The meeting included the election of officers, resulting in Darius Gil being named Chair and Edward Davila as Vice Chair. A public hearing and subsequent action were taken regarding a request for a Variance to the City of Seguin's Unified Development Code (UDC) Section 3.6.2 for a property located at 212 E. Walnut St. (PID 13541). The variance requested adjustments to lot frontage and area dimensions to allow for Duplex High Density zoning (DP-2). The Board approved the variance request with specified conditions related to driveway width and off-street parking orientation to mitigate safety concerns impacting the narrow right-of-way. A separate staff report analyzed a request for a variance concerning front setback requirements (7 feet encroached) for an unpermitted carport addition at 1203 Fred St., for which staff recommended denial due to a lack of demonstrated hardship.

This document is a draft Master Thoroughfare Plan for the City of Seguin, outlining existing and future roadway classifications including arterial, collector, downtown approach, freeway, frontage road, major arterial, major collector, and parkway within the city limits and its extraterritorial jurisdiction. The plan also illustrates regional connectivity with neighboring municipalities. It is noted as a draft for planning purposes only, with no corridors currently scheduled for construction or funded, and is still under development by the City of Seguin.

The agenda for this meeting of the City of Seguin Planning & Zoning Commission includes organizational action items for the election of the Chair and Vice-Chair. The primary focus involves three public hearings and possible actions on zoning change requests: ZC 01-26, seeking to change property from Single-Family Residential (R-1) to Neighborhood Commercial (NC); ZC 02-26, requesting a change from Agriculture-Ranch (A-R) to Commercial (C) for a proposed gas station site; and ZC 03-26, proposing a change from Single-Family Residential (R-2) and Commercial (C) to Multi-Family High Density (MF-3), which staff analysis notes is inconsistent with the Future Land Use Plan due to density concerns. Additionally, the agenda includes a presentation summarizing the Planning and Zoning Commission Cases from the calendar year 2025.

The agenda includes a public hearing and action items related to a variance request for sign requirements, and several zoning change requests. These include changes to Single Family Residential (R-1), Single-Family Residential (R-2), Public (P), Light Industrial (LI), and Neighborhood Commercial (NC) designations for various properties. The commission will also discuss and potentially approve the minutes from the October 14, 2025, regular meeting.

The agenda includes a public hearing and possible action regarding a variance request to the City of Seguin's Unified Development Code (UDC) Section 5.7.5, which pertains to fencing location and height regulations for a property located at 150 Sun Lily Rd.
