SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
City Council is asked to consider condemning and ordering the demolition of nine (9) substandard structures located
within the site known as 200 Garfield (Flamingo Bay Apartments a.k.a. Garfield Apartments). Subsequent to this
meeting, as required by the City's Code of Ordinances Article VIII; Section 82-475 and as amended by Ordinance
#04-2700, a notice was published in the Bayshore Sun. A certified letter containing the public notice was mailed to
the owner of the buildings in question.
The purpose of this public hearing is to receive property owner and citizen comments as to why each of the
structures should or should not be condemned and demolished. Following the close of the hearing, Council will be
asked to consider condemnation of the structures. The ordinances have been prepared so they correspond with the
apartment complex map included with this packet.
There are nine (9) structures located within the complex and a condemnation ordinance has been prepared for each
one. As the ordinances are all in a standardized form with only the building numbers changing, to reduce the
bulkiness of the agenda packet, we have attached only one complete ordinance. However, since the information
shown on the inspection reports vary from building to building, we have attached all of the reports.
The Dangerous Building Inspection Board (Chief Building Official, Fire Marshal and Fire Chief) unanimously
recommend all nine (9) of the substandard buildings be condemned and demolished.
Action Required bv Council:
1. Conduct Public Hearing
2. Consider passing ordinances condemning each of the nine (9) structures
3. Consider tabling any structure that may need additional consideration/review

CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS
ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
FINDINGS OF FACT AND
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
NCSOO-001
JANUARY 27, 2000
Upon conclusion of the public hearing of the above-referenced cause, held on January
27, 2000, at 7:00 p.m. at La Porte City Hall, 604 West Fairmont Parkway, during which
witnesses were called and testified, subsequent to being placed under oath, the Zoning
Board of Adjustment of the City of La Porte, Texas, meeting in duly called open session
at La Porte City Hall, makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The applicant, Lakeside Center, Inc. ("Lakeside") was proposing to reopen the
Flamingo Bay Apartments, 200 Garfield ("Flamingo Bay"), located within the City of
La Porte, Harris County, Texas.
2. Notices of the public hearing held before the Zoning Board of Adjustment of the City
of La Porte, Texas ("the Board") were properly mailed and published, according to
law.
3. Flamingo Bay was built in the mid-1960's, and was occupied until July, 1997.
4. Flamingo Bay ceased to be occupied from July, 1997 until the date of the hearing, a
period close to 2 % years.
5. Lakeside established no evidence of intent in connection with the abandonment of
the property, including establishing no evidence of intent of abandonment prior to
Lakeside's acquisition of Flamingo Bay.
6. Flamingo Bay is Zoned R-3, Multi-family Residential, which is a zoning classification
apropos for apartments.
7. Flamingo Bay has 19 off-street parking spaces. The Zoning Ordinance requires
135. Flamingo Bay proposed to construct an additional 16 off-street parking spaces,
providing a total of 35 proposed off-street parking spaces, or 100 short of Zoning
Ordinance requirements.
8. Flamingo Bay consists of 9 separate buildings. 5 of these existing buildings
significantly encroach on front and/or side and/or rear yard setbacks required by the
Zoning Ordinance, to varying degree. Lakeside made no proposal to alleviate these
encroachments.
9. Flamingo Bay resides on 1.83 acres of land, and has 57 dwelling units, a ratio of 31
dwelling units per acre. The Zoning Ordinance requires a maximum ratio of 27
dwelling units per acre. Lakeside made no proposal to alleviate this excessive (per
Zoning Ordinance) density.
10. The Lakeside proposal, relative to landscaping, would have satisfied Zoning
Ordinance requirements.
11. Lakeside was, prior to purchasing Flamingo Bay in December, 1999, notified of the
non-conforming aspects of this project.
Zoning Board of Adjustment,
City of La Porte
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law
Page 2
02/22/00
12. Numerous problems occurred between nearby residents and former tenants of
Flamingo Bay in the past. Lakeside promised to rectify these problems with security
measures and a proposed neighborhood council.
13.Lakeside purchased Flamingo Bay out of $1,491,842.00 in HOME grant funds. A
budget exists in the amount of $800,000.00 for renovation and/or construction of the
project. Serious questions exist as to whether the budget is sufficient to alleviate
foundation and/or other structural problems, HVAC problems, drainage problems,
environmental problems, and other code compliance problems.
14. Overwhelming testimony from La Porte citizens and nearby residents of the property
opposed the project as proposed by Lakeside. The testimony came in oral and/or
written form.
15. The Flamingo Bay renovation is not consistent with the stated goals of the Zoning
Ordinance to eliminate non-conformity where existing.
16.Any conclusions of law which may be deemed findings of fact are adopted as part of
these findings.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. Clear evidence in the record shows that Flamingo Bay Apartments have been
abandoned for a period in excess of 180 consecutive calendar days prior to the
application of Lakeside for redevelopment. No substantial evidence of intent
regarding abandonment was put forward by the applicant, or could be reasonably
inferred from the testimony in front of the Board. The Board concludes that
Flamingo Bay Apartments have been abandoned as a matter of law, consistent with
Zoning Ordinance provisions relative to abandonment of non-conforming structures,
and non-conforming lots of record. The Board concludes that Applicant failed to
prove Applicant's intent relative to abandonment of the structures.
2. Section 1 06-262(h )(2) of the Code of Ordinances of the City of La Porte states:
". .. (The) use of the non-conforming structure, when abandoned, shall not resume..."
3. As a matter of Law, the use of Flamingo Bay Apartments, which are non-conforming
structures as defined under the terms of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of La
Porte, shall not resume.
4. Any findings of fact which may be deemed conclusions of law are adopted as part of
these conclusions.
PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, CITY OF LA
