The South Padre Is­land City Commission met on Wednesday eve­ning and came out of the room with heads held high as the building or­dinances for the city are now seeing changes.

After a two-year long battle, Padre Blvd. and the entertainment dis­trict are expect to see some changes in build­ing standards for new developments.

With the new ordi­nance applauded pass­ing its first reading in the city meeting, the wheels are turning to give SPI a more people friendly layout, said Rick Vasquez, SPI tran­sit and development di­rector.
