The commission approved specific use permit SUP-0426 for a driving range in a commercially zoned district at 2711 State Highway 46 North, with staff's conditions.

The reviewed commission outcome records a voice vote with no opposition stated. Its approval attaches requirements for shielded lighting aimed toward the range, one tree and two shrubs per 100 feet of Highway 46 frontage, and tee boxes at the locations shown on the site plan. The official meeting recording supports the reported action; the agenda packet identifies the permit as SUP 04-26.

Before the vote, the site at 2711 State Highway 46 North was commercially zoned and the driving range required a specific use permit. For residents near State Highway 46 North, the approved driving-range permit carries lighting, landscaping and tee-box conditions. Those are conditions on the commission’s permit action; this record does not establish when the range will open. The site plan and staff materials in the posted agenda provide the place to inspect the proposed layout.

Two zoning changes

The commission approved zoning change ZC 13-26, rezoning 1.7 acres in the 300 block of Willman Road from agricultural ranch to rural residential. The reviewed outcome records two opposed votes. The developer said the land would serve as a drainage channel for the residential development to the north; that stated plan should not be read as a completed drainage project. The agenda spells the road name “Willmann,” while the reviewed outcome spells it “Willman.” The parcel description and item number identify the same proposal in these records.

The commission approved zoning change ZC 14-26, rezoning 634 South Goodrich Street from single-family residential to public. The church next door requested the change so it can add parking, which will still need a separate specific use permit. The reviewed outcome describes a voice vote with no opposition stated. The church's proposed parking at 634 South Goodrich Street still requires a separate specific use permit. Residents following that proposal should watch for the permit application and its next public agenda rather than treat the zoning action as permission to build the parking lot.

Citizen comments

The retained agenda and reviewed outcome summaries identify the three land-use actions, their stated purposes and the commission’s dispositions, but they do not supply a full account of general public comment or item-specific testimony. They do not establish which residents spoke, what concerns or requests they raised, or any particular council or staff response. The two opposed votes on the Willmann Road change are commission votes, not evidence of residents’ views. The official Oct. 13 minutes or a separate review of the full recording is needed before attributing comments or responses to anyone.

Meeting record and what comes next

The Seguin Planning & Zoning Commission met Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. in Council Chambers, 210 E. Gonzales Street. The commission approved the minutes of its September 8 meeting. That was a voice vote with no opposition stated in the reviewed outcome. The published Oct. 13 agenda also lists call to order, roll call and adjournment; those procedural entries do not add a separate land-use decision.

The next identifiable land-use step in these records is the separate specific use permit needed for the Goodrich Street parking proposal. For the driving range, the operative details to follow are the approved lighting, frontage planting and tee-box conditions. For Willmann Road, the developer’s drainage-channel plan remains a stated intended use. Readers can inspect the commission’s posted agenda materials for the staff reports, maps and site plan, and check a future public agenda for the Goodrich parking permit.
