SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
During the December 11, 2006, Council meeting, the issue ofthe Canada rezone from R-2 to GC matter was heard. State Law
states that if a written protest is signed by 20% of the residents within the 200-foot ring from the proposed rezone, a vote of
three-fourths of "all the members of the governing body" is required to pass the motion. This is also reflected in Section 106-
171 (7) of Chapter 106 (Zoning) of the City Code of Ordinances. The rezone vote at the December 11th meeting was 4 to
approve and 3 against. Staff has since had the opportunity to check the written petition submitted against the rezone. Since the
petition was submitted shortly before the meeting, there was insufficient time to verify the names on the list. Of the 18 mail-
outs to properties within the 200-foot zone, 7 of the owners are signatories on the petition (or 39%). The names and/or
addresses of the citizens who signed the petition and are included within the 200-foot ring are as follows:
Gilbert Duran Jr.; 9225 Barton Ct.
Frederick Paulus; 9225 San Saba Ct.
Brant Morgan; 9214 Caddo Ct.
Robert Martinez Jr.; 9222 Desirable Dr.
John Harmon; 9222 San Saba Ct.
Claudia Rogers; 9221 Barton Ct.
Teri Ann McMullen (Phyllis Barnes signed); 9221 San Saba Ct.
Since the petition was opposed to the rezone it is, therefore, a protest under the defmition of the ordinance. A positive vote for
the rezone would have required 7 votes from "all members of city council" as worded in Section 106-171 (7). As such,
the previous motion on this matter failed to achieve the required number of votes for approval and Staff is recommending that
the December 11, 2006, motion be rescinded. There is no statutory time limit to reconsider this issue. Should council
reconsider the matter, a reprint of the previous Staff report is as follows:
The Planning and Zoning Commission, during their November 16, 2006, meeting, held a public hearing to receive citizen
comments regarding Rezone Request #R06-003. The request was made by the property owner ofTRS 692C, 693B, 706, and
707, La Porte Outlots, William M. Jones Survey, A-482, La Porte, Harris County, Texas. The subject tract (17.7717 acres) is
located to the east of Canada Road and 1000' north of Fairmont Parkway. Currently, the property is zoned Medium Density
Residential (R-2). The property is in the vicinity of an existing warehouse/storage facility, a mobile home park, single-family
residential subdivisions across the Harris County Flood Control District ditch, and the City's 33 acres of land for proposed
Westside Park. Last year, approximately 35 acres oflandjust south of the subject tract, located at the intersection of Canada
Road and Fairmont Parkway, was also rezoned from Medium Density Residential (R-2) to General Commercial (GC).
The Buxton Study, a commercial study on La Porte, along with the widening of Canada Road (lOO'ROW) project, has
prompted the owner/developer to re-evaluate development options and consider providing commercial/retail at this
intersection. Earlier, the City of La Porte selected three sites to be analyzed and ranked for possible retail development,
revitalization, in order to attract commercial developments in the area. The Study recommended and the Council selected
Canada RoadlFairmont Parkway intersection as the best retail potential site based upon Canada Road eventually being
expanded and put through to the south. Commercial activities and tax components are to be favorably considered while
reviewing this rezone request. The subject site is hampered by the pipeline easement and requires a creative design for land
development. The tract in question is suitable for commercial classification and the property is naturally buffered by a
drainage easement and channel as well.
Harris County Flood Control District channel (15WROW) to the east of the subject tract would provide adequate buffer and
open space to minimize any adverse effects of commercial activities on adjacent residential development (pecan Crossing
Subdivision). In addition, landscaping/screening adjacent to the channel shall be required to minimize any noise impact to the
abutting residential uses. Ordinances require that parking lot lighting must be arranged so as to deflect lights away from any
adjoining residential zone or from public right-of-way, in compliance with Section 1060521(a) of the Code of Ordinances.
As required by Ordinance, Eighteen notices of public hearing were mailed to property owners within 200' of the site. Three
responses were received (1 Favor, 2 Opposed). Two individuals, who initially opposed the measure, withdrew their opposition
after hearing the staff report and presentation made during the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Granting this
requested change should not be contrary to the goals and objectives of the La Porte Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, by a unanimous vote (7-0), recommends City Council approval of Rezone Request
#R06-003.
Action Required bv Council:
1. Consider a motion to rescind the December 11, 2006, motion to approve Rezone Request #R06-003 (requires a simple
majority).
2. Reconsider the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to approve Rezone Request #R06-003, for TRS
692C, 693B, 706, and 707, La Porte Outlots, rezoned from Medium Density Residential (R-2) to General Commercial
(GC) (requires a super majority or 7 votes to approve).

Zone Change Request #R06-003
ReQuested by: Bobby Grisham, agent on behalf of Kenneth P. Dawson, Trustee
ReQuested for: TRS 692C, 693B, 706 and 707 (17.7717 acres), La Porte Outlots, as
recorded in Volume 83, Page 344, of the Deed Records of Harris County,
William M. Jones Survey, Abstract 482, La Porte, Harris County, Texas.
Location: 2000 Block of Canada Road
Present Zoning: Medium Density Residential (R-2)
ReQuested Zoning: General Commercial (GC)
Surrounding Zoning:
North - Medium Density Residential (R-2)
South - General Commercial (GC)
East - Low Density Residential (R-1)
West - Manufactured Housing (MH)
Background:
The subject tracts comprise approximately 18 acres of land out of William
M. Jones Survey, Abstract-482, La Porte, Harris County, Texas. The
property is located approximately 1000' north of the intersection of Canada
Road and Fairmont Parkway. The property in question is 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 west across 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" ofthe City of La Porte.
The applicant seeks to rezone this property from Medium Density
Residential (R-2) to General Commercial (GC) for commercial/retail
purposes.
Analvsis:
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.
#R 06-003
P&Z 11/16/06
Page 2 of 4
Last year, approximately 35 acres of land just south of the subject tract,
located at the intersection of Canada Road and Fairmont Parkway, was
rezoned from Medium Density Residential (R-2) to General Commercial
(GC).
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 at 3337 Canada Road. An
undeveloped vacant property and the City's proposed "West Side Park" are
also in the vicinity.
The current land use plan designates the area as intended for commercial
uses, and the City has been consistent in providing General Commercial
(GC) uses along the major roads within the City limits. However, the
following aspects shall be considered for a rezone request:
. Ability of infrastructure to support the permitted use.
. Impact on the value and practicality of the surrounding land uses.
. Conformance of a zoning request with the land use plan.
. Character ofthe 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 tract in question will have access along Canada Road
running north and south between Spencer Highway and Fairmont parkway.
Earlier, the design of Canada Road improvement was completed in 2004.
The rights-of-way for the proposed road improvement 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 in January
2005. The Canada Road improvement/widening project were completed in
November, 2005. Traffic signalization is already in place and opened for
traffic from Fairmant Parkway to State Highway 225 via East Boulevard.
#R 06-003
P&Z 11/16/06
Page 3 of4
Canada Road, an arterial with a 100' ROW, may accommodate the
additional traffic generated by future commercial developments. In
addition, Fairmont Parkway, a controlled access highway with a 250' ROW
may also accommodate additional traffic generated by this development.
Utilities - Due to the success of the Canada Road improvement project,
infrastructure for anticipated development at this intersection is in place.
Storm water drainage will be reviewed case by case with the development
site plan submittal for the 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-fill development within existing infrastructure service areas. As per plan,
commercial, retail, and service activities shall 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 along Canada Road.
Buxton Study - An economic development study took place 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. The City of La Porte selected three
sites to be analyzed and ranked for possible retail development or
revitalization. To aid in the decision-making process to select the best
site, the company has ranked Canada Road and Fairmont Parkway as
having the best overall retail trade potential site. Retail potential of this
site is based on the following analysis:
. A twelve minute drive time trade area
. Customers in each trade area segmented as per buying habits and
lifestyles
. Profile of La Porte's customers within the trade area
. Retail demand for more than 400 products and services determined for
the potential trade area.
Based on the above analysis and the best use review option by the applicant
and the prospective developers reveal that the subject site would be better
served by the proposed rezone, which would be consistent with the
anticipated use of property to the south of this tract. Using this scenario, the
applicant is requesting to rezone the property from Medium Density
Residential (R-2) to General Commercial (GC). A conceptual plan for future
commercial activities planned at this site is attached as Exhibit.
#R 06-003
P&Z 11/16/06
Page 4 of 4
Conclusion /
Recommendation:
Based on the above analysis, staff finds the requested change conforms to
the abutting zoning and is suitable for the requested change to General
Commercial, allowing commercial/retail development. Development within
the subject tract should not negatively impact the surrounding properties nor
harm the value of nearby properties. The zone change should not have a
significant impact on traffic conditions in the area and utilities can support
future developments.
Actions available to the Commission are listed below:
. Recommend to Council approval of this rezoning request, from
Medium Density Residential (R-2) to General Commercial (GC).
. Recommend to Council denial of this rezoning request from Medium
Density Residential (R-2) to General Commercial (GC).
. Table this item for further consideration by the Commission.

I have received notice of the above referenced public hearing.
I am in FAVOR of granting this request for the following reasons:
I am. OPPOSED to granting this request for the following reasons:
I feel that commercial property just 200 yards from our back fence would make our
neighborhood noisy, and possibly not nearly as safe. We are paying a good price for our
peace and quiet as well as our safety and security and do not wish to give that up.
We also feel it would decrease the value of our property for which we paid a premium
price. Thank you for your consideration in denying this rezoning request.
