<br />Staff Report <br /> <br />July 19,2007 <br /> <br />ReQuested by: <br /> <br />ReQuested for: <br /> <br />Location: <br /> <br />Zoning: <br /> <br />Proposed Use: <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Analvsis : <br /> <br />North 8th Street Business Park <br />Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU07-007 <br /> <br />Mr. John Bible <br /> <br />1.1478 acres of land, containing all of Lots 1 thru 16, Block 101, as recorded <br />in Volume 58, Page 563 H.C.C.F., Johnson Hunter Survey, Abstract No. 35, <br />La Porte, Harris County, Texas. <br /> <br />500 Block of North 8th Street <br /> <br />General Commercial (GC) <br /> <br />Office/W arehouse <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing four 4,675 sq.ft (85'x55') warehouse buildings on <br />a 1.1478 acre tract located in the 500 block of North 8th Street, one block <br />south of Barbour's Cut Boulevard. <br /> <br />The property is zoned General Commercial (GC). General Warehousing and <br />storage (SIC #4225) is classified as a 'Conditional Use' in GC zoning <br />districts. The reason some uses are conditional in GC zones is that in certain <br />instances the Commission may feel that a use may be appropriate if further <br />conditions are considered on a case-by-case basis. <br /> <br />Staff reviewed this request using the Code of Ordinances Sections 106-216, <br />106-217 (pertains to SCUP), all applicable elements of the La Porte <br />Comprehensive Plan, Development Ordinance, and Code of Ordinances <br />(Chapter 106) as a guide. Considerations were given to the following issues: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Character of the surrounding and adjacent properties; <br />Existing use of nearby properties, and the extent to which a land use <br />classification would be in harmony with such existing uses or the <br />anticipated use of the properties; <br />Suitability of the property for the uses to which would be permissible, <br />considering density, access and circulation, adequacy of public facilities <br />and services, and other considerations; <br />Extent to which the designated use of the property would harm the value <br />of adjacent land uses; <br />Extent to which the proposed use designation would adversely affect the <br />capacity or safety of that portion of road network influenced by the use; <br />Extent to which the proposed use designation would permit excessive <br />air, water or noise pollution, or other environmental harm on adjacent <br />land use designations; and, <br />The gain, if any, to the public health, safety, and welfare due to the <br />existence of the land use designation. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />:~U;lrr ( <br />
