SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The 79th Legislature passed HB 867 which addressed the issue of Sex Offender laws. One of the items
the Bill deleted was the requirement to publish low and moderate sex offenders in the newspaper. This
option has been left to the community to determine whether they wish to continue publishing all levels of
sex offenders as previously required. In addition the requirement for the offender to pay for the cost of
publishing the notice has also been struck from the law.
Action Required bv Council:
To give staff direction as to whether or not they would require all registering sex offenders to be
published in the local newspaper.

Subject:
Consideration Regarding Sex Offenders
There are two issues that I feel that the City Council needs to be aware of and possibly be
brought up in a workshop session. These issues are whether we will publish all registered sex
offenders and the possibility of establishing an ordinance creating a 1,000 foot safety zone for
children.
First, the last legislative session made some changes in the law regarding sex offender
registration. One of the issues that were changed was the requirement to post in a newspaper low
and moderate risk sex offenders. The change still requires us to publish the high risk offender. I
have asked Clark Askins to review this particular issue and he agrees that the requirement to
publish low and moderate risk offenders no longer exists. In discussing this with other Chiefs I
found that some have not been doing it and others are continuing to publish all sex offenders in
their local newspapers. I did talk to the Department of Public Safety and they advise that the
intent was to still publish low and moderate offenders but it was to give the option to the city and
their community as to what they may want. According to them the major cities are still doing it.
Although I agree with Clark Askins that it is not required and in fact completely deleted from the
law, I feel that it should be brought to the Councils attention so they can determine what
direction they wish to proceed. HB 867 made major changes to the Sex Offender Registration
Program and is attached for your consideration.

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The State of Texas under the Code of Criminal Procedure Article 62 established a Sex Offender
Registration Program which governs the requirements of the sex offender and agencies responsible for
registration. In order to create a safety zone for children the Code of Criminal Procedure in Article
42.12(13B) allowed for the creation of a 1,000 foot safety zone where children would commonly gather
as a condition of probation or parole.
Due to concern for recidivism of sex offenders there is a great deal of concern regarding the protection of
La Porte's children from certain sex offenders, specifically those who have been convicted for offenses
against children. A number of cities in Texas and other states have adopted ordinances that create the
safety zone of 1,000 feet around areas where children commonly gather to protect the children of their
respective communities.
This workshop is to receive direction from the City Council as to whether it desires to establish a 1,000
foot safety zone area the areas in La Porte where our children commonly gather. This would be
accomplished by not allowing a sex offender of a child who was less than sixteen (16) at the time of the
offense to live within a 1,000 of areas where children commonly gather.
Action Required bv Council:
Receive direction as to whether or not to draft an ordinance establishing a 1,000 foot safety zone for
children.

Proposed Ordinance for Consideration for Workshop on Sex Offender
Safety Zones.
Purpose of Ordinance:
. Making it unlawful for certain sex offenders to reisde within 1,000 feet of premises
where children gather.
. Providing exceptions
. Prohibiting property owner from renting real property to certain sec offenders
. Providing for a penalty
Whereas:
. The City of La Porte, Texas, (herein the "City"), being a home-rule city having authority
to utilize police power regulation for the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens
of the City: and,
. The City Council is deeply concerned about the numerous and recent occurrences in our
state and elsewhere, whereby sex offenders convicted of sexual offenses involving
children who have been release from custody and repeat the unlawful acts for which they
had been originally convicted; and,
. The City Council finds from the evidence of the recidivism rate for released sex offenders
is alarmingly high, especially for those who commit their crimes against children; and,
. The City is an attractive place for families with young children; and,
. The City Council find that establishing a policy to restrict the property available fro
residence of sex offenders will provide better protection for children gathering in the
City: and,
. Article 42. 12(13B) of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, provides a 1,000 foot safety
zone for children, as a condition of probation for those convicted of certain sexual

· The laws of the State of Texas, including those found in Chapter 51 of the Texas Local
Government Code, and the City charter provide the City authority to adopt ordinance for
the good government, peace, order, and welfare of the municipality
Elements of Ordinance:
. Finding and Intent
o The foregoing recitals are hereby found to be true and correct and are hereby
adopted by the City Council and made a part hereof for all purposes as findings of
fact. Further, the City Council finds that sex offenders that use physical violence
and who are convicted of preying on children are sexual predators who present a
extreme threat to the health, safety and welfare of children. Sex offenders are
likely to use physical violence, to repeat an offense, have many more victims than
are ever reported, are prosecuted for only a fraction of their actual sexual
offenses, and children not only lack the ability to protect themselves but
additional measures should be taken to keep known sex offenders from having
access to children in areas where children generally feel safe.
o It is the intent of this ordinance to serve the city's compelling interest to promote,
protect and improve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City by
creating areas around locations where children regularly congregate in
concentrated number wherein certain registered sex offenders and sexual
predators are prohibited from establishing temporary or permanent residency.
. Definitions
o Permanent residence means a place where the person abides, lodges, or resides for
14 or more consecutive days.
o Temporary residence means a place where the person abides, lodges or resides for
a period of 14 or more days in the aggregate during any calendar year and which
is not the person's permanent address, or a place where the person routinely
abides, resides or lodges for a period of 4 or more consecutive or nonconsecutive
day s in any month and which is not the person's permanent residence.
· Sex Offender Residency Prohibition; Penalty; and Exceptions
o If a person is required to register on the Department of Public Safety's Sex
Offender Database because of a violation involving a victim who was less than
sixteen (16) years of age, it is unlawful for that person to establish a permanent
residence or temporary residence within 1,000 feet of any premise where children
commonly gather, including a playground, school, day care facility, video arcade
facility, public or private youth center, or public swimming pool, as those terms
are defined in Article 481.134 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of
Texas. It shall be prima facie evidence that this chapter applies to such a person if
the person's record appears on the Databases and the Database indicates that the
victim was less than six teen (16) years of age.
9
o For the purpose of determining the minimum distance separation, the requirement
shall be measured by following a straight line from the outer property line of the
permanent or temporary residence to the nearest property line of the premises
where children commonly gather, as described heron, or in the case of multiple
residences an one property, measuring from the nearest wall of the building or
structure occupied or the parking/driveway, which ever is closer to the nearest
property line of the premises where children commonly gather, as described
herein. A map generally depicting the the prohibited areads is attached to this
ordinance for representation purposes. The city shall review the map at least
annually for changes, and it will be available at the La Porte Police Department.
o Penalty. Any person violating a provision of this chapter shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be subject to a fine in accordance with
the general penalty section of the Code of Ordinances.
o Exceptions. Nothing in this ordinance shall be interpreted to modify or reduce the
State's child safety ban. A person, as described in subsection (a), residing within
1,000 feet of those places where children commonly gather does not commit a
violation of this chapter if any of the following apply:
. The person established the permanent or temporary residence and has
complied with all the sex offender registration laws of the State of Texas,
prior to the date of the adoption of this ordinance.
. The person was a minor when he/she committed the offense and was not
convicted as an adult.
· The person is a minor.
. The premises where children commonly gather, as specified herein, within
1,000 feet of the person's permanent or temporary residence was opened
after the person established the permanent or temporary residence and
complied with all sex offender registration laws of the State of Texas.
. The person proves that the information on the Database is incorrect and
that, if corrected, this chapter would not apply to the person.
. Property Owners Prohibited from Renting Real Property to Sex Offenders; Penalty.
o It is unlawful to let or rent any place, structure or part thereof, manufactured
home, trailer, or other conveyance, with the knowledge that it will be used as a
permanent residence or temporary residence by any person prohibited from
establishing such permanent residence or temporary residence pursuant to the
terms of this chapter, if such place, structure or part thereof, manufactured home,
trailer, or other conveyance is located within 1,000 feet, as defined in this
ordinance, of any premises where children commonly gather, including a
playground, school, day care facility, video arcade facility, public or private youth
center, or public swimming pool, as those terms are defined in Article 481.134 of
the Health and Safety Code of the State of Texas.
o Penalty. Any person, firm or corporation violating a provision of this chapter
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be subject to a fine in
accordance with the general penalty section of the Code of Ordinances.
. Severability.
o Should any section or part of this ordinance be held unconstitutional, illegal, or
invalid, or the application to any person or circumstance for any reason thereof
ineffective or inapplicable, such unconstitutionality, illegality, invalidity, or
ineffectiveness of such section or part shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate
the remaining portion or portions thereof; but as to such remaining portion or
portions, the same shall be and remain in full force and effect and to this end the
provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable.

found that some have not been doing it and others are continuing to publish all sex offenders in
their local newspapers. I did talk to the Department of Public Safety and they advise that the
intent was to still publish low and moderate offenders but it was togive the option to the city and
their community as to what they may want. According to them the major cities are still doing it.
Although I agree with Clark Askins that it is not required and in fact completely deleted from the
law, 1 feel that it should be brought to the Councils attention so they can determine what
direction they wish to proceed. HB 867 made major changes to the Sex Offender Registration
Program and is attached for your consideration.
Second is the issue of the 1000 foot safety zone ordinance to prevent sex offenders of children
from living within 1,000 feet of a place where children commonly gather and play.
The City Council of Brazoria passed an Ordinance 05-008 on August 15, 2005 establishing a
1,000 foot 'safety zone' for areas in which children may gather within their City. The premise
authorizing the creation of the Ordinance is based on the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure
Article 42.12 (13b) which provides for a 1,000 foot safety zone for children, as a condition of
probation for those convicted of certain sexual offenses (I added the bold face as it has a
factor to play in deciding whether or not this City will adopt a similar ordinance). In addition the
ordinance refers to Chapter 51 of the Local Government Code that provides the City authority to
adopt ordinances for the good government, peace, order and welfare of the municipality.
My initial concern was that under the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure (CCP) the authority to
establish a 1,000 foot safety zone was invested in the presiding Judge as a term of punishment

and or condition of probation or parole. This term of condition is set by the court in rendering
judgment during the punishment phase after the person has been found guilty of the offense.
Once that person has met or completed the terms of his probation or paroles those penalties or
conditions are no longer valid. The only factor that remains forever with the offender is the
requirement that he must register with his local Police Department as a Sex Offender.
In some cases the CCP has provisions in which the Judge can set aside the 1,000 safety zone in
his initial findings or upon hearing an appeal lift the restriction. It appears that the 1,000 foot
safety zone is a JUDICAL requirement established by a Judge in his fmdings and is limited by
the terms of the punishment rendered by the court.
In checking around I was advised that when the ASHLEY Bill was originally introduced that this
condition was initially submitted that a sex offender cannot live or be within a 1,000 feet of an
area where children gather or play. According to the information I was given, the Senate's legal
advisors apparently looked at the restriction as if applied to a person who was discharged from
probation or parole. They did feel that applying those restrictions on those discharged would not
withstand constitutional challenge. The legislature did feel that a 100 foot restriction would
withstand constitutional scrutiny. I have asked for various opinions from through the Child
Assessment Center and to date have not gotten anything back, other than some research
information on recidivism of sex offenders. I am including some of these articles for your
consideration and you will find argument that sex offenders (low and medium risk offenders) are
low and in the same article see that the figure may not be accurate as not all offenses are
reported.
I asked Senator Mike Jackson for some help in perhaps locating these attorneys that gave legal
advice to the Senate on the Ashley Bill. Senator Jackson was unaware that some of our Texas
cities have passed such an ordinance and was also concerned about the constitutionality of such
an ordinance. His office did contact me and they advised that in talking to the legal staff they
were also unaware that such an ordinance has been passed by Texas cities. They recommended
caution in adopting the ordinance at this time and that it would be prudent to take a wait and see
attitude on what happens next. In addition there will be stronger bills submitted to the
Legislature regarding sex offenders in the future.
I have also been made aware of a suit file by the ACLU against Taylor Falls, Minnesota for this
particular issue and according to the press ACLU intends to file suits against any other entity
having the same ordinance or law. The basis of their suit is the constitutionality of the
ordinance. Several of my officers have advised me recently that on the radio they have heard
attorneys asking for anyone who has been fmancially affected by the 1,000 foot safety zone
ordinances to contact them. It appears that there is an organized group looking for cases to
challenge the constitutionality of this type of ordinance.
In looking at the ordinance I have obtained a copy of Brazoria's Ordinance and now Alvin. They
are basically the same and rely on the same justification. In their ordinances they do provide
certain exceptions which are the same:
this will greatly reduce the area in which a person who will be expected to comply with the
ordinance.
I will get with Clark Askins and draft a similar ordinance for consideration if the Council elects
to bring this issue into a work shop in June.

Submitted for your consideration.
Exceptions: A person residing within 1000 feet of those places where children commonly
gather, as specified herein does not commit a violation of this ordinance if any of the following
apply:
1. The person established the permanent or temporary residence and has complied with all
the sex offender registration laws of the State of Texas, prior to the date of the adoption
of this ordinance.
2. The person was a minor when he/she committed the offinse and was not convicted as an
adult.
3. The person is a minor.
4. The premise where children commonly gather, as specified herein, within 1,000 feet of
the person's permanent or temporary residence was opened after the person established
the permanent or temporary residence and complied with all sex offinder registration
laws of the State of Texas
5. (Alvin's addition) The person proves that the information on the Database in incorrect
and that, if corrected, this chapter would not apply to the person.
The exceptions provided by in both of the ordinances seem to address some issues regarding
certain sex offenders who may have been convicted prior to the ordinance adoption, and if
convicted as a minor. Under the Texas Family Code a child is defined as being less than 18
years of age and the parents are required to support the Child. Under the Texas Penal Code a
child is less than 17 years of age and can be prosecuted as an adult at 15. Juveniles who are
convicted and are required to register for 10 years after the discharge from supervision. A
limitation on Sexual Assault and Indecency with a Child is 10 years past the victim's 18th
birthday if the offender committed the offense before his 17th birthday. We have recently
presented a case before the District Attorney in which a 25 year old committed an offence when
he was 16 years of age. The point being is that there are a number of factors to consider when
applying the exceptions.
Consider the issue of an individual who was convicted of a sexual offense at the age of 16 and
who is now 20 and is relocating to this city. This person would of course have to register and
based on the exceptions he can live within the 1,000 foot safety zone. What happens if this same
person was classified as a high risk level based on the nature of the offense and the probability of
reoccurrence? In this particular case that person upon registering would be published in the
paper as a high risk but would still not be in violation of the Brazoria and Alvin ordinances.
One of the issues that keeps coming up, and would have to be addressed when presenting this
ordinance in an open meeting, would be the circumstances of the sex offender who has to
register but is considered a low or medium risk. As an example, a 17 year old boy attends a
party and for one reason or another goes off with a young lady he truly believes is of age and
they have mutual consenting sex. After the parents fmd out and complain the boy finds that the
young lady is only 15 and now he is faced with being charged and subsequently convicted as a
sex offender and will be required to register as a sex offender for at least 10 years after being
discharged of his probation. This situation is often classified as a low risk offender and this type
of scenario is probably a reason for the requirement of publishing low and medium sex offender
has been struck from the law. In this same scenario, the offender was convicted as an adult and
cannot live within 1,000 feet of a area where child gather or play, but under the Family Code his
parents have to provide for him until he is at least 18! He will be in violation; will he be required
to move?
Another scenario to consider: What if a person from another part of the state relocates his
business to La Porte to be closer to the port and his business will employ a number of our
citizens. The business is established and the person decides to move to La Porte and buys a
$200,000 home. He then comes to the Police Department to register as a sex offender of a child
of 15 years of age and has been assessed as a low risk violator. When he registers it is
determined that the residence is 250 inside a 1,000 foot safety zone, what do we tell him?
Another part of the ordinance is a section that both Brazoria and Alvin adopted that addresses the
prohibition of property owners from let or rent any place or structure to a person with the
knowledge that it will be used as a temporary or permanent residence by a person prohibited
from residing within 1,000 feet from where children gather or play.
Under the CCP Chapter 62 Sex Offender Registration Program Section 62.056( e):
An owner, builder, seller, or lessor of a single-family residential real property or any
improvement to residential real property or that person's broker, salesperson, or other agent or
representative in a residential real estate transaction does not have a duty to make a disclosure
to a prospective buyer or If!ssee about registrants under this chapter. To the extent of any
conflict between this subsection and another law imposing a duty to disclose information about
registered sex offinders, this subsection controls.
This particular section protects a real estate broker or lessor from the necessity of telling a
purchaser of any sex offender registrants. In the Brazoria and Alvin ordinances they are holding
the land owner, lessor liable under penalty for leasing, renting or selling temporary or permanent
residence to a sex offender if that property is within the 1,000 foot rule. This will require a
lessor or land owner to determine if a person or a member of the person's family is a sex
offender of a child before they can close any deal, or they could be fmed if it is determined that
the individual is a adult sex offender of a child.
This ordinance is becoming very popular and a number of other cities are considering adopting
it. I suspect that it will be a major discussion issue with our citizens when brought before
council in a workshop I just want to make sure that we have our eyes open it we choose to take
this path.
GIS has plotted the 1,000 foot safety zone around all of the areas within the City of La Porte that
would establish where a child sex offender may be able to live. This is also attached for your
review and you will see that the area available is more limited than imagined. What would the
effect be for those who live outside the safety zones when they learn that these particular
offenders can only live in their neighborhoods? In drafting this document I realized that in
creating the 1,000 foot safety zone I did not consider the school bus stops for GIS to plot. I will
endeavor to obtain a location for the school bus stops to add to the current map. I suspect that

ORDINANCE NO. 06-M
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ALVIN, TEXAS MAKING IT
UNLAWFUL FOR CERTAIN SEX OFFENDERS TO RESIDE WITHIN
1,000 FEET OF PREMISES WHERE CIDLDREN GATHER; PROVIDING
EXCEPTIONS; PROHIBITING PROPERTY OWNERS FROM RENTING
REAL PROPERTY TO CERTAIN SEX OFFENDERS; PROVIDING FOR
A PENALTY; PROVIDING FINDINGS OF FACT AND OTHER
MATTERS RELATED THERETO.
WHEREAS, the City of Alvin, Texas, (herein the "City"), being a home-rule city having
authority to utilize police power regulation for the health, safety and general welfare of the
citizens of the City; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council is deeply concerned about the numerous and recent occurrences in
our state and elsewhere, whereby sex offenders convicted of sexual offenses involving children,
who have been released from custody and repeat the unlawful acts for which they had been
originally convicted; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council finds from the evidence the recidivism rate for released sex
offenders is alarmingly high, especially for those who commit their crimes against children; and,
WHEREAS, the City is becoming an increasingly attractive place for families with young
children; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that establishing a policy to restrict the property available
for residence of sex offenders will provide better protection for children gathering in the City;
and
WHEREAS, Article 42.12(13B) ofthe Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, provides a 1,000 foot
safety zone for children, as a condition of probation for those convicted of certain sexual
offenses; and
WHEREAS, the laws of the State of Texas, including those found in Chapter 51 of the Texas
Local Government Code, and the City Charter provide the City authority to adopt ordinances for
the good government, peace, order, and welfare of the municipality; NOW THEREFORE,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALVIN, TEXAS:
Section 1. That the Code of Ordinances, City of Alvin, Texas is hereby amended by adding a
chapter, to be numbered Chapter 30'i'Z, Regulation of Sex Offender Residency, which said
chapter reads as follows:
"CHAPTER 30 Y2, REGULATION OF SEX OFFENDER RESIDENCY
Sec. 30 Y2 -1. Finding and Intent.
The foregoing recitals are hereby found to be true and correct and are hereby adopted by the City
Council and made a part hereof for all purposes as findings of fact. Further, the City Council finds
that sex offenders that use physical violence and who are convicted of preying on children are
sexual predators who present an extreme threat to the health, safety and welfare of children. Sex
offenders are likely to use physical violence, to repeat an offense, have many more victims than
are ever reported, are prosecuted for only a fraction of their actual sexual offenses, and children
not only lack the ability to protect themselves but additional measures should be taken to keep
known sex offenders from having access to children in areas where children generally feel safe.
It is the intent of this ordinance to serve the city's compelling interest to promote, protect and
improve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City by creating areas around
locations where children regularly congregate in concentrated numbers wherein certain
registered sex offenders and sexual predators are prohibited from establishing temporary or
permanent residency.
See. 30 Y2 -2. Definitions.
The following words, terms, and phrases; when used in this section, shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning;
"Permanent residence" means a place where the person abides, lodges or resides for 14 or more
consecutive days.
"Temporary residence" means a place where the person abides, lodges or resides for a period of
14 or more days in the aggregate during any calendar year and which is not the person's
permanent address, or a place where the person routinely abides, resides or lodges for a period of
4 or more consecutive or nonconsecutive days in any month and which is not the person's
permanent residence.
Sec. 30 Y2 -3. Sex Offender Residency Prohibition; Penalty; and Exceptions.
(a) If a person is required to register on the Department of Public Safety's Sex Offender
Database because of a violation involving a victim who was less than sixteen (16) years of
age, it is unlawful for that person to establish a permanent residence or temporary residence
within 1,000 feet of any premise where children commonly gather, including a playground,
school, day care facility, video arcade facility, public or private youth center, or public
swimming pool, as those terms are defmed in Article 481.134 of the Health and Safety Code
of the State of Texas. It shall be prima facie evidence that this chapter applies to such a
person if the person's record appears on the Database and the Database indicates that the
victim was less than sixteen (16) years of age.

if any of the following apply:
(1) The person established the permanent or temporary residence and has
complied with all the sex offender registration laws of the State of
Texas, prior to the date of the adoption of this ordinance.
(2) The person was a minor when he/she committed the offense and was not
convicted as an adult.
(3) The person is a minor.

JACKSON, TEXAS:
SECTION 1: That Chapter 77 of the Code of Ordinances is hereby established
to read as follows:
Chapter 77: Sexual Offenders
Sec. 77-1 Findings and Intent
Repeat sexual offenders, sexual offenders that use physical violence and sexual
offenders who prey on children are sexual predators who present an extreme
threat to the public safety. Sexual offenders are extremely likely to use physical
violence and to repeat their offenses and most sexual offenders commit many
offenses, have many more victims than are ever reported, and are prosecuted for
only a fraction of their crimes. This makes the cost of sexual offender
victimization to society at large, while incalculable, clearly exorbitant.
It is the intent of this ordinance to serve the city's compelling interest to promote,
protect and improve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City by
creating areas around locations where children regularly congregate in
concentrated numbers wherein certain sexual offenders and sexual predators are
prohibited from establishing temporary or permanent residences.
Sec. 77-2 Definitions
The following words, terms, and phrases, when used in this section, shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly
indicates a different meaning:
"Permanent residence" means a place where the sexual offender abides,
lodges or resides for 14 or more consecutive days.
'Temporary residence" means a place where the sexual offender abides,
lodges or resides for a period of 14 or more days in the aggregate during
any calendar year and which is not the person's permanent address, or a
place where the person routinely abides, resides or lodges for a period of
4 or more consecutive or nonconsecutive days in any month and which is
not the person's permanent residence.
Sec. 77-3 Sexual Offenders Residence Prohibition; Penalties; Exceptions
a) If a person is required to register on the Department of Public Safety's Sex
Offender Database because of a violation involving a victim who was less
than sixteen (16) years of age, it is unlawful for the person to establish a
permanent residence or temporary residence within 1000 feet of any
premises where children commonly gather, including but not limited to, a
school, day care facility, playground, public or private youth center, public
swimming pool, video arcade facility, or children's oriented eating
establishments, as those terms are defined in Article 481.134 of the
Health and Safety Code of the State of Texas. It shall be prima facie
evidence that this chapter applies to such a person if the person's record
appears on the Database and the Database indicates that the victim was
less than sixteen (16) years of age.
b) For the purpose of determining the minimum distance separation, the
requirement shall be measured by following a straight line from the outer
property line of the permanent or temporary residence to the nearest
property line of the premises where children commonly gather, as
described herein.
c) A sexual offender described in Section 77-3(a), above, shall on each
October 30th and 31st between the hours of 4 pm and 11 pm display a sign
with at least 2 inch lettering on all accessible exterior doors of his or her
residence stating "Sexual Predator Residence" and leave an exterior light
on so that the sign is visible.
d) Penalties. Any person, firm or corporation who violates this ordinance
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be
punished by a fine not to exceed FIVE HUNDRED AND NO/100'S
DOLLARS ($500.00).
e) Exceptions. A person residing within 1000 feet of those places where
children commonly gather, as specified herein does not commit a violation
of this ordinance if any of the following apply:
(1) The person established the permanent or temporary residence and
has complied with all the sex offender registration laws of the State of
Texas, prior to the date of the adoption of this ordinance.
(2) The person was a minor when he/she committed the offense and was
not convicted as an adult.
(3) The person is a minor.
(4) The premises where children commonly gather, as specified herein,
within 1000 feet of the person's permanent or temporary residence
was opened after the person established the permanent or temporary
residence and complied with all sex offender registration laws of the
State of Texas.
Sec. 77-4: Property Owners Prohibited from Renting Real Property to Sexual
Offenders; Penalties
a) It is unlawful to let or rent any place, structure or part thereof,
manufactured home, trailer, or other conveyance, with the knowledge that
it will be used as a permanent residence or temporary residence by any
person prohibited from establishing such permanent residence or
temporary residence pursuant to the terms of this ordinance, if such place,
structure or part thereof, manufactured home, trailer, or other conveyance,.
is located within 1000 feet of any premises where children commonly

SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
A representative from Buxton will be at the June 12 workshop. They will review the information generated for the three
intersections selected.
o State Highway 146 @ Fairmont Parkway
o Bay Area Blvd. @ Spencer Highway
o Canada Road @ Fairmont Parkway
The next step will be to select one of the sites for the next phase of the project. Please note that the recommendation by Buxton
is strictly based on the market characteristics and the retail potential as determined by their analysis. Their recommendation
does not take into consideration limitations related to cost, environment, engineering, infrastructure, ownership, land
availability or any weighting given to traffic counts.
Staff has provided comments regarding the three sites and the analysis to date. Excerpts from the study are included in your
material. The full report with appendices is available in the Council's mail room or upon request.
Action Reauired bv Council:
To provide direction regarding selection of one intersection for completing the study.
Approved for City Couucil A2enda

Date
Comments/Considerations Regarding Buxton Retail Site Determination
Site 3 (Canada road @ Fairmont Parkway)
o The first analysis of Site 3 is based on Canada Road as it exists today.
o A supplemental analysis of site 3(a) assumes Canada Road as opened through to
Geneoa Red Bluff
o For each of these analyses there are a number of households whose shopping profiles
may be met at other existing locations that may be closer in drive time i.e. Beltway 8
and Fairmont Parkway, Baybrook Mall, and Almeda Mall. Ifthis is the case then the
analysis for site 3 & 3a may be overstated (and possibly the same for site 1 & 2 to a
lesser degree).
OWe asked Buxton if this could be estimated. Buxton noted that this effort to look at
duplication/cannibalism will be addressed in the next phase as individual retailers are
looked at for their potential.
o Total commercial area at this intersection is 34 acres; 16 acres to the East and 18
acres to the West of Canada Road. The 18 acre site and another site to the northwest
is hampered by a pipeline crossing the properties.
o The City's proposed 33 acre park makes up the remaining open acreage.
o The area is completely built out. No more land available for conventional
subdivisions. ETJ is to the south of Fairmont Parkway, which is an industrial in
nature or owned by the Harris County Flood Control District, or the site of the
proposed joint venture sports complex with Pasadena.
o However, for discussion purposes comments regarding site 3 segments are:
o The following segments were only found at site 3 - (noting that the western
boundary of 1 and 2 is very similar)
· 22 young influentials
· 30 suburban sprawl
· 39 domestic duos
· 52 suburban pioneers
Added up these account for 5,770 households - if the needs ofthese segments are
met at Beltway 8 and Fairmont (can we tell?) - then will they drive past Beltway
8 or drive further to get to site 3? - If not, would we not need to conceptually
subtract these form site 3?
Likewise-segments not in 1 but in 2 - (must be at more westerly end of site 2)
· 15 pools and patios
· 36 blue chip blues
· 44 new beginnings
These added up another 4,149 - as above - if needs are satisfied at Beltway 8
would they drive past Beltway 8 or drive further to site 3?
If 100% of the needs are met at Beltway 8 this translates to a reduction of9,919
households. If 50% then 4,960 etc.
Site 2 (Bay Area Boulevard @ Spencer Highway)
o There is approximately 40 acres commercial/retail site available at this intersection.
o Location of new Police Department building and future Municipal Courts will
generate more traffic and may provide extra support to this trade area.
o Based on prevailing winds, site is upwind from an industrial area.
Site 1 (State Highway 146 @ Fairmont Parkway)
o Currently, this site is viewed as a location to promote commercial activity (La Porte
Comprehensive Plan)
o There are approximately 100 acres of commercial/retail land at this location.
o 70% of the land is occupied by the major commercial/retail, 30% is available for
potential commercial/retail, business purposes.
o Some of the area is within the TIRZ boundaries which may enhance opportunity for
incentives relating to infrastructure.
o The traffic counts on Fairmont Parkway are 24, 217i. and on SH 146 are 56,500.
o Based on prevailing winds, site is downwind from an Industrial area.
o New development (households) is planned within site 1 polygon.
o Lakes at Fairmont Greens - 411 homes
o Preserve at Taylor Bayou - 180 apartments, 56 homes
o Retreat at Bay Forest - 28 homes

Buxton has I"eviewed the three sites provided by the City of La Porte Oil the basis of retail
recruitment potential. This Retail Site Oetemlinationbooklet features maps of each site's
trade area and an analysis contributing to this ,"ecoh,ri1~rrcfufi'on.
I
Buxton has selected Site 3 (Canada Rd & Fairmont Parkway) as having the best overall retail
trade potential. While all three sites share similar psychographic profiles, Site 3 has more
households than the other two trade areas, a higher count of dominant segments in its
trade area and a larger pool of buying power. Although Site I has higher traffic counts, Site
3 surpasses all other sites with an estimated retail trade potential value in excess of $2.1
billion dollars.

This recommendation is based on the market characteristlcs'and retail potential of the sites

To begin the CommunityJD process, the City of La Porte selected three sites to be analyzed
and ranked for possible retail development or revitalization. The locations of the three sites
are shown on the opposite page.
The next task for the sponsoring organization is to select one of the three sites
for a more detailed analysis and determination of retail firms that will best
match the consumers in La Porte's trade area.
To aid in the decision-making process to select the best site, Buxton has ranked the retail
potential of the three sites based on the following analyses:
. A twelve minute drive-time trade area was delineated for each site
. The customers in each trade area were segmented according to buying habits and
lifestyles
. A profile of La Porte's customers within each of the three trade areas was
developed
. The retail demand for more than 400 products and services was determined for
each potential trade area
-
The purpose of these analyses is to develop La Porte's Customer Profile. The Customer
Profile is a snapshot of the customers that reside in La Porte's trade area. Even though
these consumers are complex and diverse, Buxton is able to capture and catalogue the
extent to which potential demand for retailer's goods and services are concentrated in the
trade area.
By overlaying La Porte's Customer Profile with over 4,500 retail matching profiles in
Buxton's proprietary database, we are able to identify major categories of retail that are
candidates for location in La Porte. This matching provides the basis for determining La
Porte's viability to attract retailers and restaurants and forms the basis for Buxton's
recommendations and conclusions.
With this analysis and Buxton's recommendations, the City of La Porte can make a more
informed decision about investments in infrastructure and can focus resources on areas of
higher retail development potential.
