Two Comal Parcels Would Shift to Different Schertz Zoning Districts

The 10.7-acre and 5-acre cases start from different maps and uses, with public hearings Sept. 2 and Sept. 15 at Schertz City Hall.

Schertz is advancing two separate Comal County parcel requests: 10.7 acres would receive Public Use zoning, while 5 acres would move from General Business to General Business II.

Nearby property owners have two chances to weigh in before a final decision: the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing is Sept. 2, and City Council's ordinance hearing is Sept. 15. The Sept. 2 hearing precedes the Sept. 15 hearing by 13 days.

Two parcels start from different zoning baselines

Schertz's case maps show parcel 56613 in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction and parcel 73267 in General Business, giving the two requests different zoning baselines. Public Use is the proposed district for parcel 56613. General Business II, or GB-2, is proposed for parcel 73267. Those maps make this more than a shared calendar item: one case would apply city zoning to ETJ land, while the other would change an existing commercial classification.

PLZC20260186 covers about 10.7 acres roughly 900 feet northwest of FM 482 and Schwab Road. The city's three-page case map identifies Comal County property ID 56613 and shows the project boundary, nearby roads, utility features and aerial context. The council version of the request is Ordinance 26-S-023.

PLZC20260143 covers about 5 acres within property ID 73267, about 1,555 feet east of FM 2252 and the Interstate 35 north access road. The case map places the request at 19275 IH 35 North and shows the requested GB-to-GB-2 shift. The council version is Ordinance 26-S-030.

What the notices establish — and what they leave open

The notices establish the acreage, parcel IDs, requested districts, hearing dates and case numbers. The city's official DocumentCenter name links the parcel 56613 exhibits to Dry Comal Creek Nature Park, but the notice and three map pages do not describe the planned facilities, site improvements or timeline. The records also do not identify the development planned for parcel 73267. Those scope questions remain open until staff reports or applicant materials enter the public record.

The Sept. 2 commission can recommend action on PLZC20260186 and PLZC20260143; City Council then takes up Ordinances 26-S-023 and 26-S-030 on Sept. 15. Both hearings are scheduled for 6 p.m. in the Municipal Complex Council Chambers, 1400 Schertz Parkway, Building 4. The city directs questions to its Planning Division at planning@schertz.com or 210-619-1780.
