The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of an abandonment request for a right‑of‑way adjacent to 10302 Seawall Boulevard at its March 3 meeting.
Staff described the request as tied to an approved PUD (Sachs development) and said the parcel would permit a hotel and condominium component; staff reported no objections from utilities and no critical use of the right‑of‑way given existing grade changes. Staff recommended approval with a set of conditions and noted applicants should confirm CenterPoint Energy requirements for street/alley closures. The applicant owner, Mohammed Eldoui, and architect Steven Beagle characterized the request as procedural: the right‑of‑way is a dead end and would be merged into the larger development.
Commissioner (speaker 12) moved to approve 26PDash011 as recommended by staff; the motion passed. Staff noted the City Council will consider final approval at its March 22, 2026 meeting.
The vote as recorded by the Commission was in favor; staff will forward documents to Council for final action.
