This request is made by P&O Cold Logistics located at 502 North Broadway, one block south of Barbour's Cut Boulevard. The subject tract consists of 11.48 acres of land, being a part of24.88 acres of land, described as lots 1 thru 16 in blocks 415, 420, lots 1 thru 32 of blocks 416, 417, 418, 419, 433, 434, and 435 Town of La Porte, recorded in Volume I, Page 27 of the Deed Records of the Harris County, Johnson Hunter Survey, Abstract 35, La Porte, Harris County, Texas. The facility was previously known as International Cargo Network, a major cargo distribution center in Harris County, Texas. P&O Cold Logistics is a major food service distribution company with an existing 225,340 sq.ft. of cold storage/warehouse with proposed additional 87,603 sq. ft. of building at this facility. The facility is within the vicinity of major commercial/industrial establishments of the Gulf Coast Region. The property is currently zoned Medium Density Residential, Business Industrial, and Planned Unit Development. The purpose of this zone change is to unify an entire tract under a single zoning classification (PUD). In addition, a security fence around an entire facility would be permitted under one zoning district. The proposed fence will be a six foot high type III industrial chain link fence around the entire facility to protect the property, in compliance with the guidelines of the US Customs and USDA. The requested change is compatible with the zoning and uses of nearby properties. A rezoning to PUD will be more conforming to the current ordinances. The development within the subject tract should not negatively impact the surrounding properties or harm the value of the nearby properties. As required by Ordinance, fifteen notices of public hearing were mailed to property owners within 200' of the site. No responses were received. Granting this requested change should not be contrary to the goals and objectives of the La Porte Comprehensive Plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by a unanimous vote (6-0), recommends City Council approval of Rezone Request #R05-005. Action Reauired bv Council: 1. Conduct public hearing. 2. Consider taking action on an Ordinance for 11.48 acres of land being part of24.88 acres of land located at 502 North Broadway to be rezoned from R-2 and Bl to PUD.
