The southern and eastern faces of this area both abut residentially zoned property (See Exhibit B). Given the overall project layout, it appears to be within the intent of the ordinance to consider both faces as part of the "rear" of the complex and therefore subj ect to a thirty (30) foot landscape setback (see Exhibit G). The landscape planting plan which is to be approved by the Director of Community Development, will be 'a component of the Major Development site Plan which is to be submitted for Commission approval, contingent upon the granting of the requested Special Conditional Use Permit. Item five (5) deals with the preliminary drainage and utility components of the General Plan. The Director of community Development has reviewed these items and found the preliminary plans to be satisfactory. His findings are attached as an adenda to this report (See Exhibit I). Item six (6), which deals with site development, requires "logical development" which will "protect the public interest and conserve the land." While the applicant's General plan, as required by the zoning Ordinance , indicates the "phase two" portion of the proposed development. The main emphasis of this request is on the initial development phase (See Exhibit C). The applicant's development and construction schedule deals with this initial phase (See Exhibit E). The schedule, while "tight", appears to be realistic. It indicates that topographic surveys and soil investigations have been completed and that the civil design phase of the project is in progress. All information provided to staff thus far, indicates a carefully planned development schedule that adequately addresses ordinance concerns. Item seven (7) requires compliance with the requirements of the city's Development Ordinance. Based on the General Plan submitted by the applicants, this development as proposed complies with the requirements of La Porte Development Ordinance #1444. Item eight (8) deals with dwelling unit requirements and is not applicable to this request. Item nine (9) requires compliance with the special Conditional Use procedures of zoning Ordinance Section 10-200. This section establishes Special Conditional Use Permit application and review procedures as well as setting conditions which must be satisfied before a Conditional Use Permit may be approved.
