Mayor Meza stated this is a Joint Public Hearing held by
Planning and Zoning and the City Council to consider a request
by the Happy Harbor Methodist Home for the Aged to rezone
Bayview Block between Bellair and Parkway Streets from resi-
dential to commercial for the purpose of constructing addi-
tional housing for the elderly. He asked if the representative
from Happy Harbor would come forward to address the issue before
the public.
.
Mr. John Neel introduced himself as the person retained by
Happy Harbor to obtain a housing project for the elderly grant.
The project would be constructed on their property which you
have just described. We are at the point now of having obtained
from the local HUD office a loan to build that building. It is

a 51 unit housing for the elderly. To qualify to live in
this project you must be 62 years of age or older. You must
be either handicapped or have a permanent disability. Within
the building there are 5 units built specifically for handi-
capped people. There are 1 and 2 bedroom apartments. There
are fully contained apartments including kitchen, bedroom,
living room and bath. In order to live there they must be
self-sufficient people. It is not a nursing facility. It
is housing for the elderly. We wish to construct it under
a program known as 202, which is a program which HUD makes a
loan to non-profit corporations for constructing housing for
elderly people. This project is a 3 story building with
elevators, with community area on the ground floor, the balance
being apartments. It will be operated by the Happy Harbor
people as an apartment project for the elderly.
Meza: Who owns Happy Harbor?
Neel: The Methodist Foundation.
Meza: How long have they held that?
e
Neel: 18 years.
Neel: I would like to introduce Mr. Frank Carter, who is the
administrator of the present nursing home facilities which is
in existence on the property now.
Carter: Just a word to the Council. Happy Harbor originally
started in La Porte in 1948. It was given to the Methodist
Church in 1963. At the time it was given to the Church there
was a capacity of 64 people. Since the Methodist Church has
been operating the home it has grown to 140 people, which is
what we have got today. Our purpose in the operation of the
home is to care for elderly people. Our purpose for requesting
rezoning of the property is to further expand the facilities
of Happy Harbor to care for the elderly.
Charlie Spicer: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I am handling
the legal aspects of this program as it comes in. As you are
very familiar with the program as it has been in operation on
the property which is contiguous to this property. I am here
to answer any legal questions you may have in relationship to
the property.

Kibodeaux:

Mr. Carter, why does this building have to be built
Don't you have enough land to build it all one

Neel: The project is being built under HUD minimum property
standards. They only allow so much money for a project this
size. The project has been designed to meet the construc-
tion budget. In order to do that, 3 story is the most
economical and has less operating cost.
Kibodeaux: This will be a wooden structure?
Neel: A frame structure with brick veneer, 2-hour fire walls
and a sprinkler system.
Tomerlin: How much of your present land will be occupied by
this building?
Carter: About one-half.
Tomerlin: You will still have some park area?
Carter: Yes, sir.
Simons: Will the sprinkler system be throughout the building
or just in the halls?
Neel: In the hallways and community area.
Simons: You know the City don't have nothing to fight fires
above 3 stories.
Neel: The plans are with the City now and we have been working
with the City on that.
Simons: But we still don't have any equipment to fight fires
above 2 stories.
Askins: Mr. Spicer, has your group signed or will they have
to sign some kind of covenant or undertaking with the Federal
government, that if the Federal government loans this money
for this type of project that it will remain a non-profit
corporation project; you know, dedicated to this purpose for
a given length of time?
Spicer: That is correct. In addition to the deed of trust
which you are familiar with is the mortgage. This mortgage
contains some covenants and assumpts by the Happy Harbor group
that would not be in the usual commercial mortgage. In addi-
tion to this, the group will sign what we call a regulatory
e
e
.
Minutes, Joint Public Hearing and Regular Meeting

agreement. Which regulates the use of the property through-
out the time of the loan and it's a 40 year loan. The group
will not be able to sell this project to anyone else. If
they should have a desire to, and to my knowledge they have
no such desire, but should they they cannot sell without the
consent of the Federal Housing Commission. The use of the
property is bound to the same use we go into; that is housing
for the elderly and the handicapped. It can be put to no
other use. The regulator agreement runs with the terms of the
deed of trust, and in a sense is an extension of the deed of
trust.
Meza: Are there any further questions from the Council?
Muston: Which portion of the property will this be built on?
Carter: It's on the lower end of the property near Park Street.
Meza: We will now hear from the public. Is there anyone here
speaking for the project?
.
.
Chris Gilbert: I am a property owner here in La Porte, a tax
payer. I am here in opposition to the rezoning of this property
from residential to commercial. My reason for being against
it is that I won 13 single family residences within 200 feet of
the proposed project. The preliminary evaluation of a prof-
fessional appraiser has been such that if the proposed project
is built, then I stand to lose in the devaluation of my prop-
erty of each home approximately 5 percent, which would mean
about a $30,000.00 devaluation of my property. I would have
a complete study and back up for that, but it would take about
a week and a cost of some $1,500.00 to back that up, but I am
prepared to offer that to the City Council. My profession is
that of an investor, including real estate. I own single
family residences around the City of La Porte and other areas
in Texas. The issues here heeds to be separated in that the
proposed project itself, that of a home for the elderly and
handicapped. I think it is needed. I applaud the effort of
the expansion of the facilities for this purpose. I think
that issue is one issue. The other issue is that of the re-
zoning of a residential tract of land to commercial use. I do
feel there are other sites in the City of La Porte for addi-
tional homes for the elderly and the handicapped. I think
there are commercial sites already zoned within the City for
high density use; it would be of benefit for this type of project.
They could be closer to shopping or whatever. I know there would
be some economy of scale for the two being together, but I feel
this isn't the only site that is available. The reasons I am
e

against the rezoning from residential to commercial use.
There is no guarantee that the use of the property will stay
the same. Let me explain myself. I have been involved in
HUD projects. I have not been involved in the 202 project,
I have been involved in HUD and multifamily projects. It is
my opinion that as long as the length of the loan is in ef-
fect and in this case it is a 40 year loan at a subsidized
interest rate. True, the use of the property cannot be
changed, but I feel like the statement that was made that
this use can't be changed for 40 years is in error. That loan
can be paid off. There is no provisions to the best of my
knowledge that that loan cannot be paid off in less than 40
years. In other words, another investor could come along and
for whatever reason, 10 years, 5 years, 15 years from now,
the Methodist Church could decide they didn't want to own
this unit any longer; another investor could come in, buy the
project, payoff the existing loan, and it could be used for
whatever purpose the other investor wanted to use it for.
Be it for apartments or whatever. Once the property is changed
from residential to commercial use, that to me opens the door
up. I do think there was an error made in that point that it
could not be changed for 40 years. There is no guarantee that
there won't be further expansion of the facility. Evidently,
there is a great need for housing for the elderly here in
La Porte. We just heard that they have expanded, that there
is a great need for it. There have been other properties
which have been acquired besides this block in the immediate
vicinity by Happy Harbor. Obviously, they are growing at a
rate which is very strong. Who is to say that once it is re-
zoned there won't be more units added? They have more land
to add units. We've been told that only one-half block is
going to be used. In closing, I would just like to ask the
Planning and Zoning Commission; I know they will be making a
recommendation to the City Council, that if it was their home
and the property next door was going to be rezoned from resi-
dential to commercial use, for whatever purpose, even if it
were what is being proposed here, if in clear conscience you
could say, knowing full well the property values of your home
would be devaluated, if you would still vote for that change?
I think there is an alternative here. I don't think it's this
spot or none. I think there are some choices. I think it
will change the neighborhood up. I would ask that the property
stay on a residential basis. I have had some contact with
people in the immediate area. I sent out a notice with my
understanding of the project, along with a copy of a newspaper
article explaining the project, and I had 27 signatures of
people in the immediate area that were against. Some of those

people are here, some of the people who didn't sign this asked
me for blanks which I didn't have. I know it's not properly
done. It was just a poll taken. I did find that as you got
further away from the property you found more people who said,
"I think it's a good idea and it doesn't affect me, and I
think the home ought to be there." As you got closer to the
site itself, you found more opposition to the change of the
property. I think it is those people in the immediate vicinity
who are affected the most. I think if you took a vote of all
La Porte, everyone would vote for the idea, including myself,
of having expansion of this type of facility. I think it is
the immediate property and home owners that are affected
mostly. I appreciate your giving me an opportunity to express
my opinion tonight.
.
Askins: Mr. Gilbert, could I address some questions to you?
One of the points you raised is one I had anticipated in my
remarks to Mr. Spicer, and that is the restriction of the use
over a period of time. It seemed like to me that your two
principal objections were that the mortgage could be paid early
and therefore that covenant would be conceded with the release
of the mortgage, and that your second objection was that if
the rezoning is accomplished and there is 51 units on say half
the block, what's to keep them from building on the other half
of the block. I have not discussed this with the Happy Harbor
folks, but assuming this, that a written agreement that could
be recorded in the deed records and thereby become a covenant
running with the land could be entered into in addition to the
rezoning. In other words, a tractual undertaking that would be
like a deed restriction, let's say. Both on a restricted use
for a facility of this type for the elderly and handicapped
with these prescriptions which we have discussed for a given
period of time, 25 years, 40 years or whatever might be agreed
upon, which would remain in effect regardless whether the
mortgage was paid off or not, further providing if the rezoning
was done, and let me say this, the word II commercial II is a fault
in our ordinance because it's a misnomer, we have a type of
zoning ordinance which groups multifamily housing in a com-
mercial use, but the application here is a restricted applica-
tion for 51 units for the elderly as they were described. If
a rezoning were approved by this Council, the type of ordinance
would be equally restrictive. Assuming a written undertaking
could also be had as to further expansion, limiting that, would
that meet your two principal objections which you have voiced
here tonight?
.
Gilbert: That would certainly be better than not having them
at all. Even if the use were to stay that way for 40 years and
I am assuming that just the project being built there, my
question to the appraiser, what's going to be the effect on my
e
e

property values? I had my own ideas and my own thoughts on
it but I wanted to hear an independent thought. I am referring
to the 5 percent devaluation. I have no backup at this point
in time, but I would be happy to spend the $1,500.00 and back
it up with a professional opinion. The number of cars that
will be involved for 51 units, which is 102 people as I under-
stand. The additional traffic, just the use itself, is going
to cause a 5 percent devaluation if it goes down hill. I say
down hill because if the use changes and some day we wind up
with a beer joint or whatever, then no telling how far the
property values could go down. To answer your question, if I
could get than, then that would be better than nothing. If I
could have it the best way, or I should say not at all, I am
self-serving here, in that I don't want my property values
to go down. I do think the project is worthwhile, but I think
there are other areas it could be done right here within the
City.
.
Tomerlin: One question, Mr. Gilbert. ~.ve are talking about
your property values going down, but have your property values
been affected the other way due to having the park area in
front of those houses?
Gilbert: The area has always been vacant ever since I built
the homes there, and I think it has been enhanced. Before, it
was just vacant land, nothing there at all. The Happy Harbor
people have fenced the property and put in some walks and, in
my opinion, have highly improved the land and the value of my
property. To answer your question, yes, I think it has im-
proved the value of my property.
Tomerlin: I guess my question is, do you think it will be
off-setting, if the value prior to the project was increased
due to the improvement by Happy Harbor, does that off-set the
5 percent decrease in value you seem to think this project
would cause?
Gilbert: No, I don't think so. I think we are looking at a
person living across from vacant land opposed to living across
from an apartment complex. The vacant land here in La Porte
is kept mowed and isn't offensive anyway. I'd say it probably
hasn't hurt, by having it fenced it isn't accessible to resi-
dents, anyway. It is private land owned by Happy Harbor and
not really a park. To say it's a park is misleading. I say
it's not a park. It is for private use.
.
Cline: They are talking about building apartments on this
block of land and it is actually right in the middle of a lot
of rental property.

Gilbert: It is in the middle of single family homes, 13 of
which I own and I do lease out.
Cline: Are the Park Avenue homes classified single family
when they are duplexes?
Gilbert: I'm talking about the ones I own.
Cline: I'm talking about the ones right across the street
from this block.
Al Pena: You are talking about rental property a block and a
half down on Park. The Park Avenue homes.
Cline: Yes, that's all rental property in there.
Al Pena: The only rental property in the vicinity of the pro-
ject is Mr. Gilbert's. The only rental property is the 65
Park Avenue homes, they are across the street from the Catholic
Church. They are also single family homes.
Gilbert: That property has been there for years and years.
Cline: Probably about as long as Happy Harbor has been there.
Gilbert: 18 years.
Cline: Happy Harbor was there long before you started building
your houses.
Gilbert: Yes, and since that time I don't know how many homes
have been built around in that area, but they were built fully
aware of what was there and with the understanding that it was
zoned residential and would not be changed.
Mayor: Thank you, Mr. Gilbert. Is there anyone else wishing
to speak against the rezoning of this property?
Al Pena, 920 S. Utah: The reason I am here this evening is to
speak against the project we have before us for a vote this
evening.
Mayor: AI, where in relation to the project is your property,
so the Council will know. Not everybody knows.
Pena: I live on Utah Street; directly across from me on
the north we have single family homes. The south of me, I
don't know if the commission is aware, Happy Harbor has bought
all the vacant property behind these homes, plus their property
which they want rezoned now, which is bounded by Bellair and
.

Parkway and also by Park Avenue and a well-dedicated drive
called Bayshore Drive, which separates the present location
from the property they want rezoned. One of the biggest
objections which I have is the safety. I would like to point
out that we have had numerous times when we have had members
of the home out into the streets and this, from what I under-
stand, they want to develop nearest to our most busy street.
Happy Harbor also owns all of this area along this street,
so what's to say if we grant them spot zoning to commercial,
that this time next year they won't come back and ask to re-
zone the rest of it? We don't have any park areas for our
kids to play. Most of them play in the streets and vacant
lots. We try to control them but like I say, the present
Bayshore Drive separates the present Happy Harbor away from
where they want to rezone, and they want to build on the
furtherest part. We are not renters and I am in the process
of buying another home. What's going to happen to that, is
the valuation going down? For the Commission, I would like
to see a show of hands of all those here who are against the
rezoning of this land. We are all property owners who live
within a block and all of us are against it. Not that we are
against housing for the elderly, but not here.
Cline: All these people are not within 200 feet who received
notice of this meeting~ are they?
Pena: I'd say half of them are; my neighbors across the
street did.
Meza: Let me see a show of hands of those people who received
a notice and are within the 200 feet of the project.
Pena: From where they want to build, all of us are.
Meza: The park area is the property to be rezoned for this
particular purpose.
Pena: Well, then, maybe half of us are within 200 feet.
Meza: Those within 200 feet should have gotten a notice.
Pena: Then if you take into consideration that Happy Harbor
also owns the entire block.
Meza: I understand, but the property we are interested in
here is this site, and if they didn't receive a notice I'd
like a legal opinion on that.

Askins: Do you have your chart on that?
Waters: I have the chart and the list in my office.
Pena: Half of these people got a notice. We got together
and talked about this.
Meza: Does anyone have a question while Betty is gone?
Tomerlin: Would the opposition be the same if the opposite
end of the property were to be utilized?
Pena: Yes, sir, for the simple reason we feel we have too
many of the elderly in the streets. It poses a problem with
our kids playing out there. There has been a serious fatality
within the very grounds of the present facility; you know, people
drowning themselves and such, and here we are wanting to bring
in more of them. They are going to have to have tighter con-
trol; this new facility is completely separated from the main
facility.
Cline: You make it sound like you don't even want the senior
citizens living down there now.
Pena: It's not that; it's just that they need to control them.
If they were going to build single structures, we might look
at it different.
Tomerlin: Mr. Neal, on the property we are talking about, will
the entry be on Park or away from the present facility?
Carter: Parkway.
Tomerlin: The entrance would be off of Parkway and the area
between the proposed building and the present facility would
remain park.
Neal: I think there is something we should bring out here,
that is, that the people who will live in this complex will be
people who are completely capable of caring for themselves.
They must maintain their own apartments, they must do their
own shopping, they are people who are on social security,
people who are tired of mowing the grass, and needing a new
roof. We have 500 people on the waiting list who would like
or who need a place to live such as these facilities. They
are not people who need constant supervision or medical care.
The 202 project must be administered through a non-profit
organization such as the Harbor. It is a direct loan by HUD

to Happy Harbor, nobody in between. To answer Mr. Gilbert's
question, 40 years is the term of the loan HUD makes to
Happy Harbor. If the mortgage is paid off after the 20 year
period, perhaps you could change it, but not for the first
20 years.
Askins: Mr. Neal, could you address a couple of Mr. Pena's
questions? One is, do you intend to have a fence around the
property as you do now, and the other question was about auto-
mobile traffic. I might direct this to Mr. Carter: "Of the
140 residents in Happy Harbor now, how many operate or park
their own automobiles there?
Carter: One.
Askins: Would you anticipate the same ratio on this project?
Neal: It is our experience in projects of this type, you have
one quarter automobile per resident. We have 120 units at
another location and we have 22 cars. Happy Harbor maintains
and operates a van. This was part of the HUD requirement.
They wanted to know how those people were going to get trans-
portation. At the time this proposal was made there were 28
being made from around the country. There were only 2 granted,
and one was Happy Harbor.
J. L. Wilson, 909 S. Utah: I'd like to find out what this is
going to do to my property taxes. They plan to build this
thing in my back yard. I have two kids and I plan on raising
these kids in this area. I don't want an apartment in my back
yard. I'd like to know, where they are going to park these
cars that they have? The people at Happy Harbor are not capable
of taking care of themselves and they do wander around in the
streets. What is this going to do to my taxes?
Simons: I was under the impression that the people who live
in these homes--
wilson: Hey, I asked a question.
Meza: Sir, it would be difficult to answer your question,
Slnce we are not appraisors of property. We are here to judge
the public input on this question. We cannot give you an
answer as to what value this would place on your property.
Wilson: Well, I'm hear talking against this and I need to
know. They are trying to bring all this stuff in and I want
to know if they are going to go up.
e
e
.
Minutes, Joint Public Hearing and Regular Meeting
April 1, 1981, Page 12
Cline: What makes you think they are going to go up? I don't
see any reason why they should.
Mrs. Pena: I have lived at my present residence for 11 years.
Mr. Neal says they don't have people wandering the streets.
Well, more than once I have had people come to my door and
look in the screen. I have taken them into my home. They
want companionship. They love little children. They love to
talk to children. This lady came more than once.
Meza: You are objecting, is that correct?
.
Mrs. Pena: I'm objecting to the possibility of my property
going down and since then Happy Harbor has acquired other land
in the neighborhood. They fenced the area to keep out children
on bicycle~, naturally, since that is private property. You
can tell when Happy Harbor is changing shifts, there is really
some traffic. To us who are property owners, there is some
concern so far as traffic is concerned. I believe you have
to be 62 to live here, and the City has already said they can't
fight a fire in 3 story buildings. I have seen these things
in Corpus Christi and they are very nice, but these older peo-
ple don't want to be around all these children who want to fly
a kite or play with their dog. They want to be where there
is peace and quiet. At 62 there are not going to be too many
that don't need somebody to look after them.
Andy Wilson: What impact will the project have on the integrity
of the neighborhood? I'm talking about 3 years, 4 years.
What guarantees is there from this Council and the P & z that
this project will never change hands? ~~at's the question that
I have. If you can address it I would appreciate it.
Simons: In forty years quite a few of us will be missing.
Askins: Andy, the long term for someone as young as you are
is longer than the long term for the rest of us.
Wilson: That's my point.
.
Askins: That is the point I was trying to make with Mr. Spicer
and Mr. Gilbert about deed restrictions. Legally, it can be
done; 40 years is the longest deed restrictions I have ever
seen. And they indicated they have a contract with the govern-
ment that would restrict it for 20 years even if they payoff
the note. I don't think you could do anything beyond 40 years.
Wilson (Andy): So beyond 40 years it could become anything
and in the interim they could develop 3 or 4 or 5 hundred units
here in the land Al was talking about and that could become
just apartments.
e
e
.
Minutes, Joint Public Hearing and Regular Meeting
April 1, 1981, Page 13
Askins: Well, that issue could be addressed by contractural
restrictions also. Like they could be restricted to 5] units
and that's all. Another thing is this, Happy Harbor has this
property, if they don't use it for this are they going to use
it to expand the nursing home? There are some of these uses
they could build without rezoning. They have a right to use
their land for something. That is what I was trying to address.
The Planning and Zoning and City Council has this as a policy
matter and that decision rests with them as a policy matter.
As a legal standpoint the City's and the citizens' interest
can be protected by restricted use, number of units, non-
profit corporation use, density, further expansion, all of
these can be addressed. The type of contract that can be re-
corded up to 40 years if they agree to it.
.
Rev. Wilson: Let me explain that this project is an ongoing
project of the Methodist Church. It has long been a dream
and let me say this grant is to construct 51 units, no more,
and we are bound to this end. Under this grant we could not
do anything further. When you question that, you question
the very integrity of the Methodist Church. Let me say further,
that if any of you folks think that anyone 62 years of age or
older can't take care of himself, you are mistaken. Several
other citizens spoke from their seats, but the mike did not
pick up.
Julian Fisher, 1211 Bayshore: I have no objection to the
Happy Harbor expansion, but I think there should be a condi-
tion that they cannot give over their rights to multi-family
housing. Now is that a condition to the granting of the zoning?
Askins: No, zoning is just an excise of the police powers of
the City. You're talking about can they sell it. That would
not be in the zoning. What we are talking about is committing
it to a particular use and I think that could be both in the
zoning and in a letter of agreement.
Meza: What is the rent going to be on these units?
Neal: The rent is based on the income of the person; 25 percent
of their gross income. The government subsidizes the rest.
Meza: The next item is to hear a request to rezone a tract of
land out of outlots 301 and 302 that fronts 26th Street (200
feet) and is 642 feet deep, from residential to commercial for
Mr. Howard Stentz. This property is in the Lomax area and was

rezoned to its original classification.
They ask that it be
Is Mr. Stentz present?
Mrs. Davis, Realtor representing Howard Stentz: We are re-
questing the rezoning due to the fact other properties in the
area have been rezoned commercial.
Kibodeaux: What is this property going to be used for?
Davis: At this time we have nothing in mind; we want it re-
zoned in order to properly place it on the market. We under-
stand Sens Road will probably be widened in the future and we
are probably looking at warehousing of some kind.
Meza: Any further questions from the Council? Planning
and Zoning have any questions? Thank you, I1rs. Davis.
.
Meza: The next item to be heard is a request to rezone lots 1,
~7 and 38, block 3, Pinegrove Valley Subdivision in the
Lomax area from residential to the commercial status it held
prior to consolidation for N. Kelly Jones. Is Mr. Jones
present?
N. Kelly Jones: Yes, sir, we are here to answer any questions.
This property was commercial when I purchased it 3 years ago.
I would like to build an office and shop on the property. My
business is Petro-Chern Inspection Services and I would occupy
the office. The shop would be for my wife's ceramics and
gifts. I have plans here if you would like to see them; they
are only 5 pages. The building will be a metallic building.
Simons: There will be no chemicals stored here?
Jones: No, sir, no chemicals. There will be a 20 foot by
20 foot room in the building to use for teaching and training
people on the inspection on piping, exchaner vessels and the
like up and down the ship channel.
Meza: Any other questions?
Tomerlin: I am having trouble reading my plat.
Waters: Turn it sideways; 26th, or Sens Road, runs along the
bottom of your plat, you see block 3 is the block between
Sunset Ridge and Plainbrook. The lots referred to here in this
hearing are the lots facing 26th Street, 1, 2, 37 and 38.

Meza: Is there anyone here within 200 feet of this property
wishing to comment?
Wright: I own 3 lots right next to this and I wasn't aware
these lots were rezoned residential.
Meza: Sir, any time there is an annexation into the City of
La Porte all properties come into La Porte as R-l. The Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission then looks at the property to de-
cide its best use and rezones the property. Do you have any
objection to this property being rezoned commercial?
Wright: No, sir.
Charles Humphrey: I own Lomax Grocery on lots 37, 38 of block
2 and I have no objection to the rezoning.
Kevin Graves: I was wondering, will he be an X-ray service?
Jones: No, sir, there will be no radioactive material of any
kind around this place.
Meza: Any further comments? Planning and Zoning will
for review and consideration of public comments. This
open meeting if you have any further comments to make.

Askins: Mr. Mayor, I have a draft ordinance on this as on each
of these items. However, as a result of some of the things
discussed tonight, I would propose to make some further pro-
visions and add some stricter provisions before presenting it
to Council. I am asking that this be tabled for final action.
Meza: I will entertain a motion to table this item until the
City Attorney has an opportunity to work out the legalities of
this ordinance.
Askins: One problem we have is that this Council that is
hearing this matter, some of you won't be here long; you are
the ones who heard it and you should be the ones to make the
decision. You are sort of like a jury. I can be ready for
Saturday.

MEMORANDUM
March 3, 1981
TO:
Mayor and City Council
e
FROM:
Planning and Zoning Commission
SUBJECT: Rezoning of Property for Happy Harbor Methodist Horne
A representative for Happy Harbor met with Planning and
Zoning on March 2, 1981, to present plans for a three-story
apartment complex for the elderly and handicapped. The sub-
ject property is located on the grounds of the existing
facility, and is presently used as a park area.
Planning and Zoning feels there is a need for such a
facility in the La Porte area, and we have been told the public
utilities are adequate. At present, the property is zoned R-l,
but in order to accommodate an apartment complex, the zoning
would need to be changed to C-Commercial and Apartment.
Planning and Zoning requests a public hearing to consider
such zoning change. Our preliminary recommendation is to grant
the zoning change with a special provision that it be limited
to the specific request for 51 apartment units as defined in
the attached letter from Mr. H. Frank Carter, dated February 19,
1981.

MEMORANDUM
March 3, 1981
TO:
Mayor and City Council
-
FROM:
Planning and Zoning Commission
SUBJECT: Request for Rezoning: Mr. and Mrs. Stentz
Mr. Stentz met with Planning and Zoning on March 2, 1981,
to present a request for rezoning parts of Outlots 301 and 301,
otherwise known as 1606 Sens Road. The subject property was
zoned Commercial prior to consolidation of La Porte and Lomax.
Mr. Stentz is requesting reinstatement of that former zoning
classification in order to sell the property.
For clarification, the property is known locally as "the
old Red Howell place." It lies between "L" Street and "P"
Street, with 200' frontage on Sens Road.
Planning and Zoning requests a public hearing to consider
such rezoning. Our preliminary recommendation is to grant the
request, due to the proximity of other commercial and light
industrial uses in the immediate area.

RE: TRACT 1 200ft.x392ft. out of O.L. 301 & 302 to the town of La Porte,
in Enoch Brinson Survey, in Harris County, TX.
TRACT 2 200ft.x250ft. out of O.L. 302 to the town of La Porte, in
Enoch Brinson Survey, in Harris County, TX, otherwise known as 1606
Sens Road.
Dear Mrs. Waters,
We are requesting at this time the above property be considered by the
Planning & Zoning Committee to be rezoned to a status that would allow
commercial usage. The property was at one time part of Lomax, and was
zoned commercial (it is zoned residential at this time). It is presently
being taxed at a commercial rate. We feel a rezoning of the tract is in
order, due to this tax rate. We are requesting it be zoned commercial
due to its proximity to Highway 225, and due to the fact a light industrial
machine shop is a short d1stance away.
We would be most grateful for any help you might be able to give in this
matter.
Sincerely,
m~
