Nueces County commissioners keep old set back rule

Nueces County commissioners approved a draft of an erosion response plan that includes a long-standing 350-foot beach development rule.

The plan now will be sent to the Texas General Land Office for review. After that process, which could take a few months, public input will be sought before a final plan is approved. The 4-0 vote was taken during the absence of Commissioner Joe A. Gonzalez, who had to leave early.
