*PUBLIC HEARING* AN ORDINANCE REZONING 1207 EAST HENDERSON STREET, BEING .406 ACRES, FROM SF4 (SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING) TO C3 (COMMERCIAL), AS REQUESTED BY LAZARO AND GUADALUPE NAJERA. Person presenting this item: Courtney Coates, Public Works Director BRIEF: P&Z considered this at its June 8, 2015 meeting. The purpose for this is to rezone the back approximately 45 feet of 1207 E Henderson from SF-4 (Single-Family Dwelling District) to C3 (Commercial District) to match the rest of the zoning of the lot. The zoning for this property is SF-4 (Single-Family Dwelling District) and C3 (Commercial District). The surrounding zoning is SF-4 (Single-Family Dwelling District) and C3 (Commercial District). The Comprehensive Land Use Plan shows this area to be Local Node and Central Corridor and surrounding area to be Local Node, Central Corridor and Center City East. P&Z recommended approval of the rezone with a vote of 7-0.
*PUBLIC HEARING* AN ORDINANCE APPROVING SIGN VARIANCE AT 502 NORTH MAIN STREET, AS REQUESTED BY ROYCE PHARMACY, REPRESENTED BY MATT HARPOLE, SIGNS EXPRESS. Person presenting this item: Courtney Coates, Public Works Director BRIEF: A sign application was submitted for an electronic pole sign. The permit was denied as per Chapter 156: Appendix A, Table 1 - Electronic Signs, which states that an electronic sign cannot be any larger than 32 square feet and it must be a minimum of 500 square feet from an existing electronic sign. The proposed sign is 40 square feet and 3 inches and is 400 feet away from an existing electronic sign.

To be competitive with area airports, the ability to offer a maximum of 40 years before the improvements revert to the City may give investors more of an incentive to build facilities.

Person presenting this item: Clint Ishmael, Fire Chief BRIEF: In 2004, the City of Cleburne and the City of Burleson initiated civil action in the 18th Judicial District Court against the City of Joshua over disputes on the extra territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and corporate City limits. A settlement agreement was reached by all three cities and the Court mandated the Cities meet and ratify an agreement establishing mutually agreed upon boundaries for ETJ and corporate City limits in those areas where Cleburne, Burleson and Joshua boundaries adjoin. Staff of all three Cities have met and developed a proposed agreement that simplifies, clarifies and better defines the boundaries separating the three Cities. Staff is requesting approval of the proposed agreement.
REAPPOINTMENT TO MUSEUM ADVISORY BOARD. Person presenting this item: Burton Barr, Director of Parks and Recreation BRIEF: Mr. David Wilbanks’ 1st term expired April 9th. Staff respectfully requests that Mr. Wilbanks be reappointed to a 2nd term.
