Survey (3800- 3900 Halik Road, Pearland, Texas) NUMBER OF PERSONS SIGNING ATTENDANCE ROSTER: 3 PERSONS SPEAKING FOR THE PROPOSED REQUEST: Robert Ellis, 3925 Halik Road, Pearland, TX. Mr. Ellis stated the reason for the zone change is because the Light Industrial classification more adequately reflects the nature of this property. He said the property is a combination of warehouses used by local business people, carpet companies, and electrical contractors and that a commercial classification does not apply to the nature of the businesses in the area. He further stated that he anticipated some additional buildings being built in the area and this zone change will accommodate that. Mr. Ellis informed that the front part of the property, which faces Telephone Road, is not involved in the zone change, but this area will eventually be turned into a strip center or an office building. mm PERSONS SPEAKING AGAINST THE PROPOSED REQUEST: None QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD: Councilmember Tetens asked whether or not Mr. Ellis had any specific uses proposed that would fit in an M-1 classification as opposed to Commercial. Mr. Ellis stated he doesn't see any change in the characteristic use of the property from what it is now. There will be a retention pond between the industrial site and the nearby apartments, as well as a landscape berm, or a hill, planted with some bushes and/or trees to create a sound barrier.
