In the fall of 2000, Council apl~roved a Conceptual Planned
Development allowing seven offi0e/warehouse facilities on this
property. Also approved was a Fin~ll Plat allowing the construction
of Freeport Parkway from Bethel to Ruby Road.
In 2001, Council approved a series of plans dealing with tree
mitigation, signage, landscaping and reduced parking. Warehouse
use parking requirements were red¢ced from one space for each
1,000-square feet of warehouse to one space for each 5,000-square
feet. Additional monument signage was allowed and a tree
reparation/landscape plan was appro~ved. An approximate 600,000-
square-foot warehouse was constructed now primarily housing a
book depository.
In 2002, a 160,000-square-foot buil~ling was approved for U-Line,
Inc., and in 2003 construction of a 1,100,000-square-foot building
was approved for the Container Store.
In July of 2004, two more buildingi were approved consisting of a
140,000-square-foot building now housing a bank back-office
facility and a 70,000-square-foot building currently being advertised
for lease.
TRANSPORTATION:
Bethel Road is a two-lane asphalt street proposed to be a C4D, four-
lane divided thoroughfare in 90 feeti of right-of-way being designed
currently with construction estimat~,d to begin in 2006. Freeport
Parkway is an improved C4D/6, fbur-lane-divided street built to
standard within a 11 O-foot right-of-Way. There is a Hike and Bike
easement adjacent to this property on the western boundary of this
property.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan st ows the property as suitable
for light industrial and sho¥"room uses.
DISCUSSION:
This is a companion piece to the zonin~ change request at Freeport
Parkway and Bethel Road. As such, the ~pplicant is requesting to replat
a remaining portion of Lot 2, Block A iinto two building sites. The
eastern lot (Lot 2R-2) is proposed to accc~nmodate a 93,300-square-foot
building, and the western lot (Lot 2R-l) a 143,200-square-foot structure.
Both are proposed for office/showroom/~Varehouse uses, similar to the
existing uses within this light industrial area. Because the uses planned
for these replatted lots reflect those suggested by the Comprehensive
Plan, are an extension of the existing hses within the area and are
compatible with existing development, staff can support this request.
