Election of Chair and Vice-Chair
Ryan
Granata, Planning Manager for the City of League
City, suggested that this item be moved to the second meeting in March due to
the absences of commissioners.
Mr. Turner and Mr. Arnold
asked why another election was being held.
Mr. Granata
stated that a new election should be held because the commission is currently
full and the previous election was only for an interim Chair and Vice Chair.
Nghiem Doan, City Attorney, stated that the commission could
postpone the item or could pass on the item because it was not fully expressed
by staff that the previous vote was interim, and a new
vote could be done next year.
Mr. Doan stated that no
action was required. No action was taken on the item.

surrounding the event with access points marked, and 4.) Copies of food permits
from all food vendors shall be provided before the start of the event.
Paul
Menzies, Director of Planning and Development, asked for clarification about
this being the first year of them going through the Temporary Use Permit
process, and what triggered that.
Mr.
Linenschmidt stated that there was no change in the ordinance, only change in
personnel, and previous personnel did it one way, but the current staff wants
to provide a better process for Temporary Use Permits and provide more safety
for the event goers and the area, and this will be the first year the event is
held in September and the first time they will be having the event twice in one
year, as opposed to annually, and it will be the largest boat show in the area.
Mr.
Menzies asked if this process stops with the Planning and Zoning Commission or
is it a recommendation for the City Council.
Mr.
Linenschmidt stated that it stops at this commission.
Mr.
Menzies asked if the sole authority, for the Temporary Use Permit, rest with
this board.
Mr.
Linenschmidt stated yes.

emergencies.

Mr.
Linenschmidt stated that the person he spoke to at the police department had
not indicated that there were issues.

Mr.
Linenschmidt stated yes, but they are not required to have police direct
traffic.

Staff Comments
Richard
Werbiskis, Assistant Director of Planning &
Development, welcomed the new commissioner to meet with City staff, and commented
that staff is updating Subdivision ordinances, this calendar year, and will be
forming a subcommittee of interested parties within the City, representing the
Commission and the development community, and other private parties interested,
such as surveyors and developers to view the proposed changes to the ordinances
and give feedback.
Mr.
Menzies stated that there will be a lot of changes to the ordinances and that
the as the population grows, the codes will have to reflect the changes, and be
updated.
Mr.
Arnold asked why a rezoning case, with Johnson Development, is going before the
City Council for a second reading, even though this commission has not ruled on
it.
Mr.
Menzies stated that the Commission as it existed in March and April of 2015
recommended on that case and City Council did not take action on the item, in
August of last year, so the last meeting the developer requested that action be
taken on the item to rezone the property, to allow for duplexes, which was
approved 4-0-2, however, to pass an ordinance requires two readings, so the
item will come up again at City Council for a second reading.
Mr.
Arnold asked if a zoning case comes to them and then goes to City Council.
Mr.
Werbiskis stated that was correct.
Mr.
Turner commented that his email was incorrect and gave his correct email.
VII.

Douglas Turner adjourned the meeting at 6:38 PM.
