General Location: 7409 Bailey Road, Pearland,Texas. Planner I Will Genitempo presented the staff report with exhibits. He stated that Staff was recommending denial since the proposal only met 2 of the 4 approval criteria for a zone change and conflicted with the residential place type in the Future Land Use Plan. Preston Cunningham was available as a representative of the owner and gave a brief presentation. He stated they are wanting to build an amenitized business park for small business owners. The goal would be for the business owners to buy or lease a multi-tenant building at an affordable price. The property owner Doug McCreaken also spoke. He said the SR-15 zoning designation did not make a lot of sense, as no one would want to live directly behind a Dollar General. There were no speakers present to speak for or against this request. The Board discussion focused on their general approval of this type of development here, but also concerns about what could come in by right if the zoning was changed to General Business. The Board discussed other zoning designations that might permit this type of development, and requested that the UDC rewrite include zoning districts in which a small office/warehouse(such as for plumbing, HVAC and other trades)would be permitted. Chair Ordeneaux called for the vote. Approved: D. Knight Opposed: T. Haskins, H. Fuertes,J. Ordeneaux, D. Isenberg,J. Henrichs Motion failed 1-5.
