This section of Terminal Road is located south of West 17th Street and east of State Highway 82 [A.K.A. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive]. Staff Report: A23-05 Pagel of 9 As part of the abandonment process, the application was accompanied by signed and written consent of all utility entities and adjacent property owner(s), with Motiva Enterprises, L.L.C. being the registered owner of the adjoining properties. Utility entities include the City of Port Arthur Water/Sanitary Sewer, Public Works - Drainage, Charter/Spectrum Cable, Texas Gas Service, Entergy, AT&T - Texas, and Drainage District No. 7. The City's Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on Monday, March 16, 2020. Public Notices were published in the Port Arthur Newspaper on March 7, 2020, and notices were sent to property owners within a 200 ft. radius of the proposed site. On March 17, 2020, the City Council approved Resolution No. 20-083, calling for a public hearing to consider the proposed abandonment. However, further discussion with the Council yielded a decision to request that Motiva Enterprises, L.L.C. withdraw its request for abandonment due to traffic and safety concerns posed by the Council. Moving forward, Representatives from Motiva Enterprises submitted a new application for the said abandonment on September 9, 2022, with the request remaining the same as previous. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on September 19, 2022. Public Notices were published in the Port Arthur Newspaper on September 9, 2022, and notices were sent to property owners within a 200 ft. radius of the proposed site on September 7, 2022. At this public hearing, there was no written or verbal opposition from the public. The Commission voted 3:0, recommending approval of this request. On September 27, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 22-440, calling for a public hearing. Notification of this proposed abandonment was submitted to all utility entities servicing the City of Port Arthur for comment and acceptance. The Planning Staff did not receive any objections to this request. Based on the discussion with the City's Public Safety, Public Works, and Engineering Officials, there is no opposition to the request to abandon the said right-of-way. The City Council conducted its public hearing at a regularly scheduled meeting on October 25, 2022, at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. Members of the public were invited to speak regarding the said request; Willie Bae Lewis asked for clarification on the precise section of Terminal Road being requested for abandonment and the future desire to construct berms at this location. Claire Jackson, Motiva Representative, informed Mr. Lewis that Motiva had no desire to develop the area and would be used strictly for parking and traffic control. There were no members of the public to oppose the said request. Following the October 25, 2023, public hearing, Representatives of Motiva Enterprises asked that the proposed ordinance conveying said portion of Terminal Road be held for a future date. On August 29, 2023, the proposed ordinance was brought forward for the City Council's consideration. In a vote of 6:1, the Council voted to approve the request to close, vacate, abandon, and convey the 2.042-acre portion of Terminal Road to Motiva Enterprises, LLC.
