SUBJECT
title
Public Hearing and Introductory Ordinance, amending the City of Laredo Land Development Code Section 24.63, entitled “Permitted Land Uses”, to clarify that the Storage of Flammable and Explosive Products are allowed in M-2 zoning district and in M-1 zoning districts with a special use permit, providing that this ordinance shall be cumulative, providing for severability clause, and providing for publication and effective date.
body
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
None.
BACKGROUND
The City of Laredo Land Development Code Section 24.63.2, entitled “Permitted Land Uses,” currently does not identify the storage of flammable and explosive products as a separate use classification. This absence has created uncertainty regarding whether such use is allowed. To address this issue, the proposed amendment resolves this by clarifying distinctively in the City Laredo Land Development Code Section 24.63.2, entitled “Permitted Land Uses,” the storage of flammable and explosive products is permitted in M-2 (Heavy Manufacturing District) zoning districts and permitted in M-1 (Light Manufacturing District) zoning districts through the issuance of a Special Use Permit (SUP).
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission in a 6 to 0 vote recommended approval of the Ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance.
