• • <br />• Minutes, Joint Public Hearing and Regular Meeting, <br />July 15, 1981,. Page 11 <br />Simons: From what I hear, I think you are not .against the <br />zoning, you are against the R-2. <br />Hutchins: Yes, we would like to see an R-3. <br />Simons: R-3 would be smaller. <br />Hutchins: R-3 with 1250 square foot minimum. <br />Faris: May I repeat - all of us know a little bit more about <br />Lomax after tonight, and again, we have to do something to- <br />night to fit the zoning of Lomax into the present La Porte <br />zoning ordinance. This is not permanent. <br />Hutchins: This is a Public Hearing, right? <br />Meza: Yes. <br />Hutchins:. Is the City Council going to pass anything tonight <br />on the zoning? <br />Meza: Yes. <br />Hutchins: Can it be tabled until such time as a 12.50 class <br />is created? <br />Meza: No, ma'am. <br />Faris: Right now, all of Lomax is R-1; this was required by <br />law. What we are going to do tonight is place back in com- <br />mercial all that property that was commercial before, rather <br />than take each piece of property one by one as everybody <br />parades through for Council to look at each one for everybody <br />to get back to status quo. At the same time, we are taking <br />the industrial area and down-grading it to commercial. <br />Meza: We are up-grading the industrial area. <br />Hutchins: I'm sorry we are up-grading residentially the <br />industrial area. Tonight the residential area will either <br />end up R-1 or R-2. That is the issue. <br />Skelton: The main purpose for smaller houses is for energy <br />conservation, a you are going to see a lot more of it in the <br />future. I hate to see the large houses go; they are real nice, <br />but land has become so valuable and there is only so much. <br />• <br />
