Nilvarni LP for a Special Conditional Use Permit to allow for a Hotel/Motel Use to be
constructed on the 2.28 acre tract of land aforementioned. Accessibility to the property as it
currently sits was a concern from staff in regards to this request. Coupled with the high
number of pre-existing hotels in the area, staff was unable to recommend approval of the
SCUP for the Hotel/Motel Use. Staff also recommended amenities if the commission were to
approve the SCUP.
Applicant Presentation: Dimpel Patel, owner and proprietor, approaches the commission
with the history of similar business ventures (hotels/motels) that have been previously
developed in the area. Also went into detail of how the area chosen for this use is idea

high number of extended stay hotels in the City that sidestep the hotel/motel tax from less
than 30 day occupancy. Mr. Weeks also divulged the commission with a preliminary
breakdown of our budget in relation to Hotel/Motel tax projections. Commissioner Smith
asked what deterrents can be done by staff to prevent commercial truck parking.

of K Street for access) to be able to even facilitate this use. After presenting that the

Staff Report
ISSUE
Should the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of a change in zoning
from Large Lot Residential (LLD) to Low Density Residential (R-1) zoning district; on a
1.00 acre tract of land located at 10410 N. L St., and legally described as Tract 441C, La
Porte Outlots Subdivision?
DISCUSSION
Location:
The subject site is located at 10410 N. L St.
Background Information:
The property is currently partially developed with a single family home. The home is
located on the eastern edge of the 1.00 acre parcel. The owner would like to gift a half
acre of his lot to his daughter allowing her to construct a new home. In order for the
property to be legally split into two half acre lots, a zone change is required. The
current zoning district, LLD, requires a minimum lot area of 1 acre. The current city code
does not permit more than 1 primary dwelling on a single lot, thus requiring the legal
subdivision of the lot.
The attached Exhibit B shows the zoning of the subject property and surrounding
properties. The following table summarizes the surrounding zoning and land uses:
Zoning Land Use
bƚƩƷŷ LLD, Large Lot Residential Single Family Residential
{ƚǒƷŷ LLD, Large Lot Residential Undeveloped

The site is currently identified as Large Lot Residential in the Future Land Use Map. As a
amended to identify this site as Low Density Residential.

Zone Change #18-92000009
Notification Requirements:
Staff finds that the public hearing notification requirements outlined in Section 106-171
were performed in accordance with code provisions, including the following: notice in a
newspaper of general circulation at least 15 days prior to the hearing; written notice
mailed to owners of real property within 200 feet of the site within 1 days of the
hearing and in this case notice was sent to all property owners and residents within the
rezoning area; 1 sign was posted on the subject property within 1 days of the hearing.
In accordance with state law, notice of the public hearing was also posted at City Hall
Analysis:
There are a number of different considerations staff evaluated during the review of this
application. The f
1.Land Use. Staff finds that low density residential is a good fit for the existing site.
The current size and configuration would not easily permit more than 2 half acre
lots. This would still preserve the character of the Lomax area and would still be
larger than the R-1 lots directly adjacent to the west.
2.Access. There is sufficient existing right-of-way access along N. L St.
3.Utilities. Water and sewer services are available along N. L St.
considered prior to making land use decisions. The following table breaks down each
Criterion: Staff Findings:
Ability of infrastructure to support the Existing infrastructure in the area is sufficient to support the

for administrative offices/equipment rental operations, to locate on a 7.00 acre tract of
land legally described as +/- 7 Acres out of 133.93 Acre Tract in the R Pearsall Survey A-

DISCUSSION
Location:
The subject site is located on the south side of Spencer Hwy. across form the City of La
Porte Police Station.
Background Information:
The property is currently undeveloped and is part of a larger 134 acre undeveloped
tract. The site was previously owned by PPG and is currently zoned Planned Unit
Development (PUD). Atlas Copco Rental would like to purchase the property and
develop it for a new headquarters. The applicant currently operates out of a facility in
Deer Park. They would like to relocate to this site, allowing them to continue to grow
their business.
The newly proposed facility would include a 32,400 square foot building which would
be a combination of Office (16,800 sf.), Workshop (10,800sf.), and Storage for parts
(4,800 sf.). Additionally, there will be a storage yard for rental equipment to the south
with a 2,400 sf wash and test building. The wash building and storage yard will be
screened from view of Spencer by the proposed office/workshop building.
The attached Exhibit B shows the zoning of the subject property and surrounding
properties. The following table summarizes the surrounding zoning and land uses:

Notification Requirements:
Staff finds that the public hearing notification requirements outlined in Section 106-171
were performed in accordance with code provisions, including the following: notice in a
newspaper of general circulation at least 15 days prior to the hearing; written notice
mailed to owners of real property within 200 feet of the site within 10 days of the
hearing and in this case notice was sent to all property owners and residents within the
rezoning area; 4 signs were posted in the area of the rezoning within 15 days of the
hearing. In accordance with state law, notice of the public hearing was also posted at
Analysis:
There are a number of different considerations staff evaluated during the review of this
application. The
1.Land Use. The proposed equipment rental use is a good fit for the proposed
location. Use is not anticipated to have significant traffic impacts on the area and
could act as a transitional use to the existing GC zoned property to the west
along Spencer.
2.Access. The proposed site has direct frontage on Spencer Hwy.
3.Utilities. Water services are located adjacent to the proposed site, to the south.

To Whom It May Concern;
During the 3 years I have been part of this property and also a member of
the La Porte community, I have witness the need for an Extended Stay
Hotel.
Staybridge is a National Chain, well recognized for their amenities and
service, this brand caters to those travelers seeking a place to settle down
for their new assignment without having to enter into any home or
apartment lease.
Based on my professional experience, Staybridge will be an asset to the city
of La Porte, attracting more travelers to stay in this area instead of going
to Pasadena and other surrounding areas.
I remain at your service;
