Sample Mayor REV EWED: Scott Bounds, Olson and Olson, LLP City Attorney Exhibit A City of West University Place Zoning & Planning Commission Preliminary Reports Exhibit A City of West University Place Zoning & Planning Commission Preliminary Reports Exhibit A City of West University Place Zoning & Planning Commission Preliminary Reports Zoning & Planning Commission City of West University Place, Texas 3800 University Boulevard West University Place, Texas, 77005 November 9,2023 Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council City of West University Place 3800 University Boulevard Houston, Texas 77005 Subject: Preliminary report on the current Zoning Ordinance of the City of west University Place, Texas ("City") relating to the consolidation of the SF -1, SF -2, and SF -3 Zoning Districts. To the Honorable Mayor & Members of City Council: The Zoning and Planning Commission (the "Commission") of the City submits this, its preliminary report, having proposed modifications to the Zoning Ordinance for the consolidation of the SF -1, SF -2, and SF -3 Zoning Districts into one unified Single -Family (SF) District. Additionally, modifications have been proposed to correct various scrivener's errors located throughout the Zoning Ordinance. Existing Ordinance provisions for SF -1, SF -2, and SF -3. The current Zoning Ordinance prescribes regulations for each single-family zoning district within Article 7. - District -Specific Regulations. Section 7- 101. - Regulations, tables, etc. specifies the requirements for the following regulation categories: • Uses (Table 7-1); • Yards (Table 7-2); • Open & Pervious Areas (Table 7-3); • Garage Space (Table 7-4a), Buildings (Table 7-4b); • Parking, Driveways, etc. (Table 7-5a); • Certain Structures (Table 7-5b) and; • Projections (Table 7-6). Analysis. Currently, the regulations provided in Article 7 of the Zoning Ordinance are displayed in table format with the regulations for all zoning districts consolidated into one table for each regulation category. This can cause difficulty for end-users who are unfamiliar with the layout of the Zoning Ordinance when they are attempting to ascertain which regulations they must comply with to construct a home within the single-family zoning districts. The primary goal of this district consolidation initiative is to separate out the regulations which apply to the single-family zoning districts to simplify and clarify the research process for end-users such as residents, architects, builders, designers, and laypersons when attempting to ascertain which regulations and technical references apply to their building site. In pursuit of determining the merits of consolidating the SF -1, SF -2, and SF -3 zoning districts into one unified single-family district, the Commission investigated what currently existing provisions within the Zoning Ordinance differentiate each of the single-family zoning districts. After significant research, it was concluded that, barring two exceptions, all existing provisions for single-family zoning districts 1, 2, and 3 were identical. The first exception pertains to rotated corner building sites, which are defined as corner building sites in the SF -1 District which have been "rotated" from one street to the other such that it has a front street line lying along a street that is different from the street along which the front street line of the original corner lot would lie. The second exception pertains to "old building sites", which are defined in Table 5-1, Building Site Dimensions, as building sites that were established prior to October 24, 1987. This table specifies alternate width, depth, and area requirements for old b-.j:lding sites located in the SF -2 Zoning District. To facilitate the creation of a unified SF District, the Commission recommends the creation of two overlay districts, the Rotated Corner Overlay District (the "RCOD") and the Old Building Site Overlay District (the "OSSOD"). The ROOD was created to provide regulations to maintain and protect the City's single --family residences and neighborhoods in areas where corner lots have been divided and reoriented. The OBSOD was created to maintain and protect building sites designated prior to October 24, 1987, and to provide regulations for the re -subdivision of old building sites that do not conform to the current City building site standards of 75 feet in width, 110 feet in depth, and 8,250 square feet in area. In addition to the creation of the specified overlay districts above, the Zoning & Planning Commission recommends the subdivision of Appendix A, Article 7. - District -Specific Regulations into Articles 7A, 7B, 7C, and 7D. Article 7A, which will contain all SF District - Specific Regulations. Article 7B, which will contain all Non -SF District - Specific Regulations. Article 7C, which will contain all Commercial District Specific Regulations. Article 7D, which will contain all Planned Development District -Specific Regulations. Recommendation. Based on the review given by the Commission regarding the consolidation of the SF -1, SF -2, and SF -3 zoning districts, it has been recommended that changes be made to the Zoning Ordinance at this time. This review concludes that in order to better serve the residents and working professionals of the city, Article 7 of the Zoning Ordinance should be subdivided into four separate articles: 7A, 7B, 7C, and 7D. This subdivision aims to assist homeowners in navigating and interpreting the code, as well as to enhance the technical research experience for professionals and city staff when assessing the applicable zoning regulations for a project by zoning district. To ensure that the regulations pertaining to "Old Building Sites" and "Rotated Corner Building Sites" are preserved, the Commission recommends the creation of the Old Building Site Overlay District (OBSOD) and Rotated Corner Overlay District (RCOD). Additionally, the Commission recommends the creation of a single-family (SF) district to consolidate the currently existing SF -1, SF -2, and SF - 3 zoning districts. The Vote. The vote on approval of this report was as follows: Cutrer, Yehle, Powell, Rephlo, Mazzu, and Howard voted "aye". Takashima was not present.

To the Honorable Mayor & Members of City Council: The Zoning and Planning Commission (the "Commission") of the City submits this, its preliminary report, having proposed modifications to the Zoning Ordinance to define and regulate sport related activities in residential areas. Existing Ordinance provisions for sport related activities. Regulations for sport related activities are currently limited to tennis courts and basketball goals within the existing Zoning Ordinance. Such regulations are located within Article 7 of the Zoning Ordinance (Sec. 7-101, Tables 7-5b, 7-6) . Table 7-5b establishes a maximum of one tennis court per residential building site in the single-family (the "SF") districts. Table 7-6 establishes permitted projections for basketball goals and tennis courts in the SF districts. Individual sport activities are not currently defined or encompassed by a broader definition in the existing Zoning Ordinance. Analysis. In pursuit of creating clear definitions and establishing regulations for sport related activities such as pickleball, the Commission has proposed modifications to the Zoning Ordinance at this time. The proposed modifications provide definitions for a number of sport activities by the creation of an encompassing sports court definition. Additionally, a definition was created to encompass those sport related activities which typically require an enclosure for responsible operation and play. Furthermore, entries for these newly defined terms were added to Tables 7-5b and 7-6 with accompanying notes that provide additional rules and special exception procedures. Principally, two new definitions were added to Sec. 2-102. The first term "Sport Court" was defined as any outdoor improved area (not including parking areas, driveways, or pools) designed for athletic or recreational purposes, including but not limited to tennis, basketball, handball, pickleball, volleyball, and racquetball courts. The second term "Practice Enclosure" was defined as a permanent or semi-permanent outdoor space that is generally enclosed on all sides by netting, and which is utilized for the practice of a sport activity (e.g., batting practice, golf, etc.) which is not otherwise prohibited by law or local ordinance. The line item which applied to tennis courts in Table 7-5b was struck and replaced by a line item for the newly defined sport court term. An additional line item was created for practice enclosures. Accompanying notes were added for each respective item. Existing notes 1 and 2 were amended to remove references to tennis courts. Additionally, a note was added to authorize the Zoning Board of Adjustment (the "Board") to issue a special exception for a sport court or practice enclosure in a different design or location than prescribed by Table 7-5b. The line item which applied to tennis courts in Table 7-6 was struck and replaced by a line item for the newly defined sport court term. An additional line item was created for practice enclosures. An accompanying note was added to restrict rear yard projection for a sport court or practice enclosure unless certain criteria are met. Recommendation. Based on the review given by the Commission regarding sport related activities in residential areas, it has been recommended that changes be made to the Zoning Ordinance at this time. This review concluded that the existing provisions within the Code of Ordinances need to be updated to define and provide regulations for a variety of sport related activities. The Vote. The vote on approval of this final report was as follows: Cutrer, Powell, Mazzu, and Howard voted "aye". Takashima voted "nay". Wilson and Fisher were not present.
