A staff member reported that City Council approved the first reading for a Ward 2 Massey Oaks update 4–1 and scheduled a second reading for the following Monday. Two conditional use permits were also reported as approved: an arts instruction use (reported as 5–0) and an auto self-service wash approved 6–0 with seven proposed conditions. Staff said Council approved annexation for MUD 16 (Oak Road and Avalon Terrace) and awarded a contract to Baxter & Woodman to update the city’s Parks Master Plan.

Senior Planner Florence Buakko told the commission she will leave the city to join the Harris County Environmental Health Department as an urban planner. Buakko said she has served about five and a half years in her current role and that her last day would be the coming Friday.

Several commissioners used the discussion period to emphasize the commission’s role in applying the comprehensive plan and doing site-level due diligence. One commissioner urged that council members take the commission’s work and the adopted future land use map into account when voting. Chair Fuertes and other commissioners suggested adding a future agenda item to review the P&Z role, duties and the comprehensive plan process.

The commission set its next regular meeting for Tuesday, Jan. 21, noting the Monday holiday (Martin Luther King Jr. Day) that week.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning & Zoning Commission - Jan 06 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners heard a city council update on recent council approvals including Massey Oaks first reading, two conditional use permits, an annexation, and a contract to update the parks master plan; senior planner Florence Buakko announced she is leaving the city for a planner position at Harris County Environmental Health.","taxTitle","Pearland, Brazoria County, Texas","taxId",2772,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6355252,"Commission recommends rezoning 7.573 acres at Main Street and Bailey Road from heavy industrial to general commercial",608,1237000,1845000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2219020-7860002d1010b1524b78363338009e10&start=1237&end=1845","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2219020-7860002d1010b1524b78363338009e10/thumbnail_1237000.jpg","/articles/6355252/Pearland/Brazoria-County/Texas/Commission-recommends-rezoning-7573-acres-at-Main-Street-and-Bailey-Road-from-heavy-industrial-to-general-commercial","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6355252-675803ab5c20615dd43f7b01b9ff3065/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138710&Signature=ImH3TEqaHgt93BPjxqQbLS5RganMWRCEg4H315W9Y2fTzG0o6rC9RJGrlR1V6HaRDXqKwXPhFhysk-xsjDaJXUPz24B1ylycR17r8evTNMhdFsctI4x8E62lG1EaxVLMr1GzKMLVukwluxnl36ZDIO5lGs5jACenFcMKWl1Dt88Mftfoeq9kVcgf2pRcYp9FfjrNBhDOrdfMFAVQmgeW7Acz14X8GqmNEfGLtIltPUhf5RIVWzDGl2B6sVDzTrYINlTPttePmHyn6BNU-C9zmHz3zMOyAllC2MbFFI1ylXPh6A68lSitd0ZlN5V18BrsgUnd5CuuxHba57-0b3EPaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pearland Planning and Zoning Commission on Jan. 6 voted 7–0 to recommend rezoning 7.573 acres at the northwest corner of Main Street and Bailey Road from M‑2 (Heavy Industrial) to GC (General Commercial).

City planner Patrick Bauer presented staff’s report, telling the commission the site is predominantly within the commercial center place type on the future land use map and that GC zoning is compatible with that designation. Bauer said utilities are available along Main Street and that right-of-way dedication and other engineering requirements will be reviewed during subsequent permitting.

Applicant Will Benson of Benson Development said the rezoning aligns with the future land use plan and will allow commercial uses that the applicant considers more appropriate than heavy industrial for the site. \"Our intent is to move this forward into uses that are more appropriate for General Commercial than for M2 zoning,\" Benson said.

Commissioners discussing the item cited the proximity of Pearland High School across Main Street and the surrounding pattern of commercial zoning to the east and south as reasons to support the rezoning. A motion to recommend approval carried 7–0; the item will go before Pearland City Council on Monday, Jan. 27, 2025, for final action.

The commission’s recommendation does not itself change the zoning; it forwards the matter to council with the commission’s finding that the request meets the city’s zone-change approval criteria.","The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended rezoning 7.573 acres at the northwest corner of Main Street and Bailey Road from M‑2 (Heavy Industrial) to GC (General Commercial) to align with the future land use map and surrounding commercial uses.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6355257,"Planning and Zoning Commission approves preliminary plat for Enclave at Mercy Oaks with ownership correction required",239,969000,1208000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2219020-7860002d1010b1524b78363338009e10&start=969&end=1208","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2219020-7860002d1010b1524b78363338009e10/thumbnail_969000.jpg","/articles/6355257/Pearland/Brazoria-County/Texas/Planning-and-Zoning-Commission-approves-preliminary-plat-for-Enclave-at-Mercy-Oaks-with-ownership-correction-required","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6355257-e1cf76e7c15c548bfc116fcff7b866ed/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138710&Signature=fUJtTc-m3ICzS6kYIZ-XU0cJ1EH4lbGNV47qYH1Hy63~a3SgtPWOkPBNI56I2UbJj0XuuOR3uAE0HGGbJ1d0TfYbxj~RWrWNF~-qsrjWSGm99NyTY4pnIIh4~BCyHhvqLM9nW9LixY6Bglqml50TBxL6DCcmRP6GQx3QprPszpU1vKDX4roHkHPmmhf-qdauZVJs3mH0fNZXawUQqAlUXiuv3~fkOye2BIXzHPSLKzImGaaHo4B0Zq~tKHTzr8zAXkmsavUPw4IzZJtEX-kgp6drv6oDzOdpbc9AAVblZi1ru4WM9q8V1o5tCk8YcSgB0tte4YwsBeJwn3D9XufeWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pearland Planning and Zoning Commission on Jan. 6 approved a preliminary plat for the Enclave at Mercy Oaks with a condition that the ownership information be corrected on the final plat.

Senior Planner Florence Buakko told the commission the item was pulled from the consent agenda because of a discrepancy in recorded ownership for the property south of Old Massey Ranch Road, proposed as a single-family rental development within the Massey Oaks planned development. Buakko said staff recommended approval with a condition that the ownership discrepancy be addressed at final plat.

Andrew Lang of BGE, the applicant representative, apologized for the oversight and clarified the applicant was representing Massey Oaks BTR LLC, a distinct ownership entity from the one shown on the preliminary materials. \"The correct ownership group... we are the applicant on behalf of Massey Oaks BTR LLC,\" Lang said.

Commissioner Echols moved to approve the preliminary plat with the ownership correction condition; the motion was seconded and carried on a recorded vote of 5–0. The commission noted that an easement change referenced in the staff report will be addressed at final plat review.

The commission’s action advances the preliminary plat but does not approve final engineering, easement revisions or final ownership records; those items must be resolved before final plat approval. The item will return to staff review and, if necessary, to the commission as part of the final plat process.","The Pearland Planning and Zoning Commission approved a preliminary plat for the Enclave at Mercy Oaks after staff and the applicant clarified a discrepancy in recorded ownership; the commission conditioned approval on correcting ownership information at final plat.","actionData","errors"]
