3. PUBLIC HEARING
A. ZC2016 -001
Hold a public hearing, consider and act upon a request to rezone approximately 3 acres of land
in the Verde Enterprise Business Park Planned Unit Development (PUD) Ordinance 07 -S -14A
to Planned Development District (PDD). The property is specifically Lot 1, Block 9 of the
Verde Enterprise Business Park, Unit 2 subdivision and is located at 17145 IH -35 N, City of
Schertz, Guadalupe County, Texas.
Mr. Richmond read the description.
Mr. Cox gave a presentation on the zoning case giving the following items:
® 6 surrounding property owners were mailed with no responses received
® Rezone 3 acres of the Verde Enterprise Business Park from PUD to PDD.
• The original PUD was adopted on March 6, 2007 and has a mix of commercial and
industrial use.
• The property will develop lot in accordance with PUD standards with the exception of
the building setback adjacent to property outside of the PDD be reduced from 50 feet
to 20 feet.
• Staff believes it is compatible with the adjacent land uses and it is unclear while
original PUD has the greater setbacks, while the current general business zoning
district, which is the adjacent property, has a 0 side yard setback for buildings.
• The zoning is similar to two other cases that we have heard previously, most recently
on the property directly across Mid - Cities.

No Comments
Public Hearing closed at 6:06 P.M.
Mr. Richmond asked for comments and questions from the Commission.
Mr. Evans asked if this rezone will change the setback on all sides of the property or just one
side? Mr. Cox responded that this zoning case would only change the setbacks along adjacent
properties that are not in the Planned Development District. Zone change will only affect this
property and only the eastern property line. Mr. Crawford asked if the Commission had
previously heard a case on the lot 17116 address. Mr. Cox responded that there have been
other rezoning cases and the other cases had the same request to lower the setback from 50
feet to 20 feet.
Mr. Richmond hearing no other comments, chair will entertain a motion.
Mr. Dahle made a motion to forward a recommendation of approval to City Council. Mr.
Crawford seconded the motion. Vote was a unanimous 6 -0. Motion carried.
