A Conditional Use Permit is required due to the Light Industrial Zoning of the property in question. The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this request during its December 17, 1992 public hearing and regular meeting. The Commission by a unanimous vote of members present has recommended City Council approval of this permit. No additional conditions are recommended. Staff, in accordance with Zoning Ordinance requirements has mailed public hearing notices to all properties located within 200 feet of the tract in question. In the case of this request, notices were mailed to 13 property owners. As of Monday, February 15, four (4) replies favoring approval of the permit have been received. Should any additional replies be received prior to February 22, they will be presented to Council during the course of the public hearing. Recommendation: Staff concurs with the Planning & Zoning Commission and recommends City Council approval of Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU92-002. Action Required by Council: 1.

BOX 1 1 15 0 LA PORTE, TEXAS 77572 Re: Special Conditional Use Permit Request #SCU92-002 Dear Mayor Malone, The La Porte Planning and Zoning Commission at its December 17, 1992, public hearing and regular meeting considered Special Conditional Use Permit Request #SCU92-002. The permit has been requested for the purpose of allowing Stone Castle Industries to operate its business in an existing building located at 205 North 11th Street. Stone Castle will manufacture a synthetic stone and mould it into ornaments and architectural trim pieces. This type of business activity requires a Special Conditional Use Permit when operated in a Light Industrial Zone. The Planning and Zoning Commission, after considering this request during the public hearing, has found the application to satisfy Zoning Ordinance prerequisites. The Commission, by a unanimous vote of members present, has recommended that City Council approve Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU92-002. Respectfully Submitted, Mrs. Betty Waters Chairman, Planning and Zoning Commission xc: Planning and Zoning Commission Robert T. Herrera, City Manager John Armstrong, Assistant City Attorney • SPECIAL CONDITIONAL USE #SCU92-002 PERMIT REQUEST • • Requested For: 205 North Eleventh Street which is further described as Lots 9-11 and 22-24; Block 72; Town of La Porte. (Exhibit A) Requested By: Mr. Henry Blair, owner of Stone Castle Industries. Zonin : Light Industrial (LI) Purpose of Reguest: Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU92-002 is requested to allow Stone Castle Industries to locate at the above referenced facility for the purpose of manufacturing architectural and ornamental trim from synthetic stone. This business activity, SIC #3272, is listed by Zoning Ordinance Section 7-500, Table A, as conditional in LI zones. Background: The facility in question, which consists of two (2) buildings, is owned and operated by Barrett's Air Conditioning and Heating. Barrett's is down sizing its operation and is proposing to lease the "rear" building to Stone Castle Industries. This rear building was constructed some years ago as a secondary or accessory building for Barrett's Air Conditioning. The building has no improved street frontage but rather, is accessed from Barrett's parking lot. The alley separating the two structures has been surfaced with what appears to be a shell/gravel mixture and is used as a driveway to the rear structure (see Exhibit A). While current ordinance provisions would prohibit construction of a new building without its own improved street frontage, the rear building can be considered as a legally pre-existing, non -conforming structure in regards to this issue. As the applicant is proposing no building additions or site modifications, staff is considering the present situation as an acceptable given. However, if this building were to be enlarged at any time in the future, development of the Page 2 of 4 Planning & Zoning Commission SCU92-002 unimproved North 12th Street right-of-way would become necessary. The issue of parking and traffic control is discussed further in the analysis section of this report. Stone Castle manufactures its products by blending sand and polymer resins. This mixture is then poured into moulds. The end product is a material which visually resembles various types of stone and is shaped for specific applications. Mr. Blair, the applicant, will present photo examples of typical products to the Commission during the Public Hearing. Based on information provided by the applicant, the entire operation will take place indoors. The sand and other raw materials must be protected from rain and other contaminants. All material storage will also be indoors. Products will be produced in relatively small runs of 300 - 500 pound batches. Analysis: Zoning Ordinance Section 7-700 establishes performance standards for Industrial, Conditional Uses. These standards are too lengthy to list verbatim in this report. They can be found on pages 63 and 64 of the Zoning Ordinance. The standards, as they apply to this request, are as follows: A. Traffic Control: The intent of this section is to prevent excessive traffic congestion and safety hazards. The requirement also seeks to keep industrial traffic out of residential neighborhoods. The property in question is located in a Light Industrial zone. There is ready access to nearby truck routes; specifically, Highway 146, West Main Street (west of Hwy. 146.), and Barbour's Cut Boulevard. • Page 3 of 4 Planning & Zoning Commission SCU92-002 Existing on -site parldng should be adequate for both Stone Castle and Barrett's ongoing operation. This business should have little impact on existing traffic volume or patterns. B. Drainage: This is an existing facility. No building additions or site modifications are proposed. Drainage is not applicable to this request. C. Compatibilily with Surrounding Area: The facility is located in a relatively undeveloped Light Industrial zone. As noted, all storage and processing will take place indoors. There should be no incompatibility with the surrounding area. D. Required Licenses Obtained: If the requested Conditional Use Permit is approved, the applicant will have to obtain a City Zoning Permit and a City Industrial Waste Permit. These are the only operating permits required for this type of business. E. Availability and Adequacy of Public Services: Utilities and services currently available to the rear structure appear to be adequate. Both of Barrett's buildings are supplied with water from a single meter. They also share a common sewer tap. The property is to remain under single ownership. Stone Castle is leasing not purchasing the rear building. Stone Castle's manufacturing process does not rely heavily on water. The primary water and sewer demand will be to accommodate the sanitary needs to the approximately five employees to be working out of the building. The building does have its own restrooms. Impact on water and sewer systems should be minimal. Page 4of4 Planning & Zoning Commission SCU92-002 F. Loading Berths: While this building does not have any loading berths as such, there is a large overhead door with adequate off street maneuvering room to accumulate loading and unloading. There will be no obstruction of pedestrian traffic or visual obstruction of rights -of -way. Conclusion: The request satisfies Zoning Ordinance prerequisites and is therefore, eligible for the requested permit. Staff recommends approval of Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU92-002.

The property is zoned Light Industrial. The purpose of the permit is to allow construction and operation of a concrete batch plant. A Conditional Use Permit is required for this business activity within LI Zones. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this request at its January 21, 1993, public hearing and regular meeting.

Staff, in accordance with Zoning Ordinance requirements, has mailed public hearing notices to all properties located within 200 feet of the tract in question. In the case of this request, notices were mailed to three (3) property owners. As of Monday, February 15, no replies have been received. Should any replies be received prior to February 22, they will be presented to Council during the course of the public hearing.

Box 1 1 1 5 Re: Special Conditional Use Permit Request #SCU93-001 Dear Mayor Malone, PORTE • LA PORTE. TEXAS 77572 The La Porte Planning and Zoning Commission, at its January 21, 1993, public hearing and regular meeting considered Special Conditional Use Permit Request #SCU93-001. This permit has been requested for the purpose of allowing Houston Shell & Concrete, the applicant, to construct and operate a concrete batch plant in a Light Industrial Zone. The proposed site for this plant is 12803 Old La Porte Road. The permit has been requested as required by Section 7-500 of Zoning Ordinance 1501. The Commission, by unanimous vote of members present, has recommended City Council approval of Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU93-001. The Commission has also recommended attaching the following two (2) conditions to this permit. I. The applicant shall install an on site septic system to accomodate sanitary waste. H. All areas currently surfaced with calcium sulfate shall be topped with a material suitable for control of dust. Respectfully Submitted, Betty T. Waters Chairman, Planning and Zoning Commission xc: Robert T. Herrera, City Manager John Armstrong, Assistant City Attorney La Porte Planning and Zoning Commission 0 • Requested For: 12803 Old La Porte Road which is further described as a 1.726 acre tract out of the Enoch Brinson Survey (see Exhibit A). Requested By: Mr. Patton H. Caldwell on behalf of Houston Shell & Concrete Zonin : Light Industrial (LI) Purpose of Request: = A Special Conditional Use Permit is requested to allow construction and operation of a concrete batch plant (SIC 3273) in a Light Industrial Zone. Background: The tract in question is located at the southwestern comer of the Hwy. 225, Hwy. 146 interchange. It is bounded to the west by Strang Road and to the south by the Southern Pacific rail right-of-way (see Exhibit A). The property, which is surfaced with calcium sulfate, has until recently, been used as a parking/marshalling yard for heavy trucks and trailers. The eastern most portion of this tract (the portion which abuts the Hwy. 146 right-of-way) will remain under separate lease and continue to be utilized for this purpose. The property to the north (which is a separate tract) is also used as a trucking facility. This business will continue to operate as well. Houston Shell & Concrete is proposing to set up and operate a 'batch plant" at this location (see Exhibit B). The plant will mix concrete from dry components and water. The wet concrete will then be loaded into trucks which are dispatched to job sites. A somewhat more detailed description of this process has been submitted by the applicant and is attached as Exhibit C. The tract in question is zoned LI. Zoning Ordinance Section 7-500, Table A, lists this business activity as Conditional in LI zones. A Special Conditional Use Permit is, therefore, required. • • Page 2 of 4 Planning & Zoning Commission SCU93-001 Analysis: Zoning Ordinance Section 7-700 establishes "Special Use Performance Standards" which apply to Conditional Uses. These standards, as they apply to this request, will be discussed in this section of staff s report. The text of these standards is too lengthy to be included in this report in full, but can be found on Zoning Ordinance pages 63-64. A. Traffic Control: The proposed site, as noted, was formerly used as a truck marshalling yard. With well over an acre of surfaced area, there is adequate on site parking for both employee's personal vehicles and concrete trucks. The section of Strang Road which connects this site with Hwy. 225 primarily serves industrial traffic; the Southern Pacific rail yard and the trucking firms referenced above. This facility should not have a significant impact on the type or volume of traffic utilizing Strang Road and the adjoining Section of Hwy. 225. B. Drainage: The site in question is already surfaced and graded. Drainage modifications, should any be required, will be addressed during the course of the certified site plan review which takes place prior to issuance of any building permit for new commercial or industrial development. C. Compatibility with Surrounding Area: The tract in question is zoned for industrial use. It is located in a somewhat isolated, secluded area (see Exhibit A). This facility should not cause any impairment to the value or use of the adjoining trucking yards or the Southern Pacific rail yard. The location is isolated enough to preclude impact on other properties. Page 3 of 4 Planning & Zoning Commission SCU93-001 D. Reguired Licenses: Houston Shell & Concrete has applied for and received a permit exemption for plant operation from the Texas Air Control Board (see Exhibit D). The supporting documentation for this letter is in staffs file and is available for the Commission's review. This letter constitutes State approval for operation of this plant. If this request is approved, a City Zoning Permit will also be required. E. Availability and Adequacy of Public Services: There is no potable water or sanitary sewer service to this tract; nor are there water or sewer lines in a location to be readily extended to this site. Electric service is available. The applicants propose to utilize an existing 4" well to provide water for process and sanitary needs. Bottled water is to be provided for drinking. There is additionally, no water available for fire protection. The applicant's request has been reviewed by the City's Fire Marshall and Fire Chief. In their opinion, the proposed plant and its operation should not provide a significant degree of fire hazard. They, therefore, based on fire protection needs, have no objection to approval of the requested permit. Regarding sanitary needs, staff would recommend as a condition of permit approval, the applicant be required to install an on site septic system for employee restroom facilities. F. Loading Berths: This facility has no loading berths as such. The loading chute and material silos are located in a manner that will allow trucks to load, unload, and maneuver on site. There should be no interference with traffic on Strang Road. 0 0 Page 4 of 4 Planning & Zoning Commission SCU93-001 Additional Requirements: As noted, this site is surfaced with calcium sulfate. This material is very stable and provides an excellent base to support heavy truck traffic. It is not, however, dust free. Zoning Ordinance Section 10-605.6 requires driveways, parking lots, and storage yards to be "surfaced to control dust". Staff would recommend that as a condition of permit approval, this site be topped with a material that will provide dust free parking. Conclusion: This request satisfies Zoning Ordinance prerequisites. Subject to the following conditions, staff recommends approval of Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU93-001. I. Applicant shall install an on site septic system to accommodate sanitary waste. IL All areas currently surfaced with calcium sulfate shall be topped with a material suitable for control of dust.

References from the City of Alvin indicated that they had some controversy with Pas Key on a paving project.
