Development News from the latest meeting
City Commission Meeting - July 13th, 2026
Published: Jul 13, 2026
Special Use Permit Granted for Mobile Home in Agricultural District
The Kingsville City Commission held a public hearing and discussed a request to amend the zoning ordinance by granting a special use permit to place a mobile home in an agriculture district at 2725 East Corral. The Planning and Zoning Board unanimously approved the permit. One resident expressed concern about setbacks, which city staff assured would be addressed. The permit is permanent for the property owner but requires re-application if the mobile home is removed or replaced. The area is considered difficult for housing development due to proximity to the air base and accident potential zone.
North Armstrong Avenue Stormwater Project Extended; Repaving Expected Before Dove Season
The Kingsville City Commission approved change order number five for the North Armstrong Avenue Stormwater Improvement Project (Project 10) with DJ Utility Service LLC. This is a time extension for 60 days to address setbacks the contractor has faced. The roadway is expected to be repaved before dove season, with the first home game for the local high school scheduled for August 29th. The project is funded by the GLO CDBG-MIT grant.
Kingsville Pursues Grants for Fire Department Ambulances and Police Radios
The Kingsville City Commission approved a resolution authorizing the city to submit an application to the FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program for two new ambulances. The grant requires a 10% cash match of $68,563, with FEMA covering $658,636. The department has a firefighter who handles grant writing. The commission also approved a resolution authorizing the city to submit an application to the 1.5 First Responder Donations Program for five portable radios for the Police Department, costing $38,854 with no cash match.
Kingsville Police Department Joins U.S. Marshal Service Fugitive Task Force
The Kingsville City Commission approved a resolution authorizing the Police Chief to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Marshal Service to participate in the South Texas Violent Offenders Task Force. This partnership enhances collaboration, improves officer safety through access to federal resources and intelligence, and strengthens the department's ability to apprehend violent fugitives. Participation may provide reimbursement for eligible operational costs.
New State Law Transfers Mobile Food Unit Permitting to Texas Health Department
The Kingsville City Commission discussed House Bill 2844, a new Texas legislation effective July 1, 2026, which transfers the permitting and inspection of all mobile food units and pushcarts from local health departments to the Texas Department of State Health Services. This creates a statewide blanket permit. While the state now handles permitting, local cities will still enforce their zoning ordinances regarding placement. There are concerns from some food truck owners about increased costs ($175/year) and tiered inspection fees.
