Commissioners Marshall Eggers and Mary Starr arrived at 6:03 p.m. III. NEW BUSINESS 1 A. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION - SPECIFIC USE NO. 45. Request of Larry D. and Teresa A. Hood, owners, for an amendment to the Land Use and Urban Development Ordinance of said City for a Specific Use Permit to allow animal husbandry in a Single Family Dwelling District (R-1) on the following described property, to -wit: Lot 16 being 6.0 acres of land of the East One -Half (E %) of the Northwest One - Quarter (NW 'XI) of Section 15, H.T. & B.R.R. Co. Survey, Abstract 241, Brazoria County, Texas, as shown by plat of partition recorded in Vol 441, Pg. 265, Deed Records, Brazoria County, Texas (6725 Fite Road). Ms. Teresa A. Hood, owner, was present seeking approval of Specific Use No. 45. Assistant City Manager Richard Burdine said staff recommends approval. Discussion ensued with the Commission questioning Ms. Hood as to the amount and type of animals being on the property. Ms. Hood stated the use would be for horses and cattle. Mr. Burdine said the Ordinance allows 12 horses and 12 cattle on 6 acres. Commissioners concerns ranged from following the Ordinance as it is stated, to being more lenient with the number of animals. Mr. Burdine asked Ms. Hood how many cattle does she have now, to which she replied there were 10. Mr. Burdine also asked Ms. Hood that if she was restricted to a total of 12 animals, would that be a problem. Ms. Hood said no. Mr. Burdine said she could have 12 horses and 12 cows, for a total of 24. Commissioner Patro said when the Ordinance was written, the area was all open land, and the Commission should have the right to regulate Specific Uses since the area is in the City now and is residential. Mr. Burdine said the City has an Animal Control Ordinance that is restrictive as to the number of animals allowed, however; the Specific Use Ordinance does give broad authority to add more restrictive conditions on its uses. Commissioner Patro made a motion to accept Specific Use No. 45 and limit the number of cattle and horses to no more that a total of 12. There was no more discussion. Motion failed for lack of a second. Commissioner Starr made a motion to accept the Specific Use, and limit the number of combined animals to never exceed 18. There was no discussion. Commissioner Mary Starr amended the motion, seconded by Vice Chairman Lopez to approve Specific Use No. 45 as it stands. Motion passed 4 to 2. Commissioner Patro and Chairman Robert Larsen voted nay. 2 B.

I/The ordinance authorizing the program would "sunset" after 3 years, unless extended by City Council action. EXHIBIT "A" This document describes a comprehensive subdivision directional signs program, as proposed by the Pearland Area Homebuilders and Developers (PAH&D). It is an exhibit to their application for a Specific Use Permit, as may be granted by the City Council in accordance with Section 23 - SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REGULATIONS, of the Land Use and Urban Development Ordinance No. 509, as amended. Off -site builder/subdivision directional signs are currently allowed under Section 22.17(1) of the Land Use and Urban Development Ordinance No. 509, which provides: (1) One builder/subdivision sign may be located at the main entrance of any new subdivision. Four (4) additional directional signs may be located off -site at appropriate locations. It is common for a single builder to be active in more than one subdivision and for more than one builder to be active in a single subdivision. The sheer number of builders and subdivisions in the Pearland area has resulted in a proliferation of off -site directional signs along major thoroughfares. Off -site signs generally direct prospective home buyers by identification of builder names, rather than by subdivision names. PAH&D proposes a comprehensive subdivision directional signs program intended to direct prospective home buyers to new residential subdivisions by the safest and most direct routes available. The program would replace existing off -site directional signs with clear and consistent signs (See Exhibit B), thereby reducing the likelihood of motor vehicle accidents caused by confused newcomers making haphazard driving decisions. A comprehensive program will also enhance the appearance of the city, as seen by newcomers driving on major thoroughfares. Because the signs are directional in nature, no advertising for individual builders or developers would be permitted. Off -site directional signs are proposed for three types of locations - community entries, at intersections and other key points along major corridors, and at Information Centers within the major corridors. Approximately 30 existing off -site directional signs will be removed voluntarily and all new signs must conform to the proposed program. Chart 1. (Attached) illustrates the proposed locations, size and number of each type of directional sign. Major corridors are defined as the area within five hundred feet (500') of the right-of- way of SH288 from Clear Creek to the City's southern extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) boundary, Broadway (FM 518) from the east city limit to SH288, Main Street from Clear 1 Creek to the southern ETJ boundary, Dixie Farm Road from the northeast city limit to Main Street, Oiler Drive from Main Street to Centennial Boulevard and Centennial Boulevard from Oiler Drive to Blackhawk Boulevard. Community entry ground signs would be located in the vicinity of the SH288 and FM518 intersection, on Dixie Farm Road near the city limit and on North Main (SH35) near the city limit Community entry signs would be 16 feet tall and 32 feet wide (one- sided). The number of community entry signs is limited to three (3). Existing billboards may also be utilised by the program and are not affected under this proposal. Subdivision Directional Signs would be located within main corridors at key intersections and decision points. These signs would be 12 feet tall and 8 feet wide (two- sided). The number of subdivision directional signs is limited to sixteen (16). New Home Information Center Signs would be located at businesses within the major corridors. These signs would be 4 feet tall and 8 feet wide (two-sided). The number of subdivision directional signs is limited to ten (10). Cost of the program is to be paid by the PAH&D. The program would end three years from the date the Specific Use Permit is granted by the City Council. Extension or renewal of the program would require approval of a new Specific Use Permit by the City Council. All signs erected under the program would be removed upon expiration of the permit and could not be used for other purposes, i.e., general billboard -type advertising or advertising of a business upon which property the sign is erected. 2
