5.Discussion and possible action regarding.the Entryway Overlay District (EOD) and the
Downtown Overlay District (DOD) language.
Chairman Be1trand stated that the discussion of the EOD and DOD was initiated by
Com.missioner Burke.
Chairman Be1irand defined the limits of the EOD. The EOD runs from Beamer Rd. at
FM 2351 to FM 518. The EOD also extends along FM 518 from the City limits of
Pearland to FM 2351 and from the City limits of League City to FM 528. The EOD also
runs the entire City limits of Friendswood along FM 528.
The DOD limits extend along FM 518 from FM 2351 to Whispering Pines.
Initially, these districts were set up to have the development that would occur in these
district bring a very positive image to the City. These requirements would be such things
as broader setbacks, more landscaping requirements, etc.
Commissioner Burke would like a map delineating the limits of the EOD and DOD
included in the ordinance as an appendix.
Some other items of concern for Commissioner Burke regarding the EOD and DOD are
sign regulations, fa9ade, architectural metal, screening, and other various definitions and
verbiages.
