Company Survey, Abstract 242, in Brazoria; County, Texas, according to the plat thereof as it appears of record in the Office of the County Clerk of Brazoria County, Texas; and the north 2.5 acres of the South 10 acres of the South 20 acres of the East 60 acres of the northeast one quarter of Section 17, H.T. & B.R.R. Company Survey, Abstract 242, this same property has sometimes been known and referred to and described as Lot 4, Section 17, Abstract 242, Brazoria County, Texas, City of Pearland, Brazoria County, Texas GENERAL LOCATION: Generally Located at the Northwest Corner of Manvel Road (FM 1128) and Fite Road APPROVAL PROCESS: After this Joint Public Hearing, the requested zone change application will be considered as follows: Planning and Zoning Commission: September 19, 2005* City Council for First Reading: October 10, 2005* City Council for Second Reading: October 24, 2005* (*dates subject to change if item is tabled) ZCA No. 1242 Page 1 SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting a change in zoning on the subject property for a General Business District (GB). The subject property was annexed into the City in 1999 and was subsequently zoned SD. The subject property is currently developed with agricultural uses and various small buildings. The applicant has indicated that the purpose of the zone change is to allow for the development of a general business district uses, such as retail and offices. SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USES: Zoning North Commercial District (C) South East West Commercial District (C) and'" Single Family Dwelling District (R-2) Suburban Development District (SD); Multi -Family District (MF) Commercial District (C); General Business District (GB), with a Specific Use Permit for mini- storage/warehouse Land Use Commercial business Undeveloped tract; future single family residential subdivision; Rogers Middle School to the southeast Various businesses and residential uses .1 Undeveloped tracts; existing commercial business CONFORMANCE TO THE LAND USE AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE: The applicant is requesting a GB zoning district. The minimum lot size for the GB district is 22,500 square feet and the minimum lot width is 150 feet. The subject property currently consists of two lots that would need to be combined or replatted as one lot. The subject property, both lots combined, meet these minimum requirements, as the subject property is over 400 feet wide and approximately 10 acres in size. The applicant will be required to comply with all other requirements of the Land Use and Urban Development Ordinance. PLATTING STATUS: Based on the legal description submitted with the zone change ZCA No. 1242 Page 2 application, it appears that the subject property has not been platted. The subject property may need to be platted in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance, prior to issuance of a building permit. The plat will need to address all requirements listed in the Subdivision Ordinance, and be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The plat will need to be filed for record with the County Clerk, prior to issuance of a building permit. However, if the applicant is able to submit documentation indicating that the subject property has been in its present configuration since March 1981, platting may not be required. March 1981 is the effective date of the Subdivision Ordinance, which requires all properties within the City of Pearland to be platted upon a change in configuration. Since the subject property currently consists of two Tots, both lots would have to be combined as one building site in order to comply with the minimum lot size and width of the GB district. CONFORMANCE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan (2004 update adopted on July 26, 2004) recommends "Retail, Offices, and Services" for the subject property and for many of the surrounding properties on Manvel Road. The Comprehensive Plan further indicates that the appropriate zoning districts for Retail, Office, and Service uses are the Office and Professional District (OP), the Neighborhood Service District (NS), and the General Business District (GB). Therefore, the proposed zone change for General Business District (GB) conforms to the Comprehensive Plan. CONFORMANCE TO THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The subject property has frontage on Manvel Road, a major thoroughfare with an ultimate right-of-way of 120 feet. The subject property also has frontage on Fite Road, a major collector street with an ultimate right-of-way of 80 feet. No other roadways affect the subject property. The applicant may be responsible for the dedication of right-of-way for Fite Road and Manvel Road if the subject property is required to be platted. AVAILABILITY OF UTILITIES: There is a 12 inch water main located on the south side of Fite Road, and a 12 inch water main located on the east side of Manvel Road. Sanitary sewer service is available by way of a 24 inch gravity main along the north side of Fite Road, and an 18 inch gravity main along the west side of Manvel Road. ZCA No. 1242 Page 3 IMPACT ON EXISTING AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT: The proposed zone change should not significantly affect the surrounding properties. The proposed zone change to. GB conforms to the Comprehensive Plan designation of retail, office, and service uses. Many of the tracts along Fite Road and both sides of Manvel Road are zoned as GB and many are developed or are developing with general business district uses. Many tracts are also zoned as Commercial District (C) or Neighborhood Service District (NS). The subject property is not adjacent to any residentially zoned properties and therefore, screening between uses would not be required if all adjacent properties remain zoned as they currently are. The applicant will be required to submit a traffic impact analysis (TIA) for the subject property as it is submitted for platting or building permit, in order to determine the impact of the proposed development on the traffic in the area, as well as the location and number of driveways onto Manvel Road and Fite Road. A middle school is located at the southeast corner of Fite Road and Manvel Road. The proximity of•the subject property to the middle school may be of concern due to traffic, ' associated with the school and the development of the subject property. During a recent zone change on Harkey Road, the Council and Commission expressed concerns with a GB zoning change located within close proximity to a school, and has indicated that NS or OP may be more appropriate in that area. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Public notice/comment forms were mailed to property owners within 200 feet of the subject property under consideration. A legal notice of public hearing was published in the local newspaper, and a Zoning Sign was placed on the subject property. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the zone change for GB, as proposed by the applicant, for the following reasons: 1. The proposed zone change provides for General Business District uses, consistent with the "Retail, Office, and Service" uses as recommended by the Comprehensive Plan, thereby being in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. However, an NS or OP district would also be appropriate for the subject property. 2. The proposed zone change is consistent with existing GB zoning districts along Fite Road and Manvel Road, as well as being consistent with existing general business uses within the subject area.
