Horseshoe Bay council approves rezoning, budget amendments and appointments
Summary
At its Jan. 20 meeting the Horseshoe Bay City Council approved a rezoning for a Paint Brush property, adopted two budget amendments covering FY2025 and FY2026, filled advisory and county board positions and approved the consent agenda; several development hearings were continued for further staff review.
Horseshoe Bay City Council approved a package of routine and land-use actions at its Jan. 20 meeting, including a rezoning of a Paint Brush property, two budget amendments and several appointments while continuing a separate development variance to allow staff more time for review.
The council voted to approve an ordinance to rezone a roughly 1.363-acre parcel at 700 Paint Brush from A1 (recreational) to R1 (single-family residential). Development Services Director John Byron told the council staff had satisfied public-noticing requirements and the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval; the motion to adopt the ordinance was made by Mr. Morgan and seconded by Mr. Weatherbe and the measure passed.
Council also approved ordinance 2026-08, an amendment to FY2025 budgeted funds that includes entries for donated land, land improvements and insurance proceeds, and ordinance 2026-09, an amendment affecting FY2026 that touches the utility, general and debt service funds (including a water-rate study and insurance reclassifications). Finance staff member Molly presented both amendments; motions to adopt carried on council votes.
On appointments, the council approved staff-recommended members to serve on the capital improvements/impact-fee advisory committee after staff explained new state-law criteria for membership. Separately, the council nominated and approved Aaron Waldrip as the city’s representative to the county appraisal district board for a two-year term; the nomination was moved by Mr. Morgan and seconded by Miss Wadell.
The consent agenda, chiefly minutes from recent meetings, was approved by motion of Mr. Morgan with a second from Mr. Weatherbe.
The council’s actions were presented in the business portion of the meeting after a lengthy public-comment and hearing period; no additional votes were taken on the variance requests tied to the Horseshoe Bay West project, which the council continued to a Feb. 17 meeting so staff could obtain complete engineering materials and the public could review them.
What’s next: The council will reconvene in the new City Center in February; the continued hearings on the Horseshoe Bay West variances are scheduled for Feb. 17, and staff said project materials and engineering reviews will be available before that date.
