• s Board of Adjustment Minutes of 11-7-89 Page 4 of 5 C. The decision of the Board must be in the best interest of the community and consistent with the spirit and interest of the City's zoning laws and the Comprehensive Plan of the City of La Porte. Mr. Albrecht concluded that staff, as evidenced by the decision to issue a building permit to the Couch's, feels the intent of the Zoning Ordinance nor the Comprehensive Plan have been violated.
