Commissioner Starr said the property does not front on McHard Road even though the survey
indicates it does.
Director of Planning and Development Dennis Smith said that the Land Use Comprehensive Plan
will be looking at Commercial zoning north of Clear Creek; however, he feels that mini -storage
facilities could be zoned General Business. The current ordinance puts them in as Commercial,
though. This may not be the most appropriate use.

42 of the Brazoria County Map Records (S.E. corner of Plum & Park)
Mr. Smith stated that Black Base, Inc., did not apply for a Planned Unit Development (PUD);
therefore, have no formal plans for approval. He has seen renderings and Ausmus Homes is
aware of the setbacks on the alleyways.
Commissioner Starr said that townhouses are single family units with zero lot lines and are not
multi -family units. Commissioner Mathis asked if Mr. Ausmus was aware of Mr. Jesse Faulk's
24 lots that were changed into 12. Mr. Smith said the proposed townhouses are to built in an
older Victorian style to fit into the surrounding area.
Chairman Pat Lopez said that hopefully, the Old Town Site Historical Committee will make
headway, but is concerned that various sizes of housing will be built instead of maintaining
2
conformity throughout. He went on to say that it comes down to the proper use of the land. Mr.
Smith said that the Old Town Site is zoned Multi -Family and General Business, and the
committee is looking into setting aside the facade ordinance to have the look of an old Texas
town.
Vice Chair Beltz asked if the Historical Committee can oversee the building in the Old Town
Site, and Mr. Smith replied, yes, that its members number 5-9 and can be officially appointed
by Council to oversee its actions.
