Page 2 of 5 • • <br />Planning & Zoning Commission <br />Minutes of April 11, 1996 <br />• • The zone change would not have a significant impact on <br />traffic conditions in the area, nor would utilities be <br />significantly affected. <br />Eugene Edmonds asked for the definition of Manufactured Housing. John <br />Armstrong provided a definition. <br />Howard Ebow asked Mr. Rankin to clarify a sentence in the Conclusion <br />section of staff's report. <br />1. PROPONENTS <br />Larry Womack, of Pecan Plantation Mobile Home Park <br />(owned by the Heritage Group), addressed the <br />Commission. Mr. Womack informed the Commission that <br />he believed the original owners of the park planned to <br />utilize the tract in question to expand the park for <br />manufactured housing. The Heritage Group now intends <br />to use the area to sell new and used manufactured housing. <br />2. OPPONENTS <br />• There were none. <br />Staff mailed meeting notices to five adjacent property owners. No replies <br />were returned either in favor or in opposition to the request. <br />B. SPECIAL CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SCU96-002, WHICH HAS <br />BEEN REQUESTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ALLOWING <br />CONSTRUCTION OF AN OFF -SITE PARKING LOT TO BE <br />LOCATED ON LOTS 11-22; BLOCK 687; TOWN OF LA PORTE <br />SURVEY TRACT. THE TRACT IN QUESTION IS SPECIFICALLY <br />LOCATED IN THE 200 BLOCK OF NORTH 15TH STREET. <br />Mr Rankin began by saying there were ten meeting notices mailed to <br />adjacent property owners. Staff received one reply in favor and one reply <br />opposed to the request. One notice was returned undeliverable. <br />Mr. Rankin reported that the applicant was seeking a Special Conditional <br />Use Permit for the purpose of constructing an off -site parking lot. Mr. <br />Rankin noted that the applicant plans to expand his business and there is <br />no available room at the business location for additional parking. <br />• Staff recommended approval of the request with the condition that the <br />applicant be required to receive City Council approval for closing the <br />alley of Block 687. In addition, a landscape plan that exceeds the City's <br />minimum requirements is to be submitted by the applicant. <br />
