Hello Friends!
I hope everyone is doing well and excited about the start of school! We have a few items on this week's city calendar, but here is the link in case any are added after this newsletter goes out. https://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php

12:00 PM - City Council Work Session
Council Conference Room, City Hall
401 S. Rogers St.
The only item on this work session agenda is a discussion regarding the Comprehensive Plan update. Residents are welcome to sit in and listen; however, there are no public comments entertained during this time. Also, this work session will not be live-streamed.

*** 6:00 PM - Comprehensive Plan Community Meeting ***
Council Chamber, City Hall
401 S. Rogers St.
There is no agenda for this meeting, but instead a notice of potential quorum for the City Council, Planning & Zoning Commission, or Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee.
****** This is your chance to provide input on the comprehensive plan. This plan guides staff and Council on your priorities for the city. This is a chance to make a tangible difference in your community and I highly encourage all who can make it to this meeting, to do so. ******
I'm unaware if this meeting will be live-streamed or not. In case it is live-streamed (although I doubt it will), you can access it via this link: https://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php

6:15 PM - Planning & Zoning Commission Briefing
Council Conference Room, City Hall
401 S. Rogers St.
This briefing is being held to discuss items for the 7:00 PM regular P&Z meeting. Residents are welcome to attend this briefing session. The briefing is not live-streamed at this time.
-------------------------------------------------------------
7:00 PM - Planning & Zoning Commission Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall
401 S. Rogers St.
This is a pretty standard meeting, but I just want to quickly mention 9&10 and 11&12. These two cases are regarding clothing donation boxes at two locations (on private property, it appears) and staff is saying that the owner must have an SUP (specific use permit) for these even though they are on private property and are recommending denial of the SUPs. While I understand that these can be an eyesore when the clothes are left outside the donation boxes, I think that they provide a useful service to the residents and are able to help others by recycling the clothing. Not only that, it appears, in my opinion, to be overreach if these are indeed located on private property. What are your thoughts on the situation?
To view the details of these cases and any others on the agenda, please click the agenda packet link above. This meeting is open to residents to attend, but is also live-streamed at the following link: https://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php
