WORKSHOP

 

Sugar Land Land Use Plan

 

Chairman Zimmerman introduced discussion on City of Sugar Land Land Use Plan.

 

Ms. Sabine Somers-Kuenzel, Director of Planning, stated the Land Use Plan represents what the City looks like today and is the vision for the future.  The Plan is the principle that governs regarding vacant areas that are infill and represents future growth areas that will be developed.  By nature the land plan is very general but is representative of the City’s desire to group certain land uses.  Land represented in the Plan is not zoned but is the first step in the process.  The Land Use Plan, by state mandate, includes a disclaimer on the Land Use Map reflecting that property has not been zoned. 

 

An element in understanding the Land Use Plan is to know how it relates to the Comprehensive Plan and the relationship the Plan has with the other areas of the Comprehensive Plan.  In the past, City planning has been done primarily through private development.  As development progressed, Sugar Land began a partnership to bring a broader perspective to development.  Sugar Land’s uniqueness is that master planned communities have been annexed into the City with the city goal being to ensure that the transition between areas is a cohesive community rather than being well planned pods.  The approach is reflective of a well planned community.

 

The state does not require zoning but authorizes it; if zoned the state requires that the zoning be based on a Comprehensive Plan.  The Land Use Plan provides the City with the means to reach goals of safety, green space and requirements for bulkheads, setbacks to avoid overcrowding and development of infrastructure.  The City realized that the Land Use Plan could not be 100% specific but should be broad and flexible, which provides for adjustments to be made over time.  In adopting the Plan thirteen goals were established which project the area and quantities needed to match goals of the community. 

 

Planning has a 3 step process; the plan is adopted, the developer provides a general plan to see how the development matches the community, and then zoning decisions are made.  In general the process will come before the Commission in the same sequence.  If the development is not in compliance with the Land Use Plan, or land use changes or zoning is inappropriate, the Commission may recommend denial of the request. 

 

The general plan is specific but not at the level of a zoning map change.  The Commission will review the arrangement requested by the developer and staff will present a traffic analysis and review infrastructure with the Commission.  The Commission is a recommending body in zoning decisions with the legislative role and action being that of the City Council.

 

The Land Use Map provides locations for uses and approximates location.  The map indicates relationships and establishes how much is used as buffering and transitions.  It is a guide to property owners and buyers and serves as a tool for staff to look at the land uses approved by City Council.  Factors of infrastructure and whether it exists may determine whether a land use is appropriate. 

 

The Comprehensive Plan has four major components: traffic, water and wastewater, parks and land use which were developed using the thirteen goals or objectives established by City Council.  When the Land Use Plan was updated in 2004 the City was well developed, therefore, the primary focus was in areas of redevelopment and future identified development areas like Imperial, Tract 3 and the prison area.  Consideration was given to population growth, density, fiscal impact and other areas of development. 

 

Chairman Zimmerman entertained questions and comments from the Commission. 

 

There were no comments or questions.

 

amendment to Sugar Land Development Code, Chapter Two, Article II

interior setbacks for B-1, B-2 and B-O zoning district

 

Chairman Zimmerman introduced discussion on an amendment to Sugar Land Development Code, Chapter Two, Article II for interior setbacks for B-1, B-2 and B-O zoning districts.

 

Mr. Douglas Schomburg, Assistant Planning Director stated the proposed amendment relates to zero interior setbacks in “B” commercial districts when buildings are constructed as part of a center.  Prior provisions allowed zero interior setbacks for commercial properties with the B-1, B-2, and O-1 former office district when buildings adjoined.  In adopting the code in 1997 there was an oversight and lack of provision for zero interior setbacks for commercial developments. This oversight has created difficulty for commercial project platting. 

 

During 2000 and 2001, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council discussed various commercial setback issues, including the need for a bulk plane and height setback.  Interior commercial setbacks were reviewed due to shopping center style development where subdividing was proposed for individual sites within a larger center.  The code allowed minimum requirements for 10’ interior side setbacks from platted lot lines.  In 2001, City Council approved a revision to Chapter Five of the Development Code on zero interior side setback arrangements for commercial centers where side walls connect along property lines.

 

Interior setback issues have become more critical with the review of conceptual development plans for Lake Pointe and Telfair Planned Developments.  The proposed amendment will allow platted commercial reserves to be connected with zero setbacks in “B” zoning districts with abutting reserves having common building walls at the interior lot line between commercial buildings; commercial centers without common building walls would be required to have a minimum 10’ rear and side yard setback minimum.  In abutting a non-residential District or R-4 District the minimum side and rear setback is 10’ from each side lot line.

 

In considering the amendments it is appropriate to examine the Comprehensive Plan for key objectives:

 

Effective Land Use

·         Update Development Code and zoning practices for implementation

·         Ensure compatibility with existing neighborhoods

Redevelopment

·         Continuously update Development Code for compatible redevelopment; amendment affects redevelopment and development

Annexation

·             Expand corporate limits of City in a prudent manner, and consider impacts; the amendment proposes to reduce code conflicts

 

Chairman Zimmerman entertained questions and comments from the Commission.

 

The Commissioners requested clarification on points regarding firewalls, application of setbacks and building length limitations.

 

amendments to Sugar Land Town Square Planned Development District

Reserves A1, A2 and G

 

Chairman Zimmerman introduced discussion on amendments to Sugar Land Town Square Planned Development District for Reserves A1, A2 and G.

 

Mr. Douglas Schomburg, Assistant Planning Director, stated the reserve properties that are located at the northeast portion of the Planned Development (PD) are currently vacant and bounded by State Highway 6 and Town Center Boulevard North.  The PD is specific tract by tract on individual reserves for square footage and usages.  The proposed amendment is for Reserves A1, A2 and G.

 

Specific amendments proposed are:

• Combine allowable uses for site A-1 and site A-2 into a single A to allow ability to plan integrated uses

• Remove 300,000 square feet office building as an allowable use on Site A

• Addition of a 350 room hotel and movie theatre to list of uses for Site A

• Add office to allowable uses on Site G and increase max. square feet from 15,000 to 25,000 (ratio of square footage, not necessarily building footprint)

 

Mr. Les Newton, Planned Community Developers, stated the request to amend the Planned Development was the eighth. The original plan included a 12 story office building that was changed to residential condominiums.  One reason for removing the office building from the plan is the parking perspective is no longer feasible due to the 400 spaces being dedicated to the conference center. Planned Community Developers, in year 2005 and 6 months of year 2006, explored the high-rise condominium feasibility.  In 2005 the high-rise was under contract to a builder who actually sold about 25 units out of a possible 59 units. When the builder started to purchase building materials, he found construction costs had gone up 25% so the project became unfeasible.  Before abandoning the plan, Planned Community Developers wanted to be sure it would not work and took several months to consider project feasibility before coming to the conclusion that the selling price for a 2000 square foot condo would need to be in the range of $750,000 to be profitable with the ultimate conclusion being the same as the builder.

 

The Marriott Hotel has been very successful with higher than expected occupancy rates.  The owners have approached Planned Community Developers relative to constructing another hotel, which is an exclusive right that was granted in the original agreement.  Planned Community Developers sees the addition as a good fit because of parking restrictions. The Marriott does not have adequate accommodations to allow full use of the meeting rooms.  The City has a large investment in the conference rooms and the added hotel guest rooms would be an advantage and benefit.  The hotel would be similar in design and quality to the Marriott, however, branding is currently not known. There are no specifics as to the number of rooms which could be 150 to 300; Planned Community Developers has requested 350 rooms; a preliminary study indicates the 400 spaces in the Texas garage would accommodate parking.

 

Another possible opportunity that recently developed is Alamo Draft House, which is known for serving food and alcohol while showing movies.  Market research has shown a different market than that of regular movie goers so AMC has offered them the same rights to show major movies.  With the service of alcoholic beverages, teenagers could only attend if accompanied by an adult.  The concept appears to be compatible to the area and a good match with Sugar Land Town Square.

 

Planned Community Developers believes the projects will enliven the overall development, add more retail and stimulate the existing retail at the far end of the square.  The plans are all preliminary in scope; as the developer the architects will be working to combine uses with site plans for ultimate submission to the city for consideration. 

 

Chairman Zimmerman entertained questions and comments from the Commission.

 

The Commission requested that traffic impact to State Highway 6 and U. S. Highway 59 be reviewed regarding the ingress and egress to the conceptual projects; and review of the overall square footage, height restrictions and overall green space compared to the previous approved Planned Development.

 

PUBLIC HEARINGS

 

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO OPERATE A DRY CLEANING PLANT - 203 CENTURY SQUARE BOULEVARD

 

Chairman Zimmerman convened the public hearing to receive all persons desiring to be heard on a request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a dry cleaning plant located at 203 Century Square Boulevard in the General Business District (B-2).

 

Ms. Lisa Kocich-Meyer, Senior Planner, stated the operation of a full-service dry cleaning plant was being requested which would occupy a 2425 square foot portion of a one story 18,146 square foot shell space on a 1.4 acre site on the east side of Century Square Boulevard between Highway 90A north of U. S. Highway 59.  The facility would operate in combination with pick-up/ drop-off services and garment pressing.  The request does not include a drive thru, nor is the site suitable for one; all activities would be conducted inside the building.  The applicant previously operated at Sugar Creek Shopping Center, which did not require a CUP.  The applicant desires to relocate close to his original customer base.

 

There will be no outside machinery, petroleum based solvents are regulated and required to have secondary containment for all new and replaced dry cleaning units, regardless of the solvent used.  The applicant is required to register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality annually; dry cleaners are required to purchase all solvents from a registered distributor.

 

The applicant has requested to leave the doors on the south side of the building open during operating hours should air conditioning not be installed in the entire suite, which will require modifications to the building for the front office.  The applicant is aware of the alterations and will install double doors on the south side of the building if approved.  Screening is recommended along the south side of the building in front of the doors if left open during operating hours.  The applicant is agreeable but has offered the possibility of air conditioning the entire suite and keeping the doors closed.

 

Points for consideration:

·         CUP is for dry cleaning plant operation

·         All machinery is operated within the building

·         No drive thru service

·         Compatible with Land Use

·         Possible CUP conditions to mitigate adverse impacts

 

Chairman Zimmerman entertained comments from the public; hearing none the public hearing was closed.

 

Chairman Zimmerman introduced discussion on a request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a dry cleaning plant at 203 Century Square Boulevard in the General Business District (B-2).

 

The Commission discussed the building layout and screening if doors remain open during operations.  Concern was expressed regarding noise abatement; staff will research decibel noise levels to determine the impact to other businesses in the area.

 

PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)

 

permanent zoning of 21.289 acres, Telfair Section Sixteen

 

Chairman Zimmerman convened the public hearing to receive all persons desiring to be heard on a request for permanent zoning of 21.289 acres, Telfair Section Sixteen from Interim R-1 Zoning District to Standard Single-Family Residential District (R-1).

 

Ms. Lisa Kocich-Meyer, Senior Planner, stated the acreage is located west of Ditch H, east of Telfair Section 12 and north of U. S. Highway 59, and was incorporated into the city limits on July 1, 2004 with an interim R-1 zoning. 

 

The approved Telfair General Plan Amendment No. 3 provides for the option of either Standard Single-Family Residential (R-1) or Zero Lot Line Single-Family Residential (R-1Z) zoning.  The rezoning requested requires the property to comply with all Standard Single-Family Residential (R-1) zoning regulations. 

 

Chairman Zimmerman entertained comments from the public; hearing none the public hearing was closed.

 

Chairman Zimmerman introduced discussion on a request for permanent zoning of 21.289 acres, Telfair Section Sixteen from Interim R-1 Zoning District to Standard Single-Family Residential District (R-1). 

 

There were no questions or comments.

 

Conditional Use Permit- expansion of a church at 3100 Austin Parkway and Sweetwater Boulevard

 

Chairman Zimmerman introduced discussion on a Conditional Use Permit for expansion of a church located at 3100 Austin Parkway and Sweetwater Boulevard in the Standard Single-Family Residential District (R-1).

 

Mr. Travis Tanner, Planner, stated St. Laurence Catholic Church desires to expand the current facility capacity by an additional 500 seats.  The expansion does not include the elementary or middle school located on the site; added parking exceeds code requirements. 

 

Mr. Steve Ewbans, Building Committee St. Laurence Catholic Church, stated that the parishioners desire to have the inside of the church resemble the current look following the expansion.  Up to1500 people attend mass requiring additional seating.  The overall layout and parking design have been reviewed inclusive of pedestrian enhancements to aid the disabled and elderly.

 

Concern has been expressed by some residents regarding the addition of an esplanade cut on Sweetwater Boulevard into the church parking lot.  The esplanade cut has been removed from the CUP request and will be reviewed in the future by traffic engineers.

 

Chairman Zimmerman entertained questions and comments from the Commission.

 

The Commissioner discussed current street congestion, jaywalking and parking lot plans; the parking lot adequately accommodates the congregation.  The Commission requested that traffic and safety that currently exist due to parking on streets be addressed; and requested that a traffic impact analysis be done prior to a decision being made on a recommendation to City Council.

 

WORKSHOP (Continued)

 

amendment to Sugar Land Development Code for metal products stamping manufacturing in the Restricted Industrial District (M-1)

 

Chairman Zimmerman introduced discussion on an amendment to Sugar Land Development Code, Chapter Two, Article II to allow metal stampings manufacturing in the Restricted Industrial District (M-1).

 

Douglas Schomburg, Assistant Planning Director, stated the proposed amendment is to provide for SIC Code (Fabricated Metal Products) No. 3469 (Metal Stampings) manufacturing within the Restricted Industrial (M-1) District. Currently, the only district that provides for such manufacturing is the General Industrial (M-2) District, which allows “heavy industrial” type uses.  The Comprehensive Plan states that additional heavy industrial uses would not be supported as a general rule.

 

In 2006, the Tramontina USA Corporation, a cookware manufacturer, with U.S. corporate headquarters and warehousing / distribution center located in the city requested that the City examine current zoning codes regarding cookware manufacturing.  The company expressed interest in locating in Sugar Land Business Park a new metal stamping and pressing facility which produces pots, pans, and related cookware; the area is zoned M-1. 

 

The process of metal stamping and pressing is more typical of light industrial uses and does not involve metal smelting / furnaces.  The base material used in cookware manufacturing is rolled aluminum.  Generally the company uses pre-cut flat aluminum circles for pot/pan shaping, which avoids large-scale cutting operations. There are no significant environmental impacts.

 

Conditions within the standard Land Use Matrix may be appropriate for the proposed use to avoid undue impacts and to provide an appropriate buffer distance; of importance is the distance from residential.  Performance zoning criteria is an appropriate consideration that applies as a condition to allow the use at a site in an M-1 District if certain criteria are met:

 

Example:

            1000’ distance from residential districts

            All materials, merchandise, or equipment must be contained within an enclosed building

 

The distance of 1000’ provides a level of assurance that residential areas are buffered by distance; the minimum length of a residential block of lots in a subdivision is 500’ which is doubled in the 1000’ proposed.  If a metal stamping / processing use proposes to locate at a site closer than 1000’ to a residential district, a requirement for a CUP could be put into place.

 

Amendment to the zoning code for land uses should be carefully considered using as guides the Comprehensive Plan, good planning principles, examination of intensity, and appropriate mitigation measures. 

 

Chairman Zimmerman entertained questions and comments from the Commission.

 

The Commission discussed environmental concerns of heat, fumes, vibrations, buffering distances, noise levels, and placing limitations on types of uses in SIC list No. 3469.

 

The existing plant would meet requirements in that the work is performed inside buildings and fumes and heat would not require buffering.  The proposed amendment should include provisions requiring that all work be performed inside as M-1 zoning classification provides for outdoor storage and equipment. 

 

 FACTS FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 

AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO TELFAIR GENERAL PLAN

 

Chairman Zimmerman introduced consideration on a recommendation to the Mayor and Members of City Council for Amendment No. 3 to Telfair General Plan.

 

Mr. Douglas Schomburg, Assistant Planning Director, stated for the benefit of newly appointed Commissioners provided a summary on prior amendments to the Telfair Planned Development. 

 

Telfair Development to date includes an original General Plan that was approved on October 2003 by Council for Tracts 4 and 5 (2018 acres); there have been two subsequent amendments to the General Plan.    Prior amendments have focused on adjustment to street patterns, zoning options to R1-Z zero lot line and land use cells.

 

As of November 2006, there have been 719 lots recorded with permanent zoning of approximately 443 total acres; 269 acres of Standard Single-Family Residential, 146 acres of Zero Lot Single Family and 27.3 acres of mixed commercial development.

 

Key areas of proposed change for Amendment No. 3 are:

 

            • Removal of the residential Planned Development (PD) at US Highway 59 and University Boulevard

                        • Reduction of future commercial acreage at University and New Territory Boulevards

• Introduction of a mixed use concept for the area north of the future Madison Avenue and existing Telfair Avenue. The previous multi-family residential sites would be removed from the previous locations, consolidated and distributed within the mixed use concept in the new 74.8 PD area.

• Introduction of a Townhome land use classification located between Telfair Avenue and U.S. Highway 59

• Clarification of intent for future potential R-1Z (zero lot single family) to be limited to the PF 1, 2, 3, 5,7, and 16 areas

• Reduction in acreage for Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) above New Territory Boulevard

• Reconfiguration of collector streets in northwest quadrant of Telfair (Tract 4) above New Territory Blvd.

• One road connection through the commercial areas to US Highway 59 and a residential collector shown between the PF 3 area and the Townhome section

• Redistribution of the minimum required acreage devoted to State-owned petroleum drill sites from two 6 acre sites to four 3 acres sites

                        • Minor adjustments to acreage within other land use cells

 

Two modifications have been made to the General Plan since submittal: (1) land use concerns regarding added buffering and (2) mixed use PD areas regarding future planning uses.  The townhome proposal is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan.  A traffic analysis has been received with no issues on updates to rights-of- way and parks. The school right-of-way has been increased to 80 feet as recommend.

 

Mr. Travis Stone, Newland Communities, responded to questions regarding reduction in cemetery size on the General Plan explaining that the original General Plan deliberately reflected a larger cemetery than existed as a precautionary measure to avoid conflicts with state regulations on expanding existing cemeteries.

 

The reduction in park space from 78 to 72 acres far exceeds the minimum requirement stipulated in the General Plan.

 

Following a full and complete discussion, Commissioner DeLaRosa, seconded by Commissioner Stephens, made a motion to approve a recommendation to the Mayor and Members of City Council for Amendment No. 3 to Telfair General Plan.  The motion carried unanimously.

Following a full and complete discussion, Commissioner Yeung, seconded by Commissioner Wong, made a motion to approve Telfair Section 12 Final Plat with conditions of: prior recordation of New Territory Boulevard and Wescott Avenue street dedication plat, and references to Ashton Avenue are changed to Wescott Avenue prior to recordation.  The motion carried unanimously.

 

SUGAR LANE BUSINESS PARK PRELIMINARY REPLAT

 

Chairman Zimmerman introduced consideration on Sugar Lane Business Park Preliminary Replat.

 

Mr. Travis Tanner, Planner, stated the property is 17.6 acres, consisting of one reserve (Unrestricted Reserve “B”), a public street, and approximately 4,000 square feet of right-of-way dedicated for a right turn lane from University Boulevard to U. S. 90A.  Sugar Park Lane is a cul-de-sac street off of U. S. 90A and has a right-of-way width ranging from 70’ to 90’ at the intersection of  U. S. 90A. The property is zoned General Business District (B-2).  The portion of the recorded plat proposing to be replatted is Reserve “B” of U. S. 90A with access and utility easements to serve all portions of the reserve with access to streets and public utilities.

 

Following a full and complete discussion, Commissioner Stephens, seconded by Commissioner Ahmed, made a motion to approve Sugar Lane Business Park Preliminary Replat with the condition the plat clearly reflect flood plains and elevations prior to final approval.  The motion carried unanimously.
