Del Rio Zoning Board to Hear Variance Request from Eliazar Carrillo

The City of Del Rio Zoning Board of Adjustment took up Appeal #26-03 on March 16, a variance request filed by Eliazar Carrillo seeking relief from area regulations governing an R-S-O zoning district within city limits.

The R-S-O designation, a residential classification used in Del Rio's zoning code, carries specific area requirements that Carrillo's application seeks to modify. The exact dimensions of the variance, the subject property's address, and any staff recommendation were not included in the public notice materials available at publication time. The hearing was held to accept public comment on the request before the board renders a decision.

The Zoning Board of Adjustment is the city body authorized under Del Rio's municipal code to grant variances where strict application of zoning regulations would create an undue hardship on a property owner. Appeals before the board are numbered sequentially; Appeal #26-03 is the third such case logged in the current fiscal or calendar year series, suggesting the board has maintained a relatively light docket heading into spring 2026.

The January 26, 2026 public notice from the City of Del Rio Zoning Board of Adjustment, listed among Val Verde County's published municipal notices, is the most recently dated Zoning Board posting prior to the March 16 hearing, though the supplied notice text does not explicitly name Carrillo or Appeal #26-03.

The specific variance sought, including which area regulation is at issue and what relief Carrillo requested, remains pending full disclosure from the city's planning office. The outcome of the March 16 hearing had not been publicly confirmed as of publication.
