NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION 7/3/2026

The City of Marfa Planning & Zoning Commission will conduct a public hearing on 23rd day of July at 6:00 PM, 2026, in the Casner Room at City Hall to receive public input on two items:
1) A request to rezone two lots located at 804 W. San Antonio St. [Legal description: Lots 5 and 16, Block 114, Quartermaster Addition]. The request seeks to rezone Lot 5 from (R-1) Single-Family Residential to (I) Industrial and Lot 16 from (C-3) Highway Commercial to (I) Industrial. The proposed zoning would make Lots 5 and 16 consistent with the eight other lots on the property, which are currently zoned (I) Industrial.
2) A series of proposed amendments to the City of Marfa Planning and Zoning Ordinance 02-04 for the purpose of combatting the housing affordability crisis and increasing housing opportunities as follows:

  • Remove the mixed-use prohibition (Article 1, Section 5)
  • Introduce elements of form-based area regulations for dwellings in districts other
    than the (R-1) Single Family Residential District (Articles 3 and 4)
  • Relax street frontage requirements for dwellings in Commercial and Industrial
    districts (Article 4)
  • Require all dwelling units to have one or more off-street parking spaces (Article 4).
    Residents and property owners are encouraged to participate. Comments may be presented at the hearing or submitted in writing to Stephen.rabourn@gmail.com.
