The Castroville Building Block Project includes updates to the Comprehensive Plan, the Downtown Plan, and a Unified Development Ordinance.

At this phase of the project, these are the questions where Castroville community input is needed! Input from this survey will inform the next steps in the process.

Reimagining the Highway

Hwy rendering

Would you like to see the city work with TXDOT toward a safer design for Hwy-90?

    60% (72 votes)

    48% (55 votes)

Conservation Development

conservation neighborhood

Rather than building dozens of single-family homes spread across a property (as current zoning requires), the same number of homes would be allowed to be closer together, allowing green space to be aggregated and preserved.

Conservation development can preserve permeable land for groundwater recharge, ecosystem protection, stormwater drainage, and animal migration, among other benefits.

Would you be supportive of concentrating development if it meant preserving open space?

This poll has concluded.

  • No, conservation development is not for Castroville.
    22% (29 votes)
  • Yes, I would be interested in seeing conservation development.
    39% (50 votes)
  • Maybe, but I'd like to learn more about this before deciding.
    39% (50 votes)
Total Votes: 129
