their respective interests in the Property in the condemnation proceedings, (b) any award in
condemnation will be assigned to Buyer, (c) if the taking occurs before closing, the description of

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
AGENDA DATE: February 21, 2023
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Zoning Department
SUBJECT SI23-0004: Zoning Text Amendment- Appendix A
Conduct a public hearing, discuss, and consider an amendment regarding amendments to Appendix
A, Section 10 of the Code of Ordinances of the city of The Colony, Texas, by amending Section
10-100, entitled "schedule of uses by district,” by amendi ng the use chart by amending or adding
uses including “bar, lounge or tavern”, “beverage store”, “church”, “community home”, “convent
or monastery”, “institution of a religious, charitable or philanthropic nature”, “school, public

and “smoking room” uses; and amending Section 13 entitled “vehicle parking, parking lot and on -
site traffic regulations:” by amending Section 13 -101(a), entitled “generally”, by repealing the
prohibition on parking within setbacks.
BACKGROUND
During customary staff review and maintenance of the Zoning Ordinance, Staff found the Zoning
Ordinance needed amending to revise outdated and problematic text, and increase clarity regarding
the review and administration of existing land uses. Accordingly, a list of sections for amendment
was established by staff; the sections for amendment (with summary) are as follows:
Appendix A
“Community home means a place where not more than six (6) physically or mentally
impaired or handicapped persons are provided room and board, as well as supervised care and
rehabilitation by not more than two (2) persons as licensed by the state department of aging and
disability services (also see Chapter 123 of the Texas Human Resources Code, as amended).”
. . .
“47 School, public or denominational: An educational institution regulated by the state
which is operated by public or religious agency having a curriculum including kindergarten,
elementary or secondary education, including charter schools, but not including private, business,
commercial, trade, or craft schools.”
. . .
“Smoking lounge means a building or facility dedicated to the primary activity of smoking
defined as the carrying, possessing or holding of a pipe, hookah, cigarette, tobacco product, tobacco
substitute, electronic cigarette or e -cigarette or liquid nicotine of any kind which is burning or
emitting a vapor. Such establishments shall operate in accordance with Chapter 6, Article VIII of
the Code of Ordinances, and offer an air barrier system and air purification system or equivalent
systems.”
. . .
Item # 3.1
63
2
“Smoking room means a room common to, or within, a retail or service establishment that
provides patrons an area for smoking. Other services not directly related to the activity of smoking
may be provided by the establishment in a smoking room. Such establishments shall operate in
accordance with Chapter 6, Article VIII of the Code of Ordinances, and offer an air barrier system
and air purification system or equivalent systems.”
The following uses shall have their zoning allowance amended as follows :
Summary of proposed amendments
Bar, lounge or tavern uses and Beverage Store uses shall be permit ted “by right” with in all
commercial districts (O1, O2, NS, SC, GR , LC, HC, I, BP) however these uses will maintain
their distance requirements as stated below:
“(10-2205) It shall be unlawful for any person who is engaged in the business of
selling alcoholic beverages, excluding restaurants to sell alcoholic beverages,
within three hundred (300) feet of any church, public school or public hospital.
(10-2206) It shall be unlawful for any person who operates a beverage store, bar,
lounge or tavern, or private club with bar service to sell alcoholic beverages where
the said beverage store, bar, lounge, or tavern, or private club with bar service is
within 300 feet of any existing day care center or private school.
(10-2207) It shall be unlawful for any beverage store, bar, lounge, or tavern, or
private club with bar service to be constructed, erected or placed closer than 1,000
feet to another beverage store, bar, lounge or tave rn, or private club with bar
service.”
64
3
Churches (religious institutions) are permitted “by right” in all zoning districts where such
uses require Specific Use Permit (SUP). The proposed amendment is intended to become
congruent with the application of RLUIPA regulations. This amendment applies to
“Convent or Monastery uses and Institution of a religious, charitable or philanthropic
nature.”
Community Home(s) are not currently defined in the zoning ordinance, therefore any
proposed use did not fall within a defined process and further required an evaluation of the
information provided by the applicant to affirm the land use category in accordance with
State statutes. The proposed definition is as stated in the Texas Human Resources Code and
offers staff a clear response to inquiries of this nature.
The “School, public denominational” definition has been amended to include “Charter
Schools.” The addition of “Charter Schools is in congruence with Section 12.103 of the
Texas Education Code. Further, the proposed amendment also permits all activities defined
as School, public denominational uses as allowed “by right.” R evision to remove the SUP
requirement is consistent with documented court opinion that in part, narrow a
municipalities influence school locat ion to whether there are public health safety concerns.
All other land development (site plan or building plan) review processes are not affected.
Smoking Lounge and Smoking Room uses are currently not defined in the zoning ordinance.
Many establishments permit smoking in accordance with the Smoking Ordinance found in
Chapter 6, Article VIII of the Code of Ordinances. Staff observed an increased interest in
establishments offering smoking as the primary function of the operation . With no dedicated
land use definition, there is no allowance for such establishments and smoking, if permitted
must be as part of a separate primary activity. This approach led to confusion for operators
and staff
When as a component of the primary activity, the operator must at all times ensure the
smoking element does not exceed that of the primary activity.
These definitions offer clarity for these establishments, and provide the City with additional
language to regulate. Establishments must include a filtration requirement and operate in
accordance with the regulations of Chapter 6, Article VIII.
Section 13-101 prohibits parking located in the front yard setback (the front yard setback is
the area free and clear from the front property line to the front façade of the primary
building). Over the years this regulati on has been largely disregarded, but when applied it
typically forces conflicts in site design. Specifically, between the minimum area required
for landscape and the minimum depth required to establish parking . A common example is
a site required to provide a 25’ front yard setback may only require a 15’ landscape buffer.
Consequently the parking may not begin at the end of the landscape, another 10’ of
landscape (or other) is required before the parking can begin. This additional area is an
undue hardship and unintended waste of land.
65
4
Specific examples occur often in t he Gateway District which discourages unnecessary
parking depths between the front façade and the property line . The proposed amendment is
congruent with the intent of the Gateway Overlay District.
ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMITTEE (ORC) REVIEW
The Ordinance Review Committee (ORC) recommends approval of the Zoning Ordinance
amendment.
PRIOR ACTION
On February 14, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted (6-0) to recommend approval
of the proposed amendments to Appendix A, Section 10 of the Code of Ordinances and Section 13.
NOTIFICATION
The Zoning Ordinance requires newspaper notification a minimum of ten (10) days prior to the
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting for text amendments. Notice for this Public Hearing
was published in The Dallas Morning News on February 3, 2023. No comments, either for or
against the text amendment, were received as of the printing of this packet.
