as part of Lots 16 and 17,Block 20, Highland Farms, Harris County,Texas.
At 6:55 P.M., Mayor DonCarlos opened and conducted the public hearing concerning the
proposed Arabella at Baytown Planned Unit Development (PUD) District for approximately
17.00 acres of land, located along the south right-of-way of Hunt Road and about 1,300 feet east
of Garth Road, legally described as part of Lots 16 and 17, Block 20, Highland Farms, Harris
County,Texas.
Director of Planning and Community Development,Tiffany Foster presented a summary of the
public hearing and stated that the proposed Arabella at Baytown Planned Unit Development
(PUD) District is located on Hunt Road east of Garth Road behind where the new HEB is going
to be located. She stated that this project is a multi-generational type of housing complex with
approximately 204 units for those who are 55 and older that includes various types of living
facilities. She noted that this is one of the flexibility projects that were envisioned when
Council did the ULDC and zoning code that allowed flexibility by giving a developer the ability
to change some of the development and design standards if the project didn't fit neatly in one of
the zoning categories. Mrs. Foster stated that this property is currently zoned as general
commercial, which goes through a zoning process of going before the Planning and Zoning
Commission to look at how they can deviate from any of the other general commercial
designations or requirements to make the project work. She stated for example that this project
has an assistance living facility, bungalows or cottages for independent living, and a memory

care facility, in which the bungalow and apartment type units is not typically allowed in general
commercial; therefore, the developer submitted a PUD to allow the flexibility of having all those
types of uses on one property as one project.
Chuck Stark registered to speak before the public hearing regarding agenda item 4.a. and stated
that he's with the Engineering Firm, Barron Stark and Swift, who represents the developer of the
project. He stated that the Arabella product is something that they've done in numerous
communities across the state of Texas and is centered on senior housing. He stated that the
concept is to give seniors a location to live that will meet some of the unique cares and lifestyles
appropriate for their age. He noted that assisted living would be a lesser level of care than a
skilled nursing, but more than just living in an apartment alone. He further noted that the
memory care would be the industry term for Alzheimer and the independent living would be for
someone who wants to get out of their home to live in a managed environment. Mr. Stark stated
that this project is constructed as a campus facility under a single ownership where everything is
for lease and not for sale. He stated that the management of this unit will offer the amenities
particular to this age group and there will be a concierge service, a shuttle service to take them to
appointments or grocery store, a nail care and hair salon, a clubhouse, a movie room within the
facility, and a commercial kitchen with the option of participating in a meal plan. He stated that
from their experience the people that typically live in this type of facility are those who have a
spouse in the memory care facility who they want to be close to. Additionally, he stated that
location is very important to them in particular, the proximity to grocery stores and that's why the
site adjacent to the HEB was attractive to the owners.
Council Member Sain inquired if the individual units have the ability to prepare food. Mr. Stark
stated that the 120 independent living units do, but the assisted living and memory care units do
not and they would eat in the main dining hall. Additionally, Mr. Stark noted that certain units
are set for single or double occupancy, the unit is fully gated, and that this is a single phased
project.
Mayor DonCarlos closed the public hearing at 7:04 P.M.
b. Consider an ordinance approving the detail plan to create a Planned Unit
Development (PUD) District for Arabella at Baytown, which is approximately 17.00 acres
of land, located along the south right-of-way of Hunt Road and about 1,300 feet east of
Garth Road, legally described as part of Lots 16 and 17, Block 20, Highland Farms, Harris
County, Texas; amending the official zoning map for the PUD District; and authorizing
within the PUD District deviations from and adjustments to the General Commercial (GC)
Zoning District standards.

actually required because of the change to the capital improvement plan that was associated with
the impact fees, whereas there were some projects that were water and sewer related to the San
Jacinto Boulevard Project. She noted that they wanted to provide clarity regarding impact fees as
it relates to the San Jacinto Boulevard Project. Ms. Curtis stated that there are three (3) different
parts: the land use assumptions, the capital improvement plan, and the actual calculations of the
impact fees, in which, with the land use assumptions there has to be a dedicated land service
area, which is the ETJ. She stated that with this amendment they updated the city limits and the
ETJ with the annexations from Wallisville and noted that this does not impact the land use
assumptions. She stated that the land use assumptions adopted in 2013 are still consistent and the
growth assumptions are not changing with this update. Ms. Curtis stated that the 2013/2014
impacts fees CIP map was slightly modified mainly in the area of San Jacinto Boulevard. She
stated that there are seven (7) projects related to the San Jacinto Boulevard Project with one (1)
being located along 1-10 that relocates sewer to a different wastewater treatment plan. She stated
that this will be the new wastewater CIP which will be adopted as part of the new impact fee
report.
With regards to the water impact CIP, Ms. Curtis stated that the only project that changed in the
revised wastewater CIP was that San Jacinto Boulevard has been extended to Cedar Bayou
Lynchburg which is consistent with the San Jacinto Water Line Design. She stated that the
revision to the maximum assessable fee for wastewater is $2,437, which is a change from $2,356
in 2014 and for water is $1,087, which is a change from $1,074 in 2014. She noted that Kimley
Horn only brings the maximum assessable fee and per law its Council responsibility for what's
written in the ordinance and what is charged, in which council is allowed to charge between $0
to the maximum assessable fee.
