RE: P.R. NO. 21809 — A resolution calling for a public hearing to consider a
proposed abandonment for 1.351-acre of land consisting of portions of
city street rights-of-way.
Introduction:
The intent of this Agenda Item is to request a public hearing to consider a proposed
abandonment for 1.351-acre of land consisting of portions of the following rights-of-way:
• 70' x 720' portion of Railroad Avenue
• 60' x 210' portion of 5th Street
The Port of Port Arthur has agreed to simultaneously dedicate utility easements for
existing and proposed utilities as well as dedicated ingress/egress easements providing
legal access to current adjoining property owners.
Background:
The Port of Port Arthur submitted a request to the City for the abandonment of the
above-referenced portions of rights-of-way for the purpose of managing public traffic
entering into designated areas owned/controlled by the Port.
On February 1, 2021, the Port Arthur Planning and Zoning Commission held a public
hearing to discuss the proposed abandonment; however, did not take action on this
request due to loss of quorum. The Commission will reconvene on this matter on
February 15, 2021.
In accordance with Article VI, Section 94.383(b)(2) of the Port Arthur Code of
Ordinances, fifteen (15) notices were mailed to each property owner within 200 feet and
published in the official newspaper of the city, which was published in the Port Arthur
News on January 16, 2021.
There were no property owners to speak in opposition of the proposed request on
February 1, 2021.
Budget Impact:
None
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council approve P.R. No. 21809, calling for a public hearing
to consider a proposed abandonment for 1 .351-acre of land consisting of portions of
the following rights-of-way:
• 70' x 720' portion of Railroad Avenue
• 60' x 210' portion of 5th Street
A public hearing shall be held on Tuesday, March 16, 2021, at 6:00 p.m.
"Remember,we are here to serve the Citizens of Port Arthur"
