Page 7 of 10
Associate Planner Vince Hustead presented exhibits and staff report. Staff recommends
approval of the requested change in zoning from S5 to M-1 on the approximately 4.949
acre site for the following reasons:
1. The proposed zoning of M-1 on the subject property is not in conformance with the
future land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan, however it is
compatible with the existing development that has taken place on the site.
2. The Intensity and scale of the proposed project is not compatible with the desired
character of the Spectrum District and recent development in the area along Kirby
Drive. However, this parcel and the adjoining parcel zoned M-1, under the same
ownership, are located at the western boundary of the S5 district and will be similar
in nature to the adjoining industrial areas located west of Almeda School Road.
3. Rezoning the subject property would create a cohesive development under a single
owner whereby a more unified industrial development could occur, since the
existing zoning of the larger tract to the west would already allow this type of activity
by right.
4. The proposed rezoning will encourage reuse of an existing building on site, and
bring the building into conformance with the current building and fire codes.
5. The parcel is surrounded by M-1 zoned parcels on two sides and the rezoning
would be compatible to adjacent parcels.
The motion passes 6-0
P&Z Chairperson Daniel Tunstall read into the record the Zone Change Application No.
Zone 17-00003. P&Z Commissioner Mary Starr made a motion to approve, P&Z Vice -
Chairperson Thomas Duncan seconded the motion.
CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION — ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION NO.
ZONE 17-00003
A request of Chris Bick of Kimley-Horn, applicant, on behalf of Matt Pasternak, president
of Pasternak Management, Inc., manager of 313 Acre Pearland Joint Venture, owner; for
approval of a change in zoning from the Single -Family Residential -1 (R-1) zoning to a
General Business (GB) zoning district; on approximately 5.9316 acres of land.
Legal Description: Being a tract or parcel containing 5.9316 acres (258,382 square feet)
of land situated in the W.D.C. Hall Survey, Abstract Number 70, Brazoria County, Texas;
being out of and a part of the 16.835 acre remainder portion of that certain called 297.58
acre tract conveyed to Aaron Pasternak, Trustee by deed recorded in Volume 1023, Page
297 Brazoria County Deed Records (B.C.D.R.), Brazoria County, Texas.
Location: Southeast corner of Liberty Drive and East Broadway Street, Pearland, TX.
Associate Planner Vince Hustead presented exhibits and staff report. Staff recommends
P&Z Regular Meeting Minutes
March 20, 2017
Page 8 of 10
approval of the requested change in zoning from R-1 to GB on the approximately 5.9316
acre site for the following reasons:
1. The R-1 zoned portion of the property is not in conformance with the Future Land
Use Plan (FLUP) which designates the parcel for Retail, Offices and Services. The
proposed zoning of GB on the subject property would be in conformance with the
Future land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan.
2. This subject property 5.9316 is part of a larger 16.835 acre parcel, of which
remaining area is zoned GB. Rezoning this portion would make a cohesively
developable property.
3. Frontage on Liberty Drive, a Major Collector, and adjacency to non-residential uses
renders the parcel improbable for single family -residential development that would
be permitted by the current zoning.
4. The uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be compatible to the existing
non-residential uses around the subject parcel.
P&Z Commissioner Derrell Isenberg would be opposed to an approval if the developer
does not agree to build a fence around the dry detention for the safety of the school
students. P&Z Vice -Chairperson Thomas Duncan asked for clarification if a fence or wall
should be built, Senior Planner Martin Griggs explained the UDC buffer requirements. P&Z
Commissioner Mary Starr made a comment on the wall requirements for commercial. P&Z
Chairperson Daniel Tunstall informed P&Z Commission that this particular zone change
needs to be voted yes, no or postponed at this time. P&Z Commissioner Troy Pradia
asked the applicant's representative if they would be building a fence. The applicant
answered he did not have the authority to say developer would agree to build the fence
and could not guarantee but would share the request with his client. The vote was 4-0 in
favor, 2-0 opposed.
The motion passes 4-2
