Planning & Zoning Commission - Regular Meeting

Commissioner Haskins, motion to approve.

I think this is a great move for you guys. I like your renderings, and thank you for sharing what you guys do for the community. I mean, I had no idea. That's really good feedback and data. Other than that, I don't have any other comments. I think it's going to really hopefully block the view from the neighboring property where you can see just cars all around. So I just think it's going to add value to it at this location.

I actually love the idea of that. I think it's, I mean, I haven't seen your renderings, so, or what that would look like. Obviously, we want really nice looking, I guess you could call it office warehouse or office suites or office condos. I love the idea of that. I don't think that residential SR-15 makes sense unless you combine it with the Enrique and Angelica property because 10 acres is not enough for the amount of cost that it takes to develop a residential neighborhood in 10 acres. They're not going to get the lot. the value of the lots from the builders, it's just not going to happen.

Make it work. Commissioner Knight, I did drive Charles Avenue over there. days ago and not only their businesses and I don't staff needs to answer this I guess not only their businesses south of Bailey Road but there are also businesses all up and down Charles Avenue is that correct I do believe that is correct And on the sheet, you showed all the homes you sent letters to and everything, but it didn't really capture because it was too far away. It didn't capture any of that. So I don't think it's really going to negatively affect this area if we let them change this. It's already being used o

One other point I want to say too, SR-15, they'd have to, in order to turn that into a residential neighborhood, they'd have to have a public roadway entrance that's at least 60 foot wide. And that would completely just, I mean, where would that go? Right in front of the... Yeah, but you already have two entrances off dollar. So I'm just saying it just seems like you guys own where it says neighborhood services. That would be dollar store would have to give you that, right?

Yeah, you'd have to put in a public roadway. Yeah, coming up through their parking lot.

Yeah, so that's just, it doesn't make sense to leave that as SR-15, and we were all, or I was part of that, The 2040 comp plan, and I know there's just a lot of tracks we just didn't get to break down. We didn't break down every track there was in Pearland. So it's kind of hard. You just have to take a general guess at what something would end up being. But I could see how that really didn't fit for SR-15, looking at it from this viewpoint. So that's it.

Real quick, Henry, would you be okay with if they did something that, just so if you didn't vote for it or you're for it or whatever, feedback for them, like what if it was neighborhood services with a CUP for, and then they define what type of office professionals would be there?

Well, and I'm thinking like what they might be thinking about doing, and you can correct me, is if you had an office and it's got a door, say it's a plumbing company, and they need to store, they need a roll-up door to get their stuff in and out, right? I'm sure you don't want it parked outside.

So I guess what would be some options that could help them in this situation if that's kind of what they were trying to do or accomplish?

Let's say they want to have a HVAC or plumbing company or somebody that wants a garage, somewhere where they can keep inventory for their trucks to go out, service industries. What would be an ideal category or something that they could just at least do a CUP, where everybody feels comfortable that it can't just be any type of business in GC or GB?

Thank y'all for coming in. I hope y'all have given or gotten some decent feedback. from the panel here, appreciate all my colleagues' comments. We've got a couple of these sites around town that some dollar generals and whatnots have gone in by right with some of the existing or maybe change of land type, land use, And unfortunately, it puts in some of these areas in what I kind of refer to as a transitional zone, right? You've got established homes very nearby, some sort of very close related services not too far away. And In my mind, it's finding the right thing that everyone is going to be

All right. I just wanna, can I make a comment? I just wanna say that GB was, for what you guys wanna do, that's not the right thing, and as a board here, we need to go back to the city and see if we can get a, put something on the agenda for a UDC amendment so that maybe down the road this can work. Because even if you had this GB, you still couldn't do what you guys want to do, which I think is a great product for this property. And that would be unfortunate if we all said yes, and they said yes, and then turn around and you can't do what you want to do. So I think if we can, you guys let us

People have brought that, and I definitely talked to the city about that as an alternative. I think if our board is concerned about the GB and it still is not going to bring you the product you want, Council's definitely going to be, you know, probably, I can't speak for them, but I have a feeling they wouldn't be on board with it either, so.
