4. Consider amending the Subdivision and Site Development Regulations in the Code of
Ordinances, specifically Sections 26.01.006, 26.02.002, 26.02.003, 26.02.004 and
26.05.003.
Despite objections from numerous cities, including Beaumont as well as the Texas Chapter
of the American Planning Association, HB 3167 was recently approved by the Texas
Legislature and signed into law by Governor Abbott. The stated purpose of the bill was to
mandate a strict "shot clock" for rapid subdivision review and allow for a liberal appeal
process. While this bill may have addressed issues in some larger jurisdictions, historically,
the issues it attempted to address were not common in Beaumont. Unfortunately, the law
will greatly limit the ability of the Planning Commission and staff to work with applicants to get
a plat approved due to the strict new "shot clock".
Specifically, the new law requires that the Planning Commission vote on a proposed plat
within thirty (30) days of submission. In the past, applicants were able to request extensions
to address issues with a plat and the item could be heard at the next meeting. Under this
new law, an applicant may request an extension in writing. However, if the Commission
agrees to the extension, a special meeting would have to be held to then vote on the item to
meet the new "shot clock" requirements.
In addition, conditional approvals and denials will need to specifically articulate the reason for
a condition or denial, citing the specific regulation.
In addition, at any point after a conditional approval or denial of a plat, the applicant may
appeal the decision of the Planning Commission. The Commission will then have to
reconvene within fifteen (15) days. If the next regularly scheduled meeting is beyond the
mandated fifteen (15) day period, a special meeting of the Commission would be required to
be held. Should any of these mandated deadlines be missed, the plat would be deemed
automatically approved, regardless of the deficiencies.
Due to the mandate for the amendment to the City's ordinances, staff is taking the
opportunity to recommend some other amendments to the Subdivision Regulations. Most of
these proposed changes are minor. However, staff is recommending a clarification of the
definition of "Frontage". Historically, new lots should have adequate frontage on a public
street or road or a private street, if approved by the Planning Commission. This provides for
orderly development and access to needed public services such as access, water, sewer
Minutes — August 27, 2019
and other utilities as well as access to police and fire services. However, it may be
acceptable to consider commercial lots that have direct access not to a public street, but via
an easement, provided this easement is open to the public and perpetual.
At a Joint Public Hearing held on August 19, 2019, the Planning Commission recommended
7:0 to approve the various amendments.
Approval of the ordinance.
