Commissioners reviewed the preliminary plat packet (PZ202042368) and several members raised concerns that the civic green space shown in earlier diagrams would not be located adjacent to an existing apartment building as they had expected. One commissioner who said she delivers Meals on Wheels to nearby residents noted that some apartment residents \"get up, they take a little walk\" and questioned whether the final layout would leave those residents facing a fence and a parking lot rather than parkland.

Planning staff explained that a preliminary plat typically addresses lot lines, streets and utilities rather than final site improvements; site plans and building permits are handled administratively and may show more detailed landscaping, fencing or buffers. Staff said the preliminary plat as submitted is consistent with the neighborhood plan and with the project’s building and parking locations shown in the application materials.

A commissioner asked whether the commission will see the site plan; staff replied that site plans are administrative, but the streets and subject improvement plan will be reviewed before construction. The commission discussed the possibility of asking the developer to reconsider the corner adjacent to the apartments, and staff said they would relay the commissioners’ concern to the developer.

When moved for approval, the motion to forward the preliminary plat carried unanimously. The motion was made by Commissioner Alvilus Torsberg and seconded by Commissioner Newman. Commissioners asked staff to report back to the commission with the developer’s response to the buffer/park placement concern.","The commission approved the Foundry preliminary plat for a 10.69-acre tract near Old Granger Road and North Main Street; commissioners raised concerns that the civic/green space shown on preliminary materials may not provide the buffer previously described for nearby apartment residents.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6640454,"City manager: proposed LDC amendment would require special-use permits for multifamily and RV parks",181,486000,667000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2555959-a69a811d925077617a380bf739fc9377&start=486&end=667","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2555959-a69a811d925077617a380bf739fc9377/thumbnail_486000.jpg","/articles/6640454/Taylor/Williamson-County/Texas/City-manager-proposed-LDC-amendment-would-require-special-use-permits-for-multifamily-and-RV-parks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6640454-a27aa54d433d7eae6514c57b4ca33af3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157206&Signature=KKZrlGjj1bCR9vC9TrxGOcj221pT5-78Q~3t5taHkUmTuZGFVTHD2tjTiST1HHfLdXWUAw~Ej7LpWsLp01wHbaPD8jy~272~3xHu8Eub4Nuk9w5NRS~zirmHuBJnPE~QFjUDQeZHTiUKqlraqtXZzAadim7ksfrDCE~Ntzs5KIxVnT5wCHzGv4bjsl1y8cuqbXCR-uTEqlea7CUBa2nKNpNX0NTRcYi-Zr~ChScp2LO2eYiQZoL0K~GDkY-WWwzYgX5kO0SvIQLAOU6ExIk~PYF8W1bNwudsWsVPID78ySop19BCy5BHBFPOLzXtWsT7fRJeW~ei21aOCfUEffpiDg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City Manager Carly Pearson told the Planning and Zoning Commission that staff is preparing a limited amendment to the Land Development Code that would require special-use permits (SUPs) for new multifamily developments and recreational vehicle (RV) parks.

Pearson said the proposed amendment, developed from council direction, would not include accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or manufactured homes. “So this is city manager, Carly Pearson. She's working on that, but it'll just be, SUPs required for multifamily and RV parks. So ADUs are being removed from it, as well as the manufactured homes are being removed from it,” Pearson said.

Pearson told the commission that every property owner in the city will receive a mailed notice explaining the limited change and that staff will present the amendment to the commission in May before forwarding it to council. She described the measure as a short-term, local control “stop-gap” while the state legislature works on related legislation.

Commissioners asked about the scope and legal limits of local action. One commissioner noted uncertainties in the housing finance corporation statute and suggested the city could seek an injunction to bar an out-of-jurisdiction housing finance corporation from operating inside Taylor; Pearson said the SUP requirement is intended to give the city information about projects’ financing and operations rather than to bar multifamily development.

Pearson said neighborhood plans already “grandfather” many projects and that staff estimates more than 6,000 apartment units are already entitled under those plans; the SUP requirement would apply only to new applications received after the amendment is effective. Staff described the proposal as a short-term measure that might remain in place for about “a year or 2” on the city’s timeline.

Pearson said staff is assembling notice language and expects the item to appear on the commission’s May agenda for recommendation to council.","Taylor staff said city council directed a limited Land Development Code amendment to require special-use permits for new multifamily projects and RV parks; accessory dwelling units and manufactured homes were removed from the proposal and property-owner notice will be mailed.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6640460,"Taylor Planning and Zoning Commission reelects Amy as chair; Donna Frazier and Annette chosen as officers",155,321000,476000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2555959-a69a811d925077617a380bf739fc9377&start=321&end=476","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2555959-a69a811d925077617a380bf739fc9377/thumbnail_321000.jpg","/articles/6640460/Taylor/Williamson-County/Texas/Taylor-Planning-and-Zoning-Commission-reelects-Amy-as-chair-Donna-Frazier-and-Annette-chosen-as-officers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6640460-4b21e15dba3629886d5179540375c4c6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157206&Signature=FcNnBeK69kHaizQa6qKUU6I2h~yrx7K1775L4g17i7UEhOKcH0N6f9JUdu-YvR7ivWA-OW-N4uzH2xiMWquZq91dRZ6vVyWlUmPEgAfdi~DhdUrIZBO1O9ZofN3HOOZmxFFDoKYulpdsHonsRMatKGRVkjy6f4CBaNCHUyJvk5IFn1UWV9soDq4oX-CxALUFHsHojvtdhgpRYNgCaYil4nOWe3ZYlsBQyI~5U750uHh3vS6geJaZuL1CRHnYhHGTWE-ZcyjCOe9WJALrk95Fs~CaI90GAD1GkKP-DUnKTMI05Ubr~nQxDs9NQEQ39JY~CKOL8tnVPfoO9MTcWALmEQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning and Zoning Commission of Taylor reelected its incumbent chair, Amy, and selected Donna Frazier as vice chair and Annette as secretary during officer elections held at the start of the meeting.

The commission opened with nominations and multiple competing motions. After separate votes for each office, Amy remained chair; Donna Frazier was elected vice chair; and Annette was elected secretary. The commission chair announced, “So I will remain the chair,” after the chair ballots were taken. Members confirmed the other officer results by voice vote, and the chair stated, “We have new officers.”

Nominations were made from the dais, and commissioners discussed procedure for electing officers, agreeing to vote for each office separately rather than moving a single omnibus nominations motion. The reorganization proceeded without further public debate.

The commission then moved on to its regular agenda.

The election follows the commission's standard annual reorganization practice for selecting a chair, vice chair and secretary.","The Taylor Planning and Zoning Commission reelected its incumbent chair and selected Donna Frazier as vice chair and Annette as secretary during a unanimous reorganization vote at the start of the meeting.","actionData","errors"]
