Fairmont Parkway <br />La Porte, TX 77571 <br />RE: Land Use Within the TIRZ <br />Dear Ms. Waters, <br />• <br />City of La Porte <br />Established 1892 <br />August 29, 2002 <br />RECEIVED <br />AUG 2 9 2002 <br />.. PLANNING DEPT. <br />First, I would like to thank the Planning and Zoning Commission for letting me re resent the La Porte Redevelopment <br />Authority and Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number One at your August 15' meeting. <br />On June 20, 2002, I appeared before the Planning and Zoning Commission Board on behalf of Chairman Alton Porter and . <br />requested that while reviewing the City's Zoning and Land Use Maps, the Planning and Zoning Commission consider <br />resolving potential conflicts that may exist between the goals and objectives of th <br />Maps.. e TIRZ and the City's Land Use/Zoning <br />The Zone's Project Plan and its Revenue Projections were based largely on assumptions that property on the east side to State <br />Highway 146 would be developed primarily for residential purposes and the property west of State Highway 146 would be <br />developed primarily for light industrial and mixed commercial uses. <br />The Board met on August 14,.2002 and discussed recommendations for proposed changes, which I am forwarding to the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission on behalf of the La Porte Redevelopment Authority and TIRZ Board. The Board believes <br />making these recommendations regarding potential land uses would support the Zone Project Plan. <br />The recommendations are presented in the following maps: <br />Map l <br />o Recommended land uses west of State Highway 146 based on recent Planning and Zoning and City Council <br />approval and current Land Use:Map. <br />■ Map 2 <br />o Recommended land uses east of State Highway 146. <br />• Map 3 <br />o Recommended Zoning Map change. <br />We understand that the Planning and Zoning Commission will need"to consider these recommendations along with their own <br />work in this area and other public input. <br />If you have any questions or require any further information, please do not hesitate.to contact me. <br />Attachments. <br />JJ/ml <br />SinceFf , <br />John Joem '' ' <br />Acting y Manager <br />c' TIRZ Board <br />6 1 vv <br />Fai-miont Pkwy. • La forte, Texas 77571 • (281" 471-5020 I R <br />BM■ L <br />
