Seguin City Council approved on first reading a zoning change for the vacant lot at 634 South Goodrich Street, from single-family residential to public zoning, for a proposed church parking lot.
The Nov. 3 decision was a voice vote on item 8C, with Councilmember Gaitan making the motion and Councilmember Napier seconding it.

The Parking lot will also require a Specific Use Permit on a vacant lot zoned Public as well, if the zoning change is approved.City of Seguin Planning and Codes Department ↗
The proposed parking lot could increase traffic near West Shelby and South Goodrich streets, according to the city's planning staff. The staff report identifies that intersection as a traffic concern and says the church occupies the lot immediately west of the vacant property.
The lot is currently zoned for single-family residential use. Planning staff said a parking lot there would require public zoning and, separately, a specific use permit. First-reading approval therefore does not itself authorize construction or establish that the zoning change is final.
The planning report describes the parcel as vacant and lists a single-family home to its south and multifamily use to its east. It says the church sought the change to expand its parking. Readers can use the city's Agenda Center to inspect the zoning materials under item ZC 14-26 and check for a later council action or specific use permit. Whether either approval has since been granted remains to be established from a subsequent official record.
