Frisco's City Council and the Frisco ISD Board of Trustees will sit down together on Tuesday, Oct. 27, for a special called joint meeting at the Frisco Public Library.

The agenda is short. The district is set to give a state of the school district report, the city a state of the city report, and the two boards are to discuss what the agenda calls shared goals and initiatives. The session begins at 6 p.m. in the library's Community Event Room, 8000 Dallas Parkway. The posted agenda does not list any votes.

Appeals rules could change

Half an hour later, the Planning & Zoning Commission convenes at the George A. Purefoy Municipal Center, 6101 Frisco Square Blvd. Among the routine plats on its consent agenda is a request to call a public hearing on Subsection 6.19 of the Zoning Ordinance, the section that governs appeals.

According to the staff report, that section spells out how appeals work for various kinds of applications, including who has the authority to file one. Planning staff and the City Attorney's Office are studying possible changes, the report says, and staff recommends that commissioners set a hearing. The report does not describe what the amendments would say or when the hearing would be held.

A session on the commissioner's role

After the regular meeting, commissioners are scheduled to gather at 7 p.m., or as soon as the regular agenda wraps up, in Conference Room 300C on the third floor of the municipal center. The only item on that special agenda is a review and discussion of the fundamentals of serving as a planning and zoning commissioner.

The regular commission agenda also includes a memo reporting that at its Oct. 20 meeting the City Council voted 6-0 to rescind a specific use permit for a drop-in child care center on Lebanon Road, following the commission's 5-0 recommendation. The memo says the council did not ask about or appeal any items from the commission's Oct. 12 meeting.
