A proposed lease amendment would require New Braunfels to get its economic development corporation’s written consent before subleasing park and trail land near 3982 Hunter Road.
The EDC is scheduled to discuss and possibly act on the lease amendment at 5 p.m. Nov. 17 in City Hall Council Chambers, 550 Landa St. The proposal has not been established as an adopted change.

What the amendment would do
Under the proposed amendment, the city would need the EDC’s express prior written consent before subleasing the Hunter Road property. The draft identifies two tracts of approximately 62.327 and 68.163 acres near 3982 Hunter Road, with the EDC as lessor and the city as lessee. It says the other lease terms would remain unchanged.
For residents who use the Hunter Road park and trail area, the proposal would place another public body between the city and any future sublease. The amendment names no proposed subtenant or particular sublease in the retained research; the question before the EDC is the consent requirement itself.
How the lease reached this point
A September EDC agenda proposed a five-year city lease for trail and park access. The Sept. 28 City Council agenda then listed approval of the EDC’s recommendation as a consent proposal. Those agenda entries describe proposed actions; they do not, on their own, establish how either body voted.
The draft amendment leaves its execution date and the base lease’s effective date blank. The EDC’s Nov. 17 action record and an executed base lease would show whether the consent clause takes effect and clarify the city’s existing sublease rights. Readers can inspect the proposed clause in the linked amendment while that decision remains pending.
