Carlos Smith, engineer, in regard to plans for developing new sections of Fairmont Park. We recommend approval of preliminary plans for Fairmont Park, West, Section V, and for Fairmont Park East, both subject to approval by City Inspector and City Engineer. Since the entire area came into the City of La Porte under the provision of single-family zoning for all annexed areas, these new sections are presently zoned R-1. The developer requested zoning some peripheral areas to accommodate multi -family or commercial buildings. A great deal of planning is evident in the selection of the proposed areas, and it seems that the overall plan fits in with the general feelings expressed by members of the City Commission and the Planning & Zoning Commission concerning the placing of commercial structures and multi- family dwellings on peripheral zones of subdivisions. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommends zoning to Commercial those parcels of land from Fairmont Park, West, Section V, west to Underwood and south to Fairmont Parkway. Likewise, those parcels of land from Fairmont Park East, south to Fairmont Parkway, north to Spencer Highway, and east to the property line. Respectfully, Pat Muston''�/ • LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING In accordance with the provisions of Ordinance No. 780, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of La Porte, notice is hereby given that a joint public hearing before the City Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of La Porte, Texas, will be held on November 28, 1979, at 7:00 P.M., to consider rezoning the following properties from Residential to "C" Apartment and Commercial: DESCRIP T I ON OF SEVERAL TPACi'S OUT OF TIIE W .
