P&Z Meeting - 2026/06/08

The Nacogdoches Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on June 8, 2026, focused primarily on the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and zoning regulations related to manufactured housing. City planners and commission members discussed the importance of ETJ in managing growth, subdivision regulations, and infrastructure planning outside city limits. They reviewed recent legislative changes affecting ETJ authority and annexation, and considered challenges related to development standards and utility services in the ETJ. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the proposed creation of a new residential zoning district (R3M) to accommodate HUD-code manufactured homes, ensuring compliance with state mandates and addressing affordable housing needs. The commission also discussed community engagement plans, including neighborhood meetings and outreach to affected subdivisions, to gather input on zoning amendments. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were reported, but the meeting included discussion of a recently awarded grant from the Texas General Land Office to develop a new comprehensive plan, which may influence future planning and zoning activities.
