ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
In November 2023, the City Council approved changes to the Unified Development Code that required a Special Use Permit for Medical Office and Clinic, Hospital, and Licensed Massage Therapy uses if certain violations of the Texas Penal Code had occurred. Since the effective date of that ordinance, staff has enforced the provisions of the ordinance on several establishments that had multiple prostitution related offenses. During the enforcement process, staff identified the need to clarify certain terms in the ordinance as proposed by these amendments. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimous approval (5-0) on June 4, 2024.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the caption above.
AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS:
Richard E. Luedke, AICP, Planning Director
Brook Rollins, Police Chief
