Big changes may be coming to Schertz, Texas, as the City Council gears up to hold public hearings on a series of ordinances that could transform large swaths of the city's landscape. Scheduled for June 4, officials will open the floor at the Municipal Complex Council Chambers to discuss the future of nearly 4,000 acres across Comal, Guadalupe, and Bexar counties. According to an announcement posted on the city's website, residents with any stakes in the game are encouraged to turn out and make their voices heard.
Starting with Ordinance 24-A-21, the proceedings will examine a request for the voluntary annexation of around 507 acres. If passed, this would roll Comal and Guadalupe County lands directly into Schertz's expanding jurisdiction. Following suit, Ordinance 24-S-22 seeks to change the zoning of 498.2 acres to a Single-Family Residential District and another 262.9 acres to a Manufacturing District - Light, laying the groundwork for both new homes and business opportunities.
Not to be overlooked, Ordinance 24-A-23 is a heavyweight initiative aimed at annexing a whopping 2,200 acres of territory from Bexar County. This move could significantly shift the city's boundaries and affect countless residents and landowners. The city council will also consider rezoning these acres to various residential and business districts under ordinances 24-S-24 and 24-S-25. These rezoning efforts paint a picture of a Schertz looking to balance its residential charm with economic vigor.
Additionally, Ordinance 24-S-26 enters the mix with a proposal for a Specific Use Permit that would allow for a Mixed-Use Self-Storage facility within a General Business District, inviting a blend of residential utility and commercial enterprise on approximately 2.2 acres located east of FM 3009 and Forest Ridge intersection. With the city's growth on the agenda, interested parties are invited to attend and weigh in on the transformative proposals.
