Fairmont Parkway <br />P.O. Box 115 <br />La Porte, TX 77571 <br /> <br />Commission <br /> <br />Dear Doug: <br /> <br />IJ <br /> <br />Since our meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />August 21, 1986, we understand area 2 of the land use map and <br />specifically the approximate 500 acres owned by PPG has been <br />rezoned. However, the changes to the map as explained to us by <br />David Paulisson, do not appear to be consistent with the changes <br />we understood your commission to have agreed to at the August 21 <br />meeting concerning PPG's property. We consider the land uses now <br />slated for finalization to be adverse, to PPG's interests. We will <br />outline below our proposal for the zoning of PPG's property west <br />of the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks. <br /> <br />.! <br /> <br />IJI <br /> <br />IJ! <br /> <br />I!' <br /> <br />As we mentioned at the August 21 meeting, we are actively pursuing <br />a joint venture with a Japanese firm that would involve construction <br />of an Acrylic resins chemical production facility immediately west <br />of the Southern Pacific tracks. This could involve employment of <br />some 30 employees in the initial phase and an area of approximately <br />104 acres would be ample for this production facility and any <br />subsequent expansion. This parcel is immediately west of the <br />Southern Pacific tracks and extends to the proposed Bay Area <br />Boulevard extension. (See attachment) We see this 104 acre tract <br />most appropriately zoned Heavy Industrial and not part of any <br />Planned Unit Development. The parcel of land would be contiguous <br />with our existing plant and be an extension of an existing Heavy <br />Industrial zone. It will be necessary that the permissible land <br />uses 'under Heavy Industrial be expanded from the present S.I.C. <br />code numbers 282 through 285 to include S.I.C. code number 286 <br />"Industrial Organic Chemicals." <br /> <br />IJ <br /> <br />IJ <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />IJ <br /> <br />.' <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT I <br />
