WALLACE <br />BLOCK 643, LOTS 1-32, LA PORTE <br /> <br />The City of La Porte has received a request to grant a "special <br />use permit" to allow a truck terminal from Mr. James Wallace. <br />The request is on block 643, lots 1-32, La Porte. <br /> <br />HISTORY <br /> <br />The City has recently rezoned this property to an "I" Industrial <br />zone. This is the zoning that is required in order to construct <br />a truck terminal. Presently B.F.I. is using the block directly <br />North of this site for the purpose requested here. The use <br />proposed is the storage of dumpsters and trucks as well as <br />employee parking. Within a one-half mile area there are two <br />other similar uses. These are the Chemlime Corporation, and the <br />BFI Inc. Construction. Both of these businesses include the <br />storage of trucks as part of their operation. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br /> <br />This site is located one block West of 16th and one block South <br />of the present B.F.I. yard. The site will be used for the <br />parking of trucks, dumpsters, and employee parking. It is <br />accessed from a paved street that is currently used for heavy <br />truck traffic. Utilities are not a problem as no structures will <br />be placed at this time. <br /> <br />RE.CQMMENDATION <br /> <br />This request is in keeping with other uses in the area. It "will <br />not adversely affect the implementation of the Comprehensive <br />Plan; and will not adversely affect traffic, public health, <br />public safety, and the general welfare." Staff recommends that <br />this special use permit be granted as it meets the qualifications <br />set forth in the City'S Zoning Ordinance. <br />
