A staff presenter said the change is intended to clean up redundant language across city departments and create one point of intake for special-event applications, with the application distributed electronically to police, fire, emergency management, parks and planning for review. “It’s just the point of contact,” the staff presenter said, explaining the consolidation would not change departments’ substantive reviews.

Residents in the meeting asked whether the change would remove commission or public oversight for certain events and whether the city would be able to cancel events; one resident asked, “Does it give the city authority to cancel an event for safety reasons?” Staff replied that the revision would give the city authority to revoke permits for safety reasons or during severe weather and that those powers already exist for events on city property.

Staff gave examples of how the ordinance would treat different activities: temporary religious or philanthropic uses and seasonal retail sales would be folded into the special-event process and generally not come to the planning commission, while heavier uses such as a concrete batch plant would still require planning department approval. The presenter emphasized the intent is consolidation and clarity rather than removing the ability of citizens or organizations to hold events.

After questions, a commissioner moved to recommend approval to City Council and the motion carried. Staff noted the ordinance would be on City Council’s agenda the following day; staff also reminded commissioners that a previously considered car wash (Zaza) would be returned to council for reconsideration and that bylaws regarding meeting days would be addressed before year end.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","League City - Planning & Zoning","oneSentenceSummary","The League City Planning and Zoning Commission recommended City Council approve amendments to Chapter 125 to consolidate temporary-use permit rules into a single special-event permitting process.","taxTitle","League City, Galveston County, Texas","taxId",2795,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":44,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6462216,"Planning and Zoning Commission recommends rezoning 0.6-acre tract on Carolina Avenue to RSF-5",247,91000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5811828-29f4da0e11f2a66b94b6e72f722e5397&start=91&end=338","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5811828-29f4da0e11f2a66b94b6e72f722e5397/thumbnail_91000.jpg","/articles/6462216/League-City/Galveston-County/Texas/Planning-and-Zoning-Commission-recommends-rezoning-06-acre-tract-on-Carolina-Avenue-to-RSF-5","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6462216-6d39f458e531baf59eaaf0a1fed2da14/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447721&Signature=QMs3ZTJMmpQCYgEn5TEsYAv9W3yb0oIIWJd~k7l-5daskcJ5EuC3qyKhWaddlIaWoBJVCUKYERS6-HE2G~iLFHeO5I8k9xTTJ9TJpeaJA19RAZcymUc9mPaJ7EKxgL-5wWM0SDNHVPWE66t542sFsfpK7BT-nYCb5S78XAUmgAcjgMyJ2YgLfF1d-9YeiiNE3xZubd04YKPtfnUHjqQ7PuRseNeBPIhJh9uq6EKGNlF422hyTDFmZ-Z1krz-j~yqzpip05UhjLJoh2yIsXe6El3HcChrRJVqm~u96tt7AXR6GnYpl8h1y0r0R9MDzzD7HSoXAP3wyE3iCA5s7JEiUQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The League City Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the City Council rezone an approximately 0.6-acre tract on Carolina Avenue from general commercial (CG) to residential single-family 5 (RSF-5).

City planner Caitlin King told the commission the hatched tract on the zoning map is currently zoned commercial but is directly adjacent to multiple RSF-5 parcels; staff determined the requested rezone would be “consistent and compatible with the adjacent land uses,” would not create nonconformances, and would have negligible traffic impacts. “Based upon the information provided, staff recommends approval of this rezone request,” King said.

The commission opened and closed a public hearing with no members of the public addressing the panel. A commissioner moved to approve the rezone (map identifiers referenced in the record included “2300061908 Carolina Avenue” in staff materials and “map 25-006” during the motion), a second was recorded, commissioners voted in the affirmative, and the chair declared the motion carried. The commission’s vote sends a recommendation to City Council; the transcript indicates five commissioners were present for the meeting.

The proposal’s stated rationale at the hearing was to bring the parcel’s zoning into alignment with the surrounding block. Staff noted the request is inconsistent with the future land use map in the comprehensive plan but said it is consistent with the comprehensive plan’s overall goals and policies.

The matter now advances to the City Council for final action. The commission did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the meeting record shows commissioners voted “aye” and the motion carried.","The League City Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend that the City Council rezone about 0.6 acre on Carolina Avenue from general commercial (CG) to residential single-family 5 (RSF-5). Staff said the change would align the parcel with adjacent residential lots and have negligible traffic impact.","actionData","errors"]
