Gonzales council approves zoning amendments to clarify permitted uses and caretaker units
Summary
Council waived second reading and adopted Ordinance 2025-155 to amend Chapter 12.56 (zoning districts and permitted uses), including potential allowances for RVs, side-by-sides and caretaker units in select zones; council approved the ordinance unanimously after limited discussion and no substantive public opposition.
The Gonzales City Council voted to waive a second reading and adopt Ordinance 2025-155, which amends chapter 12.56 of the Gonzales City Code to clarify zoning districts and permitted uses.
Planning staff described proposed changes that would, as applicable, allow regulated storage of RVs and similar vehicles in specified zones, streamline review processes for certain caretaker or accessory units subject to planning staff approval, and clarify enforcement and permitted-use standards. A Zoom participant noted an audio-technical issue earlier in the meeting but offered no substantive opposition to the zoning text.
Councilmembers discussed enforcement and implementation details and confirmed staff will apply existing cuts and enforcement tools where appropriate. A motion to adopt Ordinance 2025-155 was moved and seconded and passed unanimously.
Staff will finalize code edits and publish the ordinance according to municipal rules; no implementation funding or fees were recorded in the transcript.
