Purpose of the Workshop:
Input and Discussion: A request of applicant Kent Marsh, on behalf of the owner Marilyn
Bullard, for a proposed Planned Development known as "Midtown at Magnolia," a mixed
use development on approximately 11.759 acres of land located on the southeast corner
of Magnolia Road and FM 1128 (Manvel Road).
Staff Review:
City Planner Frankie Legaux reported the applicant is proposing to rezone this 11.79 acre
parcel from Single Family Residential (R-1) zoning district to a Planned Development (PD).
The Midtown at Magnolia PD (Planned Development) is located on the southeast corner
of Magnolia Road and FM1128. The site is currently vacant and abuts the City's detention
to the east, and Mary's Creek and single family residential development to the south. The
PD is proposed as a "walkable, mixed use development", with the following components:
1. The commercial component will consist of 4.65 acres along Magnolia Road and FM
1128, with a base zoning of Office Professional (OP), and will be developed with
the following uses:
a. Permitted uses — any of the uses permitted in the OP District. A CVS pharmacy
is proposed on the corner tract located at the intersection of Magnolia Road and
FM 1128.
b. Uses with a Conditional Use permit (CUP) —uses in the OP district that currently
require a CUP will be permitted with the approval of a CUP.

c. Additional permitted uses — restaurants with outdoor seating, not a permitted '
use in the OP district, will be permitted on Tract 2.
2. The residential component will consist of 7.11 acres, with a base zoning of
Townhomes (TH), and will be developed with townhomes.
3. The open space component will include a portion of the TH area. The applicant has
discussed, with Parks & Recreation, the possibility of providing off-site amenities
on the western side of the detention area and north side of Mary's Creek (both
adjacent to the development) to satisfy the parkland dedication requirements of the
UDC. An area of land outside the proposed PD, to the west side of FM 1128 along
Mary's Creek, may also be dedicated as parks to meet the parkland requirement.
Off-site amenities will provide recreational and pedestrian connectivity to the
residential area. To accomplish this, the developer would enter into a mutually
acceptable agreement with the City. If the above mentioned improvements are not
undertaken, then the developer will pay parkland fees and meet the open space
requirements by providing facilities within the boundaries of the PD.
Alan Mueller the applicant on behalf of the owner Marilyn Bullard gave an overview of the
Midtown at Magnolia project.
Councilmember Moore stated this project looks good, he is not in favor of townhomes, but
with the location this is a good project. '
Mayor Pro -Tem Carbone stated he really likes this development and is looking forward
seeing this one come through.
Councilmember Ordeneaux stated he likes this project because there will be 11.7 acres
as residential and 4.65 as commercial. You cannot ask for anything better for a mixed use
project.
Discussion ensued between Council and Alan Mueller regarding moving the curb cut up
along the middle of Magnolia and putting something else next to the CVS pharmacy.
Councilmember Hill stated he thinks this development is great. This is something Pearland
needs.
Mayor Reid stated that area was lacking something and this development will be good in
that area.
