The property owner is listed in staff documents as Cole Properties LLC. Planning staff said the applicant previously sought higher-density zoning but decided to pursue a medium-density residential designation to align the lots with surrounding land uses.

Staff told commissioners the earlier request had been reviewed and determined to be inconsistent with the surrounding neighborhood and building official input; the applicant agreed to pursue medium-density residential, which staff said is consistent with adjacent zones. Staff also reported that notices were mailed to nearby owners and that no letters of opposition remained for the revised request.

After the public hearing was closed with no speakers for or against, a motion to approve Z25-04 was moved and seconded. The commission voted in favor and the chair announced the item approved.

Case R25-14 covers part of Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, Range E, Port Arthur Land Company. Planning staff reported the total parcel area as 148,260 square feet (about 2.49 acres). The current zoning was described as heavy industrial and the abutting parcels were also heavy industrial. The applicant is identified in the staff report as Charles Guidry; the surveyor is listed as Access Surveyors.

Planning staff said ten notices were mailed to adjacent owners and the matter met submittal requirements. At the public hearing no one spoke in favor or opposition, and staff reported no letters for or against the replat.

A motion to approve R25-14 was moved and seconded, and the commission voted in favor. The transcript records the motion, a second and the chair announcing \"Ayes have it,\" but does not provide a roll-call vote in the excerpt.

Staff said the replat met the city's technical requirements for lot dimensions and setbacks and would proceed through normal administrative processing.","Planning and Zoning Commission approved R25-14 to split 5500 Proctor Street Extension (heavy industrial) into three tracts; no public opposition was recorded at the hearing.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6492082,"Commission Approves Replat to Divide Church Property on Garnet Avenue into Three Lots",1493,73000,1566000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5528718-be70e921359d100443bc9671041c62ca&start=73&end=1566","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5528718-be70e921359d100443bc9671041c62ca/thumbnail_73000.jpg","/articles/6492082/Port-Arthur-City/Jefferson-County/Texas/Commission-Approves-Replat-to-Divide-Church-Property-on-Garnet-Avenue-into-Three-Lots","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6492082-dd135d90b564eb567a106ce4479ef462/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447985&Signature=ZkpJc3yhNdmBU7Y5wRVstQ7SacMhAv8D6aM~fdYkbLZAjGMxwu3O64w576fCwtVScxzv2kC7USDySv7BdurJjJGBrba6ZMXeY3eg6lHg35qdgdON0LwxdvzAEUKVX4GikXgO9UY0qhrEi7URBYqPYeIFXylwCPWfkosaxoxfsyZtOCrD-U6hNvPshn9O~zrr6Idfx0F3~F4~VYTaPBQWq4XlAthE6TQ9dcb~EfWDZQ4tukmpbPNHw9xOOdr5dtSAFF5AWheW~rBc57xfv5-s~k8pOdTyAU72PUIlKSFV9sQD395sUV6J4YpkOiClxEpsOlnaxZbpCUuaajXXjUTu7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Port Arthur Planning and Zoning Commission on Aug. 4 approved a replat to divide property at 6247 and 6249 Garnet Avenue in Port Acres into three tracts.

The commission voted to approve case R25-13, a replat of the east 192 feet of Lot 7, Block 8, Port Acres, converting one roughly 2.1-acre parcel (91,313.41 square feet) into Tract A, Tract B and Tract C. The applicant is listed as Baptist Missionary Association, Department of Missions, Incorporated; the surveyor is Arseneau Wilson and Co.

Planning staff told the commission the property is zoned low-density residential and that there is no proposed zoning change. Thirteen notices were mailed to adjacent property owners and the item was published at least 15 days before the public hearing, staff reported.

Neighbors who spoke at the hearing opposed the replat. \"That property's been that way for — I'm 64 years old today. It's been that way for 64 years. I think it ought to stay that way,\" said Charles Vincent, who gave his address as 6150 Garnet Avenue. Another resident, identifying himself as \"Mr. Biz,\" said the parsonage adjacent to his home has been used historically and that splitting the land could bring new homes next to long-term residents.

Planning staff answered questions about how the lots would be arranged, saying the single-family house (formerly the parsonage) would be on one lot, the church would occupy its own lot and a third lot would be created from the remaining land. Staff noted the proposed lots meet setback and lot-dimension requirements under the city's zoning rules. Staff also said whether the church currently holds services is not material to the replat: \"Whether it's an active church or not, just because it's a church ... it's allowed there by right,\" the staff member said.

A member of staff also explained the commission's authority and timing: if the commission declined to act, staff said a replat that meets legal requirements may proceed under the city's procedures, and notified property owners had been mailed required notices.

After public comment the commission closed the hearing, a motion to approve R25-13 was moved and seconded, and the commission voted to approve the replat.

The commission did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript excerpt; the motion was moved, seconded and the chair announced the item passes. The replat will be processed in accordance with city procedures.

Planning staff scheduled the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting for Aug. 18, 2025, at 5:30 p.m.","Port Arthur Planning and Zoning Commission approved a replat dividing 6247–6249 Garnet Avenue (Port Acres) into three tracts; some neighbors opposed, citing preservation of long-standing lot uses.","actionData","errors"]
