| CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: |
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), through the Future Land Use Plan and the South Schertz Sector Plan, designates this subject property as Mixed Use Neighborhood Center.
- Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives: The land use designation of Mixed Use Neighborhood Center is intended to accommodate a mixture of retail, restaurant, office, and multi-family residential uses.
- Impact of Infrastructure: The property will be serviced by the City of Schertz for water and sewer through 8-inch lines.
- Impact of Public Facilities/Services: The proposed zone change would have minimal impact to the public services, such as schools, fire, police and parks.
- Compatibility with Existing and Potential Adjacent Land Uses: This property is surrounded by residential neighborhoods and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designates the property as Mixed Use Neighborhood Center to provide a mixture of housing and neighborhood commercial services. The proposed rezoning to Planned Development District (PDD) with a base zoning of Apartment/Multi-Family (R4) is compatible with the existing and potential land uses surrounding the subject tract.
|
| STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: |
The property has the land use designation under the Schertz Sector Plan for Southern Schertz as Mixed Use Neighborhood Center. The Mixed Use Neighborhood Center land use designation encourages the mixture of commercial and residential type developments. This would include retail, restaurant, office and multi-family residential uses. The proposed rezoning to Planned Development District (PDD), with a base zoning of Apartment/Multi-Family Residential District (R4) does conform to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation.
The approximately 15 acres of land will develop with 300 units ranging from 1 bedroom to 4 bedroom units. The developer will be providing amenities such as outdoor/open recreational space, pool, business center, kid center, and other common areas for the community.
Given that the adjacent properties to the north, east and south are all residentially used, the proposed rezoning would act as a buffer to these properties from FM 1518. The property will be working to maintain the natural landscape and existing trees that are on site as well as providing amenities to the residents/guest that will live here.
Staff is recommending approval of the FM 1518 Apartments Planned Development District as presented.
