New resident proposes small portable 'u-cart' concrete business to serve Pasadena
Summary
Michael Murray, a recent property buyer, asked the council during public comment for consideration of opening a portable 'u-cart' concrete operation on his commercial acre, saying it would provide quiet, 24-hour service for emergency pothole repairs and small local orders.
Michael Murray told the council he recently bought property on Allen Genoa near the new McDonald's by South Houston High School and proposed opening a small portable "u-cart" concrete business there to serve Pasadena and nearby communities.
Murray described a one-acre commercial site behind a store where a trailer-based portable plant would operate quietly with about 20 u-carts to mix small quantities on demand. He said the business could operate 24 hours to support emergency pothole repairs and local needs and offered to assist a wheelchair user with railings after the meeting.
Murray's remarks were made during the public-comment period; council took no formal action on zoning or permits during the session. He said he would pursue necessary approvals for the commercial use of his parcel.
