Special Conditional Use Permit Request #SCU05-005
Dr. Dilip Patel, M.D. (La Porte Medical Clinic)
Approximately 0.115 acre tract being part of 0.43 acre of land described as
lots 1-4 & pt. of lots 5 & 6, Block 177, Town of La Porte, Johnson Hunter
Survey, Abstract 35, La Porte, Harris County, Texas. The property is
located at 1001 S. 4th Street adjacent to the Record Storage facility of the
City of La Porte.
General Commercial (GC)
Applicant is seeking a Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP) for the
purpose of allowing construction of an off-site parking lot for a medical
clinic. Off-site parking is classified as a conditional use per Section 106-441,
Table A, Commercial Uses of the Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 106).
City Council directed staff to work with Dr. Dilip Patel, M.D. of the La Porte
Medical Clinic on the abatement of the trees obstructing the stopping sight
triangle at the northeast corner of South 4th Street and West Fairmont
Parkway and on the continued parking of private vehicles in the public right-
of-way at the same intersection. Dr. Patel has been approached by the City
staff for a possible location of additional parking to serve his clinic located at
404 W. Fairmont Parkway near the City Hall. The Harris County Appraisal
District (HCAD) describes this property as Lots 12-16, Block 177, at the
northeast corner of South 4th Street and Fairmont Parkway. The City of La
Porte owns lots I thru II of the same block behind the medical clinic. The
City's Water Well #3 occupies lots 7-11. The record storage facility is
located on lots 1 thru 4, with lots 5 & 6 undeveloped. The City will lease a
portion of these lots to Dr. Patel for parking area to serve the Physician's
office and other medical facilities.
Zoning Ordinance Section 106-217 establishes the following review criteria
and conditions for approval of Special Conditional Use Permits:
. That the specific use will be compatible with and not injurious to the use
and enjoyment of the other property, nor significantly diminish or impair
property values within the immediate vicinity.
. That the conditions placed on such use, as specified in each district, have
been met by the applicant.
. That the applicant has agreed to meet any additional conditions imposed,
based on specific site constraints necessary to protect the public interest
and welfare of the community.
Off-site Parking
SCU05-005
Page 2 of3
.
e
Since the opening of new medical facility at this location, numbers of
visitors/patients for La Porte Medical Clinic has increased significantly.
Private vehicles are often parked along South 4th Street and on the City
property across the street. Pedestrian and other vehicular traffic experienced
problems like visibility/sight triangle and off-street parking. The clinic is
located in an area with no off-street parking. Therefore, additional off-site
parking would be required to meet City's parking requirements. The tract
intended for a parking area is in a close proximity to the clinic between
record storage facility and water well. Moreover, there is no reasonable
location on the existing clinic site and surrounding area to provide an off-site
parking.
Section 106-444, Special Use Performance Standards for off-site parking
addresses the following issues pertaining to the subject use within a
commercial zone.
. Such off-site parking shall comply with all parking standards stated in
the Zoning Ordinance and prCM.
. Reasonable access from an off-site parking facility to the use served shall
be provided.
. In addition, off-site parking shall be within 300 feet of the use served.
. Should have good access to secondary and primary streets.
As proposed, the parking lot shall be constructed at the applicant's expense
and land lease to him for five years. The estimated cost of construction is
calculated to be $20,000 and would include but not limited to a concrete
parking lot, lighting, sidewalks and landscaping/screening. In exchange, the
City will receive the removal/abatement of the aforementioned trees and the
cessation of parking in the public right-of-way as well as a monthly fee of
approximately $320.00.
Attached site plan shows parking spaces and maneuvering aisles are of
adequate dimensions. Access from off-site parking to the building is
reasonable. The parking lot will serve the facility that might expand in
future. It will benefit the area by moving cars off the street into a proper and
adequate parking area.
This site and the proposed use meets all the above criteria. Staff believes the
request satisfies all applicable ordinance requirements. This facility and the
proposed use are compatible with the surrounding properties and should not
be injurious to the use, enjoyment or value of surrounding properties

Conclusion!
Recommendations: Staff recommends the approval of a Special Conditional Use Permit
#SCU05-005 with the following conditions:
. Off-site parking shall comply with all parking standards.
. Screening and/or landscaping of parking lot shall be required in
accordance with Section 106-444(a) of the Ordinances.
. Paved area of parking lot would be concrete equipped with lighting and
landscaping.
. All construction costs and sidewalks installation will be the
responsibility of the lessee.
. The monthly lease fee is expected to be approximately $320.00.
. A properly drawn legal instrument (lease agreement), duly approved by
the City Attorney, shall be filed with the City Secretary.
. The Developer shall comply with all applicable laws and ordinances of
the City and the State of Texas.
Options available to the Commission are:
. Recommend to Council approval of this SCUP
. Recommend to Council denial of this SCUP
. Table this item for further consideration by the Commission.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission, during its May 19, 2005, meeting, held a public hearing to receive citizen
comments regarding Special Conditional Use Penn it Request #SCU05-005. The request, submitted by Dr. Dilip Patel,
seeks approval of a Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP) to allow off-site parking for a medical clinic located at 404
West Fainnont Parkway. Off-site parking is classified as a conditional use per Section 106-441, Table A, Commercial Uses of
the Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 106).
Earlier, City Council directed staff to work with Dr. Dilip Patel, M.D. of the La Porte Medical Clinic on the abatement of the
trees obstructing the stopping sight triangle at the northeast comer of South 4th Street and West Fainnont Parkway and on the
continued parking of private vehicles in the public right-of-way at the same intersection. Dr. Patel was approached by the City
staff for a possible location of additional parking to serve his clinic located at the northeast corner of South 4th Street and West
Fainnont Parkway near the City Hall. The City of La Porte owns lots 1 thru 11 of the same block behind the medical clinic. The
City's Water Well #3 occupies lots 7-11. The record storage facility is located on lots I thru 4, with lots 5 & 6 undeveloped.
As suggested, the City wilIlease a portion of these lots to Dr. Patel for parking area to serve the Physician's office and other
medical facilities. It is noted that, there is not enough space at the medical facility to accommodate on-site parking. In addition,
there is no other reasonable site available nearby this facility.
As per Ordinances, the proposed location for off-site parking is within 300 feet of the principal building. Parking lot wiII be
constructed as per City's specs with lighting, sidewalks, and landscaping installed at the applicant's expense. The estimated cost
of construction is calculated to be $20,000 for concrete parking lot. The City will receive the abatement of trees in the sight
triangle as well as monthly fee of approximately $320.00 per month for five year lease pre-paid by Dr. Patel for the above
improvements. St. l. 1J . () ~
