INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: December 10, 2020
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
Through: Ronald "Ron" Burton, City Manager
From: Pamela D. Langford, Director of Development Services RJ ,3W
RE: P.O. NO. 6921 — An ordinance changing the zoning on approximately
0.6457-Acre of Land in Griffing Residential Park.
Introduction:
This agenda item intends to seek City Council's approval of P.O. NO. 6921, changing
the zoning on approximately 0.6457-acre of land, Lots 1 & 2, Block 33, Griffing
Residential Park, Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas from Single Family (SF) to Light
Commercial (LC).
Background:
The applicants, Seven Vu Trieu & Thai Sophia, seeks a zoning change for
approximately 0.6457-Acre Tract of Land located in the Griffing Residential Park
Addition of Port Arthur, TX, to allow for the construction of a Multiple Family
development (i.e., apartment complex) in accordance with Appendix A, Section 7-100
— Use of Land and Buildings. The property is currently zoned as Single Family (SF) and
is surrounded by properties zoned as Single Family (SF) and Light Commercial (LC).
On November 16, 2020, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on
the application for any amendment or change prior to making its recommendation and
report to the City Council. When any such amendment or change relates to a change
in classification or boundary of a zoning district, written notice of public hearing before
the planning and zoning commission on the proposed amendment or change shall be
mailed to all owners of real property lying within 200 feet of the property on which the
change is requested. Such notice shall be given not less than ten days before the date
"Remember,we are here to serve the Citizens of Port Arthur"
P.O.Box 1089 X Port Arthur,Texas 77641-1089 X 409.983.8101 X FAX 409.982.6743
set for hearing by depositing in the mail such notice, properly addressed and postage
paid, to each taxpayer as the ownership appears on the last approved city tax roll. When
any such amendment relates to a change of a zoning regulation or to the text of this
ordinance not affecting specific property, notice of the public hearing of the planning
and zoning commission shall be given by publication in a newspaper of general
circulation in the City of Port Arthur without the necessity of notifying property owners
by mail. Such notice shall state the time and place of such hearing and the nature of
the subject to be considered, which time shall not be earlier than ten days from the date
of publication.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the proposed change be denied;
therefore requiring an affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of all members of the City
Council (i.e., at least six [6] members), in accordance with subsections (d) and (f) of
Section 211.006 Texas Local Government Code and Section 24-105 of the City Zoning
Ordinance.
The Port Arthur City Council will hold a public hearing regarding the proposed change
on December 22, 2020.
Budget Impact:
None
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council approve P.O. NO. 6921, changing the zoning on
approximately 0.6457-acre of land, Lots 1 & 2, Block 33, Griffing Residential Park, Port
Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas from Single Family (SF) to Light Commercial (LC).
