Zoning Board of Adjustments and Appeals Meeting September 2, 2026

The City of Eagle Pass Texas Zoning Board of Adjustments and Appeals held a regular meeting on September 2, 2026, primarily focused on public hearings regarding variance requests for zoning ordinance setbacks related to residential properties. Key procurement-related discussions involved petitions for variances to reduce front yard setbacks to allow construction of carports and single-family dwellings. One petition by Eduardo F. Salasar sought to reduce the front yard setback from 25 feet to 9 feet for a carport, with considerations given to accommodating a disabled family member and maintaining neighborhood aesthetics. Another petition by LA R and Victor R. Lada requested a variance to encroach into the right-of-way for carport construction but was denied unanimously due to violations including disregard of stop work orders and encroachment concerns. A third petition involved reducing the minimum depth setback from 100 feet to 75.73 feet for a single-family dwelling; this petition was approved with conditions after discussion about procedural irregularities in public notice and application processing. The board emphasized adherence to proper application and public notice procedures to ensure fairness and compliance. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the meeting addressed zoning approvals that could impact future construction and development projects in the city.
