CITY OF LA PORTE
INTER-OFFICE MEMOP.ANDUM
MAYOR & CITY COMMISSION
FROM• PLANNIPIG & ZONING COMMISSION
PAT MUSTON, CHAIRA4AN
SUBJECT:
DATE: OCTOBER 23, 1979
BLOCK 727, LA PORTE ADDITION
REQUEST FOR REZONING FROM COMMERCIAL
TO INDUSTRIAL, PIERSIDE INDUSTRIES, INC.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends rezoning of Block 727
from Commercial to Light Industrial. Since the City does not
presently have such a classification, the recommendation must be
to rezone to Industrial, with use limited to light industry.
At the present time the property bears a.Commercial classification,
with a special use permit to allow light industry similar in nature
to container repair operations.
The Planning and Zoning Commission does not wish to discourage an
experienced company such as Pierside Industries, Inc., from
• operating in the City of La Porte. We feel that the "know-how" of
this company will set an example for similar industries to follow.
We have been assured that the location will not cause any traffic
hazard or nuisance to neighboring properties.
It is reasonable to expect that such a firm will not complete purchase
of the property, nor make needed improvements to the property under the
temporary and limiting terms of a special use permit.
We therefore recommended rezoning to Industrial, with use limited to
light industry.
Respectfully submitted,
Pat Muston ~~
