Hudgens <br />FROM: Pat Muston <br />SUBJECT: Zoning Considerations <br />The Planning & Zoning Commission of the City of La Porte <br />is considering a recommendation for expansion of our zoning <br />classifications as follows: <br />1. (R-1) Single family residential <br />2. (R-2) Single family residential (less square footage <br />xequired) <br />3. Townhouses <br />4. Multi-family-low density (duplex-fourplex) <br />5. Multi-family-high density (apartment complex) <br />6. Neighborhood Services (light commercial such as con- <br />venience food stores, beauty shops, laundromats, <br />restaurants, art galleries) <br />7. Commercial <br />8. Light Industrial (special permit) - <br />9. Heavy Industrial (special permit) <br />We need guidelines on multi-family density limits. <br />We also need definitions and guidelines on industrial use. <br />Would the difference between light and heavy be determined by <br />the product, emissions, noise level, or transportation needs? <br />We are also discussing a possible recommendation for smaller <br />lot requirements and the use of shallow open ditches where pos- <br />sible, rather than curbs and gutters. We feel these changes <br />would cut the cost of home construction a great deal. <br />:Pat Muston, Chairman <br />'Planning & Zoning Commission <br />PM/cb <br />
