Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance amending the Mesquite Subdivision Ordinance, thereby amending regulations related to the installation of utilities.
(The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the subdivision text amendment.)
Body
In 2019, the Subdivision Ordinance was amended to comply with House Bill 3167, commonly referred to as the “Shot Clock” bill. At that time, text was inadvertently deleted from the Ordinance requiring utilities to be located underground in residential developments. This ordinance would reinsert that requirement. In addition, staff is proposing to make the underground utility requirement applicable to new commercial development, as well.
On January 27, 2020, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed amendments to the Subdivision Ordinance.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
