HomeMy WebLinkAbout01142021 ZPC Agenda Item 4 DATE: January 14, 2021
SUMMARY/ AC GROUND: This item is a discussion of the creation of a Public Facilities
Overlay District(PF) within the City of West University Place.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION ITEMS: This proposed item is to discuss the City's desire to create
a Public Facilities Overlay District. This Overlay would allow the City the ability to provide the
necessary services to the community without having to go before City Council for approval as
required in Section 6-101(3). This proposed Overlay District will allow for the existing zoning to
remain, and if the City does not require a parcel the base zoning district would guide future
development. This Overlay District will allow the city flexibility to provide locations throughout the
City for a range of public uses conducted by West University Place.
This proposed overlay district is essentially for the main local government buildings (City Hall
Complex, Public Works, ift Station, Water Plants) and for the parks and recreation center for the
City(See Exhibit A).

DESIGN PHASE ITHIN THE OVERLAY DISTRICT: During the City's design process for
City Facilities, the City shall as much as possible provide features that will be harmonious with
surrounding properties. Additionally, fencing would be provided between less intense uses and
properties within this Overlay District.
OVERSIGHT OF CITY PROJECTS: The City of West University Place would approve small and
large projects during the City's budgeting process. Any project at, or over, 50,000 would be
expressly approved by the City Council by the adopted budget or a budget amendment.
USES PERMITTED: This District permits publicly owned buildings such as City Hall,
administrative buildings, library, museum, fire station, public safety training facilities, and similar
structures. Public parks, playgrounds, swimming pool, pedestrian bicycle trails and similar public
recreation facilities as well as any incidental or accessory uses. These uses are operated in order to
provide basic and essential support services for the benefit of the community, while still being cost
effective and efficient. Due to the nature of these uses and the limited land area that West University
Place has, they have a need to be located in areas that best serve the community. The overlay zone
allows the city council,through its legislative discretion,to provide for areas in which to locate public
facilities to best support the community in a cost effective and efficient manner.
CURRENT ONING REGULATIONS: The Zoning Ordinance allows the city to develop new
projects under Section 6-101(3) Certain Affirmative Defenses.
It is an affirmative defense in any proceeding to enforce this ordinance that any of the following
sets of circumstances is applicable
(1) A variance, special exception or planned development district ordinance authorizing
the condition or activity in question was duly issued or adopted, as the case may be,
and all limitations and conditions therein prescribed are completely observed and
fulfilled.
(2) The condition or activity in question had status as a prior non-conformity(with respect
to the provision alleged to be violated) at the time of the alleged violation, in
accordance with Article 12.
(3) The condition or activity in question is (i) controlled by the City itself or its officers,
agents, employees or contractors, in the course of their duties for the City, and (ii)
approved by the City Council.
Possible Consideration by Planning and oning Commission:
1. Creating a Public Facilities Overlay District: By creating this specific Overlay
District it will relieve the City from the requirements of following the absolute
regulations of the Zoning District that the land is located while still considering the
zoning requirements and compatibility of the neighboring properties.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends adoption of the Public Facilities Overlay District, as it
will allow the continued support of necessary City services and provide for efficient governance.
