RE: P.R. NO. 23076 —A resolution calling for a public hearing to consider a

Introduction:
The Port Arthur City Council is being asked to approve Proposed Resolution No. 23076,
calling for a public hearing to consider granting a specific use permit for approximately
0.0879-acre of land, consisting of the west 58' of Lot 1, Block 1, Keith Marroquin Tract
(3640 Professional Drive), Port Arthur, Jefferson County, Texas.
The request aims to allow for the operation of a gaming site in the Commercial Retail
(CR) district.
Background:
On or around February 23, 2023, Joseph Endari, the owner of 3640 Professional Drive,

(CR) District (formerly referred to as Light Commercial "LC"). Per Appendix A, Section
3: Land Uses, providing an effective date of January 1, 2023, an "Amusement, Game
Room" is prohibited in a Commercial Retail District without the approval of a specific
use permit.
In accordance with Appendix A, Section 6.07 of the City of Port Arthur Zoning
Ordinance, the City Council, after public hearing and proper notice to all parties affected
and after recommendations by the Planning and Zoning Commission, may authorize
the issuance of Specific Use Permits for the uses indicated by "SUP" in 3.03. Land Use

or business.

with this ordinance, establish conditions of operation, location, arrangement, and
construction of any use for which a permit is authorized. In authorizing the location of
any of the uses listed as Specific Use Permits, the City Council may impose such
development standards and safeguards as the conditions and locations indicate
important to the welfare and protection of adjacent property from noise, vibration, dust,
dirt, smoke, fumes, gas odor, explosion, glare, offensive view, or other undesirable or
hazardous conditions.
The Planning & Zoning Commission will conduct a public hearing on April 17, 2023.
