The Bastrop Planning & Zoning Commission meeting on October 29, 2026, included appointments, development applications, and proposed development-code changes. The commission elected Keith Auburn as chair and Gary Moss as vice chair, both by 4–3 votes, and appointed Heather Green to the steering committee for the city’s transportation master plan update. It recommended approval of a conditional use permit for a second accessory dwelling unit at 406 Cedar Street and approved a comprehensive-plan land-use amendment for Bastrop West. The commission also reviewed Bastrop West’s planned development district proposal for a large mixed-use project that could include commercial, residential, medical, hospitality, and recreational uses. Discussion covered proposed building heights and impervious-cover limits, roads and traffic, water and wastewater service, drainage, open space, and tree preservation; the transcript does not clearly capture the final vote on the PDD request.

The commission unanimously approved amendments allowing taller fences and wider or additional driveways on rural properties. It unanimously tabled a proposed downtown historic-district ordinance that would set ground-floor active-use requirements and regulate alcohol-focused businesses, directing staff to reconsider the proposal after concerns about vacancies, property-owner impacts, and implementation. The meeting identified no contract awards, vendor selections, procurement approvals, or specific spending allocations.
