Section 1: That the Code of Ordinances of the City of
Baytown is hereby amended by adding a section, to be numbered
27 -35, which section shall read as follows:
Section 27 -35. Other Developments.
With the rapid changes that occur in development
ideas and layouts, it is impossible to write regulations
to cover every conceivable development. The Planning
Commission, upon recommendation of the Director of
Planning and Traffic and /or the City Engineer, is
empowered to determine the specific requirements for
each development that does not logically fall in an
existing category. The Planning Commission may adjust
the requirements for lot size, street construction,
individual metering and sidewalks in developments that
are proposed which do not fit existing categories. In
approving developments under this section, the
Commission should determine that: 1) the proposed use
is appropriate and reasonable for the area; 2) approval
will not be detrimental to public health, safety and
welfare; 3) that the effect of the development will not
prevent orderly subdivision of other land in the
vicinity, and 4) that the development will not cause the
City to be required to provide city services at a level
above that required in other subdivisions. }
Section 2: All ordinances or parts of ordinances
inconsistent with the terms of this ordinance are hereby
repealed; provided however, that such repeal shall be only to the
extent of such inconsistency and in all other respects this

governing the subject matter covered by this ordinance.
