Friendswood Planning and Zoning Corrmission
Mayor, City of Friendswood
Subject: Zoning Ordinance Proposed Changes
1.The City Council from time to time has stated they felt there wereseveral areas associated with the Zoning Ordinance which either had notbeen covered or which required amendment. The Planning and Zoning Commission is requested to take into consideration the items listed belowand provide the City Council recommendations on possible Zoning Ordinanceamendments to cover these items:
(a)The following changes to the Permitted Use Tables:
1.Review the permitted use lists for the five defined zones withthe defined goal of updating these lists to reflect the trueneeds of Friendswood
2.Review the Light Industrial permitted use list for uses whichwould be desirable within the present City Limits. It is theopinion of the Council that there are certain so called lightindustry uses which would be desirable with the present City;for example, Warehouses. In order to make sure that useswhich are permitted within the City are clearly identified fromthose that are not permitted, the Planning and Zoning Commissionmay find it desirable to establish a sixth zone covering theindustrial uses permitted within the present City.
3.Substitute a Permitted Use Matrix for the current five zone"Permitted Use Tables". R eference the City of Galveston ZoningOrdinance.
(b)Establish the Commercial Zone boundary along the rear property linesof those lots facing Huntington Lane and Camelot Lane in the WhitehallSubdivision. The present Zoning Map indicates this boundary line asgoing all the way up to Huntington and Camelot Lanes.
(c)Recommend changes to the current Zoning Ordinance section coveringfuture annexations.
