New Braunfels council approves consent agenda including three rezonings and a bylaws amendment

The New Braunfels City Council approved its consent agenda, including a resolution to amend city bylaws and three separate rezoning items, at its April 10, 2025 meeting.

The consent agenda contained a resolution amending the bylaws for a New Braunfels heritage/arts entity (description in the record: "resolution amending the bylaws for the New Braunfels heritage" — details not specified in the packet), a request to rezone 0.21 acres in Highland Park (Block 1, Lot 17) from C3 Commercial to C3 with a special use permit to allow a short-term rental at 1668 West San Antonio Street, a second and final reading to rezone approximately five acres in the Frank Reale Subdivision (Block 1, Lot 1) from R-2 (single- and two-family) to R-3 LSUP (multifamily, low density) with a Type 1 special use permit for multiple dwelling units at 850 Euling Lane, and a second and final reading to rezone about 25 acres out of the Oakwood Baptist Church subdivision (Block 1) from unspecified pre-development/business categories to C-1 General Business at 2154 Loop 330. The agenda language provided for some items only in summary form; where the transcript or agenda did not include full ordinance text or file numbers, those details are not specified in the public record excerpt.

The council approved the consent items by voice/roll call; Council Member Willis, Council Member Edwards, Council Member Spradley, Council Member Lebowski, Council Member Ryan and Mayor Menards recorded votes of “Aye.” The motion carried.

Because the items were part of a consent agenda, no separate discussion or individual roll-call tallies beyond the collective approval were recorded in the portion of the transcript provided.
