Commercial rezoning proposed behind North Austin Street property in Seguin

A proposed commercial rezoning would change the options for a vacant rear parcel beside a Seguin home. Residents can examine the plans before a Nov. 10 hearing.

Seguin's Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to hear a proposal Nov. 10 to rezone the rear portion of 1571 N. Austin Street from R-1 to Commercial.

The request concerns a small parcel behind the Austin Street property, where the city's staff report describes a possible parking expansion. The change remains a proposal.

The staff report identifies a single-family residence immediately east of the parcel and says a parking expansion could bring more vehicle traffic. That puts the proposed commercial use next to existing residential property. The report describes possible effects; it does not establish that a parking lot has been approved or built.

What the parcel plans show

The staff report describes the 0.269-acre rear parcel as vacant and zoned R-1. It identifies the property as part of 1571 N. Austin Street, Property ID 26531. The proposed change applies to the rear portion, rather than the entire address. The report describes the parking expansion as serving a commercially zoned religious building to the west.

Staff identifies North Austin Street and an undeveloped rear street or alley as access points. The report says no widening or additional access is planned. Those details matter to nearby residents because the request places a potential parking use beside a home, while the plans described in the report do not include a new street entrance.

A related parking request

The commission's Nov. 10 agenda lists a public hearing and possible action on ZC 17-26. It also lists a related special-use request, SUP 06-26, for a stand-alone parking lot. The two requests are scheduled for consideration; an agenda listing does not establish either request's outcome.

The posted agenda schedules the Planning and Zoning Commission for Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. in Council Chambers, 210 E. Gonzales St. It asks people seeking an ADA accommodation to call 830-401-2468 at least 48 hours in advance. Readers can use the staff report and maps to inspect the parcel before the hearing; the commission's subsequent meeting record will establish what action it took.
