Staff Report Requested by: Requested for: Location: ZoniDl~: Proposed Use: Back2round: Analvsis: July 19,2007 Clear Creek Equipment Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU07-006 Ms. Sally Williams Lots 1-8, TRS 25-32, Block 122, and 16' wide portion of alley between these lots, Johnson Hunter Survey, Abstract No. 35, La Porte, Harris County, Texas. 602 State Highway 146 South General Commercial (GC) Heavy Construction Equipment Rental & Leasing The applicant is proposing a 6,000 sq.ft (60'x100') of office warehouse on a 0.76 acre tract located south of West 'E' Street along State Highway 146 South. The property is zoned General Commercial (GC). Heavy Construction Equipment rental and leasing (SIC #7353) is classified as a 'Conditional Use' in GC zoning districts. The reason some uses are conditional in GC zones is that in certain instances the Commission may feel that a use may be appropriate if further conditions are considered on a case-by-case basis. Staff reviewed this request using the Code of Ordinances Sections 106-216, 106-217 (pertains to SCUP), all applicable elements of the La Porte Comprehensive Plan, Development Ordinance, and Code of Ordinances (Chapter 106) 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.
