The applicant proposes a large development-servingg detention pond on the southern portion of the development, just north of Turner Road. As the site is development in phases, adequate detention capacity will be maintained at all times. Land Use Analysis Comprehensive Plan The property along the League City Parkway corridor is dominantly zoned commercial from Hobbs Road eastwards to I-45 Highway, being a mixture off General Commercial and Mixed Use Commercial zoning districts. According to the Future Land Use Plan, this tract is classified as Enhanced Auto Dominant Commercial and is a transitional area between the developed residential subdivisions to the west and the commercial corridor along I-45 Highway. Enhanced Auto Dominate Commercial focuses on the convenience and access for customers and employees almost exclusively by automobile. Thesee districts are typically at major intersections or linear along major roadways as standalone or retail strip centers. Walkability and connectivity being minimal. The buildings are typically setback with parking dominating the site. Landscaping is emphasized, but most often is an accent to parking or the structures. Uses of the property are generally limited to retail with some office spaces and are rarely mixed. Site Development Should the request be approved, the development will be required to have an approved master plan, plat the property and have each phase undergo review by the Development Review Committee (DRC) for conformance with the City s development ordinances (buffer yards, landscaping, sidewalks, parking, driveways, etc.). It should also be noted that Bauerschlag Elementaryy is located on the southwestt corner of League City Z14-03 (Brittany Estates) June 2, 2014 P&Z Meeting Page 2 of 3
