PRIDE ROCK RANCH
Planned Development District
City of Schertz, Texas
September 27, 2011
PRIDE ROCK RANCH SUBDIVISION
Planned Development District Detailed Plan
Purpose of the Planned Development District (PDD)
As stated in Sec. 21.S.10.A of the City of Schertz's ("City") Unified Development Code
("UDC"), "the purpose of the Planned Development District is to promote and encourage
innovative development that is sensitive to su~xounding land uses and to the natural environment.
If this necessitates varying from available zoning districts, the proposed development should
demonstrate community benefits. A PDD should not be used to deviate from the provisions of
this UDC in a way that contradicts its intent."
Summa of the Pride Rock Ranch Subdivision
The Pride Rock Ranch subdivision is a proposed quality, single-family residential community of
approximately 547 homes spread over approximately 121.97 acres, approximately 2,800 linear
feet east of the intersection of F.M 1518 and Lower Seguin Road (the "Property"). The property
is currently undeveloped farm land. The property was recently annexed by the City of Schertz
on April 19, 2011, pursuant to Ordinance Number 11-A-09. Prior to annexation, a Master
Development Plan was submitted to the City establishing the subdivision. The submitted and
approved Master Development Plan consists ofi-esidential lots that do not conform to any current
zoning classification in the UDC. The lot dimensions, setbacks and certain related specifications
were agreed to by the Ciry and the owner of the Property, Croton Properties, LLC (the "Owner")
in an agreement {the "Agreement") executed and effective on September 27, 2011, and
authorized with respect to the City by Resolution Na. 11-R-37.
Water and sewer services will be provided to the Property the City of Schertz.
The Property is currently zoned PRE, Predevelopment Dish•ict, according to the City's official
zoning map. According to Section 21.S.S.A of the UDC, this designation is "intended for use for
undeveloped land in the City or as a temporary designation for existing uses for newly annexed
property." The closest zoning designation to the layout set forth in the approved Master
Development Plan is R-7, Single-Family Residential District. R-7 requires a minimum lot size
of 6,600 square feet. However, the Master Development Plan for Pride Rock Ranch consists of
Iots less than 6,600 square feet. Based an minimum lot sizes and the provisions of the
Agreement, a Planned Development District designation is necessary and apprapxiate for the
Property.
Conformance with Criteria for Approval
The Owner believes that the Pride Rock Ranch PDD satisfactorily addresses the Criteria for
Approval set forth in Sec. 21.S.10.F of the UDC.
A. The Plan in the Context of the Area
Pride Rock Ranch is a 121.97 acre PDD single-family community located in the south central
sector in the City of Schertz, Bexar County, Texas. The predominate land uses to the south, east,
north and west are undeveloped farm and agricultural properties, and single-family residences.
An intermediate school is located immediately to the west of the northern portion of the property.
B. Land Uses
The proposed development program is set forth below.

Until the Owner's dedication and full development of a private park and recordation of a
homeowners' association maintenance plan for such park {as further described below and all of
which must occur in connection with the recordation of a plat for the subdivision), the Owner
shall pay as each subdivision plat is approved 100% of the City's then applicable cash fee-in-lieu
of parkland dedication and cash fee-in-lieu of parkland development for each residential lot in
such plat. The City will deposit 50% of such fees in a separate account of its Parkland
Dedication Fund.
If the Owner determines to dedicate a private park at the location indicated on the MDP
and PDD exhibits, the development plan and maintenance plan for such park must be approved
by the City and must be in full compliance with the private parkland requirements of the City's
UDC as then in effect. The Owner shall complete the development of the park, including all
required suppoz•ting public infrastructure for the park, and- shall record the homeowners'
association maintenance plan for the park prior to recordation of the final plat for the subdivision
containing such park.
Upon the Owner's dedication in a subdivision plat of a private park and completion of
development of the park and the recordation of the homeowners' association maintenance plan,
the Owner shall thereafter pay, as to the plat containing such fully-developed park and each
subsequent plat, 50% of the City's then applicable cash fee-in-lieu of dedication and cash fee-in-
lieu of parkland development. No portion of any such payments shall be deposited to the
account described above.
If the Owner completes the development of the park and recordation of the homeowners'
association maintenance plan for the park prior to recordation of the fmal plat containing the
park in full accordance with the plans therefore approved by the City, the City will reimburse the
Owner for the Owner's documented costs of developing such private park (excluding the value
of the land), but only to the extent of money deposited to the Parkland Dedication Fund account
described above. Thereafter, any money remaining in such account shall be released from the
account for improvements in any public park in the City. The Owner shall have no claim to any
such amounts remaining in such account. If the Owner fails to complete development of the
park and/or fails to record the homeowners' association maintenance plan for the park prior to
recordation of the final plat containing such park, the Owner shall not be entitled to any
reimbursement or any claim on money in such account, all of which shall be released from the
account for improvements in any public park in the City.

connect Ray Corbett Drive with Lower Seguin Raad. This connection will provide
