City Council Regular Meeting
April 23, 2019 |
| | | | | | | | SUBJECT:
Discussion and possible direction to staff to write an ordinance for council consideration, which would create a citizen-driven appeal process for HARC like the one which is currently used for P&Z -- Rachael Jonrowe, Councilmember District 6 |
| | | | | | | | ITEM SUMMARY:
This ordinance could include the following, as per the Texas local code used for zoning:
In the event that a request for a demolition/relocation or a CoA is to be brought before HARC, all property owners within 200 feet must be notified, in writing.
If enough owners of the property within 200 feet object to the proposed demolition/relocation/CoA to meet the 20% threshold, then:
HARC must approve by a super-majority. If HARC approves by the required super-majority, then one of the qualified objecting property owners may appeal the HARC decision to the city council. City Council would overturn the HARC decision with a super-majority vote.
If HARC votes to deny the project, applicant can appeal to the City Council, which would have to vote by a super-majority to overturn the vote.
If less than the 20% threshold is met, then:
HARC approves/denies by a simply majority, and no property owner could appeal.
If HARC votes for a denial, then the applicant could appeal to City Council. City Council would overturn HARC decision with a simple majority vote.
