Commission approves conditional-use permit for professional office at 164 Medina Street
Summary
The commission granted a conditional-use permit allowing a professional office building (two office spaces) at 164 Medina Street, subject to conditions including non-transferability; staff said the property is 8,112 sq ft, currently vacant, and is served by city utilities.
The Eagle Pass Planning and Zoning Commission voted to grant a conditional-use permit to Alma A. Flores to allow a professional office at 164 Medina Street.
Planning staff (identified in the record as Megan) told the commission the parcel measures 8,112 square feet, is vacant, and is currently zoned R3A. Staff explained the applicant chose a conditional-use permit instead of seeking a rezoning so the property can host office uses without changing the zoning map. "Our staff recommendation is that the planning and zoning commission grant the Alma A. Flores request to establish a professional office use," Megan said, adding that the conditional-use permit would be non-transferable.
Commissioners asked about traffic and visitor projections; staff said specific impacts will be addressed at the building/permit stage and must comply with building, fire, electrical and parking codes. Staff said the proposal anticipates a commercial building configured as two office spaces.
After closing the public hearing at 05:43 PM, Commissioner Reyes moved to proceed as recommended by staff; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Selena Sanchez and passed.
