SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The Planning & Zoning Commission, during its July 17,2008, meeting, held a public hearing to receive citizen comments
regarding Rezone Request #R08-00 1. The applicant, Marcus Deal c/o Shaw Maintenance, Inc., seeks to have the
property, described as 21.289 acre tract consisting of lots 367,368,369 and 370, La Porte Outlots, rezoned from General
Commercial (GC) and Large Lot Residential (LL) to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The property is located at 1241
Underwood Road adjacent to H. B. Zachry north of the intersection of North 'P' Street. The applicant intends to utilize the
property for a laydown yard as a component of the company's business operations.
The existing facility primarily houses personnel and equipment associated with the maintenance and construction operations in
and around Harris County and the Gulf Coast Region. The facility is also involved in miscellaneous shop fabrication of metal
products, a majority of which occurs inside the mechanical shop and is not visible to the public. The facility also had exterior
storage and work activities within residentially zoned portion of the facility, which is prohibited by the Code of Ordinances.
To bring the facility in compliance with the current ordinance, the applicant has removed material and abandoned
outside activities within residentially zoned portion.
The tract is occupied by a pre-existing non-conforming building! structures, i.e. I-story metal shop and fuel storage in the
rear. The front general commercial portion of the facility has operated legally as a nonconforming use. As the previous use of
the rear of the facility for storage/exterior fabrication is lost, the applicant is seeking Planned Unit Development (PUD) zone
to regain the use for that purpose.
A Planned Unit Development (PUD) zone might be considered for a defined transitional period allowing limited industrial use
or laydown yard with the eventual implementation of the underlying land use at the end of said transitional period as applied
in the Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP), which will be an enforcement or operating tool in this regard.
As required by Ordinance, twelve notices of the public hearing were mailed to property owners within 200' of the subject
site. One response (e-mail) was received in this regard. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by unanimous vote, has
recommended to Council, approval of Rezone Request #R08-00 1.
Action Required bv Council:
1. Conduct public hearing.
Consider taking action on a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission to approve Rezone Request
R08-001, rezoning the referenced property from General Commercial (GC) and Large Lot Residential (LL) to Planned
nit Development (PUD).

Residential (LL) to Planned Unit Development (PUD).
The Planning and Zoning Commission, during their July 17, 2008, meeting, held a public hearing to receive citizen comments
regarding Rezone Request #R08-001. This request is for the company located at 1241 Underwood Road. The subject tract comprises
21.289 acres ofland, described as lots 367, 368, 369, and 370, La Porte Outlots with multiple zoning classifications. Front portion of
the facility along Underwood Road is zoned General Commercial (GC) while the rear portion protrudes into Large Lot Residential
(LL) zoning district. Land Use Map show identical uses, i.e. commercial on the front and residential in the back. The main access to
the property is along Underwood Road, and most abutting property is residential or undeveloped.
A part of the proposal is to request a rezone from General Commercial (GC) and Large Lot Residential (LL) to Planned Unit
Development (PUD) for utilizing the entire property to the fullest extent. The portion of the facility located within the present general
commercial zone is operating legally as a pre-existing and non-conforming use. However, the pre-existing, non-conforming use
registered in the general commercial zone did not authorize use of the residentially zoned portion of the property. In addition, exterior
material storage or work activities, which are prohibited in the residential zone, were previously abandoned. A special conditional use
permit along with a development site plan for establishing a PUD district will bring the property in substantial compliance with the
Code of Ordinances for a transitional period. Special Conditional Use Permit shall allow the City and the developer to be innovative
and more effective, consistent with the City's Land Use Map, Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the surrounding properties in
the long term.
As required by Ordinance, twelve notices of public hearing were mailed to property owners within 200' radius circle ofthe site. One
response received in favor and none opposed to this request. Granting this Special Conditional Use Permit will begin the process of
bringing the operation into compliance and long term consistency with the Land Use Plan.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, by a unanimous vote, recommends to City Council approval of Special Conditional Use
Permit #SCU08-004 with the conditions listed in the draft SCUP attached herewith.
Action Reauired bv Council:
1. Conduct public hearing.
on sider Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to approve Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU 08-004 for a
.289 acre tract of land located at 1241 Underwood Road.

SUMMARY
On July 17,2008, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU 08-005
for a proposed office/warehouse facility to be located in the Underwood Business Park off Old Underwood Road,
south of State Highway 225 and Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). Clay Development and Construction Inc. is
seeking this permit for proposed development of an office/warehouse facility for Packwell II on a 10.64 acre tract
being Reserve D located along Porter Road, within the Underwood Business Park. The property is zoned Planned
Unit Development (PUD) and General Plan has been approved by the City. Each additional reserve/phase of the
project would require a subsequent Special Conditional Use Permit, followed with a development site plan submittal.
The attached SCUP is identical to those previously approved by Council for other speculative buildings within the
project site.
Underwood Business Park is a commercial/industrial and design built complex off Old Underwood Road. The total site
consists of approximately 207 acres located off 101 Old Underwood Road. To the east, a 44 acre tract is reserved for
detention purposes. The project has an approved General Plan and Final Plat. The first phase of the business park
development started in May 2005, with a project known as Poly One. Subsequently, several other developments
(office/warehouses and distribution centers) were approved by the City. Building permits were issued for
construction of a 432,000 square foot office/warehouse building, a 900,000 square foot building, (to be used as
distribution centers) and other spec. buildings. These buildings are currently under construction and will be partially
rail served at a later stage. At present, 70% ofthe business park has been completed.
The City's Comprehensive Plan intends for this area to develop with industrial uses, and the existing land uses of nearby
properties are primarily industrial. Considering the economic development within La Porte, the project has merit.
Public Notices were mailed to four (4) property owners. No responses were received. By unanimous vote, the Planning
and Zoning Commission has recommended City Council consider approval of Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU 08-
005 with the conditions as listed in the SCUP attached herewith.
Action Reauired bv Council:
1. Conduct a Public hearing.
Consider Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to approve Special Conditional Use Permit
#SCU 08-005 for a 10.64 acre tract being Reserve D out of:t207 acres ofland located along Old
Underwood Road south of State Highway 225.
