• • '~ - CITY OF LA PORTE INTER OFFICE MEMO T0: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: D aulissen DATE: 10/24/85 SUBJECT: Re-zonining LP Outlot 716-8.8071 Ac, The City has received a request from Mr. Wayne Taylor of Pasadena Rentals, Inc, to re-zone lot 716, La Porte Outlots from its temporary "R-1" zoning status to zone "C" commercial.. HISTORY The property under consideration is located approximately 1500' West of Underwood Rd. on Fairmont Parkway. The proposed use is that of an equipment storage and rental yard. This site is in the annexed area of Spenwick and continues to exist as "R-1" residential until the proposed Zoning Ordinance and map may be adopted. ~N~_~- This request has been compared to the comprehensive plan for analysis purposes. The Planning and Zoning Commission has directed staff to use the comprehensive plan as a data based for re-zoning comparisons. This site is recommended to become "R-1" and "R-2" or low and medium density residential. A significant impact on the comprehensive plan would result with the re-zoning of this property. The site in question does not have either water or sewer service available to it. An extension of both utilities including design and installation would be required. The use of the property as an equipment rental business and yard is an allowable use under the current ordinance with the stipulation that "there shall be no rental of heavy trucks or heavy construction equipment in connection therewith." There are no businesses of this type West of Underwood Rd. fronting Fairmont Parkway. There is, however, an existing container yard and truck terminal Northwest of the property in question. This business was established just prior to annexation. ~COMM~1`JDATIOH This request is for the re-zoning of a tract of land in the "heart" of and area that is proposed to become residential under the proposed land use and zoning maps. The re-zoning of this tract will set the stage for more requests of this type. It is anticipated that the Planning and Zoning Commission will have started the review of the land use and zoning maps by the end of the year.
