Planning Commission Meeting Minutes -Final November 1,2023
SUMMARY:
As part of the 88th Texas Legislature, bills were passed into laws that became effective
on September 1, 2023. Such new laws are related to municipalities establishing platting
regulations regarding land subdivision applications and public notifications due to
changes to the Texas Local Government Code, the following amendments to the UDC
are recommended.
BACKGROUND:
Senate Bill 929: Amendment to Chapter 211 of the Texas Local Government Code
relating to the notice and compensation by municipality required before revoking right to
use property for a use that was allowed before the adoption of or change to a zoning
regulation or boundary. Additionally, if a municipality imposes a requirement to stop a
non-conforming use that includes the action by governing body, board, or commission, or
official, or determines that the non-conforming use has an adverse effect, the owner is
entitled to compensation based on market value, or continued nonconforming use of the
property until the owner recovers the amount determined through business activities.
Proposed amendment to UDC Section 3.7.3: Will establish the conditions of mailed
public notices including public notifications in the case of the creation of a nonconforming
use via either a rezoning or change to the UDC to property owners and tenants.
House Bill 3699: Amendment to Chapter 212 of the Texas Local Government Code
relating to the establishment of requirements by a municipality for the application for land
subdivision (platting) and the criteria for determining completeness of a land subdivision
application. Additionally, each municipality shall adopt and make available to the public a
complete, written list of all documentation and other information that the municipality
requires to be submitted with a plat application. Municipality shall continuously maintain
the list on the Internet not later than the 30th day after the date the municipality adopts or
amends the list.
Proposed amendment to UDC Section 3.1.6: Will establish the requirements for
submittal of land subdivision applications (platting). Additionally, this subsection will
incorporate into the UDC a formalized list of application requirements to determine the
completeness of a land subdivision (platting) application.
ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS:
Per§3.2.3 of the UDC, in determining whether to approve, approve with modifications, or
deny a proposed Unified Development Code text amendment, the applicable review
bodies shall consider the following criteria:
1. The amendment promotes the purpose of this Unified Development Code as
established in Section 1.2. The UDC was established to reflect the City's
City of Corpus Christi Page 4 Printed on 1111612023
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes -Final November 1,2023
Comprehensive Plan and its goal to improve and protect public health, safety, and
welfare.
2. The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The amendments are consistent with other codes and ordinances adopted by the City
and are otherwise internally consistent with other provisions of this Unified Development
Code, or that any provisions with which the amendments are or may be inconsistent also
are proposed to be modified. The effects of all such modifications shall meet the above
criteria, promote the public health, safety, and welfare, and be consistent with any
applicable federal and state requirements.
4. The fiscal impact on the City and the effect on taxpayers and ratepayers of the
proposed amendment.
The proposed text amendments do not conflict with existing language in the UDC nor the
Municipal Code. Additionally, the adoption of new state statues is directly linked to the
third condition of the review criteria listed above.
