a. Proposed amendments to Appendix C Zoning Ordinance "Section 15.
Amendments" and the City of Friendswood Code of Ordinances Chapter 70
"Vacation of street, drainage, utility or other public easement" to change from joint
public hearings to separate public hearings and to amend ordinance wording to be
consistent with state law.
Harbin said the Commission had workshopped this item with Council in February
explaining their desire to change the public hearing process. She explained the expedited
process was created in 2007 to become more developer friendly. Harbin said since that
time, the Council reduced their meetings to once a month and the City hired an attorney
on staff which prevents her being present at both Council and Commission meetings on
the same night. Harbin said the intent is to remain developer friendly and not shuffle
applicants up and down stairs for meetings plus be able to provide developers with firm
meeting dates. She announced the Commission will be moving their meetings days to the
second and fourth weeks of the month to shorten the dead time between meetings.
3. The Joint Public Hearing adjourned at 6:20pm.
