being a portion of Tract R -9B Abstract 4 of the William Bloodgood Survey, Harris County,
Texas, from General Commercial (GC) to Heavy Industrial (HI).
Mrs. Foster stated that in going through the annexation process, they went throughout the city
and zoned the railroad right -of -way consistent to the adjacent zoning district which is done by
parcels. She stated that the parcel that has the railroad in this particular area extends next to
general commercial; therefore, they zoned the entire parcel general commercial which is not a
problem until development is proposed next to it because of buffers and screening requirements.
She further stated that this particular development will actually use the rail and the setbacks and
buffers are not reasonable in this area of the railroad so staff is requesting for a zoning change to
heavy industrial to be consistent with the parcel. Additionally, she stated that there's a larger
parcel to the west of the railroad that is light industrial and therefore if development is requested
on that parcel, the situation would be the same in that case as well.

Council Member Hoskins inquired as to why the railroad would not be exempted to avoid these
requests each time. In response to Council Members Hoskins inquiry, Mrs. Foster stated that
