SCUP, General Plan, and the Development Agreement. On March 15,
1999, City Council approved the General Plan, SCU#98-001, and the
Development Agreement. Only Mr. Stuart Haynsworth, General Partner of
La Porte 81 Ltd., 82 Ltd., and 115 Ltd. executed the agreement with the City.
Daetwyler Enterprises, another partner, did not execute the Development
Agreement. On April 27, 2000, the Commission granted a one (1) year
extension for SCU#98-001.
In February 2002, Mr. Haynsworth initiated a request to re-authorize the
General Plan, Development Agreement and SCUP. The applicant's
request was essentially a repeat of the previously approved SCU#98-00 1 less
the Daetwyler Enterprises properties.
At the May 16, 2002 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission held
a public hearing to re-authorize the General Plan, Development
Agreement and Special Conditional Use Permit SCU#02-002. On June
SCU06-006
August 17, 2006
Page 2 of8
Analysis:
10, 2002, City Council approved General Plan, Development Agreement
and SCU#02-002. Later on, a one year extension was subsequently
granted in June 2003 which expired in June 2004.
Owner/developer submitted another application for Special Conditional
Use Permit SCU#04-011. The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their
meeting on June 17, 2004, held a workshop and discussed the following
Issues:
. Site plan submittal
. Dedication/improvement to Powell Rd.
. Phase I-A development (strip of land contiguous to UPRR
containing two rail lines )
. Phase I development (first warehouse, with rail access)
. Access from Powell Rd. Traffic flow concept for entire project
The outstanding issues were too complex to come to any conclusion at that
time. In addition, the subject property was under litigation. Therefore, the
application was withdrawn.
As a part of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) development process, a
Special Conditional Use Permit SCU#05-003 and General Plan covering the
La Porte 81 Ltd., La Porte 82 Ltd., La Porte 115 Ltd., and La Porte 146
Venture, LP., (c/o Russell Plank) 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 by the Planning and Zoning
Commission at the February 16,2006, meeting.
This is an ongoing project that is to be developed in phases. As the project
proceeds, it shows progress with the new developers. The applicant
submitted a preliminary plat for Phase I, Section 1 consisting of 12.342
acres. The subject plat was approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission at the January 19, 2006, meeting. Later, a Final Plat was
approved at the March 16, 2006, meeting. In addition, a development site
plan has been approved and the building permit was issued by the City.
Section 106-659 of the Code of Ordinances establishes the following criteria
for review of the development projects within a P.D.D. zone.
Land Use - The General Plan contains information regarding the
development of approximately 300:1: 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. The
SCU06-006
August 17, 2006
Page 3 of8
Development Agreement defines the land uses that are acceptable within
various tracts of this development.
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 Development
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.
Transportation/fraffic Control Plan - Truck traffic is typically associated
with this type of commercial and industrial development. The developer has
submitted on traffic analysis plan. 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 Road. However, Export Drive
will reduce the truck traffic on Powell Road by allowing ingress and egress
to and from State Highway 146 from Powell Road.
Utilities - All infrastructures shall be upgraded to provide potable water,
suitable fire protection, sanitary sewer, storm water, and roadways. Storm
water facilities and roadways will be designed in accordance with the City of
La Porte, Harris County, and Harris County Flood Control District
requirements. The design of the site infrastructure will be reviewed with the
site plan submittal and construction drawings in accordance with the Public
Improvement Criteria Manual (PICM).
Recognizing that the project is moving along with the respective
submittals and approval process, Staff and the developer created a
development proposal. All applicable elements of the Comprehensive Plan
are reviewed and incorporated into this development proposal. However,
owner/developer has expressed concerns that present conditions have
mandated changes to the Developer's Agreement associated with
SCU#05-003. Staff and the owner/developer have worked on the
Development Agreement and Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and
Restrictions associated with this development. If approved, Special
Conditional Use Permit SCU#06-006 will supersede Special Conditional
Use Permit SCU#05-003 and shall be applicable for an overall development
in conjunction with the Development Agreement and CCRs.
SCD06-006
August 17, 2006
Page 4 of8
Exhibit D, Development Agreement:
This Development Agreement is entered into between Port Crossing Land,
L.P. and the City of La Porte. Draft Development Agreement is
summarized as follows:
. Article II General Plan (GP) and Land Use - The GP contains general
information regarding the development of the entire 300-acre site. (See
Exhibit "F") The Plan's significant features include contemplated land
uses, open space and storm water detention areas, landscape and buffer
areas and roadway network. Article II also addresses additional land use
restrictions. These are specifically defined in Exhibit "G" which will be
discussed later in this analysis.
. Article III Restrictive Covenants - Restrictive covenants are identified
in Exhibit "H" and are applicable for the overall development of Port
Crossing. Future stages of this PUD development will require fmalizing
and recording covenants with subdivision plats and site plan submittals.
Significant components of the covenants are discussed below.
. Article V Open Spaceffrail, Buffering and Beautification - In this
project, the open space and trail as identified are both consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan. The General Plan shows the relationship of
these features and also demonstrates how the trail system, open space
area, and the stormwater detention system are interrelated. This Article
provides an option where the City may elect to accept these facilities
depending on the final design. Buffering and beautification is also
addressed under Article V. As shown on the General Plan, a 100' wide
landscape buffer is provided along the west side of Powell Road for
Phase 1, Section 1. A 50' wide landscape buffer is provided along State
Highway146. In addition, landscaping will be provided within building
setback areas and easements throughout the project. Ownership of the
landscape buffers, reserves and easements will be held by fee ownership
of adjoining property or by the property owners association. The
maintenance shall be the responsibility of the property owners' pursuant
to provisions of the deed restrictions enforced by the association.
Signage is part of this Article, but is more specifically defined in the
Restrictive Covenants (Exhibit "H"). Staff is requesting that a
consistent theme and design be used for all signs within this
development.
. Article VI Schedule - The schedule identifies the development of
infrastructure and construction of public improvements that will be
needed for this development. As additional phases are proposed,
SCD06-006
August 17,2006
Page 5 of8
staff will review the infrastructure schedule to ensure that adequate
facilities are being constructed to serve the needs of this project.
. Article VIII Traffic Control Plan - Truck traffic is typically
associated with this type of commercial and industrial development.
In an attempt to reasonably control truck traffic, Exhibit "I" is
included to further define how truck traffic will be handled. This
agreement contemplates that all trucks will enter and leave the site
via SH146 and Wharton Weems Blvd. and no trucks will proceed
north along Powell Road to Fairmont Parkway. The use of signs,
driveway design, routing plans, and individual driver instruction will
be used to implement these provisions. This Article also addresses
driveway access. Staff and the developer have attempted to limit the
installation of driveways within this project by implementing shared-
access and cross-access easements. More specific review of this will
occur during site plan and plat review as subsequent phases develop.
The total number of drives along the SH146 feeder road is limited to
18. This assumes that some of the larger tracts will require at least
two drives, while some smaller tracts may not require any drives and
will utilize a shared access.
· Article IX Site Rail Traffic - The developer is committed to
managing on-site rail activities to establish efficient rail car
movements that may decrease conflicts at Fairmont Parkw:ay. Also,
the maximum number of rail lines is established at 22 and no rail
lines will extend to the east side of Powell Road.
· Article X Utilities, Drainage - Staff and the developer agreed that
the water system needs to deliver between 4,000 and 6,000 gallons
per minute to provide suitable fire protection. This may be
accomplished by tapping into the City's existing 16-inch water line
on the east side of State Highwayl46. Sanitary sewer service can be
provided via the City's existing trunk sewer main in the K Street
right-of-way just south of Fairmont Parkway. Stormwater facilities
will be designed in accordance with the City and HCFCD
requirements. Design of stormwater detention basins will
accommodate features of the Open Space/Trail System.
Exhibit "E" Metes and Bounds Description:
This exhibit establishes the overall boundary of this development.
This boundary is shown on the General Plan.
SCU06-006
August 17,2006
Page 6 of8
Exhibit "F" General Plan (GP):
The General Plan basically depicts the ultimate layout of the
development. It identifies future land uses, street alignment, utilities
and drainage, buffer and setback areas.
Exhibit "G" Land Use Exceptions:
The General Plan makes broad references to land use categories.
This exhibit further defines the land uses that are acceptable within
various tracts of this development. Uses currently permitted within
our zoning ordinance are permitted here with some exceptions. In
the Business and Retail (GC) tracts, general contractors, automotive
services, outdoor sales and outdoor storage are not permitted. In the
Office/Warehouse (BI) tracts, general contractors, automotive
services, outdoor sales and outdoor storage, and off-premise signs are
not permitted. In the Light Industrial (Ll) tracts, manufacturing of
chemicals, outside storage including shipping containers, off-premise
signs and a few other uses are not permitted. In Reserve "A" labeled
as RaillW arehouse, the uses permitted in the (Ll) tracts are permitted
here including rail activities. Shipping containers that are in transit
or are being used to deliver material into or out of the project will be
permitted. This use of shipping containers may be incidental to some
permitted uses.
Exhibit "H" Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions:
The Restrictive Covenants document provides initial and long-term
property control in the business park. Through the assessment of
fees, the Property Owner's Association (POA) maintains landscaped
areas, common areas, perimeter fences and open space areas through
out the park. Significant features of this declaration are as follows:
Permitted and Prohibited Uses - The developer will follow the
underlying land uses as depicted on the General Plan. Covenants
provide a list of various uses which will be prohibited. In addition,
the use of any portion of the subject property shall be subject to
zoning ordinances, SIC Code and other laws applicable here.
Architectural Control - Some of the significant property controls
that the Restrictive Covenants provides are in the areas of
architectural design of buildings. The document states that each of
the improvements to be located on the property shall be constructed
with exterior materials of brick, masonry, stone, marble, or
permanently finished concrete and/or glass, or of an equivalent,
permanent, architecturally-finished material to finish grade and no
SCU06-006
August 17, 2006
Page 7 of8
Considerations:
buildings shall be covered with aluminum, iron, steel or other metal
surface.
Landscaping - The developer shall submit landscaping architectural
plans for approval by the City. All open, unpaved space, building
setback areas, and buffers shall be planted and landscaped as per
approved plan. For proper maintenance, a sprinkler system shall also
be installed in all landscaped areas. With regard to landscaping, staff
is only requesting that a uniform design theme be utilized throughout
this project.
Signs - All signs shall be incompliance with the ordinances and
approved by the City. Uniform design and application of signage to
create a unified complex appearance intended.
Property Owner's Association - The administration of the subject
property shall be governed by the Property Owner's Association.
Management, duties and functions of the Association are provided in
detail.
As this development progresses and plats are filed for each section,
the restrictive covenants will be filed for record along with the
subdivision plat.
The Commission must review several considerations:
~ Dedication of the following road rights-of-way should be completed prior to
the final approval:
. Additional 40' of right-of-way along Powell Road parallel to and the
length of Phase I, Section 1 (60'-100' right-of-way total)
. 100' right-of-way for extension of road to State Highway 146 (to
connect with Wharton Weems Boulevard)
. Agreement with the owner/developer to dedicate the southern
extension of Powell Road south once abandonment and construction
issues have been resolved between Harris County, City of La Porte,
and owner/developer.
~ The City of La Porte, Harris County, Harris County Flood Control District,
and TX DOT must approve the construction plans and specification as per
TIRZ# l/Redevelopment Authority Reimbursement Agreement.
~ Once the Final Plat along with public improvement construction plans is
approved by the City, owner/developer files for record the covenants and
restrictions referred to and a part of the Development Agreement.
SCU06-006
August 17, 2006
Page 8 of8
Recommendation:
Recognizing the size and scope of the project and its implications to the
overall economic development in the City is significant. In addition, all
applicable elements of the Comprehensive Plan were initially reviewed
and incorporated into this development. Given that we now see some
forward movement on the development in general, Staff suggests that
Special Conditional Use Permit SCU#06-006, if approved, will supersede
SCU#05-003 and shall be applicable for an overall development in
conjunction with the Development Agreement and CCRs.
Should the Commission wish to approve the SCUP in its present format,
we recommend the following:
1. This SCUP is not applicable to any other specific development
anticipated or proposed by General Plan.
2. 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, and building plans, etc.
3. Said submittals shall be in accordance with this SCUP, the approved
General Plan, the Development Agreement, ordinances and policies of
the City of La Porte and specifically Section 106-216 & 217 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
4. 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.
