Council appoints advisory committee for comprehensive-plan update funded by GLO resilient communities grant
Summary
Council authorized formation of a 17-member ad hoc advisory committee to guide a comprehensive-plan update funded through a General Land Office Resilient Communities grant; the consultant anticipates a roughly one-year schedule with zoning updates to follow.
The Council authorized formation of an ad hoc comprehensive-plan advisory committee on Nov. 9 to work with the city and the consultant on an update to Friendswood’s comprehensive plan.
Staff said the project is funded through the Texas General Land Office Resilient Communities program and will include outreach, visioning and possibly a bus tour with the advisory committee. The committee will number 17 and include planning commissioners, representatives from local school districts (FISD/CCISD), BAEHEP, realtors and other stakeholders; staff expects at least four advisory meetings and hopes to kick off work in December.
Staff said the comprehensive-plan update is expected to be completed in about a year, after which a zoning-ordinance update will follow and that the plan will be used actively in development decisions; the city plans regular reviews every few years to keep the plan current.
