Yoakum Survey, Abstract 399, and the A.C.H. & B.

The Commission stated that the Comprehensive Plan was just adopted by the city, and proposed zone changes should stay in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Greiner made a motion to approve, and Vice Chairman Iocco seconded. Motion to approve failed 0-7. Sincerely, Planning and Zoning Commission and cc: Vivian Naeve (owner), 1201 Cowards Creek, Friendswood, TX 77546 Clarinda Robertson, 2118 '/2 Lake Road, La Marque, TX 77568 - October 5, 2004 Pearland City Council Pearland, Texas Subject: #1189 Rezoning Request Dear Mr. Mayor and City Council Members: Clarinda Robertson — President and Linda Carr — Vice President of Sensational Event Solutions, Inc., namely SES, propose to bring to the Pearland community an exciting breath of fresh air in the event -planning market. By building The Crystal Atrium combined with beautiful landscaping, old fashioned values, going the extra mile, and using cutting edge event -planning techniques, SES plans to join with the Pearland community in creating a much needed meeting place to make Pearland the place to live, grow, and be entertained. After much searching, a 21-acre tract of land along Pearland Parkway and John Lizer in Pearland was decided as the perfect place to start construction. The acreage has been surveyed and is scheduled to be platted, tree studied, and topographied. For the progression of the project, SES respectfully requests that the 18.326 acres that faces John Lizer be rezoned from Residential 1 to General Business to -conform with the 3.14-acre tract of land facing Pearland Parkway that is already zoned General Business. The following listing is a brief description of the usage of the 18.326 and 3.14 tract sites: Professional landscaping will be maintained along Pearland Parkway and John Lizer with twenty feet of the natural tree line that is currently surrounding the properties being preserved. All efforts will be made to protect as many of the abundant trees and shrubs as possible. The entrance on Pearland Parkway will be approximately 60-70 ft in width with lighted cascading waterfalls and pillars on both sides. The driveway to The Crystal Atrium will have lighted fountains dividing the entrance and exit lanes. 1. The Crystal Atrium This facility is nothing the event community has ever seenoutside of elaborate hotel ballrooms. Even then, the hotel ballrooms don't furnish the soothing and enjoyable landscape and atmosphere that will be naturally included in each event planned. The building is 38,950 sq ft and will consist of one room with a 750. capacity, two rooms with a 300 capacity each, one room with a 175 capacity, two bride's rooms, two groom's rooms, four offices, one conference room, restrooms, storage room, mechanical room, laundry room, employee break room, professional kitchen, floral room, two conservatory atriums, and two large patios with pergola arbors. The rooms themselves will be decorated in such a manner that no additional decorating will be needed other than choice of color theme and floor plan. Services of music, menu, and photographer for the event are the only additional decisions. 2. Mary's Creek Wedding Chapel A beautiful, quaint 2700 sq ft wedding chapel is to be constructed on the premises of The Crystal Atrium to accommodate those that choose to get married closer to their receptions or cannot find a suitable church in the timeframe they need. It will feature large stain glass windows, seating for 250, music/audio capabilities, and a horse-drawn carriage to carry the newlywed couple to their destination, whether that be to an outside reception, inside reception at The Crystal Atrium, or their waiting vehicles if their reception is at another center. 3. Greenhouse A 2400 sq ft working greenhouse used to supply the floral and plant demands of the entire facilities and outside orders of Special Days, a rental division of SES, will also be housed on the premises. The greenhouse will be crafted similar to an old-fashioned plant conservatory in order to enhance the landscape of the project. In conclusion, both Linda Carr and myself would like to thank you for your time and consideration concerning this rezoning request; and as a company with a mission of pleasing the clients and community we serve, we welcome any suggestions concerning this project with open arms and an open mind.

" Existing Zoning: Requested Zoning: Location or Address of Property: Property Owner: Applicant: JOINT PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2004 ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION NO. 1189 Single Family Dwelling District (R-1) General Business District (GB) Generally Located on the North Side of John Lizer Road, and East of Pearland Parkway Vivien Naeve Clarinda Robertson SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting a change in zoning on the subject property for general business district uses. The subject property is currently undeveloped. The zone change application indicates that the applicant is proposing to construct a new event center facility on the subject property if thezone change is approved. SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES: North Zoning General Business District (GB) South Single Family Dwelling District (R-1) East Suburban Development District (SD); Single Family Dwelling District (R-2) Land Use Church; Senior Living Facility Undeveloped tract Undeveloped tracts Zone Change Application No. 1189 Page 1 West JOINT PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2004 General Business District Undeveloped tracts (GB) CONFORMANCE TO THE LAND USE AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE: The applicant is requesting a GB zoning district. The minimum lot size for the GB district is 22,500 square feet and the minimum lot width is 150 feet. The subject property meets these requirements; the subject property is approximately 18 acres in size and over 380 feet in width along John Lizer Road. The applicant will be responsible for complying with all other space limitations of the GB zoning district. CONFORMANCE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan (2004 update adopted on July 26, 2004) recommends Low Density Residential for the subject property. The Comprehensive Plan further indicates that the appropriate zoning districts for Low Density Residential are the Estate Lot Single Family Dwelling District (R-E) and the Single Family Dwelling District R-1. Therefore, the proposed zone change does not conform to the Comprehensive Plan. CONFORMANCE TO THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The subject property has frontage on John Lizer Road, a secondary thoroughfare with an ultimate right-of-way of 100 feet. No other roadways affect the subject property. The applicant may be required to submit a traffic impact analysis (TIA) for the subject property when it is submitted for development, in order to determine the impact of the proposed development on the surrounding streets, and in order to determine the locations of driveways. IMPACT ON EXISTING AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT: The proposed zone change should have minimal impact on surrounding properties. Although the Comprehensive Plan recommends Low Density Residential uses for the subject property, the subject property may be more suited for General Business uses. The Comprehensive Plan also recommends that the area between the subject property and Pearland Parkway be Low Density Residential, also. However, that property is already zoned General Business. A creek exists to the north of the subject property. The creek is a natural feature that serves as a buffer between the single family residential uses to the north and east, to the general business along Pearland Parkway and John Lizer Road. Zone Change Application No. 1189 Page 2 JOINT PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2004 The Comprehensive Plan adopted in July 2004 contains a checklist of items that should be reviewed when considering deviations from the Comprehensive Plan. Since the proposed zone change does notconform to the Comprehensive Plan, it is important to review this checklist: • Will the proposed development enhance the City economically? • Will the proposed development enhance the City aesthetically? • Is the proposed development consistent with the City's vision, goals, and/or objectives? • Is the proposed development a better use of land/property, both for the owner/developer and the City, than that recommended by the Plan? • Will the proposed development impact adjacent residential areas in a positive or negative manner? • Will the proposed development have adequate access — have considerations been made for roadway capacity, ingress and egress, traffic impact? • Are uses adjacent tothe proposed development similar in nature in terms of appearance, hours of operation, and other general, aspects of compatibility? •. Does the proposed development present a significant benefit to the public health, safety, and welfare of the community? Staff is of the opinion that the creek serves as a buffer between the existing residential uses and any non-residential uses, thereby decreasing any incompatibility between uses. Any deviation from the Comprehensive Plan should be an improvement over what is recommended within the Plan. It is Staffs opinion that the proposed GB at this major intersection would better serve the subject area. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Public notice/comment forms were mailed to property owners within 200 feet of the subject property under consideration. A legal notice of public hearing was published in the local newspaper, and a Zoning Sign was placed on the subject property. Zone Change Application No. 1189 Page 3 JOINT PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2004 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the zone change for General Business District as proposed by the applicant, for the following reasons: 1. Although contrary to the Comprehensive Plan designation of Low Density Residential, the subject tract is located at a major intersection and would be separated from residential uses by a creek, which would serve as a buffer between uses. 2. The proposed zone change is consistent with existing General Business Districts located along Pearland Parkway.

THANK YOU, Sept. 29, 2004 Dear Mayor Tom Reid and Pearland City Council Members: I wholeheartedly agree with the Pearland Planning and Zoning. Commission to keep the property abutting John Lizer and Pearland Parkway (Resolution #1189) zoned as Residential and not rezoning it as Commercial Business. I believe any business would be intrusive on the surrounding neighborhoods as well as the high school, but, even more so, the proposed Event Center and possible Convention Center would adversely affect all of the surrounding neighborhoods. Businesses, especially an event center, would be very detrimental to this highly -residential area causing the devaluation of our property, traffic problems (bussing event participants from the high school and First Baptist Church has been mentioned), and possibly bringing more crime and litter to our area as well as more noise. The 2004 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Pearland addresses the need to keep a large portion of the City of Pearland as residential. There are several idea: sights for a Convention Center in Pearland that are not embedded in a residential area. Before purchasing our homes, many of us reviewed the City's zoning maps and bought homes in our subdivisions knowing we would be bordered by other homes and Independence Park - making the area by the high school a very nice place to live. Please preserve our neighborhoods and the homes we have worked so hard to acquire. Please vote to keep the land located off of Pearland Parkway and John Lizer residential.

"John Black" To: <tgrahmann@ci.pearland.tx.us> <johnb@houcomm.co cc: m> Subject: Rezoning Application 1189 09/27/2004 04:04 PM I am emailing to express my strong disapproval of rezoning application 1189 (John Lizer @ Pearland Parkway). Changing this land to general business and allowing an event/convention center to be built will be detrimental to the surrounding communities. As the treasurer for River Mist Homeowners Association, I feel that our community will be adversely affected by the proposed changes. This will create major traffic problems for our community. We only can only enter and exit our community from 3 entrances.. Two of these are on John Lizer. I am afraid of the intersection turning into what has happened at Beltway 8 and Telephone. It is my responsibility as a board member of the homeowners association to preserve the property values of the homes in our subdivision. The rezoning of this land can only have a negative impact on our property values. This type of facility should be located in a place that can better handle traffic flow (like 518). I plan to attend the council meeting on October 11 along with others that oppose this rezoning. I hope that you will agree with my views and the recommendation of the P&Z committee to deny application 1189. Thank you for your time.

"Charles Court" To: tgrahmann@ci.pearland.tx.us <chipcourt@earthlink. cc: net> Subject: against rezoning Application 1189 09/27/2004 05:27 PM Please respond to chipcourt Dear Ms. Grahmann, I'm a resident home owner in the Rivermist subdivision. I want to thank you for being so helpful in providing our HOA board member, Dana Morrison, with the information she sought about the possible rezoning of the acreage north of John Lizer and East of Pearland Parkway. I'd like you to know that I want the City Council to follow the recommendation of the P&Z committee and deny the proposed rezoning (Application 1189). I want the property to remain zoned for single-family residential. My neighbors and I do not want the noise and traffic of an event center or other business district in this residential area. We believe that such a commercial enterprise would lower our quality of life and -lowe'rc our property values. Again, Ms. Grahmann, thank you for your help. Yours sin'erely, Charles V. Court, III 3505 Wheatfield Ct. Pearland, TX 77589 281-412-0328 Sept. 29, 2004 Dear Mayor Tom Reid and Pearland City Council Members: I wholeheartedly agree with the Pearland Planning and Zoning Commission to keep the property abutting John Lizer and Pearland Parkway (Resolution #1189) zoned as Residential and not rezoning it as Commercial Business. I believe any business would be intrusive on the surrounding neighborhoods as well as the high school, but, even more so, the proposed Event Center and possible Convention Center would adversely affect all of the surrounding neighborhoods. Businesses, especially an event center, would be very detrimental to this highly -residential area causing the devaluation of our property, traffic problems (bussing event participants from the high school and First Baptist Church has been mentioned), and possibly bringing more crime and litter to our area as well as more noise. The 2004 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Pearland addresses the need to keep a large portion of the City of Pearland as residential. There are several ideal sights for a Convention Center in Pearland that are not embedded in a residential area. Before purchasing our homes, many of us reviewed the City's zoning maps and bought homes in our subdivisions knowing we would be bordered by other homes and Independence Park — making the area by the high school a very nice place to. live. Please preserve our neighborhoods and the homes we have worked so hard to acquire. Please vote to keep the land located off of Pearland Parkway and John Lizer residential.
