Tx 77571 <br /> <br />RE~ Building Permit Applic;ation <br /> <br />, Dear Mrs. Childs. <br /> <br />Thank you for the building permit application form. Unfortunately, staff'is unable <br />to approve the platem~nt of a shipping ~ontainer for use as a storage building. As we <br />discussed. shipping containers are allowable in commercial and industrial zones but not <br />in residential zones. For your review, I have enclosed a copy of the city's Zoning' <br />Regulations. SeCtion #106-i41(h) that prohibits the placement ofa shipping l:ontainer in <br />. a residential ZODe and your denied.permit application form. ' '. <br /> <br />I recognize the shipping container is already. on site and haS been painted to make <br />, it more attractive. Please revi~ the enclosed regulation and let me know what you <br />would like to do. As we discUssed. you have two avenues available to you. The ' first <br />would be to remove the container from the property. And the second wo~d be to make <br />application for a Zoning Board of Adjustment public hearing in which you would Appeal <br />the Building Official's Decision. Please note that the regulation cannot be ~ed by <br />the Board but they will determine if staff has read it properly. <br /> <br />. . <br />I have asked Ms. Lisa Gonzalez to suspense her file until I hear back trom you so <br />I would appreciate hearing back from yOu by 03-17~. If you have any questions. please <br />, feel free to contact me at #281-471-5020; Ext. 253. . . <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br />Sd~~"'AJJ;;) <br />Debbie S..Wllmore <br />Chief Building Ofticial <br /> <br />Enclosures <br /> <br />xc: Doug K.
