Appropriation Source of Funds: N/A Account Number: N/A Report: Resolution: Ordinance: X Amount Budgeted: N/A Exhibits: Amount Requested: N/A Ordinance p & Z Staff Report Aerial Map Zoning Map Budgeted Item: N/A SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Commission, during their December 15,2005, meeting, held a public hearing to receive citizen comments regarding Rezone Requests #R05-006, #R05-007, and #R05-008. These requests were made by the property owners of TR 712, TR 713, and TRS 71OA&711, La Porte Outlots, William M. Jones Survey, A-482, La Porte, Harris County, Texas. TR 712 (8.6522 acres) zoned Medium Density Residential (R-2), is located northeast of Canada Road and Fairmont Parkway. TR 713 (8.0280 acres) zoned Medium Density Residential (R-2), is also located northeast of Canada Road and Fairmont Parkway. In addition, 17.8060 acres of land consisting of TRS 710A & 711, zoned Medium Density Residential (R-2) and Neighborhood Commercial (Ne), are located northwest of Canada Road and Fairmont Parkway. The subject tracts are in the vicinity of an existing warehouse/storage facility, a manufactured housing! Trailer Park along Canada Road, single-family residential subdivisions across the Harris County Flood Control District ditch to the north and east, 33 acres of land for proposed Wests ide Park, and the Bayport Industrial District to the south of Fairmont Parkway. While a significant portion of the property is currently zoned Medium Density Residential, the current land use plan shows the area is intended for commercial uses at the intersection of Canada Road and Fairmont Parkway. The widening of Canada Road (1 00' ROW) project has prompted owners/developers to reevaluate their development options and consider providing commercial/retail at this intersection. In addition, the City has been consistent in accommodating commercial uses along major roads. By default, commercial activities should be concentrated in nodes along major thoroughfares and intersections throughout the City. Currently, an economic development study is underway on the La Porte area in order to identify types of retail business appropriate for the community and to attract commercial developments in the area. The subject site is one of the identified locations for this study. Commercial activities and tax components are to be favorably considered while reviewing these rezone requests. The site is suitable for commercial classification and the area is naturally buffered by drainage easements and channels as well. As required by Ordinance, fifteen notices of public hearing were mailed to property owners within 200' of the site. No responses were received. Granting this requested change should not be contrary to the goals and objectives ofthe La Porte Comprehensive Plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by a unanimous vote (7-0), recommends City Council approval of Rezone Requests. Action Required bv Council: 1. Conduct public hearing. 2. Consider taking action on recommendation for approval by Planning and Zoning Commission for the followings: a) Rezone Request #R05-006, TR 712 rezone from R-2 to GC b) Rezone Request #R05-007, TR 713 rezone from R-2 to GC c) Rezone Request #R05-008, TRS 71OA&711 rezone from R-2 & NC to GC Approved for City Council A2enda Deb~~~2~~~G J-L}~m~ Date ORDINANCE NO~01-X ~) AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE, CHAPTER 106, MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE, BY CHANGING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION FROM MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL, MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL REQUESTED BY THE OWNERS OF THE RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES, TR 712, TR 713, TR 710A, AND TR 711 LA PORTE OUTLOTS, LOCATED AT THE INTESCETION OF CANADA ROAD AND FAIRMONT PARKWAY, HEREIN DESCRIBED; MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS OF FACT RELATED TO THE SUBJECT; FINDING COMPLIANCE WITH THE OPEN MEETINGS LAW; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF; BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE: "Section 1.

(Douglas Tollett) TR 713 8.0280 R-2 GC Jack Howard, W. Floyd, Larry Allen TRS 710A, 711 17.8060 R-2 & NC GC The subject tracts comprise approximately 34.5 acres of land out of William M. Jones Survey, Abstract-482, La Porte, Harris County, Texas. The said properties are located at the intersection of Canada Road and Fairmont Parkway. The properties are also in the vicinity of a pre-existing warehouse/storage facility, manufactured housing, and a single-family residential subdivision along Canada Road. The adjoining property to the northwest of Canada Road and adjacent to the Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) facility consists of 33 acres of land intended for use as the proposed "West Side Park" of the City of La Porte. The applicants seek to rezone their respective properties from Medium Density Residential (R-2) and Neighborhood Commercial (NC) to General Commercial (GC) for commercial/retail purposes. In considering this request, Staff reviewed the following Comprehensive Plan elements: Land Use, Thoroughfare System, Utility Infrastructure, and Economic Development. The specific issues considered are as follows: Land Use -- Review of the City's Land Use Plan shows the subject tract developing as mid-to-high density residential, however, some commercial uses are shown at the intersection of Canada Road and Fairmont Parkway. The adjacent properties across the Big Island Slough (B 1 09-00-00) are single-family residential (Pecan Crossing Subdivision). Other surrounding existing uses to the north are single-family residential, a manufactured housing park, and a storage/warehouse facility along Canada Road. An undeveloped vacant property and the City's proposed "West Side Park" are also in the vicinity. The Bayport Industrial District of La Porte is to the south ofFairmont Parkway. Zone Change P & Z (12/15/05) Page 2 of3 The current land use plan designates the area as intended for commercial use, and the City has been consistent in accomodating General Commercial (GC) uses along the major roads within the City limits. However, the following aspects should be considered for granting a rezoning request: . Ability of infrastructure to support the permitted use. . Impact on the value and practicality ofthe surrounding land uses. . Conformance of a zoning request with the land use plan. . Character of the surrounding and adjacent areas. . Suitability of the property for the uses which would be permissible, considering density, access and circulation, and adequacy of public facilities and services. . The extent to which the proposed use designation would adversely affect the capacity or safety of that portion of the road. . The extent to which the proposed use designation would create excessive air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, or other environmental harm to adjacent properties. . The gain, if any, to the public health, safety, and welfare of the City. Transportation - The tracts in question will have access along Canada Road running north and south between Spencer Highway and Fairmont parkway. The design of Canada Road improvement was completed in 2004. The rights-of-way for the proposed road improvement were acquired and the utilities to serve this general area were designed given special consideration to the pipeline adjustments and power lines relocation. The bidding and construction of the road and utilities started earlier this year. The Canada Road improvement project was completed in November, 2005. Traffic signalization work is under progress at this time, and it is estimated that it will be few weeks to complete this project. Canada Road, an arterial with a 100' ROW, may accommodate the additional traffic generated by future developments. In addition, Fairmont Parkway, a controlled access highway with a 250' R.O.W. may also accommodate additional traffic generated by this development. Utilities - Due to the success of the Canada Road improvement project, infrastructure is in place for the anticipated developments at this intersection. Storm water drainage will be reviewed carefully with the site development plan submittal for proposed development. Economic Development - One of the intentions of the Comprehensive Plan is to encourage new and sustained investment in the City as the basis of a successful redevelopment strategy. This may be achieved by encouraging in- Zone Change P & Z (12/15/05) Page 3 of3 Conclusion: fill development within existing infrastructure service areas. Commercial, retail, and service activities should be clustered throughout the City and be convenient to residential areas. In addition, commercial activities should be concentrated in nodes along major thoroughfares and intersections, such as the proposed location. Currently, an economic development study is underway on the La Porte area in order to specify which types of retail business the community should be targeting to attract commercial development in the area. Projection of future commercial growth and tax components are to be favorably considered in this matter. Based on the above analysis, staff finds the requested zone changes are compatible with the zoning and uses of nearby properties. The properties in question are suitable for the requested change to General Commercial (GC). The developments within the subject tracts should not negatively impact the surrounding properties or harm the value of nearby properties. Furthermore, the proposed developments should not have a significant impact on the traffic conditions in the area. In reviewing this request the Commission should consider the following: . There was no apparent error in assigning the present zoning designation to the tracts in question. . There have been significant changes in the area that warrant a change to the zoning designation. . The requested change is compatible with the goals and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Actions available to the Commission are listed below: . Recommend to City Council approval of RE# 05-006. . Recommend to City Council denial ofRE# 05-006. . Recommend to City Council approval of RE# 05-007. . Recommend to City Council denial ofRE# 05-007. . Recommend to City Council approval ofRE# 05-008. . Recommend to City Council denial ofRE# 05-008. . Table one or all of these items for further consideration by the Commission.
