A.Mixed-Use Zoning Concepts (30 min.)
Mr. Cox, City Manager explained that over a month ago a team of staff members were
grouped together to discuss mixed-use development and it's overall concept within the City of Friendswood. Staff then gave a presentation focusing on two potential pr ojects that are currently being considered as mixed-use. Staff defined mixed-use as a combination of residential, office, and retail uses with green space connecting together to allow for a
pedestrian-friendly neighborhood. Staff presented three different possibilities that would allow mixed-use for discussion with the pros and cons of each. The possibilities presented
were to create a mixed-use zoning district, a mixed-use overlay, or to allow mixed-use developments to be constructed under a Planned Unit De velopment (PUD). A joint hearing may possibly take place on June 7, 2004. Council directed Staff to move forward with this item.
B.Information Presentation regarding Legal Non-Conforming Uses (30 min.)
Staff gave a presentation which highlighted issues of why a lot is non-conforming, what
non-conforming means, and how a non-conforming lot must be addressed to allow for the
lot to be developed and meet current ordinance requirements.
