Agreed! I read that paragraph like this:
  1. The City is required by Texas law to notify you of the following:
THE CITY OF STARBASE IS HOLDING A HEARING THAT WILL DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU MAY LOSE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE USING YOUR 
PROPERTY FOR ITS CURRENT USE, PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY.
  1. The foregoing notice is required by Texas Local Government Code section 211.006 (a-1):
(a-1) In addition to any notice required by this section or Section 211.007, the governing body of a municipality or a zoning commission, as applicable, shall provide written notice of each public hearing regarding any proposed adoption of or change to a zoning regulation or boundary under which a current conforming use of a property is a nonconforming use if the regulation or boundary is adopted or changed. The notice must: (1) be mailed by United States mail to each owner of real or business personal property where the proposed nonconforming use is located as indicated by the most recently approved municipal tax roll and each occupant of the property not later than the 10th day before the hearing date; (2) contain the time and place of the hearing; and (3) include the following text in bold 14-point type or larger: "THE [MUNICIPALITY NAME] IS HOLDING A HEARING THAT WILL DETERMINE WHETHER YOU MAY LOSE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE USING YOUR PROPERTY FOR ITS CURRENT USE. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY."
  1. The proposed zoning ordinance is based on current and existing uses.
That's the important part.

Exactly Starbase let everyone know that was in areas that would be affected. They did everything right and MSM is flipping out about this basic ass stuff.

They did everything right
I think so too. Since there wasn't any zoning plan, the qualifier "change to a zoning regulation or boundary under which a current conforming use of a property is a nonconforming use if the regulation or boundary is adopted or changed" is fuzzy... so I would also have added the all caps crap in their position - to be safe.
The only change I'd make is print all the other text in 18pt lol
MSM is flipping out about this basic ass stuff
Did they even look up the link I looked up? probably not, lol.

LOL NO THEY DID NOT AT ALL!!!
Yeah you are right on finer points like the other text in 18pt but this also wasnt suppose to be something that was done purely off of a single piece of paper ya know. These people at least should have gone to the meeting and listened to what was going on and then made their voices heard if it was outta line.
Everything seems to have been esp in a city space done as good if not better than whatever any other city has ever done.
