CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION - AMENDMENT TO THE
THOROUGHFARE PLAN
A request by Justin S. Barnett, representing R. West Development Company,
applicant, on behalf of Triangle 31 LLC, owner, for approval of an amendment to the
P&Z Regular Meeting Minutes
October 21, 2019
Page 3 of 6
City of Pearland Thoroughfare Plan to remove the future extension/alignment of
Industrial Drive which will connect the eastern terminus of the existing right of way to
Dixie Farm Road, located on approximately 62.46 acres of land; to wit:
General Location: Industrial drive extension east to Dixie Farm Road
Planning Manager Griggs presented the staff report and informed that Based on the
analysis of the Thoroughfare Amendment Study performed by Voigt Associates the City
Engineer is NOT in support of the abandonment of the extension of Industrial Drive.
The conclusions within the report were insufficient to establish that the abandonment of
the extension of industrial drive is in the City's best interest, as it was demonstrated that
a connection between SH35 and Dixie Farm would provide additional connectivity and
reduce delay at adjacent intersections within the region. The report indicated somewhat
mixed results as the addition of signalized intersections on Industrial Drive at SH35
and Dixie Farm would cause some additional delay, the signalization of Industrial Drive
and SH35 will most likely be needed regardless of the any additional connections and
would make the land within this region more attractive to development.
Applicant Justin Barnett with R. West Development, 7918 Broadway #104, Pearland TX
77581, gave a presentation and explained the intentions for the amendment request.
Mr. Barnett was available for comments and questions.
Chairperson Tunstall was not in favor of the request because he did not think it was a
proper land use.
Motion was denied 2-4, Commissioners Starr and Cade were in favor of the request.
Chairperson Tunstall read into the record the items on Consideration and Possible
Action — Amendments to the Unified Development Code (UDC) No. (T-31). Vice —
Chairperson Duncan made a motion to approve, Commissioner Star seconded the
motion.
A request of the City of Pearland, for a proposed amendment to the Unified
Development Code regarding the following sections:
1. Removing Outdoor Activities or Uses references from the Non-residential Zoning
Districts (Chapter 2, Article 4);
2. Removing the landscape plan submittal requirement from amending, preliminary
and final plat processes;
3. Redefining the master plat as a "master plan" (Chapter 3, Article 1, Division 2);
4. Including allowances for the approval of a final plat prior to completion of all
infrastructure improvements (Section 3.1.5.4);
5. Adding "microblading" as a use in the Land Use Matrix (Section 2.5.2.2).
Planning Manager Griggs presented the set of proposed amendments addressing the
P&Z Regular Meeting Minutes
October 21, 2019
Page 4 of 6
following:
Chapter 2, Zoning Regulations
• Remove outdoor activity references currently spread throughout Article 4, Zoning
Districts, and Article 5, Division 2 — Land Use Matrix and create a new, singular section
for the topic (Chapter 2, Article 4). Chapter 3, Subdivision Regulations
• Remove the landscape plan requirement from the amending, preliminary, and final plat
processes (to be completed by staff as at department policy level);
• Redefine the master plat as a "master plan" with approval vested in the Administrative
Official (Chapter 3, Article 1, Division 2).
• Include an allowance for the approval of a final plat prior to the completion of all
infrastructure improvements that would allow the Planning and Zoning Commission to
approve the final plat, but the plat would not be filed until all infrastructure is accepted
by the City. This would require the developer to sign an agreement to such (Section
3.1.5.4). Staff has received many inquiries from the community into allowing
"microblading" as a land use category similar to barber / beauty shop / tanning studio.
This requested amendment to the non-residential land use matrix was drafted in
response. Chapter 2, Zoning Regulations
• Adding "Microblading" to the Non -Residential Land Use Matrix (Section 2.5.2.2)
A discussion ensued and it was agreed by Staff and the P&Z Commission that they
would vote for each proposed amendment separately as follows:
• Remove outdoor activity from the Non-residential Zoning Districts — Motion passed 6-0
• Remove the landscape plan requirement from the amending, preliminary, and final plat
processes — Motion passed 6-0
• Redefine the master plat as a "master plan" — Motion passed 5-1, Commissioner
Wicker made a comment on the differences between a master plat and master plan
Commissioner Cade was opposed to the request due to having issues with the
terminology.
• Include an allowance for the approval of a final plat prior to the completion of all
infrastructure improvements — Commissioner Cade asked Staff for clarification on the
final process, Planning Manager Griggs explained the process. Motion passed 5-1,
Commissioner Wicker was opposed due to not requiring 100% completion before
approving a final plat.
• Adding "Microblading" to the Non -Residential Land Use Matrix — Motion passed 6-0
