BRENHAM PLANNING AND ZONING TO ADDRESS LONG AGENDA MONDAY

  

Brenham’s Planning and Zoning Commission has a lengthy list of items on its agenda when it meets Monday afternoon.

The Commission will look at a request to rezone 51 acres of property west of the intersections of South Market Street, Cantey Street, and Highway 290 East.

Brenham Market Square, LP wants to develop the property with a mixture of uses, including multi-family housing, retail, and office uses.  Staff are recommending approval of the rezoning request.

The Commission will also consider two city-initiated requests. The first deals with changing city ordinance to redefine and set standards for accessory dwelling units, which are accessory buildings for a single-family unit designed for occupancy.  The second request looks to prohibit metal exteriors for residential uses over 120 square feet in area.  Staff recommend approval of both requests.

Also on the agenda, the Commission will consider final plats of the Burnett and Blue Bell subdivisions, and replatting of a lot located at 2305 Ralston Creek Court.  Staff are recommending approval of each item.

Members will also act upon the election of a Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, and Deputy Secretary to the Commission for 2019. In addition, they will receive an annual update from Development Services.

The Commission will hold a workshop before its regular meeting, to discuss the city’s proposed sign ordinance changes. The workshop will begin at 4:30 p.m., while the Commission’s regular meeting begins at 5:15 p.m., in the City Hall Council Chambers.
