A request of Arne Pepin, applicant/owner; for approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a tool and machinery rental with outdoor storage in the General Commercial (GC) zoning
district; on approximately 4.694 acres of land.
Legal Description: Being 4.694 acres (204,491 square feet) of land situated in the northeast one-quarter of Section 17, H. T. & B. RR Co. Survey, Abstract No. 242, Brazoria County, Texas,
and being a part of the land described in Vol. 103, Page 156 and also part of the land described in Vol. 233, Page 452 of the Deed Records of Brazoria County, Texas.
General Location: 2932 Manvel Road, Pearland, TX.
Senior Planner Martin Griggs presented staff report with exhibits. Staff did not recommend approval for the following reasons:
1. The proposed use is not in conformance with the Future Land Use Plan (FLUP).
The FLUP designates this property as Retail, Offices, and Services which is
described as suitable for a variety of office and retail development. The proposed
use, however, is more of a heavy commercial or light industrial use.
2. The existing uses in the surrounding area include several housing developments.
There are no like or similar uses in the area and therefore this site is not suitable
for that intensity of use.
3. The proposed conditional use permit would not have a positive impact on
promoting future development along Manvel Road. The surrounding area is
mostly developed with single family residential homes and institutional uses. The
zoning in the area is intended to promote retail, offices, and services along the
Manvel Road. The proposed use would not support the neighboring residential
Needs and would not be compatible to the uses along Manvel Road, or be
appropriate on Manvel Road which also serves as an entry to the City.
Mr. Griggs explained if the CUP was approved, staff would recommend the following items to be addressed:
1. Existing track lighting to be removed.
2. Existing barbed wire fence to be replaced with a fence that meets the UDC.
3. All other conditions of the UDC be met.
Discussion ensued with regards to limiting two trailers on the property, the fence replacement, addition of landscaping on the north side of the ROW and the revisions to the site plan.
P&Z Commissioner Mary Starr made the motion to amend the original motion to Zone Change Application No. CUP 16-00009 to include the following conditions:
1. Existing track lighting to be removed.
2. Existing barbed wire fence to be replaced with a fence that meets the UDC.
3. All other conditions of the UDC be met.
P&Z Commissioner Derrell Isenberg seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0.
The motion to approve the Zone Change Application No. CUP 16-00009 with Staff recommendations was approved 5-0.

negative impacts on surrounding developed properties, as a result of the
requirements of the UDC as well as the conditions recommended by staff.
2. The proposed use meets the criteria of approval for a Conditional Use
Permit, will conform to the UDC as well as the Future Land Use
Designation of the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The proposed use and improvements to the site will result in an enhanced
property that otherwise would remain as is.
