Votes at a glance: council approves zoning cleanup, subdivision updates and authorizes legal response
Summary
Bulverde City Council approved a pair of ordinance cleanups for zoning and subdivision rules, accepted a motion authorizing the city attorney to respond in pending litigation, and passed other agenda items; vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
Bulverde City Council moved through multiple agenda items and adopted at least three formal actions: a housekeeping amendment to the PD (plan development) district intent, corrections to the subdivision ordinance including updated road‑standard references, and authorization for the city attorney to file a response in pending litigation.
Zoning amendment (3A): Council considered language that removes outdated references to a former future land use plan and makes the PD intent language generic so proposed plan development districts are evaluated by conditions and consistency with the comprehensive plan. Councilman Alexander proposed a final‑sentence revision requiring proposed PDs to be “chosen based on conditions in the surrounding area, be in accordance with the city’s comprehensive plan, and meet all requirements of this [code],” and council moved to approve the ordinance with that change. The transcript records a motion and the item advancing; specific vote tallies were not provided.
Subdivision ordinance (3B): Staff described a long‑overdue set of corrections to subdivision regulations, including fixing clerical errors introduced during an earlier emergency patch and updating a 30‑year‑old highway manual reference to current ASHTO road standards. Council thanked staff for the work and passed the ordinance.
Legal authorization: The council announced it would go into executive session to receive attorney advice on litigation (transcript references case number C2026-04018 involving "5675 Highway Development LLC v. City of Alberti"). After the closed session, council authorized the city attorney to file a response in that matter; the transcript records the motion but does not include a roll‑call tally.
All actions referenced above appear in the meeting record as motions that passed; the transcript does not provide individual roll‑call vote tallies for those items.
