TO: CITY MANAGER BRIAN MCDOUGAL, CITY COUNCIL&RON
BURTON,DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
FROM: PAUL BROWN, SENIOR PLANNER
SUBJECT: P.O. 6583—REZONING OF 3248 PROC 1'hR ST.
DATE: 09/13/2016
During and following the public hearing on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 at 6 p.m., City
Council members requested that the proposed ordinance for rezoning the above listed
property should establish a Planned Development District that would include some specific
limitations on how the rezoned location can be used in the future. As such, P.O. 6583
would create Planned Development District No. 36 (PD-36) that would allow some of the
land uses normally associated with the Neighborhood Service (NS) zoning designation, but
will specifically not allow the following uses:
1. Any drive-through foodservice or restaurant facility
2. Any non-drive through restaurant, foodservice or coffee shop requiring more off-
street parking than can reasonably fit on the original lot.
3. Any large office or retail facility that would serve more than 5 customers or visitors
at any one time.
4. Bank, savings&loan, or credit union
5. Convenience store
6. Drugstore or pharmacy
7. Gaming or gambling machine facility (such as 8-liners and the like)
8. Laboratory, scientific and research facility
9. Mortuary or funeral home.
10. Package store (retail liquor sales)
11. Pawn shop
12. Studio,health, reducing or similar service
The following is a list of uses that would be allowed as long as the above limitations are
followed; however, if the Council so wishes, one or more of the following could be added
to the above list of uses that are not allowed:
1. Auto parts an accessory sales (indoor display only)
2. Antique shop
3. Art gallery
1
4. Art supply store
5. Small bakery and confectionary shop (retail)
6. Beauty shop or barber shop
7. Book or stationary store or newsstand
8. Small cleaning, pressing and dry cleaning shop (pick up only of items processed at
another location)
9. Custom personal service shop
10. Clinic, medical, dental or doctor's office
11. Florist or garden shop
12. Greenhouse or plant nursery
13. Handcraft shop and art objects
14. Hardware store or hobby shop
15. Incidental or accessory retail and service repair
16. Key shop
17. Laboratory,medical and dental, medical appliances and fittings, sales or rental
18. Offices, small general business and professional
19. Restaurant or foodservice - non drive-through type with restrictions on size &
number of customers at one time
20. Self-service laundromat or washateria
21. Small studio - music, dance or drama
22. Travel bureau or consultant
The Council may add any of the above allowed uses to the list of uses not allowed.
Councilmembers need only to add items to the not-allowed list before the proposed
ordinance is approved. Similarly, if any further restrictions are wanted, they can be added
to the list in the P.O. The property for which the zoning change has been requested
currently has a paved area on the side and rear of the building that will provide off-street
parking space for four or five vehicles. By my rough estimate, about seven (7) or eight (8)
additional parking spaces could be paved on the lot. If these parking places are paved, the
Zoning Ordinance would allow a non-drive through restaurant or foodservice facility (such
as a coffee shop or non-alcohol smoothie establishment) could provide seating for 39
patrons,based on the off-street parking space requirement of one space for each three (3)
seats in the restaurant or facility.
The owner,Troy Hatch,has not indicated that he wants to enlarge the parking area, but
any restrictions or denied uses the Council wishes should take the possibility into
consideration. Mr. Hatch did say that he might want to open a smoothie operation to
attract patrons from the new dormitory at the Lamar State College - Port Arthur campus.
Any development of this nature would no doubt include an increase in off-street parking
spaces, so the Council ought to take note of such possibilities when considering what types
of land use should be allowed or denied in this proposed planned development district.
