Public hearing for second Boerne Starbucks planned for May 5

A public hearing for a second Starbucks location in Boerne will be held May 5, during the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.

What we know

A new development is being proposed off Herff Road near Gallant Fox, with plans to bring a second Starbucks location in Boerne.

While the area of Herff Road that is being developed is zoned for commercial and retail use, a SUP is needed due to the Starbucks having a drive-thru, which is not permitted to be abutting a residential property.

Development representatives April 15 said the proposed drive-thru would be screened with medium to large shrubs and other greenery to improve the appearance of the area.

The property is planned to have a right-in-right out access from Herff Road and secondary access from Gallant Fox.

Planning and Zoning meetings are held at City Hall, beginning at 6 p.m.
