The City of Webster Development Guidelines has been formulated to establish the requirements and procedures for the submittal, review, and action by City staff, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council for the development of land in the City of Webster.

The City of Webster encourages pre-development meetings prior to the submittal of any development application.

II. SCOPE

All parties involved in the submittal of rezoning requests, special use permits, plats and building plans shall follow these procedures.

III. INITIAL DEVELOPMENT DISCUSSION

A. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

1. Economic Development Assistance

The City of Webster Economic Development Department, whose mission is to grow and diversify the tax base, will work with prospective business owners, developers, agents, and commercial entities in discussing the type of business proposed, desired locations, availability of utilities, and building and land requirements.

2. Proposal

The City of Webster Economic Development Department will prepare a unique proposal for a prospective client. The proposals generally include information about:

a. Demographics;

b. Traffic counts;

c. Zoning classification;

d. Buildings, centers, or raw land (i.e. price, contact information, highlights);

e. Aerial photographs of the City and specific sites;

f. Distance to attractions or special points of interest;

g. Area projections;

h. Ad valorem taxes;

i. Significant new and expanded businesses within a three-year period;

j. Market study results; and

k. Any other data, development or project that augments or reinforces the proposal.

3. Predevelopment Communication

The Economic Development Department encourages any prospective or expanding business to work closely with the City Planner and Building Official for site-specific information, such as zoning regulations, parking requirements, landscaping, signage, availability of utilities, detention, etc.

B. CITY PLANNER

1. Zoning Verification

It is advised that any applicant contact the City Planner prior to beginning the development process to ensure the type of development proposed is in compliance with the City of Webster Zoning Ordinance.

If the use proposed is not in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance, an application for a rezoning request may be appropriate and can be filed. In instances where the use is allowed by a special use permit, that application should be filed.

2. Plat Verification

Prior to the subdivision of any piece of property and sale of portions of that property, a plat should be submitted to the City for review and approval, and then filed with the Harris County Clerk’s office. Each parcel to be developed should have a legal lot description, i.e. Lot 1, Block 1, Webster City Subdivision.

The applicant should verify that the property intended for development has been platted in the appropriate configuration to allow for the proposed type of development. If the plat configuration is not correct, or the property has not been platted at all, an application for a plat or replat should be filed. NO BUILDING PERMITS MAY BE ISSUED UNTIL A COPY OF THE APPROPRIATE RECORDED PLAT IS ON FILE WITH THE CITY.
