Honorable Mayor Alton Porter and City Council
City of La Porte
Dear Mayor Porter:
During a regular meeting on September 15, 2005, the La Porte Planning and Zoning
Commission held a public hearing to receive citizen input regarding, the creation of a
large lot district and consider additional regulations for this district, adapt the boundaries
ofa large lot district, and rezone from Low-Density Residential (R-l) & Medium Density
Residential (R-2) to Large Lot District (LL).
After a careful consideration, the Planning and Zoning Commission, by a vote of 5-1,
recommended approval for creation of large Ipt district (minimum lot size I-acre) and
additional 'regulations. The opposing vote was in favor of creating the district with a
minimum ~ acre lot. In addition, the motion to adopt boundaries and the motion to
rezone from R-l and R-2 to LL were unanimous (6-0) votes.
The Planning and Zoning Commission forwards the Large Lot District Committee's
recommendations for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted,

RE: Large Lot Committee Recommendations
Dear Ms. Muston:
On March 3, 2005, the Large Lot Committee formed their final recommendations on regulations and
boundaries governing the creation of a Large Lot Zoning District. At the conclusion of this meeting,
the committee set April 21, 2005, for the presentation to the Planning and Zoning Commission in a
workshop format and recommended using a town hall meeting to disseminate the proposal to the
citizens
At the April 2151 workshop, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted the workshop regarding
the proposed regulations and boundaries for the creation of a Large Lot Zoning District. The
Commission directed that the City Staff conduct a public hearing to gather citizen input prior to
formally considering the Large Lot Committee's recommendations. That hearing was conducted on
June 9, 2005.
All input has been considered and the Large Lot Committee is pleased to present the majority's final
recommendation together with City Staff modifications. The proposed regulations are described below
in comparison with the existing City of La Porte Zoning Ordinance. Where the proposed regulations
are the same as the existing ordinance, that fact is indicated along with the appropriate Section of
Chapter 106, Zoning. Committee proposed changes are indicated in red. Further Staff
recommendations are in green:

Proposed Large Lot Rural Zoning District
Town Hall Meeting
June 9,2005
Comment Summary
}> Retain "country" atmosphere
Maintain ability to raise animals
}> Grazing animals vs. "show" animals: number of allowable "show" animals should
be increased
}> "No controls" on storage of outdoor equipment will lead to junkyards
"No controls" on shipping containers contradicts another section of proposal
Existing lots less that 100' front/l acre are not addressed
1 acre/l00' frontage is too restrictive; will land lock land and face citizen
resistance
10' setback for 5,000 sq. ft. 45' high building is not enough
}> Enlarge District to include South "0" Street; extend line east from Spencer
Landing
}> Likes proposal; would like to see specifics ab.out. equipment storage.
}> Likes proposal; good for the area
}> Agrees with commi1;tee's recommendations
}> Agrees with committee's recommendations
}> Agrees with committee's recommendations; would help preserve property values
and lifestyle of community
}> Likes proposal; wants same opportunities of bei~g raised in area to be available
for kids in the future
}> 25' height limit ~or accessory buildings would be less intrusive than 45'
}> Prefer Y4 ac of V2 ac, lot size over one acre
Asphalt streets okay
Accessory building proposal okay
More animals per acre; small animals, sheep, goats, and pigs
e
e
Containers should be allowed; look better, stronger, and safer
Small acreage of 2Y2 - 3 ac. will be hurt
~ Proposed District being pushed by a few; steals property and its value.
Wrong to impose new restrictions without proper vote and notifying owners of
what it really means,
Decreases tax base; other cities work for growth while La Porte says not
important
Restricts landowners and steals landowner's rights
~ Opposed to District; long narrow lots breed mosquitoes and is useless land
Reduces tax base for La Porte
Discriminates against people who can only afford to purchase Y2 ac. or smaller
Discriminates against retired people who want to sell small plot for children to
build to avoid parents going to nursing/retirement homes
Violation of property rights guaranteed by State and Federal Constitution.
~ District is creeping socialism eroding individual's property rights; rule of few over
many
One-half acre okay and would increase tax base
Not everyone is interested in keeping animals in backyards; may need to move
to less populated area,
Unfair to those who purchased for an investment and in retirement years are
denied right to sell property,
~ Large lot should be Y2 ac. instead of 1 acre
Minimum width of 100' should include 60' for road
Limit height of primary structure to 30'; 45' is too high
Allow two dwellings per acre
Limit accessory building height to 25' maximum
Driveways should be allowed to service 2 or 3 residences
Residence should be allowed to be 800' from public water supply for fire hydrant
~ Wants to preserye rural lifestyle; wants "improvements" to not be "eyesores".
45' too high for accessory buildings
Accessory buildings should be kept even or behind the house; at least 20' from
property lines
Keep controls on storage equipment; no business livestock allowed
Keep controls on width of carports; widen to up to 35' if needed
~ Committee lost sight of goal to keep 6,000 sq. ft. subdivisions out of area.
1 ac/100 ft. too restrictive; suggest V2 - 3/4 ac/80' front
100'/acre will face too much resistance.

MINORITY REPORT
PLANNING DEPT.
FOR
PROPOSED LOMAX (ONE ACRE MINIMUM)
The establishment of large lots (one acre) would be a relatively simply task
if starting from completely undeveloped land. The implementation of new
lot minimums on land that has been surveyed out and developed for nearly
a century would be a daunting and costly task.
Major Problems:
1) The one (1) acre minimum lot size would severely limit the potential for
growth in the Loma.:y; area.
2) It would cause a greater strain on the City of LaPorte tax base.
t.
I
e
e
Background
1) Lomax annexation
a) The agreement with City of Deer Park
The tax base for the city of Lomax would only support a bond issue for
one (1) million dollars. This was only sufficient capital to install the water
and sewer lines, not the water well and sewer treatment plant.
The entices of Lomax and Deer Park entered into an agreement to use the
Federal grant monies granted to Lomax to lay water and sewer trunk lines
from Underwood road to Luella Street in Deer Park. In turn, Deer Park
would supply water and treatment services to the City of Lomax.
After one year of service, Deer Park gave Lomax a ninety day notice of
termination of services. Lomax did not have the tax base to support an
additional bond issue.
b) Failed understanding
Brought on by a failed understanding between Cities of Deer Park and
Lom~ ;rhe City of LaPorte annexed Lomax to provide water and sewer
services.
This rescued Lomax from a financial quagmire. Lomax did not have
the tax base to be self- sufficient as a City. Even after 25 years of growth
the tax base still cannot support the level of services provided by the City
of LaPorte. The residents of Lomax are being subsidized to this day.
e
e
2) Negative affects of the Large Lot Proposal.
Growth Retardation
Due to the street configuration and platted land dimension, the
establishment ofa minimum one (1) acre lot size with one hundred (100)
foot minimum street frontage would severely retard the growth potential of
the Lomax area.
Further, the establishment of the one (1) acre would force out lot land
owners to develop these lots in two (2) acre lot~ This is due to the street
frontage being from 270 feet to 484 feet wid~ g.epending on the location
of the lots. It can be readily deciphered that a land owner would be forced
to divide the out lots in from two (2) to four (4) lots to meet the one
hundred (100) foot street frontage requirements. This puts the landowner
in the position to where he is forced to develop not one acre lot size but in
(2) two plus acre lot sizes. This further diminishes the marketability of this
property.
3) Legal Implication
a) This Proposal ofminimum one acre lot size infringes on the
Inherent property rights of individuals as guaranteed by the state and
Federal constitutions. The landowner should be permitted to -
develop property in compliance with ordinances passed and
administered by and for the entire city of LaPorte, not for a selected
portion of the city.
b) The Proposal ofminimum one acre lot size discriminates
against the property owner by preventing owners from building houses
for parents or offspring, denying productive land uses, or sub dividing
IJpd disposal of property upon retirement. It also disenfranchises by not
allowing the development of property in the same manner as the rest of
LaPorte.
e
e
4) Environmental and Community Safety
A large portion .of undeveloped land in Lomax is plated in out
Lots from 270- 484 feet wide to 450 feet deep with several placed
back to back. The proposed development of 100 feet wide by 900
feet deep lots would create problems in environmental and community
safety as follows
a) No or limited access for fire protection of buildings or grass fires.
b) Would create large dead spaces behind homes that could not be
developed. Not every home owner may want to keep large animals..
c) Unmaintained dead spaces could lead to infestation of varmints and
insects.
5) Financial Discrimination
LaPorte is an attractive community with good schools, low crime, a variety
of community services for the young and old. With the expansion of
Underwood and Sens (Bay area Boulevard) roads zoned commercial, the
possibility of L Street being 4 laned, more business and prospective home
owners will be attracted to this area.
The one acre lot size could be discriminatory to future property owners.
These owners may not be able to afford or qualify for loans. The cost of
taxation from a lot these sizes would be higher vs. that of a half or third
acre.
e
e
6) Economics - tax base
The proposal of one acre minimum lots results in the area of the city of
LaPorte where there are numerous houses located on SOfeet xl 00 feet lot~
to continue to subsidize the Lomax area.
Infracrstructure costs -fire protection; police protection; street lighting,
maintenance and upgrade of roads, water and sewer lines and pump
stations. There is a significant difference in the tax base of one house on
one acre lot vs. 2 houses on half acre lot or 3 houses on third acre lots.
7) Summary
The exercise of the property right restrictions in the Lomax Large Lot
Proposal is the same as taking land by eminent domain. There are no
public use issues in this proposal.
The City of LaPorte ordinances currently are sufficient to permit the
development of large plots of land in the Lomax area. Land owners in the
Lomax area should not be forced to develop their land into large lots. In
turn (ALL LAND OWNERS) in the City of LaPorte should be governed
by the same ordinances.
8) Recommendations
a) Submit the proposal of one acre with I 00 feet width minimum to the
Texas Attorney Generalfor a rendering on the rights of property owners.
b) Let present policy of City of LaPorte remain in force. Until the
rendering is made.
c) A feasbilability study if changes are made should be done after the

, Scheduled for
September 15. 2005
To Consider
Creation of Large Lot District
I have received notice of the above referenced public hearing.
I am in FAVOR of granting this request for the following reasons:
I teach agriculture in a local school district where I also serve as the FFA advisor. This
community is a lot like La Porte. There are several neighborhoods, a few local
businesses, a couple of grocery stores, and an area that resembles Lomax where houses
are built on acreage and house livestock animals. This is only my second year to teach
here and since I still reside in Lomax, I am not completely familiar with the history of the
community, but my students are always talking about the growth they have, seen take
place just since they were in Kindergarten. Because of the growth that has taken place in
, this small city, many of my students will not get the opportunity to raise livestock
through FFA as they wanted to do. Why? Many of them used to live in an area where
, they were surrounded by land and used to be able to have whatever animals they wanted.
Land owners have since built houses, moved into the area and complained about the
animals. Because of the change in their community, my students were forced to give up
the life that they were familiar with in order to' pacify their new neighbors. Now that they
are in high school and a member of our FF A chapter, they would love to get involved in
livestock again but they don't have that opportunity because it was taken from them
several years ago. I would hate to see the students of our community one day miss out on
the opportunities of raising livestock because the land has been taken away from them.
I have been blessed to have been raised in Lomax where I was able to raise livestock
through the La Porte FF A and 4-H all throughout my school years. My parents used
these livestock as tools to help me develop into the person I am today. I have learned
compassion for the sick and old. I have learned patience with the young and stubborn. I
have learned to take responsibility for the animals that rely on me for their every health
need. I have learned the cycle of life and that sometimes the cycle is all too short. I pray
that I will be given the opportunity to raise my children in the Lomax that I know today
and that they too will have the chance to learn the life lessons that I have learned through
livestock.

Scheduled for

To Consider
Creation of Large Lot District
I have received notice of the above referenced public hearing.
I am in FAVOR of granting this request for the following reasons:
, Because of the community in which I have been raised, I was given numerous
opportunities throughout my school years that my friends never got the chance to
experience. . I have raised livestock since I was in the third grade and continue to raise
and show pigs on the national level. Through this extracurricular activity, I was able to
pay my own way through college and have money set aside to put toward my first house
upon graduating from Texas A&M. '
Because of the lifestyle I had while growing up, I have decided to major ~ agricultural
science where I have plans of one day teaching agricultural science and FF A at the
secondary level. I know that I would not be where I today if it weren't for being raised in
the Lomax Area where I was given every opportunity to interact with God's creatures on
a daily basis.
My biggest fear is that one day I will have children who will not have the same
opportunities. I fear that one day Lomax will be full of neighborhoods and inhabitants
who do not support our lifestyle. I want security in knowing that Lomax is going to be
protected.

To Consider
Creation of Large Lot District
I have received notice of the above referenced public hearing.
I am in FAVOR of granting this request for the following reasons:
I am the third generation of my family to live in my current house. I have seen numerous
housing additions added to our small "country-like" community throughout the years. I
have heard rumor that there is another one in the making. This infuriates me. My
grandparents chose this community because of the large acres of land. They wanted a
place where they could raise their children and grandchildren without being crowed by
neighbors. My grandparents hav~ since moved to a town with more of a country
atmosphere and I have taken over the house. When moving into this house, I had every
intention of raising my children here. I love the fact that they can be involved in the 4-H
and FF A programs and raise livestock without complaints from the neighbors. I am
slowly beginning to see that vision fade because of the congestion of people that seem to
be buying small plots of land and building homes. I would like to see the creation of the
Large Lot District take place to ensure that Lomax will still be Lomax when I begin
raising my family.

Large Lot Concerns:
The Large Lot Proposal has been submitted as a method to "keep Lomax rural," and as a
protection against losing the privilege to own and keep large animals. Also, there is the fear that
4-H club activities would be lost or curtailed as a normal residential development proceeds.
Currently,large lots are permitted by ordinances in the City of La Porte. There has never
been a movement to stop citizens from owning and keeping large animals in the Lomax area.
Conversely, this privilege has been supported throughout the existence of Lomax.
The proposal to keep Lomax "rural" is nothing more than a euphemism to stop or curtail
development in the Lomax area. If the Large Lot proposal is passed into an ordinance, that
purpose will be accomplished.
Sixteen percent (16%) ofthe City of La Porte's land area that can be developed is
located in the Lomax area. This Large Lot proposal would prevent development in eighty percent
(80%) of the available land for development in the Lomax area. This can be explained by the fact
that present ordinances permit five to one (5 to 1) residential roof top density per acre as opposed
to one (1) residential rooftop density per acre in the Large Lot proposal. This eighty percent
(80%) reduction in potential development translates into a twelve point eight percent (12.8%)
reduction in the potential development of the City of La Porte.
If the City of La Porte experienced this kind of a reduction (12.8%) in growth potential, i.e.
industrial plant dosings with resulting population and tax base reduction, City officials would be
holding special meetings to try to alleviate this kind of reduction to the City.
The method used to plot Lomax and the divisions of these plots since the original survey
is not conducive to the development of large sub-divisions. Any new ordinance should be written
to permit three (3) to four (4) residential rooftops per acre. One example of how to develop the
outlots and still maintain the rural atmosphere is the development of Laura Lane located off L
Street in Lomax (see Attachment 1). This kind of development would enhance the Lomax tax
base.
As written, the Large Lot proposal for the Lomax area severely impacts land owners with
ten (10) acres or less, and also has a negative impact on the City of La Porte and La Porte
Independent School District tax base. An alternative proposal of three (3) to four (4) residential
roof tops per acre would be a better solution.
Request to City Council:
In the event the Large Lot proposal is put into effect, property impacted by the La Porte
Thoroughfare Plan, as outlined in Chapter Five of the La Porte Comprehensive Master
Development Plan, should be exempted. I should note that my property is impacted by theAThoroughfare Plan, which connects H Street to L Street.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The City of La Porte Comprehensive plan 2000-2020 establishes Objective 9.2a to create a Large Lot Residential Land
Use Designation (District). On August 3, 2004, a town hall meeting was hosted by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and City Staff at the Lomax City Hall. All citizens were invited to attend. The Commission heard input by residents
interested in creating a large lot, large acreage, and suburban/rural type of development district. Hearing overwhelming
support, the Planning and Zoning Commission directed that a Committee be fonned to study issues with creating the
District and start a review of zoning regulations of the area.
The Large Lot Committee met monthly from September 2004 to March 2005. Meetings were open to the public and
residents attended throughout the process. Flyers and other informative letters were sent to property owners within the
proposed District. Input throughout the process was considered. On March 5, 2005, the Committee reached a 70%
consensus to fonnally recommend regulations, boundaries and a zoning change to create the Large Lot District zoning
classification. The Planning and Zoning Commission heard the matter in a workshop on April 21, 2005, and taking the
Committee's recommendation, directed Staff to conduct another public meeting to present the recommendations to the
public. This hearing was completed on June 9, 2005.
On July 21,2005, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a workshop for the proposed Large Lot Zoning District, and
discussed citizen's input gathered during the Town Hall Meeting on June 9,2005, at the Lomax Elementary School. The
Commission, after a review of citizen input from the June 9th hearing, had reservations about some of the
recommendations made by the Large Lot Committee (Citizen Comment Summary enclosed at exhibit 4). The
Commission directed staff to assess and make suggestions for the following issues:
. Minimum lot width of 100'
. 45' height proposed for accessory buildings
. No control proposed for outside equipment or exterior storage
. Rules for Grazing An imals
. Allowances for FF A/4H type of programs
As directed by the Planning and Zoning Commission, Staff conducted a workshop for the above considerations at the
August 18, 2005, meeting. All input considered, the Large Lot Committee presented the majority's final recommendation
together with the City Staff modifications at the September 15,2005, meeting. Mr. Sid Grant, a member of the Large Lot
Committee and representing the three (3) dissenting votes, presented the minority opinion opposing the creation of the
District. (Minority Report enclosed at exhibit 5).
The Planning and Zoning Commission, during their September 15, 2005 meeting, held a public hearing to receive citizen
comments regarding creation of a Large Lot District and consider additional regulations for the district, adopt the
boundaries, and rezoning from Low-Density Residential (R-l) and Medium Density Residential (R-2) to Large Lot
District (LL).

As required by ordinance, 854 notices of public hearing were mailed to property owners within and around the District.
After careful consideration, the Planning and Zoning Commission forwarded the Large Lot Committee's
recommendations to City Council for approval. The final votes for the three motions were as follows: Create the
District with additional regulations (5-1 with the dissenting vote in regard to the I acre minimum), Adopt boundaries
(6-0), and Rezone from Low-Density Residential & Medium Density Residential to Large Lot District (6-0). The
Commission forwards the recommendation to Council with the additional consideration that th~ ~lanning Department and
the City Attorney also add a Section to the Ordinance outlining the procedures for a VariancelO~ther mechanism to allow
relief from the regulations governing the Large Lot District for consideration during possiblWeliberations by the Zoning
Board of Adjustment. (q()
Staff will present a detailed briefing on the proposed changes during the Public Hearing portion of the October 24, 2005,
Council Meeting. A summary of the final proposed changes from the Committee is attached at exhibit 2. Given that
there are several economic issues associated with the proposed change, Council should review the attached Information
Paper, dated October 7, 2004, (exhibit 6) that was considered by the Large Lot Committee concerning comparative
developmental cost and tax base analysis between a Large Lot Development and a standard 6000 SF, single family
detached development currently allowed by the Zoning Ordinance.
Per the request by the Planning and Zoning Commission, Staff coordinated with the City Attorney and determined
that possible applications to the ZBOA for relief from the provisions governing the propose Large Lot District
would fall under Section 106-191, Special Exceptions. In order to answer the Commission's concerns, Staff
recommends that the City Council, upon consideration of approval for creating the District and associated
regulations, that the following wording, for a special exception be included within the amendments to Chapter 106,
Section 106-191, Special Exceptions., (b) (4):
(4) To deviate from the minimum lot size or width requirements for property wit/,in the Large Lot
District, where the Board finds that all of the following conditions are shown:
a. that one or more lots located in the same block as the subject property are not uniform in
terms of shape and/or size so t/,at any further subdivision oflhe subject property cannot be in
accordance with the regulations governing the District;
b. it can be demonstrated that the subdivision will not circumvent the spirit of the District
regulations, or particularly, the rural character of tl,e District; and,
c. granting the special exception will not be injurious to the value or enjoyment of adjacent
properties within the District.
There were 854 mail-outs with 50 responses returned; 34 in favor of creating the District and 16 against.
Action Required bv Council:
1. Conduct public hearing.
2. Consider taking action on three recommendations for approval by P&Z on:
. To create the Large Lot District and adopt additional regulations for the District, with further
amendments to add a special exception clause
. Adopt boundaries for the Large Lot District
. Rezone from Low-Density Residential and Medium Density Residential to Large Lot District.
