<br />REQUESTED FOR: Soecial Conditional Use Permit Request #88-011 <br /> <br />Jennie Riley Civic Center <br />322 N. 4th Street <br /> <br />LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Block 81; Lots 1 - 32; La Porte, Tract <br />(See Exhibit A) <br /> <br />ZONING: R-1, Low Density Residential <br />REQUESTED BY: City of La Porte, Owner <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />The Jennie Riley Civic Center is an existing community center <br />(S.l.C. #8322) which is located in a R-1 zoning district. The <br />City is proposing to construct a new building which is to be <br />located immediately behind the existing center. The new building <br />will front on West Tyler Street (See Exhibit B). <br /> <br />Section 5-600, Table A of Ordinance 1501 lists community centers <br />located within R-1 zones as conditional uses. The original civic <br />center predates the requirements of Ordinance 1501. However, the <br />expansion of these facilities will require a Special Conditional <br />Use Permit. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS: <br /> <br />Zoning Ordinance Section S-700, Table B, specifies building <br />setbacks for community centers as 30 ft. front; 20 ft., rear; 10 <br />ft. side. As indicated on Exhibit B, the proposed facility meets <br />or exceeds each of these setback requirements. <br /> <br />This same table also specifies a maximum building height of 45 <br />ft. and a 6% landscape requirement. The proposed height of the <br />new building in 18 ft. A landscape plan (which will require <br />approval by the Director of Community Development) will be filed <br />in conjunction with either the Certified Site Plan or building <br />plans. <br />
