Katy council approves zoning changes for Village at Katy Planned Development District
Summary
On July 14, 2025, the Katy City Council approved an ordinance amending the Village at Katy Planned Development District zoning rules (Ordinances 6‑21 and 28‑42); council discussed driveway access on Theater Road and was told TxDOT approved a proposed shared driveway serving two pad sites.
The City Council of Katy, Texas, on July 14, 2025, approved an ordinance amending the zoning ordinance (Ordinance No. 6‑21) and Ordinance No. 28‑42 to revise certain requirements and restrictions for development within the Village at Katy Planned Development District. The ordinance includes a penalty of $2,000 per day for violations.
The amendment was considered after a brief public hearing that opened at 6:33 p.m. and closed at 6:34 p.m.; no members of the public signed up to speak. The council then took up the ordinance itself.
The ordinance revises development standards and other requirements for the Village at Katy Planned Development District (the text of the ordinance as read into the record included the two ordinance numbers listed above and the stated daily penalty). Councilmember Janet Court asked staff about traffic and the number of proposed driveways along Theater Road, saying the road “is going to be really busy” and asking whether having four entrances “is a little much.” A city staff member identified in the meeting as Rachel responded that the proposed Driveway 1 has already received approval from TxDOT and that one shared driveway will serve two pad sites (identified in the discussion as Cherokee and La‑Z‑Boy), which the staff member said “provides some level of reduction” in new access points. The staff member also said where two access points are shown they are intended to provide access for multiple uses.
Mayor Pro Tem Chris Harris moved to approve the ordinance; Councilmember Janet Court seconded. The motion carried. The council did not record any opposition on the dais.
The ordinance text as presented repeals conflicting provisions and provides for severability; it also states the $2,000 daily penalty for violations of any provision of the ordinance. The council opened and closed the public hearing and approved the ordinance at the July 14 regular session.
No additional conditions, amendments to the ordinance, or timelines for implementation were recorded in the meeting minutes.
