addressed 4033 Manvel Road, Pearland TX.
APPLICATION INFORMATION AND CASE SUMMARY
Planning Manager Martin Griggs presented the Staff report with exhibits and informed that
1 call and 5 comment forms had been received opposed _to the request. Staff did not
recommend approval of a change in the zoning classification from the Suburban
Residential -12 (SR -12) zoning district to General Business (GB) zoning district:
1. The proposed change in zoning is not in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and
the Future Land Use Plan.
• A small portion of the site is located within a "minor retail node". That node should not be
used as justification to further break up the consistency of the SR -12 zoned properties
surrounding on three sides.
2. The proposed change in zoning allows an expanded number of land uses.
• These uses may present a nuisance to the established neighborhood surrounding the
subject property.
• The UDC requirements for Corridor Overlay District and Residential Landscape Buffers
will significantly reduce the develop -able portion of land.
3. The proposed change in zoning will not have significant impact on streets, water, sanitary
sewer, or other public utilities.
• A sanitary sewer line will need to be extended from Heron Lane in order for this property
to be developed.
