Agenda No. 6.   CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM    City Council Meeting:December 03, 2024 Department:Engineering Subject:Resolution 24-R-160 - Authorizing a construction contract with E-Z Bel Construction for the Buffalo Valley South Project (B.James/K.Woodlee/J.Nowak) BACKGROUND The proposed project will replace the existing water and sanitary sewer mains and repair the streets in the Buffalo Valley South area.  The Buffalo Valley South area is the neighborhood south of FM 78 that contains the following streets: 1st Street; 2nd Street; Chruch Street; Dowman Street; Lee Street; Mill Street; Wuest Street; and Zuehl (see attached map). The existing water mains are old and most do not meet the current minimum pipe size.  The sanitary sewer mains are also old and beginning to fail in some locations.  The sewer manholes are old, hand-constructed brick manholes that are also failing.  The proposed project will replace all the mains with modern materials and increase the pipe sizes to the minimum standards needed for the area and replace all the sewer manholes with new concrete ones.  The new infrastructure will have a much longer service life than the existing infrastructure. The streets in the area are in "fair" condition and were originally scheduled to be in an earlier SPAM Project for "rehabilitation."  These streets were in the "rehabilitation" category because they had deteriorated past the point where they could simply be "resurfaced."  They needed more work done to them than just resurfacing in order to reset their PCI to a near perfect score.  The streets were removed from the earlier SPAM Project because the water and sanitary sewer mains needed to be replaced.  The street work was combined with the utility replacement work to create a single project to complete everything at once, rather than have two successive projects.  This results in less overall disruption to the neighborhood. The City issued a Request for Bids (RFB) and bids were opened on November 22, 2024.  A total of three bids were received ranging from $4,817,637.93 to $6,127,381.00. The bid package contained a Base Bid and two alternates.  Alternate 1 is to pipe burst a segment of the new sanitary sewer main in Wuest St instead of trenching.  A portion of the sanitary sewer main lies in an easement across developed private property.  Pipe bursting this section could save some time and would be less disruptive to the property owner than trenching.  Alternate 2 is to use flowable fill for trench backfill instead of allowing excavated material to be used.  Flowable fill is self-compacting and would help ensure that trench settlement does not occur after the pavement is replaced. Staff carefully reviewed the alternates and the pros and cons of awarding them.  During this review it was noted that the costs of both alternates would fit within the available budget for the project. Since there are available funds for the alternates and the City will see additional benefits from construction of both alternates, Staff is recommending that the Base Bid and Alternates 1 and 2 be awarded.  Both staff and our on-call engineer have reviewed the bids and checked references on the low bidder.  Based on our analysis, Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to the low bidder, E-Z Bel Construction, for the amount of $4,817,637.93. GOAL To obtain authorization from City Council to execute a construction contract with E-Z Bel Construction for $4,817,637.93, with a not to exceed amount of $5,300,000 for the Buffalo Valley South Project. COMMUNITY BENEFIT Replacement of the water and sanitary sewer mains are expected to reduce the possibility of utility failures in the neighborhood.  Flows are also expected to improve, particularly since the new water mains will be appropriately sized.  The street rehabilitation will replace the aging and failing asphalt surface and increase the strenght of the base material.  The new street will have a longer service life and a new, smooth driving surface.  The new surface will improve the driving experience for residents. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Authorize execution of the construction contract with E-Z Bel Construction for $4,817,637.93, with a not to exceed amount of $5,300,000 for the Buffalo Valley South Project. FISCAL IMPACT Funding for the proposed project comes from a combination of General Funds earmarked for SPAM and Federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds.  The Federal ARP funds were allocated to the City of Schertz as part of the COVID recovery effort.  The ARP funds can only be used for specific project types, such as water and waste water utility replacement projects.  The funding breakdown is as follows:  Funding Source Amount General Fund (SPAM)$1,300,000 ARP Funds $4,000,000 Total:$5,300,000 RECOMMENDATION Approve Resolution 24-R-160 Attachments Bid Tab Sheet  Resolution 24-R-160 with attachments  Buffalo Valley South PPT Presentation  Buffalo Valley South Map  Project #2024-025 Due Date 11/22/2024 Project Name Buffalo Valley South Project Due Time 3:00 PM Name of Proposer Date Received Addendum Base Bid Alt 1 Alt2 Sum Total E-Z Bel Construction Nov 22nd 2024, 1:09 PM CST yes $ 3,793,406.51 181,331.00$ 842,900.42$ 4,817,637.93$ Pesado Construction Company, Inc.Nov 22nd 2024, 2:25 PM CST yes $ 5,109,513.00 253,788.00$ 764,080.00$ 6,127,381.00$ R.L.

They were among initial farm families to the Cibolo Valley. The sentinel event, captured by personal records and oral history, was the passing of a young female, daughter of one of the farm worker families. A proper burial place was not available in those early years, so Mr. Dietz marked off an area of his farm where the workers could bury their loved ones. The cemetery remains active today and is the only pubic cemetery in Schertz. We are proud to have received a Texas Historical Marker which recognizes the importance of the farm worker families to the development of Schertz. Another side note regarding Schertz' history, is that one of Ferdinand Dietz daughters, Bertha, married Adolph Schertz, owner of a cotton gin as well as the first telephone company. Detailed information may be found on our website: sccemetery.com Schertz-Cibolo Cemetery. NE San Antonio The Cemetery Story The origin of this cemetery stems from the coming together of two waves of immigration, one from Germany and the other from Mexico. They came together to this part of Texas with the idea of fulfilling the same dream; to chart their own course in improving their lives and those of their families. The first immigration wave came from Germany in the mid 1800’s. Brothers Ferdinand and August Dietz initially bought 500 acres out of the Genobeva Malpaz Survey (Texas land grant) which is now mostly developed into the Lone Oak Subdivision. A farmstead is created by clearing the land and farming supports the family’s needs. The Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio railroad line also is established in the 1870’s which connects San Antonio to Austin with local stops in Converse, Schertz, Cibolo and Marion and passes over the northern section of the Dietz’ farm. The railroad stimulates the creation of more farms, and the advent of the cotton gin also makes it easier to process more cotton. Prior to the cotton gin, one bale of cotton was produced per day. After the introduction of the steam powered cotton gin, 100 bales of cotton could be produced in one day. Soon, cotton and corn are the predominant and profitable staples and, if the farms are to expand, a reliable labor force is needed. The second immigration wave begins in the early 1900s, this time from Mexico. With political unrest at home (the Mexican Revolution) and work available in Texas, Mexican families now work hand in hand with the German families and the rural communities of Schertz and Cibolo begin to grow and prosper. Among the first families that come to work on the Dietz’ farm and settle in the community are the Arizpe, Del Toro and Bermea families. Records show these families came from the small town of Rosales, (now Villa Union), Coahuila, Mexico and found comfort and strength in traversing south Texas together. The entry point was through Eagle Pass. The arrival of additional farmworkers and families stimulated local businesses, such as mercantile, banking and jobs supporting the farm including blacksmithing. Oral history tells us that upon the death of a female child of one of the farmworker families, there was not a proper burial place for her. There were no community cemeteries in the area at the time. Most people are buried on private family farmsteads. Mr. Dietz (Ferdinand), took it upon himself to mark off an area of his farm for a burial ground located near the creek and under some majestic oak trees. It is said, this was also the area where the workers would eat lunch and take their breaks from the strenuous work. Because of this gesture, Mr. Dietz was respectfully remembered as “buena gente” or “a good man”. A Dietz’ family land deed from 1908 expressly sets aside this one acre parcel of land for a cemetery with instructions it never be sold. The farmworkers now had a place to bury their loved ones and burials have continued to the present day. The oak trees, which are now approaching 300 years old, continue to symbolically embrace those first farmworker families and provides enduring shade for desendants and visitors to the burial ground today. The orientation of the tombstones in this cemetery is in a traditional east-facing direction conforming with Christian beliefs. The northeast section was initially set aside as the burial site for infants and babies. The earliest legible tombstone is that of Tomas Arizpe who died in 1925 at the age of 15 due to a ruptured appendix . He was the son of Tomas and Juana Arizpe, one of the first arriving Mexican families. There is evidence of earlier burials, however, time has overtaken these grave markers, and their identities are presently unknown. Many of the early tombstones were made of concrete and appear to have been hand-made and hand-etched and some include tile inlay. You will also find some gravesites from the 1920’s decorated with seashells. The use of seashells as a decoration has different meanings around the world. One is that it represents an ancient Christian symbol referring to religious pilgrimages and spiritual protection. In very heavy rains, the Cibolo Creek can overflow its bank. The catastrophic flood of 1998 caused damage to fragile gravemarkers as well as to the grounds of the cemetery. Several of the older, more fragile tombstones were not able to be recovered. All of the original wooden crosses and many ornate grave markers were swept away. The volunteers of the cemetery association came together and were able to repair much of the damage and re-set many of the tombstones. Fundraisers, usually dances, were held in the 1970’s and 80’s which helped to bring in needed funds during those years. Ottomar “Pat” Dietz, grandson to Ferdinand Dietz, deeded the cemetery property over to the Schertz-Cibolo Cemetery Association in 1973 and the Association bought an adjacent two acres from the Dietz family in 1982. Through the decades, this cemetery has been referred by various names including Cibolo Cemetery, Dietz Cemetery, the Spanish or Hispanic Cemetery among other names. However, it is the Schertz-Cibolo Cemetery, a designated Texas Historic Cemetery, and all the original people buried here were farm workers of Mexican descent. The descendants of these early farmworkers have become professionals in their respective fields and businesses as well as becoming officers in all branches of the US military. They have maintained a strong bond to this cemetery with their volunteerism and, through their efforts, have maintained the honor and respect of this ancestral resting place. The most recent Presidents for the cemetery include Natividad “Tivi” Medina (1934-2014), Guadalupe “Lupe” del Toro (1939- 2018) and, presently Miguel Arizpe Vazquez, MD From Miguel A.

The proposed Specific Use Permit for Mixed-Use Self-Storage is consistent with the policies of the adopted Comprehensive Land Plan. The Comprehensive Land Plan designates this subject property as Regional Corridor. This land use type is intended for commercial areas along major thoroughfares that serve populations within the city and the broader region. This includes regional shopping centers, department stores, and office buildings to include limited industrial and logistics uses. All of such uses currently exist in the Regional Corridor land use type. The applicant is proposing a 4-story Mixed-Use Self-Storage building to include a retail/office flex space at the rear of a larger development that includes a commercial retail strip along the IH-35 North access road.

The proposed use is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the applicable zoning district regulations; The current zoning of the site as General Business District (GB) is intended to provide suitable areas for the development of non-residential uses which offer a wide variety of retail and service establishments that are generally oriented toward serving the overall needs of the entire community. These businesses are usually located on appropriately designed and attractively landscaped sites along principal transportation corridors. The proposed Specific Use Permit to allow Mixed-Use Self-Storage allows for retail and offices on the first floor of a multi-level enclosed storage facility located along the IH-35 access road which is consistent with the General Business District (GB).

(B.James/L.Wood/E.Delgado) BACKGROUND In July of 2024 the City of Schertz City Council approved ordinances to annex over 3,107 acres into the City of Schertz based on expiring Delayed Annexation Development Agreements. As part of that process, Comal County Property Identification numbers 79004, 79006, and 79009 owned by Timothy A. Fey and Sharlene E. Fey were scheduled to be annexed and zoned. However, as part of that annexation effort, City Council approved Resolution 24-R-81 which authorized the approval of a Development Agreement with Timothy A. Fey and Sharlene E. Fey. The Fey's own approximately 100.535 acres of property, of which approximately 1 acre is utilized as their homestead and the remainder is used for agricultural purposes. As part of the agreement, the property owner authorized the annexation of the agricultural land, while the residential land was to remain in the ETJ. Based on the agreements terms, on July 16, 2024, in addition to approving resolution 24-R-81, City Council also approved Ordinance 24-A-49 and 24-A-50, which annexed Comal County Property IDs 79006, and 79009, or the agricultural tracts.  However, Comal County Property Identification Number 79004 is only partially utilized for residential. Per the agreement, only 1-acre of the approximately 4.0-acre tract is utilized for residential, while the remaining 3.014-acres is used for agricultural purposes. Based on the conditions of the agreement, due to the 3.014-acres not being used for residential purposes, the City is proceeding forward with annexation and zoning of the agricultural portion of Comal County Property ID 79004. At the October 15, 2024 City Council meeting, Resolution 24-R-131 was approved accepting the voluntary annexation petition and starting the annexation process. The purpose of Ordinance 24-S-159 is to establish a zoning designation for Comal County Parcel ID 79004 while it is going through the annexation process.  On October 22, 2024 two (2) public hearing notices were mailed to the surrounding property owners within a 200-foot notification boundary of the subject parcels. Additionally, the property owners of the parcel included within the zoning boundary were notified per Texas Local Government Code (LGC) Section 211.006. Comal Independent School District was also notified of the proposed zoning. At the time of this staff report one (1) response in favor, zero (0) responses neutral, and zero (0) responses in opposition have been received. A public hearing notice was published in the "San Antonio Express" on November 13, 2024. Additionally, public hearing notice signs were placed along FM 482. A public hearing was held at the November 6, 2024 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.  The City of Schertz Fire, EMS, and Police Departments were notified of the proposed zone change and have provided no objections. GOAL The proposed request is to establish a zoning designation for approximately 3.014 acres, specifically, Agricultural District (AD).  The goal is to zone these subject properties in conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan - Future Land Use Map and the existing land uses on the subject properties and to be consistent with the rest of the properties that were annexed and zoned to Agricultural District (AD) in July of 2024 and the proposed immediately adjacent properties actively going through the zoning process to Agricultural District (AD).   COMMUNITY BENEFIT Promote the safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with the City's vision of future growth. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Per UDC Article 5 Section 21.5.4.D: The Planning and Zoning Commission, in making its recommendation, and the City Council, in considering final action on a zoning change, should consider the following criteria:    1. Whether the proposed zoning change implements the policies of the adopted Comprehensive Land Plan, or any other applicable adopted plans; Ordinance 24-S-159 is proposed to zone approximately 3.014 acres to Agricultural District (AD) based on the subject property's existing land use, the property's location, and the designation on the Future Land Use Map as adopted by Ordinance 24-S-06. Comal County Property Identification Number 79004 is identified as Development Deferment which is typically utilized for large tracts that house heavy industrial. Development Deferment is utilized for sites that should be reconsidered for applicable land uses in future Future Land Use Map updates. Although the subject parcel is identified as Development Deferment, the proposed Agricultural District (AD) is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use designation. The Future Land Use Map within the Comprehensive Land Use Plan is a guiding document for determining appropriate land uses and development types for the future vision of Schertz. However, the existing conditions and existing land uses need to be considered when reviewing zoning applications. The proposed zoning is not based on a proposed development, but strictly due to the annexation of the subject parcel into the City of Schertz. If the subject property were proposed to be developed in the future, the zoning designation will also need to be reviewed in conjunction with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Future Land Use Map. 2. 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. Agricultural District (AD) is intended to be a base zoning district for agricultural and residential land uses. Residences in this district are intended to be on a minimum lot size of 217,800 square feet (five acres). Clustering of up to two homes may be allowed on the same lot subject to setback requirements. This District is suitable for areas where development is premature due to lack of utilities, capacity or service, and for areas that are unsuitable for development because of physical restraints or potential health or safety hazards. The proposed zoning district designation is compatible with the surrounding land uses and existing zoning designations of the surrounding properties. The subject property is owned by the same property owner as the surrounding properties which are going through the zoning process, also to the Agricultural District (AD) due to their annexation in July 2024. The proposed Agricultural District (AD) would allow the agricultural operations to remain in a conforming status. 3. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed change will be consistent and appropriate with existing uses in the immediate area; The subject parcel is currently utilized for agricultural purposes. The proposed zoning designation of Agricultural District (AD) is appropriate in the immediate area of the land to be zoned. Since the proposed zoning designation is based on conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan- Future Land Use Map and with the existing land uses on the subject properties, the subject properties' land use will be in conformance with the proposed zoning designation of Agricultural District (AD). The proposed zoning designation is appropriate in the immediate area of the land to be zoned.  4. Whether other factors are deemed relevant and important in the consideration of the amendment. Per Resolution 24-R-81, the Development Agreement between the City of Schertz and Timothy and Sharelene Fey, approved July 16, 2024, states "City agrees that the Agricultural Tract shall be permanently zoned simultaneously with annexation of the Property". Since the subject 3.014 acres is utilized for agricultural purposes the agreement states that it is subject to annexation. At the October 15, 2024 City Council meeting Resolution 24-R-131 initiated the annexation process. Since the acreage is now going through the annexation process, per the Development Agreement the City has agreed to establish a permanent zoning at the same time. The rest of the Fey's properties that were annexed in July of 2024, specifically Comal County 79006 and Comal County 79009 are actively going through the zoning process, starting with the public hearing held at the October 2, 2024 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. By Ordinance 24-S-159 proposing to zone the 3.014 acres to Agricultural District (AD) if approved and the zoning for 79006 and 79009 if approved, would ensure that all of Timothy and Sharlene Fey's agricultural properties, with the exception of their residential homestead would be annexed into the City of Schertz and zoned Agricultural District (AD).    RECOMMENDATION Staff Recommendation:  Due to the Development Agreement authorized by City Council and the annexation of the proposed 3.014 acres, it is best practice to have a zoning designation established for the subject property during the annexation process.  The proposed zoning designation of Agricultural District (AD) is in conformance with the recently adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan- Future Land Use Map and is consistent with the other properties that were annexed in July of 2024 and zoned Agricultural District (AD). Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 24-S-159 to zone approximately 3.014 acres as Agricultural District (AD). Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation:  The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing at the November 6, 2024 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting. The Commission made a unanimous recommendation of approval to the City Council on the proposed zoning.  Attachments Ordinance 24-S-159 with Attachments  Zoning Exhibit  Public Hearing Notice Map  Public Hearing Responses  City Council Presentation Slides  ORDINANCE NO. 24-S-159 AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP TO ZONE APPROXIMATELY 3.014 ACRES OF LAND TO AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT (AD) KNOWN AS A PORTION OF COMAL COUNTY PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 79004, COMAL COUNTY, TEXAS.

Last update: September 27, 2024 Ordinance 24-S-159 Approximately 3.014-acre zoning to Agricultural District (AD) A portion of Comal County Property ID: 79004 Emily Delgado | Planning Manager Background •In July of 2024 the City of Schertz City Council approved ordinances to annex over 3,107 acres into the City of Schertz based on expiring Delayed Annexation Development Agreements. As part of that process, Comal County Property Identification numbers 79004, 79006, and 79009 owned by Timothy A. Fey and Sharlene E. Fey were scheduled to be annexed and zoned. •However, as part of that annexation effort, City Council approved Resolution 24-R-81 which authorized the approval of a Development Agreement with Timothy A. Fey and Sharlene E. Fey. •The Fey's own approximately 100.535 acres of property, of which approximately 1 acre is utilized as their homestead and the remainder is used for agricultural purposes. •As part of the agreement, the property owner authorized the annexation of the agricultural land, while the residential land was to remain in the ETJ. •Based on the agreement's terms, on July 16, 2024, in addition to approving resolution 24-R-81, City Council also approved Ordinance 24-A-49 and 24-A-50, which annexed Comal County Property IDs 79006, and 79009, or the agricultural tracts. 2 Background •However, Comal County Property Identification Number 79004 is only partially utilized for residential. Per the agreement, only 1-acre of the approximately 4.0-acre tract is utilized for residential, while the remaining 3.014-acres is used for agricultural purposes. •Based on the conditions of the agreement, due to the 3.014 -acres not being used for residential purposes, the City is proceeding forward with annexation and zoning of the agricultural portion of Comal County Property ID 79004. •At the October 15, 2024, City Council meeting, Resolution 24 -R-131 was approved accepting the voluntary annexation petition and starting the annexation process. •The purpose of Ordinance 24-S-159 is to establish a zoning designation for Comal County Parcel ID 79004 while it is going through the annexation process. 3 4 •Comal County Property ID 79004 •4.014 acres •3.014 acres= Agricultural •1 acre = Residential •Utilized for agricultural purposes •Currently not in the City limits and is going through the voluntary annexation process. 5 6 7 •2 notices were sent on 10.22.24 •(1) in favor •(0) Neutral •(0) in Opposition •A public hearing notice will be published in the “San Antonio Express” before City Council •Public Hearing notice sign was placed. •Comal ISD was notified of the proposed zoning. 8 1.Whether the proposed zoning change implements the policies of the adopted Comprehensive Land Plan, or any other applicable adopted plans; •Ordinance 24-S-159 is proposed to zone approximately 3.014 acres to Agricultural District (AD) based on the subject property's existing land use, the property's location, and the designation on the Future Land Use Map as adopted by Ordinance 24-S-06. •Comal County Property Identification Number 79004 is identified as Development Deferment which is typically utilized for large tracts that house heavy industrial. •Development Deferment is utilized for sites that should be reconsidered for applicable land uses in Future Land Use Map updates. •Although the subject parcel is identified as Development Deferment, the proposed Agricultural District (AD) is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use designation. UDC SECTION 21.5.4.D Criteria for Approval 9 1.Whether the proposed zoning change implements the policies of the adopted Comprehensive Land Plan, or any other applicable adopted plans; •The Future Land Use Map within the Comprehensive Land Use Plan is a guiding document for determining appropriate land uses and development types for the future vision of Schertz. •However, the existing conditions and existing land uses need to be considered when reviewing zoning applications. •The proposed zoning is not based on a proposed development, but strictly due to the annexation of the subject parcel into the City of Schertz. If the subject property were proposed to be developed in the future, the zoning designation will also need to be reviewed in conjunction with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Future Land Use Map. UDC SECTION 21.5.4.D Criteria for Approval 10 2. 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. •Agricultural District (AD) is intended to be a base zoning district for agricultural and residential land uses. Residences in this district are intended to be on a minimum lot size of 217,800 square feet (five acres). Clustering of up to two homes may be allowed on the same lot subject to setback requirements. •This District is suitable for areas where development is premature due to lack of utilities, capacity or service, and for areas that are unsuitable for development because of physical restraints or potential health or safety hazards. •The proposed zoning district designation is compatible with the surrounding land uses and existing zoning designations of the surrounding properties. The subject property is owned by the same property owner as the surrounding properties which are currently going through the zoning process due to their annexation in July 2024. The proposed Agricultural District (AD) would allow the agricultural operations to remain in a conforming status. UDC SECTION 21.5.11.D Criteria for Approval 11 •The subject parcel is currently utilized for agricultural purposes. •The proposed zoning designation of Agricultural District (AD) is appropriate in the immediate area of the land to be zoned. •Since the proposed zoning designation is based on conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan- Future Land Use Map and with the existing land uses on the subject properties, the subject properties' land use will be in conformance with the proposed zoning designation of Agricultural District (AD). •The proposed zoning designation is appropriate in the immediate area of the land to be zoned. UDC SECTION 21.5.11.D Criteria for Approval 3. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed change will be consistent and appropriate with existing uses in the immediate area; 12 4. Whether other factors are deemed relevant and important in the consideration of the amendment. •Per Resolution 24-R-81, the Development Agreement between the City of Schertz and Timothy and Sharlene Fey, approved July 16, 2024, states "City agrees that the Agricultural Tract shall be permanently zoned simultaneously with annexation of the Property". Since the subject 3.014 acres is utilized for agricultural purposes the agreement states that it is subject to annexation. •At the October 15, 2024 City Council meeting Resolution 24-R-131 initiated the annexation process. Since the acreage is now going through the annexation process, per the Development Agreement the City has agreed to establish a permanent zoning at the same time. •The rest of the Fey's properties that were annexed in July of 2024, specifically Comal County 79006 and Comal County 79009 are actively going through the zoning process, starting with the public hearing held at the October 2, 2024 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. •By Ordinance 24-S-159 proposing to zone the 3.014 acres to Agricultural District (AD) if approved and the zoning for 79006 and 79009 if approved, would ensure that all of Timothy and Sharlene Fey's agricultural properties, with the exception of their residential homestead would be annexed into the City of Schertz and zoned Agricultural District (AD). UDC SECTION 21.5.11.D Criteria for Approval Recommendation •Due to the Development Agreement authorized by City Council and the annexation of the proposed 3.014 acres, it is best practice to have a zoning designation established for the subject property during the annexation process. •The proposed zoning designation of Agricultural District (AD) is in conformance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan- Future Land Use Map and is consistent with the other properties that were annexed in July of 2024 and zoned Agricultural District (AD). •Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 24-S-159 to establish a zoning designation of Agricultural District (AD) for approximately 3.014 acres. 13 Planning & Zoning Commission Recommendation •The Planning and Zoning Commission met on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, held a public hearing and made a unanimous recommendation of approval with a 4-0 vote. 14 Agenda No. 10.   CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM    City Council Meeting:December 03, 2024 Department:Planning & Community Development Subject: Ordinance 24-S-167 - Conduct a public hearing and consider a request to rezone approximately 100 acres of land from General Business District (GB) and Agricultural District (AD) to Manufacturing Light District (M-1) and Apartment / Multifamily Residential District (R-4) generally located at the intersection of Schwab Road and IH 35, more specifically known as Comal County Property Identification Numbers 79017, 75463, 79018, and 75468, City of Schertz, Comal County, Texas. (B.James/L.Wood/S.Haas) BACKGROUND Per the applicant's letter of intent, the property owner is proposing to rezone approximately 80.8 acres in the rear of the property, abutting the railroad, to be rezoned to Manufacturing Light District (M-1) to allow for a phased industrial development. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to rezone approximately 19.2 acres to Apartment / Multifamily District (R-4) to allow a 350-unit apartment complex. On October 25, 2024, 7 public hearing notices were mailed to the surrounding properties within a 200-foot notification boundary of the subject property. At the time of the staff report, zero (1) response in favor, zero (1) response neutral, and zero (0) responses in opposition have been received. A public hearing notice was published in the "San Antonio Express" on November 13, 2024.  Additionally, one (1) sign was placed on the subject property. The City of Schertz Police, Fire and EMS Departments have indicated they do not have any concerns regarding the proposed rezoning request. Subject Property:   Zoning Land Use Existing Agricultural District (AD) & General Business District (GB) Undeveloped Proposed Manufacturing Light District (M-1) & Apartment / Multifamily District (R-4) Industrial Development and Multifamily Complex Adjacent Properties:    Zoning Land Use North Agricultural District (AD) & Right of Way Undeveloped, Union Pacific Railroad South General Business District (GB) & Right of Way Undeveloped, IH 35 East Pre-Development District (PRE), General Business - 2 District (GB-2) & General Business District (GB) Undeveloped West Agricultural Development District (AD), Manufacturing Light District (M-1), & General Business District (GB) Undeveloped GOAL Per the applicant's letter of intent, the property owner is proposing to rezone approximately 80.8 acres in the rear of the property, abutting the railroad, to be rezoned to Manufacturing Light District (M-1) to allow for a phased industrial development. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to rezone approximately 19.2 acres to Apartment / Multifamily District (R-4) to allow a 350-unit apartment complex. COMMUNITY BENEFIT It is the City’s desire to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with the City’s vision of future growth. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION When evaluating Zone Change applications, staff uses the Criteria for Approval located in UDC Section 21.5.4.D. 1. Whether the proposed zoning change implements the policies of the adopted Comprehensive Land Plan, or any other applicable adopted plans; The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as "Regional Corridor", which is intended to provide commercial and entertainment areas along major thoroughfares. Larger multifamily complexes may also be appropriate for Regional Corridor. For this reason, the proposed zone change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, due to the proximity to IH 35, some warehousing and logistics activity may be appropriate within Regional Corridor as well. 2. Whether the proposed zoning change promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the City. As part of promoting health, safety, and general welfare, zone change requests should align with the Unified Development Code (UDC) and city policy. Manufacturing Light Districts (M-1) are intended to provide a suitable area for the development of light industrial, assembly and manufacturing, warehouse and distribution facilities. These facilities should not emit dust, odor, smoke, gas or fumes, or any other hazardous elements which are detectable beyond the boundary of the property. Due to the traffic generated by such uses, these districts should be located on arterial streets. The proposed Manufacturing Light District (M-1) location, at the rear of the property and co-located near similar uses, meets the intent of the UDC. Additionally, the UDC was recently amended on October 22, 2024, with City Council's approval of Ordinance 24-S-156. This new text to the UDC explicitly states that Apartment / Multifamily Districts (R-4) "shall not be located in areas where they would increase traffic with access through single-family neighborhoods and shall be located adjacent to arterial streets". IH 35 meets and exceeds this criteria of roadway classification. Additionally, Schwab Road is classified as a Principal Arterial, giving the proposed development potential access to an additional major thoroughfare.  3. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed change will be consistent and appropriate with existing uses in the immediate area; The immediate area is either largely undeveloped, residential, or has industrial uses. Across Schwab Road to the west, are two large industrial/distribution centers. Also, across IH 35 on the highway frontage is the Cypress Point subdivision. The proposed location of the Manufacturing Light District (M-1) and the uses permitted within, is generally appropriate at this location.  The proposed Apartment / Multifamily District (R-4) being on the frontage of IH 35 is consistent with other residential uses within the immediate area.  4. Whether other factors are deemed relevant and important in the consideration of the amendment. This area of Schertz has developed slowly due to the developmental challenges of extending infrastructure. Additionally, many properties in this area were only recently annexed into the City of Schertz. A large development such as this would help foster future proposals as developing this site would require significant infrastructure investment. Staff views a development such as this as potentially catalytic and thus benefiting the overall welfare of Schertz.  For these reasons, staff is recommending approval of Ord. 24-S-167. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on November 6, 2024 and made a recommendation of approval with a 4-0 vote.

Whether the proposed zoning change implements the policies of the adopted Comprehensive Land Plan, or any other applicable adopted plans; 5 •The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as "Regional Corridor" •Intended to provide commercial and entertainment areas along major thoroughfares and large multifamily complexes •Also, accommodates some warehousing and logistics activity due to proximity to major corridor (IH35) •For this reason, the proposed zone change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. UDC SECTION 21.5.4.D Criteria for Approval 2. Whether the proposed zoning change promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the City. 6 •Manufacturing Light Districts (M-1) are intended to provide a suitable area for the development of light industrial, assembly and manufacturing, warehouse and distribution facilities. •Should be located on arterial streets - Schwab Road meets this classification. •Co-locating with other M-1 properties helps promote health, safety, and general welfare •The UDC was recently amended on October 22, 2024, with City Council's approval of Ordinance 24-S-156. •This new text to the UDC explicitly states that Apartment / Multifamily Districts (R-4) "shall be located adjacent to arterial streets". •Schwab Road and IH 35 meet or exceed this classification.

(B.James/L.Wood/E.Delgado) BACKGROUND In July of 2024 the City of Schertz City Council approved ordinances to annex over 3,107 acres into the City of Schertz based on expiring Delayed Annexation Development Agreements. As part of that process, Comal County Property Identification numbers 79004, 79006, and 79009 owned by Timothy A. Fey and Sharlene E. Fey were scheduled to be annexed and zoned. However, as part of that annexation effort, City Council approved Resolution 24-R-81 which authorized the approval of a Development Agreement with Timothy A. Fey and Sharlene E. Fey. The Fey's own approximately 100.535 acres of property, of which approximately 1 acre is utilized as their homestead and the remainder is used for agricultural purposes. As part of the agreement, the property owner authorized the annexation of the agricultural land, while the residential land was to remain in the ETJ. Based on the agreements terms, on July 16, 2024, in addition to approving resolution 24-R-81, City Council also approved Ordinance 24-A-49 and 24-A-50, which annexed Comal County Property IDs 79006, and 79009, or the agricultural tracts.  However, Comal County Property Identification Number 79004 is only partially utilized for residential. Per the agreement, only 1-acre of the approximately 4.014-acre tract is utilized for residential, while the remaining 3.014-acres is used for agricultural purposes. Based on the conditions of the agreement, due to the 3.014-acres not being used for residential purposes, the City is proceeding forward with annexation of the agricultural portion of Comal County Property ID 79004. Resolution 24-R-131 was the first step in the annexation process for the approximately 3.014 acres, a portion of Comal County Property ID 79004. City Council approved Resolution 24-R-131 on October 15, 2024, which accepted the petition for voluntary annexation. The adoption of resolution 24-R-131 did not annex the subject property, but allowed City Council to annex the property by ordinance in the future. Ordinance 24-A-158 is the annexation ordinance that would officially annex the approximately 3.014-acres which will be accompanied by a service agreement to meet the requirements of UDC Section 21.4.8 and LGC § 43.0672. The zoning application to accompany the annexation was heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the November 6, 2024 meeting and is also scheduled for a public hearing at the December 3, 2024 City Council meeting, specifically Ordinance 24-S-159. A public hearing notice was published on November 20, 2024, in the "San Antonio Express" for Ordinance 24-A-158. A public hearing notice was mailed to Comal ISD on November 20, 2024.

Parcel Boundaries Schertz Municipal BoundaryLast Update: November 7, 2024 Ordinance 24-A-158 Approximately 3.014-acre Annexation A portion of Comal County Property ID: 79004 Emily Delgado | Planning Manager Background •In July of 2024 the City of Schertz City Council approved ordinances to annex over 3,107 acres into the City of Schertz based on expiring Delayed Annexation Development Agreements. As part of that process, Comal County Property Identification numbers 79004, 79006, and 79009 owned by Timothy A. Fey and Sharlene E. Fey were scheduled to be annexed and zoned. •However, as part of that annexation effort, City Council approved Resolution 24-R-81 which authorized the approval of a Development Agreement with Timothy A. Fey and Sharlene E. Fey. •The Fey's own approximately 100.535 acres of property, of which approximately 1 acre is utilized as their homestead and the remainder is used for agricultural purposes. 2 Background •As part of the agreement, the property owner authorized the annexation of the agricultural land, while the residential land was to remain in the ETJ. •Based on the agreement's terms, on July 16, 2024, in addition to approving resolution 24-R-81, City Council also approved Ordinance 24-A-49 and 24-A-50, which annexed Comal County Property IDs 79006, and 79009, or the agricultural tracts. 3 Background •However, Comal County Property Identification Number 79004 is only partially utilized for residential. Per the agreement, only 1-acre of the approximately 4.0-acre tract is utilized for residential, while the remaining 3.014- acres is used for agricultural purposes. •Based on the conditions of the agreement, due to the 3.014-acres not being used for residential purposes, the City is proceeding forward with annexation and zoning of the agricultural portion of Comal County Property ID 79004. •Resolution 24-R-131 was the first step in the annexation process for the approximately 3.014 acres, a portion of Comal County Property ID 79004. City Council approved Resolution 24-R-131 on October 15, 2024, which accepted the petition for voluntary annexation. The adoption of resolution 24-R-131 did not annex the subject property but allowed City Council to annex the property by ordinance in the future. 4 Background •Ordinance 24-A-158 is the annexation ordinance that would officially annex the approximately 3.014- acres which will be accompanied by a service agreement to meet the requirements of UDC Section 21.4.8 and LGC § 43.0672. •The zoning application to accompany the annexation was heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the November 6, 2024 meeting and is also scheduled for a public hearing at the December 3, 2024 City Council meeting, specifically Ordinance 24-S-159. 5 6 •Comal County Property ID 79004 •4.014 acres •3.014 acres= Agricultural •1 acre = Residential •Utilized for agricultural purposes 7 •A public hearing notice was published on November 20, 2024, in the "San Antonio Express" for Ordinance 24-A- 158. •A public hearing notice was mailed to Comal ISD on November 20, 2024. •Additionally, a public hearing notice was posted on the City of Schertz website •Under Texas Local Government Code Section 43.057, Staff finds that surrounding any area, but not including such area within the City limits through this annexation, is in the public’s interest. 8 •The subject property is also going through the zoning process, Ordinance 24-S-159 and is proposed to be zoned Agricultural District (AD). Recommendation •Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 24-A-158, accepting a petition for voluntary annexation for approximately 3.014-acres, more specifically a portion of Comal County Property Identification Number 79004, Comal County, Texas. 9 Agenda No. 14.   CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM    City Council Meeting:December 03, 2024 Department:City Secretary Subject:Workshop on the National League of Cities Membership (A.Heyward) BACKGROUND National League of Cities website: https://www.nlc.org/   Agenda No. 15.   CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM    City Council Meeting:December 03, 2024 Department:Library Subject:FY24 Summary report of Library activities (S.Gonzalez/M.Uhlhorn) BACKGROUND This is a recap of the Library's activities and statistics for FY 24. Attachments FY24 Library Report  THE YEAR INREVIEW... AKA THE YEAR OFWHEW! FY 2023-2024 P r e p a r e d b y Melissa Uhlhorn, Library Director Summary FY24 is in the books, so to speak, and to borrow from Eric Carle, we were a “Very Busy Library!” The COVID-19 pandemic strongly affected library services in terms of how many people visited the building, took part in programs, and checked out materials. Usage fell to unheard of lows in 2020 and 2021, but we have been steadily rebuilding, and FY24 saw a near total return to usage levels we were seeing in FY19. Circulation and gate counts are still reduced, but approaching normal, while programs and program attendance actually surpassed our previous all-time high. New library card issuance is also at its highest level since FY19. The addition of a new 20/hr Programming Specialist position was a game-changer in terms of growing our programming calendar and one of the drivers for the growth we saw in program attendance. Nichole Badraun joined the staff in late 2023 and began focusing on adding programming for teens and preteens, which was a gap area for us. The extra position allowed the Youth Services Librarian to focus on more weekend, family, and large scale programs, and freed up time for our other Programming Specialist to add a third preschool storytime to our calendar. The Adult Services Librarian was also busy increasing the number of programs available to adults. Through several new community partnerships, the number of adult programs increased by more than 12% The programming changes have been noticeable to our customers. We routinely receive wondering comments about how many programs and how cool they are. All-in-all, the Library was a busy place this past year. Whew, indeed! The Year in Numbers “Smile, it’s Library U Day!” Library Leadership Melissa Uhlhorn, Director April Toman, Senior Librarian-Youth Services Lizzi Bertoia, Senior Librarian-Adult Services Stephanie Barbosa, Senior Librarian-Virtual Services The Library closes to the public 3-4 days per year for all-staff training known Library University. Library U covers a broad range of topics from the foundational tenants of library science, to daily procedures & policy, to staff development & team-building exercises. Library Staffing 10 Fulltime Staff Members 11 Part-time Staff Members 1 Substitute Staff Member 81 Volunteers Staff The Library Advisory Board is tasked with providing citizen input on Library operations & services. Library Advisory Board Members Patti Paulson, Chair Dawn Figueras, Vice Chair Christine Bryan, Secretary Laura Wilson, Treasurer Beverly Clarke, Bookstore Manager Joanne Ward Bookstore Manager, Beverly Clarke, looks over bookstore procedures. The Read Before Book Store sells donated materials and is a wholly volunteer-run operation overseen by the Advisory Board. Thirty-one volunteers working more than 2,500 hours raised $20,548 in FY24. All proceeds go towards library programs and materials. Ruth Tienor Patti Dilworth Letticia Sever Margaret Riley Lee Murphey Amy Bearce Linda Duvall, Alternate In FY24, proceeds were used to fund the supplies and events related to the Library’s summer and winter reading programs and the Extreme Book Nerd annual reading challenge. The Board also funded a Play Touch Table in the children’s area. Schertz Residents 40% Cibolo Residents 29% Bexar Co. Non-Residents 18% Selma Residents 6% Guadalupe Co. Residents 3% Library Users The Library’s service population is currently 126,000+ people and encompasses the Cities of Schertz, Cibolo & Selma, and all of Guadalupe County. Cibolo, Selma, and the County all contribute to the Library through interlocal agreements in exchange for the provision of library service to their residents. The Library also allows Texas residents to apply for a card, free-of-charge. Library interlocal agreements generated $292,640 in FY24. Cardholders numbered 30, 788 at the end of FY24, a 7% increase over the previous fiscal year. Library Cardholder Groups Comal Co. Non-Residents 3% Other Non-Residents 1% Programs are one of the tools we use to provide learning opportunities for all ages. For infants, children and teens, language- and science-rich programs encourage the love of reading and discovery, teach a variety of literacy skills, allow for motor skills practice, and provide a setting for socializing for both children and caregivers. For adults, programs in high-interest areas such as technology, job skills, health and fitness, finances, crafts, literature, and language, can enrich lives, enhance skills, provide opportunities for interacting with others, and build a sense of community. Outreach programming takes library staff out of the building and into the community, providing services to underserved residents through special programs and events. Supporting life-long learning and encouraging curiosity for all ages is foundational to what we do. We develop and maintain a broad assortment of library materials, programs and electronic resources for anyone who wants to pursue knowledge about topics of interest, whether driven by formal educational requirements or the sheer delight of learning something new. Space in which to work is also important to the idea of life-long learning. The Library provides meeting and study spaces for individuals and community groups, as well as indoor and outdoor spaces to for people socialize or simply sit. Programming Technology Reflective of our demographics, Internet and Internet-connected devices are ubiquitous in our community, but that doesn’t mean everyone has access to the technology now required for daily living. Providing public access to technology is a way to eliminate the digital divide between those who can afford technology and those who can’t but still need it to apply for jobs, conduct business, take tests, learn new skills, or even remain independent, as is the case with many seniors in our community. Along with providing access to technology such as computers, Internet, wi-fi, mobile hotspots, printers, and software comes the need to teach others about it. Library staff trouble-shoot device issues, answer questions, teach classes, and provide one-on-one appointments with patrons to help navigate the tech landscape. Materials One of the main ways to support life-long learning, literacy, recreation, and easy access to knowledge is to provide a wide variety of library materials in various formats for users of all ages. The library provides books, magazines, newspapers, eAudiobooks, eBooks, online services, experience kits, puzzles, board games, read-alongs, genealogy materials, and large print materials. The Library’s collection is ever-changing. New collections are developed as formats and interests change, and staff is engaged in a constant workflow of researching, ordering, processing, repairing, moving, and withdrawing materials.
