Planning & Zoning Commission - Regular Meeting

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I call this meeting to order for the Planning and Zoning Commission Tuesday, May the 19th, 2026 at 6.30 p.m. in the evening. We have a call order roll call and it looks like we're missing one commissioner and we have a quorum. So kicking it over to you, staff.

Good evening, commissioners. Tonight, the format of the hearing will be first a call to order, followed by a staff report, then an opportunity for the applicant to present on behalf of their project, followed by public comments in support or opposition of the project, any public comments who would like them to share their name and address for the record, and then be brief and to the point within a three-minute time frame. Following that will be commission and staff discussion. And then the commission will vote on the recommended approval as presented, approval with conditions or denial of the request, or table the item if they feel they need additional information. City Council's consideration for the conditional use permit on tonight's agenda will be on June 8th. For the consent agenda tonight, we have the excused absences, minutes, and then the replat of lot two, block one of the ZFAM properties pair land. And on new business, there is a variance for the creation of a flag lot in the M2 district, along with the replat of Magination Park and addition, which is reflective of the flag lot from the first item. Then we have a conditional use permit for resale slash consignment shop in BP 288 district, followed by a draft of the five-year capital improvement program for 2027 through 2031. And that's all.

Thank you, staff. All right, then I'll take an entertaining motion and a second for the consent agenda.

Commissioner Haskins, motion to approve.

Commissioner Orno, second.

All right, anybody wanting to say anything? If they don't, I'll call for the vote. All those in favor, sign by raising your right hand. All those opposed, same sign, passes six to zero. All right, nobody pulled anything from the consent agenda, so we're moving on to new business. Consideration and possible action, VAP2026-0189 variance for the creation of a flag lot in the heavy industrial M2 district. A request by JP Anders, applicant on behalf of Everwood Magnolia LLC owner for approval of variance permitted in sections 3.1.1.6F of the Unified Development Code and ordinance number 2000-T from section 2.6.1.1B2 to allow the creation of the two flag lots in the heavy industrial M2 district on 30.14 acres of land located at 3902 Magnolia Parkway, Pearland, Texas. I'll entertain a motion and a second.

Commissioner Haskins' motion to approve.

Commissioner Knight, second.

All righty, thank you. We have a motion and a second, so that would turn it over to staff report.

Thank you, Chair. So good evening, Chair and members of the Commission. The request, as mentioned, is for a variance for the creation of two flag lots in the heavy industrial M2 district. And should we know that both flag lots are proposed to have a frontage of 50.01 feet. Their proposed use for the entire development, which you'll see on the next page with the plat, is for a warehouse development. So first on the left-hand side of your screen is the aerial and zoning map of the property. The site of the property is that dark purple color, which is the heavy industrial, and we have some same industrial zoning to the east and to the north, and then to the south and the west is some single-family residential zoning. You'll notice also this site kind of comes off at the end of the Magnolia area. So it's kind of at the end of the Magnolia Bridge, which will be noted in the plat with one of the aspects. And so on the right hand side of your screen is the proposed plat for the property. The black boundaries are the overall subdivision of land. which includes this lot here, which is the existing development that you would see if you were coming westbound over the bridge. And then the other portion is undeveloped currently. And this request specifically is for the two flag lots which are outlined in red, which both have a 50.01 foot lot width at the frontage, which is that flag lot. And it should be noticed as well, given where this is on Magnolia Parkway, the actual access comes through one driveway off of Magnolia. And so there's access easements running through the front of the property as well as down through the flag lots to actually service and service access for all those sites. And so staff recommends approval of the requested variance for the following reasons. The proposed flag lots will allow the approximately 30-acre track to be subdivided and utilized for multiple industrial users. The proposed flag lot will meet the zoning district regulations for the M2 district except for that 150-foot minimum lot frontage. And lastly, those access easements are being provided on the proposed plat to ensure all lots have access to Magnolia Parkway. And that concludes staff's report.

Thank you, Patrick. That brings us to applicant presentation. The applicant present. Okay. That brings us to persons wishing to speak for or against this item. Seeing no one moving in that direction, I'm gonna ask one more time. Anyone wishing to speak for or against this item? Seeing none, I'm gonna open it up for discussion amongst the commission. Craig, you got anything?

So I'm noticing that the drive is going to cut through the drive of the business that's already there. And then the flag lots, though, they really don't touch a road. It's just the northern property border. And it's mainly because the road takes a turn. I'm assuming number one and number two, you're It seems like you're trying to reach out or assist a difficult situation with these flag lights, right?

Yeah, and I would say first off, so they do have frontage, and I'd say there's a difference between whether you have frontage on a right-of-way and whether the road is actually there. They have the frontage, the required frontage, it's just the way the road is designed and Back in the day, previously, whenever Magnolia wasn't finished yet, the road did run in front of these lots, but then it was improved upon, and this is the next best spot to have the driveway is where they put it, because you can't have the driveway, of course, going over. But the lot is kind of, it's a deeper lot with, while it has frontage, it's a deeper lot that gets a little, unless you find a big user that can, take on 20 acres of warehouse development by themselves, you're really not going to find anyone that can actually develop it just for one user. It's more meant for multiple users.

And I applaud you and staff, anybody else that was in on this decision. I applaud you all for going that extra mile to make this happen. I mean, it seems like we're even going above and beyond it to make this work, or being creative. And it reminds me of the Pearland Town Center that has, I think they call it the spaghetti bowl with all these 50 flags to get to a road or right of way. And I wonder, while we're doing the, not rewrite of the UDC, is there anything we can do for this? These are parcels that I think we're gonna, or issues we're gonna have with parcels that are difficult. This is difficult, and that's why we're seeing it. Is there any kind of, anything we can do to make this, you guys not have to go through this exercise, but just think about that. That's my only comment. I'm totally for it. I appreciate very much what staff has done here. Thanks.

I have two questions for staff. Reducing the frontage from 150 foot to 50 foot, does that create any long-term operational or safety problems?

I mean, they'll still have to meet any fire apparatus access or essentially it's how they want to design the site, whether they have drives coming down or they share a drive. At the end of the day, they'll still have to meet any requirement for fire apparatus or they may have to put a fire hydrant that comes into the site because it is far back there. But those are things, more development of the site that they'll have to take care of and make sure that they still have to bring in the buildings and the buildings still have to meet all the requirements of building fire engineering.

And then do you think that this design, do you think it'll create any future conflicts with the way that it's

And you mean in terms of maybe traffic or, and that's one thing that they had to do a TIA before bringing this. And there's maybe mitigation measures that maybe certain, or like if this is heavier truck traffic, maybe it has to come from a certain direction. And engineering can weigh in on that a little bit, but they did complete their traffic impact analysis for that. But before they could even bring it, they had to complete that.

All right, I don't have anything either, so I'm going to call for the vote. Those in favor, sign by raising your right hand. All those opposed, same signs. Passes six to zero. It takes us to the next item, which is consideration of possible action for CPL2026-0159, replat of Magination Park in addition. A request by J.P. Enders applicant on behalf of Everwood Magnolia LLC owner for approval of the replat of Magination Park and additions creating four lots and one reserve on 30.14 acres of land located south of Magnolia Parkway, west of Main Street, and east of Veterans Drive. Address 3902 Magnolia Parkway. Can I have a motion and a second?

Commissioner Haskins, motion to approve.

Commissioner Knight, second.

Okay, I have a motion and a second. Staff report.

Thank you, Chair. So you just saw this plot, but kind of just to go into it a little further. So it's for the creation of four lots and one detention reserve. And so it's previously stated lot four, which is that one that's right closest to that Magnolia driveway. That's the current existing developed lot. on the site and then lots one, two and three are undeveloped lots and then the detention reserve at the back is to serve the entire development. So there's easements running through the site to allow for each one of them for that to serve as their detention so they won't have individual detentions. And so staff recommends approval of the requested replat as it meets the requirements of the Unified Development Code. And that concludes staff's report.

Thank you. That takes us to applicant's presentation. Applicant is not present. And that takes us to persons wishing to speak for or against this item. Seeing no one moving in that direction, I'm going to ask one more time, persons who wish to speak for or against this item. That moves it on to the commissions for discussion. Got anything?

Thank you.

clarification question are we the board that makes the decision here or does this go to council does a replant remind me go to council these these stay at planning and zoning and even if the one they are maybe thinking of which still is in y'all's hands is residential replants are the most heavily looked at those still go to y'all no plots go to council question a lot i think it's lot three next to the reserve a where's the access easement so it's running and there's an access event running down this flag and it's a little hard to tell from this zoomed out but there's a dashed line you can see running through this flag here um this is the access easement as well as um there's a storm sewer easement right here as well that um allows for because one of the things a lot one is the farthest away from any type of detention. So they have to have an easement that allows for them to tap into that reserve at the back. But the access easement is running through the back here.

Why does the access easement?

I want to say this one, I want to say it's 54 feet wide.

It's 50.

Oh, okay. It's a little small, but it's it's right here on this. It's essentially the entire and I can see it now that I'm reading it, but it is 54 feet wide.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, that wraps that up, so I'm going to call for the vote. All those in favor, sign by raising your right hand. All those opposed, same sign, carries six to zero. That takes us to the next item, item three, which is consideration of postural action, conditional use permit application CUP2026-0184, public hearing, a request by Dana Garnett, applicant on behalf of Amala Di-Varani, owner for approval of a conditional use permit, for resale consignment shop use on approximately 2.438 acres of land within the Business Park 288, BP-288 district, and is... Address is east... Center Drive, south of Broadway Street, and north of Magnolia Parkway, parallel in Texas. Can I have a motion and a second?

Commissioner Haskins' motion to approve.

Commissioner Hendrick, second.

Okay, we have a motion and a second, and we're going to kick it off to staff.

Thank you, Chair. So this is a request that's proposing a 15,000 square foot resale slash consignment shop on the subject property and the store is open to the public for the purpose of dropping off clothing and other apparel items for resale and purchasing. And if you remember, this was a previous CUP as well that came early 2026 that ended up going before council and getting denied. But on this slide, I wanted to provide some of the updates that the applicant made to the CUP. And so for starters, they revised the west elevation, which is elevation facing business center to incorporate a minimum of 25% transparency. They revised the east elevation, which is facing 288, to incorporate aluminum and glass storefront and pre-fabricated aluminum canopies with the glazing to be tinted or spandrel to block visibility into the tenant's back of house operations. Third, they provided a larger canopy at the donation area to provide better weather protection. And lastly, they revised the landscape plan to incorporate an additional tree in the landscape island near the truck dock, which will be shown when I get to the site plan. To date, staff has not received any comments in support or against the request, and property notices were sent to all property owners within 200 feet, and a notification sign was placed on the property by the applicant. Here we get a look at the subject property outlined in the image. It's within that Business Park 288, and that same zoning is to the north, south, and west with 288 to the east. The surrounding uses include the floor and decor and the multi-tenant retail to the west, State Highway 288 to the east, and then undeveloped land to the north and south. In terms of the future land use plan, the subject properties is in the commercial center place type, and they have that same place type as what surrounds them on all sides. So history on the property was annexed into the city in 1996. It's platted as a part of lot two of the ZFAM properties plat, and then a replat has been submitted and was on the consent agenda to further subdivide into this lot, and then another lot would be to the north. And then CUP for the proposed resale and consignment shop was denied by city council on the February 23rd, 2026 meeting. So here we get a look at the subject property and the design plan. Business center's on the bottom of your screen with 288 on the top. And so access is from business center with parking at the front of the property along business center. The building is situated roughly in the middle of the lot. The drop-off or donation area is on the right-hand side of the image that you're looking at. So it'd be on the south side of the building. And then the kind of loading dock or loading area is on the left-hand side of the building, which would be your north side of the building. And then the detention for the site is at the back of the lot along 288. Here we get a look at the landscape plan. To note, it has the street trees along Business Center Drive, trees within the parking area, as well as trees within kind of this area right here, which is at that corner where it's kind of used to kind of block the loading dock. And then also trees around the detention pond, which is a requirement of the Business Park 288 district to amenitize, which can be done in a number of different ways, whether that be wet, adding trees around it, adding vegetation, or adding a trail or something, so they chose to put the trees around it, the vegetation. So we're gonna look at the elevations for the property. The top one is the north elevation, so this would be looking at one of those other undeveloped lots. The bottom image is facing business center drive, so this would be that west elevation. And here we get a look at the south elevation on the top. So this is just facing another one of those undeveloped lots. And then the bottom image is the 288 frontage. So you see this from 288 and they have noted the windows here, which are tinted or spandrel glass. The next two slides would just be some renderings that they provided. So this is from Business Center looking at the site, both images. And then lastly, this is from 288, looking into the site, seeing the detention pond as well as the building on the side that's facing 288. Let's look at some of the review criteria. The proposed use is consistent with the commercial center place type. The proposed use is also consistent with the thoroughfare plan. In terms of the UDC, the proposed development shall conform to the regulations of the BP 288 district. and the subject property has access to water and sewer. So looking at the approval criteria for a conditional use permit, staff found that the request met five of the seven criteria and then may meet two of the criteria with staff's recommended conditions. So the proposed use is consistent with the policies of the comprehensive plan and the thoroughfare plan. So therefore, staff recommends approval of the requested CUP with the following conditions. Condition one is that two parking lot trees shall be provided in the end cap islands in the row of parking adjacent to the northwest side of the building, and the tree shall be a minimum three-inch caliper measured at 12 inches above the root ball, and trees shall be evergreen with year-round foliage. Condition two, the keeping, displaying, or storing of any goods, materials, merchandise, or equipment outside of the principal building shall be prohibited, and any material, debris, or refuse dropped off on site must be located inside the building immediately or be transferred to the dumpster. condition three is that the proposed elevations shall substantially conform to the attached concept elevation sheet which was those elevations that i showed you i'm with the requirement that a minimum 25 of the exterior wall facing business center drive shall be transparent And then condition four is that the exterior wall facing State Highway 288 shall provide a minimum of 18% tinted or spandrel glass as shown on the proposed elevations and material shall substantially conform with those illustrated in the concept elevation sheet. And lastly, condition five, no signage shall be permitted to be placed on the spandrel glass facing State Highway 288. And that concludes staff's report.

Thank you.

Thank you, Patrick. That takes us to applicant presentation.

Is the applicant present? Do you have a presentation or are you here just for if we have questions?

Okay. All right. That's going to take it to persons wishing to speak for or against this item. Seeing no one moving in that direction, ask one more time, anyone wishing to speak for or against this item? Seeing none, we're gonna open it up to commission. Darrell, you wanna kick it off?

Yeah, Commissioner Knight, I have a question. You'll stand, please.

State your name.

Yeah, state your name and address for the record.

Yes, my name is Jason Miller. I live at 21446 Petherton Drive in Tomball, Texas.

And what do you do?

I'm the architect for the project.

You're not with Goodwill? No, we're not. Okay. I know they put some verbiage in there about stuff being dropped off being removed immediately. I think there's a lot of concern in the city about how it looks around it. Are there going to be cameras or anything to monitor that? Because it shouldn't be our police officer's job to make sure nobody drops stuff off after hours.

Right. I can't necessarily speak for Goodwill, but I would imagine they would have security cameras in general as a part of their facility, yes. Thank you.

Do you have some, Commissioner Hendricks here, do you have some other renderings of what this looks like, color renderings? Because I just want to make sure that this matches the character of the There's some really nice buildings in development right next to this, and I want to make sure. It looks like it's part metal building on the panels. Can you explain?

So this, I don't believe.

If it's the FM-01, I mean, what is the main structure?

The main structure is concrete to a wall, texture painted, and then we have some articulation built into it. on the corners, and then on the front as well. And that would be a integral color stucco.

Okay, so you have anything that would show what that textured paint tilt, I think it's called form liner is? It just doesn't look like it matches the normal character of the other buildings in the area. Just trying to get a vision of what this looks like. Is there another product that they built with this? This look, Goodwill? Or another location? Sorry, not product, but another location?

Not. We've not done many ground-up 15,000-foot boxes like this. It's mostly infill space that we've seen. We're happy to provide. I don't have any here with me, but we're happy to provide additional information to help clarify anything.

I think this goes to council, right? Okay, so I would definitely provide that because I would think that they would want to see that what that would look like. Because they're going to want to make sure that the other people that have put a lot of money into making the buildings, I mean, it's just hard for me to visualize this, these renderings. They're just going to make sure that it's matching the character of the, because there's some really nice architecturally looking buildings right next door. Well, maybe not next door, but on that street. So I would highly recommend you bring something that is built so they can get a better vision.

this and then you really are you referring more to the retail that's across the street yes same side to same side both both yeah I kind of have the same question that Commissioner Knight had I'll just redirect it back to staff on the number two about keeping and displaying and storing what how do we handle that what does that look like What are we requiring of them? Like, is there a gate that they'll need to put up at night so that nothing gets dropped off?

Yeah, I don't want to say necessarily. I mean, someone, a site, as long as they meet the requirements, they can have a gate. That would go back to the Unified Development Code. Given that it's on private property, it turns more into a code enforcement thing of, hey, are we consistently getting or are we driving by and we're seeing a lot of stuff dropped off there? I think that's where it plays in more and you don't, I don't want to say other sites, if you do it, like a multi-tenants, usually they have an area at the back that you don't see. You're going to see everything here because you can't not see it because it's two roadways. But yes, the condition is meant to... keep stuff off the site. And so that gives us teeth to actually enforce that. And then code enforcement would be the mechanism by which we would make sure that they're staying in line.

Thank you. So there's one of these, not goodwill, but The Forgotten Angels have a drop-off place, and I know that we've dropped off overnight, and by the next morning, driving by, it's gone. I mean, if we've got a really large concern that it's going to be a nuisance, which I doubt it is, then... need to put something in the stipulations. If not, then I think it'll be fine. People are gonna drop off their secondhand stuff and the next morning they'll pick it up and process it like they do it at all the other places. I think it looks really good. So it's a decent spot for it. It's, you know, right down the on the highway. So gonna have to keep it clean and make it meet the expectation of the stuff around the facility. But I appreciate you coming back with some additional updates and and staff putting it together. Thanks.

I echo that. Coming back through the city and taking the comments that were given to you, I'm assuming by council, is great. I'm glad you're back. As for the character of that area, it just seems that it's different. All those buildings are a little different. You have floor and decor, which has hardly any transparency in the front. And then you have, what's that, Costco and a few strip centers. I mean, it's just, I don't want to say hodgepodge. They're all good looking. They all met our requirements. And I think this building does too. So I'm definitely for it. I appreciate you guys coming back.

Okay. I don't have any comments. So we'll call for the vote. All those in favor, sign by raising your right hand. those opposed same sign passes six to zero congratulations now you go fight it out with City Council all right that takes us to item four and this needs no motion because it's just a presentation a chair did just want to check did we was that with staff conditions or not with staff conditions that screwed that up yep We need to vote for conditions then, right?

I would actually first recommend a motion to reconsider.

Okay, can I have a motion to reconsider? Motion to reconsider, Commissioner Haskins.

Motion to reconsider, Commissioner Hendricks.

Okay, now we vote for?

For reconsidering.

Reconsider, okay. All those in favor of reconsidering our vote? Passes six to zero. All right, now I need a motion for the additional conditions for staff recommendations, one through five.

The motion to reconsider, everybody voted for that, so now, I'm sorry, I couldn't hear what you were saying.

Everybody had voted for it, yeah.

Okay, okay.

Okay. Now we need a motion for staff recommendations to be attached to it.

I'll make a motion to attach the staff recommendations.

Commissioner Hendrick, second.

All right. All right, I'm called for a vote on adding the conditions. All those in favor, sign by raising your right hand. All those opposed, same sign. Passes six to zero. Do we need to go ahead and do the other one again?

There was a motion for.

That was a motion for the conditions.

All the conditions. It passed 6-0. You had motion, second vote. You're good.

Okay, so we're good.

Now you can go to the next item on the agenda. Thank you.

Okay, so we can go to item four now? Yes. Okay, all right. This to consideration for draft five-year capital improvement program, 2027 through 2031. It's a presentation for the capital improvement plan. So this will be coming back to us later for a vote. This right here is just for us to listen to see what all is going on. gonna happen, so take it away.

Good evening, Plenty and Zoning Commission. I'm Fabiola DiCarvalho, Assistant Director of Capital Projects with the Engineering and Public Works Department. It is my pleasure and a privilege to be in front of you to present the City of Pearland's draft five-year capital improvement program from fiscal year 27 through 31. We took note of your comments last year in regards to allowing you more time to review the five-year CIP in order to submit your recommendation to city council. So tonight we are presenting with the draft program in anticipation of our final presentation on June 1st, when we will seek your recommendation to city council as per our city charter. So no action is needed from you tonight, but we look forward to your feedback. And here's an overview of what we'll be covering. We'll cover the city charter section that pertains to P&Z commission role in capital improvement program. We'll cover the city council's strategic priorities and how that is directly tied to the capital improvement program and also how it is tied to the master plans that ultimately are incorporated into the comprehensive plan. We'll explain again the capital improvement program development process and where we are at. We'll show you our accomplishments and provide you with the draft recommendations for the five year capital improvement program for fiscal year 27 through 31. We'll open up for discussions and questions at the end. According to the City of Pearland city charter section 7.01 subsection D in paragraph six, That speaks to the power and duties of the Planning and Zoning Commission, which read as follows. Submit annually to the city manager, no less than 90 days prior to the beginning of the budget year, a list of recommendations of capital improvement, which in the opinion of the commission are necessary or desirable to be constructed during the forthcoming five years. Such lists shall be arranged in order of preference with recommendation as to which projects shall be constructed in which year. As we start off our presentation, we would like to mention the city council's strategic priorities that make the city of Pearland the community of choice for over 130,000 people and many businesses. The six priorities are trusted government, strong economy, safe community, sustainable infrastructure, resilient finances, and connected community. These priorities explain why, what, and how we do things at the city. And as you know, the Capital Improvement Program is a living document that is updated annually to allow City Council to adjust priorities based on changing community needs, economic conditions, or new opportunities. As you will see tonight, many of these services we provide to the city fall in more than one priority. The City of Pearland maintains a holistic approach to the Capital Improvement Program, To these, we leverage various planning documents to assess the capacity of our existing infrastructure and forecast future needs within the community. For instance, the City's Comprehensive Plan, which is a long-range planning policy document approved by the Commission, incorporates master plans such as for water, wastewater, and transportation. That serves as a blueprint for our community's future growth, development, and redevelopment. It helps guide decisions on land use and how much new infrastructure is needed, or how much needs to be improved to keep up with the sustainable growth. The capital improvement program incorporates the recommendations from these master plans and prioritize based on council's strategic priorities into the annual budget, which then gets approved by council. The five year program, which will be presented to you tonight, addresses the needs of the city, ensuring high quality services with a transparent process, providing investments that makes the community more attractive to residents and businesses, ensuring safety, providing sustainable infrastructure based on financial resilience and fostering a connected community through the wonderful amenities city has to offer. Though the five year CIP document is revised every year to accommodate new projects, reflect changes in ongoing projects, every year we extend one more year to the program so that we always have a five year program. The first year is approved by council and becomes the annual budget. The following four years are added to the program for financial forecast. Improvements identified in subsequent years are approved only on a planning basis and do not receive appropriation. The creation of the five-year capital improvement program is an in-depth, year-long process involving every department within the city. The fiscal year 26 through 30 CIP was finalized in September of 25. And the planning process for the fiscal year 27 to 31 CIP was initiated in October of last year. Currently, we are in the third quarter, as is shown in this slide, of the CIP process. Staff is making the final changes to the CIP, which is being reviewed by the city manager's office. And today, we present you with the draft proposed five-year capital improvement program, which once we get your recommendation on June 1st, We will ultimately present that to council for consideration and adoption. Again, no action is required from you today. We presented this timeframe to you back in January 13th this year, so I would not go into the details, but to summarize, we kicked off the CIP development in October of 25, as I mentioned, allowing only departments to submit their requests for new projects. We met with each discipline group, facilities, parks, water, wastewater, streets, and drainage, at least three times to review their requests, project costs, and prioritization. We are here now in this timeline in May, providing you with the draft CIP. We'll get your feedback tonight, and should you have any additional questions, you can submit those to Community Development Department by May 21st. Then we'll be back to present final five-year CIP plan in June 1st, seeking your recommendation to City Council as described in the city charter. Upon your recommendation, the next step is the five-year CIP fiscal year 2731 workshop budget, which has been scheduled for June 22nd. City Council will then adopt the annual budget in September. We'll now talk about completed capital projects. In front of you, there is a list of the projects that have been completed in 2025. Between this slide and the next, there is a total of 25 projects completed in 2025. And here's the rest of the completed projects in 2025. And here's the list of the projects that have been completed in 2026 so far, a total of nine projects, Until the end of the year, we estimate more projects will be completed. As you can see, this is the city's commitment in addressing the needs of our community, which can be a drainage project to improve drainage conveyance in a neighborhood to address flooding issues, a water rehabilitation project to improve water pressure and improve water quality, a roadway project to improve rideability, safety, reduce congestion, and improve traffic flow, or a trail project that improves quality of life. Commissioners, this slide represents the overall five-year capital improvement program for each category for fiscal year 27 to 31, with an approximate total of $844 million, being $213 million just for fiscal year 27. As mentioned previously, if approved by council, the fiscal year 27 will become the annual budget. The years 28 through 31st are listed for planning purposes and do not receive any appropriation for the funding listed in these years. There were 168 capital requests, 167 capital requests included represents the current workload. We're not asking you to review and recommend 167 projects because a lot of these projects have funding approved in previous fiscal years and are only being accounted within this workload because these projects are in progress and have not been completed yet. But again, we are not asking for your recommendation to approve funding for all 167 projects. But for 15 drainage projects, 11 facility projects, seven parks projects, 22 street projects, 26 wastewater projects, and 25 water projects, making a total of 106 capital projects in the fiscal year 27 to 31. that will be seeking your recommendation on June 1st. The zero amounts you see on the table is because no new projects are included in those fiscal years. Again, as master plans get updated and priorities are adjusted, this can change. And we do have a few master plans in development currently, such as water and parks, and two others that will start this year, the wastewater and the drainage. The recommendations will update the next CIP development. We'll start with the drainage category included in the fiscal year 27 through 31 CIP. As mentioned, there are 15 drainage projects in the capital improvement program in the fiscal year 27 through 31 with an approximate total of 219 million. This total includes projects that began in prior fiscal years and are continuing through fiscal year 27 in either design or construction phase. Of the 15 projects, 10 projects have voter approved 2023 GEO bond funding. Three are listed here being recommended to start design in fiscal year 27. Commissioner, here's the list of the approved drainage projects. The proposed drainage projects we are recommending funding for fiscal year 27 through 31. Again, a total of 15 projects. Please note that DR 2601 and DR 2602 have been combined. and DR2701, DR2702, and DR2704 have also been combined. When combining projects, staff looks at scope similarity, project limits closeness, and resource allocation with the purposes of designing and constructing the projects together. The total projected funding means the total cost of the project and may have historical funding included, which means the funding has already been approved and may have already been encumbered. Some of these projects have already started the design phase. For example, the Veterans Drainage Improvements, DR2305, which are asking for funding for the construction phase for fiscal year 27. Commissioners, I would like to point out that we expect for the last five projects listed on the slide, all are being funded except for the five ones listed on the slide, all are being funded through the voter-approved 2023 Geobond Fund. We'll now move to facilities projects that are included in the fiscal year 27 through 31 CIP list. There are 11 facilities capital improvement projects included in the CIP list with an approximate total of 109 million. This total includes projects that began in prior fiscal years and are continuing through fiscal year 27 in either design or construction phase. Of the 11 projects, two will start design in fiscal year 27 upon council's authorization of the budget. Here are the 11 facilities projects that we are commending funding for fiscal year 27 to 31, some to cover design and construction, some design only, and some construction only. Fire Station 7 is also a project that has voter-approved 2023 GEO bond funding. And Orange Street Service Center Phase 2 is currently under design. Reflection Bay, a water reclamation facility fuel island, will be starting design soon at this year and construction is estimated for fiscal year 27. Other projects have been designed, planned for fiscal year 27 in future years. As you can see on this slide, the project year listed on. We'll now go over the parks projects included in the five-year CIP. There are seven parks capital improvement projects included in the CIP list with an approximate total of 54 million. The story again includes projects that have begun in prior fiscal years and are continuing through fiscal year 27 in either design and construction. Of the seven projects, we have the Independence Park phase two project, which will have the design start this year and construction is estimated to start in 2028. Here are the seven projects we are recommending funding for fiscal year 27 to 31 as listed. On this list, I would like to highlight the Clear Creek Trail from Barry Rose Water Reclamation Facility to the University of Houston at Clear Lake, which is under design and has funding from the Houston Galveston Area Council, in addition to city funding. And the PK2702 Parks Improvement Sports Complex at Shadow Creek Range, which will start the design soon and has PEDC funding, but will be reimbursed by tourist tax increment reimbursement zone. We're now moving to the streets projects, five-year, listed in the five-year capital improvement program. There are 22 street capital improvement projects, including the five-year CIP, with an approximate total of 208 million. This total, again, includes projects that have begun in prior fiscal years and are continuing through fiscal year 27 in either design and construction phase. Of the 22 projects, three are brand new projects started in fiscal year 27. On the street projects proposed funding for fiscal year 27 to 31, we have TR2101 and TR2502, that includes expansion of the Broadway, and the TR2401, concrete sidewalk gaps and replacement, which has ongoing construction and has voter approved 2023 GEO bond funding as well. Also on the list is TR2705, the preliminary engineering report for future bond referendum for the streets. The study will identify future projects based on residents' needs and input for a possible bond election, and the study will start in fiscal year 27. Commissioning staff is also looking at other funding opportunities for various projects. We submitted an application in February for funding consideration to the U.S. Department of Transportation for the planning phase of Reed Boulevard Extension project for $2,150,000. If approved, city's portion will be $430,000. Responses are expected to be announced by late June. We also submitted to the HDAC's 2025 call for active transportation projects in January 2026. This initiative prioritized providing multimodal transportation options, improving environmental quality and enhancing pedestrian safety. The total requested by City of Pearland across all three submitted projects rounds to approximately 20 million to include safe routes to school phase two and two other parks projects. And here are the additional streets capital projects that are proposed for fiscal year 27 through 31 in the CIP. We'll now discuss the water projects included in the five-year CIP. There are 25 capital improvement projects, water projects included in the CIP list with an approximate total of 122 million. Again, this total includes projects that have begun in prior fiscal years. You will notice some of the projects on this list have been combined with drainage and or wastewater projects for better use of resources. To mention a few, WH-2103, FM-518 utility relocations has been combined with a wastewater project. And the Creekview and Shadycrest transit pipe water line project has been combined with the drainage and wastewater portions. And the Southwest Quadrant of Old Town water project has been combined with the drainage portions. In addition, WA-2601 and WA-2609 have also been combined. And here's the list, the rest of the list for the water projects being proposed for the five-year CIP. So this is the last asset system on the presentation, the wastewater. There are 26 wastewater capital improvement projects included in the five-year CIP with an approximate total of 133 million. This total also includes projects that have begun in prior fiscal years. Of the 26 projects, four new projects are to start in fiscal year 27. And here are the several wastewater projects with funding being proposed for fiscal year 27 through 31. Total of 26 projects as mentioned. As depicted on this slide, WW2408 has been combined with WW2501 and are currently under design. WW2503 has been combined with WW2506. And WW2504 has been combined with WW2603. And among these projects, there are several lift stations rehabilitation projects. And here's the rest of the list of the proposed wastewater projects in the CIP. Commissioners, as we are approaching the end of our presentation and before we open up for questions, I would like to let you know that the CIP webpage has been up and running since February of 2024. All active projects are listed on the page. You will find information on the active projects to include what phase the project is at, timeline of completion, funding information, in addition to who to contact if you have any questions. For projects that are in construction, we also have included progress pictures. People can sign up for each project specifically and be notified when an update to the project page is made. It is a very nice tool and we are encouraging residents to follow along on the progress of the projects and to learn more on what is happening in Pearland. Well, I understand a lot of information has been provided today. And I truly appreciate this opportunity to have presented the City of Pearland draft five-year capital improvement program to the Planning and Zoning Commission. And with that, we can open up for discussions and questions, if any.

Thank you. Commissioner Knott, I noticed on some of the years there's a zero. Is that just because nothing's been planned or there's nothing available that year?

There's no projects listed planned for that year, but as master plans are developed and recommendations are coming from the master plans, those projects will be coming on the list. For that specific on the streets, one project listed is the preliminary engineering report for a bond referendum. So some of the projects will be coming up from that study and that could be showing up on this for the fiscal year 2031.

Commissioner Hendricks here it looks like these are all very valid important projects that need to occur I'm just always got a sticker shock so I get it though but it's a really the presentation was really great thank you I think I'm on the same wavelength as Mr. Knight over here we seem to think the same but my wrote my note that I wrote down was regarding the streets and I just put does the zero in 2031

Does it mean that no street projects are planned, or does it reflect accounting of projects that were already funded in earlier years?

So some of these projects, for now, like the CIP, there's no projects listed, right? As we update the CIP every year, the need, that could change.

Okay, perfect. And then I wanted to let you know that the QR code Code reader on your presentation is expired. The link doesn't work. I don't know if it's the same on the website. I didn't check it out. I just wanted to let you know.

Okay. Thanks for letting me know. I'll make sure it's corrected. Thank you.

Thanks for the presentation. It was great. You guys did a lot of work to put that together. Thank you.

Appreciate it. Also, Echo, a very good presentation. Thank you. It's a lot to digest. I heard you say it. I wrote it down, but then I heard you say it in another part. Some of these Shadow Creek things in the next couple years, I was wondering if that was TERS reimbursable. But again, I don't want to get into the mechanics of funding and all that stuff because I don't know. It goes over my head. But I thought that there's some room in the TERS. TERS 2, I guess, is the correct TURS, there may be some funding still there. So I'm sure the city's on top of that. If I remember correctly, Trent was in the last meeting, so I'm sure that that's.

We do have a project currently that we'll be seeking reimbursement, and they have already been approved by the TURS, and we just have to complete the project and submit for reimbursement. And we also have new projects as the sports complex at Shadow Creek that includes improvements to the parks and also trails. There's also a Kingsley Bridge that's also TERS reimbursable, and the Broadway expansion that's also TERS reimbursable, and there's also a land acquisition project as well. All of those are TERS reimbursable.

TERS is a Tax Incremental Reinvestment Zone, and just as an overview for my little bit of knowledge, the city came into an agreement with the developers of Shadow Creek to form this. And when you pay taxes, if you live in Shadow Creek, you pay your property taxes, some of it gets returned to the TERS to pay these projects or to pay the developers and or the project owners. So it's kind of weird to me that the city who collects the taxes still funds through the TERS. I just... Yeah, the parks, when I looked at the parks, if you even wanna go to that totals page, I saw the same thing I think one of you referred to that, let's see, I think it was page 10 or 12, that's it, that's it. I noticed that the parks was a zero and then two almost de minimis numbers in 2030 and 2031. And I'm assuming what you said earlier is they'll probably meet and put some things in there. But for right now, they don't have anything big or major proposed for 29, 30, and 31. Is that? For parks?

Yes, ma'am. That's correct. And we are currently finalizing the parks master plan. So as come next year, then we'll have the recommendations to be listed in the plan.

All right. And the Macau Street, $64 million, is that something that we get any kind of reimbursement through the state or feds?

So we currently have an agreement called the AFA with TxDOT. If I'm not mistaken, it's at 80%, 20% split. where the city will be contributing 20% and tech stock pays for 80%.

12 million sounds a lot better than 64, that's great. Thank you again, a great presentation.

Thank you again. Yes, great high level, much appreciated. He stole my question, because that was just a glaring number when everything's in the 10s and 12s, and then there's a 64. So I was going to ask, I'm assuming, or I was hoping we would be trying to partner with TxDOT through a partner project with that. So that's great. And then I'm assuming we're going to budget, hopefully, are 20% and then are we gonna try and budget the whole total and then do other projects if we actually get that agreement?

If I'm not mistaken, we have to budget for the whole amount as when the TxDOT will be overseeing the construction on this project. So as the project gets bid, if I'm not mistaken, 90 days prior to that or 60 days, the city has to advance the funds.

And that was related to Macawa, is that right? Yes, sir. So Macawa's a little bit different. If we put the total cost from that Macawa project in the CIP, that would inflate our rates. So our agreement with TxDOT is only to pay our portion, and we would pay our portion up front. So the CIP does not fully reflect the total cost of the project. It only reflects the city's expected expenditures. The total right now, I think, on that AFA is about $120 million. Does it include the bridge or bridges? Yes, it does include bridges. Okay.

Right. And then the other kind of toward the QR code, it's more, I guess, a program question because I tried to click on the link. Well, I clicked on the link, so it takes me to the capital improvement website, which is a great website. But that doesn't include any of these projects because they haven't been approved yet, correct? Correct.

Correct. And the only ones listed in this webpage are the active projects. And what we identify as an active project is if we have a contract with a vendor.

Okay, and then so once these get approved in CIP and they get into a certain stage, whether it be planning or engineering or construction, then those will go on that website?

Yes, as if we, let's say a project's just in the study phase and we have finalized the professional services agreement, that project will be on the list. If we started the design and we have a contract finalized, that would be on the list. If we're still negotiating a contract, that would not be on the list until that contract is finalized.

So where do we get the detail information of the projects that are on the list in here if it's not on the website?

I think we could provide that to you.

Like the limits? Because that's really what I was, because it says the scope and limits of work. And so if it's only active projects, which I understand, then where can we get kind of the scope of what the project is so that we could look at it a little bit more?

This list is finalized when the council approved the budget and then that comes out of the CIP. But if you'd like more detail, I can provide that to you next time we present on June 1st.

So are you asking for the details on the projects that are in this presentation?

Right, because again, if you're looking at that last page that's up right there, over to the left it says the scope and limits of work, but when you click on the link, it's only active projects, which don't include these. I was just looking for a little bit more detail on these projects that were presented tonight, so if they're not on here, which the level of detail on the website for the active projects is enough, right? And so, yeah, that's what I was looking for.

And so typically, and especially for like the active projects, right, we still have another few projects, 10, 20 projects maybe, maybe a little bit more, that may not be active projects but are still in the CIP that are included on, if you navigate to finances webpage and go to the budget book and click into the five-year CIP, then all the details for the current approved CIP projects are in that budget book. That level of detail won't be published until CIP and the budget gets approved by council and we publish the FY27 budget.

Perfect, thank you.

One thing I'm gonna make clear, we did this to Fabiola last time and we're not gonna do it again. She came in here with a 400-sheet report and it was very detailed and everything but and then we We told her that was too much and she scaled it down for us. She scaled this down for us. If we can go into the website and find the information that we wanna look at, we don't need to have her come out and try to do a presentation to give us all the scopes and the jobs and stuff like that. That's something that we can dig up on our own.

Right, and that's why I was asking because of that specifically.

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure that. Now, let me ask you on the parks. uh the the all-inclusive park and stuff is that figured into this or uh like at independence park that's that's one they've got targeted for the all-inclusive for for handicap and stuff like that is the city doing any of that because i know that we're doing fundraising and stuff to try to get $5 million so we can put into this in order to have the equipment and the advantages for people to be able to, whether it's a parent that's handicapped or whether it's a child that's handicapped.

Yeah, we do have accessibility included in the scope of the project. We haven't started the design yet, but yes, we have that included.

Okay, all right. All right, well, okay, we got another question.

I'm sorry, I have one more question. When I'm looking at the street projects, I'm kind of a numbers girl. And so is there a way going forward where maybe there could be an asterisk or a header or something that tells me on the street projects what projects that we're partnered with TxDOT that we're going to get funding on? I know it's several in there, right? I guess because I'm newer to the city, I figured a few of them, but then there were some I didn't know. And you don't have to answer that now. But just as someone that was on city council, that's something that I like to look at.

So looking at this list, is TR-2101?

Yeah, that was the one I was pretty sure.

TR-2502? 0601, 26, no, not 26, no. Can you go to the next slide?

Yeah, I think that's it. Okay, those four? Perfect, thank you. You're welcome.

Commissioner Knight, one more question. I think you said it, and I just want to make sure I understand it. All of these numbers, it says total projected funding, but that is the city's net, correct? That's what the city's responsible for, because those DOT projects, this is only the city's portion. This is not the 100% amount, correct?

This is the total cost of the project.

For the city or for the whole project?

It's for the whole project, but there are certain, but then the city's portion and some of these projects where we get reimbursement, but sometimes we have to advance the funds.

Okay, so I'm still, I think I'm hearing two different, it's going in circles here, but for me, so like the McCalla project, how much did you have in here for that one? 60, there it is. That's at TR0601. Okay, so that's 64 million, is that city's?

City's portion.

That's the city's portion?

City's portion.

So this is basically the net to the city.

It would depend. Some project, the city needs to come up with the full amount and then get reimbursed. So we would have to advance those funds. Okay. And this one, this case, because they are gonna be overseeing the construction, we are paying our portion. But if we do have, there are certain projects, it all depends on the agreement that we have with the agency.

Okay.

I had something that I, just a general comment for all of us. Wood Creek, I saw Wood Creek in here a couple of times. I think one was streets and it was substantial. And I think the other was maybe drainage or... There's a water line. Sewer or water line. Mm-hmm. And it makes me think, Wood Creek, my sister moved into Wood Creek, bought a brand new house back years and years and years ago. It just makes me think that's an older neighborhood, right, compared to Silver Lake, Shadow Creek, you know, those, Avalon. And it brings back to me that larger lots, widths, the cost per house is significant. You know, when we We were tasked years ago to keep 60 foot. I mean, we want 60 foot and bigger, larger lots, right? But you take a 50 foot lot versus an 80 foot lot, and now you say, I'm going to run a new water line or a new street. That cost is 60% more just in the geography alone. So I guess I'm saying I'm more cognizant now, and I'm more favorable to smaller lots. For affordability and for this type thing, 20, 30, 40, 50 years from now, we're going to be building a whole bunch of more roads in Shadow Creek and all these other neighborhoods that are newer in today's world, but they won't be 50 years from now. So just a side comment. Thank you again. Great presentation.

Okay, thank you, Fabiello and Lorenzo. Y'all did a great job. All right, that ends this discussion unless Vance has got something he wants to say. Good. All right, that takes it to City Council update report.

Hello again, Commissioner. So we've had two meetings of City Council since the last time we met as a Planning and Zoning Commission without being a workshop. The first was May 11th. There was a CUP for an accessory dwelling unit at 13025 Wilkie Road. The vote for that was unsuccessful with a vote of zero to seven. Then there was a CUP for the adult daycare with the neighborhood services district at 7924 Broadway, Suite 102. It passed with a vote of seven to zero. On May 18th, so last night, there was a zone change for the 9.143 acres from Spectrum 3 and Spectrum 4 districts to the Eleanor Creek plan development. It passed by a vote of 7-1 for first reading. And a CUP for sheltered care facility, the Forgotten Angels site at 3301 Industrial in GB, it passed with a vote of 7-0. 7-0 on the zone change as well. I'm sorry, I skipped that line. The CUP for the convenience store or quick trip at 4213 McCard was approved with conditions. It was the staff conditions including the access to the rear property, building facades to conform to the picture, and the columns to be wrapped with masonry. That was approved with conditions 7-0 as well. The next regular P&C meeting is June 1st. at 6.30, and the next PZ Council workshop is June 8th at 5 p.m., and that's all.

June, at five o'clock, it's a workshop.

I believe the workshops are going to actually be three to five and five to six. I need to confirm that. But the topics are going to be we're going to have a UDC update to cover the trigger tables. That's going to be another two-hour workshop. And the goal there will be to cover both trigger tables, both meaning the normal one of just if a business, an existing business does work, what it takes to, you know, what are the triggers or thresholds to make them have to come into compliance with landscaping or signage. normal trigger table for regular development, and then the other one's gonna be a trigger table related to nonconformities created by the tech stop widening. And so if your property was impacted 15%, what should they have to put back? And just talk through some of those items. And then the, so that's the UDC update. And then the other workshop, which would be the one hour one, is we have a bill to rent community that an applicant would like to discuss at Ower and Broadway. It's about 20 acres in that area. by the new Braun development.

Where's it located?

It's west side of town. It's just west of Colon. Oh, behind Hash Kitchen, the new Braun development. But yeah, County Road, Smith Road or County Road 666. Okay. Those are the two workshop topics.

All righty. Well, if nobody has any more questions, we're going to adjourn this meeting at 742.

Thank you.
