Planning commission approves overhaul of planned development zoning rules
Summary
The Bryan City Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously Nov. 20 to approve a text amendment to the city zoning code that consolidates planned-development district types, adds six purpose statements, and preserves references to retired district designations.
The Bryan City Planning and Zoning Commission on Nov. 20 voted unanimously to approve a proposed amendment to the city zoning code (chapter 130) that would repeal and replace the current planned-development language and clarify permitted uses.
A staff member presenting the draft told commissioners the change is intended to give applicants clearer guidance: "what we're wanting to do with this text amendment is, repeal and replace what we have right now for a planned development district," the staff member said. The amendment consolidates previously separate PD labels into a single "planned development districts" framework, adds six district purpose statements, and will include a chart listing retired zoning districts so existing PDBs, PDMs, PDIs and PDHs remain referenced.
The commission opened a public hearing and, seeing no speakers, closed the hearing before taking a motion. After brief remarks that the amendment "gives better direction to applicants," commissioners voted in favor; the Chair announced the motion passed unanimously, with Commissioner Cooper recorded as in favor. The transcript does not record the names of the mover and seconder or a numeric vote count.
The amendment is a text change to the city code as presented to the commission; the transcript does not specify subsequent procedural steps or a council adoption date.
