for a variance from Section 8.4.2.(a)Yard (setback) requirements, for all lots in River
Mist, Section 2 (Tabled at the August 3, 2000 meeting/Denied at the September 7,
2000 meeting)
Mike Doyle, 11500 Northwest Freeway, Houston, explained that when Centex purchased
the property the first section had been platted with a 20' front building line. He stated that
they proceeded with the preliminary plat and the construction plans for Section 2. He
added that the Section 2 preliminary plat had been approved and construction had already
begun when they realized the property was not zoned R-4.
A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the misunderstanding of the zoning of this property.
Board Member Harold Slagle asked why the Planning and Zoning Commission could not
approve this variance. He added that they granted the original variance on Section 1 .

must consider variances from the Land Use Ordinance.

subdivision. Mr. Doyle stated that they do have a property management company and the

G. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION - V00-40,
Request of Chrismar Partnership, owner, for two variances: 1) from Section 21.5.1.
Paving and Drainage; and 2)from Section 22.3 Minimum Landscape Requirements,
to allow a change of occupancy on an existing building without meeting these
ordinance requirements, at 8411A Industrial Drive
Gary Borne, 2816 Ferndale, Houston, explained that he is one of the managing partners
of six buildings on Industrial Drive. He stated that three of the six buildings are vacant and
three are occupied. He added that the three vacant buildings can not be leased because
they do not meet the parking and landscape requirements. Mr. Borne explained that the
buildings now have crushed concrete driveways with a lime base. He stated that all of the
buildings have septic tank fill lines that run through the front and back of the properties.
Director of Community Development and Services Gene Tumlinson explained that the
Land Use Ordinance requires that with a change of occupancy or occupant, the parking
and landscape requirements must be met. He stated that the landscaping could consist
of a few trees or shrubs being planted out of the way of the big truck traffic. He also stated
that the paving can be engineered to withstand the load of the trucks.
Mr. Borne stated that the ditch that runs along the property is completely overgrown. He
added that the ditch needs to be cleaned out for drainage purposes. He explained that the
City does not maintain the access road either. He added that they have been maintaining
the road themselves for years.
A discussion ensued regarding the number of parking spaces that would be required. Also
discussed was other options of where to place solid surface parking and loading spaces.
Board Member Marvin Elam made a motion, seconded by Board Member Harold Slagle,
to deny variances V00-35, V00-36, V00-37 and V00-38.
Motion passed 4 to 1.
