The overview
According to the meeting agenda, the majority of the property is planned to be used for industrial development.
With the property being across Schwab Road from Sysco, it matches the city comprehensive plan, which highlights sections of northern Schertz as areas for commercial development.
The multifamily residential development would take up about 19 acres of the property to allow for an estimated 350-unit apartment complex, according to the agenda.
During the meeting, the applicant for the rezoning stated that the property owner has 120 acres, and the plan is to leave 20 acres as general business, which would allow for retail opportunities along I-35.
Moving forward
City Council approved the resolution in a 5-1 vote, with council member Paul Macaluso voting against the rezoning due to the lack of general business opportunity in the area.
“I think we have limited real estate, and that is core general business area for future retail growth,” he said.
With the approval of the rezoning, the applicant can begin the development process for the proposed project.
