Consider a making a recommendation to the City Council concerning (i) a requested zone classification change for property located at 3801 RM 528 Rd., being further described as106.472 acres of land situated in the Sarah McKissick League, Abstract Number 549, Harris County, Texas; being all of Restricted Reserves “A” and “C” Clear Creek Community Church Friendswood, a subdivision plat of record at Film Code No 691601, Harris County Map Records; and being the residue of a called 135.778 acre tract of land conveyed to Clear Creek Community Church as described by deed recorded under Harris County Clerk’s File No. 20150231965, City of Friendswood, Harris County, Texas, to change from Planned Unit Development (Ord. 2015-18) to a revised Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow a mixed-use development and (ii) an amendment to the Future Land Use Map (2021) to change the designation of the described 106.472 acres from “Public and Semi Public” and “Retail” to “Mixed Use.” Harbin stated the developer made changes in response to the Commission's questions. She said the building height for buildings along FM 528 will be a maximum of 40-feet tall and the remaining buildings will be a maximum of 70-feet tall. She said the Regulation Matrix had been updated to specify that the mixed use buildings would have a maximum density of 29 units per acre and the multi-family tract would also have a maximum density of 29 units per acre. Commissioner Rives suggested wording to preclude residential units on the ground floor of the mixed-use buildings, mimicking the Downtown District requirements. The developer, Mr. Louis Tannos, agreed and said that was the intention. Commissioner Sasson asked the developer to guarantee the commercial development would be phased out prior to occupancy of the multi-family residential property. Mr. Tannos said he could add language to a private covenant, but not the PUD. Sasson said the City Council should include that caveat in their economic agreement with Tannos. Koerner motioned to amend her motion. Seconded by Rives. The motion passed unanimously. Koerner motioned to approve the amended motion to include the revised regulation matrix, allowing residential units above the first commercial floor on Lots 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11, and suggested a phasing plan be required by the City Council. The motion passed unanimously. B.
