SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The Planning & Zoning Commission, during their March 24, 2010, meeting, held a public hearing to receive public input
regarding Rezone Request #R10-003. The request is to have the property rezoned from Business Industrial (BI) and
Heavy Industrial (HI) to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The property is located east of Bay Area Boulevard and west
of Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and north of Fairmont Parkway.
The subject property is owned by PPG. There is an existing Centerpoint Energy substation within the subject tract. Harris
County has proposed a regional detention for Sens Road widening project in this area adjacent to Harris County Flood Control
District channel (A104-07).
The tract in question is within the vicinity of major commercial and industrial facilities in the Bayport Industrial District
just south of Fairmont Parkway. In addition, it is closely located near the bridge over Union Pacific Railroad on Fairmont
Parkway and existing PPG Facility located along 16`h Street. The City's Land Use Map shows underlying land uses as
commercial/industrial.
A Planned Unit Development (PUD) zone might be considered a viable option as it will provide the City more control on the
future land use and provide an opportunity for Council to review a defined project followed by a Special Conditional Use
Permit. The requested change conforms to the zoning and uses of nearby properties.
As required by Ordinance, notices of the public hearing were mailed to thirteen property owners within 200' of the subject
site. No response was received from the mailout. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by unanimous vote,
recommends City Council approve Rezone Request #R10-003.
Action Required by Council:
public hearing.
taking action on a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission to approve Rezone Request
3, for the property located north of Fairmont Parkway, from BI and HI to PUD.
