Councilmember Derrick Reed clarified the subject property would not be part of the Shadow
Creek Ranch community and added that eight public storage facilities where within a mile
radius of each other in that specific area. Mr. Reed had concerns with the height of the
building and was not in favor of a three story storage facility. Councilmember Tony Carbone
questioned the Office Professional zone change for this location and City Planner Frankie
Legaux explained the Office Professional zoning district would conform to the land use of
the Future Land Use designation. Mr. Carbone feels the traffic would not increase and thinks
the facility makes good use of the land and is not completely against it. Mayor Tom Reid
commented that he would like the community to continue to become more attractive as
possible and with a high density area due to the high school, the proposed facility would be
best if it was built in a less prominent area. Councilmember Keith Ordeneaux explained his
decision would be based on the future land use and what would be best long term for the '
City. Mr. Ordeneaux does not agree with the Public -Semi Public zoning and would rather
see facility in a different location, does not totally support. Councilmember Greg Hill clarified
that the Shadow Creek Ranch Community was part of the City of Pearland and agreed that

something else better suited for the land. Councilmember Gary Moore commented that the
' property had been vacant for fifteen years and understood and explained about future
development on the property but wasn't sure a storage facility would be best use of the
property. P&Z Commissioner Darrell Isenberg was in favor of the facility. PSZ Chairperson
Daniel Tunstall did not see a strong reason to oppose it.
