Albrecht, Director of Community Development; Ervin J. Griffith, Building Official/Zoning Administrator; Nina Dye, Inspection Secretary; John Armstrong, Assistant City Attorney Others Present,: Dick McDuff, Representative for Eagles, Charlie Young and two (2) other interested citizens • Public Hearing was called to order at 7:05 P.M. City Council has asked the Planning & Zoning Commission to do some more research regarding this request by the Order of the Eagles and try to find some way to grant this Special Conditional Use Permit. John Armstrong looked closely into the State law and found out we do not have an actual C listing use in certain instances for Special Conditional Use Permit procedures. Therefore, the Commission has the authority for the Special Conditional Use Permit to be granted and sent on to City Council. The zoning classification would remain as R-1 with the Special Conditional Use Permit for the parking lot onl According to the language of the ordinance, there two (2) instances when a Special Conditional Use Permit will be necessary. The first being when the application has a use that is listed in the SIC Manual but does not appear in our ordinance and the second one being the Special Conditional Use Permit (Section 10-201) may be granted by Planning & Zoning and City Council. Second item on the agenda was to consider a Special Conditional Use Permit Request by the Bayshore Aerie ~~2753 of the Fraternal Order of the Eagles to build a parking lot on Lots 25-32 of Block 149; La Porte Tract. Dick McDuff, Representative for the Eagles spoke in favor of this request. He explained that the current parking lot has 80 to 85 spaces available. The building itself holds at least 500 people. The new parking lot will give them approximately 50 more spaces. McKey Construction will be the contractor for the parking lot.
