revising the regulations for posting a sign regarding a zoning map
amendment. PUBLIC HEARING
Assistant to the City Manager Logan Thatcher presented the item to the Commission
and advised that the proposed ordinance cleans up language in the City's Code of
Ordinances to show that the City is responsible for posting signs on the property of a
proposed zoning change 10 days prior to the public hearing rather than the applicant
being responsible for the signs.

public hearing at 6:05 p.m.

Review Procedures" of Chapter 90, Zoning" of the Richland Hills City

6. Approved Ordinance 1462-22, amending Section 6.08, "Specific Use Permit
(SUP)" of Article 6, "Development Review Procedures" of Chapter 90,
Zoning" of the Richland Hills City Code by removing references to the
zoning map. PUBLIC HEARING
Assistant to the City Manager Logan Thatcher presented the item to the Commission
and advised that the proposed ordinance amends Section 6.08.01(H) of Article VI,
"Development Review Procedures," of Chapter 90, "Zoning," of the Richland Hills Code
to read as follows:
"(H) Attached only to property. Specific use permits are attached to the property, not to
the owner, the business, or the subtenant."
He advised that the current requirement to update the official City map whenever a
Specific Use Permit (SUP) will be removed as SUPs are conditional and have limited
uses and the expense to update the map is prohibitive.
Chair Wilson opened the public hearing at 6:11 p.m. and asked to hear from any
proponents followed by opponents of the case. Hearing none, Chair Wilson closed the
public hearing at 6:11 p.m.
Motion: Motion was made by Commissioner Witt and seconded by Commissioner
