Wimberley Boards Set Packed Agendas for Zoning, Roads, Parks, and Budget

Wimberley's advisory boards and City Council have scheduled a series of meetings covering zoning changes at 14306 Ranch Road 12, short-term rental regulations, a roadway maintenance bid, and a preliminary city budget. All four meetings listed below are agenda-only at this time — minutes have not yet been published, so no outcomes, votes, or final decisions are confirmed in the public record.

Parks and Recreation Board — July 8

The board was scheduled to elect a Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and Secretary for terms ending June 30, 2027. Discussion items on the agenda included the Martha Knies Community Playground, the Cypress Creek Nature Preserve Erosion and Trail Improvement Project, and an update on the Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan. Minutes are not yet available, so election results and any board recommendations are not confirmed.

Planning and Zoning Commission — July 9

The commission was set to elect a Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson for terms ending June 30, 2027. Public hearings on the agenda covered amendments to Article 9.03 regarding short-term rentals and a zoning amendment for 1.61 acres at 14306 Ranch Road 12 (ZA-26-001). Also listed were a conditional use permit for eating establishments and alcohol sales at 14306 Ranch Road 12 (CUP-26-001), an exterior modification certificate of appropriateness for 103 Oak Dr, and a replat of lots 27 and 28 in Paradise Hills, Section 2 Revised. No minutes have been published.

City Council — July 16 (Regular Meeting)

Council was scheduled to consider the same zoning amendment (ZA-26-001) and conditional use permit (CUP-26-001) for 14306 Ranch Road 12 that the Planning and Zoning Commission took up on July 9. The agenda also included amendments to city code regarding short-term rentals, a Hotel Occupancy Tax grant reimbursement of up to $2,000 for local music groups, selection of a bidder for the 2026 Roadway Maintenance Project (MAINT-2026-001), and Resolution 15-2026 regarding Hays County water resource management efforts. Outcomes are not yet in the record.

City Council — July 16 (Budget Workshop)

A separate council workshop was scheduled the same day to receive a staff update on the preliminary budget for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Agenda items included review of the proposed fee schedule and discussion of proposed city goals. No figures beyond the workshop topics are available in the agenda record.

What This Means for Residents

The 14306 Ranch Road 12 zoning and conditional use permit items appear on both the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council agendas, indicating a property at that address is seeking zoning changes and permission to operate an eating establishment with alcohol sales. Short-term rental regulations are under review by both the commission and council, which could affect property owners and renters. The roadway maintenance project bid selection, if confirmed, would determine which contractor handles 2026 road work. The budget workshop signals the start of the city's annual budget process, including potential changes to the fee schedule residents pay for city services.

Coming Up

No upcoming meetings are listed in the next 14 days, according to the available agendas. Residents should watch for published minutes from the July meetings to confirm what was actually decided.
