raised by the residents of the adjacent properties during the December 11, 2006, City
Council meeting. City Council directed staff to consider a workshop with the Planning
and Zoning Commission regarding the notice of public hearing 200' procedure required

Re: City's Old Treatment Plant Site along Fairmont Parkway
BACKGROUND
The City of La Porte is seeking competitive bids on the sale of 4.53 acres of vacant land or
198,300 square feet along Fairmont Parkway, located between Willmont Drive and Big Island
Slough. Currently, the property is zoned Medium Density Residential (R-2). In addition, the
Land Use Map shows this area to be developing as Mid to High Density Residential uses.
The 4.53 acres being legally described as Tract 33, Treatment Plant Site, William M. Jones
Survey, Abstract 482, La Porte, Harris County, is appraised at $288,000. Last year, the City
did not receive any bid for this property.

( apartments).
FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS
>- Surrounding uses are overwhelmingly single-family residential and an Elementary
School.
>- Utilities are readily available to the property. Drainage/detention system will outfall to
adjacent Big Island Slough.
>- Another apartment complex (Fairmont Oaks @ Underwood) is approximately 1700
feet away from this site.
>- In regards to economic development, commerciallretail remains an important source
ofrevenue to the City.
ACTION BY THE COMMISSION
1. Discuss the Issue
2. The Commission may elect to:
