• <br /> <br />T0: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS <br />CITY. OF LA PORTE. <br />FROM: PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION <br />PAT MUSTON, CHAIRMAN <br />• <br />DATE: SEPTEMBER 19, 1978 <br />SUBJECT: LOTS 1, 2, AND 3, BLOCK 30, BEACH PARK <br />The above referenced property, owned by Dan Tarpey, has been <br />brought to our attention for zoning consideration. Although the <br />property is zoned R-l, it has been used commercially for a number <br />of years, and was thought by the owner to be zoned commercial. <br />The property is located at the northern tip of a half-circle <br />and~is situated with good access to Sylvan Beach Park and La Porte <br />High School. The remainder of Block 30 is a quiet neighborhood of <br />single family residences. <br />On June 26, 1978, when this property was first brought to the <br />• attention of the Planning & Zoning Commission, we recommended that <br />it be rezoned commercial, and the remainder of the block retain the <br />R-1 classification. However, due to the proximity of the school <br />and park, it is our opinion that the commercial classification should <br />be limited to uses which would cause no decrease in value to the <br />surrounding homes or be of no detrimental influence upon school <br />children or families using the park. <br />If a special use permit is issued, it is our understanding <br />that it would automatically terminate upon sale of the property, <br />thus making it impossible for the present owners to sell for <br />commercial use. <br />We feel that the present R-1 classification was an omission <br />at the time the zoning ordinance was adopted. <br />It is our recommendation that Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 30, <br />Beach Park be rezoned to commercial with limited use. <br />• Respectfully, <br />Pat Muston, Chairman <br />Planning & Zoning Commission <br /> <br />
