~' • • <br />3.) Recent Zoning actions approved a re-zoning issue for Zion Hill Church on North <br />6~' Street. Let's look into this action. The City of La Porte went to great lengths and <br />expense to produce The North Side Comprehensive Plan. This report details the <br />resources, the problems and the solutions for one of the oldest and historically <br />significant areas of La Porte. It graphically denotes areas for business, industry and <br />residential use. Re-zoning of this area goes directly against the plan and <br />compromises the success of this community. As an active member of this <br />community, I have not seen any support given to the community by any of the <br />churches or their congregations. Certainly we have a few active citizens that happen <br />to belong to a few of the churches in the area but there is no support by the <br />individual church entities. They do not participate in organized functions of the local <br />Civic Club or align themselves with the people living in the community. Some of the <br />church leaders do not even reside in La Porte. They have nothing vested in serving <br />the community. Giving Zion Hill the approval of building a bigger and better church <br />does nothing for the adjacent community. I would hope that the Planning and Zoning <br />Committee will further investigate this issue and decide not to compromise our <br />community for this business venture. After all, we shouldn't locate water lilies in our <br />xeriscape garden. <br />Thank y for our time. <br />D. Paul Larson <br />406 4~' St., North <br />La Porte, TX 77571 <br />281.842.7441 <br />
