Conduct a public hearing, discussion, and possible action on an Ordinance Annexing and assigning a Commercial- General (C-G) Zoning to District to an approximately 5.234 acres tract, within the Angleton ETJ into the City Limits, for property located at the Northwest intersection of Farm to Market (FM523) and State Highway 288 (SH288) southbound off-ramp, and as listed by Brazoria County Appraisal District, P.I.D No. 600368.] CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON AN ORDINANCE ANNEXING AND ASSIGNING A COMMERCIAL GENERAL ZONING TO DISTRICT TO AN APPROXIMATELY 5.234 ACRES TRACT WITHIN THE ANGLETON ETJ INTO THE CITY LIMITS FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF FARM TO MARKET 523 AND STATE HIGHWAY 288 SOUTHBOUND OFF RAMP AND IS LISTED BY BRAZORIA COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT PID NO. 600368. MR. SPRIGGS, WOULD YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS ITEM, PLEASE? THANK YOU, AND GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. THIS ITEM, AS STATED, IS BEFORE YOU FOR THE PURPOSES OF FUTURE ANNEXATION OF THE PROPERTY ON FIVE OR SO ACRES. THE APPLICANT IS HOPING AND PROPOSING TO DEVELOP A CONVENIENCE STORE AT THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION OFF OF 523, RIGHT AT THAT OFF RAMP. AS DESCRIBED, THERE'S A GRAPHIC RIGHT BELOW THIS PORTION THAT GIVES US A AN OVERALL AREA IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. THE RED AREA WOULD BE THE CITY LIMITS AND WHAT'S ACROSS THE HIGHWAY. OF COURSE, IT'S WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. SO THIS AREA IN WHICH YOU'RE ENTERTAINING TODAY WOULD BE FOR THE PURPOSES OF ZONING IT TO POSSIBLY COMMERCIAL GENERAL DISTRICT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THAT CONVENIENCE STORE. THE APPLICANTS, OF COURSE, ARE PROPOSING THIS DEVELOPMENT, WHICH FALLS WITHIN OUR IMPACT FEE ZONE. SO AS PART OF THE ANNEXATION, THEY WILL BE SUBJECTED TO A SERVICE PLAN IN WHICH I PLACED BOTH DRAFTS OF THE ORDINANCE OF ANNEXATION, ASSIGNING THE DISTRICT, AS WELL AS ACCEPTING THAT UTILITY PLAN FOR THE SITE. SO THEY HAVE TO BORE UNDER THE INTERSTATE AND CONNECT THOSE UTILITIES. SO THIS PARTICULAR AERIAL MAP WOULD ALSO GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION. WITH THE LOVE'S TRUCK STOP ACROSS THE STREET, THEY'RE PROPOSING SOMETHING SIMILAR IN WHICH I THINK A LAYOUT MIGHT BE ATTACHED FOR THE 5400 SQUARE FOOT CONVENIENCE STORE THAT WOULD BE PLACED ON THE SITE. WE HAVE NOTICED THIS PARTICULAR ITEM AS REQUIRED. TYPICALLY, WE DO NOTIFY EVERYONE WITHIN 200FT WHEN IT'S IN THE COUNTY. THAT'S OPTIONAL, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, I THINK WE HAVE THE OWNERSHIP TO THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY IS PRESENT TODAY AS WELL. SO THAT'S IT IN A NUTSHELL IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR IN TERMS OF YOUR ACTION SPECIFICALLY, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE ANNEXATION ITSELF, BUT YOUR DECISION OF ZONING IT TO COMMERCIAL GENERAL WOULD BE CONTINGENT UPON COUNCIL FIRST PASSING THE ANNEXATION ORDINANCE. AND THESE ARE JUST SOME VIEWS OF THE SITE IN WHICH MOST OF YOU MIGHT BE FAMILIAR WITH. AND THEN, THAT DECISION THAT YOU MAKE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THAT SUCCESSFUL APPROVING OF THE ANNEXATION. THAT'S ALL THAT STAFF HAS. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING AS STATED. AND THEN WE'LL BE BACK IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION ON OUR ROLE TODAY. YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO MOVED. SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SPOOR AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ROBERSONK. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? I'M SORRY, HESTON. MY EARS AREN'T WHAT THEY USED TO BE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, INDICATE SO BY SAYING AYE. AYE. OPPOSED, SAME SIGN. OKAY. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN. AT THIS TIME, ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS ISSUE IS WELCOME TO COME TO THE PODIUM AND GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, AND WE'LL HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE. AND AT THIS TIME, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO MOVED. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SPOOR. SECOND. SECOND BY COMMISSIONER GOODIN FIRST. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. AYE. ALL RIGHT. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED. ALL RIGHT. WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE REGARDING THIS ISSUE FOR OTIS OR THE DEVELOPER?

MY NAME IS JUSTIN WEATHERS AND I'M WITH LASKO DEVELOPMENT, THE DEVELOPER. OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. DID WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING? WE DID. I'M SORRY. SO, QUESTION. THIS IS LISTED AS A CONVENIENCE STORE. BUT IT'S GOT 42 PARKING SPOTS. IS THIS MORE OF, LIKE, A TRUCK STOP? LIKE THE LOVE'S ACROSS THE. SIMILAR. OKAY. SO WE LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS BASICALLY LIKE A MINI TRUCK STOP. IT DOES HAVE DIESEL. OKAY. BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE THINGS LIKE SHOWER SERVICES, LAUNDRY. TYPICALLY VERY SELDOM IS THERE EVEN OVERNIGHT PARKING. USUALLY IT'S JUST KIND OF A FUEL AND GO TYPE OF DEAL AS OPPOSED TO LOVE'S WHAT'S THE LONG TERM PARKING AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. OKAY. SITS ON, YOU KNOW, IT'S ONLY FIVE ACRES. I'M SURE THE LOVE'S IS 10 TO 15 ACRES. YOU KNOW, IT'S MORE OF LIKE A TRUCK STOP TRAVEL CENTER WHERE THIS IS A TYPICAL 7/11. I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN THEM. THERE'S SEVERAL UP AND DOWN 288. AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN THIS ONE IS THAT IT WILL HAVE DIESEL PUMPS IN THE REAR SO THEY CAN GO AROUND FUEL AND THEN LOOP AROUND AND COME BACK OUT. OKAY. SAME PROTOTYPE STORE. LAREDO TACO, 7/11. AND DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YES, SIR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. WEATHERS. YES. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. WEATHERS WHILE HE'S AT THE PODIUM. WE'LL EXCHANGE NUMBERS AFTER ALL. RIGHT. PERFECT. NO MORE QUESTIONS? I THINK THAT'S IT FOR NOW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING ME. AND THE ONLY THING I DIDN'T CLARIFY. THE PLAT WILL COME BACK TO YOU. SO THAT WILL ENTERTAIN, YOU KNOW, DRAINAGE COORDINATION AND ALL OF THE THINGS OF THAT NATURE, HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT COORDINATION AND EVERYTHING. WE'RE JUST CONSIDERING THE ZONING CHANGES. ZONING TODAY AND PLANNING WILL BE NEXT. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? I'D LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE RECOMMEND. SORRY. THAT WE RECOMMEND REZONING THIS AS COMMERCIAL GENERAL CONTINGENT ON ANNEXATION. AND DO WE NEED TO MAKE IT CONTINGENT ON THE SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION OF THIS UTILITIES AGREEMENT AS WELL? WHICH IS A PART OF THE ANNEXATION. YES, SIR. OKAY. YES. THEN CONTINGENT ON ANNEXATION. SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HESTON AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER ROBERSONK. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION INDICATE SO BY SAYING AYE. AYE.
