.Development Process
Generally the development process follows the brief descriptions listed below. The development process can be viewed in Flow Chart form.
Zoning Change:
The type of zoning that is on a piece of property determines what land uses can legally be placed on the property. For example: If a property is zoned Single Family, a retail business may not be placed on that property without rezoning it to the category that allows that use, such as General Retail or Commercial. Rezoning a property typically involves the following:
|
- Pre-application conference (recommended but optional).
- Review by staff Development Assistance Committee (DAC).
- DAC review comments to applicant within 10 working days.
Fees, original tax certification, boundary survey (if required) and completed application submitted by applicant.
- Notification posted in the newspaper at least 15 days prior to the Public Hearing date. Property owners within 200 feet of the subject property are notified by mail and a sign is placed on the property.
- Public Hearing (Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) - Recommendation by P&Z to City Council.
- Pubic Hearing at City Council meeting - first reading.
- City Council meeting - final reading/Mayor signs ordinance.
- Copy of signed ordinance amending zoning sent to applicant.

Burleson currently has 20 different districts that include agricultural, residential, commercial and industrial zoning. City Council makes the final decision regarding the rezoning request. Staff comments, neighbors’ comments, current and future land use plan, and the recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission are taken into account when reaching a decision on whether or not to grant the applicant’s request.
The zoning process usually takes about 8 to 10 weeks. A "Development Meeting Calendar" is available upon request from this department. Failure to meet the deadlines or incomplete submittals can significantly increase the amount of time required to complete the zoning change process
