Planned development for Pisco/Houston Levy sent to full commission after split recommendations
Summary
A planned‑development substitute (PD2026012) for property at Pisco Road was presented; planning staff recommended rejection because of road capacity and neighborhood compatibility, but the Land Use Control Board had approved the PD 5–3. The committee voted to send a high‑level presentation to the full commission and hear a full report Monday.
County planning staff described PD2026012 (the Twinwood planned development at Pisco Road and Houston Levy) and explained the case was remanded from a rezoning to a planned development to allow one reading instead of three. "The position of staff is rejection for this request given the character of the surrounding area and more significantly the compatibility with the roads that service the location," Chloe Christian, DPD, told the committee, citing narrow local roads unsuited to industrial‑intense uses.
Dedrick Brennan, representing the applicant, said the developer will dedicate and improve Houston Levy and Pisco roads and described the project as an employment center. He asked the body to approve the outline plan conditions adopted by the Land Use Control Board. Commissioners agreed to give a high‑level overview in committee and take the full presentation Monday; Commissioner Mills moved to send the item down without recommendation. The committee recorded the Land Use Control Board vote (5 yes, 3 no) and noted one pre‑hearing letter of opposition had been received.
Staff emphasized traffic, road capacity, and compatibility with adjacent residential character as primary concerns. The committee did not adopt a recommendation to approve the PD today and directed fuller documentation and public notice for Monday's full hearing.
