Legacy is proposing 3 story buildings adjacent to the proposed single family development to the north. The Legacy <br />development site was selected because of its PUD zoning which allows a multifamily use. <br /> <br />We believe that the Legacy is worthy of a variance for density and spacing because La Porte needs this type of housing <br />to be competitive with surrounding communities. There is currently no Class A apartment community in the City of La <br />Porte. The City of La Porte is most likely losing residents who choose to live in surrounding communities despite working <br />in or near the City of La Porte because of the lack of new multifamily developments. The proposed density and number <br />of units of this development allows for nicer amenities than the 14 units per acre and 180 units limitations would allow. <br />Additionally, strict compliance with the zoning ordinance is economically infeasible these days because of the cost of <br />construction associated with Class A multifamily developments. <br /> <br />Expected to exceed $35 million dollars in development costs at approximately $120,000 per unit, The Legacy at La Porte <br /> quality residential <br />apartment communities. With successful existing developments in Pasadena, Pearland, Laredo, Bryan/College Station, <br />and multiple other areas throughout Texas and the neighboring Gulf Coast States, the Brownstone Companies will deliver <br />a quality product to the City of La Porte. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
