Port Arthur Planning Commission

The Port Arthur Planning Commission on Tuesday voted 3-0-1, with Fernando Ramirez abstaining, to deny a specific use permit for a new high school stadium and athletic facilities at Ninth Avenue and Sgt. Lucian Adams Drive; but voted to table action on a site plan on the stadium until Port Arthur City Council reviews the specific use permit denial.

It will require a super majority of seven votes by the nine-member city council to overturn the planning commission's denial.

Residents of Sgt. Lucian Adams Drive expressed concern that the distance between the stadium and the nearest parking lot would cause people to park along their road.  

The request will be considered by the city council on March 15.
