V. REGULAR AGENDA
Workshop to discuss the 89th Texas Legislative Session and proposed
zoning amendments.
Director Medellin presented an overview of updates from the 89th Texas Legislative
Session and discussed draft zoning ordinance amendments. Staff identified three
bills requiring changes to the zoning ordinance: HB 24 (Majority Rule), HB 2464
(Home-Based Businesses), and HB 4506 (Notification for Zoning Changes).
HB 24 revises the classification of zoning amendments by distinguishing between
comprehensive and non-comprehensive changes and establishes different
opposition thresholds that may trigger a supermajority vote at the City Council level,
particularly for amendments increasing residential density.
HB 2464 deregulates non-nuisance home-based businesses and expands eligibility
from single-family residences to all residential dwelling units. Staff noted that draft
ordinance language reflects this expanded definition.
HB 4506 allows electronic notification (email or text) for zoning changes, provided
receipt can be verified. Minor changes to postage requirements and sign
regulations were also discussed.
Director Medellin advised that additional ordinance cleanup was included to reflect
departmental rebranding from Community Development to Development Services.
Commissioner McCulloch asked questions regarding the expansion of home-based
businesses to multifamily dwellings. Director Medellin stated staff does not
anticipate significant impacts, as the bill applies only to non-nuisance uses.
Commissioner Enlow inquired about the City's capacity to implement electronic
notifications. Director Medellin confirmed the City has the capability through its
existing notification system and noted staff intends to continue using multiple
notification methods.
Director Medellin concluded by noting that further workshops or a public hearing are
anticipated prior to presentation of the proposed amendments to City Council.
VI. ADJOURN
Chairman Woodward adjourned the meeting at 2:16 pm.
