PROPOSED LAND USE CHANGES IN THE BARKALOO ROAD AREA a. Conduct a public hearing concerning a request for a Special Use Permit (SUP) as it relates to the construction of a structure with a nonconforming use for two (2) acres, located at 5623 Barkaloo Road, zoned Open Space/Recreation (OR), legally described as part and out of Tract 17A, H. F Gillette Survey, Abstract 297, Harris County, Texas. At 6:46 P.M., Mayor Capetillo opened and conducted a public hearing concerning a request for a Special Use Permit (SUP) as it relates to the construction of a structure with a nonconforming use for two (2) acres, located at 5623 Barkaloo Road, zoned Open Space/Recreation (OR), legally described as part and out of Tract 17A, H. F Gillette Survey, Abstract 297, Harris County, Texas. Planning and Community Development Director, Tiffany Foster presented a summary of the public hearing and stated that the subject property was annexed into the City in November 2017, in which there was an existing operating business established, but in January of 2018, was destroyed by fire. She noted that at that time the property was zoned as open space recreational (OR), which is the most restrictive zoning in the City. She stated that the owners planned to rebuild on the existing site a light industrial facility similar to what was destroyed by fire, but the zone of OR would mean that the land use type would be non -conforming, in which the facility would not be allowed. However, she stated that the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 09, 2019 Page 4 of 13 outlines a path (SUP) per 1.27 (b)(f), which had never been done before, for an owner to take if there was a situation where a non -conforming use was destroyed 50% or more by fire or natural disaster. She stated that because of this particular situation, the owners requested a Special Use Permit in order to rebuild the structure and resume the non -conforming use. She noted that the SUP allows for there to be reasonable conditions placed within the permit that City Council finds appropriate. Mrs. Foster further noted that when the City adopted zoning in 2013, there were issues with the City being older and not having zoning, which resulted in having non -conforming uses because of the variety of land situations. Regarding this SUP request she stated that there were conditions recommended by staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) that included adding buffers and landscaping in and around the property that wasn't there before, as well as, for them to follow any other standards regarding light industrial type zoning or codes in the City of Baytown. Additionally, she stated that other conditions included were as follows: an opaque screen around the perimeter of the property, a 15 foot vegetation buffer along both sides of the property, a 25 foot vegetation buffer along the front of the property (minus the driveways); meet all of the architectural, articulation, masonry and design requirements of the Light Industrial zoning district, and the follow the same vegetative buffer standard used for self -storage. Karl Larsen registered to speak at the public hearing regarding agenda item 4.a. to answer questions concerning the business. Mr. Larsen is the president of the business, CESCO, which was in operation at the location prior to the fire incident. Council Member Betancourth stated that some of the neighbors in the area near the location where the business was located were concerned about the reasoning of the fire. She stated that when researching more information with such regard, it was determined that the fire was caused by an electrical issue not related to any type of negligence regarding chemicals. She further inquired of the types of chemicals that would be at the site. Mr. Larsen stated that they would have T-2 chemicals on site and noted that they were limited on the amount that could be stored, in which they follow all regulations with such regard. He stated that the chemicals used makes common household detergents and cleaners and noted that they have a storage plan, in which Fire Code Engineer, Ed Cope redesigned in the year 2011. Council Member Himsel inquired of the reason that the location was chosen. Mr. Larsen stated that they chose the specific location because the level of ground was high and there was already light industrial in the area. Mayor Capetillo closed the public hearing regarding agenda item at 7:03 P.M. b. Conduct a public hearing concerning an amendment to the Baytown 2025 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) for properties generally located along Barkaloo Road, south of its intersection with East Archer Road and north of its intersection with East Cedar Bayou Lynchburg Road in Harris County, Texas.

Mrs. Foster presented a summary of the public hearing and stated that the land was annexed in the year 2017, in which staff planned to go back and rezone the areas. She stated that the initial step in zoning annexed land is to do a land use assessment then look at the future land use plan for verification of the lands designated use prior to the annexation and what would be more appropriate. She stated that the FLUP covers outside of the city limits even though the City cannot enforce such regulations. She stated that this SUP request prompted staff to evaluate the area, in which the existing FLUP showed to be low to medium density residential. She further stated that the P&Z recommended to extend some of the business park which would allow for light industrial uses in the area on the east and west side of Barkaloo, as well as, a small area around the airport and extending the commercial corridor along west Cedar Bayou Lynchburg. Additionally, she stated that staff would follow up with identifying how to zone the parcels after a decision is determined on the FLUP. Karl Larsen registered to speak at the public hearing regarding agenda item 4.b., but did not do SO. At 7:06 P.M., Mayor Capetillo closed the public hearing regarding agenda 4.b. C. Consider an ordinance amending the Baytown 2025 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) for properties generally located along Barkaloo Road, south of its intersection with East Archer Road and north of its intersection with East Cedar Bayou Lynchburg Road in Harris County, Texas. Mrs. Foster noted that the agenda item was regarding the request for approval of the FLUP (Map Option Alternate 1) to extend the business park area and the commercial corridor along Cedar Bayou Lynchburg. Council Member Betancourth noted that after driving the area many times she was comfortable with the recommendations being that Mrs. Foster mentioned that no new residential could be built in the business park. A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Heather Betancourth and seconded by Council Member Chris Presley approving Ordinance No. 14,075, regarding agenda item 4.c., with map option #1. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Mayor Brandon Capetillo, Council Member Laura Alvarado, Council Member Chris Presley, Council Member Charles Johnson, Mayor Pro Tern Heather Betancourth, Council Member Robert C. Hoskins, Council Member David Himsel Nays: None Approved City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 09, 2019 Page 6 of 13 ORDINANCE NO. 14,075 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, AMENDING THE BAYTOWN 2025 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO UPDATE THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN FOR PROPERTIES GENERALLY LOCATED ALONG BARKALOO ROAD, SOUTH OF ITS INTERSECTION WITH EAST ARCHER ROAD AND NORTH OF ITS INTERSECTION WITH EAST CEDAR BAYOU LYNCHBURG ROAD IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE THEREOF. d. Consider an ordinance approving a Special Use Permit (SUP) for the construction of a structure with a nonconforming use for two (2) acres, located at 5623 Barkaloo Road, zoned Open Space/Recreation (OR), legally described as part and out of Tract 17A, H. F Gillette Survey, Abstract 297, Harris County, Texas. Mrs. Foster presented the agenda item and stated that Ordinance No. 14,076, approves the SUP with the conditions referenced during the public heating on agenda item 4.a. Council Member Hoskins stated that there's a plan to bring water and sewer into the subject area and further inquired if a sprinkler system would be connected and required. Mrs. Foster stated that the sprinkler system was required and was part of the business's preliminary plan. Council Member Hoskins further inquired of the height requirement on the install of the vegetation. Mrs. Foster stated that five (5) feet was the height requirement for the install of vegetation. Council Member Hoskins also inquired as to the reason for choosing the SUP route rather than the rezoning request. Mrs. Foster stated that the owner requested for both, but when staff started to evaluate the entire area, staff felt that it was more prudent for the owner to pursue the SUP. She noted that if the owner applied to rezone this one lot, they would have compatibility standards, because the adjacent lots were zoned open space, which would not work as compatibility would have to be 200 feet, which is what is on both sides because the entire area was not being rezoned. Additionally, Mrs. Foster noted for clarity that the owner would have to start the process to design and rebuild within twelve months and once everything was completed the SUP would be good forever. Mayor Capetillo stated for clarity that the amendment to the ordinance included the following conditions: that the same size building structure not increase intensity; the vegetation buffers would be 15 foot along the side and 25 foot along the front; all of the architectural, articulation, masonry and design requirements of the Light Industrial zoning district would be met, and the vegetative buffer zone used would be the same one used for self -storage; provide an opaque screen around the perimeter of the property; and the chemicals would not increase beyond the Tier 2 intensity.
