2026 Annual Membership Meeting goes on despite cold, wet weather
Winter weather didn't stop dozens of member households from attending the Annual WOHA Membership Meeting on January 24 at Walker Ranch Senior Center. A summary of the prior fiscal year's finances and budget for the current year were approved, and elections were held for 4 expired board seats for which members selected among 6 eligible candidates.

Keynote speaker District 9 Councilwoman Misty Spears addressed concerns raised by attendees. Some expressed worries over potential proliferation of various types of Boarding Homes, including a new Sober Home on the east side of the subdivision, for which Spears confirmed she will strive to introduce amendments to the existing city ordinance intended to regulate these businesses allowed to operate in residential neighborhoods.
Spears also addressed concerns raised by some homeowners regarding Public Works on-going installation of up to four pedestrian bridges spanning wide drainage culverts along Whisper Valley. She said the need for public safety improvements needs to be balanced with reasonable accommodation for the eight affected homeowners including proper restoration of the driveways being modified. Three of the bridges are on hold while her staff partners with WOHA to clarify community concerns and negotiate with Public Works.
Board members Simon Esparza, likely to succeed retiring Peter Lund as WOHA President, summarized key issues for the organization in 2026, including potential painting of the community perimeter wall which is in need of a fresh coat particularly along Wurzbach. This expense contractually falls upon the 39 homeowners who own a respective section of the wall (see related page) but WOHA is considering a fundraising effort to assist them if the project moves forward.
Amendments to the Community Covenants were Ratified in 2025
Current and potential property owners are advised that amendments to the Whispering Oaks Community Covenants were ratified for the majority of parcels within the subdivision in 2025. Up to seven new amendments may apply to a parcel in perpetuity, including new restrictions on operation of existing or future Short Term Rental properties within the subdivision.
Amendments which secured the legal threshold for approval were filed with Bexar County Property Records and include supporting documentation which is accessible to the public. Amendment approval varied by Unit. Prospective property buyers are strongly encouraged to conduct due diligence of a deed prior to purchase.
Approved amendments took effect for all properties within the respective Unit upon the filing date. All current property owners received written confirmation of campaign results in June 2025. Learn more about the changes here.
