Whether the proposed zoning change promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the City. As part of promoting health, safety, and welfare, the City should encourage development compatible with surrounding uses, utilizing standards and transitional uses to alleviate negative impacts. Any new development will be required to meet the site design requirements listed in Article 9 of the Unified Development Code. Per the letter of intent, the applicant wishes to use the lot to revitalize Main Street. As part of the zone change, the Engineering Department provided a traffic impact evaluation and concluded that there would be no adverse impact to the City's transportation system due to the zone change request. The intent of the proposed zone change and no change on impact to the City's transportation system promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. 3. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed change will be consistent and appropriate with existing uses in the immediate area; The proposed Main Street Mixed-Use District (MSMU) is intended for properties along Main Street and in proximity to Main Street, and permits single-family, multi-family, and low-intensity commercial uses. Along Main Street, there are existing commercial uses which include restaurants, professional offices, parking lots, and retail. The applicant intends to revitalize the lot in compliance with the Main Street Mixed-Use (MSMU) permitted uses and site design requirements, which are consistent with and appropriate with the existing uses in the immediate area. 4. Whether other factors are deemed relevant and important in the consideration of the amendment. Staff has ensured all UDC requirements have been met for the proposed zone change application. The City of Schertz Fire, EMS, and Police Departments have reviewed the proposed zone change request and do not provide objections. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of PLZC20260166 due to the location of the subject property on Main Street and compatibility of the proposed zoning district with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Future Land Use Map.
