Planning and Zoning
Citizen Survey, and Context and Form Study Results
The El Lago City Council and the Planning and
Zoning Commission (P&Z) conducted several public meetings in
response to a formal request of zoning changes for a particular waterfront
property for proposed land development. During these public hearings,
comments from City of El Lago Mayor, City Council Members and various
City officials were presented, in addition to public testimony. P&Z
submitted to City Council a final report on amendments of the zoning
ordinance, a description and draft of a new zone for consideration
for possible high-rise development with no recommendation to implement
and recommended a Long-Range Comprehensive Zoning Plan for the City
of El Lago.
An Advisory Committee composed of one City Council
Member and six citizens appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by City
Council was formed. The Advisory Committee recommended contracting
the services of Strategic Forecasting and Development for a citizen
survey and with Lane Kendig, Inc. to perform a Context and Form study.
Correction: On page 6 of the 25-page "Context
and Form Final Report", there is an error: The parks within El
Lago should be Witty, McNair and Armstrong. Whitecap is not a public
park, but a homeowners' area serving El Lago Estates.
