Analysis:
General Plan review requires approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission; there is
no review of the document by the City Council required. However, should the
Commission approve the proposed General Plan, it would become an exhibit to the
Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP) application that is being reviewed as Agenda Item
#6 and which recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for final approval. The
General Plan is intended to provide for a conceptual layout of uses and is required for
developments that exceed 10 acres in size.
Should City Council approve the proposed SCUP, the applicant will be required to submit
application for a site development plan in compliance with applicable code
requirements, which will be required to be presented to the Planning and Zoning
Commission for approval. The site plan will be required to comply with all requirements
of Chapter 106, Zoning, including but not limited to
parking, detention, façade design, landscaping, etc. unless a variance is approved by the
Board of Adjustment.
The proposed development includes a mix of land uses on a 40 acre parcel of land. The
uses proposed are laid out in the La Porte Town Center General Plan, included as Exhibit
A. The following is a breakdown of land uses outlined by the applicant in the attached
project description letter:

La Porte Town Center General Plan
62,000 square foot entertainment center
20,000 square foot conference, theater and museum
90,000 square foot retail cluster
50,000 square feet of office space
30,000 square foot Portrait of a Warrior Memorial Art Gallery
14 brownstone townhomes
12 live-work units
72 townhome units
14 brownstone units
114 room hotel
2 acres of park and water features
As part of the SCUP, staff has included a number of conditions related to the proposed
land uses, including limitation on certain uses within the development area. The intent
of the development is to provide retail, restaurant and service uses along with some
brownstone townhouse and live-work units.
In 2007, the city approved a General Plan for the adjacent tracts of land north and south
E). The
development included various phases of single family detached residential
development. The phases developed to this point are the DR Horton Homes
development at the southeast corner of Wharton Weems and Highway 146 and
Bayshore Elementary School at the northeast corner of Mc Cabe and Highway 146.
Although the proposed development is not consistent with the current Future Land Use
Plan (FLUP) as adopted in the Comprehensive Plan, staff has brought forward an
amendment to the FLUP. The city may, from time to time, amend its FLUP. As part of
the SCUP, a condition has been added to ensure compatibility with surrounding land
uses by requiring the construction of an 8-foot high solid masonry fence with
landscaping along the north and south perimeter boundary of the property.
The proposed General Plan shows phasing of the development into three phases. The
first phase includes development of the Family Entertainment Center, hotel, and
commercial pad sites along Highway 146 along with associated detention. Phase II
includes the remainder of the commercial along with a portion of the townhomes and
the live-work units. And finally, the third phase is the rest of the public road and
remaining townhomes.

will be required to enter into a Utility Extension Agreement with the city for extension
of any utility lines.
The subject development is a portion of a future trail system running from Little Cedar
Bayou Park to Bayshore Elementary. The developer will be responsible for construction
of that portion of the hike and bike trail on this property in accordance with city
requirements in terms of location and construction specifications. In order to provide
connectivity between the hike and bike trail and the development, the applicant shall
also provide a trail spur to and through the site.

14 brownstone townhomes
12 live-work units
72 townhome units
14 brownstone units
114 room hotel
2 acres of park and water features
Staff is recommending a number of conditions associated with land use be required as
part of the SCUP:
1. Land uses are permitted in accordance with the La Porte Town Center General
Plan. Any modifications to such plan in the future will require consideration by
the Planning and Zoning Commission.
2. Approval of this SCUP would allow for General Commercial uses in the
commercial area, excluding a number of uses that are more intense than
retail/service/office uses, including automotive related, general contractors, etc.
3. The townhouse development should be constructed in accordance with the
provisions of Section 106-333 of the Code of Ordinances, which outlines general
requirements for townhouse development. Any deviation from these
requirements would require approval of a variance by the Board of Adjustment.
These units would be subject to all applicable building code requirements for fire
rating.
4. Live-work units are a concept intended to provide for businesses on the main
floor and residential above. The live-work units are permitted subject to the
setback requirements outlined for development in the Main Street Overlay
These units would be subject to all applicable building code requirements for fire
rating. Any deviation from these requirements would be subject to approval of a
variance by the Board of Adjustment.
Adjacent Development.
In 2007, the city approved a General Plan for the adjacent tracts of land north and south
of the subject E). The
development included various phases of single family detached residential
development. The phases developed to this point are the DR Horton Homes
development at the southeast corner of Wharton Weems and Highway 146 and
Bayshore Elementary School at the northeast corner of Mc Cabe and Highway 146.
The previously approved La Porte Town Center only included the 20 acre parcel
sandwiched between the northern and southern sections of the Lakes at Fairmont
Green proposed development. This new proposal for La Porte Town Center now
includes the northern 20 acre parcel of Lakes at Fairmont Green. The northern
boundary of the new project now abuts the existing Bay Pointe Townhome community.

La Porte Town Center SCUP
As a result, the applicant is proposing a fence along the northern boundary to create
separation between the two communities.
Site Plan.
The applicant has submitted a conceptual site layout as part of their General Plan,
however this is not a formal site plan submittal and staff has not reviewed the
document for compliance with applicable requirements. At this time there has been no
Ordinance. A formal application for a site development plan is not required until after a
SCUP is approved. Should City Council approve the proposed SCUP, the applicant will be
required to submit application for a site development plan, in compliance with
applicable code requirements, to the Planning and Zoning Commission for approval. The
site plan will be required to comply with all requirements of Chapter 106, Zoning, unless
a variance is approved by the Board of Adjustment.
Design Guidelines.
façades. Because the site is along Highway 146 which is the primary corridor through
the city, it is categorized as a Tier 1 building that requires certain specific design and
façade treatments. The development will be required to comply with such
requirements.
Hike and Bike Trail.
connection north and south from Little Cedar Bayou Park to Bayshore Elementary
School. The subject development is a portion of that future trail system. As a condition
of this SCUP, the developer shall construct that portion of the hike and bike trail on this
property in accordance with city requirements in terms of location and construction
specifications. Additionally the applicant shall, upon completion of trail construction,
dedicate to the city a permanent public trail easement 20-foot on center for future
maintenance of the trail. In order to provide connectivity between the hike and bike
trail and the development, the applicant shall provide a trail spur to and through the
site.
Parking.
requirements. The number of parking spaces required in relation to the amount of
parking provided will be worked out at the time of site plan review. Staff does have
some concern that the amount of parking might not be sufficient to accommodate all
the proposed uses. However, until site development plans are submitted for review,
staff cannot accurately verify whether the amount of parking is in compliance with
applicable code requirements. This will be verified at the time the site plans are
submitted.

Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting
January 19, 2017
La Porte Town Center SCUP
Staff is also concerned with the location of parking along Highway 146. Staff encourages
parking be toward the center of the development, where possible, meaning that
buildings should be moved closer to the public right-of-way. A condition has been
included requesting the applicant to minimize the amount of parking stalls along the
Highway 146 frontage or install landscaping and planter islands in such a manner as to
break up the parking.
Public Streets.
The applicant has indicated a desire to subdivide parcels and sell off those out-parcels or
pad sites to others for development. As a result, public streets are required for access to
those parcels. The applicant will be required to replat the tract of land and as part of
such replatting will be required to dedicate rights-of-way for any required public roads.
Typically all public improvements are required to be installed and accepted by the city
prior to the recordation of the final plat. Since the applicant is proposing to develop the
project in phases, staff is recommending a condition that allows the applicant to enter
into a development agreement with the city to ensure that such improvements be
installed. Said development agreement will further outline a time-frame for completion
of such improvements along with a financial guarantee, approved by the city, for such
improvements.
Traffic Impacts.
There is not enough information at this time to determine traffic impacts associated
with the proposed development. As a result, staff is requesting consideration of a
condition that would require submittal of a traffic impact analysis that will review the
potential traffic generated from this facility and its impacts on the system. Any potential
negative impacts directly associated with the development of the property would have
to be mitigated and incorporated in the site development plan, on a proportionate level.
Public Utilities.
Public utility facilities and services are sufficient to handle the proposed development.
Water and sanitary sewer lines are both available in the vicinity, with water in the
Highway 146 right-of-way and sanitary sewer in an easement that runs through the
parcel on the east side. The applicant is proposing a public street along the easement,
which is acceptable. The applicant will be required to enter into a utility extension
agreement with the city for any extension of public water and sewer lines associated
with the development. Any utility extensions will be determined at the time of site
development plan review and shall be constructed at the cost of the developer.
Drainage.

January 19, 2017
La Porte Town Center SCUP
The development of this site will require on-site detention. All drainage and detention
requirement will be reviewed as part of the site plan submittal. Sufficient detention will
be required.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis above, staff finds that if the Planning and Zoning Commission
desires to recommend approval of the proposed Special Conditional Use Permit, then a
number of conditions should be considered in the approval.
Section 106-217 of the Zoning Ordinance outlines specific conditions for approval of
SCUP applications. There are three different conditions that must be met in order to
approve
