Home District Regulations of the City of Port Arthur Zoning Ordinance.
Introduction:
The intent of this Agenda Item is to request a public hearing to consider amendments to Appendix A,
Section 7, Use of Land and Buildings; and Section 13, Mobile Home District Regulations of the City of Port
Arthur Zoning Ordinance as it relates to the location of mobile home and recreational vehicle parks in the
City of Port Arthur.
The request is to remove the allowance of mobile homes as a permitted use within the city, and to make
recreational vehicle parks allowed by right and/or special use permits in fewer districts.
Background:
In May, the City of Port Arthur updated Article III, Recreational Vehicle Parks, of Chapter 58, Manufactured
Homes, Mobile Homes, Recreational Vehicles and Parks of the City's Code of Ordinances. However, due
to time constraints and notification requirements for zoning amendments, updates to the Zoning Ordinance
were not made at that time. The overall goal is to continue to improve the standards set forth for these
developments in an effort to promote safe,orderly, and healthful development within the City of Port Arthur.
A public hearing was held by the Planning & Zoning Commission on August 5, 2019.
Budget Impact:
