This is a feasibility study and architectural scope of work for the renovation and expansion of an existing pre-engineered metal building (former movie theater) into the Lockhart Recreation Center. The $11.8 million project involves approximately 11,800 sq ft of renovation plus 2,000 sq ft of new construction, including an indoor multi-activity court, fitness facilities, community room, and outdoor recreational facilities. Developers should monitor this case as it represents significant public infrastructure investment in Lockhart that may affect market dynamics and future development patterns in the area.
56-313 — other
Case 56-313 proposes creation of a residential parking permit area on Center Street near Lockhart I.S.D., restricting parking during school hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on school days). This administrative parking management measure may affect parking availability for nearby commercial or residential properties and should be monitored if you have operations or development interests in the Center Street corridor.
CA-246 — Retail commercial uses
The applicant seeks to rezone 1.806 acres from Industrial Light to Commercial Heavy Business to enable retail commercial uses at 221 East MLK Industrial Boulevard. While the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval (6-1 vote), the Lockhart EDC opposed the change due to concerns about loss of industrial zoning in Industrial Park II. The property's corner location between the industrial park and residential/commercial areas to the east could serve as a transitional use.
64-205 — other
Case 64-205 proposes an ordinance amendment to update legal definitions for retail food establishments in compliance with the Texas Department of State Health Services requirements that went into effect in 2004. The amendment preserves exemptions for outdoor community events lasting no more than four consecutive days, allowing continued operation of local events like Cinco de Mayo and the Texas Monthly Barbecue Festival. This is primarily a regulatory compliance update with minimal impact on commercial development or zoning.
64-128 — Retail uses including convenience stores and gas stations
This 1.806-acre property will be rezoned from Industrial Light to Commercial Heavy Business to enable retail development including convenience stores and gas stations. The rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan's Local Corridor designation and nearby residential/mixed-use developments, but the City's Economic Development Corporation has expressed concern about the loss of industrially-zoned land in Lockhart Industrial Park II.
ZC-26-02 — rezoning
This rezoning request seeks to change 1.806 acres in Lockhart Industrial Park II from Light Industrial to Commercial Heavy Business zoning. The property is located at 221 East MLK Industrial Boulevard and is being pursued by CSW Lockhart LP through petitioner Anthony Goode. Developers should monitor this case if they have interests in Lockhart's industrial or commercial development patterns.
64-203 — other
This case involves adoption of an Entrance Corridor Overlay District text amendment establishing enhanced design and land use standards along key gateways into Lockhart. The overlay imposes specific requirements on building design, color, signage, lighting, landscaping, and sidewalks for properties within designated corridors, which will affect development feasibility and costs for any future projects in these areas. Developers should review whether their properties fall within the overlay district boundaries and assess compliance with the design standards if planning development or redevelopment.
64-196 — other
This case involves establishment of an Entrance Corridor Overlay District (ECOD) by replacing and reorganizing subsections of the zoning code. The action includes renumbering existing zoning provisions, which may affect how uses are regulated across different zoning districts in Lockhart.
ZC-26-01 — rezoning
This rezoning request seeks to change 1.164 acres at 519 West San Antonio Street from CLB to CMB zoning, which would allow for more intensive commercial development on the property. The change enables a broader range of commercial uses permitted in the higher-density CMB district. Developers should monitor this case if they have commercial development interests in this Lockhart corridor.
17-2026 — other
This ordinance amendment clarifies and expands what qualifies as ordinary maintenance in Lockhart's Historic District and on City-designated landmarks, specifically allowing repainting with color shade changes without requiring a Certificate for Alteration. The changes also permit replacement of exterior painted wood with composite wood-like materials as an exemption from Certificate requirements, provided the new material is similar in color to the original. These modifications may reduce permitting requirements and costs for property owners undertaking routine maintenance and restoration work in historic areas.
04-700 — other
This case involves the abandonment and vacation of a 0.171-acre unnamed alley segment connecting South Blanco Street to South Guadalupe Street in Lockhart. The City will convey the abandoned right-of-way to adjacent property owners. This may be relevant to developers with adjacent properties seeking to consolidate land or eliminate public access constraints.
86-101 — Residential and commercial purposes
The City Council is considering approval of a First Amendment to the Seawillow Ranch Development Agreement for a 586.778-acre development consisting of residential and commercial uses. This amendment to an existing development agreement affects a large mixed-use property near Lay Road and may impact development timing, infrastructure requirements, or land use terms for this significant project.
ZC-24-08 — rezoning
This rezoning case proposes converting nearly 85 acres of agricultural land to residential medium density zoning. The hearing was postponed from the April 21, 2026 agenda date to May 6, 2025, so timing and any potential phasing should be confirmed. Developers should monitor this case if planning residential or mixed-use projects in the FM 1322 corridor.
74-114 — Class A office space (second floor); meetings, forums, and music events (first and third floors)
Gloria Group Partners, LP has acquired and improved the property at 119 W. San Antonio Street with $3.15+ million in building improvements, creating or maintaining at least 25 full-time jobs. The City is providing a performance-based infrastructure rebate not to exceed $200,000 contingent upon job and payroll maintenance. This economic development agreement aligns with the City's targeted business refresh strategy to increase Class A office space and support tourism/hospitality.
