Hal Lawler Chairman Planning and Zoning Commission Major Development Site Plan Port Modal Centre 1400 State Highway 146 North Exhibits A. Staff Report B. Site Plan Staff Report Major Development Site Plan June 21, 2011 Port Modal Centre Requested By: Christopher P. Brissette, P.E. c/o Clay Development & Construction, Inc. Requested For: 14.8252 acres being TR 27 of Block 27, TR 28 of Block 28, Nebraska Syndicate and TR 3, being situated in the Enoch Brinson Survey, Abstract 5 Volume 65, Page 175, H.C.D.R., LaPorte, Harris County, Texas. Location: 1400 State Highway 146 North Land Use Map: Commercial Industrial Uses Requested Use: Office Warehouse -rail served Present Zoning: Planned Unit Development (PUD) Background: Applicant is proposing a 292,500 sq.ft. office/warehouse & distribution center along feeder road of State Highway 146 North. The subject property is located to the east of State Highway 146 frontage road (formerly loth Street), west of 8th Street (unimproved right-of-way) north of `L' Street (now Harris County Flood Control drainage channel), and south of Union Pacific Railroad (formerly Southern Pacific). Analysis: Proposed site is located closely to the Barbour's Cut Terminal and Bayport Expansion Terminal, two primary container terminals for the Port of Houston Authority (POHA) in the southeast Harris County. In addition, the property is within the vicinity of commercial and industrial facilities in the area near upper Galveston Bay. Under the terms of Development Ordinance 1444, the proposed development will require a major development site plan. This is based on the size of the development being in excess of 10 acres. Land Use - The City's Land Use Plan indicates this area developing with commercial industrial uses. Previous use of the property as RV/Trailer Park was considered to be pre-existing and nonconforming. Trailer park is now abandoned and land has been cleared of all structures. Current owner is proposing a rail -served office warehouse facility at this site. Port Modal Centre Site Plan Page 2 of 3 Transportation - The property in question has approximately 1000 feet of frontage along the State Highway 146 North feeder road, which should accommodate traffic generated by future development. Two pints of access along frontage road should help prevent traffic delays and disperse the impact of additional traffic on the roadways. In addition, railroad transportation will be available to this facility to the north. Highway Corridor Standards — One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to include consideration of landscaping, additional setbacks, visual attractiveness and the preservation of green spaces along the major highway corridors. The subj ect property is located near the entrance gateway to La Porte. Future development in this area should enhance the entrance corridor to the City to establish a regional identity. Special Use Performance Standards — Exterior building design standards of 100% masonry/glass products shall be applicable to proposed project along major thoroughfare. With a Planned Unit Development district, building setbacks, lot coverage, and facade requirements will have positive aesthetic impacts at the entrance corridor to La Porte. Having said parameters in place, proposed development will not negatively impact the corridor enhancement plans for State Highway 225 and State Highway 146. Utilities and Drainage — Currently, the site has sufficient water and sewer facilities to serve this development. It will be the applicant's responsibility to provide any structures or improvements necessary to accommodate increased demand of water and sanitary sewer for proposed development. Abandonment of underlying utilities was an issue which has been resolved. A 12" water line and 6" sanitary sewer force main relocation work is completed at site. Stormwater management and drainage issues have been reviewed with the site development plan. The subject site abuts F 101 channel to the east and south. Harris County Express Review and TxDOT approval are granted for the driveways along State Highway 146. North 8Ih Street Closing/Abandonment — Application for the closing and abandonment of North 8th Street is being processed and appraisal is underway. Once administratively complete, it will be submitted for City Council's final action and will be incorporated into the plat. Economic Development — The proposed project represents a significant positive impact to economic development within the City of LaPorte. The site will be developed as office/warehousing and distribution center. Ultimately, the development is estimated to have a very positive impact on both the City and school district in terms of property tax revenues. Port Modal Centre Site Plan Page 3 of 3 Conclusion/ Recommendation: Staff has reviewed the major development site plan for the Port Modal Center and found it complies with the Development Ordinance. The site plan is recommended for approval with the condition: • Stormwater permit with permanent control features shall be required prior to the issuance of building permit. Options available to the Commission are as follows: • Approve the Major Development Site Plan as filed; • Conditionally approve the Major Development Site Plan as filed, provided, the reasons for such conditional approval are stated in writing and a copy of the statement is signed by the Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission. • Disapprove the Major Development Site Plan as filed, provided, the reasons for such disapproval are stated in writing and a copy of the statement is signed by the Chairman of the Planning and zoning Commission. --- — �s o= rILLaW a — ijs 4 — ---— � /_RR8 —---—--—-----— ------------ ---------- - k --- �z£n Rlaa h � dNawad o� o / 'i I�5 h, I i Ii aoc s£ I r oko 6�0 'I I III N � h i a a I 00o m m I ,II I \p o I i I � F I o o PIS j 66_eq� I, I I IIII oil e. os�e o a.E.s �I Ilo tl I S I arli a olll F ro Iry =1 � b I w I C c� _ 3mmZ mE 2 rc Z �I h IL II El� CD ale N w o >£ El- � 0 I w^ "saa¢-- i IIII, o- I �I F �o¢o aoED .. 18 , l ' 4 o t /I am \ N_ I I z aLL llo�l SiJVJ 19 ili 1-1q M . - - __ ________ _] _ __ 00-00-IOTA LlKfl _____ H- I I I,I i I o � I F. lovl c I of " I Toe L � V�. �'J IV I � I I I orvv�ae �aa�.s »rrrvw / I du I IAlaa 113dONO3 dodd l / ali of �_ oa I� of � I i o N' f ��9 Tf3dJN� load 3 NdNl a e d - I a w 0 I w ww a V�o w� w.. a � F dWtld NJ fld1 II I I � Q' PS J tf/ 9�y C• � II III I rl � W 0 w �z s �s o i lsi r = a z- o, I IY f I 0 O I, c -- \ SdVJ ,S9 8 ++++---+ Stl�tlJ ,59 — 8� SdVJ '99 — SdVJ S9l� Concrete &Asphalt Streets (Cost Estimates) Staff Report Concrete & Asphalt Streets (Cost Comparison) June 21, 2011 At the March 17, 2011 meeting, the Commission held a workshop to review the City's official truck route map and discuss possible additions of new truck routes along South 16th Street north and south of Fairmont Parkway (see map attached). The Commission directed staff to prepare cost estimates and furnish a cost benefit analysis for the reconstruction of those streets both concrete & asphalt. Staff has calculated projected value of developed and undeveloped properties along these rights -of -way, which is as follows: Developed: Total Property HCAD Value Average Assessed value Undeveloped: Total Property HCAD Value Average Assessed Value 1,405,600 S.F. or 32 acres $8,966,650.00 $6.37 per s.f. 844,700 S.F. or 20 acres $497,054.00 $1.70 per s.f. The Engineering Division has prepared cost estimates for those streets (Exhibit A). Staff has calculated projected revenues of $34,586 per year based on the HCAD appraised value of developed and undeveloped properties along these rights -of -way (Exhibit B). The schedule of costs and benefits for the project is as follows: Construction Cost for Concrete Pavement (50-year life time) Construction Cost for Asphalt Pavement (1 time construction cost + resurface every 7 years) $694,672.44 $694,672=34,586 = 20 years to payoff w/o interest $1,063,764.12 $1,063,764=34,586 = 30 years to payoff w/o interest Planning & Zoning Commission June 21, 2011 Page 2 of 2 Cost Benefit Analysis: Based on the current and projected revenues, value of developed and undeveloped properties as of now is $4,871,581. The City of La Porte's taxes equal $34,586. Future values and taxes, assuming full developed properties, equal $9,423,701 and $66,906 respectively. Assuming lifespan of concrete improvements over 50-years, the annualized cost benefit ratio for concrete at full development is 13,893/66,906 = 0.207 Assuming lifespan of asphalt over 49 years, the annualized cost benefit ratio for asphalt at full development is 21,709/66,906 = 0.324 Preliminary Construction Cost Estimate Proposed Truck Routes April 3, 2011 Qty Unit Unit Cost Cost West M Street
