The city filing asks New Braunfels to add a special-use overlay for short-term rental at 1064 Comal Ave., with a Planning Commission hearing listed for Oct. 7.
The proposal would affect a 0.21-acre C-3 property at 1064 Comal Ave. by allowing a residence there to operate as a short-term rental if the city approves the overlay.
The notice identifies Blackbird Development Group LLC as the requester, acting on behalf of James Fritsch, and lists the case as SUP26-313. The filing seeks permission for the rental use while retaining the property’s C-3 commercial base zoning.
The decision path
The request is at the review stage, not the approval stage. The city describes a special-use overlay as a zoning change that permits a particular use that the property’s existing classification does not ordinarily allow.
The Planning Commission is scheduled to hold the Oct. 7 hearing and make a recommendation. The notice lists Oct. 26 for City Council’s first reading and says approval at two council readings is required before the change can take effect.
Residents can inspect the city’s SUP26-313 notice for the property description, requested use and review sequence. The commission recommendation and the two council readings are the next records that will establish whether the proposal advances or takes effect.
