The Boerne Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on September 8, 2025, focused on zoning discussions related to a proposed development near Buc-ee's. The city is the applicant for the zoning changes, not Buc-ee's itself, which sparked a conversation about the potential uses for the property.
Commissioner Byrd emphasized that the meeting was not the appropriate venue for grievances about Buc-ee's but rather a platform to discuss zoning matters. He noted that the property could be developed into various types of businesses, including a hotel or even a used car lot, due to its B2 and C3 zoning classifications.
Commissioners Friars and Hillier expressed a desire to revisit the zoning proposal, indicating a need for further examination of the development plans. Byrd acknowledged the importance of community involvement, thanking attendees for their participation and highlighting the transparency of the process.
The meeting underscored the significance of zoning decisions in shaping local development and the community's role in voicing opinions on such matters. The commission's next steps will likely involve further discussions and evaluations of the proposed zoning changes.
