SECTION 121.4. Planning and Development for Other State Properties

(a) It is the policy of the Commission that before the Commission makes a decision on the planning, use or development of State Property situated outside the Capitol Complex that the public and interested parties have the opportunity to review and comment on the Commission's proposed plans for such planning, use or development of State Property. Any proposed plans for such planning, use or development of State Property shall be listed as a line item on the agenda for each regularly scheduled Commission meeting.

(b) As to planning, development or use of State Property in a municipality or the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality or an unincorporated area, the Commission and the Division shall include public comment as an integral part of the planning process at points in time to assure that such public comment is meaningful for the Commission's planning and development responsibilities. As a matter of its promulgated policies, the Commission may further direct the Division to detail the manner in which the Division shall achieve meaningful public comment.

(c) At least thirty (30) days prior to each regularly scheduled Commission meeting, the Commission shall serve notice of each Project or Proposal for the planning, use or development of State Property upon the public and interested parties, including a designated representative of the city, county, and any other affected jurisdiction where the State Property is located. Notice shall be given by posting on the Commission website and in the Texas Register. The posting shall generally describe the Project or Proposal; identify its location; summarize its nature, timing and scope; and include such other and additional information as required by law.

(d) In addition to the public notices required in this section, not later than the 30th day before the date the Commission is scheduled to meet and vote on a Project or Proposal, the Commission and the Division must:

(1) place the Project or Proposal on the Commission's meeting agenda to provide the public with notice of the meeting and an opportunity to comment; and

(2) present sufficient information to the Commission members to enable the members to adequately prepare for the meeting and to address the members' questions and concerns.
