Item # 9
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
Freeway office type uses
DISCUSSION: The application is for a 38,500 square foot, two story office
building to be located adjacent to LBJ Freeway. This will be the
home of the International Association of Assembly Manager's
World Headquarters, a group that manages convention centers.
The IAAM will occupy a portion of the building and plan to lease
out the remainder (somewhere between 20- 25,000 square feet).
This is a use that should be encouraged along LBJ; it is a handsome
office building, has great exposure to the Freeway and has
complimentary landscaping which will serve to enhance this
corridor. This is the kind of use we strongly support along this
corridor. With regard to the final plat, all staff comments are
minor in mature.
