Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
3519 Liberty Drive
Pearland, TX 77581
RE: Recommendation on amendment to the Thoroughfare Plan — Industrial Drive
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members:
At their regular meeting on October 21, 2019, the Planning and Zoning Commission
considered the following:
A request by Justin S. Barnett, representing R. West Development Company,
applicant, on behalf of Triangle 31 LLC, owner, for approval of an amendment to
the City of Pearland Thoroughfare Plan to remove the future extension/alignment
of Industrial Drive which will connect the eastern terminus of the existing right of
way to Dixie Farm Road.
GENERAL LOCATION: Industrial drive extension east to Dixie Farm Road
Commissioner Starr made a motion to approve. Commissioner Wicker seconded the
motion. Planning Manager Griggs presented the staff report and informed that Based on
the analysis of the Thoroughfare Amendment Study performed by Voigt Associates the
City Engineer is NOT in support of the abandonment of the extension of Industrial Drive.
The conclusions within the report were insufficient to establish that the abandonment of
the extension of industrial drive is in the City's best interest, as it was demonstrated that
a connection between SH35 and Dixie Farm would provide additional connectivity and
4
ORDINANCE NO. 1517-3
reduce delay at adjacent intersections within the region. The report indicated somewhat
mixed results as the addition of signalized intersections on Industrial Drive at SH35
and Dixie Farm would cause some additional delay, the signalization of Industrial Drive
and SH35 will most likely be needed regardless of the any additional connections and
would make the land within this region more attractive to development.
Applicant Justin Barnett with R. West Development, 7918 Broadway #104, Pearland TX
77581, gave a presentation and explained the intentions for the amendment request.
Mr. Barnett was available for comments and questions.
Chairperson Tunstall was not in favor of the request because he did not think it was a
proper land use.
The motion was denied by a vote of 2-4. Commissioners Starr and Cade were in favor
of the motion while Chairperson Tunstall, Vice-Chairperson Duncan and Commissioners
Earles and Wicker were not in favor of the motion.
Sincerely,
Martin Griggs, AICP, CNU-A Planning Manager
On behalf of the Planning and Zoning Commission
