adjacent to a Multiple Family (MF) zoned parcel of land developed as Park Place
Apartments.
2. The location is not at an entrance to residential neighborhoods.
3. The proposed use is a retail use of similar size and intensity to the surrounding retail and
commercial uses and therefore compatible.
4. The location in an established shopping center and mitigates the potential for negative
aesthetics or activity that might accompany this type of retail use.
5. The applicant has not proposed any modifications to the suite, such as bars over the
windows or additional light, which would negatively affect the surrounding businesses.
If the CUP is considered for approval, staff recommends the following conditions:

commented on the completion of both locations. Councilmember Derrick Reed had no
comment. Councilmember Tony Carbone commented the approval of one location and not
the other. Mr. Carbone was in favor of approval with the Staff recommendations and
inquired if the UDC can be updated to cover the bars being over or behind the windows and
neon and LED strip lighting around the doors or windows would be prohibited. '
Councilmember Keith Ordeneaux stated he doesn't believe the governing body should set
a market and feels liquor stores is a use that should require a CUP to have strider control
for the citizens. Mr. Ordeneaux is undecided of both liquor stores locations and what would
JPH MINUTES -APRIL 17, 2017
be the requirements for the inside of the liquor stores. Mayor Reid commented on the
location.

A request of Sheelah Taylor, applicant, on behalf of ST Shadow Creek LLC, owner, '
represented by Tri Nguyen; for approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow for an
Auto Wash (Self -Service) in the Planned Development (PD) zoning district; on
approximately 1.4012 acres of land.
JPH MINUTES -APRIL 17, 2017
Legal Description: Being a 1.4012 acre (61,036 square feet) parcel of land situated in the
T.C.R.R. CO. Survey, Abstract 675, in Brazoria County Texas, and being all of Lot "D" of
Shadow Creek Ranch Commercial Site No. 18B, as recorded under File Number
PF 2007035195 of Brazoria County Public Records (B.C.P.R.).
General Location: 11213 & 11233 Shadow Creek Parkway, Pearland, TX.
APPLICATION INFORMATION AND CASE SUMMARY
Senior Planner Martin Griggs presented the staff report, exhibits and reported that Staff
recommends denial of the requested CUP for an auto wash (self-service) on the
approximately 1.4012 acre site for the following reasons:
1. The proposed development proposes to place two retail uses on one lot. This
combination of uses on the single lot has the potential to exacerbate traffic concerns as the
uses share an access passage parallel to Shadow Creek Parkway. While the services
provided are worthwhile, the density and the location leaves little room for landscape and
additional measures to help mitigate the site and surrounding developments. The service
nature of the proposed use is compatible with the existing office to the rear of the
development, however, the concentration of uses is too dense for the site. The two retail
uses are proposed on a single lot that is approximately only twelve feet larger than a similar
lot just down the street where a proposed Chick-Fil-A will be the only user.
If the CUP is considered for approval, staff recommends the following conditions:
' 1. The attached site plan will be amended to have a six foot minimum planting strip be
provided against the access drive along the west property line for adequate landscaping to
be provided. The current site plan proposes three feet which is inadequate for plant -life to
prosper in.
Representative for Bluewave Autowash Express, 9764 Whithom Dr., Houston, TX 77095,

COUNCILIPLANNING COMMISSION/STAFF DISCUSSION
Councilmember Trent Perez had concerns with the traffic and asked Staff if the proposed
site would be in conformance with the UDC, Community Development Director Lata
Krishnarao explained the use for this site would conform with UDC if the applicant met the
requirements proposed. Councilmember Tony Carbone commented on the process of a
' CUP and amendments of the UDC. Councilmember Greg Hill asked Staff to clarify if
applicant had previously applied and what items had changed. Senior Planner Martin Griggs
explained the self-service and full service conditions. Councilmember Keith Ordeneaux
asked Staff if this use would have been allowed without a CUP in the past. Staff answered
JPH MINUTES -APRIL 17, 2017
yes. Mr. Ordeneaux was in favor. Councilmember Gary Moore had no issue with the use.
Councilmember Derrick Reed made comment on the entrance and exits of the site, had
concerns approving the CUP but not the second empty lot. Councilmember Tony Carbone
asked Staff for clarification on the reason why two parcels are being presented for approval '
but only one carwash will be on the location. Senior Planner Martin Griggs explained the
two addresses were set up for two different businesses which was proposed previously.
Mayor Tom Reid had a concern with the look and ambience of the carwash and area.
Councilmember Trent Perez asked Staff for the lot dimensions. Senior Planner Martin
Griggs gave feedback.
P&Z Chairperson Daniel Tunstall commented on the risk of no approval for a variance on
the second piece of property leaving it unusable per the UDC. P&Z Commissioner Derrell
Isenberg had concerns with the noise level the carwash would bring.

General Location: Approximately 2900 feet East of FM 1128 on the south side of McKeever
Road (CR 100) extending east to the southwest comer of the future intersection of
McKeever and Harkey Roads, and south and southeastto the future Hastings Cannon Road
and east of the future Harkey Road, Pearland, TX.
APPLICATION INFORMATION AND CASE SUMMARY
Senior Planner Martin Griggs presented the staff report, exhibits and reported that at this
time, staff cannot recommend approval of the requested change in zoning from RE to PD
on the approximately 370.482 acre site for the following reasons:
1. Lot Sizes & Density: The above configuration of lot widths 50/20/20/10 (R-1 to R-1)
percentages does not meet the expectations that were expressed by staff to the applicant
based on input from City Council. Staffs request was for lot widths of 0/35/45/20 (R-4 to R-
1) percentages. The base zoning proposed is R-3 (60' lot width) but they have proposed
50% of their lots meeting the UDC requirements for R-4. Instead of just calling it R-4, which
is in conformance with their proposed 55' lot width, they are calling it R-3 and asking for a
5' foot reduction in lot width. They are also calling their R-2 lots as R-1 lots. Below is the
UDC lot minimum requirements followed by the applicant's proposal along with the history
of their lot size by submittal. The developer has stated that our Pearland market supports
55 foot lots and not lots of any larger size. Attached is Exhibit 8 which shows the area from
south of Magnolia, east to Manvel Road, west of the railroad tracks and north of Bailey. As
you will see no 55' lots currently exist in this market and the market has only produced
larger lots. Almost all of this area has developed over the last 20 years and currently
Meritage, KB Homes and Gehan are all constructing or proposing to construct homes in the
immediate market that are on 65' and 70' lots. The proposed lot size is a substantial
variation from the existing RE zoning for Rogers Tract that requires a minimum 120' lot
' width, and the adopted Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) recommended R-1 zoning that
requires a minimum of 80' lot width. The proposal will result in an increase in overall gross
density from 1.8 units per acre to 2.6 units per acre, an increase of approximately 284 lots
(42%) from what R-1 would be expected to yield.
JPH MINUTES -APRIL 17, 2017
2. Phasing: There is no commitment to the number of lots by size in any phase of the
development. The completion of the amenities shown are not directly tied to a specific
phase of the development'. This level of detail will be beneficial to ensure there is no
ambiguity between staff and the developer when the property is platted to ensure which '
amenities need to be completed before final plat and when Subdivision Improvements
Agreement are necessary. It will also ensure homeowners in the initial phase will have some
certainty on access to amenities.
3. Landscaping, Amenities, and Subdivision Identification Signs: The PD density isn't
offset by significant amenities or recreational areas. No breakdown of the 75 acres of open
space is given in the PD but the majority would be detention.
A. Landscaping Standards: The proposed landscaping standards for McKeever must meet
the Corridor Overlay District standards and R was requested that Harkey, and Hastings
Cannon Roads also meet the Corridor Overlay District standards for buffer width, street and
ornamental trees. The provided specifications meet the street tree planting requirement but
do not address ornamental trees standard for the Corridor Overlay District. The proposed
buffer widths meet the requirement for McKeever but Harkey and Hastings Cannon are only
twenty feet instead of thirty feet.
B. Amenities: This development is remote from other recreational attractions or public
spaces and as such should expand the opportunities for its future residents. The amenity
package presented in the PD document is limited in nature and includes land not owned by
the developer as discussed below. Staff would like to see expanded amenity opportunities
throughout the development including but not limited to enhancing walk or bike trails
connecting all portions of the development (safe and healthy community goal) and a variety
of open space such as a medium size park.
C. Access to Amenities: The proposed text in the PD description maintains that all lots will
be within a quarter mile of an amenitized open space, however this is not included in the '
PD standards applicable to the development and the design plan.
D. Signage: The proposed subdivision identification signs in the PD do not provide enough
information regarding the dimensions of signage. In the UDC, these signs would be limited
to 120 square feet. The proposed sign appears to be larger than permitted.
4. Residential Facade Treatment: The Council requested staff to find a way to increase
value for each residential unit. One way to do this is with increased facade standards. The
applicant proposes 90% standard for masonry, stone, or glass for the front or any portion
of the building visible from a public street or common area. However, only a 50% standard
is proposed for the side and rear facades of all other buildings. Staff requested an increase
in the percentage of masonry, brick, or glass for the side and rear elevations. The
recommendation was not incorporated into the proposed PD document.
5. Connectivity: The design plan should include internal and external connectivity. The trapezoid
shaped lot to the south of the Massey tract, which is in the City of Pearland's ETJ, and the properties
to the north and east of the Rogers tract should have stub streets provided to maintain connectivity,
reduce the burden of larger collector streets, and provide secondary access for future expansion of
development.
6. Greenway Corridor/CenterPoint Property: The current fee strip owned by CenterPoint
Energy through the Rogers tract is being counted towards the overall open space allotment
as a Greenway Corridor. This 13.6 acre strip would provide access and recreational
opportunities; however, the UDC does not allow property not owned by the applicant to be
counted towards this requirement. Additionally, the UDC excludes utility easements from 1
the definition of open space. This strip of land is the largest open space of the development
and R amenities are not provided then the development will become even denser or open
space will need to be provided elsewhere. It is unclear how the applicant would meet the
1PH MINUTES -APRIL 17, 2017
minimum UDC open space requirement of 20% of gross area of the PD. No alternative to
make up for this 13.6 acre Greenway Corridor is provided by the applicant.
If the zone change is considered for approval, staff recommends the following conditions:
' 1. Lot Size: The minimum lot size needs to be increased. Lot width will be no less than 60'
with the following distribution of lots in the other three categories — no more than 35% of 60'
wide lots; no less than 45% of 70' width lots; and no less than 20% of 80' wide lots. The
minimum depth of the lots will be 110 feet for the 60' lots and 120'feet for the 75' and 85'.
The lot descriptions will conform to the City's UDC requirements for R-1, R-2 and R-3.
2. Phasing: Provide a minimum percentage of each lot size type that is proportionate to the
overall distribution of lot -widths to be presented in every phase so that there is diversity in
lot types within all portions of the development. Each phase, tied to a total number of lots
per phase, should also provide a detailed list matching the amenities package.
3. Amenities: Provide a list of all amenities per phase by number of lots with the amenities
quantity, size and location. The Allee and the Grove and/or Massey Lake Park should be
completed before the first final plat and additional amenities will be completed according to
an agreed upon schedule. The landscaping standards for McKeever, Harkey, and Hastings
Cannon Roads will meet the Corridor Overlay District standards for street and ornamental
trees and Hastings Cannon and Harkey landscape buffer will be 30 feet. Modify the design
plan and include in the PD standards applicable to the development that all lots will be within
a quarter mile of an amenitized open space. Provide dimensional standards for the
subdivision identification signs that do not exceed UDC requirements.
4. Fagade: All buildings will meet the 90% standard for masonry, stone, or glass for all
portions of the building.
5. Connectivity: Provide revised exhibits and text within the PD stating that connections
' will be provided to adjacent tracts of land not currently within this development.
6. Greenway Corridor/CenterPoint Property: Without the CenterPoint property, the PD
does not provide a substantial meaningful open space. Applicant needs to acquire the
CenterPoint property or provide an alternate location to make up for the 13.6 acres of open
space and related amenities for this portion of the development.
7. School Districts: The Massey tract is partly within the Peadand Independent School
District and partly within the Alvin Independent School District (AISD) as shown on
Exhibit 9. The Rodgers tract is entirely within the AISD. The applicant will not plat any lot
that is located in two school districts.
