Council adopts home‑occupation rules to comply with state law
Summary
The Jourdanton City Council unanimously approved an amendment to Chapter 14A to revise home‑occupation and no‑impact home‑based business regulations to comply with House Bill 2464 and Texas Local Government Code §229.902.
The Jourdanton City Council on July 6 adopted an ordinance amending Chapter 14A of the city code to revise rules for home occupations and establish regulations for no‑impact home‑based businesses to comply with House Bill 2464 and Texas Local Government Code §229.902. Councilmember Katrina Wiatrek moved the ordinance and Councilmember Raul Morales seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
The ordinance revises existing zoning language to align with state law changes that limit local restrictions on certain home-based activities. Council members did not record additional substantive amendments during the meeting; the minutes state the motion and unanimous passage. The council opened a short public hearing on the ordinance, which began at 6:52 p.m. and concluded at 6:54 p.m., before taking the vote.
City leaders said the move is intended to ensure the city’s land‑use code conforms to state statutory requirements rather than to change other zoning standards. The minutes do not include direct public-comment quotations or a detailed summary of objections or support from speakers on this item.
The ordinance will be codified in Chapter 14A (Zoning Ordinance) of the Jourdanton Code of Ordinances; the minutes list the cited state authority as House Bill 2464 and Texas Local Government Code §229.902. Council members indicated no further administrative steps were recorded in the minutes beyond the adoption vote and recording of the ordinance.
