Officials plan UDC guidance for properties affected by TxDOT Broadway widening
Summary
Pearland staff and consultants proposed a tailored approach to properties made nonconforming by the TxDOT Broadway widening: create a corridor‑specific section in the UDC, allow targeted flexibility for setbacks, signage and parking, and establish criteria to avoid penalizing property owners for government takings.
City staff, Planning & Zoning commissioners and council members discussed how to treat properties that will become nonconforming after the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) widens Broadway.
Design Workshop summarized the problem: right‑of‑way acquisitions reduce lot depth and parking, create setback and signage nonconformities, and can make it difficult for owners to meet minimum parking, landscape and access standards.
