The intent of this Agenda Item is to request a public hearing to consider the
abandonment of approximately 2.042-acres of a dedicated and improved portion of the
Terminal Road right-of-way, Port Arthur Heights Addition, Port Arthur, Jefferson County,
Texas.
The request is being made on behalf of Motiva Enterprises, LLC, for expansion and
project site safety.
Background:
Motiva Enterprises, LLC submitted an abandonment application to the City's Planning
and Zoning Division on or around November 5, 2019, requesting consideration for the
abandonment of a portion of the Terminal Road right-of-way located between West 17th
Street and State Highway 82 [A.K.A. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive].
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 16, 2020, in which they voted
to recommend approval of the request.
On March 17, 2020, City Council approved Resolution No. 20-083, calling for a public
hearing to consider the proposed abandonment. However, further discussion with
Council in Executive Session yielded a decision to request that Motiva Enterprises, LLC

Council.
Representatives from Motiva Enterprises submitted a new application for the said
abandonment on September 9, 2022. The request remains the same.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held the most recent public hearing on
September 19, 2022, in which they voted 3:0 recommending approval of said request.
Budget Impact:
An updated appraisal has been requested from a licensed and qualified real estate
appraiser, which will provide a current fair and reasonable valuation for consideration
for the proposed acquisition of said right-of-way.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council approve P.R. No. 22784, calling for a public hearing
to consider the abandonment of approximately 2.042-acres of a dedicated and
improved portion of the Terminal Road right-of-way, Port Arthur Heights Addition, Port
Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas.
