City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

07/26/2022

BACKGROUND

The rezoning of the Sterling Grove went before the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on June 22, 2022 where the applicant discussed with the Commission of having the half acre lots be on septic. For these lots to be on septic the applicant would have to submit a wavier that would be associated with the preliminary plat. The Commission spoke at length about the sewer for the proposed 160 half acre lots being with Green Valley Special Utility District (GVSUD) Certificates of Convenience & Necessity (CCN). Due to this portion of the property not being within the City of Schertz Certificates of Convenience & Necessity (CCN), they would be unable to tie into the proposed sewer that will serve the rest of the development and would be required to extend the GVSUD sewer line to this area as there is not currently sewer in place.

Given the discussion between the applicant and the Commission, the applicant felt that with the uncertainty of the waiver approval with the preliminary plat, the applicant has requested to enter into a development agreement with the City of Schertz. Council approved this item at the last meeting contingent upon city staff reaching out to Green Valley SUD about the provision for sewer service. Staff will update council on the discussions at the meeting.
