conditions No. I and 4 follow:
Original 1955 zoning was R-3 for the subject site. In 1966 the City conducted the
632 acre Lindbergh rezoning study, an area bounded by College, Washington,
Caldwood cut-off ditch and the Hillebrandt Bayou. The C-2 classification (heavy
commercial) was given to the subject property as part of 166 acres changed to C-2.
The C-2 was converted to GC -MD with the adoption of the 1981 Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed construction company will be compatible to other like land uses in the
immediate neighborhood along Lindbergh. Other business in the immediate vicinity
include Arena's Nursery, Southwest Stainless, Inc. (fittings, valves and pipe), Coastal
Automotive (truck repair and service), Crown Electric and the new Red Simpson, Inc.
(electrical power line and fibre optic cable installation).
4. The Transportation Division has approved subject to the provision of one handicap
