The staff presentation was given by Katie Peterson for this zone change request from General
Commercial(GC)to Planned Development(PD) district. She gave a brief history of the property,
including the zone change request from GC to M-1 that was made in January 2026 at City Council.
This request was denied with the direction to consider a CUP or PD based on the proposed intent
for the site. The applicant decided a PD would better fit their needs and this is the proposal now
before the Commission. Senior Planner Peterson also presented the site plan and the deviations
being proposed. She stated this proposal meets the criteria for a zone change and meets the
Comprehensive Plan/Future Land Use Plan,Thoroughfare Plan, UDC and Utilities. However,the
following language should be updated in the PD before the First Reading at City Council:
1. Language in text of the PD document and in the deviations table related to spacing of
ornamental trees along Knapp Road be updated as the number of required trees conflicts between
10'a n d 15'.
2. Language in the Landscape Buffer and Setback section of the Corridor Overlay District
deviations table be updated to include"for buildings"after 25'.
3. The language for required screening for parking areas fronting the road and adjacent properties
be updated to reflect parking rather than detention as noted in the deviations table.
4. The language under Building Design be updated to require a variation of"material,finish and
color"rather than"material,finish or color".
She stated that Staff does recommend approval.
Eric Oliver with Junction Commercial Real Estate, 1 Riverway Drive, Suite 2550, Houston,Texas
77056 was in the Chambers and gave a presentation. He stated they came back for a PD as
directed by City Council. He said they tried to limit the uses the City Council was not comfortable
with,while not hamstringing future tenants. He said they really see this as a distribution facility
with relatively low traffic, and they want a more commercial look to the building. He also displayed
truck routes that trucks would use if they missed the turn onto Knapp Road. Mr. Oliver also
mentioned that they had preliminary approval from TxDOT for one access point to Main Street. He
said they envision there will be approximately 19 trucks per day and 35 cars from employees. He
also said they would keep standard work hours of 8-5 and they would keep the same detention for
their site and Mr. Coker's site.
There were no persons present to speak for or against this requested zone change.
The discussion among the Commissioners focused on their approval of the look of the building,
clarification on the truck routes and articulation, and a general appreciation that the applicant did
not give up in trying to develop this site.
There was no further discussion between the Commissioners, Staff and applicant.
The motion passed 6-0.
