• TYPE OF REQUEST: Special Exception under the provisions
of Section 11-605 [2.a] of Ordinance
1501. Enlargement of Non-Conforming Use
REOUESTF..D FOR: Leading Light - 401 N. 5th Street
(Blk. 90; Lots 17,18; La Porte)
REQUESTED BY: Mrs. Pdorene Swanagan & Mrs. Pauline Lewis
on behalf of Leading Light ~~376 O.E.S.
Background:
The Leading Light rneeting hall is an existing building located at 401
N. 5th Street in an R-1, Low Density Residential Zone. The lodge is an
old frame building currently under restoration. There are presently no
kitchen or restroom facilities in this building. The 16' X 20'
addition the lodge is proposing will house these facilities. (Exhibit
No. 1)
The City's zoning ordinance now restricts fraternal organizations to
General Comriercial zones. As they have occupied this building prior to
ordinance adoption, the Leading Light lodge is a legally existing
non-conforming use.
•
Analysis:
The City' s zoning ordinance allows non-conforming uses to be expanded
under the following circumstances:
(1) ",,. [reconstruction, enlargement or extension of] a
building occupied by a non-conforming use on the lot
or tract occupied by such building, provided that the
reconstruction, extension or enlargement does not
prevent the return of the property to a conforming
use." (Section 11-605 [a])
(2) "... when the Board finds that such special excep-
tion will not adversely affect the value and use of
adjacent or neighboring property or be contrary to
the best public in'cerest." (Section 11-605)
As noted above, this is a quite old frame building that is being
renovated by the Leading Light lodge. As part of the renova tion, the
building was shifted to another location on the same piece of
property. This eliminated an encroachrnent onto an abutting piece of
property and located the building within R-1 side setback li nes. The
proposed addition, if allowed, will also meet R-1 setback and lot
•
coverage requirements. (Exhibit No. 1)
• •
Leading Light Con't..... Page 2
• This is a relatively small addition to be placed on a block foundation.
As such, it should not be sufficient to prevent a "return to a
conforming use" at some point in the future.
Conclusion•
Again as has been noted, the existing lodge building is being
remodeled. Before renovation in 1986, this building had deteriorated
into such poor condition, the City was considering condemnation and
demolition. The building was a blighting influence on the
neighborhood.
The continuation and completion of this work should prove to be a
benefit and positive influence on the surrounding neighborhood and
therefore in no way contrary to the best public interest.
Recommendation:
Grant this special exception to allow a 16' X 20' addition to this
non-conforming use.

December 30, 1987
City of La Porte
P.O. Box 1115
La Porte, TX 77571
Attn: Board of Adjustments c/o City Secretary
We are requesting the board to grant Process Products permission
to exceed the new 20 foot building line. This wculd allow them
to create a new facade on their existing building. Since their
existing buildings were built according the building lines of 10
feet, set at the time of there construction in 1984. There is a
need to extend to this area again in order to cover. up and
enhance the building as it exists.
The main reason for remodeling the building is to create a more
aesthetic environment in the neighborhood. The buildings that
exist were all built at different times and are different styles.
The new propcsal would try to harmonize the buildings by making
• them the same style and character. This would be accomplished by
erecting a building similar to .the larger existing building.
This building wculd be built right over the top of the existing
building that does not conform in style and appearance, thus
concealing it and making both structures similar in
appearance. This could be done by only exceeding the exisiting
structure by about one foot. This would allow the new building to
cover the old one. Also, to make the building more harmoneuos to
the neighborhood environment, a new brick facade would be placed
over the existing metal. This would reduce the scale cf the
building and create a more residential appearance.
The new space needed by process Products could be accomplished by
simply erecting a building at the back of the existing building.
However., this would not change the appearance of the existing
buildings and further. create a conglomeration of buildings far less
appealing to the neighbor.hcod than the new structure a~ it is
proposed. Even though this approach would be far. less costly to
Process Products they have elected to spend the additional money
and create a more pleasant environment for everyone. It is our
hope the board will agree with this thought and allow process
Products to improve the building they already have even though it
does extend past the new building line.
•
J
•
• Once again, Process Products is requesting only to extend past
their existing building by less than one foot. It is our hope
that this one foot woLld be a great benefit to the entire
neighborhood by creating a building which in our opinion is far
superior in appearance to the one that exists now. ~1e hope that
the board agrees and will allow this building to be built.
Kind regards,
John C. Wycoff

TYPE OF REQUEST: Special Exception under provisions of
Section 11-605 [2.b.1] of City Zoning
Ordinance fdo. 1501
REQUESTED FOR: Process Products - 227 N. 8th Street
(Blk. 69; Lots 17-32; Town of La Porte)
REQUESTED BY: Wycoff & Associates, Inc. (John Ldycoff)
on behalf of James R. Rosier
BACF:GROUND
Process Products is an existing commercial establishment located at 227
Plorth 8th Street, in a General Commercial (G.C.) zone. Two (2) of
Process Products' buildings front on Alorth 8th Street. At the time
these two buildings were erected, their front setback of 9.7 feet
exceeded the City's commercial setback requirements. The g.7 foot
setback referenced, reflects the foundation lines on the buildings.
Building A (Exhibit One) has a projecting mansard facade which extends
four feet (4') beyond the foundation line to form a covered porch.
Process Products is presently expanding their facilities by building a
new warehouse behind Building A. The plans call for the warehouse roof
to extend over Building A and project eight inches (8") beyond the
existing mansard. This eight inch (8") projection is necessary to
allow for roof support columns along the front side of the building.
Extending this roof forward will tie these buildings together and give
the appearance of a single building. (See Exhibit Two)
Although this will place the foundation line of the building four feet
eight inches (~4'-8") closer to the property line, it will only move the
actual structure eight inches (8") forward.
ANALYSIS:
The Zoning Board of Adjustments is empowered under Section 11-605 of
Ordinance No. 1501 to grant a special exception of this type under the
following circumstances:
(1) "Any exception from the front yard requirements where
the actual front yard setback of any abutting lot does
not meet the front yard requirement." (Section 11-605
[2.b.1])
(2) "... when the Board finds that such special exception
will not adversely affect the value and use of adjacent
or neighboring property or be contrary to the best public
interest."
•
Process Products Con't.....
•
Page 2
fleither Building A or the adjacent Building B meet current front
setback requirements. This satisfies the first listed condition.
The entire 8th Street face of this block is under single ownership. An
alley separates the remainder of the block from the Process Products
facilities. Right-of-ways separate the complex from other properties
on the remaining three (3) faces.
Conclusion:
In staff's opinion, this request satisfies all conditions set forth by
the City's zoning ordinance.
(1) The adjacent Building B does not meet current setback
requirements.
(2) The nature of this request is such, that given the zoning,
property use, and separation from adjacent property, there
should be no adverse effect on the neighborhood.
(3) Process Products' current facility is clean and well main-
tained. The company's business complies with City zoning
regulations. Given the company's history, granting this
• request should in no way be contrary to the best interests
of the public.
Recommendation:
Grant a special exception to allow a front setback of four feet (4') .
Allow the construction of this new facility.

Type of Request: Special Exception under the provisions of
• Section 11-605[2.a] of Ordinance 1501.
Enlargement of a non-conforming use.
Requested For:
Chem Coast, Inc.
11820 North Ave.
La Porte Out Lot
"H" Street
4239
Requested Bv:
Background:
Ruth ~7allace on
Elmer Brinkley,
Chem Coast, Inc.
behalf of
Vice President of
Chem Coast, Inc. is a testing laboratory located at 11820 North Ave
"H" Street in the Lomax area. The Chem Coast site, which had a
• commercial zoning designation at the time of construction, has since
been rezoned to R-1 Low Density Residential. This rezoning has made
Chem Coast a legally established non-conforming use. (See Exhibit A)
Part of the Chem Coast facility is comprised of a freestanding
concrete block building used for the storage of test samples.
Structural problems with this building have apparently rendered it
unusable. Chem Coast has indicated to Staff that repair is impossible
at this time due to a pending lawsuit regarding the building's apparent
failure. This has left Chem Coast without proper rneans to store test
samples.
Chem Coast is proposing to build a new, comparably sized storage
building (25'x60'), attached to the existing building by means of a
breezeway. (See Exhibit B) The breezeway attachment will cause these
structures to be considered as a single building under the terms of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Analysis:
The City's Zoning Ordinance allows non-conforming uses to be
enlarged under the following circumstances:
•
` . •
Special Exception - 3/3/88
Page 2
•
(1) ...[reconstruction, enlargerent or extension of] a building
occupied by a non-conforming use on the lot or tract occupied
by such building, providing that the reconstruction, extension
or enlargement does not prevent the return of the property to
a conforming use. (Section 11-605[x])
(2) ...when the Board finds that such special exception will not
adversely affect the value and use of adjacent or neighboring
property or be contrary to the best public interest. (Section
11-605)
As noted above, the new storage building is to be linked to the
existing building by means of a covered breezeway. This will then
constitute an enlargement of an existing building rather than
construction of new structure. This will satisfy the first condition
referenced above. It will also allow Chem Coast to preserve the
existing building in its present condition until such time as their
lawsuit has been settled.
The size of this proposed building is quite small in comparison to
the size of Chem Coast's site and main building. The impact of this
• building should therefore be negligible, so far as a return of the site
to a conforming use is concerned.
The next conditions to be considered are the impact on the value
and use of neighboring property as well as concern for the "best public
interest". As noted above, Chem Coast is an existing business. Their
facility is maintained in a clean and orderly condition. This special
exception will not constitute an expansion of their business, but
merely would enable them to store the samples already on the site in a
safer manner. This building enlargement as proposed will meet all
setback and lot coverage requirements of the zoning ordinance.
Conclusion•
For the above noted reasons, Staff feels this request, if granted,
will have no negative impact on surrounding property uses and values.
Idor gill it be contrary to the best public interest.
Recommendation:
Grant Chem Coast's requested Special Exception to allow an
• enlargement of the noted existing storage building located at 11820
Pdorth AVe. "H" Street.

A Special Exceptior. is a deviation from the requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance. Before they grant a special exception, The Board of
Adjustments must determine that the exception is not contrary to the
best public interest and will not adversely affect the value or use of
adjoining property.
Special exceptions may be granted for the following items only:
(1) The reconstruction of or addition to a building occupied
by a non-conforming use. Additions cannot extend past
the lot occupied by the original structure or use. The
reconstruction or use cannot prevent the property from
returning to a conforming use.
(2) Deviation of yard requirements under the following cir-

Requested For: J.P.'s Service Center
9901 Fairmont Parkway
0.664 Acre tract of W.M. Jones,
Survey A-482, Harris County, Texas
Requested By:
Background:
Mr. J.P. Jackson, Owner
J.P.'s Service Center is an existing multi use facility located at
9901 West Fairmont Parkway. The property is currently zoned as R-3,
High Density Residential. (See Exhibit A) The uses on the tract in
question, include the following:
All-of the above are legally established non-conforming uses.
Mr. Jackson is requesting this Special Exception to allow him to
expand his convenience store by converting an existing roofed over car
wash vacuum bay to a storage room. This room will be used to store
animal feed to be sold from the convenience store. ( Exhibit B)
Analysis•
The City's Zoning Ordinance allows non-conforming uses to be
enlarged under the following circumstances:
V-
' Special Exception 3/3/88
Page 2
•
(1) ...[reconstruction, enlargement of extension of7 a building
occupied by a non-conforming use on the lot or tract occupied
by such building, providing that the reconstruction, extension
or enlargement does not prevent the return of the property to
a conforming use (Section 11-605[a])
(2) ...when the Board finds that such special exception will not
adversely affect the value and use of adjacent or neighboring
property or be contrary to the best public interest. (Section
11-605)
As noted above, this storage room will be constructed by enclosing
a roofed over vacuum bay. There will be no additional property placed
under roof, nor will there be any expansion beyond the lot of record.
As there will be no additional building area added to the tract, this
storage room should not affect a future return to a conforming use.
The property surrounding J.P.'s Service Center is also zoned as R-3
and is currently undeveloped. Based on information currently
available, Staff does not see a negative impact on surrounding property
values or uses.
•
Conclusion•
Based on the information noted
has satisfied all the conditions
granting of a Special Exception.
above, Staff feels that Mr. Jackson
which are prerequisites for the
Recommendation:
Grant this Special Exception to allow the noted 14x48 vacuum bay,
locacted at J.P.'s Service Center, 9901 Vest Fairmont Parkway, to be
converted to a storage room.
