It is hoped that drainage ditch in this area will be improved to help with some of the Lorna x d ra inage. There was some oppos i ti on on thi s a rea by Council. The area around the Airport was then discussed. Mr. Paulissen stated that the only place that the noise level becomes a problem would be the area where 85% of landing and take offs are on the southeast corner of the airport. Mr. Latimer said that the biggest problem they have been having is the question on what zone to put in that area. The general agreement was that R-3 would be the best bet for that-area. . The next area discussed was the area down Sens Road. Mr. Paulissen said that one of the things that staff had tried to do was to leave 26th St. as the line of demarcation for Industrial. In summing up the area of Lomax, Mr. Paulissen mentioned the several different areas zoned. There is Neighborhood Commercial on 26th St. All the way to "H" St. is a band of General Commercial that is two outlots deep, which is the line that Planning and Zoning had thought was as far as Commercial. was to encroach in the Lomax area. The area around the Airport has some high densi ty Residential and some General Commercial that is in the flight path just south of Spencer Highway. The Mayor brought up a question about Modular Homes. Mr. Paul i ssen expl ai ned the government requi rements on put ti ng these homes in La Porte. The next area discussed was the Spenwick and Fairmont Park areas. Mr. Paulissen stated that there was limited depth on the General Commercial in this area. The area ~round San Jacinto College had been discussed as zoning it R-3. General Commercial has been located at intersections at both Luella and Spencer Highway. There is the problem in the Spenwick area with the depth of the residential area, so the General Commercial is extremly practical in this area. './: There had been some changes made on the map that Mr. Paulissen went over. The area between Spencer Highway and Fairmont Parkway and Driftwood and the proposed Underwood extension was discussed. It was pointed out that there is some Business Industrial that is on one 12 acre tract, which is the only tract in that area that is not developed. The Business Industrial was decided on so that it could be developed. The PPG Plant area was discussed next. Mr. Latimer stated that the present Zoning Ordinance precludes any plant, such as PPG, being buil t in La Porte because it is an organic chemical plant and our Zoning Ordinance doesn't allow such plants. This area is not zoned, but it will be put on a land use plan. EXH\B\T G """,,_-'-~=--.'-'-"""""~~"--'~.~~---~"--_._---~."-'----'-"
