FDSCC raises funds for its charitable endeavors and scholarships with various annual fundraisers. Covid-19 drastically impacted their fundraising capabilities.

This year the Club hopes to bless 100 families with food (instead of 50). Additionally, they want to initiate a Christmas blessing for older children with haircuts, hair salon visits, and gift cards. This year the FDSCC is collaborating with the owners of ENDS to provide a Santa Claus, toys, games, and 100 bikes. The Texas City Commissioners Community Grant would be a blessing to Texas City as well as the FDSCC.

Information

ACTION REQUEST

Approve recommended changes to Chapter 90.012 of the Code or Ordinances regarding the use of unimproved/unopened rights of way.

BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)

This change is recommended to conform with existing city policies regarding the construction and maintenance of city streets by Public Works and the operation of fire engines and aerial apparatus on solid surfaced roadways defined as asphalt or concrete surface pavement.

Through annexation and past practices some areas of Texas City have unimproved, unopened rights of way which are not city maintained streets. The Subdivision Ordinance requires all new residential lots to have frontage on a public street. However, there is some confusion about the requirements for existing residential lots or parcels adjacent to an unimproved, unopened right of way. The recommended change to Chapter 90.012 will resolve the confusion by making the street standards of the Subdivision Ordinance Chapter 159 applicable to existing residential lots or parcels adjacent to unimproved, unopened rights of way.

RECOMMENDATION

The following departments have worked together in drafting the proposed revisions to Chapter 90.012 of the Code of Ordinances and recommend its approval:
Engineering & Planning,
Building Permits & Inspections,
Public Works,
Fire Department
