ZBA Meeting - 2026/09/17

The Nacogdoches Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting addressed zoning case ZBA 2026-01, concerning a variance from the 12-foot front fence setback requirement for the property at 407 King Street. The meeting title identifies the date as September 17, 2026, while the metadata lists October 1, 2026. The applicants sought to keep a recently built white picket fence closer to the street, citing safety, privacy, and pedestrian traffic concerns. Staff noted uncertainty about the exact property line and public right-of-way, and raised concerns about access to a water meter and other utilities. Public speakers supported the request; staff reported one written opposition letter.

The board approved a motion allowing a fence setback other than 12 feet, with the final location to be determined by the city and applicants after a survey is provided. The city indicated the applicants would still need a fence permit and utility locates, and the fence must be outside the public right-of-way. No procurement, contract, or spending activity was identified.
