Boerne council ratifies C‑3 zoning for 5.155‑acre IH‑10 surplus tract
Summary
On first reading the City of Boerne approved Ordinance No. 2026‑01 to ratify C‑3 (Community Commercial) zoning for a 5.155‑acre IH‑10 surplus parcel; the vote was 5–0 after no public speakers at the hearing. Staff said the zoning corrects a 2021 omission and aligns the property with surrounding commercial districts.
Boerne City Council voted 5–0 on first reading to ratify C‑3 (Community Commercial) zoning for an approximately 5.155‑acre IH‑10 surplus north tract adjoining a travel‑center development the record refers to as “Bucky’s.” The motion to approve Ordinance No. 2026‑01 was made by Dr. Mac and seconded by Brett.
City planning staffer Nathan framed the item as “a request to ratify a decision … to assign a zoning to a piece of property” tied to the Buck East development and said the parcel had remained under the retired B‑2 district following the citywide rezoning in 2021. Nathan said the city’s analysis found the retired B‑2 district was most consistent with the current C‑3 (or C‑4) commercial districts and recommended C‑3 at this location to maintain compatible land‑use relationships and development standards.
A public hearing on the item was opened and closed with no members of the public speaking. Nathan told the council that the Planning & Zoning Commission had considered the matter and voted 6–0 on Dec. 1 to recommend ratification of the legal zoning determination to C‑3. Mayor Pro Tem Ty Wallison and other council members described the issue as an inadvertent omission from the 2021 rezoning process and supported staff’s recommendation.
The ordinance as read on the motion includes statutory language to amend the official zoning map of the City of Boerne Unified Development Code (Chapter 3, Section 3.2), repeals conflicting ordinances and declares an effective date. Council also noted that the project’s Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was approved by the city and previously by TxDOT, and that certain approvals remain under TxDOT jurisdiction.
The council indicated a related development agreement (DA) remains forthcoming and is expected at a subsequent meeting. The ordinance passed on first reading by a 5–0 vote and will proceed through the next steps required by the city code.
