Commissioner Bill Bird arrived at 5:09 p.m. Mr. Mick McKamie, Associate City Attorney, gave a presentation on special use permits (hereinafter, SUPs) as a zoning tool. Commission discussion ensued regarding factors to be mindful of when considering SUPs; some questions were presented specific to requirements on length of expiration dates placed on SUPs (city or state regulated), flexibility with conditions placed on SUPs as they relate to aesthetics (design/materials), and density of a project. Mr. McKamie clarified that current City regulations that indicate a five year expiration period on SUPs are not state requirements. He explained that the number of years an SUP will expire can be shortened, but is not encouraged as a City would want an SUP to expire allowing it to go back to the base zoning. He further suggested that the Commission should state reasons that align with the criteria for approval outlined in the Unified Development Code when placing conditions on or denying SUPs. 4. COMMENTS FROM COMMISSION/LEGAL COUNSEL/STAFF - No discussion or action may take place No comments were received. 5. ADJOURNMENT Chairman adjourned the Planning and Zoning Commission at 5:49 p.m. _______________________________ Chairman City of Boerne Page 2 Printed on 9/2/2022 Planning and Zoning Commission Official Meeting Minutes August 1, 2022 CERTIFICATION I herby certify that the above notice of meeting was posted on the 29th day of July, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. _______________________________ Secretary City of Boerne Page 3 Printed on 9/2/2022
