Land Use
The City of Pearland and its ETJ are largely developed. It is imperative that there be a plan for future development for this remaining developable land. The FLUP will help the City continue to provide a high quality of life for its residents by securing a healthy future tax base. As these remaining parcels develop, the FLUP will ensure that the uses being implemented are in accordance with Pearland’s vision and community values.
Catalyst Sites As part of the planning process, the project team identified six areas that have the potential to continue developing in the near future. Catalyst sites are areas within the City that have a conglomeration of vacant land and land that has potential for development that can accommodate future development. Each site is unique given its location, existing character, and surrounding uses. These factors, in combination with the types of uses the community would like to see in the future, make for a potential “catalyst” of change for each site.

The land use percentages listed in the figure above are within both Pearland city limits and the extra- territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) zone. Areas only within the city limits (as mentioned in the Mayor's letter) would indicate 77% developed and 23% undeveloped. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS Î 4.1 CUP and ZC Criteria: Review FLUP showing catalyst sites and the Conditional Use Permit and zone change criteria to determine if projects are incorporating the values of the comprehensive plan. Î 4.2 Develop Checklist: Develop a comprehensive plan checklist to be used as a tool for determining the consistency of development proposals and zoning applications with the comprehensive plan vision and principles and to assist City staff in making recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. Î 4.3 Detention Opportunity Costs: Examine lost development opportunity from required detention and provide credit towards additional units/density within designated areas.
