_ •' ~ Minutes, Regular ~ting • La Porte Planning & Zoning Commission October 4, 1984, Page 4 • 6. The Commission considered the request of Winston R. DeBlanc to rezone a 5.019 acre tract of land on the east side of Highway 146 at the Highway 225 intersection from commercial to industrial. Chairman Latimer asked if Nir. DeBlanc was present to speak in regard to his request. Mr. Ed Heron spoke for Mr. DeBlanc, who could not attend the Planning & Zoning meeting. Mr. Heron asked how long the rezoning procedure would take. He mentioned that if the procedure took a long period of time, that he would not pursue the request any further. Assistant City Attorney John Armstrong stated that the process would take approximately four (4) months including public hearings and a meeting with the Board of Adjustments for the special use permit. He mentioned that this particular request would require the "special use permit" . Chairman Latimer asked the staff for their recommendation on the matter. David Paulissen stated that this request is to expand the existing use north onto the described tract of land. He stated that if any buildings are to be located on this property water service must be extended as per the newly revised and adopted Fire Code. He stated that the subject tract of land • compares favorably to other industrial uses in the immediate area. Rezoning this tract of land should not adversely affect the surrounding land owners and could possibly result in a much needed extension of water service to this area. Mr. Paulissen° stated that this request would require a "special use permit". Mr. Paulissen said that the staff recommendation on this subject is to approve the rezoning request. (A copy of the memorandum on staff recommendation is attached to these minutes as part of permanent record.) After hearing the staff recommendation, Chairman Latimer asked the Commission for a motion to set the request for public hearing on October 30, 1984.
