Applicant Information
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Applicant, Jeff Davis, is seeking approval of an amendment to the existing Special Conditional
Use Permit (SCUP) to allow for the redevelopment of the existing pre-check truck facility. The
specific tract is located at 900 E. Barbours Cut Blvd. and is legally described as Reserve A,
Block 1, Port of Houston Authority.
The property is owned and operated by the Port Authority of Houston and houses one of their
pre-check trucking facilities. The site is operating under an existing SCUP which was approved
in 2003. The current SCUP was amended in October of 2017 to allow for extended hours of
operation. This was due to an increase in traffic at the port and thus, an increase in trucks being
processed through the pre-check facility.
The new request is to amend six (6) of the original thirteen (13) conditions in order to facilitate
a proposed redevelopment and expansion of the current pre-check truck facility. The
amendments are as follows:
Condition #3 - "Comply with the General Plan approved be the City."
The Port Authority requests that Permit Condition No. 3 be amended to reflect an
amended General Plan approved by the City, which reflects the updated Site Plan (See
Exhibit D).
Condition #4 -"Ensure that at least 30 percent of the property consists of landscaping and/ or
screening."
The Port Authority requests that Permit Condition No. 4 be amended to add "landscaped
ponds (either dry or wet) with native grasses at completion of the project" to the 30%
requirement.
Condition # 5 - "Provide detailed landscape and screening plans during site plan submittal.
Allow existing trees and shrubs to remain as natural buffer. Provide "in fill" planting of trees and
shrubs."
The Port Authority requests that the second and last sentences of Permit Condition No.
5 be amended to read as follows: "Allow existing trees and shrubs exterior to the sound
wall to remain as a natural buffer. Provide "in fill" ponds with native grasses and planting
of drought-tolerant trees along the boulevard R.O.W., which provides for one year of
established watering."
Condition #6 - "Provide an irrigation system to ensure that all landscaping and careening is
properly maintained by the owner/ developer."
The Port Authority requests that Permit Condition No. 6 be deleted, as irrigation is not
needed for native grass and drought tolerant trees per La Porte Zoning Ordinances.
Condition # 7 - "Adhere to the provisions and details shown in facilities lighting plan. Ensure
that all illumination occurs on site and does not affect nearby residences."
The Port Authority requests that the Permit Condition No. 7 be revised to delete the
current text and replace it with, "The revised lighting plan shall adhere to the
requirements of applicable City Ordinances."
Condition #8 - "Enhance the building facade so that it is architecturally and aesthetically
pleasing. The Planning and Zoning Commission must approve the design."
Since there is only a small electrical and IT building proposed in the new design, the
Port Authority requests that Permit Condition No. 8 be replace it with, "The Planning
and Zoning Commission must approve the design of the new building and canopies".
Notices of the Public Hearing, along with comment sheets, were sent to all property owners
Staff did not receive any returned comment sheets for the
proposed SCUP.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their June 20, 2019 regular meeting, voted 7-0 to
recommend approval of the proposed SCUP, as presented with no additional conditions.
Proposed SCUP (Exhibit A) is attached.
Any substantive modifications to this Special Conditional Use Permit will require an amendment
t.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
conjunction with a request by Justin Bennett of Phelan-Bennett Development,
applicant, on behalf of Carrington F. Weems owner, who is seeking approval of a
Zone Change from the General Commercial (GC) zoning district to the Planned Unit
Development (PUD) zoning district. The proposed zone change would allow for the
development of an industrial office/warehouse building on the site. The property in
th
question is located at the NE corner of S. 16 St. and the W. M St. ROW, and is
legally described as Lots 1-32, Block 1144 and Lots 1-32, Block 1143, La Porte

The requested item was previously heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission on
March 21, 2019 where it was recommended for approval on a 9-0 vote. The City
Council heard the item at their May 13, 2019 meeting where a motion to deny the item
was upheld by a vote of 5-4.
This request is in conjunction with a request for a Special Conditional Use Permit
(SCUP) to allow for the construction of a 109,000 square foot industrial facility. The
applicant failed to gain approval of the previous SCUP request and has since
resubmitted with minor changes. These changes would limit the building size to no
greater than 109,000 square feet, limit the total number of bay doors to 9 and limit the
truck maneuverability on site.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their June 20, 2019 regular meeting, voted
4-3 to recommend approval of the proposed Future Land Use Amendment.
ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL

Applicant Information
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Justin E. Bennet of Phelan-Bennett Development, applicant, on behalf of Carrington
F. Weems, owner seeks approval of a Zone Change from the General Commercial
(GC) zoning district to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning district. The
th
subject property is located at the NE corner of S. 16 St. and the W. M St. right of
way (ROW) and is legally described as Lots 1-32, Block 1144 and Lots 17-32 &
Tracts 1-16, Block 1143, La Porte Subdivision.
The 5.051 acre property is currently undeveloped. The applicant requests a zone
change to PUD with a Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP), allowing for
construction of a single 109,000 square foot office/warehouse industrial building. If
approved, the applicant will apply for a street/alley closure for the remaining city ROW
th
(15 St. and 2 alleys).
The requested item was previously heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission on
March 21, 2019 where it was recommended for approval on a 9-0 vote. The City
Council heard the item at their May 13, 2019 meeting where a motion to deny the item
was upheld by a vote of 5-4.
This request is in conjunction with a request for a Special Conditional Use Permit
(SCUP) to allow for the construction of a 109,000 square foot industrial facility. The
applicant failed to gain approval of the previous SCUP request and has since
resubmitted with minor changes. These changes would limit the building size to no
greater than 109,000 square feet, limit the total number of bay doors to 9 and limit the
truck maneuverability on site.
Staff mailed public notice to all property owners located within 200 feet of the subject
property and received one (1) comment sheet in opposition of the proposed request.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their June 20, 2019 regular meeting, voted
4-3 to recommend approval of the proposed Zone Change.
ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL
1.Conduct public hearing.
2.Consider action on a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission to
approve an Ordinance for zone change request #19-92000002, for a 5.051 acre

Proposed Ordinance 2019-3753
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
On April 5, 2019,
a Statement of Intent and Application for Authority to Change Rates
within the City of La Porte requesting a rate increase, riders, and tariff changes. The
Application was filed with each municipality exercising original jurisdiction over
which $186.6 million will be collected from retail customers. In addition, CenterPoint is
proposing through a separate Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) Rider, to return
approximately $97 million to customers over a three-year period. After the three-year
period, the TCJA Rider expires.
The City of La Porte, as a local regulatory authority, exercises original jurisdiction over
the rates, operations and services of CenterPoint for customers located within the City
Texas Utilities Code. The new rates would affect rates, operations or services for
CenterPoint retail customers within the City.
PURA Sections 36.102 and 36.108 provide that the new rates take effect on the thirty-
th
fifth (35) day of filing. Additionally, PURA Section 36.108 provides that a local
regulatory authority may suspend the operation of the Application for ninety (90) days
beyond the date the new rates would otherwise be effective. PURA Section 36.109
provides that unless the local regulatory authority establishes interim rates, the rates in
effect at the time the Application is filed remain in effect during the suspension period.
The average residential customer using 1,000 kWh per month would experience an
approximate 1.91% increase $2.50 per month for the first three years, assuming an
existing retail rate of $0.125 per kWh.Please note that the residential rate above is
TCJA Rider expires in three years.
On May 10, 2019, the City Council approved an Ordinance suspending the electric rate
adjustments for 90 days to allow further analysis of the proposed new rates. On May
13, 2019, the City Council approved a resolution to participate in the Coalition of Cities
to assist in the analysis of the proposed rate increases of CenterPoint Energy Houston
Electric, LLC. On June 6, 2019, the Houston Coalition experts filed testimony with the
Public Utility Commission related to these requested rate increases. Rebuttal testimony
was filed with the Commission on June 19, 2019. On June 24-27 a Hearing on the
Merits for this case was held before the State Office of Administrative Hearing (SOAH)
administrative law judges. Houston Coalition legal and exerts participated and
presented testimony in the Hearings on behalf of the Coalition of Cities.
The Coalition of Cities have recommended to the City of La Porte to conduct a public
hearing to receive input from residents and/or CenterPoint Energy as it relates to the
proposed new rate increases. At this time, the expert utility rate consultants retained to
CenterPoint has not yet demonstrated through its application and testimony that its new
rates are just and reasonable, non-discriminatory and in compliance with all applicable
laws. Therefore, the Coalition of Cities recommends, and staff concurs, that the City
Council adopt an oproposed rate increase and maintain
existing rates in effect for customers within our community.
ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL
Conduct a public hearing to hear from residents and/or CenterPoint Energy related to
the proposed rate increase.
Move to adopt Ordinance 2019-3753 denying rate adjustments proposed by
CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC for customers within the City of La Porte.

Dear Houston Coalition of City Members:
As a reminder, if CenterPoint filed its Statement of Intent and Application for Authority to Change Rates
(Application) with your city on April 5, 2019, the deadline for cities to adopt a rate ordinance approving,
modifying, or rejecting CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC’s (CenterPoint or Company) Application is
August 8, 2019. The Houston Coalition experts recommend that Coalition cities deny CenterPoint’s request
for a rate increase. Attached is a sample denial ordinance. The experts reviewed the filing and recommended
several adjustments which amount to a significant decrease to CenterPoint’s overall request.
On June 6, 2019, the Houston Coalition experts filed testimony with the Public Utility Commission (PUC or
Commission) in the concurrent proceeding at the Commission. Rebuttal testimony was filed with the
Commission on June 19, 2019. Combined with the adjustments recommended by the other city coalitions,
the cumulative recommendation is an overall reduction to the Company’s stated revenue requirement. Copies
of the testimony are available by visiting the PUC Filing Interchange at http://interchange.puc.texas.gov/ and
entering the control number 49421. On June 24 – June 27 a Hearing on the Merits for this case was held
before the State Office of Administrative Hearing (SOAH) administrative law judges (ALJs). Houston Coalition
legal and rate experts participated and presented testimony in the Hearing. Because of the truncated
timelines for the PUC proceeding, Coalition legal and rate experts worked diligently to finalize and submit the
required initial and reply post-hearing briefs due July 9, and July 16 2019.
The City of Houston will conduct a public hearing to consider the determination of just and reasonable rates
proposed by CenterPoint Energy to be observed in the City of Houston on July 17, 2019. Member cities can
also hold a hearing during one of their City Council meetings. On July 31, 2019, Houston staff will make a
recommendation to the Mayor and City Council that City Council approve an ordinance denying Centerpoint’s
proposed rate increase. It is recommended that the member cities of the Houston Coalition of Cities adopt a
similar ordinance denying CenterPoint’s proposed rate increase and maintaining existing rates in effect for
customers within their jurisdiction.
A conference call is scheduled for Thursday, July 18, 2019 at 10:30 am (Call-in Number: 1.866.574.2770
Conference Code: 5941750). More detailed information regarding the Coalition experts’ recommendations
will be provided during the call. If you have any questions, please contact Alisa Talley at 832.393.8531 or

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
Councilperson Garza provided an agenda request in writing for the following \[proposed
changes or additions are in red and underlined\],
This petition is intended to make it harder to operate a brothel under the guise of a legitimate
business by amending Ord. No. 2015-3598 Sec. 22-418 to convert the permit issued to a
conditional use permit. The original language of Ord. No. 2015-3598 Sec. 22-418 is listed
below, with amendments notated.
Ord. No. 2015-3598
Sec. 22-418. - Issuance of conditional massage business permits.
The director of planning and development shall issue a massage business permit within 30
days of receipt of the application unless he finds that:
(1) The correct permit fee has not been tendered to the city, and in the case of check or bank
draft, honored with payment upon presentation;
(2) The operation, as proposed by the applicant, if permitted, would not comply with all
applicable laws, including but not limited to the city's building, zoning and health regulations;
(3) The applicant, if an individual, or any of the stockholders holding more than ten percent of
the stock of the corporation, or any of the officers and directors, if the applicant is a corporation,
or any of the partners, including limited partners, if the applicant is a partnership, or the holder
of any lien of any nature on the business and/or equipment used therein; and the manager or
other person principally in charge of the operation and affairs of the business, or any
employees, have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or was
placed on deferred adjudication for such offense, unless such conviction occurred at least five
years prior to the date of the application;
(4) The applicant has knowingly made any false, misleading or fraudulent statements of fact in
the permit application or in any document required by the city in conjunction therewith;
(5) The applicant has had a massage business, masseur or other similar permit or license
denied, revoked or suspended by the city or any other state or local agency within five years
prior to the date of application;
(6) The applicant, if an individual, or any of the officers and directors if the applicant is a
corporation, or any of the partners, including limited partners, if the applicant is a partnership,
and the manager or other person principally in charge of the operation of the business, is not
over the age of 18 years.
(7) Before any permit shall be issued under this article by the director of planning and
development, the chief of police shall first sign his approval for the application.
Please reference Ord. No. 2019-xxxx Sec. xx-xxx for the conditions imposed on any business
applying for this permit.
Ord. No. 2019-xxxx
Sec. xx-xxx Conditions for Conditional Massage Business Permit
recommend changing the process of issuing massage business permits to require
been addressed in the revisions to the ordinance. By creating the requirement of a SCUP would
add up to three (3) additional months to the process, which would affect those business that
are operating in an ethical and legal manner.
Any permit issued under this section can be revoked at any time for violations including, but not
limited to the following:
(1) Failure to adhere to and meet all the requirements necessary to apply for the permit
initially.
Adding verbiage to Sec 22-418 to cover this.
(2) Failure to adhere to the following operational requirements:
a) A massage establishment may only operate between the hours of 8:00 A.M to 9:00 P.
M. each day. Leave existing hours in ordinance. It works for our other establishments.
b) Outside windows of a massage establishment shall be transparent and the view from
the outside into the lobby/waiting area shall be unobstructed. Added this to Sec. 22-
433(d)
c) All doors shall remain unlocked during normal business hours. Currently in our
ordinance. Sec. 22-433, clarified verbiage.
1) A place of business where a licensed massage therapist practices as a solo
practitioner in a manner consistent with the applicable provisions of Section 455. 155 of
the Texas Occupations Code, as amended, is exempt from this regulation. Staff and
Assistant City Attorney does not recommend; this change could also be a safety issue
with a therapist locked alone in the business with a customer should something go
wrong. Our current ordinance does not allow for solo practitioners to lock the door.
d) Signage which provides a hotline number for sex trafficking victims must be displayed.
Added to Sec. 22-438, but is already part of state inspection.
e) At no time shall a massage establishment provide a residence or dwelling to accompany
this occupancy. Currently in our ordinance. Sec. 22-432, clarified verbiage.
f) Licenses issued by the State for the establishment and the people working in it who are
required to have a State license must be displayed and easily viewable with the lobby
or waiting area. Permit required in Sec. 22-419, clarified verbiage; we cannot regulate
state licenses.
g) A peace officer appointed or employed by a law enforcement agency of this state, or a
licensed Code Enforcement Officer employed by the City, may enter without delay the
premises of a massage establishment pursuant to Sections 455. 104 and 455.353 of
the Texas Occupations Code.
1) If entry and access to the premises of the massage establishment is denied or
delayed, entry shall be made under authority of a warrant to inspect the massage
establishment. Currently in ordinance Sec. 22-433
h) All customer access to the business must occur at the business
door. Add to ordinance Sec. 22-433(c)
i) A massage establishment may not have an ATM located inside the business structure.
was prudent to try to regulate this, although a cash only business may be an indication
of illegal activity.
j) A massage establishment may not have a sign which is visible from the outside of the
building which flashes or changes colors. We discussed this and it would require a
change to the sign ordinance would adversely affect other businesses in the city.
Councilpersons Lunsford and Bentley are co-sponsors for the item.
ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL
Move to direct the City Manager and City Attorney to draft an ordinance amending Section
22.418 of Ordinance 2015-3598, concerning issuance of conditional massage business
permits.

Market Data
SUMMARY
In June of 2017 and later as part of the annual budget process, staff presented to Council, results from
a compensation and classification review. Recommended changes resulting from that review were
approved and effective on 10/01/2017.
In April of 2019, Council received presentations of salary studies conducted by the EMS and Fire
departments accompanied by recommendations to increase certain pay grades and salaries for EMS
and Fire staff by 20% and 25% respectively. Those approved changes went into effect on 6/1/2019.
On July 2, 2019, members of the La Porte Police Officers Association and City Management staff
participated in a Meet and Confer meeting to discuss compensation for covered employees. Both sides
agreed to approve the market study conducted earlier this year and the recommended increases to the
Civil Service Pay Scale. The total cost of the market based increases is just below the contractually
agreed to cap of 5%. Pending approval from the LPPOA membership, these changes will be presented
to Council for approval and will be effective 10/01/2019.
Staff has completed an updated salary survey for all other non-civil service positions on the general pay
grade structure. This includes positions in grades 8-44 and does not include positions that report directly
to Council. This survey includes benchmarked positions with responsive comparator cities supplemented
by a regional compensation survey conducted by the Houston Galveston Area Council in 2018. Results
of this survey indicate that the current City of La Porte pay structure for grades 8-44 is 5% lower than the
market.
It is recommended that pay ranges for grades 8-44 on the general pay structure be increased by 5%. To
avoid an increase in existing compression issues in these grades, it is also recommended that salaries
for employees in these ranges be increased a corresponding 5%, and the City continues to operate the
existing merit program.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Consider and discuss presentation from staff regarding a salary study and recommended adjustments
to the City of La Porte Position Classifications (pay grade structure)

Current Structure
We use a grade structure that employs a 40% spread around the midpoint. There is a 4% step between most grades with the exception being between grades 19 and 20.A grade may have multiple
jobs assigned to it.Not all grades have jobs assigned to them.We typically bring new hires in between the minimum and 10% above the minimum. That varies based on qualifications.

Market Data Refresh
On average, current La Porte midpoints are 5% below the market
Utilizing benchmarked positions, market data from comparator cities (Deer Park, Baytown, Friendswood, and League City) was updated. An additional regional survey (HGAC) was also utilized.
Midpoints from comparator cities and average midpoints from the HGAC survey were compared to current La Porte midpoints. Those position comparisons were then averaged to create grade
comparisons. Finally those data points were combined to create overall entity and a market comparison.

Recommendations
To remain competitive in attracting and retaining high caliber personnel, it is recommended that we increase ranges for all grades by 5%.In order to avoid exacerbating compression issues
within grades and to be consistent with recent adjustments to EMS and Fire, it is recommended that all employees in grades 8market adjustment. It is also recommended that we continue
to operate our performance evaluation and merit plan. This provides employees opportunity to move up through their grade range based on their performance.
