Project Summary:
A public hearing is being held to rezone approximately 1.971 acres from “PS” (Public/Semi-Public) to “CN” (Neighborhood Commercial). The applicant is requesting the rezone to develop the site as a commercial, multi-tenant center intended for a mix of professional and business tenants with direct access onto League City Parkway. The project is designed to complement surrounding commercial uses and support continued economic growth along the East League City Parkway corridor. The plan includes a dental laboratory to serve an existing dental practice adjacent to the site, with the remaining tenant spaces available for office or retail uses.
The subject property is currently fenced and vacant, containing only the remaining concrete slabs from the former UTMB laundry facility. No active use is present on the site.
The intent of the “CN” zoning district is to provide areas for smaller scale, pedestrian oriented, neighborhood serving commercial and mixed use development, including retail, services, office, eating and drinking establishments, and smaller scaled public uses. The proposed zoning is consistent with the 2035 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, which designates the area as “Enhanced Auto Dominated Commercial.” This classification emphasizes convenience and access for customers and employees primarily by automobile. The requested zoning aligns with the existing land use pattern and overall character of the surrounding area and is consistent with other properties zoned “CN” along this segment of League City Parkway.
On January 8, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing. No members of the public spoke during the public hearing. The Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommended approval of the request, 5-0-0.
