City <br />Attorney. <br />Others Present: Janet Gray Warlick, Adair Sullivan <br />Chairman Latimer called on Mark Lewis to begin the review of the City <br />of La Porte Zoning Ordinance ~~1501. <br />Mark began with Item No. 1 - Definition - Section ~-100 <br />1) Building line - There is no definition for setback line. <br />Staff is suggesting - "closest point to any property line or utility <br />~~ easement which may be occupied by a structure." <br />This simply gives a definition for setback line. <br />Commission agreed to definition. <br />Item No. 2 - Ya d Front - This definition was a simple typo. It <br />stated rear lot line and the rear of the <br />principal building; the proper wording <br />should be " distance between the front lot <br />line and the fr n of the principal <br />building. <br />Commission agreed with changing of typo from rear to front. <br />Item No. 3 - Larae Lot Residential <br />This type of lot is referenced as "Single family large lot" in <br />Section 5-700, Table B and as "lots in excess of 43,560 sq. <br />ft. in Section 10-302(10). Staff feels there should be a <br />standard term used through out the ordinance and a definition <br />in Section 3-100. The suggestion for the definition is: <br />"Single family residential large lot" - any single tract or <br />lot comprised of one or more acres (referencing sq. ft.); that <br />property located in an "R-1" zone whose primary intended use <br />is for construction of a single family dwelling. <br />
