City of Katy approves rezoning request for drone charging station
Katy residents may soon see drones flying above them or even in their backyards.
At a Nov. 9 meeting, Katy City Council voted to modify the zoning of the West Ten Business Park planned development district to allow Zipline, an international drone delivery company, to construct a station for the takeoff, landing, docking and charging of delivery drones.
To take advantage of its delivery service, Kerry McCormack, government affairs manager at Zipline, said residents will download the company’s app and place an order with one of the company's business partners. A drone will then pick it up, fly it to the customer, lower a pod to them with the order inside and fly back to the tower to recharge.
