Commission approves 'The Edge' office site plan on West Edgewood Drive
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission approved a three‑building office site plan called The Edge (approx. 4.9 acres) at West Edgewood Drive. Commissioners complimented the design and preservation of mature oaks and requested staff confirm handicap parking details during inspection.
The Friendswood Planning & Zoning Commission approved a site plan April 9 for "The Edge," a three‑building office development at 401, 395 and 391 West Edgewood Drive spanning roughly 4.9 acres.
Aubrey summarized the project as three buildings that will share parking, detention and utilities; the largest building will house the applicant Jacob White's office, a second building is planned for a steel drafting firm and the third is speculative. Applicant Chris (representing Jacob White) described the concept and said landscaping will preserve existing oaks in front of the site.
Commissioners praised the layout and landscaping and asked clarifying questions about handicap parking dimensions and fencing; staff said detailed handicap dimensions will be checked at inspection and that the fence will be wood for side privacy. Commissioner Bounds asked that the signage color be softened so it is not visually dominant along the road.
The commission voted to approve the site plan by motion and voice vote. Staff will continue with standard permitting and inspection steps, including verification of accessible parking layout.
Next step: applicant to proceed with permit application and staff to confirm required site details during plan review and inspection.
