and Planning. Commission to discuss rezoning of the following property:
Lots 5 and 6, Block 2, Bissonnet Place Addition,
City of West University Place, Texas.
Mr. Clemons referred to a letter addressed to the Commission and dated June 7,
1970, in which he outlined various types construction for these lots. Mr. Jim
Maxwell, partner in the firm of Shwa do Maxwell, Inc., developers, appeared with
Mr. Clemons with a tentative plan for a retail business "service" center at
this location.
A general discussion between the Commission, Mr. Clemons and Mr. Maxwell ensued
in which the various uses were discussed. Also discussed was the possibility
of rezoning adjoining lots described as:
' Lots 7, 8, 9, Block 2, Bissonnet Place Addition,
City of West University Place, Texas.
and developing all of the area. There are houses located on the Lots 7, 8, and
9, but Lots 5 and 6 are vacant.
Mr. Clemons and Mr. Maxwell were advised by the Commission that they would
confer with the City Attorney to determine if this in fact would not be "spot"
zoning and could. not at this time give a definite answer or recommendation for
rezoning.
Messrs. Clemons and Maxwell left the meeting at this time.
After an informal discussion among the Commission members .the concensus of opinion
was strongly against consideration of rezoning of these lots, because it would
be "spot" zoning and might constitute a gradual encroachment into a residential
area, especially of all lots were considered. The Commission realizes these are
"problem" lots, and oddly shaped, and that there are several along Bissonnet which
do not lend themselves to construction of any type.
There being no further business to come before the Co ssion, upon motion duly
made, seconded and carried, the meeting adjourned.
