urban street. It is the primary area of development and shall be the major
retail component of the PUD. The limits of sub-area "A" shall be defined as
the outside edge of the outer private circulation drive as shown on the sub area

b) Sub-Area "B" (B-1 & B-2 Broadway- Northern District)
PEARLAND TOWN CENTER
PUD (PO District) Ordinance
October 3,2005 Rev. October 29. 2007
Page 4
Sub-area "B" will lie directly north of the Town Center District, adjacent to
Broadway A venue, and will serve as the gateway to the development. This
sub-area is the front door to the development and will establish the
developments overall character. Due to the proximity of this sub-area to the
Town Center entrance and the area's importance as the project "gateway," the
Developer intends to maintain a high level of architectural unity and
continuity in this zone.
c) Sub-Area "C" (Event Center District)
Sub-area "C" is located directly south of the Town Center District, adjacent to
the Storm Water Management Area. This sub-area will be accessible from
Kirby Road on the west and the extension of Business Center Drive on the
east via an east-west circulation drive along the southern boundary of the
Event Center District. The purpose of this District is to accommodate a large
multi-purpose event and performing arts center or privately owned large
format retail, theater, or other entertainment uses. This district will be directly
linked to the town center district through a series of pedestrian and vehicular
connections, creating a true multi-use destination for the region.
d) Sub-Area "D" ("D-I and D-2" Southern District)
Sub-areas "D I and D2" are located in the southeast and southwest comer of
the PUD respectively. Development will be complementary to the overall
architectural scheme and will be of equal quality; however, development in
this sub area will have greater opportunity for the establishment of individual
tenant identity through use of nationally recognized building prototypes,
provided materials and colors are in harmony with project materials.
e) Sub-Area "E" (Western District)
Sub-area "E" is located west of Kirby Road. Due to this sub area's location on
the west side of Kirby Road, the development of this area will be required to
meet parking, open space and landscape requirements of this PUD on a stand
alone basis. A development plan for this area shall be submitted by developer
of Sub Area E and reviewed by the Planning Director for compliance with the
specific requirements of this PUD prior to any building permit being issued
for work in this sub-area.
f) Sub-Area "F" (Storm Water Management Area)
Sub-area "F" is located along the southern property boundary. This sub-area
will be developed as an amenity in accordance with the landscape
requirements outlined elsewhere in this text.
g) Sub-Area "0" (Western District)
PEARLAND TOWN CENTER
POO (PD District) Ordinance
October 3, 2005 Rev October 29. 2007
Page 5
Sub-area "G" is located west of Kirby Road and fronts Broadway (518).
