Commissioner Pat Lopez commented that there seems to be a tremendous
amount of spot zoning going on, in which they were trying to avoid. His
concern was not with the business but with placing an M-1 on the whole
acreage.
Mr. Amundsen asked for permission to speak. He then addressed the
board that he started his business 7 years ago, and some of the people
they heard from that evening had built there homes after he was there. He
stated Pearland should have a lot of homes, but they also need a work
place as well.
A lady then stood and stated she's been there since the early 80's and
before he started he went to all the neighbors to tell them what he was
doing and there was never any talk of any industrial.
Commissioner Pat Lopez stated that it's always interesting for the people
to refer to who was there first, but he has been here for 41 years and Renee
West is swallowing his acres.
Dennis Smith stated that if Mr. Amundsen is zoned M-1, it is unrestricted.
Vice -Chairman Tommy L. Scott states that he gets confused because the
ordinance has changed. He reminded the commissioners that in the Old
Townesite there is GB zoning with homes there. He suggested that it
remains SD, then request. a variance. Dennis Smith stated that you must
have an active zone to pull a permit or request a variance.
Vice Chairman Tommy L. Scott asked about a specific use, and Dennis
Smith stated you must be in a zone for that also. He then asked if it could
be zoned R-1, then have a specific use for building? Dennis Smith replied
that there are no specific uses in R-1.
Commissioner Pat Lopez stated that until staff could come up with a better
option he is going to make a motion to deny the application. Vice -
Chairman Tommy L. Scott seconded motion.
Motion failed 2 to 3.
