City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

02/20/2024

BACKGROUND

Annexation of land into the City's corporate limits may be voluntary or involuntary. The Texas Local Government Code (LGC) provides requirements and outlines the process based on the annexation type.The proposed annexation is voluntary and on request of the owner HLH Development LLC, thus Chapter 43, Subchapter C-3 of the Texas Local Government Code applies. The City's Unified Development Code (UDC) Section 21.4.8 includes provisions for processing of voluntary annexation requests.

HLH Development, LLC has submitted a petition for voluntary annexation to the City of Schertz for approximately 7.7 acres of land, a portion of Bexar County Property Identification Number 339286, also known as 8215 Trainer Hale Road, City Of Schertz, Bexar County.

Upon City Council accepting HLH Development, LLC's current petition for voluntary annexation of the approximately 7.7 acres, it would initiate the process to annex and zone the property. The adoption of resolution 24-R-07 does not annex the subject property, but allows City Council to annex the property by ordinance in the future. An ordinance for annexation of the subject property must be approved by City Council to annex the property, which is tentatively scheduled for the April 2, 2024, City Council meeting. The annexation ordinance will be accompanied by a service agreement to meet the requirements of UDC Section 21.4.8 and LGC § 43.0672. The applicant has also requested to zone the subject property, upon annexation, Single Family Residential District (R-1). The zoning application to accompany the annexation is tentatively scheduled for the March 6, 2024 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.

A public hearing notice was published on January 31, 2024, in the San Antonio Express News.
