HISTORY:
Gateway Business Park was approved by the City Council on June 12,
1990. The conditions of approval were as follows:

TRANSPORTATION:
Subject property is bound by Freeport Parkway (C4D/6) along its
western boundary, Gateway Blvd. (C4U) to the south, I.H. 635
(LBJ Freeway), and the St. Louis & Southwestern Railroad to the
north.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Vacant; Light Industrial (LI) zoning.
South - Vacant; Light Industrial (LI) zoning.
East - Vacant; Light Industrial (LI) zoning.
West - Vacant; Light Industrial (LI) zoning.
COMP. PLAN:
The comprehensive plan suggests light industrial as the highest and
best use of the property.
ANALYSIS:
The site in its present configuration will not allow for Interceramic
to situate their building according to their plans on the property.
Therefore, a replat must occur prior to any development on the
parcel.
Immediate plans for this site include a 250,000 square foot
building for Interceramic Tile Manufacturing. Phase I will occur
on Lot 1 with future plans to expand to a 500,000 square foot
building. Future expansion will occur on Lot 2 .
Additionally, the Engineering Department offers the following
comments:
1) The current plat filed for record for Gateway Business
Park shows a street running east to west through Block 2.
This street is important in the fact that it was located
generally in the area where the drainage would be
conveyed. There was a proposed drainage system in the
street. By elimination the street, you are also eliminating
the area to provide a drainage system. It is my
understanding ~ere is a facility to be constructed on
Lot 1 that has a building approximately 1,000 feet long that
could stretch from north to south on the lot and in essence
block any opportunity to convey drainage through this site.
A revised draingage plan sould be submitted for this site to
insure that adequate provisions are being provided for the
conveyance of drainage through the site.
3) A drainage study must be submitted to the Engineering
prior to the City Council meeting.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Approve the replat
2) Deny the replat
3) Modify the replat.
