The Boerne Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on September 8, 2025, focused on critical discussions regarding safety and access related to a proposed development near a local school. A representative from the school district expressed significant concerns about the implications of the development on student safety and security.

The representative emphasized the importance of understanding what would happen if certain stipulations, particularly those requiring approval from the Boerne Independent School District (BISD), were not met. They highlighted the need for thorough consideration of how the development could impact the safety of students and staff, especially regarding potential flooding and unauthorized access to the school grounds.

In response, a developer clarified that they had previously met with the school district and were open to discussions about an access easement. They noted that an existing 12-foot wide access easement through the school property was established before the school was built. The developer assured that any access would be strictly for emergency use, equipped with a gated entry that only emergency services could access.

The meeting underscored the ongoing dialogue between the school district and developers, with both parties recognizing the importance of prioritizing student safety in the planning process. The commission's decision on the proposed development will be pivotal in determining the next steps for both the developers and the school district.
