VIII. STAFF REPORT
A. MINOR PLATS AND AMENDING PLATS
Mr. Kneupper discussed a proposed amendment to the
Development Ordinance that would allow staff to approve minor
plats (involving four or fewer lots fronting on an existing street and
not requiring the creation or the extension of municipal facilities).
He informed the Commission that the amendment was sent to
Council for their consideration on October 26, 1998, at which time
Council tabled the item and directed it back to the Commission to
look at a size of lot or acreage restriction.
Staff recommended imposing a ten -acre limit on the size of lot or
acreage to the proposed amendment.
The Commission agreed with staffs recommendation. The item will
be sent to the next Council meeting.
Mr. Kneupper gave a brief update on the progress that has been
made updating the Comprehensive Plan.

questions he thinks should be answered before the City makes a
decision to create a TIRZ.

Staff Report December 17,1998
Zone Change Request #98-003
Requested by: Joe M. Furlow, Owner
Requested for: Tracts 302A and 302B; LaPorte Outlots
cation: 1600 Block of Sens Road
Present Zoning: Mid Density Residential (R-2)
Requested ZoninE: General Commecial (GC)
Background: The property in question is located in the 1600 Block of Sens Road, La
Porte, Harris County, Texas. The said property is further described by the
Harris County Appraisal District as tracts 301A, 302A and 302B, La Porte
outlots.
An, alysis: The purpose of rezoning is to allow construction of a storage building for the
expansion of an existing business. The staff in reviewing the applicant's
request found it to be reasonable. The current land use shows the area to be
intended for commercial use. However, the city has been consistent with
providing a portion of general commercial along the major roads within the
city limits. However, the following aspects should be considered for granting
a rezoning request.
• Ability of infrastructure to support the permitted use.
• Impact on the surrounding land uses.
The area in which the subject tract, based on the criteria
established by the city's comprehensive plan, is suitable for either present use
or the requested general commercial.
The zoning change would not have a significant impact on traffic conditions
in the area. Moreover, utilities would not significantly be affected.
Furthermore, the tract is bounded by an existing residential and
general commercial. A storm sewer of HCFD, which can serve as a buffer
zone, is running on the west of the said tract. The change from R2 to GC
have no impact on the future development within the general commercial
zone. The development within the subject tract should not impact the
viability of the surrounding area.
•
u
Conclusion: There was no apparent error in assigning the present zoning designation to
the tract in question. By virtue of location and underlying land use
designation, it does satisfy the criteria established for general commercial
zoning. If the applicant is able to demonstrate that the requested zoning
would represent the highest and best use of the property, granting the
requested change would not be contrary to the goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan.

Final Plat for Zelda Wright Subdivision
Requested By: Otis Wright & Zelda Wright, Owners
Requested For: 1.1857 Acres of land out of and part of Outlot 490, La Porte Outlots, as
Recorded in Volume 61, Page 374 of the H.C.D.R, and Volume 1, Page 33
of the H.C.D.R, in the Nicholas Clopper Survey, A-198 and the Enoch
Brinson Survey, A-5, City of LaPorte, Harris County, Texas.
Location: 2201 Underwood Road
Present Zoning: General Commercial (G.C.) and Low Density Residential (R-1)
Background: The proposed subdivision is a 1.1857 acres tract of property Iocated
at 2201 Underwood Road. The property is being platted as a single lot
commercial subdivision. The plat includes an existing 10 ft storm sewer
easement and 25 ft building line along H street and Underwood Road as
per city ordinance.
Analysis: Based on the acreage involved, the proposed subdivision, under the terms
of Development Ordinance No.1444, classified as a minor subdivision.
Due to the size and simplicity of the subdivision, the developer has elected
to present the plat in final form. This is permitted per Development
Ordinance No.1444. Given the fact that the subdivision will be comprised
of a single lot, a property owner's association will not be required. Neither
will covenants or deed restrictions be necessary. Based on its designation
as a commercial subdivision, dedication or payment in lieu or space for
park will not be required.
Staff has reviewed the final plat and found it to be in substantial
compliance with applicable ordinance requirements. staff has also
reviewed the plat for conformance with zoning regulations and the goals
and objectives of the city's comprehensive plan.
Staff reviewed existing utilities and found them to be adequate to facilitate
the subdivision.
Conclusion: Staff based on its review find the final plat to be substantial compliance
with applicable city regulations. Staff recommends the approval of the
final plat.
