Verify protest-petition supermajority for New Life Assembly corridor rezoning
Context: Item 9 (Z-25-000060) carried 11-0 individually rather than on the June 11 consent agenda, and Texas Local Government Code Ch. 211 requires a 3/4 council vote when a valid protest petition exists.
Recommended: Pull the June 24 City Council minutes to confirm whether the ordinance passed by simple majority or required the three-fourths supermajority Texas law mandates when a valid protest petition is on file — Item 9 was pulled for individual consideration at the June 11 Plan Commission rather than riding the consent agenda, a common signal that an adjacent owner filed a protest. If a protest was filed but the wrong voting threshold was applied, the approval is vulnerable to challenge.
Ask why corridor church zoning case skipped consent agenda
Context: Z-25-000060 was heard individually on June 11 while 30 of the 40 zoning cases on the same docket carried staff-approval recommendations and moved on consent, yet it still carried 11-0 before Council adopted it June 24.
Recommended: Request the Plan Commission's agenda backup for Item 9 to identify who asked for it to be pulled from consent — staff, the applicant, or a nearby property owner — since unanimous votes rarely need individual hearings absent an objection first.
