Langford, Director of Planning and Development Services -�'" ) RE: P.O. NO. 7073 — An Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Port Arthur by granting a Specific Use Permit Introduction: This agenda item intends to seek the City Council's approval of P.O. NO. 7073, amending Appendix A—Zoning of the City of Port Arthur Code of Ordinance, by granting Specific Use Permit — 241 (SUP #241) to allow for the Land Use of "Package Store" at 2301 Gulfway Drive, 0.7602-acre of land, consisting of Lots 7-12, Block 345, City of Port Arthur Addition (2301 Gulfway Drive), Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas. The owner/applicant, Zanamar Properties, LLC (Wajdi Hammad, VP), seek this permit to operate a package store (i.e., liquor store) at said location. Background: An application for a specific use permit was filed with the Planning and Zoning Commission on April 11, 2022. The Public Notice was published in the Port Arthur Newspaper on April 30, 2022, and mailed to adjacent property owners within 200 ft. of the subject site. The Commission held a public hearing on May 16, 2022, over Zoom and voted 4:0, recommending approval of the said request. Per Appendix A, Section 22 Special Conditions #28, a package store approved by specific use permit in the "LC" Light Commercial district shall not be located on a lot or tract of land adjacent to or across the street from a "SF, single family or "2F", two-family district unless located in a shopping center of which it comprises not more than 25 "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 percent of the floor area. Due to the proposed use being adjacent to a "SF" single family zoning district (to the North) which is the reason the applicant is requesting an SUP. The Pre-Development staff have met with the applicant to confirm all necessary requirements for operation of a package/liquor store by adhering to local, state and federal regulations/guidelines. In accordance with Appendix A, Section 21-600 of the Zoning Ordinance, a specific use permit shall remain in effect until such time that either of the following conditions occurs: • An amendment to the zoning ordinance results in the use for which the specific use permit was issued becoming a use permitted by right in the district in which it is located; or • An amendment to the zoning ordinance results in the use for which the specific use permit was issued becoming a prohibited use in the district in which it is located; or • The use for which the specific use permit was issued is discontinued or abandoned for a period exceeding two years. Upon the occurrence of any of the above conditions, the specific use permit shall become void and shall be designated as such in the Appendix of this ordinance and removed from the official zoning map. Those uses under 21-600(2) which then are nonconforming in the district in which they are located shall be subject to section 23- 400 (nonconforming uses and structures) of this ordinance. On May 24, 2022, City Council approved Resolution No. 22-228, calling for a public hearing. The City Secretary's Office prepared and mailed notifications for the hearing and published a public notice in the Port Arthur Newspaper before the public hearing date. City Council will hold a public hearing on June 21, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. In accordance with Section 211.006 of the Texas Local Government Code, the planning staff has not received written notification opposing this request.
