Senior Planner Harold Ellis presented the staff report stating the property was currently
zoned General Business (GB) and the Future Land Use Plan indicated Retail, Offices,
and Services for the subject property. The site is two structures but one shopping
center. A florist previously occupied this site. A CUP is required for a Furniture Repair
Business to operate in the GB zone, with no outside storage or activity allowed. Two
additional parking spaces are required and the applicant is willing to provide the needed
spaces. Staff recommends approval of CUP 2011-09 with one condition:
1) Two additional parking spaces to be constructed on site, which can be
accomplished on existing paving, by adding a stripe.
Mr. Dale Jones, applicant, of 5705 Apple Springs Drive, Pearland, TX spoke briefly of
starting this repair shop one year ago, while doing the repairs in his customers home;
however, 50-60% of the repairs needed to be brought to a shop.
Council Member Woody Owens asked why two additional parking spaces were needed
in a shopping center that already existed.
Senior Planner Harold Ellis stated that the parking standards were slightly higher for
furniture repair shops.
Council Member Woody Owens inquired if there was room to add two additional parking
spaces.
Senior Planner Harold Ellis replied yes, there was room on the side of the building that
would involve restriping.
P&Z Commissioner Neil West asked the applicant if any special equipment would be
required for painting. Mr. Dale Jones replied, no.
