Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
3519 Liberty Drive
Pearland, TX 77581
Re: Recommendation on Zone Change Application No. 1215, a request by E. M.
Polker and Rick Brumley, owners, for an amendment to the Land Use and Urban
Development Ordinance of said City from classification Suburban Development
District (SD) to General Business District (GB)
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members:
At their regular meeting of February 21, 2005, the Planning and Zoning Commission
considered the request for a zone change from Suburban Development District (SD) to
General Business District (GB) on the following property:
Legal Description:
Lots 1, 2, 13, and 14, Block 2, of Cas Con Acres, Abstract 509,
H.T. & B.R.R. Company Survey, City of Pearland, Brazoria
County, Texas
General Location: Generally Located on the East Side of Harkey Road, on the
South Side of Willow Street, and on the North Side of
Cottonwood Street
Commission Member Ransom made a motion to recommend approval of the zone change
request, which was seconded by Commission Member West. The motion to approve failed
0 — 6. The zone change was denied. The Commission stated the reasons for denial as
follows:
1. The proposed zone change is not in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed zone change has the potential to cause negative impacts on the
surrounding residential zoning districts and residential land uses.
Sincerely,
Planning and Zoning Commission

A request by E. M. Polker and Rick Brumley, owners, for an
amendment to the Land Use and Urban Development
Ordinance of said City from classification Suburban
Development District (SD) to General Business District (GB)
LEGAL Lots :1, 2, 13, and 14, Block 2, of Cas Con Acres, Abstract 509,
DESCRIPTION: H.T: & B.R.R. Company Survey, City of Pearland,' Brazoria

GENERAL Generally Located on the East Side of Harkey Road, on"the
LOCATION: South Side of Willow Street, and on the North Side of
Cottonwood Street
APPROVAL PROCESS: After this Joint Public Hearing, the requested zone change
application will be considered as follows:
Planning and Zoning Commission:. February 21, 2005
City Council for First Reading: March 21, 2005
City Council for Second Reading: March 28, 2005
SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting a change in zoning on the subject property,
approximately 2 acres, for general business district uses. The subject property was
annexed into the City in 1997 and subsequently zoned SD. The subject property consists
of 4 lots, the northern two of which are undeveloped, and the southern two Tots are
developed with warehouse and storage buildings. The applicant has indicated that they
plan to construct general business, retail, office, and storage uses on the subject property if
the zone change is approved.

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 four lots that comprise the
subject property exceeds these minimum requirements.
It appears that the applicant intends to develop the subject property as one building site.
Therefore, the applicant may be responsible for submitting a subdivision plat to combine
these lots into one lot for one building site.
CONFORMANCE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan (2004
update adopted on July 26, 2004) recommends "Low Density Residential" for the subject
property and for all of the surrounding properties on Harkey Road, Willow Street, and
Cottonwood Street. 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, since the proposed zone
change for GB provides for non-residential uses, the proposed zone change does not
conform to the Comprehensive Plan.
CONFORMANCE TO THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The subject property has frontage
on Harkey Road, a secondary thoroughfare with an ultimate right-of-way of 100 feet. The
subject property also has frontage on Cottonwood Street and Willow Street, which are both
ZCA No. 1215
Page 2
local/residential street. The Thoroughfare Plan does not specify any improvements to
Cottonwood Street nor Willow Street. The applicant may be required to dedicate right-of-
way for Harkey Road when and if the subject property is platted, if adequate right-of-way
does not exist for this roadway.
No other roadways affect the subject property.
IMPACT ON EXISTING AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT: The requested zone change to
General Business District has the potential to cause negative impacts on the surrounding
properties and residential lots within the subject area. The east/west streets intersecting
Harkey Road, such as Terrell Drive, Sharondale Street, Cottonwood Street, and Willow
Street, are largely developed with single family residences and many are zoned as R-1.
Several of the SD lots are developed with either single family residences or mobile home
residences. A large tract zoned for R-3 currently exists further to the north on Harkey
Road, and is proposed to be developed as a future phase of a residential subdivision.
Along the west side of Harkey Road; there are a couple of non-residential uses. A day
care has been approved by a Specific Use Permit for the R-E zoned tract on the south side
of Terrell Drive, and south of the day care tract is a septic system company.
Introducing a GB tract within this largely residential area could have a negative impact on
the surrounding residential lots as well as the neighborhood as a whole. The proposed GB
uses will bring in additional traffic, business, and noise that is associated with a retail stripe
center.
Upon the subject property, there currently exists several metal buildings used for
warehousing and storage, and all are non -conforming uses. It is anticipated that, due to
the largely residential area surrounding the subject property on all sides, that the existing
storage buildings will be removed and the subject property will transition to single family
residential lots for the construction of individual single family residences.
If the zone change for GB is approved, the applicant may be responsible for the submittal
of a traffic impact analysis (TIA) in order to determine the impact of the proposed
development on adjacent roadways and adjacent properties, as well as the locations of
driveways.
The existing uses and buildings on the subject property are currently classified as non-
conforming uses, but they can continue to operate and exist as long as the use is not
changed or enlarged.
In November of 2003, the property owner of two lots at the northeast corner of Harkey
Road and Larrycrest Drive (two streets north of the subject property) submitted a zone
change to Neighborhood Service District (NS), and the intent was to redevelop an existing
convenience store on that lot for neighborhood service district uses. That request was
ZCA No. 1215

denied by the Planning and Zoning Commission, tabled by the City Council, and eventually
withdrawn by the applicant, due to many of the same concerns mentioned here.
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.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the zone change for GB, as
proposed by the applicant, for the following reasons:
1. The proposed zone change for GB does not conform to the "Low Density
Residential" land use designation as recommended by the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed zone change for -GB is inconsistent and incompatible with existing R-
1 residential districts and single family residential land uses within the subject area.
3. The proposed zone change for GB has the potential to cause .negative impact on
the surrounding residential land use by introducing an increase in traffic, service
vehicles, noise, as well as other impacts brought about by non-residential land uses.
