• • <br />Staff Report June 16, 2005 <br />Home Porte Storage <br />Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU05-006 <br />Requested bv: Mr. Randall Jones <br />Requested for: All lots in Blocks 1136, and 1137, alleys in these blocks, and portion of <br />south 14`" Street R.O.W. between blocks 1136 & 1137, Town of La Porte, <br />Harris County, Texas. <br />Location: 1200 Block of South 13`" Street (One Block South of Fairmont Parkway) <br />Zoning: General Commercial (GC) <br />Proposed Use: Mini-Storage, Boat/RV Storage, and Car Wash <br />Background: The applicant is proposing a climate control mini-storage, boat/ RV storage, <br />and car wash on approximately 5.50 acre tract bounded by West `K' Street <br />(unimproved ROW) on the north, and West L Street (unimproved ROW) on <br />the south, South 13~' Street on the east and South 15`" Street R.O.W. <br />(unimproved) on the west. . <br />The property is zoned General Commercial (GC). Mini-Storage <br />warehousing (SIC #4225) is classified as a Conditional Use in GC zone. <br />Earlier, the Planning and Zoning Commission, during its May 20, 2004, <br />meeting, recommended approval of Special Conditional Use Permit <br />#SCU04-006. City Council, at the June 14, 2004, meeting approved the <br />SCUP to build mini-storage and commercial/business center on <br />approximately 9.16 acre tract of land located in the 1200 Block of South <br />13t" Street between West "K" and "L" Streets. <br />As a condition of the approved SCUP, the applicant filed an application <br />with the City to close public alleys and portion of streets in Block 1135, <br />1136, and 1137. As a part of procedure, consent from the neighboring or <br />adjacent property owners is required. In fact, permission for closing a <br />portion of South 15t" Street ROW was not granted by the adjacent <br />property owner on the west. Eventually, closing of alleys in blocks 1135, <br />1136, and 1137 along with portion of South 14t" Street ROW were <br />processed and approved by City Council. <br />Currently, the property is being formally replatted. In addition, earlier <br />approved SCUP will be expiring soon. The previous SCUP has a <br />combination of commerciallbusiness center with the mini-storage facility. <br />The new plan is a deviation of the previously approved General Plan and <br />SCUP. Therefore, it requires a new Special Conditional Use Permit for the <br />proposed development and final approval by City Council. <br />~~ C <br />
