WALSH CONSULTING ENGINEER IlilH t 1 ft V COM PR HE NS if D m 9 •x/ <Nn' < X PEARLAND COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOREWARD - MARCH 1970 A Comprehensive Development Plan for the City of Pearland, Texas is presented in the report which follows. Work on this plan was started June of 1968. As work progressed, the plans and recommendations were reviewed at the monthly meetings of the Planning Commission and at Joint Meetings between the City Council and the Planning Commission. By August 1969, the Plan had been substantially completed. Houston-Alvin Freeway Dilemma: The location of the Houston- Alvin Freeway Corridor as it affects Pearland: . Is subject to review and concurrence from several governmental enities including the State Highway Commission and Brazoria County. Was under debate in August 1969, The City Council of Pearland requested that all government enities involved be contacted and an effort be made to reach an agreement on the corridor location. Such considerations were initiated between August 1969- and February 1970. Minute Order, No. 63415 of the Highway Commission, dated February 23, 1970, has placed the alignment West of Pearland and apparently resolved the corridor location . The proposals of the Pearland Plan were formulated on the previously approved East alignment. The action of the Highway Commission on February 23, 1970 created new planning considerations thrat should be evaluated as a prelude to the formulation of revisions to the August 1969 Pearland Comprehensive Plan Proposals. Apportionment of Extraterritoral Jurisdiction; A second event affecting the Pearland Comprehensive Plan occured on February 11, 1970, the date when the cities of Pearland and Houston entered into a contract appropriating and fixing the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the overlapping zones beyond their corporate boundaries. Under this agreement, Pearland has been given certain acreage bordering on the East side of Clear Creek, in Harris County, not previously considered as a part of the Pearland Planning Area. PEARLAND COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN The City of Pearland desires Its Comprehensive Plan be extended to include"the land In Harris County "for which Pearland now has jurisdiction. Action Proposed; Upon review, it was determined the work authorized in June, 1968 had been substantially accomplished by August, 1969. This effort included the printing of the plan materia! and presenting.it in this report. Situation 1969: The initial Comprehensive Planning effort has provided a recommendation reflecting the Pearland Development situation through 1969. Situation 1970: Two major governmental actions have occured during February, 1970 that make it desirable to evaluate the impact of the Houston-Aivin Freeway location on the major street land use and other plan components of the Pearland Plan and to revise the previous plans to incorporate the changes. It is recommended that the needed revisions will be accomplished under a supplemen­ tal work program to be initiated during 1970. Users Guide: Pearland is entering a decade of dynamic growth unparalled by anything that has been previously experienced. An evaluation of the Free­ way Corridor on the West side of Pearland is certain to result in some changes to the plans and recommendations set forth in this report. We cannot be certain that other situations will not develop that will lead to further changes. The Comprehensive Development Plan set forth herein and in any reports which may follow is a guide to the planning and decision making process that will be employed to help coordinate Pearland's future development. The events occuring between August, 1968 and March, 1970 highlight bow abrupt­ ly circumstances affecting their City may change. Goals and Objectives; The goals, objectives and planning principles that are outlined In the following Treport are fundamental to the planr rung process and will be recommended as revised plans are formulated. Plans; As noted, some revision to the plans presented in this report may be anticipated. THE PLANNING TEAM CITY COUNCIL Mayor .................................. D. R. Keller Counci I men ......... E.

    CHINATOWN AFTER SEPTEMBER 11TH: An Economic Impact Study An Interim Report Asian American Federation of New York April 4, 2002 In Collaboration With: Federal Reserve Bank of New York Fiscal Policy Institute Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, University of California, Los Angeles The views expressed in this report are those of the Asian American Federation and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the Federal Reserve System, the Fiscal Policy Institute, or the Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, UCLA. CHINATOWN After September 11th FOREWORD Nearly seven months after September 11th, New Yorkers of all backgrounds continue to feel the pains of the unfortunate loss of life while we work hard to heal our wounds and rebuild our city. The impact of September 11th has certainly been pervasive beyond words, as has been the outpouring of heroism and philanthropy demonstrated by so many ordinary people, uniformed as well as civilian, during these trying times. All of us at the Asian American Federation pay our respects to those who have lost or given their lives, offer our best wishes to those families who have endured the tragedy, and salute the fine spirit of New York. The lingering aftermath of September 11th is deeply felt in neighborhoods close to Ground Zero, including Chinatown. During the first three months after September 11th, stories abounded about the desperation of many low-wage workers who became unemployed and the resolution of many small business owners who worried about their firms’ prospects.

The train operator placed the train’s brakes in emergency brake mode but was unable to stop before it striking the individual. The passengers onboard the train were discharged to the station platform. The individual was removed from under the first car by FDNY-EMS and taken to New York Downtown Hospital with severe head wounds. There were no reports of any equipment damage or passenger injuries. The train’s operator was taken to the NYCT Medical Assessment Center for post incident drug and alcohol testing which was administered within the required FTA time limits of two hours. The test results were negative. The conductor was ruled non contributory to the accident and not tested. PTSB staff finds that the most probable cause of this accident was the unsafe actions of the individual who was kneeling on the roadbed in front of the arriving train. Based on the information contained in this report, the Public Transportation Safety Board staff makes no recommendations at this time.

  • Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 2: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION As described in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” the proposed actions would result in an approximately 1.7 million gross-square-foot1 (gsf) (1.648 million zoning-square-foot) mixed-use development on 10 City-owned sites (of which nine are proposed development sites), the mapping of sections of Broome and Suffolk Streets, and the demapping of sections of Clinton and Delancey Streets, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan (see Figure 2-1). As set forth in Chapter 1, the reasonable worst-case development scenario (RWCDS) for the proposed actions envisions the development of 900 dwelling units (of which half would be affordable), approximately 632,300 gsf of commercial space, approximately 114,000 gsf of community facility or cultural uses, up to 500 parking spaces, and an approximately 10,000-square-foot publicly accessible open space. This chapter considers the proposed actions’ potential impacts on land use, zoning, and public land use policies. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS Overall, this analysis concludes that the proposed actions would not have any significant adverse impacts on land use, zoning, or public policy. LAND USE The proposed actions would have a positive effect on land use by creating an active new mixed- use development with publicly accessible open space on underutilized sites. The new housing, retail, publicly accessible open space, and community facility uses would bring activity to the proposed development sites and would serve both residents of the surrounding area and the larger community. The new uses introduced by the proposed actions would be compatible with the existing and anticipated future mix of residential, retail, and commercial uses in the surrounding area.
