This amendment wou~d also cause them to be "Permitted" in Neighborhood Commercial Zones. This amendment was originally put" forward in conjunction with the proposed Main Street rezoning. Arrangement for Shipping and Transport (SIC 473) is currently listed as a "Permitted" General Commercial activity. The activities included in this listing are intended (by the City) to be limited to office uses only. In practice however, the brokers and shipping agents who've set up offices in La Porte have often had heavy trucks parking at their facilities. It has been difficult to prosecute this as an ordinance violation because of ambiguity in the present Zoning Ordinance listing. The proposed amendment would change SIC 473 to a "Permitted with Conditions" listing. The Performance Standard which would also be adopted clearly prohibits heavy trucks from parking at office locations. Dog Grooming is proposed as a new listing that would be classified as "Permitted with Conditions." The Performance Standard proposed in conjunction with the listing sets standards to prevent a grooming shop from also functioning as a boarding kennel. ~~rrB
