e Page 3 A majority of the properties described above are developed with single family homes. There are however, several business establishments in this area as well. Existing businesses in this area would be rendered nonconforming by this zone change. New businesses as well would be prohibited from locating on any of these properties. On balance however, approving this zone change would eliminate more nonconforming uses than it would create. For a detailed discussion of this topic, please refer to the staff report from the September 5, 1991 Planning and Zoning agenda packet. A zone change from General Commercial to Neighborhood Commercial is being proposed for the following properties: Lots 1-32, Block 37; Town of La Porte G-(, Lots 1-31, Block 38; Town of La Porte Lots 1-31, Block 39; Town of La Porte 10 Lots 1-6 and 29-33, Block 40; Town of La Porte Ie Lots 11-23, Block 57; Town of La Porte ~ Lots 1-34, Block 58; Town of La Porte Lots 1-34, Block 59; Town of La Porte Lots 1-33, Block 60; Town of La Porte Lots 1-26, Block 181; Town of La Porte Lots 1-26, Block 198; Town of La Porte Lots 1-9, Block 199; Town of La Porte As discussed by the Commission during its September 5, 1991 meeting, a rezoning of the properties listed above, in conjunction with a new Comprehensive Plan appendix and some minor amendments to the N. C. use tables, is a means to provide a degree of zoning protection to the "old" portion of Main Street. The "protection" would be provided by the more restrictive nature of N. C. Zoning, especially the prohibitions against outside sales and storage.
