After January Denial, New Apartment Plan Heads to Pearland Counc

After January Denial, New Apartment Plan Heads to Pearland CouncilPearland City Council will consider a plan for a new 296-unit apartment complex at its Nov. 9 meeting. The developer, Rockport Ventures, also built Delta Pearland. This is the company's second try. In January, council members turned down a request to rezone the land for a similar project with 315 units. The new plan has 19 fewer apartments.The land is north of Magnolia Parkway and west of Manvel Road. Right now, the city's zoning rules only allow business and professional offices to be built there. To build apartments, the developer needs council to change the zoning. The complex would have three buildings, each three stories tall, and a surface parking lot. It would also have a clubhouse, a pool with outdoor grills, a dog park and a small pocket park. A sidewalk would run along the east side of the property's detention pond.Council members will vote on the first reading of the rezoning ordinance at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 9. The meeting will be held at Pearland City Hall, 3519 Liberty Drive. Residents who want to learn more or share their views can attend.
