Mayor Thomas asked if there was anyone opposed to the rezoning that would like to speak, and there being none, he asked if there was anyone to speak for the rezoning. Mr. Fred Westergren stated the intended use for the property, if rezoned to commercial, was for construction of warehouses to be used for dry storage with office space. Public hearing with Planning & Zoning Comm. to consider rezoning of Block 1, Neb. Syndicate and Blocks 432 & 980(Fred Westergren and Bob Chase) Mr. Bob Chase stated that Block 432 is split zoned (residential and commercial) and the location of the property is not desirable for residential development as it is too close to proposed truck routes to the Port of Houston terminal at Barbour's Cut. He stated he purchased the property as an investment with the intent of reselling it and if the zoning were commercial it would help to sell the property to a user and increase the tax revenue for the City of La Porte. Mayor Thomas asked if there were any further comments, and there being none, declared the hearing closed.
