2. REZONING OF APPROXIMATELY 13.32 ACRES NORTH OF BLUE HERON
AND EAST OF BARKULOO
a. Conduct a public hearing concerning a request to amend the official zoning map to
rezone approximately 13.32 acres generally located north of Blue Heron Pkwy and
approximately 1200 feet east of Barkuloo Road from an Open Space/Recreation (OR)
Zoning District to a Medium Density Mixed Residential (MFI) Zoning District.
At 6:32 P.M., Mayor Capetillo opened and conducted the public hearing concerning a request to
amend the official zoning map to rezone approximately 13.32 acres generally located north of
Blue Heron Pkwy and approximately 1200 feet east of Barkuloo Road from an Open
Space/Recreation (OR) Zoning District to a Medium Density Mixed Residential (MF 1) Zoning
District.
Director of Planning and Development Services Martin Scribner summarized the subject of the
public hearing regarding agenda item 2.a., which is to rezone approximately 13 acres from OR to
MFI, located on Blue Heron Parkway about 1,200 feet east of Barkuloo Road adjacent to the
David Crockett Elementary School. He noted on the map presented that the area nearby to the
subject property is zoned mostly OR and is surrounded by unincorporated areas that are either
vacant or Low -Density Residential. He stated that the development will consist of 126 one-story
Senior Living Multifamily Units and noted that the staff review found that the proposal is
generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Plan. Additionally,
he stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission held public hearings pertaining to this item
in May and June and recommended approval. The applicant and staff were available to answer
questions.
Mayor Capetillo had the two individuals that had signed up to speak to come forward to snake
their comments.
Mr. Patrick Petty, who lives just to the north of the subject property, stated that when the
property was annexed, the owner applied for an MF2 zoning designation to develop an apartment
complex, but it did not go through and since then, the owner made changes. He noted that several
of the properties around them were residential homes on two acres minimum or a little less than
that in size. Mr. Petty stated that in reading the 2025 Comprehensive Plan he read that when the
City annexes property, it's with the reasoning to bring a focal point between old Baytown and
the new Baytown, which is considered north of I-10 and we was not sure if the active senior
living facility would be a good focal point, although they like it better than the apartment
complex being that it would be single -story which would not overlook the neighboring homes.
He also noted that their only concern was the uncertainty that if the property was rezoned to
MFI, what else could be built there.
Mayor Capetillo noted that he agreed that the single-family MF 1 designation was less intrusive,
obviously to the neighbors.
Mr. Gerald Grissom with BGE, the applicant, noted that he had only signed up to speak in case
Council had any questions and had no further comments to make at the time.

and an adjustment from the fall zone regulation(s) for a 60' x 60' leased area out of
approximately 10 acres generally located south of Decker Drive and east of Avenue J.
Director of Planning and Development Services Martin Scribner summarized the subject of the
public hearing regarding agenda item 3.a. and noted that the applicant requested an adjustment to
the fall zone regulations, which would only affect the utility lines along the northern property
line. He noted that the building technology for this kind of tower has kind of evolved over the
last couple of decades and were really designed now to collapse more downward rather than to
just fall flat. Mr. Scribner indicated that there was also a requirement that the tower be located at
least 525 feet from a single-family zoning district and as proposed this tower was about 27 feet
short of that but the nearby SF2 district was currently vacant and is not believed that this
variance from the requirement would cause any detriment to that property. He stated that the
Planning and Zoning Commission held public hearings pertaining to this item in May and June
and recommended approval with the adjustment to the fall zone requirements and the distancing
requirements to the nearby SF2 District subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. The
applicant and staff were available to answer any questions.
With there being no one registered to speak regarding agenda item 3.a., Mayor Capetillo closed
the public hearing at 6:46 P.M.

lots, 22 acres of multifamily units, and 35 acres of commercial use. He noted that although the
original agreement was done about a year ago, the applicant requested the amendment to account

the single-family lots, moved the location of the detention as it was proposed, raised the level of
the landscaping requirements, and added more connectivity in the way of additional trails and
sidewalks. He stated that the staff worked extensively with the applicant to ensure that the
overall level of quality for this project is actually heightened by the amendment request and
noted that staff recommended approval.
