Ordinance 20-S-19 - Conduct a public hearing, and consideration and/or action approving an Ordinance on a request to rezone approximately 0.5 acres of land from Single-Family Residential District (R-2) to General Business District (GB), located at 603 Main Street, City of Schertz, Guadalupe County, Texas. First Reading (B. James/ L. Wood/ N. Koplyay).
Mayor Gutierrez recognized Planner 1 Nick Koplyay who introduced this item on the request to rezone approximately 0.5 acres of land from Single-Family Residential District to Neighborhood Services, located at 603 Main Street.
He stated this application was noticed in the "San Antonio Express" as a zone change from Single-Family Residential District (R-2) to General Business District (GB), which is the reason it is listed on the June 23, 2020 City Council meeting agenda as a zone change to General Business District (GB); however, following the public hearing held at the June 10, 2020 Planning and Zoning Commission, the zone change request has been revised to Neighborhood Services District (NS) instead of General Business District (GB). After conversations with Staff and the property owner, the Planning and Zoning Commission decided that the Neighborhood Services District (NS) is more representative of the objectives for Historic Downtown Schertz, and still allows the property owner to achieve his goals for redevelopment. The property owner and the Planning and Zoning Commission agreed to move forward to City Council under a recommendation of approval to rezone the property to Neighborhood Services District (NS).
Mayor Gutierrez opened the public hearing for those wishing to speak, and as no one spoke; closed the public hearing for Council comments.
Mayor Gutierrez recognized Planner 1 Nick Koplyay along with Assistant City Manager Brian James addressed questions from Council.
