Public Notice Response
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission, during its March 15,2007, meeting, held a public hearing to receive citizen
comments regarding Special Conditional Use Permit Request #SCU07-002. The request, submitted by Mr. Richard
Ogrin on behalf of Methodist Retirement Communities, Inc., seeks approval of a Special Conditional Use Permit
(SCUP) to build a nursing home on an approximate 7 acre tract of land described as TR 719 and E Yz of TR 718, La
Porte OutIots. The subject property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD), which requires a Special
Conditional Use Permit
The Methodist Retirement Communities, Inc. purchased the 7-acre tract along Underwood Road south of Caniff Road, to
develop a nursing home and a future senior assisted living facility. The company has a plan for 98 bed health care
facility, which includes six "neighborhoods" with 16 residents each. The facility will include MedicarelMedicaid
certified nursing beds. Possible future development may include hospice suites at the facility. The primary access will
be along Underwood Road with secondary access along CaniffRoad. Due to the neighboring residences to the north, the
proposed development shall be screened from view of the adjoining residential district. Upon approval of the General
Plan and Special Conditional Use Permit, the applicant would be authorized to submit a certified sitefi/ pan tI r the
proposed development. t/ f6-C
Staff has found the request satisfies all applicable ordinance requirements. The property is surrounded by
low-density residential developments, an apartment complex, and mixture of commercial uses at this intersection.
The land use plan shows this area developing as residential and commercial uses. The facility would be compatible
with the surrounding properties and should not be injurious to the use, enjoyment or value of those properties.
Eighteen (18) notices of public hearing were mailed to neighboring property owners. One favorable response was
received in this regard.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, by unanimous vote, has recommended City Council approval of Special
Conditional Use Permit #SCU07-002 with the conditions as listed in the SCUP.
Action Required bv Council:
1. Conduct public hearing.
2. Consider Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to approve Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU
07-002 for proposed nursing home to be located within a PUD.

use per Section 106-441; Table A, Commercial Uses of the Code of Ordinances.
Process Products, Inc. has been in business in La Porte for over twenty years. The nature of business pertains to
restrictive valves, refurbishing, pre-testing, and supplying to area industries. Over the past years, the number of
employees increased with the tremendous growth of business. Parking has remained a concern for this facility. There
are numerous times when private vehicles are parked in front of the existing facility along the shoulders ofN. 8th
Street and West Polk Street within the public right-of-way. Process Products has purchased this property to provide
parking for its employees and contract workers. Off-site parking will serve as auxiliary parking and will help alleviate
parking problems associated with the business. In addition, there is no other reasonable site available nearby.
The proposed location for off-site parking is within 300 feet of the principal building. The parking lot will be
constructed in accordance with City's standard specifications. Landscaping and screening shall be required as per
Section 106-444(a) of the Code of Ordinances of the City.
Eleven (11) notices of public hearing were mailed to neighboring property owners. One response was received in
favor of the SCUP. The Planning and Zoning Commission, by unanimous vote, recommends City Council
approval of Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU07-003 with the conditions listed in the SCUP.
Action Required bv Council:
1. Conduct public hearing.
2. Consider Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to approve Special Conditional Use Permit
#SCU07-003 for off-site parking for Process Product.
