Off-site parking is classified as a conditional use in the Code of <br />Ordinance. <br /> <br />Pfeiffer and Son, Ltd. has been in business in La Porte since 1962.

Over the past years, the <br />number of employees increased with the tremendous growth of business. <br />There are numerous times when private vehicles are parked in front of the <br />existing facility along the shoulders ofN. 16th Street and West Polk Street <br />within the public right-of-way. <br /> <br />Off-site parking will serve as auxiliary parking and will help to alleviate <br />parking problems associated with this development. <br /> <br />The Code of Ordinance Section 106-217 establishes the following review <br />criteria and conditions for approval of Special Conditional Use Permits: <br /> <br />. That the specific use will be compatible with and not injurious to the use <br />and enjoyment of the other property, nor significantly diminish or impair <br />property values within the immediate vicinity. <br /> <br />. That the conditions placed on such use, as specified in each district, have <br />been met by the applicant. <br /> <br />. That the applicant has agreed to meet any additional conditions imposed, <br />based on specific site constraints necessary to protect the public interest <br />and welfare of the community. <br /> <br />The tract intended for a parking area is across the street from the primary <br />facility and adjacent to existing parking lot. In addition, the plan shows the <br />northern portion of this parking lot to be served as a lay down yard. <br /> <br />txHIBIT ~ <br />
