A board member said the permit had been issued and paid for on May 20 and that staff will check with the permit holder to determine why installation has not occurred. The member said an order required the installation within six months of the order and that the sign appeared to have been fabricated before the permit was issued; installation may be a scheduling or contractor issue.

Board members also reviewed time limits in the board’s rules: the board said applicants typically have up to one year to obtain a permit and up to two years to complete build-out under the rules the board follows. The board described those deadlines as designed to prevent indefinite delays for permitted projects.

No enforcement action or further sanction was recorded in the meeting transcript; members said staff will follow up to confirm the installation status.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Bellaire - Board of Adjustment - Regular Session - Jul 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Board members were updated that a permit for a dentist office sign was issued May 20 and that, while the sign appears to have been manufactured, staff has not yet observed installation; the board said it will follow up on the permit timeline and noted permit and build-out windows in the rules.","taxTitle","Bellaire, Harris County, Texas","taxId",69496,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6683742,"City shortens board term limits, to backfill vacant seat from recent applicant pool",185,148000,333000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5418251-125c823c51867b2122d1e6f6df070618&start=148&end=333","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5418251-125c823c51867b2122d1e6f6df070618/thumbnail_148000.jpg","/articles/6683742/Bellaire/Harris-County/Texas/City-shortens-board-term-limits-to-backfill-vacant-seat-from-recent-applicant-pool","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6683742-b3605ce825fda05c2ed5a5f68c6df590/orig.mp4?Expires=1770983600&Signature=fvjbNEy9ETQwXRf37dz3U98EFRrOdPzn25bJkJXdVmVxIKjaeuX~fyAl1mRxI2pstWjMu-Llt0vgpHq-zKakIdLNXUKDTtYExeG-MwfyhWMsUNh1BdYHbQiVSu5C2a4HQWMYxfiIunPO5m3ZQzgIHJoiwTUFg3Z0sFWt-0vDTrhTUR3RHDYb-ERBNqS-8nM-BCUgAAK-y5dHnbjpPHwKPW3ZZ9xZlpTYJd4J5O8D8XIFie5XVTekHa5ocInu2xlZ2M0fDB6HkxFTLA~npavk1Ln0tfOYdsht9ijPtiKIbwX~V9bItSh6Efycsqzo8UDgGXdR7quaWKOimYWXhsYh7Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff and board members told the Bellaire Board of Adjustment that citywide changes to boards-and-commissions rules will limit service to two full two-year terms, and that a recently vacated seat will be filled from the most recent applicant pool.

A board member explained the change is intended to increase opportunities for new applicants after several cycles with many applicants for few open seats. Under the revised rule, members may serve a maximum of two full two-year terms (four years); partial terms do not count toward the limit. The board member said a former member who serves a partial term could still serve five years in total under the revised policy and that, after serving four years, an individual may reapply to the same board after a one-year break or apply for a different board immediately.

The board discussed the city’s practice of filling vacancies by selecting from applicants who applied during the most recent cycle. The group said Laura’s seat will be filled this way and that the appointment is expected to be on the agenda for the next Monday meeting. “We will be filling Laura's seat, as a backfill,” a board member said.

Members also reported strong recent interest across multiple advisory bodies. Parks and Recreation, the Environmental Sustainability Board and the Culture and Arts Board were cited as having large applicant pools; the Culture and Arts Board and Environmental Sustainability Board were expanded from seven to nine members in recent changes. Board members described the abundance of applicants as a “good problem” but said it complicates interview and appointment processes.","City staff and members told the Bellaire Board of Adjustment that the city changed boards-and-commissions rules to limit service to two full two-year terms, clarified partial-term rules, and will fill a recent vacancy from applicants who applied in the last cycle.",{"_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},6683746,"Bellaire Board of Adjustment elects chair and vice chair; approves rules and 2026 calendar",1030,81000,1111000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5418251-125c823c51867b2122d1e6f6df070618&start=81&end=1111","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5418251-125c823c51867b2122d1e6f6df070618/thumbnail_81000.jpg","/articles/6683746/Bellaire/Harris-County/Texas/Bellaire-Board-of-Adjustment-elects-chair-and-vice-chair-approves-rules-and-2026-calendar","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6683746-218071b85575c051baa177fb6d6deee5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770983600&Signature=fitCjlVhy~OCE3~8dC0CHyay3ZQANYeec30e~GmK-yYmxyaJ5O59S6uZ-zkTR-NRgR4MiaUYsopmr3mea4E~eeK0gUr57dtcyh7KBTIzqHNn2BQuFcUcEA-8vTe89JhMZMWlpvtiTQI3ZxdjoYj26sKQeeaaIZW8Mv4~nmTBYRo0LmDw9KjJl7x3KLx5ym1S6Q0SYkPvgsQojw3xaOqEf6KhJyPkmA22zUp~TTRAqsAJ1IvHSoE9L11WNF5M49hknZqzMPSAAgKSz~hpw2~fVMNyNlq9BQ3vgaSByNSaYxH6ZIk7vXU9OAqqd-95l8oHkY2JnEXPOElJfCiWpQJZPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bellaire Board of Adjustment approved meeting minutes, elected a chair and vice chair and adopted updated rules of procedure and a 2026 submittal calendar during its meeting.

The board approved the previous meeting’s minutes and then moved to elections. Chair (presiding officer) called for nominations and the board appointed a chair and a vice chair by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript. “All those in favor, say aye,” the chair said before announcing the appointments.

Members then voted to adopt updated rules of procedure. The changes are limited, the board said, to the regular meeting time (set at 6:00 p.m. instead of 7:00 p.m.) and minor corrections to typographical errors. A member moved to approve the rules “except for the typos where it says the meeting start at 7,” and the motion passed by voice vote. The board also adopted a 2026 submittal calendar; members noted deadlines and a planned August recess when a quorum is not expected.

Board members discussed chair duties, including preparing an annual report in January for presentation at a city event the board referred to as the “State of the City.” Trace (staff member) was referenced as the contact for training information. The board was reminded that submittal deadlines fall several weeks before meeting dates and that the calendar lists when applicants must submit materials.

The board concluded by reminding members to mark meeting dates on their calendars and noting that the adopted changes to procedure have been reviewed in prior cycles.

Votes and formal actions recorded in the meeting transcript were procedural and passed by voice votes; no recorded roll-call tallies or recorded dissent appear in the transcript.","The Bellaire Board of Adjustment approved its minutes, elected a chair and vice chair, adopted updated rules of procedure (including a 6:00 p.m. start time), and adopted a draft 2026 submittal calendar; members also confirmed meeting deadlines and a planned August recess.","actionData","errors"]
