Item No. 5.1.
Restricted Occupancy Overlay Ordinance
Sponsor:Alyssa Halle-Schramm, Planner
Reviewed By CBC:City Council
Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action on the public input gathered on the
proposed Restricted Occupancy Overlay ordinance.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Neighborhood Integrity
Good Governance
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends that the Council provide direction as appropriate.
Summary: City Council requested that City staff draft a Restricted Occupancy Overlay (ROO)
ordinance and associated handbook that would allow single-family property owners the option to
request an overlay zoning restricting occupancy to no more than two unrelated persons in their
subdivision. The Council asked for a process that mirrored the City’s Neighborhood Conservation
Overlay ordinance and handbook, as well as used the City of Bryan’s Residential-Neighborhood
Conservation zoning district as a base.
Staff conducted research, drafted an ordinance and handbook, and presented these during
workshop sessions of the Planning & Zoning Commission on June 18, 2020, and City Council on
June 25, 2020. The Council requested additional public input on a few key items so that everyone
impacted and particularly neighborhoods, the real estate and development community, and university
students could provide meaningful input. Staff began that process in August 2020 and quickly
identified there were substantial concerns regarding the City’s definition of “related’ and how it
affected the determination of a “family.”
In response to citizen concern and Council direction, staff paused the ROO public input process and
overhauled the definitions to address their restrictive nature and modernize them in accordance with
legal precedent. The updated definitions, which substantially revised “family” and removed “related,”
were adopted by the City Council on December 10, 2020. With the new “family” definition in place,
staff launched the ROO public input process. Staff hosted three public input meetings that were
specifically tailored to the aforementioned groups, including February 8 for the real estate and
development community, February 22 for university students, and February 23, 2021, for
neighborhood organizations. Staff also hosted an online poll from February 9 through 26.
Staff will present a summary of input from those meetings and the poll for the Council’s consideration
and direction regarding how to proceed with the draft ROO ordinance and handbook.
