• <br />0 <br />• <br />C <br />Staff Report Zone Change Request #R96-003 May 16,19% <br />Requested for: Lots 17-32; Block 64; Town of La Porte, which is further described as <br />being located at 201 N. 3rd Street, La Porte, Texas. <br />Requested by: David and Bryan Moore <br />Requested Zone Change: From Low Density Residential (R-1) to General Commercial (GC) <br />Background: The property in question currently has four (4) warehouses with concrete <br />drives/parking within a fenced area. The present structures are located on <br />Lots 17-23 and the southern five foot (5') of Lot 24, and are considered a <br />pre-existing, non -conforming use in an R-1 zone. The undeveloped portions <br />of this property are the northern twenty feet (20') of Lots 24 and 25-32, and <br />are owned by the same individuals. <br />In acting upon a zone change request, the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />and in turn, City Council, are charged to consider the following factors: <br />• Was the current zoning designation reasonable? <br />• Was any error made in the assignment of the current zoning? <br />• Is the requested designation compatible with the intern and <br />goals of the City's Comprehensive Plan? <br />It is the burden of the applicant to demonstrate whether any of these criteria <br />have been satisfied. <br />Purpose: The applicant seeks to expand a pre-existing, non -conforming use by building five <br />(5) new Mini -warehouses on the northern twenty feet (20) of Lot 24 and Lots 25- <br />32. This action would require a zone change to General Commercial (GC). Mini - <br />warehouses (SIC #4225) are a "conditional" use in a GC zone. <br />
