The Building and Standards Commission will discuss basement and subterranean structure regulations during its monthly meeting on Thursday at 6 p.m.
In November of 2008, city council asked the Zoning and Planning Commission and the Building and Standards Commission for a recommendation on whether to permit basements with strict regulations or to prohibit them entirely.
The ZPC made a recommendation to city council during a special session this past July to not allow basements and subterranean structures to be built in West U. Council did not take any action on the recommendation during the July meeting.
The BSC and the ZPC have been working together to bring a formal recommendation to council.
The commission will also hold two public hearings during its Thursday meeting regarding variance requests for properties located at 2723 Centenary and 2716 Robinhood.
The BSC is responsible for specific construction rules and regulations created by Chapter 18 of the Code of Ordinances appeals, variances and interpretation. It is also responsible for administrative appeals, condemnation and mandatory repair or demolition of dangerous structures.
