Staff Report Preliminary Plat November 21, 2002
for
San Jacinto Estates
Requested Action: Consideration of Preliminary Plat for San Jacinto Estates
Requested BY. W. Dean Lawther
Requested For: A 4.005 acre subdivision of Reserve `B' of Brookglen Subdivision, Section
2, Vol. 167, PG. 115, William Jones Survey, Abstract482, City of La Porte,
Harris County, Texas.
Location: Scotch Moss Lane at Oakhaven Road in the Brookglen Subdivision
Rea nested Use: Residential Subdivision — (Single Family Dwellings)
Present Zoning: Low -Density Residential (R-1)
Background: Mr. Dean Lawther recently purchased this 4-acre tract to develop a single-
family residential subdivision. The property is located at the southeast comer
of Scotch Moss Lane and Oakhaven Road. The tract is bounded on the north
and east with Brookglen Subdivision, Section Two, the south and west end
are adjacent to Oakhaven and Scotch Moss Lane respectively. The plat
includes a 50' street to the proposed subdivision from Oakhaven Road.
Reserve "A" is restricted -for proposed detention.
Generally, minor plats, that meet specific criteria, can be approved by the
Director of Planning. In this case, a new street and 16 lots are being created;
this requires review and approval by the Commission.
Analysis: Section. 4.03 and Appendix D of the Development Ordinance- establish
review criteria for the subdivision. Staff reviewed the plat and found it
complies with applicable Development Ordinance' requirements, the Zoning
Ordinance, and Comprehensive Plan.
Land Use — The project's proposed residential use conforms to the character
of the surrounding land uses and the R-1 zoning district. Properties adjacent
to the site are single-family residential with some duplexeshownhouses
along Scotch Moss and Oakhaven Road. The Reserve `A"(0.695 acre) at the
southeast corner of the subdivision along Oakhaven Road, is restricted for
detention purposes.
Preliminary Plat
San Jacinto Estates
Page 2 of 3
Transportation/Interior Circulation — The proposed project is situated
approximately 1500' south of Spencer I-Eghway. The main access to the
proposed subdivision is along Oakhaven Road at Scotch, Moss Lane.
Spencer Highway, a major thoroughfare with 100' of ROW, should easily
accommodate the traffic generated by this development. The proposed
subdivision will have one internal cul-de-sac street. The street right-of-way
(ROW) will be 50'.
Sidewalks — To. ensure safe pedestrian mobility, the developer needs to
construct sidewalks along both sides of the public street within the
subdivision and along both Scotch Moss Lane and Oakhaven Road ROWs.
Currently, sidewalks exist on both sides and stop at this property.
Parks and Recreation — Section 12.0 of the City's Development Ordinance
requires the developer to provide on -site open space and recreational space at
one acre per 160 proposed dwelling units. If necessary, fees in lieu of
parkland, at $175 per dwelling unit, may be paid to the City.. This
subdivision is proposed with 16 lots. The formula generates an area smaller
than one acre. As a result, it is impractical for public park purposes.
Utilities — Area water'and sewer facilities can sufficiently provide service to
this proposed development. The developer is responsible for providing all
necessary public infrastructure (structures or improvements) to
accommodate the subdivision's water and. sanitary sewer needs. The design
and construction of all water and sewer systems shall be in conformance
with the City's Development Ordinance.
Drainage The drainage from the Brookglen Subdivision discharges into
Willow Spring Gully, which is a tributary of Armand Bayou. Both systems
are subject to severe flooding. As . a result, the runoff' from all new
developments within this watershed must be discharged without increasing .
the existing water surface elevation.
The proposed development is designed so that all storm drainage flows
directly into an on -site detention (Reserve `A'). The pond's size and capacity
are reviewed to ensure that it can adequately serve the proposed
development without burdening the existing system. The developer shall
provide all the necessary easements required for maintenance -and proper
drainage including storm water inlets.

Conclusion and
Recommendation: The PreliminaryPlat is in accordance with. 'the. City's development
regulations. Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat with the
following conditions:
• Construction drawings shall indicate off -site drainage improvements to
ensure proper drainage of the adjacent properties.
• The developer is responsible for installation of sidewalks along both
sides of a public street within the. subdivision and portions of the Scotch
Moss Lane and Oakhaven Road ROWs.
Options available to. -the Commission are as follows:
• Approval of the Preliminary Plat authorizes the developer to submit a
Final Plat.
• Conditional approval -of the Preliminary Plat requires submission of an
amended Preliminary Plat and additional documentation as specified by
the Commission for final Commission approval.
• Disapproval of. the Preliminary Plat requires submission of a new
Preliminary Plat.

Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU 02-003
R uest: Consideration of a Special Conditional Use Permit ##SCU 02-003
Requested Bv: Christ Lutheran Church (Pastor Karen Wilhelm\ Asst. Pastor Diane Archer)
Requested For: Approximately 8.3 acres of land situated in the W. P. Harris, La Porte, Harris
County, Texas. This property is located along S. Broadway (Old Highway
146) and McCabe Road. The applicant is seeking approval to expand the
church activities to include a lodging retreat center/family shelter and
senior's assisted living complex.
Present Zoning: High -Density Residential (R-3)
Background: The property is located at the northwest corner of McCabe Road and S.
Broadway (Old Highway 146). It is bounded on. the west by Forest Vista
Mobile Home Park, on the north by an existing church, east and on the south
by Broadway and McCabe Road respectively.
In October, the Church met with Staff to discuss their future plans. The
Church is considering purchasing these tracts to develop a retreat center with
meeting space, guest cabins, trails, trust course,. and a labyrinth. The facility
will also provide temporary lodging for families in crisis. (This facility is
planned for the tract facing S. Broadway.). They also want to develop a'
senior assisted living facility. (This facility is proposed on the tract facing
McCabe Rd.) During the meeting, Staff stated that these uses within the R 3
zoning district require a Special Conditional Use Permit per City's Code of
Ordinances.
On November 1; the- Church submitted a request for a Special Conditional
Use permit (SCUP). -Although a general plan or site plan is required with a
SCUP submittal, only written description with photos were attached to the
application. The -Church submitted a sketch/site plan on November 15, 2002
(See Exhibit E). The Church explained that they were not prepared to retain
professional services to design a certified site -plan or drawings. The project
is a long-term plan that will only be implemented if the Commission grants
their SCUP.
Analysis: Section 106-217 of the Zoning Ordinance provides certain conditions for.the
issuance of a special conditional use permit as follows:
Christ Luthern Church
SCU 02-003
Page 2 of 2
• That the specific use will be compatible with and not injurious to the use
and enjoyment of other property, nor significantly diminish or impair
property values in the immediate vicinity..
• That the conditions placed on such use as specified in each district have
been met.
• That the applicant has agreed to meet any additional conditions imposed,
based on specific site constraints, and necessary to protect the public
interest and welfare of the community.
Specific submittal requirements and provisions that apply to conditional uses
in residential zoning districts are found in. Sections 106-216 & 334 of the
Zoning Ordinance. These performance standards, as they apply to this
request, may include the following: -
General plan/site plan/plat —. Per ordinance, all SCUP applications are
required to provide a general plan/site plan or plat showing the proposed
layout of the buildings, uses, parking, landscaping, and other details. The
applicant has submitted a sketch or site plan highlighting the activities
proposed at site.
Landscapin Screening - — As shown per attached sketch, school is. a
permitted use in R-3 zoning district. However, screening of the parking areas
for recreational buildings, community. center, religious, -and educational
institution shall be required per Section 106-444 (a) of the Ordinances.
Compatibility with surrounding area — . Conceptually, . the proposed
development is compatible with the existing land uses. However, the project
conflicts with the recommendations that the T]RZ board presented to the
Commission. The TIRZ board suggests low density residential (R 1) for this
area.' (See Exhibit B.)
Summary: The Commission has the following options:
Options -available to the Commission:
• Approve the SCUP as submitted by the applicant
• Approve the SCUP with specific conditions to be outlined by the
Commission
• Disapprove the SCUP
• Table consideration of this item. until addition information can be
provided to the Commission.
A recommendation from the Commission on this Special Conditional Use
Permit will be forwarded to City Council for final consideration.

RE: Land Use Within the TIRZ
Dear Ms. Waters,

RECEIVED
AUG 2 9 2002
.. PLANNING DEPT.
First, I would like to thank the Planning and Zoning Commission for letting me re resent the La Porte Redevelopment
Authority and Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number One at your August 15' meeting.
On June 20, 2002, I appeared before the Planning and Zoning Commission Board on behalf of Chairman Alton Porter and .
requested that while reviewing the City's Zoning and Land Use Maps, the Planning and Zoning Commission consider
resolving potential conflicts that may exist between the goals and objectives of th
Maps.. e TIRZ and the City's Land Use/Zoning
The Zone's Project Plan and its Revenue Projections were based largely on assumptions that property on the east side to State
Highway 146 would be developed primarily for residential purposes and the property west of State Highway 146 would be
developed primarily for light industrial and mixed commercial uses.
The Board met on August 14,.2002 and discussed recommendations for proposed changes, which I am forwarding to the
Planning and Zoning Commission on behalf of the La Porte Redevelopment Authority and TIRZ Board. The Board believes
making these recommendations regarding potential land uses would support the Zone Project Plan.
The recommendations are presented in the following maps:
Map l
o Recommended land uses west of State Highway 146 based on recent Planning and Zoning and City Council
approval and current Land Use:Map.
■ Map 2
o Recommended land uses east of State Highway 146.
• Map 3
o Recommended Zoning Map change.
We understand that the Planning and Zoning Commission will need"to consider these recommendations along with their own
work in this area and other public input.
If you have any questions or require any further information, please do not hesitate.to contact me.

•S46 4 Light Carl At%4 Retreat. Getnter
We envision 546tb Light Camp anti Retreat Center to fill a need in our area. Our Light Of
Hope ► ICIS KaMP this past summer led us to realize a need for local camping for children who
otherwise would never be able to experience camp. Sa666 Ligbt Camp and Retreat Center will offer
a children's camp during the summer months and will be perfect for church retreats, business
conferences, a weekend get away for the family, or the perfect Sabbath rest. 'We envision a main
building with meeting space, guest cabins, trails, trust course, and a labyrinth. God gave us
Sabbath for a reason and we want Sabbath Light to be one option. We request that this area be
zoned R3 so that our vision can be realized.
The photographs included with this information are from another camp but demonstrate our
vision.

Walking the,
Labyrinth
The Labyrinth is an archetype, -a
divine imprint, found in . all religious
traditions in various forms around the
world. By walking _ a replica of the
Chartres Labyrinth, laid in the
floor of Chartres Cathedral around
1220, we are rediscovering a long -
forgotten mystical tradition that is
insisting to be reborn.
This Cabyrinth has ' only one path
so there are no tricks to it and no dead
ends. The path winds throughout and
becomes a mirror for where we are in
our lives; it touches our sorrows and
releases our joys. So walk it with an
open mind and an open heart.
There are three stages of the walk:
Purgation —. a releasing, ' a letting go of the details of your life: This is an act
of shedding thoughts and emotions. It quiets and empties the mind.
'Illumination _ is when you reach the center. Stay there as long. as you like.
It is a place of meditation and prayer. Receive what is there for you to
receive.
Union — which is joining God, your Higher Power or the healing forces at
work ' in the world. Each time you walk the labyrinth you become more
empowered to find and do the work you feel your soul reaching for.
Guidelines for the walk: Clear your mind and become aware of your breath.
Allow yourself to find. the pace your body wants to go. You may "pass"
people or let others step around you whichever is easiest at- the turns. The .
path is two ways. Those going in will meet those coming out. Do what
feels natural.
Evening. Light Community
Evening Light Community will offer homes to seniors who need assisted living as an option.
There will be four levels ranging from no assistance needed to hospice as the final option. These
homes willbe individual one and two bedroom cottages or condo units that are wheelchair
assessable. There will be a community center where one meal a day will be provided, an arts and
crafts center, a chapel, walking trails leading into the trails in the S46 6 ' Uqq t Gamp anti Retreat
Center. Eventually we want to have a space that will include facilities for women with children
who are now homeless due to family violence. We request this property be zoned to include this
kind of facility so that our visions may become a reality.
