<br />• <br />Requested For: Lots 24-29; Block 59; Town of La Porte, which is further <br />described as being located in the 100 block of North 1st Street. <br />Requested By: Stephanie and Lawrence Maynard, property owners. <br />Zoning: General Commercial (GC) <br />Purpose of Request: Applicants are seeking a Special Conditional Use (SCU) Permit <br />for the purpose of allowing construction of an offsite parking <br />lot.

The <br />applicants' business activity, plumbing contractor (SIC 1711), is <br />a permitted GC use. <br />If a permit for simultaneous construction of the parking lot and <br />building were to be submitted, it could be reviewed and <br />processed for approval at the staff level. <br />The applicants are not yet prepared to construct their new <br />building.

They are, therefore, <br />• proposing to build the parking lot first. As noted in the caption <br />section of this report, based on the GC zoning of the property, <br />
