ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
Approval of the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 07-47 which provides the following changes to Land Use Plan.
Industrial Areas provide for intensive industrial, manufacturing and maritime related uses located nonadjacent to residential neighborhoods. Future expansion of heavy industrial uses should be limited to Shoal Point, the ship channel district and remaining undeveloped lands to the south of the existing petrochemical facilities.
A. Industrial Transition Zone- This zone is located parallel with and adjacent to the south side of Texas Avenue. Any proposed development within the Industrial Transition Zone should be limited to nonresidential uses. Typical land uses for this zone could consist of outdoor storage, office professional, commercial, and industrial warehousing. This zone will require enhanced performance standards i.e., setbacks, parking, landscaping, and screening. The intent for the enhanced performance standards is to provide reasonable aesthetics and visual screening to the industrial land use south of 5th Avenue South.
B. Dickinson Bayou Transition - This zone is located on the north side of Dickinson Bayou east of 29th Street and south of Avenue R. Land uses within this zone include all uses except heavy industry. This zone will require enhanced performance standards, i.e., setbacks, parking, landscaping and screening that are intended to provide a more attractive waterfront environment.
