What they’re saying
The impact
Before construction, Buc-ee’s must complete a traffic impact analysis. City staff said this document is on its fifth round of edits, awaiting a response from Buc-ee’s. City staff told Community Impact the final approved plans will include and incorporate updated traffic patterns that were done when TxDOT overhauled the interstate in that area in 2023.
The zoning clarification is planned to go before the planning and zoning commission again in November. Should the zoning be approved, Buc-ee’s will still be unable to begin construction due to the incomplete status of permits and the traffic impact analysis. While this rezoning will allow resident comments, the postponement or denial of the clarification does not hinder the development, since it operates under the previous assigned zoning, Crane said. On Oct. 27, after publication time, Boerne City Council planned to hold a special meeting to discuss a resolution amending the economic development agreement between the city and Buc-ee’s in executive session, according to the meeting agenda. Community Impact will continue to update readers as the story develops.
“It has been nine years since this project was announced. A short pause to resolve these issues is not unreasonable. If we are going to do this project, then we must do it right, and it must be done well.” DANA MATHIS, BOERNE RESIDENT
