Chairman Starr stated that Items A & B need to be removed from the agenda due to

Steve Allison stated that he is there on behalf of Brantley Investments, L.L.C., Paul
Brent Durrett, Allison Investments, Inc., and L&B Protective Coatings, Inc. He stated
that they are there to make it known that they have joined forces and will accept no
less than their rightful zoning. He asked the Commissioners to please turn to page 18
of their Land Use and Urban Development Ordinance, which is the "Purpose of
District, pertaining to SD, Suburban Development District Zone." The first line reads, "It
is the purpose of the Suburban Development District to classify UNDEVELOPED
property until such time as a permanent land use classification can be established."
He then stated that these individual parcels of land are not and were not at time of
annexation undeveloped, and these parcels of land contained active going businesses
that require M-1 and M-2 zoning. He stated that finally, section 43.002, which is a
continuation of Land Use, cited from the Texas Local Government Code states:
"A municipality may not, after, annexing an area, prohibit a person from:
1. Continuing to use the land in the area in a manner in which the land was being
used on the date of the annexation proceedings were instituted if the land was
legal at that time; or
2. Beginning to use land in the area in the manner that was planned for the land
before the 90th day before the effective date of the annexation if:
2
A) One or more licenses, certificates, permits, approvals, or other forms of
authorization by a governmental entity were required by law for the
planned land use, and
B) A completed application for the initial authorization was filed with the
governmental entity before the date the annexation proceedings were
instituted.
He then stated that therefore they are requesting the following zonings: 1115 Cullen
Blvd, owner Paul Brent Durrett, requesting M-2 (Heavy Industrial District), 1027 Cullen
Blvd, owner L&B Protective Coatings, Inc., requesting M-2 (Heavy Industrial District),
1855 Cullen Blvd, owner Allison Investments, Inc., requesting M-1 (Light Industrial
District), 431 Cullen Blvd, owner Paul Brent Durrett, requesting M-2 (Heavy Industrial
District), and 4332 Brookside Rd, owner Brantley Investments, LLC, requesting M-2
(Heavy Industrial District).
Mr. Allison then made a brief statement explaining that the city chose them, they didn't
chose the City, and they will not lose their investment value at the City's discretion. He
also stated that they want clean, neat, aesthetically pleasing property just as the City
does and so that rental rates will stay up so they will make more money and provide
nice work places for the people to work. He then stated that they cannot build and
proceed until the City gives them what they are asking for.
Mr. Allison then presented a letter to the Planning and Zoning Commissioners from
Glover Bryant, L.L.P, Attorneys At Law.
