The Development Review Committee (DRC) has introduced a "Project Spotlight" to feature ongoing projects under review. The first spotlight focused on the TCU Master Plan, with TCU representatives and consultants presenting their long-term planning for the university. The committee reviewed the plan, discussed platting, street, and alley vacation requests, and gathered feedback. In 2025, DRC will continue featuring Project Spotlights for current projects. In December, the Historic Preservation Office under Preservation and Design kicked off the next phase of the Historic Resources Survey Project to survey 10 of our historic districts. This project will be completed by September 2026. The City has received notice that we will likely receive a grant from the Texas Historical Commission to update the Preservation Plan which is over 20 years old. The City has executed a contract with a consultant to begin work on community engagement and creating guidelines for six proposed Conservation Districts. Stormwater Development Services increased the number of drainage study reviews completed by internal staff by 70% in 2024 when compared to 2023. Please contact D.J.
