Summary
The planning commission approved staff’s request to revoke the planned unit development approved under Ordinance 22-065 for 2018 60th Street because the property owner did not obtain building permits within the ordinance’s 24-month deadline.
The Galveston Planning Commission approved staff’s request on Jan. 7, 2025, to revoke a planned unit development for 2018 60th Street that had been approved by City Council in Ordinance 22-065.
Staff reported that the PUD, which would have allowed an office use on property zoned R-1 (single-family residential), required that a building permit be issued within 24 months of council approval. City records show no building permits were issued under that approval; for that reason staff initiated the revocation process and recommended that the commission approve revocation of Ordinance 22-065 under the revocation criteria in the land development regulations (citing Section 4.105 for failure to comply with conditions).
No members of the public spoke on the item. A commissioner made a motion to approve revocation of 24P-045 and a second was given; the commission voted to approve the revocation. Staff clarified the revocation is effectively automatic under the regulations but that the commission is processing a formal revocation to remove any ambiguity from the record.
The commission’s action removes the PUD entitlement tied to Ordinance 22-065. Staff indicated the property owner had been informed of the revocation process prior to the hearing.
