Linda Westergren addressed Council regarding the sign ordinance and thanked all involved for their hard work in developing the ordinance.

STATE BANK e February 12. 1988 Mr. Norman Malone. Mayor City of La Porte 604 West Fairmont Parkway La Porte. TX 77571 Dear Mr. Malone: I am writing this letter to ask your consideration on behalf of La Porte State Bank regarding the action of the interim sign ordinance by the Planning and Zoning Committee last evening. While the bank certainly supports proper. attractive. and safe signage. the one issue which deals with existing off-premise signage and the inability for replacement of that sign in the event of damage does create some concern. Based on the approval last evening. signs. including our GUS sign and several bill- boards along Hwy. 146. could not be repaired or replaced should damage exceeding 50% of the replacement value occur. Those individuals that were present last evening voiced concern that a substantial dollar investment has been made in both real estate and sign construction which could create substantial harm if sign replacement is not allowed. There was some discussion that existing signs which were properly permitted could be grand- fathered and allowed to be replaced by the owners. This item did not find its way into the interim ordinance. Needless to say. the investment in our sign. which exceeds $35.000. could create quite a hardship if it were damaged either by natural causes or vehicular traffic and we were unable to repair that sign. Our objective in erecting the GUS sign was twofold; first. to a assist in the identification of the bank's location, and, second, to provide a no cost community service announcement vehicle. At present, the community service announcements represent approxi- mately 75% of the total sign usage. I would appreciate your strong consideration in granting this one variance in the interim sign ordinance as well as in the permanent sign ordinance when it is completed. Sincerely. ~43 ~/1U/J7r" Bob Pizzitola President BP/jmm cc: Doug Latimer, Chairman of Planning and Zoning David Brady. President of Chamber of Commerce BI5 HighwaJ 146 South P. O. Box 1457 La Parte. Texas 77571 713/471-2911 e e INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM Subject: Bob Herrera, City Hanager Ervin J. Gl~iffith7Building Official/ t;:{), .4- n Zoning Administrator ~cJ ~~ Joel H. Albrecht, Director of Community Development ,- Six Month Review of City Zoning Ordinance No. 1501 To: From: Through: Date: February 23, 1988 Attached is a draft copy of the Six Month Review to Ordinance No. 1501, which has been recommended for favorable consideration to the City Council by the Planning & Zoning Commission. All proposed amendments have been incorporated into the text. All changes are indicated by means of vertical black bars located in the right margin. An index of all proposed amended changes has been included in this pacl(et. Also included are three map exhibits. Maps A & B indicate the three zoning reclassifications recommended for approval by the Planning & Zoning Coomission. Zoning boundary lines are drawn on these exhibits as they will appear on the City's Official Zoning Map if the changes are adopted by Counc il. Map A concerns Block 93; Bayfront Subdivision. Map B concerns two tracts located in the 9900 Block of West Fairmont Parkway. Map C involves interpretive changes being made in the Myrtle Creek, W. Main area. These changes are being made in accordance with Section 2-700 of the zoning ordinance. The purpose of these changes is to shift zoning lines so they coincide with property lines, rather than bisecting tracts. As these changes do not require Council action, this exhibit is included for informational purposes only. The Staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission would like to point out to the City Council that Section 11-507(8) of the proposed Six Hon th Rev iew dra ft for the Zon ing Ord inane e does include a pa ragraph concerning existing p~rmissive legislation on the "3/4 rule". If the City Council kept this paragraph in the draft, it would require three-fourths of the members of the City Council voting favorable to overturn a recommendation for denial by the Planning & Zoning Commission. It would only take a simple majority to deny a favorable recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Commission. e e Bob Herrera Six Month Review Page 2 The City Staff discussed the legislation Hith the legal counsel for the Texas Municipal League. They told the City of La Porte that "most cities did utilize the 3/4 rule and that the Texas Municipal League favored this usage, but being permissive, the City Council must rule on it before adoption". The remainder of this packet is comprised of background reports and exhibits pertaining to the three proposed zoning reclassifications. EJG/nd BI l l R.

Stevlart Kamal S. Sheena John Locke Requested Zone Change: R-1 Low Density Residential to General Commercial (G.C.) Property Location: All of Block 93; Bayfront Subdivision Background This block is located on the south side of East Main Street between' South Utah and South Idaho (see exhibit #1). The entire block is zoned as R-1 Low Dens i ty Res ident ial. It is bordered (as shown on exhib it #1) to the north and east by General Commercial property. There are presently six commercial buildings and two single family residences located on Block 93. The ten lots fronting on East Main Street are undeveloped (see exhibit #2). All owners of property on this block have contacted the City to request this change. Analysis As noted in the background bordered on two sides by G.C. zone. in any of the R-1 zone immediately exhibit 112). section, this block is presently There is no commercial development south or east of this property (see Further, the City's Land Use Map (exhibit #3) indicates commercial use extending into this block. e e Map Review Request/Block 93 November 13, 1987 Page 2 Conclusion Based on the commercial and residential development patters in this area and the use pattern indicated on the Land Use Map, a reclassification of this block to General Commercial will not have a major impact on the City's Comprehensive Plan. Recommendation Reclassify all of Block 93; Bayfront as General Commercial. Planning & Zoning Commission Recommendation After reviewing public input and the facts relevant to this matter, the Planning & Zoning Commission recommends the rezoning of the above described property from R-1 Low Density Residential to General Commercial (G.C.). , , . \. .-... ,. . , i . 81 t , ~ ~ R.~I \ :; ,.: ,.: .. .. ) ; 8,. % .. .. ~ . 61~ ~ 33' "- lIT. j '7 ,.

Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77571 Re: Hearing on Review Qf the Text of the Zoning Ordinance To Whom It May Concern; It is my impression that the zoning ordinance should stay the same as it is at this time. No commercial privileges should be given to any tract in our area. Commercial neighborhood will degrade our property, bring crime and an undesirable group of people. I hereby oppose any rezoning in the City of La Porte or Morgan's Point. Sincerely yours, ~ ~ 6 (Lj!/l'v~ Kamal S. Sheena, M.D. KSS/ba e e November 13, 1987 Map Review Request By: Gray Enterprises and J.P. Jackson on behalf of Fairmont Park Joint Venture Requested Zone Change: Neighborhood Commercial from R-2 High Density Residential Property Location: 9700 Block through 9900 Block of West Fairmont Parkway. The property in question is described as a 2.984 acre Tract and a 1.239 acre Tract out of 198.898 acres of land in the W.M. Jones Survey shown as Tract 3 on the December 3, 1987 plat of the Fairmont Park area. Background The tracts in question are presently split by a zoning line. The western end of this property extends into the Neighborhood Commercial zone located at the north eastern corner of West Fairmont Parkway and Underwood Road. further, there is also a N.C. zone located immediately north of the property in question (see exhibits 1 & 2). This N.C. zone was established by City Ordinance No. 1501.A. The western end of this property is occupied by Center, a gas station, car wash, convenience store. otherwise undeveloped. J.P's Service The tracts are Analvsis: The c reat ion of the N. C. zone north of J. P. 's Serv ice Center created a "spot" zone. The purpose of the request is to eliminate this situation by re-classifying these tracts as N.C. This action will connect the two existing N.C. zones and create one larger zone in their place. e e Map Review Request/J.P.Jackson November 13, 1987 Page 2 A rev iew of the City's Land Use Map does show the Commission's intent is to have high density residential development in this area (see exhibit #3). A further review of exhibit /12, however, shows the remalnlng undeveloped R-3 area to be large enough for the development of a high density residential complex. Conclusion In Staffs oplnlon, although this request is not in keeping with the intent of City's Comprehensive Plan, the problems of maintaining the N . C. "spot" zone out weigh the con sid era t ion s against this request. For this reason, Staff requests the Commission approve this reclassification and recommend that it be adopted by City Council. Recommendation Approval of this request to reclassify the tracts in question to N.C. Planning & Zoning Commission Recommendation After reviewing public input and the facts relevant to this matter, the Planning & Zoning Commisison recommends rezoning of the above descr ibed tracts from R- 3 High Dens i ty Res ident ial to Ne ighborhood Commercial (N.C.). s ' ~ ~ I ~ ~ ~ 1= ! ~ ~ .! -F..- ~ I ill' ----~~~r---T-. ..--~~---_....... ....' ,l)~-R-2 ~ )~: ",. ."":' I "",. .:NC:,: .:.'...,.j.':.....

P. Jackson, the owners of the above described property, request consideration of the Plarming and Zoning Coomission to review the zoning of our property in this area. We think an orderly expansion of the Neighborhood Conmercial Zoning Classification from Underwood Road to the Neighborhood Convenience Center would be in keeping with our intent for develoIIJ1ent of this area, which started in August of 1981 and is further described below. First, Fairmont Park Joint Venture designed and constructed the infrastructure to serve this area for commercial development, as Shown by the water, sewer, and stom sewer lines on the attached map. '1be R-3 area is designed to have an entrance on Fairmont Parkway just west of Jennie Reid-Elementary' School-, and another entrance on Underwood Road. The small amount of R-3 between the current ~ zone and the Neighborhood Convenience Center does not fit into this develoIIJ1ent plan. Second, by extending the ~ zone down to include the Neighborhood Convenience Center, the Conmission can remove this non-confomling use fran the R-3 Zone. The Convenience Center is a successful business serving several camnmity needs and as a pre-existing business. it should not be zoned as Residential-3. ....2 P. O.

Griffith Department: Code Enforcement/ Communitv Develop xx Report Resolution xx Ordinance Exhibits: Proposed Interim Sign Regulations Section 10-1000 of City Ordinance No. 1501 Memo on Home Occupation Signs SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Section 10-1000 is comprised of the City's proposed Interim Sign Regulations. This section is intended for inclusion in the City's Zoning Ordinance (#1501) and is being forwarded for Council consideration as part of the Six Month Zoning Review. Since the current sign moritorium is going to expire on March 31, 1988, Staff has separated the sign section from the remaining reviewpacket for immediate consideration. Adoption of these regulations will allow the City to have a functional set of sign regulations in effect prior to the expiration of the moritorium. If these regulations are adopted, the City's sign moritorium should be rescinded by resolution effective March 24, 1988. Action Required by Council: 1. After public hearing, consider adoption of Ordinance - Interim Sign Regulations. 2. After adoption of Ordinance, consider rescinding City of La Porte Sign Moritorium by resolution.

Alb echt, Director of Community SUBJECT: Home Occupation Signs Proposed Interim Sign Regulations As the City Council approves of revisions to the Zoning ordinance for the City of La Porte and the Interim Sign ordinance, please note that Section 3-100 sets forth the requirements for Home Occupation signs. The ordinance states that "there will be no other visible evidence of the conduc t of such home occupat ion other that one (1) sign, not exceeding two (2) square feet in area, non-aluminated, and mounted flat against wall of the principle building." This section is independent from Section 10-1000 and does not conflict with the Residential Use Tables A & B. These tables set forth the regulations for free standing signs both on and off premise and not to a sign affixed directly to the main structure. JHA/nb xc: John Joerns, Asst.

'0' INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council Doug Latimer, Chairman, ~ Planning & Zoning Commission From: Subject: Six Month Review of Zoning Ordinance and Map Date: February 19, 1988 For the past several months, the Planning & Zoning Commission, as required by Section 11-504, has been engaged in a review of City Zoning Ordinance No. 1051 and the City of La Porte's Official Zoning Map. The purpose of this review is as follows: "... [The Planning & Zoning Commission shall] revieH to determine whether the Ordinance has become deficient, obsolete and inadequate for any reason, including the following: 1. Defects in the original text 2. Defects in the zoning map 3. Deficiencies created by improper or lax administration and subsequent 'amendments to the original ordinance which are inconsistent, conflicting or ambiguous. 4. Inconsistency with State Statutes or judicial decisions." Using these guidelines, the comprehensive review of both the zoning was conducted during study sessions, hearings. Commission has completed a map and ordinance. This review regular meetings and public Hhile the individually, categories: proposed they can amendments be grouped are too numerous to into the following mention general A. Hap issues 1.

Correction of typographical errors throughout the ordinance 2. Definition changes 3. Administrative changes 4. Use table changes 5. Landscaping requirements 6. Accessory building & use changes 7. Parking requirement chan3es 8. Sign requirements including Interim Sign Regulations The Planning & Zoning Commission t.JQuld like to point out to the City Council that Section 11-507(8) of the proposed dl~aft for the Zoning Ordinance does include a pai~agraph concerning existing permissive legislation on the "3/4 rule". If the City Council kept this paragraph in the draft, it would require three-fourths of the members of the City Council voting affirmative in order to overturn a recommendation for denial of a proposed use change by the Planning & Zoning Commission. It Hould only take a simple majority to deny a recommendation in favor of a change classification from the Planning & Zoning Commission. This section is based on a provision of state law. The law is permissive in that Cities are allowed, rather than required, to incorporate this type of provision into their zoning ordinances. The City Staff has discussed the legislation with the legal council for the Te;:as j'lunicipal League. They told the City of La Porte that "most cities did utilize the 3/4 rule and that the Texas r1unicipal League favored its usage, but being permissive, the City Council must rule on it before adoption". The Commission has no objection to the inclusion or the exclusion of this requirement in the ordinance, we are forwarding it to Council for your consideration. Except as noted above, the Planning & Zoning Commission recommends adoption of all proposed amendIilents to City Zoning Ordinance No. 1501 and to the City of La Porte Zoning Map.

Herrera, City Manager Jeff Litchfield, Director of Fioance~ DATE: March 2, 1988 FROM: SUBJECT: Transference of Cable Franchise to Prime Cable of Ft. Bend, L.P. At the February 8, 1988 City Council meeting, the first of two readings of the ordinance transferring the cable franchise took place with the second reading scheduled for March 14, 1988. City staff is charged with determining two key points before the franchise can be transferred. The first is that the acquiring company has the ability to perform the service and the second is they have the financial backing that permits them to perform. It is the second point I will be addressing. Also at the February 8, 1988 council meeting, the City Manager requested Prime Cable deliver to the City current, audited financial statements. I have received audited financial statements from Prime Venture I, Inc. dated December 31, 1986. These statements were issued March 27, 1987. Prime Venture is a Delaware corporation and a general partner in Prime Cable of Ft. Bend, L.P., the company requesting the transfer of the franchise. I performed a cursory review of the financial statements with the objective of determining if any of the data presented showed evidence the company did not have the financial backing necessary to provide similar service. I noted the following: Prime Venture was incorporated in September, 1985; Prime Venture obtained a 31% interest in Prime Cable of Ft. Bend in October, 1986; Prime Cable of Ft. Bend incurred a net loss of $280,000 in 1986 ($87,000) allocated to Prime Venture); and, Prime Venture has a shareholders' equity of $6,763,254 as of December 31, 1986. Based on the information I have reviewed, I believe Prime Cable of Ft. Bend, L.P., an affiliate of Prime Venture I, Inc., has the financial backing to perform the cable franchise for the City. The loss does not bother me because of the length of time the company has been in business and the nature of their business. Please note that the financial statements were dated 12/31/86. The 1987 statements will probably be available in April. Unless a drastic change has occurred, I do not believe reviewing the 1987 statements will affect my decision. . .. e e ORDINANCE NO. l175-A AN ORDINANCE GRANTING THE PRIOR CONSENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE, TO THE ASSIGNMENT BY KIP-LEE CATV, INC., DBA LA PORTE CABLE TELEVISION, A TEXAS CORPORATION, OF ITS FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF LA PORTE, AS EXPRESSED IN CITY OF LA PORTE ORDINANCE NO. 1175, PASSED AND APPROVED ON FIRST READING ON NOVEMBER 28, 1979, AND ON FINAL READING ON JANUARY 9, 1980; APPROVING THE ASSIGNMENT OF SUCH FRANCHISE TO PRIME CABLE OF FORT BEND, L.P., A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP WHICH IS AN AFFILIATE OF PRIME CABLE; REQUIRING THE ASSIGNEE TO EXECUTE AND FILE WITH THE CITY SECRETARY OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF ORDINANCE NO. 1175, AND AGREEING TO COMPLY WITH ALL THE PROVISIONS THEREOF; FINDING COMPLIANCE WITH THE OPEN MEETINGS LAW; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.

Smith, Chief of Police SUBJECT: HGAC/CJC Multi-agency Crime Suppression Grant DATE: February 24, 1988 Sir: The La Porte Police Department is pursuing a Criminal Justice Funding Grant. The grant noted above, is part of the $300 million dollars, allotted by the governor, to aid local jurisdictions in the suppression of crime. Specifically in the areas of rape, robbery, burglary, theft, and narcotics. In this multi-agency scheme, one city will be considered applicant and coordinator. In this case, my department will fill that role, with commitments from: 1) Morgans Point 2) Shoreacres 3) Seabrook 4) Lakeview 5) Nassau Bay 6) Webster Each ci ty will supply one (1) officer to serve on The Task Force. One ranking officer will coordinate the Task Forces' activities with statistical input coming from each jurisdiction. It will be the units responsibility to prioritize and target the high crime areas in each e e jurisdiction. In some cases the entire unit may act as a team or break up into smaller teams to work these targeted areas. No one city will have total control of the unit. Funding from the grant will break down into the following: TERM COMMITTED MONIES 1st. yr. Salaries & supplies Equipment HGAC 100% 50% CITIES 0% 50% 2nd. yr Salaries & supplies Equipment 100% 50% 0% 50% 3rd. yr Salaries & supplies Equipment 100% 50% 0% 50% 4th. yr Salaries & supplies Equipment 40% 40% 60% 60% 5th. yr Salaries & supplies Equipment 20% 20% 80% 80% To avoid having to purchase vehicles for the additional officers, officers will use personally owned vehicles and receive $400 per month car allowance for gas, maintenance and mileage. ~ b\J.~"~~ \Nl\~CJI... Each participating city will hire, place and pay each officer they dedicate to the unit in the manner they normally pay employees. The coordinating city will be responsible for the disbursement of reimbursement funds. Payment of salaries, through the grant, including all benefits that would normally be paid to that officer. I feel that the Crime Suppressant Task Force (CREST) will be a high benefit to all of the participating cities. All of our populations are small and singly we cannot attract the attention of specialized Harris County Crime Units. This will allow us to form our own special crime unit, without having to depend on Harris County. It will draw our cities closer together in the spirit of intercooperation and will give us all additional manpower to gather intelligence, observe, and apprehend intercity offenders. This program e e will aid us in one of our primary Law enforcement goals, that of ridding our cities of narcotic sellers, burglars and thieves. In this endeavor, we have the endorsement of Mr. Johnny Holmes, Harris County District Attorney as well as Harris County Adul t Probation Department. We are presently the only group in the state to apply of this type of grant. I am requesting that the La Porte City Council consider a resolution, committing to participation in this project, as has been done in the other six cities. Charles E.

ORDERED that Harris County enter into an interlocal agreement with the City of LA PORTE for the funding of the demolition of' 'approximately seven single family residential structures located on the north side of the City and other related costs in the City of LA PORTE using Community Development Block Grant funds, said agreement being incorporated herein by reference for all purposes as though fully set forth herein word for word. e e REOUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Agenda Date Requested: March 14, 1q88 Requested By: Alton Porter Department: Councilman X Report Resolution Ordinance Exhibits: SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Recently, a representative of the student body at La Porte High School made a presentation to Council requesting use of Sylvan Beach Convention Center by the school at no charge to them. At that time, Council was of the opinion that to allow the school to do so would be opening the door to requests from other organizations for free use of the Center. Council declined to allow the school free use of the Center, as they felt that in order for the Convention Center to be self-supporting, no free usage or discounts could be given. However, since the City uses various school facilities at different times of the year (swimming pool, track, school buildings for elections, etc.), I feel that some sort of reciprocal agreement is in order to enable an exchange of facilities. My suggestion is that the school be allowed free use of Sylvan Beach Convention Center on one (1) Wednesday, one (1) Friday, and one (1) Saturday during each year. The school would have the burden of limiting what school functions would be held, and Qnly a legitimate school function could be held (no Booster Club functions, etc.). Reciprocal charges for all City uses of school facilities would be the amount of total fees for the three (3) nights use of Sylvan Beach Convention Center (i.e., $1,950). The school district and the City would bill and credit internally. The in-house transfer of funds by the City could be made from Parks and Recreation Department to the Enterprise Fund for Sylvan Beach Convention Center. I would appreciate your support in this matter. If the School District and the Council agree that this is a feasible idea, the City Attorney can be directed to prepare an agreement for signatures. .

Report Resolution Ordinance Exhibits: Exhibit A - Staff Memo Exhibit B - Bid Tabulation \q~1-ra<o The ~ Golf Course budget for the building of a golf course included funds for a golf cart storage building and a maintenance building. SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The staff prepared plans, specifications and bid documents for these two facilities. The specifications are for two standard metal buildings each 50' wide by 60' long. The maintenance building has a 20' overhand on one,end that would protect equip- ment parked beneath it overnight. The building would also have an office for the golf course superintendent and a parts room. The golf cart building would also be 50' wide by 60' long and be totally open on the inside. To be sure that we stayed within the 1987-88 budget of $100,000.00 for both of these buildings we included three alternate proposals to the bid documents. The alternates proposed are as follows: 1.) Delete the concrete floor in the golf cart storage building to reduce cost, (this cost would have been deleted from base bid). 2.)Add two additional doors in each end to facilitate easier maneuvering and storage of golf carts, and 3.) Add insulation to the maintenance building to improve working conditions. Five sealed bids for these buildings were submitted and opened March 9, 1988. The low bid was from Moore & Moore General Contractor, Inc., of La Porte whose total bid, including alternate No.2 and No.3 was $86,385.00. (The ,bid does include a concrete floor). CONTINUED ON PAGE 2. Action Required by Council: The staff recommends the approval of the low bid submitted by Moore & Moore General Contractors, Inc., in the amount of $86,385.00. This recommendation does include the base bid and alternates No.2 and No.3.

To offset the possibility of going over the budget we wrote a set of specifications that did not include any paving around the buildings. We also attempted to standardize everything we could in the building but at the same time provide for the minimum needs of storing golf carts and maintaining golf course equipment. To assure ourselves of meeting budget we included three al ternative proposals in the bidding specifications. They are: 1. Delete the concrete floor in the cart storage facility and use only crushed rock or aggrate gypsum. 2. Add two additional overhead doors for the cart storage facility, this would greatly assist in the maneuvering of the carts into and out of the building. 3. Add insulation to the maintenance building to provide better working conditions. The successful contractor is requ ired to prov ide plans sealed by an engineer, licensed to work in the State of Texas. On March 9, 1988, we opened five (5) bids for the two buildings and the apparent low bidder was Moore and Moore General Contractors, Inc., of La Porte. Their bid to the City for constructing these two buildings was $86,385.00. This bid does include alternative proposals e e Maintenance/Cart Storage Buildings Harch 10, 1988 Page 2 No. 2 and the cart building. building. The difference between the bid price of $86,385. and the budgeted figure of $100,000. can be utilized for a contingency account and also for some site work around the bu ild ings. The site work would be a rock road to the site and around the buildings.

This study resulted in an implementation plan that was to guide the City through the installation and development of La Porte's data processing contract with HMS, Inc. Since the adoption of the plan in February 1983, the City has had varied success in the installation and update of standard applications that were called for in the contract with HMS. During the same time period there has been significant advances in the micro-computer industry with an increase in software available for municipal applications. The majority of decisions the City makes are based on information gathered from computer systems. The study will insure that the City maximizes its initial investment and also redevelop an outdated MIS plan. Mr. Chip Collins will serve as Project Manager for the study. Mr. Collins will bring a special insight to the study since he served as Project Director for LWFW when the original data processing implementation plan was developed. The approved FY 87-88 Budget appropriated $30,000 for an MIS update; $13,000 appropriated from the General Fund and $17,000 appropriated from the Utility Fund. The study tasks and project approach is attached for your reference. Action Required by Council: Approval of Phase I services described in the proposal. The estimated cost for these services is $18,800 plus reimbursables. The fee for Phase I will be based on an hourly rates times the actual man hours plus out of pocket expenses not to exceed $20,000.
