The property is surrounded by single family homes and vacant lots in an RS (Residential Single -Family Dwelling) District.

Finally, he stated that the duplex may be the start of multifamily rental property in the area. Fred Vernon, 2045 Williams Avenue, Port Arthur, TX, addressed the Commission. He spoke in favor of the request. He stated that the duplex will be preferable to the vacant property to add to the tax roll and prevent squatting. The public hearing on this request was closed without further continent. 10 Planning Commission June 27, 2022 The applicant was given an opportunity to speak in rebuttal.

Applicant: Xavier Williams Location: 1320 Caldwell Avenue FVA Planning Commission June 27, 2022 Mrs. Josey presented the staff report. Xavier Williams is requesting permission for a construction business with a laydown yard at 1320 Caldwell Avenue. This property was zoned RM-H (Residential Multiple -Family Dwelling — Highest Density) and occupied by a house until it burned and was demolished in 2019. A commercial structure is located at the corner of the lot and the current owner wished to use the building for commercial purposes although it had sat vacant for several years so the property was rezoned from RM-H to GC -MD (General Commercial -- Multiple -Family Dwelling). Mr. Williams constructed a new storage building on the property without the benefit of a permit. He then began to operate a construction business and park dump trucks on the property without a Certificate of Occupancy. Due to the property being used as a lay -down yard for Mr. Williams's construction business, a Specific Use Permit is required in a GC -MD zoning district. This use is not compatible with other uses around the subject property. Properties to the north east and south are residential and occupied by single-family homes. Although a neighborhood grocery store sat at this location for many years, it was compatible with the adjacent uses. A construction business with outside storage for equipment and dump truck parking would be detrimental to the residential neighborhood. In his letter, Mr. Williams states three (3) dump trucks will be kept at this location. No parking for the dump trucks or the vehicles for the drivers are shown on the site plan. If the application is approved and parking is planned on the property, a six (6) foot wide landscaping strip will be required between any off-street parking areas and the street. Those landscaped strips are required to have a three (3) foot tall wall, berm or hedge for the length of the parking area. In addition, the property to the west along the north end of the property is zoned RM-H, if approved a ten (ten) foot wide landscaped buffer with trees and an eight -foot wood or masonry screening fence is required along that portion of the property line that borders the RM-H zoned property. Slides of the subject property, site plan and surrounding area were shown. Twenty-six (26) notices were mailed to property owners within two hundred (200) feet of the subject property. Zero responses were received in favor or in opposition. Staff recommended denial of the request. The applicant was present. Xavier Williams, 6050 Ricki Lane, addressed the Commission. He stated that he had a company put in a garage for him and that they told him they had a permit, but that he later discovered they did not. He then tried to pull the permit himself and that began the specific use permit process. Mr. Williams stated that he is trying to open a laydown yard and that he is not operating at the location, but just wants to store his vehicles and equipment there. He stated that the shop next door belongs to his father. In response to Chairman Nejad, he stated that he had put about $25,000 into the project. 13 Planning Commission June 27, 2022 Brief discussion followed to clarify where residential property was in relation to the subject property. Councilmembers Neild and Durio spoke in support of Mr. Williams and his work. The public hearing on this item was opened and closed without further comment. Discussion followed concerning the parking of the vehicles. Commissioner Quraisbi moved to approve the request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a construction business with an outdoor lay down yard in a GC -MD (General Commercial — Multiple -Family Dwelling) District, as requested in file PZ2022-226 with the following conditions: 1. ,Submit a revised site plan showing parking and required landscaping, 2. Provide landscaping to meet ordinance requirements along both street frontages. 3. Provide a ten (10) ft. wide landscaped buffer with trees along west property line that borders residential zoning and an eight (8) ft. tall wood or masonry fence to meet Zoning Ordinance requirements. Commissioner Jabbar seconded the motion. The motion to approve the request carried 7:0:1 (Beatty). OTHER BUSINESS None.
