From requestor:
2801 P Street LLC is requesting a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for the proposed improvement at 2851 E. P Street Deer Park TX as required by article 8.02.1. The proposed improvement will be for use as a truck yard and laydown yard (use group 34) as allowed under the current zoning (Industrial Park (M1) of the property. This use group and zoning requires a SUP for these allowed activities which will enable the owner to operate his business. The property is bordered only by the same industrial park zoning being used in ways similar to that proposed under this permit application. The West boundary is a drainage improvement (Tributary 1.78 To Willow Springs Bayou).
Improvements and operation of the property will follow article 12.01 .34 requirements for any principal and permitted uses in the use group including dust control, fencing, and placement of equipment and materials. There will be no hazardous or combustible materials and no use of shipping containers in the proposed improvements. All other codes and ordinances related to the construction permitting and operation of the improvements will be followed. Included on the site will be drainage improvements to manage stormwater runoff and a small office building.
This SUP is critical to allow the business of the property owner to operate under the principal uses permitted for Group 34 in zoning M1.
