AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Wolf Pen Creep Implementation Subcommittee Report.
This item was postponed until the next workshop meeting.
AGENDA ITEM N. : Discussion of changing the College Station Zoning Ordinance to allow
the City Council to modify the Planning & Zoning Commission's decisions on Conditional Use
Permits.
Senior Planner McCully asked the Commission for their input on changing the Zoning Ordinance to
allow the City Council to modify P &Z decisions on Conditional Use Permits when they are appealed at
the Council level. The ordinance currently allows the Council to either uphold or deny the P &Z's
decision. This question was brought up when the Council heard an appeal to the Commission's decision
to allow a nightclub in Northgate. City Planner Kee told the Commission that there would be no legal
problems with amending the ordinance. Some Commissioners felt that this would lengthen the process.
It was decided that this item would be on a future workshop agenda to be addressed when the full
Commission was present.
