Eagle Pass commission approves conditional use permit for insurance office at 688 North K Street
Summary
The commission approved a conditional use permit allowing an insurance agent to operate from 688 North K Street. Staff said the permit permits the home-based business at that location without changing the property’s residential zoning; the hearing included clarifications on parking and signage.
March 12, 2026 — The Eagle Pass commission approved a conditional use permit on Friday allowing an insurance agent to operate from 688 North K Street, the applicant told the commission during a public hearing.
Staff introduced the application and said the use had previously been approved at another nearby location and that the applicant was relocating her licensed insurance business. Staff recommended approval and noted accessible parking and on-street parking options at the proposed site.
A commissioner asked whether the district is residential and whether a conditional use permit would permanently change the zoning. Mr. Negrete, the staff presenter, replied that the CUP authorizes the use at that specific location but does not rezone the property; if the business closes or moves, the parcel remains zoned residential and the CUP does not transfer to a future owner.
The applicant told the commission she operates from home as an insurance agent and assists clients with Medicare Advantage and related plans. "I work from home and of course it was approved ... I open from 9 to 4," she said, adding that appointments and privacy needs motivated the move. She also stated she is the property owner and described a small, appointment-based operation.
Staff and commissioners confirmed that sign and advertisement regulations were addressed previously. The public hearing closed at 5:42 p.m.; a motion to approve the CUP with the condition that the use be limited to insurance-related services was made and seconded. The transcript records that the commission moved on after the vote; it does not record a roll-call tally for this item.
What happens next: staff will complete any required plan-review items and verify that the site’s parking and access meet city requirements before issuing any permit or certificate of occupancy.
