~~~ • April 4, 1985 CITY OF LA PHONE (713) 471-5020 ~ P. O. Box 1115 Mr. Douglas Latimer Chairman of Planning & Zoning Commission 10203 Catlett Lane La Porte, Texas 77571 Dear Doug: FORTE LA FORTE, TEXAS 77571 Transmittal under separate cover is a copy of the proposed Development Ordinance for the City of La Porte as reviewed and recommended by City Staff and legal counsel. The ordinance as presented here conforms substantially to the preliminary version received by the Commission several weeks ago. The only major changes have been in format in the interest of simplification. The Appendices are not reprinted here as they are undergoing similar format revisions for clarity and simplification. The Commission should be aware, however, of the value of the Appendix as it will greatly enhance the understanding of the ordinance. This ordinance will also be transmitted to the City Manager, Mayor and Council, Randy Walters, and several development professionals in the community for their review and comment. The City~s legal counsel will also review the ordinance for legal consistency and conformity to current law. In addition, pursuant to Commissions direction to legal counsel, careful consideration will be given to inclusion of a section in the ordinance on mandatory park dedication in residential areas. Commission should study the ordinance carefully and be prepared to recommend the ordinance to Council at the April 18th meeting. Staff sincerely invites your questions and comments and further welcomes a call or visit to discuss the ordinance and its provisions. I would personally like to recognize and thank the dedication of City Engineer, Bob Speake, as well as the Commission for their input into the drafting of the ordinance.
