The following citizens addressed Council regarding the proposed airport rules and regulations ordinance: Don Shipp - stated he i.s against the proposed airport rules as they stand now. Don Jackson - objects because he wasn't notified that the ordinance was being done and would like to study it. Dan Ntaarouf - would like to see the ordinance before it is pass in order to familiarize himself with it. Don Swor - feels the committee :~s r•e-inventing the wheel and feels the rules are already there. He feels that no repeated tough-and-goe .hould be allowed and there is a need to clear t?p tr•affi.c patterns so that larger planes could use the facility. Charles Gruby - feels most of the rules in the ordinance are already addressed in the FAA regulations. He feels that informed people need to be on the committee; need support as a reliever airport for Hobby; there needs to be a balance between training and larger aircraft. Logan Goar - the airport is a good one, but more time i_s needed to study the ordinance. Too many people have not seen it; users need a change to meet with the committee to discuss it.

Countrywide Parnership Investments, owner;. Represented by Robert R. Murano, Vice President. Requested Rezoning: From: Manufactured Housing (M.H.) To: General Commercial (G.C.) Background: The property in question fronts on the 8900 block of Spencer Highway. It is located immediately west of Canada Street and is part of the Pecan Plantation Mobile Home Park. This park was developed prior to being annexed into the City of La Porte. The tract in question was originally a mobile home sales lot. After being annexed the entire tract was assigned a temporary zoning classification of R-1, Residential. This rendered the entire park complex a non-conforming use. With the adoption of Zoning Ordinance ~~1501 in January, 1987, a zoning classification of M.H. was assigned to the entire park complex. This brought the park into conformance with the CityTs zoning requirements but left the sales lot as a non-conforming use. The sales lot was discontinued sometime after January 1987. As a result, the non-conforming status of this tract has been lost. The parks rental office and maintenance building are presently located on this property. The entire 4.049 acre site to be considerd is fenced and paved with asphalt. _The applicants are seeking a rezoning of only the 4.048 acre tract which fronts on Spencer Highway and not of the entire park complex. This rezoning, from M.H. to G.C. is to allow them to establish a multi-use facility on their site. The proposed uses are as follows. Please refer to Exhibit B. R.V. rental (SIC 7519). This is a permitted G.C. use. A ea Boat and auto storage. It is staff's understanding that this storage facility would be for the use of the park's tenants and not for rental to the general public. This is an unlisted use which has been treated as Conditional in other instances. Arm: Mobile home sales lot (SIC 5272) and park rental office. The office shown in Area 3 is existing. It is presently used as the parks rental office. Mobile home sales is a permitted G.C. use. As indicated by the City's zoning map (See Exhibit A), the present zoning designation is M.H. (manufactured housing). The underlying property use indicated by the Land Use Map is Mid to High Density Residential (See Exhibit C). A rezoning to G.C. would therefore necessitate a change to the Comprehensive Plan.__ The proposed change however, appears to be minor and warranted for the following reasons. As indicated by the zoning map (See Exhibit A), this property is flanked on both the east and west by G.C. zones. The rezoning would serve to extend the eastern G.C. zone to the park entrance. The City's Thoroughfare Plan (See Exhibit D) classifies Spencer Highway/West Main Street as a Primary Arterial road. There is a well established pattern of commercial development along this road running from five points to the western City limits, at San Jacinto College. Based on the amount of property zoned as G.C. existing along this road, the intent of the Comprehensive Plan to encourage commercial development in this area can be seen (See Exhibit E). The property in question has a history of commercial use. As noted earlier, it was initially developed and used as a mobile home sales lot. The property is surfaced with asphalt, lighted and fenced. Although some modification of the facilities would be necessary to meet current zoning requirements (notably landscaping), this tract is basically well suited to the proposed uses. Exhibit F indicates zoning lines as they would appear if this request is granted. Conclusion• The proposed rezoning would involve only a minor change to the Comprehensive Plan. It does not appear to be contrary to the general intent of the Plan for this area. The property is question is well suited to commercial usage. Recommended City Council approval of Rezoning Request R89-001. REQU~ FO CITY COUNCIL AGENDA M Agenda Date Requested: -April. 24, 1Q89 Requested By: Joel Albrecht Department: Communitv Dev. X Report Resolution Ordinance Exhibits: 1) Staff Report 2) Letter of Transmittal from Planning & Zoning Commission 3) Special Conditional Use Permit ~~S.C.U. 8g-001 4) Transparency Exhibits SUMMARY & F.COMMENDATION S M A The Planning & Zoning Commission, at their March 16, 1989 public hearing and regular meeting, considered a Special Conditional Use Permit Request ~~S.C.U. 89-001. This request, made by Countrywide Partnership, Inc. is for the purpose of allowing a storage facility for boats, automobiles, and recreational vehicles to be located on their property known as 8802 Spencer Highway (Outlot 709 and West 471.8" of 708, Tr. Adj. W, La Porte Outlots - 4.U4g Acres). After considering this request in public hearing, the Commission, in regular session, by a four to one (4 to 1) vote recommended granting Special Conditional Use Permit ~kS.C.U. 89-001, subject to the following conditions: 1) Facility should be screened on al.l four (4) sides in accordance with the provisions of Zoning Ordi- nance Section 6-600A (See Exhibit B). 2) Lighting for the facility should be arranged in accordance with the provisions of Section 6-600B.4 (See Exhibit B). 3) No repair or• maintenance work shall. be performed on any boat or vehicle while it is on the storage facility premises. RECUMMEtiiD ~'TIQN: Grant Special Conditional Use Permit 4kS.C.U. 89-001 subject to the recommended conditions. NOTE: Granting this permit is appropriate only if the property in question has commercial zoning. This recommendation for approval is therefore contingent on approval of Re-zoning Request ~~R 89-001. ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL: 1) Hold Public Hearing to Consider Special Conditional Use Perrnit Rea,uest. 2) At close of Public Hearing Consider Approving or Denying Permit ~~S.C.U. 89-001.

Murano, Vice President Promo sed Use: Boat, R.V. and Automobile Storage Background: This request has been filed in conjunction with rezoning request R89-001. Regardless of the Commission's findings regarding this request, favorable consideration can not be given if the rezoning is denied. Three uses are proposed for this property. Two, R.V. rental (SIC 7519) and mobile home sales (SIC 5272) are permitted G.C. uses. The third activity boat, R.V. and auto storage is not a listed use in the City's Zoning Ordinance. This activity, in previous requests considered by the Commission has been treated as a Conditional Use. Exhibit B indicates the location of the proposed storage facility in relation to the other proposed activities. It is staff's understanding that the storage facility will be used by Pecan Plantation residents and will not be available for rental to the general public. Countrywide's intention is to make this facility available to park residents so the park's streets and parking areas may be left clear of obstructions caused by parked boats and R.V.'s. The proposed location for this facility is surfaced with asphalt and is part of a larger fenced enclosure (See Exhibit B). The conditions, which in staff's opinion, should be attached to this type of use are as follows. 1. Facility should be screened on all four sides in accordance with the provisions of Zoning Ordinance Section 6-600A (See Exhibit B). 2. Lighting for the facility should be arranged in accordance with the provisions of Section 6-600B.4 (See Exhibit B). 3. No repair or maintenance work shall be performed on any boat or vehicle while it is on the storage facility premises. • Conclusion: If operated in accordance with the above listed conditions, this facility conforms to ordinance guidelines for G.C. activities. Recommendations: Contingent on approval of the accompanying rezoning request, staff finds no objection to approval of Special Conditional Use Permit SCU89-001, subject to the conditions listed in the analysis section of this report. • • ORDINANCE N0. 1501-I AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1501, BY CHANGING CLASSIFICA- TION OF THAT CERTAIN PARCEL OF LAND HEREIN DESCRIBED; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF.

Development XXXX Report Resolution Ordinance Exhibits: 1) Letter from City of Morgan's Point SUMMA RY & RECOMMENDATION The City of Morgan's Point is desirous to know the intent of the City of La Porte concerning the purchase of one half of "I" Street adjacent to Block No. 477. Mrs. Aline Cook, owner of Block No. 477 which is located adjacent to the northern property line of La Po rte's Mini Bike Park, has submitted a request to the City of Morgan's Point to close "I" Street abutting her property. "I" Street is sixty (60') feet wide and abutts Block No. 477 a total distance of two hundred sixty-six (266') feet. A total land area of 15,960 square feet is included in the closure request of Mrs. Cook. One half of the property, 7,890 square feet, can be acquired by the City of La Porte at a cost of $.75 cents per square foot for a total cost of $5,985.00 dollars. Utilities are not currently serving the property in question. Water is available but is located in N. Broadway approximately 1300 feet away. Sewer service can not be provided without some form of a lift station. 1 would recommend favorable consideration to the acquisition of the property for future City use or for sale as part of an industrial site since the zoning on the property is Industrial. This year the City of La Porte has received $55,422.40 from the closing of "I" Street and the alley 1_ocated in Block No. 166. We also are to receive, until July 31, 1997, $600.00 per year from McDonald's for the license to use the alley adjacent to their r•estau rant . The City of La Porte has comma.tted $17,760.00 to the City of Morgan's Point for the purchase of one half of "H" Street adjacent to the south side of the park leaving a balance of $37,662.40 in the account.
