City of Eagle Pass planning staff recommended and the City Council voted to grant a conditional-use permit to allow multifamily development on a 3.19-acre parcel at 2520 North Veterans Boulevard.

The permit request, submitted by applicant Sarah Andre on behalf of property owner BBB-EP LLC, sought an exception because the property is zoned B-1 Neighborhood Business District, a district that does not permit multifamily uses without a conditional-use permit. City staff presented the request at the special meeting on May 22, 2025, and said the parcel has utilities in the vicinity and a concept for a full-scale apartment complex was shown to the commission.

Planning staff noted the site is near the Arrow Point subdivision and that there are other multifamily developments on North Veterans Boulevard. “On North Veterans Boulevard, I believe multifamily is appropriate,” staff said in the presentation. The staff report stated 39 notices were mailed to abutting property owners; the record included one letter in favor and one in opposition. The department recommended granting the conditional-use permit subject to compliance with all city ordinances.

No members of the public spoke on the item. After the public hearing the commission moved with the recommendation of the Community Development Department and then proceeded to the next item, indicating the motion carried.

The commission did not attach additional conditions beyond the standard requirement that the development comply with city ordinances. The council did not provide a roll-call vote in the public transcript; the meeting record shows the motion was made and the council proceeded to the next agenda item.
