Melissa City Council members will talk about the rules for driving golf carts on public streets when they meet Tuesday, Nov. 17, according to an agenda the city secretary posted Tuesday morning.

The item is listed as a discussion of Article 10.1100 of the Code of Ordinances, which covers golf cart operation on city streets. No draft changes or staff memo were posted with the agenda, and a discussion item allows no vote.

Downtown lots

The council will also hold public hearings on two rezonings inside the Downtown Overlay District's commercial mixed-use area. Both would move property from Single-Family Residential District-3 zoning to a planned development based on the General Commercial (C-2) district:

  • 0.327 acre at 2802 McKinney Street
  • 0.151 acre at 3311 Fannin Road

Separately, the council's closed session lists economic development negotiations involving 2803 McKinney Street, along with a personnel discussion regarding the city manager. Any action would have to be taken in open session afterward.

Other business

The regular agenda also includes:

  • A resolution adopting the city's priorities for the 90th Texas Legislature, which convenes in January
  • A request to amend the sign coordination plan for the QuikTrip store
  • Hearings on creating The Preserve and Long Ranch public improvement districts

On consent, the council is set to consider a final engineering site plan for Melissa Industrial Lot 1, about 27.1 acres roughly 351 feet east of Industrial Park Way and State Highway 121, and a preliminary service and assessment plan for Phase 1 of the Vineyard Hills Estates Public Improvement District. The meeting opens with the graduation of Leadership Melissa's second cohort.

The regular meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 3411 Barker Avenue.

Parks board Thursday

Two days later, on Thursday, Nov. 19, the Melissa Community and Economic Development Corporation (4B board) is scheduled to discuss Phase 6 of the Z-Plex, consider recommending a Trails and Connectivity Strategic Plan to the council and discuss new park projects. That meeting starts at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
