The property is located in the 300 Block of North 16th Street. Light Industrial (Ll) Applicant is seeking a Special Conditional Use Pennit (SCUP) for the purpose of developing an off-site parking lot for DNV Petroleum Services, Inc. located at 318 N. 16th Street. The Zoning Ordinance classifies this type of development as Conditional Use. DNV Petroleum La Porte Lab is located at 318 N. 16th Street. Earlier, a Special Conditional Use Pennit #SCUOO-002 was approved for the facility to operate as fuel quality testing lab. The applicant remodeled and repaired a pre-existing one story metal building, which was damaged by an explosion. The previously approved she plan shows eight covered parking spaces in a 60'x80'(4,800sq.ft.) of building area. The company is working towards expanding the operation to include this area and needs to relocate existing parking to meet the City's parking requirements. There is not enough space available on the front or rear to provide on-site parking. Therefore, the applicant looked elsewhere and found a tract across West Tyler Street (unimproved 60' ROW) to the north of the existing building within 300 feet of the principal building. Off-site parking is described as a Conditional Use per Section 106-441 of Zoning Ordinance. Zoning Ordinance Section, 1 06-217 establishes the following review criteria and conditions for approval of Special Conditional Use Pennits: . That the specific use will be compatible with and not injurious to the use and enjoyment of the other property, nor significantly diminish or impair property values within the immediate vicinity. . That the conditions placed on such use, as specified in each district, have been met by the applicant. . That the applicant has agreed to meet any additional conditions imposed, based on specific site constraints necessary to protect the public interest and welfare of the community.
