Attachment A
BACKGROUND: The Thoroughfare Plan is a transportation planning tool that identifies and
classifies thoroughfares in the city that will support the City's development goals and mobility
along with connectivity throughout the City. The plan is instrumental in identifying and prioritizing
projects forthe- 5-Year-Cepitai-tmpravernent Program (CIP). The City's objective is to -a -mend
the Plan periodically based on development activity, land use studies, environmental issues,
etc. Staff is currently proposing amendments which will have the effect of updating
classifications of roadways based on developments that have occurred and realigning various
roadways within the City.
SUMMARY: The current plan was adopted March 24, 2014 (Ord. 943-21). The proposed
Thoroughfare Plan amendment will include the following proposed changes which are shown on
the attached map:
1. Realignment of the future Westminster Drive connection from Barry Rose Parkway
to a connection with Pearland Parkway. This will provide another access point for the
residential subdivision and also allow for access to the proposed commercial
development at the corner of Barry Rose Parkway and Pearland Parkway.
2. Elimination of a Minor Collector between Manvel Road and CR 107 through the
proposed Massey Lakes Estates, as it has been determined that the designation is not
needed. The proposed circulation pattern for Massey Lakes Estates adequately
addresses the east -west connection between Manvel Road and CR 107.
3. The Blackacres development, located at the northwest corner of Main Street and
Bailey Road. consists of approximately 97 acres, 40 acres of which is currently being
proposed for an industrial development. The current Thoroughfare Plan shows both
Major and Minor Collectors within the proposed development. Staff is proposing to
remove the Collectors from the Plan so as not to hinder the developable prospects on
the remaining 57 acres. Both traffic and access will be re-evaluated at the time of future
development depending on the proposed land use.
SCHEDULE: Staff proposes to present the Thoroughfare Plan Amendment at the Joint Public
Hearing of the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission on July 20, 2015. This will be
followed by the two readings at the regular City Council meetings of August 10, 2015 and
August 24, 2015.
