Staff reviewed this request using the Code of Ordinances Sections 106-216, 106-217, and all applicable elements of the La Porte Comprehensive Plan as a guide. Considerations were given to the following issues: . Character of the surrounding and adjacent properties; . Existing use of nearby properties, and the extent to which a land use classification would be in harmony with such existing uses or the anticipated use of the properties; . Suitability of the property for the uses to which would be permissible, considering density, access and circulation, adequacy of public facilities and services, and other considerations; . Extent to which the designated use of the property would harm the value of adjacent land uses; . Extent to which the proposed use designation would adversely affect the capacity or safety of that portion of road network influenced by the use; . Extent to which the proposed use designation would permit excessive air, water or noise pollution, or other environmental harm on adjacent land use designations; and, . The gain, if any, to the public health, safety, and welfare due to the existence of the land use designation. Land Use - The City's Comprehensive Plan shows this area developing with commercial uses. The existing land uses are primarily commercial (grocery store, restaurants, drug store, beauty shop, insurance company, and other miscellaneous shops).
