Requested For: An 87 acre tract out of tract #2 of the Enoch Brinson Survey
and Lots 13; 14; 19; 20; 29; 30; Nebraska Syndicate. This
property is further described as being located in the 700 and
800 blocks of North 13th Street and the 900 through 1400
blocks of Highway 146 North. (See Exhibit A)
Requested By: Ms. Sherrie Langley and Mr. Harold Mathews, lessees, who aze
acting on authority of Southern Pacific Transportation
Company, property owner.
Zonin : Planned Unit Development with an underlying Industrial Land
Use Base.
Purpose of Request: Applicants aze seeking a Special Conditional Use Permit for the
purpose of allowing them to fence the tract in question and use
it to pasture livestock.
• Bac ound: Although it is not related to this request, there is an issue that
may be raised in public hearing. This issue is the possible
expansion of the Southern Pacific railyazd facility. To avoid
possible misunderstandings, staff would like to make the
following points:
Although the property in question is owned by
Southern Pacific, the company is not directly
involved in this request.
This request in no way deals with any expansion
or modification of the existing railyazd facility.
The only issue at question is the use of the
subject tract as pasture for livestock.
Exhibit B illustrates zoning designations in the La
Porte Terrace/Southern Pacific Railyard vicinity.
Please note, the P.U.D. District that surrounds
the subdivision was created to provide the best
possible zoning management tool for protection
of the La Porte Terrace Subdivision.

Southern Pacific has filed a "General Plan" with
the City of La Porte. This plan details the
company's development plans for its La Porte
property. The City, through the Planning and
Zoning Commission, has granted conditional
approval to this plan. As illustrated on Exhibit B,
industrial designations have been assigned to the
western portion of the company's property. Once
the conditions imposed by the City of La Porte
have been satisfied, the industrially zoned
portions of the tract may be developed in
accordance with the General Plan. No
development of any type can take place within
the boundaries of the P.U.D. zone unless it is
first approved by the City. The review/approval
process, as with this request, will take place in
public hearing and open public meetings
-conducted by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council.
As noted in the caption section of this report, the applicants
wish to fence and run livestock on the property in question.
Also, as noted, the tract in question is located in a P.U.D. zone.
The terms of Zoning Ordinance 1501 (Section 8-100) require
that a Special Conditional Use (S.C.U.) Permit be granted by
the City prior to any development or utilization of property
located in a P.U.D. zone.
In addition to specific requirements and guidelines established
by ordinance, there are several concerns peculiar to this tract
that must be considered. These are as follows:
Portions of the tract abut two faces of the La
Porte Terrace Subdivision. This potentially
places livestock in close proximity to several
homes.
• Based on current plans, the State Highway
Department proposes to acquire a strip of this
property to accommodate construction of the
i Highway 146/Highway 225 interchange -Fred
Hartman Bridge approach.

• Portions of this tract are crossed by dedicated
City rights-of--way.
• This property is crossed by an easement
containing a Harris County Flood Control
. drainage channel. This channel is scheduled to
be widened as part of the F-101 drainage
improvement program.
• H.L. & P. facilities are located in the "H" Street
r-o-w which crosses this property.
Analysis: Large property tracts in La Porte have historically been used to
pasture livestock. This practice is still common in certain areas
of the City. The City recognizes this as a valid property use
and, therefore, has not sought to eliminate the practice. The
City also recognizes, however, the conflict and problems that
can arise when agricultural activities are carried out in close
• ~ proximity to residential and commercial developments.
With these factors in mind, the City, through Zoning Ordinance
1501, established requirements for pasturing and housing
livestock. These requirements are based on sound property
management practices. They are also designed to provide
adequate buffering between agricultural and non-agricultural
property uses.
These rules are found in the Ordinance's accessory use section.
They were placed there simply because, within the City,
pasturing of livestock is most commonly done as an accessory
use on large lot residential homesites. However, since these
rules will result in good property management, staff would
recommend that they be applied in conjunction with this
request. The requirements are as follows:
Pasture fencing must be set back at least 25 feet
from any property line that does not abut pasture.
Livestock must be limited to a maximum
concentration of two animals per acre. Note:
This requirement is based on recommendations
and guidelines provided by the State's
•
Planning & Zoning Commission
Meeting of 9/29/94
SCU94-001
Page 4.of 9
Agricultural Extension Service. However, the
State's recommendations assume healthy pasture.
As will be discussed in a subsequent portion of
this report, present property conditions may
warrant lower animal concentrations.
• Types of animals are limited to conventional
livestock (cattle, sheep, horses, etc.).
• Pasture area must be maintained in good
condition. It cannot be allowed to become a
public nuisance because of excessive weeds,
debris or unsanitary conditions. This is also
regulated by the City's public nuisance ordinance
(# 1358).
Additionally, Ordinance Section 8-400 and 10-100 establish
regulations for P.U.D. developments. Staff has reviewed the
• criteria established by these sections. Checklists detailing
P.U.D. requirements are attached to this report and identified
as Exhibits C and D. Most of these regulations are not
applicable to requests such as this one. There are, however,
certain requirements that must be observed. These are detailed
below.
Protection of nrivacv and value of surroundins residential uses:
As illustrated in Exhibit A, portions of the subject tract abuts
North 14th Street and North "H" Street (Fair Lane) at the
perimeter of the La Porte Terrace Subdivision. There are also
homes located south of the Barbour's Cut Blvd. face of the
property. Each of these rights-of--way are 80 feet wide. By
imposing the 25 foot fencing setback, pasture area would be
held 105 feet from any residential property line. Staff would
recommend that as a permit condition, it be made the
responsibility of the applicants to mow and maintain the 25 foot
buffer (and abutting unpaved right-of--way) in a manner that is
compatible with a residential subdivision.
Water location is another factor to be considered. Rather than
dig a pond for water, the applicants intend to use City service.
The applicant, at the Commission's September 15 hearing,
stated that water is to be brought to the property from the
• •
Planning & Zoning Commission
Meeting of 9/29/94
SCU94-001
Page S~of 9
water main located in the 16th Street right-of--way. As animals
tend to congregate near water, the applicants should, as a
permit condition, be required to locate water troughs only along
the western face of the tract. Additionally, since water service
lines will cross property not covered by the applicant's lease, a
letter (or other instrument deemed acceptable by the City
Attorney's office) should be obtained from Southern Pacific.
The purpose of the letter would be to grant formal permission
for the service line(s) to be installed and maintained for the
duration of the applicant's lease.
Access onto public rights-of--way should not create con eg stion
and should be adequate for residents and the general public:
While this activity will generate a minimal level of traffic, the
movement of stock trailers and the loading and unloading of
animals could be disruptive to a neighborhood. Staff would
recommend that as a permit condition, no access be allowed on
. the developed portions of the 13th and "H" Street rights-of--way
and that all gates be sited at least 100 feet away from
residential homesites. Driveways, complying with Zoning
Ordinance requirements, should be installed between developed
streets and any gates.
Another issue regarding access is the ability of H.L.& P. and
Hams County to access the property. A portion of the "H"
Street right-of--way is occupied by H.L.& P. "highline" towers.
These towers and lines must be periodically accessed for
inspection, maintenance, etc... H.L.& P. crews must be
guaranteed the ability to access the property on an as needed
basis. To prevent any access problems, the applicants should be
required to obtain a letter from H.L.& P. stating that access
arrangements are adequate and satisfactory.
Also to be considered is the Hams County drainage channel
that occupies the "L" Street right-of--way. The existing channel
is scheduled to be enlarged as part of the County's F-101
drainage improvement program.
At the County's request, the City has, by Council resolution,
restricted construction on land to be involved in the F-101
• project. Exhibit A illustrates the area to be impacted by F-101.
This area must remain open and unimpeded. It cannot be
• •
Planning & Zoning Commission
Meeting of 9/29/94
SCU94-001
Page 6~of 9
fenced and no new structures can be built within this area.
Right-of--way: The use of public rights-of--way must also be
considered. The 12th Street and "J" Street rights-of--way run
through this property. Portions, but not all of these rights-of-
way have been closed. As part of the Southern Pacific General
Plan review process, the City had agreed in principle, to close,
abandon, and deed to Southern Pacific, certain portions of the
remaining rights-of--way that cross this property, provided that,
in return, Southern Pacific deeded to the City, property needed
to facilitate F-101 and other street and drainage improvement
projects. As of this date, however, the streets have not yet been
closed and the City has not given consent for the rights-of--way
~to be fenced or leased. Additionally, it should be noted that it
is the responsibility of Southern Pacific, the actual property
owner, to petition City Council regarding this issue.
. Until such time that this issue is resolved, dedicated rights-of-
• way that extend into this tract must remain open and
unobstructed. Further, in staff's opinion, any request by
Southern Pacific should be in the form of a detailed plan that
will preserve the City's control of these rights-of--way.
Highway 146 Widening: Another right-of--way issue is the
widening of Highway 146. The highway is to be widened
slightly in the vicinity of the "L" Street right-of--way. 'T'his will
be done in conjunction with the final construction phases of the
Fred Hartman Bridge approach/Hwys. 146-225 interchange.
The State Highway Department has provided right-of--way
acquisition plans to the City. Fencing along the Highway 146
face of the property should follow the lines established on the
right-of--way map. This will prevent the Highway Department
and the City of La Porte from having to pay to remove and
relocate fencing. Under State guidelines, 10% of this cost
would be borne by the City. It will also lessen the possibility of
accidental livestock release during road construction.
Livestock Concentrations: The next issue to consider is
livestock concentration. As noted earlier, both staff and the
applicant agree that because of the condition of this property,
it will not support a two animal per acre concentration. Based
on the applicant's testimony regarding the condition of this
• •
Planning & Zoning Commission
Meeting of 9/29/94
SCU94-001
Page 7' of 9
pasture, staff would recommend granting a maximum
concentration of one animal for each one and three quarter
(1.75) acres. Animal concentrations could be increased after
property conditions are improved. This would be done by
means of a subsequent Special Conditional Use Permit. This
will be discussed in a following report section.
The applicant's lease is for an 87 acre tract. However, if the
recommended conditions are applied to this permit, this figure
will be somewhat reduced. Additionally, because of these
conditions, the tract will likely have to be fenced into two or
more separate pasture areas.
Maximum concentration should be based on actual area of each
fenced pasture. Additionally, animal concentrations should not
be exceeded within any individual pasture.
The applicant, in his testimony, indicated that it may be
• necessary to erect windbreaks to provide protection from winter
weather. Staff would recommend that windbreaks be located
no closer than 1,000 feet from residential properties. Specific
location and means of construction would be subject to
approval by the Director of Planning.
Permit Duration: The final issue to consider is duration of
-permit. Staff would recommend limiting this initial permit to
a one year duration. At the end of the year the applicant
would apply for a new Special Conditional Use Permit. The
decision to grant or deny would be based on the initial year's
performance. As mentioned earlier, this would also provide a
means for allowing increased animal concentration should
performance and property conditions warrant.
It should be noted that the applicant's lease is continuous but
subject to termination by either party after short term notice.
At such time as the lease is allowed to lapse or is terminated,
the Conditional Use Permit should be terminated and livestock
removed from the property.

Conclusion: In summary, staff feels the use of property as pasture can be
done in a way that will not be detrimental to the adjacent
neighborhood or, the City as a whole if adequate property
controls are instituted. Stafii therefore recommends granting
Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU94-001 subject to the
following conditions:
Fencing adjacent to Barbour's Cut Blvd., North
13th Street and North "H" Street (Fair Lane)
shall be setback at least 25 feet from property
lines.
Fencing adjacent to Highway 146 shall be erected
along the proposed right-of--way lines established
by the State Highway Department.
• There shall be no access from the developed
portions of the "H" Street and 13th Street rights-
. of-way. Additionally, gates shall be located at
least 100 feet away from residential homesites.
Final locations shall be subject to approval by the
Director of Planning.
Driveways, conforming to City requirements shall
be installed between gates and adjacent
developed roads.
Water troughs shall be located as near as possible
to western property boundaries. Final locations
shall be subject to approval by the Director of
Planning.
Applicant shall secure written permission from
Southern Pacific allowing water service lines to
cross any property not covered by the applicant's
lease. Permission must remain in effect for
duration of the applicant's lease. A copy of the
permission letter shall be submitted to the City
for attachment to the applicant's Conditional Use
Permit.

• The 25 foot buffer areas adjacent to Bazbour's
Cut, 13th Street, "H" Street, and the adjacent
undeveloped right-of--way shall be maintained by
the applicant. They shall be mowed a minimum
of once each 30 days.
• Dedicated rights-of--way shall remain unfenced
and unobstructed.
• Property designated for use in the F-101 drainage
project shall remain unfenced and unobstructed.
• Applicants shall, prior to erection of fencing,
submit to the Director of Planning, a letter from
Houston Lighting and Power Company stating
that azrangements for access to the property aze
adequate and satisfactory. As an alternative, the
"H" Street right-of--way can remain unfenced and
• unobstructed.
• Animal concentration shall not exceed one (1)
animal per each 1.75 acres of pasture area. This
concentration limit shall apply to each sepazately
fenced pasture.
This permit shall be valid for a period of one (1)
yeaz from date of Council approval. At the end
of this period, the applicant shall apply for a new
Special Conditional Use Permit.
At such time as the applicant's lease with
Southern Pacific is allowed to lapse, or is
terminated by either party, this Special
Conditional Use Permit will become void and all
livestock must be removed from this tract.

Requested For: An 11.79 acre tract out of the William P. Hams Survey,
Abstract 30, which is further described as being located in the
800 block of McCabe Road. (See Exhibit A)
Requested BX: Bradley Womack and Melanie K. Liska of Rescue Concepts,
Inc. acting on authority of the Ruth E. McClain Est., property
owner.
Zonin Planned Unit Development(P.U.D.) with an underlying land use
designation of Low Density Residential. (See Exhibits A & B)
Purpose of Request: The applicants are proposing a Commercial P.U.D. to be
utilized as an emergency response education facility and
. company office.
Background: Rescue Concepts is a company that specializes in training
municipal and industrial response teams . Response teams are
• ~ ,the teams that are called on to assist in various types of
emergency situations; fire, weather, environmental, etc.
Instruction is to be provided through a combination of
classroom instruction and mock up demonstrations. Exhibit C
is the preliminary development site plan submitted by Rescue
Concepts. Exhibit D, which is attached and follows this report,
outlines the company's development plan.
As noted, the tract in question is zoned Planned Unit
Development with an underlying Residential Land Use
designation. Additionally, the proposed development itself is
referred to as a Planned Unit Development. The zoning and
development designations are related as follows:
A Planned Unit Development zoning designation mandates a
specific review and approval process; review and public
hearing(s) performed by the Planning and Zoning Commission
followed by review and public hearing by City Council. This
process is designed and intended on one hand to provide
developers greater flexibility in design and use of a site. On the
other hand, it provides the City the ability to mandate design
. criteria and property controls deemed necessary to adequately
protect surrounding properties.
• •
• Planning & Zoning Commission
Meeting of 9/29/94
SCU94-002
Page 2 of 2
The additional flexibility and design control provided by this
process is intended to result in developments that can
comfortably co-exist with and enhance surrounding properties.
This is why it can be possible for a commercial P.U.D. to be
placed in proximity to residential development without
conflicting with the Comprehensive Plan.
Plan Unit Development is also used as the term to describe any
development that undergoes the development described above.
Analysis & Conclusion: Zoning Ordinance 1501 establishes a number of specific
development requirements and standards. Staff has reviewed
this request using these requirements as a guide. A checklist,
detailing ordinance requirements and staff s findings is attached
and follows this report. It is identified as Exhibit E.
Staff, based on the applicant's preliminary submittal, finds that
this development can be developed in accordance with the
• requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the goals. It should
be noted, however, that this is a first submittal only and that the
Commission and in turn, City Council, will have to review
additional documentation. For this reason staff, at this time,
will not make a recommendation regarding this project.

~ RESCUE Rescue Concepts Inc.
CONCEPTS
/NC. Educational Center
Developmental Plan
Proposed Location: 11.74 acres on McCabe Road (South), approximately 1/4 mile
north on McCabe Road from Old Highway 146
General Concept:
This parcel of land will be developed in 6 stages over a period of 6 years. The
object of the Center is to provide a natural and aesthetically relaxing atmosphere
conducive to learning and educational growth. The Center will have six or more
projects with classrooms as well as an instructional theater and conference building.
When the Center's developmental plan is complete there will be 8 to 11 buildings on
site. At least six of these buildings will be classrooms estimated to be
approximately 400 square feet. The main building will house the administrative
staff and equipment sales. This center is being constructed to serve as the most
• advanced training center for emergency response in the United States. The center
will serve as a training ground primarily for municipal and industrial response teams.
There will not be any projects which involve any type of burning. This is a clean air
project and will not affect the quality of air in the City of La Porte.
Overall Perimeter Phase:
The natural tree line will be initially thinned to clean out any dead trees and brush to
promote new growth. Within the fifty foot easement area, a fence will be erected
within 12 months of purchase of the property. The surrounding community and land
owners should be unable to view this due to the natural restoration of the forest
which currently .surrounds the entire property. The fence will ensure that all visitors
to the site do not wander beyond the property and also to ensure the safety of other
landowners and their families. A berm will be raised along the property line
adjacent to the sub-division to create a natural sound barrier, this should ensure that
other landowners and their families are not disturbed and also provide a quieter
atmosphere for our students.

• •
Phase One:
Phase One will be the erection of the main administrative building and it's parking
lot and will include a fifty foot area around the building. From McCabe Road
visitors will enter at the south east end of the property. The main building should
barely be visible to the community. The building will be approximately 150 feet off
the main road, the parking lot will be to one side of the building. The parking lot
will hold a minimum of 10 automobiles and be approximately 50' x 60'. The
administrative building will be a two story building (at this time we are reviewing
plans to possibly construct a custom log building). Groundbreaking will commence
within four months of purchase of the property and completion of phase one will be
within 14 months of the purchase date.
Phase Two:
Within 12 months of the completion of the main building, construction of a portion
of the lake will begin. Dirt from this construction will be used to raise buildings and
projects above the flood plan. This will also provide the necessary dirt for the
construction of the berm.
Phase Three:
Phase three will begin within 12 months of the completion of the main building and
completed within one yeaz. Phase three is the construction of the training tower,
this will be the tallest structure at 75 feet above the flood plan. The location of the
tower will be near the center of the property. This should reduce the visibility of the
tower by the community. It should be concealed by the natural heighth of the trees
located throughout the property. The trees will best serve their two-fold purpose
here by obscuring any noise, giving shade and providing a more relaxing atmosphere
for students.
Phase Four:
Phase four will begin within 18 months of the completion of the main building and
completed within two yeazs. These phases aze the erection of 6 (approximately 400
square feet) classrooms with training projects next to them. Training projects are
mockups of different types of responses which a responder may come across. Each
• project site will be approximately 1600 sq. ft.
~CHi~~f D
• •
Phase Five:
Phase Five is the completion stage for the lake area. The lake azea is estimated to
take two yeazs for completion. When complete this phase will include the following:
a training platform on the water, a variety of different projects involving water
rescue, and landscaping of the surrounding shoreline.
Phase Six:
Construction on the conference and maintenance building will begin within five
yeazs of purchase of properly. This structure will provide conference rooms for a
variety of national seminazs along with a maintenance shop and offices.
The type of construction for all buildings on the property will be the same. The
easement area of the property will be left as natural as possible and trees/brush will
be supplemented when natural growth will not suffice. All improved property will
be maintained on a regulaz basis. It is our intent to provide the City of La Porte with
a training center which will reflect positively on community as will as the city.
