| PROPOSED ZONING: |
| The request is to rezone approximately 0.14 acres of land from Single Family Residential District (R-2) to Main Street Mixed Use District (MSMU), in order to utilize the property for commercial purposes and for additional parking space which will benefit 603 Main Street, 204 Randolph, and 539 Main Street. |
| CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: |
The Sector Plan amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) designates the subject property as part of Historic Downtown Schertz. The objective for Historic Downtown Schertz is to leverage Schertz’s history and heritage to create a unique destination with local independent businesses, while encouraging the use of existing buildings. The Main Street Mixed-Use District (MSMU) was created to help achieve these objectives. The Main Street Mixed Use District (MSMU) is intended to provide a base zoning district to the area along Main Street, and surrounding right of ways. In light of the history of the area and variety of land uses that exist, this zoning district allows for both single-family residential uses and low intensity commercial uses. Reduced setbacks and parking requirements are also provided as part of this district due to physical constraints.
- Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives: The proposed zone change to Main Street Mixed Use District (MSMU) is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, because the new zoning district will allow the subject property to accomplish the goals set out for Historic Downtown Schertz.
- Impact of Infrastructure: The proposed rezoning request should have a minimal impact on the existing water and wastewater systems
- Impact of Public Facilities/Services: The proposed rezoning request will have minimal impact on public services, such as schools, fire, police, parks and sanitation services.
- Compatibility with Existing and Potential Adjacent Land Uses: The subject property is currently surrounded by a single-family dwelling, a counselors' office, and right-of-way, with commercial businesses in the vicinity along Main Street and across Randolph Ave (The Hidden Grove). The Main Street Mixed Use District (MSMU) will allow for either low intensity commercial or single-family residential, both of which are compatible with the adjacent land uses.

| STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: |
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan identifies this area as Historic Downtown Schertz which is intended to leverage Schertz’s history and heritage to create a unique destination with local independent businesses, encouraging the use of existing buildings. The rezoning request will have a minimal impact on the public infrastructure, facilities or services and is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and compatible with the surrounding land uses.
The applicant is proposing to rezone the property from the current Single Family Residential District (R-2) to Main Street Mixed Use District (MSMU), which will allow for single family dwellings or low intensity commercial land uses. Based on the new zoning district's compatibility with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the land uses of the adjacent properties, the Main Street Mixed Use District (MSMU) is the most appropriate zoning district for the subject property.
