Planning and Zoning - March 5, 2026

The City of Kerrville Planning and Zoning Commission met on March 5, 2026, to discuss several development and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a preliminary plat for the Whiskey Springs mixed-use subdivision, covering 787.63 acres with commercial, multifamily, residential, and golf course components. The commission approved the plat with conditions related to street naming, utility easements, and maintenance responsibilities. Additionally, the commission reviewed proposed amendments to the city’s development code, including changes to residential zoning regulations, definitions for new land uses such as data centers and battery energy storage systems, and parking requirements for multi-tenant buildings. A significant policy discussion focused on a proposed change allowing duplexes on single-family block faces in R2 zoning districts, which raised concerns about transparency and potential neighborhood impacts. The commission voted to approve most code amendments but decided to pull the duplex-related block face change for further review and public discussion before proceeding. Definitions for data centers were also approved to be added. No direct contract awards or budget allocations were discussed in this meeting.
