Title
Hold a Public Hearing on an Ordinance amending Chapter 125, Article VI of the Unified Development Code entitled “Provision of Parkland”, establishing a Westside Park Overlay District (POD) (Executive Director of Development Services)
Background:
In May 2025, City Council adopted the Westside Master Plan, a comprehensive vision for approximately 3,500 undeveloped acres in western League City. Residents identified parks, trails, and open space as their highest priorities through more than 1,400 public comments, surveys, and community meetings.
The proposed amendment to Chapter 125, Article VI directly implements those priorities by creating a Westside Park Overlay District (POD) to ensure new residential development contributes land, trails, and amenities at a level consistent with the City’s adopted standard of 15 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents.
The amendment has been reviewed by the Strategic Plan Advisory Committee (SPAC) and received unanimous recommendations of support from both the Parks Board (October 6, 2025) and the Planning and Zoning Commission (October 20, 2025).
This public hearing provides an opportunity for citizens and stakeholders to comment prior to Council action on the proposed ordinance.
