The Clute City Council voted Oct. 9 to schedule two joint public hearings with the Planning and Zoning Commission on separate land-use items.

Council approved scheduling a joint hearing for a specific-use permit (SUP) for an existing residential structure at 249 South Main Street for Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. Staff said the house already exists and the SUP would allow the owner to obtain building permits to renovate and reside in it after the property was rezoned commercial as part of a 2016 map change.

The council also scheduled a joint public hearing and regular council meeting for Nov. 13 to consider a Planning and Zoning recommendation to rezone the property at 907 Lewis Street from C-2 to C-1. Council members made and seconded motions to set the dates and approved both by unanimous voice vote.

No substantive zoning decisions were made Oct. 9; the actions were scheduling measures to allow public hearings and formal consideration on the specified dates.
