. _: <br />u <br />TO: <br /> <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br /> <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMOP.ANDUM <br />MAYOR & CITY COMMISSION <br />FROM• PLANNIPIG & ZONING COMMISSION <br />PAT MUSTON, CHAIRA4AN <br />SUBJECT: <br />DATE: OCTOBER 23, 1979 <br />BLOCK 727, LA PORTE ADDITION <br />REQUEST FOR REZONING FROM COMMERCIAL <br />TO INDUSTRIAL, PIERSIDE INDUSTRIES, INC. <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends rezoning of Block 727 <br />from Commercial to Light Industrial. Since the City does not <br />presently have such a classification, the recommendation must be <br />to rezone to Industrial, with use limited to light industry. <br />At the present time the property bears a.Commercial classification, <br />with a special use permit to allow light industry similar in nature <br />to container repair operations. <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission does not wish to discourage an <br />experienced company such as Pierside Industries, Inc., from <br />• operating in the City of La Porte. We feel that the "know-how" of <br />this company will set an example for similar industries to follow. <br />We have been assured that the location will not cause any traffic <br />hazard or nuisance to neighboring properties. <br />It is reasonable to expect that such a firm will not complete purchase <br />of the property, nor make needed improvements to the property under the <br />temporary and limiting terms of a special use permit. <br />We therefore recommended rezoning to Industrial, with use limited to <br />light industry. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Pat Muston ~~ <br />~~ <br />• B ~~~o, <br />o <br />~~ ~` <br /> <br />
