Cibolo City Council approves 22 charter amendments for November ballot, sets election date and modifies height rules along I‑10

Mayor Mark Allen said the Cibolo City Council on Aug. 12 approved placing 22 charter amendments on the Nov. 4, 2025 ballot, set that date as the city’s election day for mayor and council places 2, 3 and 7, and approved a change to the city’s Unified Development Code that allows building heights up to 140 feet along Interstate 10 within Cibolo.

The actions came during a meeting recap delivered by Mayor Mark Allen. "We, as a city council, approved for 22 charter amendments to go on the ballot for this coming November 2025 election," Allen said, noting citizens will vote "yes or no" on those measures.

Why it matters: sending charter amendments to the ballot and changing zoning or height standards are formal steps that let voters decide governance changes and that alter development rules along a major corridor. The council also confirmed the Nov. 4 election date, which will include the race for mayor and contested council seats for places 2, 3 and 7.

In land-use business, Allen said the council approved modifications to Unified Development Code Article 14 to permit taller buildings adjacent to Interstate 10 in Cibolo. "That'll allow up to a 140 foot buildings along I 10 in Cibolo," Allen said.

Allen also reported the council approved several community-event authorizations: allowing the Granville Sea Cogs Lodge to use the new Cibolo Community Event Center for a children’s toy distribution and authorizing public resources to support the fifth annual Cibolo Crossing Stampede (a 5K run) and an associated barbecue cook-off scheduled for Oct. 11 on private property near Santikos.

Formal vote counts, motions and seconder names were not specified in the mayor’s recap. The transcript statements indicate the measures were approved but do not provide recorded tallies or which council members moved or seconded the motions.

The council’s approvals set up a November ballot with 22 charter questions and change the city’s development regulations along a major highway corridor; additional event permits and authorizations were approved for community activities later in the year.
