<br />. . <br />, <br /> <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMO <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Planning & Zoning Board of Adjustments <br />D~aUlissen <br />10/03/85 <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Special use permit-OTS-blk.350 <br /> <br />The City has received a request for a special use permit to allow a <br />truck terminal from Oceanic Transport Service, Inc. (OTS). <br /> <br />History <br /> <br />The property in question is located at the corner of Barbours Cut <br />Blvd. and N. Broadway. It will be an addition to the existing truck <br />terminal at this location. The proposed use of the property will be <br />that of a commercial truck scales. This use is classified as a truck <br />terminal under the terms of the existing Zoning Ordinance. <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />As mentioned above, there exist a commercial truck servicing operation <br />on the adjacent block. Both the servicing operation and the proposed <br />truck scales are owned and operated by OTS. The property is currently <br />zoned "I" Industrial so only a special use permit for the truck <br />terminal is required to be in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. <br />This request has been compared with the proposed new Zoning Ordinance <br />and map. This area is proposed to become "BI" Business Industrial. <br />The use of the property as a truck terminal is a allowable use under <br />the terms of the proposed ordinance. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />The request is in keeping with both the existing Zoning Ordinance and <br />the proposed Zoning Ordinance. The request is in keeping with the <br />general character of the surrounding area and is the extension of an <br />existing truck terminal. Based on the above review, staff would <br />recommend that the special use permit for a truck terminal be granted. <br />
