Presentations Presentation of the Quarterly Financials - 2nd Quarter 2025-26 (S.Gonzalez/J.Walters) Mayor Rodriguez recognized Finance Director James Walters, who presented the second quarter financial report. Mr. Walters reviewed the City's revenue, expenditures, and overall fiscal performance, reporting continued revenue growth, stable expenditures, and positive trends across several revenue sources, including permit fees, utilities, water and sewer, drainage, franchise fees, EMS, and EDC revenues. He also reported that the City's investment portfolio continues to perform well, with investment returns exceeding benchmark rates while maintaining adequate liquidity. During Council discussion, Councilmember Westbrook requested additional information on the City's investment strategy. Mr. Walters explained that the City complies with the Texas Public Funds Investment Act by balancing investment earnings with liquidity through the use of government investment pools and certificates of deposit. Councilmember Macaluso asked how the City determines the amount of cash maintained outside of investment pools, and Mr. Walters explained that operating cash needs are predictable and funds are withdrawn from highly liquid investments as needed. Councilmember Guerrero inquired about the anticipated duration of elevated sales tax revenues. Mr. Walters stated that major construction projects are expected to conclude by the end of the second quarter and, due to the timing of sales tax distributions, higher-than-normal sales tax revenues are expected to continue through August. Presentation of the Residential Trash Survey Results (S.Williams/S.Gonzalez) Mayor Rodriguez recognized Assistant City Manager Sarah Gonzalez, who presented the Residential Trash Survey results. Ms. Gonzalez summarized the City's transition to Frontier Waste Solutions, reviewed survey findings, and reported that 1,909 of 15,104 residential garbage accounts responded, representing a 12.6% response rate. Survey results indicated that while many residents preferred more frequent trash and recycling collection, most were not willing to pay the additional cost to restore those service levels. Overall dissatisfaction was primarily related to previous service frequency changes rather than service execution. Based on the survey results, staff recommended maintaining the current service model while continuing to improve communication regarding available services and working with Frontier Waste Solutions to address operational issues, including the consistent use of cart tags. Councilmembers discussed complaint tracking, the basis for staff's recommendation, and opportunities to improve visibility into service issues. Ms. Gonzalez confirmed that complaints are addressed as they arise and that the City has access to Frontier Waste Solutions' complaint management system. Councilmember Macaluso recommended requesting periodic complaint reports from Frontier Waste Solutions. Councilmember Westbrook commended staff for their efforts, and Ms. Gonzalez recognized the Utility Billing and 311 teams for their contributions. Mayor Rodriguez inquired about the survey conducted prior to the City's transition to Frontier Waste Solutions, and Ms. Gonzalez noted that the previous survey had a significantly lower response rate and that lessons learned were used to improve participation in the current survey.

Announcements and recognitions by the City Manager (S.Williams) City Manager Steve Williams announced awards received by Public Affairs during the Texas Association of Municipal Information Officers.

Frazer is a HGACBuy Purchasing Cooperative program participant, and the ambulances are built here in Texas. Like our previous ambulances, this ambulance will be mounted on a Ford chassis.  This will be a re-mount ambulance for ambulance Unit #284. Due to COVID-19, ambulance manufacturers have lengthened their build times (mainly due to chassis delays) and to have our ambulance built in FY27 we need to have a Purchase Agreement signed to save a chassis for the build. Final purchase will be dependent on final approval of the FY27 budget. GOAL Authorizing the City Manager to sign a Purchase Agreement with Sterling McCall Ford for the intent to purchase one (1) ambulance re-mount for FY27. COMMUNITY BENEFIT The items purchased from Frazer are in support of EMS response to the communities served. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends approving the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign a Purchase Agreement with Sterling McCall Ford for the purchase of one (1) ambulance re-mount for FY27. FISCAL IMPACT This ambulance will be purchased in FY27 contingent on approval of the FY27 budget. The total amount quoted for this ambulance is $223,600.00.  RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 26-R-077.

Historical records indicate that on July 22, 2022, Council approved Ordinance 22-M-29 which added  Section 5.3 - Appointment Procedures for City Council Liaison Positions to the City of Schertz Boards, Commissions, and Committees  to the Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure.  On November 14, 2023, Council approved Ordinance 23-M-28, which amended Article 2 - General Rules and Article 12 - Citizen Rights.  However, the Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure attached to that ordinance did not include Section 5.3, which had been adopted by Ordinance 22-M-29. Likewise, the subsequent amendment approved on February 17, 2026, through Ordinance 26-M-028, adding Article 14 - Council Training and Travel Policy also did not include Section 5.3.  As a result, the current version of the Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure does not contain provisions governing the appointment procedures for City Council Liaison positions.  The revisions recommended by City Council during the June 16, 2026, Workshop Meeting are documented in the workshop meeting minutes included in the agenda packet and have been incorporated into Ordinance 26-M-029 for Council consideration.   GOAL To document the functions, responsibilities, and appointment process for Council Liaisons in a single, centralized policy by consolidating the Council Liaison provisions contained in the Code of Ethics, adopted by Ordinance 18-M-06, with the appointment procedures for City Council Liaison Positions contained in the Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure, adopted by Ordinance 22-M-29, and incorporating the City Council's recommendations from the June 16, 2026, City Council Workshop Meeting.   The consolidated policy establishes a single, comprehensive set of provisions governing Council Liaison appointments, duties, and conduct.   COMMUNITY BENEFIT The City Council Liaison policy governs the relationship between the City Council and the City's Boards, Commissions, and Committees by establishing liaison duties, authority, limitations, conduct, expectations, and communication responsibilities.  By clearly defining these roles and responsibilities, the policy promotes consistent governance and transparency in the City's advisory board and commission processes, providing residents of Schertz with a clearer understanding of how the City Council interacts with the Boards, Commissions, and Committees. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve Ordinance 26-M-029 adopting the Council Liaison Policy, which consolidates the Council Liaison provisions from the Code of Ethics and the Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure into a single policy, incorporates the City Council's recommendations from the June 16, 2026, Workshop Meeting, and establishes the functions, responsibilities, conduct, and appointment procedures for Council Liaisons. RECOMMENDATION Approve Ordinance 26-M-029 adopting the incorporation of Section 5.3 - Appointment Procedures for City Council Liaison Positions  into the Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure. Attachments Council Rules of Conduct and Procedure Ordinance 26-M-029 CITY OF SCHERTZ CITY COUNCIL RULES OF CONDUCT AND PROCEDURE These Rules of Conduct and Procedure (these "Rules") are intended to provide an understandable and workable structure for City Council meetings. These Rules shall serve to aid the conduct of public business at Council meetings, to facilitate communication at Council meetings among Councilmembers and between Councilmembers and City staff and members of the public, and to promote confidence in the citizens that their government is performing its duties with the highest of ethical standards and with a genuine interest in the well-being of the community. These Rules are in all events subject to the City Charter and applicable provisions of State law, including the Texas Open Meetings Act. As a part of these Rules, the Council has established the following Code of Conduct for the Mayor and all Councilmembers: • Address the merits of the issues - no personal attacks. • Focus on representing the interests of all citizens. • Attempt to resolve personal conflicts among Councilmembers internally before speaking publicly. • Assume positive intentions - don't look for hidden agendas. • Observe the City's written Rules of Conduct and Procedure. • When others are speaking, listen with an open mind. • Recognize that inappropriate public disclosure of confidential information can be detrimental to the city and its citizens. • Understand that "majority rules". Once a vote is taken, if you are in the minority agree to disagree and move on. Recognize that a majority view, when expressed in a vote, becomes an expression of City policy. • Coordinate all requests of the city staff through the City Manager. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ARTICLE 1

The Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem or such other member of the Council who is serving as the presiding officer may participate in debate, subject only to such limitations of debate as are the rights and privileges of a Councilmember by reason of such Councilmember acting as the presiding officer.

The Mayor Pro Tem or such other member, other than the Mayor, who is serving as presiding officer may move, second, and debate from the chair, subject only to such limitations of debate as are the rights and privileges of a Councilmember by reason of the member acting as the presiding officer. 8.4 Improper References to be Avoided.

If a Councilmember, while speaking, is interrupted as set forth herein, the Councilmember so interrupted should cease speaking until the question is determined. ARTICLE 9 MOTIONS AND MEETING PROCEDURES 9.1 Motions. A Councilmember, after he/she obtains the floor, or the Mayor may make a motion on the particular subject of discussion, or a procedural point as permitted. A "Second" to the motion, if required, must be made by a Councilmember who did not make the motion within a reasonable but brief time period. The Mayor may not "Second" a motion. A motion or a "Second" merely implies that the maker of the motion and the person who "Seconds" agree that the motion should come before the meeting and not that he/she necessarily favors the motion. Without a "Second", if required, the motion dies. 9.2 Debate. Debate, if pem1itted, must be limited to the merits of the issue under discussion as stated by the presiding officer. 9.3 Motion Procedures. There are twelve (12) types of motions in three (3) categories: Meeting Conduct Motions (4 types), Disposition Motions (7 types), and Main Motions (1 type)1. When any motion is pending, any motion listed above it on the chart below is in order; those below it is out of order. Motion May Interrupt Speaker Second Required Debatable Amendable Resolved by Chair No Vote Affirmative Vote by 4 Councilmembers 2/3 Vote A. Meeting Conduct Motions l. point of privilege yes no no no yes no no 2. point of procedure or order yes no no no yes no no 3. to appeal a ruling no yes yes no no yes no 4. to recess no yes yes yes no yes no 11 B. Disposition Motions 5. to withdraw yes no no no yes no no 6. to postpone no yes yes yes no yes no 7. to refer no yes yes yes no yes no 8. to amend no yes yes yes no yes no 9. to limit or close debate or "call the question" no yes yes yes no no yes 10. to extend debate no yes yes yes no yes no 11. to count the vote no yes no no no•• no no C. Main Motions 1 Sections 9.3 through 9.14 are included by permission of Donald A. Tortorice, The Modem Rules of Order, ABA Publishing, 2nd Edition. ** Mandatory if seconded; no vote required. ••• Unless a greater vote is required by the Charter or State Law 9.4 Point of Privilege. A point of privilege, sometimes called a point of personal privilege, is a communication from a Councilmember to the presiding officer, drawing urgent 12. to reconsider yes yes if original motion was debatable no no yes no 13. to rescind no yes yes yes no no yes 14. to take action no yes yes yes no yes*** no 12 attention to a need for personal accommodation. For example, the point may relate to an inability to see or hear, a matter of comfort, a matter of requested convenience, or an overlooked right of privilege that should have been accorded to the Councilmember(s). In essence, it is a call to the presiding officer for the purpose of assuring a Councilmember's convenient and appropriate participation in the meeting. Because of its urgent nature, a point of privilege can interrupt a speaker. Because it is addressed to the attention of and action by the presiding officer, it cannot be debated or amended, and no vote is required. 9.5 Point of Procedure or Order. A point of procedure, sometimes called a point of order, is a question addressed to the presiding officer, no seconding is required, and either inquiring into the manner of conducting business or raising a question about the propriety of a particular procedure. It is simply an inquiry and is resolved by correction or clarification by the presiding officer. A point of procedure can interrupt a speaker. Because it is addressed to the attention of and action by the presiding officer, a second is not required, and it cannot be debated or amended, and no vote is taken. 9.6 To Appeal a Ruling. Decisions or rulings of the presiding officer are final on questions of procedure, except that any ruling by the presiding officer's ruling can be appealed to a vote of the Council. Whenever a Councilmember questions the appropriateness or essential fairness of the presiding officer, that member can appeal the ruling to a vote of the meeting. If, however, a motion is out of order as a matter of law (not a proper subject of the meeting, improper notice given, etc.), the presiding officer's ruling cannot be appealed. A motion to appeal cannot interrupt a speaker. To prevent frivolous appeals, a second is required. The motion is subject to debate (which should be brief) and, by its nature, is not amendable. To overrule a procedural decision of the presiding officer, an affirmative vote of four (4) Councilmembers is required. 9.7 To Recess. A motion to recess requests a brief interruption of the meeting's business, usually so that an ancillary matter can be addressed, or simply to provide a needed break. Unless stated in the motion, the period of recess is decided by the presiding officer. If necessary, a recess can extend the meeting from one day to another, subject to State law. The motion cannot interrupt a speaker, and a second is required. It is debatable, it can be amended, and an affirmative vote of four (4) Councilmembers is required. 9.8 To Withdraw. Only the maker of the motion can make a motion to withdraw it. It is essentially a communication to the presiding officer that the maker is withdrawing his/her proposal. This is the maker's privilege; thus, it does not require a second. Because the withdrawal motion obviates discussion; it can interrupt a speaker. In addition, because another Councilmember later can make a similar motion, a withdrawal motion is not subject to debate, amendment, or vote. The presiding officer should simply state that the motion is withdrawn, and the meeting should proceed with a new treatment of the issue at hand or a new issue. 9.9 To Postpone or Extend. These motions may arise from a need for further information, a 13 matter of convenience, or for any other reason that will enable the Council to deal with the issue more effectively during the same meeting or at a later time. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the motion itself, a postponed or extension motion can be renewed at a later appropriate time during the meeting or, if properly posted, at a later meeting. This motion cannot interrupt a speaker. It requires a second, it is debatable, and it is amendable (particularly as to postponement, timing), and an affirmative vote of four (4) Councilmembers is required. 9.10 To Refer. A motion to refer is typically used to submit an issue to a committee, usually for study leading to a subsequent recommendation. Because it ordinarily disposes the motion for purposes of the current meeting, a motion to refer is subject to the same rules that apply to a main motion. (See Section 9.14). This motion cannot interrupt a speaker, and a second is required. It is debatable and amendable, and an affirmative vote of four (4) Councilmembers is required. 9.11 To Amend. A motion to amend proposes a change in the wording of a motion then under consideration. When a motion to amend is pending and an amendment to the amendment is proposed, the presiding officer should focus discussion on the latest amendment, resolve that question, then proceed to the first amendment before continuing discussion on the main motion. Votes on amendments are thus in reverse order of the sequence in which they are proposed. A motion to amend cannot interrupt a speaker. It requires a second, and it is debatable and amendable. An affirmative vote of four (4) Councilmembers is required for approval of the amendment. Note that State law may restrict amendments to proposals that are required to be set forth in the notice of the meeting. 9.12 To Limit or Close Debate or "Call the Question". Because the extent to which an issue is discussed rests primarily with discretion of the presiding officer, it is the presiding officer who carries the burden of ensuring that adequate time and discussion are given to differing points of view. A motion to limit or close debate is therefore an overruling of the presiding officer's determination. A motion to close debate is the same as a motion to "call the question". Because this motion affects the most fundamental right of any Councilmember, the right to speak one's views, it is the only procedural motion that requires an affirmative vote of two-thirds of participants voting. 9.13 To Count the Vote. A motion to count the vote should be limited to those circumstances where the convenient hearing of "yeas" and "nays" cannot clearly resolve the issue. It represents the right of a Councilmember to have a vote demonstrated by count. That count can be directed by the presiding officer either as a showing of hands or a standing of voting members while the vote is recorded. Upon completion of the count, the presiding officer announces the result-and final disposition of the issue voted upon. This motion cannot interrupt a speaker. It requires a second; it is neither debatable nor amendable; and, because of the importance of the matter, it should be considered mandatory; thus, no vote is required. 9.14 Motion to Reconsider. Allows a main motion to be brought back before the City Council for consideration. May be made only at the meeting at which the vote to be reconsidered was taken. It may be made by any member of City Council. Any City Council member may second it. It can be made while any other question is pending, even if another member has the floor. It requires a majority vote to pass. A motion may only be reconsidered twice. If the reconsideration is moved while another subject is before the City Council, it cannot 14 interrupt the pending business, but, as soon as the pending business has been disposed of the motion has the preference over all other main motions and general business of the agenda. In such a case the Mayor does not state the question on the reconsideration until the immediately pending business is completed. 9.15 Motion to Rescind. The motion to rescind is a main motion without any privilege, may only be made when there is nothing else before the City Council and must be made at the same meeting at which the subject matter of the motion was considered, and it requires two thirds vote of the City Council members. It cannot be made if a motion to reconsider has been previously made. The motion to rescind can be applied to votes on all main motions with the following exceptions: votes cannot be rescinded after something has been done as a result of that vote that the City Council cannot undo; or, where a resignation has been acted upon, or one has been appointed to, or expelled from, a committee or office, and was present or was officially notified. In the case of expulsion, the only way to reverse the action afterwards is to restore the person to the committee or office, which requires the same preliminary steps and vote as is required for the original appointment. 9.16 To Take Action: Main Motions. Main motions state proposed policy or action on a substantive issue being considered by the Council. As such, the motion is an initial call to take particular action. Although lowest in precedence among all motions, main motions are clearly the most important: through their content, the business decisions of the Council are detem1ined. A main motion can be made only when a prior main motion has been disposed of. It cannot interrupt a speaker; a second is required; it is debatable and amendable; and an affirmative vote of four (4) Councilmembers is required unless a greater vote is prescribed by the Charter or State law. 9.17 Effect of Abstentions. action on required Abstentions; Effect of non-required Abstentions. The following rules shall apply when a Council Member abstains from voting on an item: When the Council Member is Legally Obligated to Abstain When a Council Member is legally obligated to abstain from voting pursuant to Texas Local Government Code Chapter 171, a local ordinance or the City Charter then the Council Member shall leave the dais and exit City Council Chambers until such time as the debate and vote on the item has been concluded. The City Secretary shall record that the Council Member left the room and abstained from the vote in the official minutes and there shall be no other effect. When the Council Member has no Legal Obligation to Abstain from Voting. When a Council Member has no legal obligation to abstain from voting then an abstention shall be recorded in the minutes as an abstention and shall procedurally be treated as a “no” vote. ARTICLE 10 ENFORCEMENT OF DECORUM 10.1 Warning. All persons other than a recognized speaker shall, at the request of the presiding 15 officer, be silent. If, after receiving a warning from the presiding officer, a person persists in disturbing the meeting, the presiding officer may order the person to leave the meeting. The Chief of Police, or such member or members of the Police Department or other persons as the presiding officer may designate, shall be sergeant-at-arms of the Council meetings. If the person so requested does not leave the meeting, the presiding officer may order the sergeant-at-arms to remove such person. 10.2 Removal. Any designated sergeant-at-arms shall carry out all orders and instructions given by the presiding officer for the purpose of maintaining order and decorum at the Council meeting. Upon instruction of the presiding officer, it shall be the duty of the sergeant-at- arms to remove from the meeting any person who intentionally disturbs the proceedings of the Council (or successor provision of law). 10.3 Resisting Removal. Any person who resists removal by the sergeant-at-arms shall be charged with violating Section 42.05 (a) of the Texas Penal Code. 10.4 Motions to Enforce. Any Councilmember may move to require the presiding officer to enforce these Rules and the affirmative vote of a majority of the Councilmembers present and eligible to vote shall require the presiding officer to do so. 10.5 Adjournment. In the event that any meeting is willfully disturbed by a person or groups of persons so as to render the orderly conduct of such meeting unfeasible and when order cannot be restored by the removal of the individuals who are creating the disturbance, the meeting may be adjourned and the remaining business considered at the next regular or a special meeting or, subject to State law, may be recessed to a set time and date. ARTICLE 11 CREATION OF COMMITTEES, BOARDS, AND COMMISSIONS 11.1 Standing Committees. The Council may create committees, boards and commissions to assist in the conduct of the operation of the City government with such duties as the Council may specify not inconsistent with the Charter, the Code of Ordinances, or State law.

The Council may, as the need arises, authorize the appointment of "ad hoc" Council committees. Except where otherwise specifically provided by the Charter, the Mayor and the City Council shall appoint the members of the special committees. Any committee so created shall be given a "mission statement" directing its activities. Any special committee shall cease to exist upon the accomplishment of the special purpose for which it was created or when abolished by a majority vote of the Councilmembers present and entitled to vote.

CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS Ralph Rodriguez, Mayor ATTEST: Sheila Edmondson, TRMC City Secretary Agenda No. 9.   CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM    City Council Meeting:July 7, 2026 Department:Planning & Community Development Subject: Ordinance 26-S-015 - Conduct a public hearing and consider a request to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan - Future Land Use Map from Local Corridor to Industrial Hub on approximately 2.1 acres of land, known as 6615 FM 482, specifically known as Comal County Property Identification Numbers 428461 and 78974, City of Schertz, Comal County, Texas (B.James/L.Wood/D.Marquez) BACKGROUND The applicant is proposing to amend 2.1 acres of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan- Future Land Use Map from Local Corridor to Industrial Hub. This Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment is accompanied by a zone change application, Ordinance 26-S-016. The City of Schertz Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Future Land Use Map and its amendments were adopted in April of 2024, via Ordinance 24-S-06. On May 21, 2026, seven (7) public hearing notices were mailed to the surrounding property owners within two hundred (200) feet of the subject property. At the time of the report, staff received zero (0) responses in favor, zero (0) responses neutral, and one (1) response in opposition to the proposed amendment. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing for the item on June 3, 2026. The Planning and Zoning Commission meeting can be viewed on the City of Schertz YouTube page. A public hearing notice was published in the "San Antonio Express" on June 17, 2026. A sign was placed on the property by the applicant. Subject Property:   Future Land Use Designation Intent of Future Land Use Designation Existing Local Corridor This land use type describes locally oriented commercial and entertainment areas typically situated along medium- to high-volume collector roads with neighborhoods at their perimeter. Local Corridors contain conventional retail centers, small-scale mixed-use, multifamily development, and residential uses that are of a scale and intensity compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Proposed Industrial Hub The Industrial Hub land use category includes all light and heavy industrial activities, including manufacturing warehouses, processing, and distribution centers. Optimizing transportation and supply chain logistics, industrial hubs are typically located near major roads, highways, and railways. Industrial hubs are often buffered from surrounding development by transitional uses, such as flex buildings or R&D, that mitigate potential impacts to other lower-intensity commercial and residential areas. Adjacent Properties:   Future Land Use Designation North Local Corridor South Local Corridor and Regional Corridor East Local Corridor West Local Corridor GOAL The applicant is proposing to amend 2.1 acres of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan - Future Land Use Map from Local Corridor to Industrial Hub. 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 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendments, Staff uses the criteria listed in Unified Development Code (UDC) Section 21.4.6.D. The criteria are listed below. 1. The proposed amendment promotes the health, safety, or general welfare of the City; The Comprehensive Plan has objectives to create a rational and reasonable basis for making decisions about the community. As per UDC Section 21.1.5, the UDC is intended to implement the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Land Plan to promote the general welfare of the community. The Comprehensive Plan is the shared vision of the community that is used by staff to make recommendations on zone changes based on the shared adopted vision. The subject property is located on FM 482, is adjacent to and in proximity to rural residential uses, older commercial buildings, and in proximity to Comal Elementary School. The subject area along FM 482 is designated as Local Corridor in the Future Land Use Map.The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Industrial Hub on approximately 2.1 acres, at the specified location, does not implement the policies and strategies of the Comprehensive Plan for Focus Area 5, is not compatible or appropriate with existing Future Land Use Designations, and thus does not promote the general welfare of the City. 2. An amendment to the text is consistent with the goals, objectives, and other policies of the Comprehensive Land Plan; The proposed amendment is not consistent with the objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Land Plan. The primary objectives of the Comprehensive Land Plan are to accomplish efficient delivery of public services, coordinate public and private investment, minimize potential land use conflicts, manage growth in an orderly manner, make cost-effective public investments, and provide a rational and reasonable basis for making decisions about the community. Additionally, the market snapshot of the Comprehensive Plan listed emerging goals that included incorporating retail with placemaking and destinations to increase significance and aligning development outcomes with the broader goals of the community in context with current market conditions. The proposed Future Land Use Map amendment to Industrial Hub permits zoning districts that allow for light and heavy industrial uses. Within the Industrial Hub Land Use Designation, General Business District-II (GB-2), Manufacturing (Light) District (M-1), and Manufacturing (Heavy) District (M-1) would be compatible. The uses permitted within these zoning districts are not compatible with the existing characteristics of the area or Focus Area 5, adjacent residential uses, and do not minimize land use conflicts. Instead, the proposed Industrial Hub Land Use Designation increases conflicts between land uses by allowing and promoting zoning districts that allow for heavy industrial uses that require appropriate buffering through zoning and transitional land uses. The closest existing Industrial Hub Land Use Designation is located west of FM 2252, approximately 2.5 miles away from the subject location. Additionally, in this area, to the north of the railroad tracks and east of the subject property is designated as Local Corridor. South of the railroad tracks and east of the subject property is designated as Regional Corridor. To the west of the subject property and south of the railroad tracks, the area is designated as Local Corridor. The railroad acts as a dividing line for the Comprehensive Land Use Plan - Future Land Use Map, and for any existing industrial or warehouse development. The intent of the subject property and larger area, is to utilize the major transportation corridors to provide retail and commercial destinations that not only serve local residents, but bring visitors to Schertz. There is no existing Industrial Hub Land Use Designation immediately adjacent or within proximity to the proposed amendment area. With the existing Local Corridor Land Use Designation, the area has the potential to utilize the existing buildings for commercial uses to emphasize the character of the area to create a destination as proposed in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan policies, objectives, and strategies. 3. An amendment to the Future Land Use Map, Master Thoroughfare Plan or any other applicable maps contained in the Comprehensive Land Plan is consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Land Plan that apply to the Map being amended; The subject area is within Focus Area 5 of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan describes the character of Area 5 as having existing schools and historical assets that should be celebrated and incorporated into future developments to enhance the quality of life for existing and future residents of this area. Commercial and mixed land uses were proposed in this area to ensure improved access to necessary services and amenities to improve the livability of the adjacent residential areas. The recommended strategies for Focus Area 5 include ensuring development is appropriate with the floodplain, attracting restaurants, entertainment, and retail uses to support the adjacent residential areas, providing destinations for visitors, creating access to commercial destinations, and creating a mix of residential densities. The proposed Industrial Hub Land Use Designation does not help meet the strategies of Focus Area 5, which is not consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Land Plan. 4. Any proposed amendment addresses circumstances that have been changed since the last time the plan map or text was considered, implements plan policies better than the current plan map or text corrects a mapping error, or addresses a deficiency in the plan; and; The proposed Comprehensive Plan- Future Land Use Map amendment does not address changing circumstances, does not implement the Comprehensive Plan policies better, and does not address errors or deficiencies. 5. Other factors which are deemed relevant and important in the consideration of the amendment. Staff has reviewed the proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment and has ensured it has met all the UDC requirements. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan- Future Land Use Map amendment is being requested, so that the Future Land Use Designation is compatible with the proposed zone change that accompanies the application. The proposed amendment was sent to the City of Schertz Fire, EMS, and Police Departments for review, and they have not provided objections. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing for the item at the June 6, 2026, meeting. There was discussion by the Commissioners on the subject location of the proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment. During the public hearing portion, concerns over the proposed and allowed industrial uses were shared. RECOMMENDATION Staff Recommendation: The proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan - Future Land Use Map Amendment to Industrial Hub on approximately 2.1 acres of land, at the subject location, is not consistent with the objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Land Plan and does not correct mapping errors or deficiencies in the adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Staff recommends denial of Ordinance 26-S-015. Planning and Zoning Commission: The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing for the item at the June 3, 2026, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, and made a recommendation of denial to City Council with a 7-0 vote.

The requested amendment is being made in conjunction with a rezoning request to General Business District (GB-2) from PRE to allow for office warehouse and outdoor storage use. The subject property is situated along FM 482. The property is currently zoned PRE and there is M-1 & GB zoning to the rear of the property. While the Local Corridor designation is intended to support retail and mixed-use development, the surrounding context and traffic characteristics of FM 482 are more conducive to industrial uses. As such, the Industrial Hub designation more accurately reflects both the existing conditions and the planned future development pattern of the area. The proposed amendment will facilitate a cohesive land use pattern by aligning the subject property with adjacent and nearby industrial and commercial developments. The requested Industrial Hub designation is intended to support employment-generating uses, including office warehouse and outdoor storage, which are compatible with the proposed GB-2 zoning district. Thank you for your time and have a great day. Sincerely, Ethan Bracy Ethan Bracy.

M-1 is to south of the property and supports a heavier manufacturing/industrial use including an Amazon Warehouse than the proposed GB-2 zoning for the property. The adjoining neighbor zoned R-A has signed a petition in support of the land plan amendment change. Train tracts directly adjoining the property also create a noise issue for residential use of the property. Public Notification, Neighborhood Association Communication, and Community Involvement Notification/Petition to Neighbors Notices have been sent to neighbors to inform them about proposed rezoning and land plan amendment change.

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 changes, staff uses the criteria listed in UDC Section 21.5.4.D. The criteria are listed below. 1. Whether the proposed zoning change implements the policies of the adopted Comprehensive Land Plan, or any other applicable adopted plans ; The proposed zone change to General Business District -II (GB-2), does not implement the policies of the current Local Corridor Future Land Use Designation. The subject property is identified as Local Corridor Land Use Designation in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Future Land Use Map. The local corridor land use designation is intended for locally oriented commercial and entertainment areas typically along medium to high-volume collector roads with neighborhoods at their perimeter. These areas are characterized by conventional retail centers, small-scale mixed-use, multifamily, and residential uses of a scale and intensity compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhoods. General Business District-II (GB-2) is intended for non-residential and light industrial uses. The uses permitted within the General Business District-II, allow for industrial uses that are not compatible in Local Corridor. This zone change application is accompanied by a Comprehensive Land Use Plan- Future Land Use Map Amendment to Industrial Hub. The proposed Industrial Hub is intended for light and heavy industrial uses, located along major roadways that are buffered from surrounding development by transitional uses that mitigate the impacts to other low-intensity commercial and residential uses. The proposed zone change to General Business District-II (GB-2) does meet the intent of the proposed Industrial Hub Land Use Designation. The future land use map currently has this area designated as Local Corridor and the proposed General Business District-II (GB-2) zoning does not align with the policies and intent of the future land use designation. 2. Whether the proposed zoning change promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the City. The change in traffic from the proposed zone change will not impact the safety of the City. As part of the zone change application, a traffic impact analysis summary was submitted. The Engineering Department reviewed the summary and provided the following conclusion:  "While the proposed zone change would increase traffic on the transportation system, the amount of the increase is relatively minor and can be mitigated. The transportation system would continue to function at an acceptable level." The City of Schertz Strategic Plan lists in its goals and objectives to effectively plan and manage land use. The subject property is adjacent to a rural residence and within proximity to residential developments. Light industrial uses are not appropriate immediately adjacent to residential uses, as it does not promote the effective management of land use. Typically, residential uses and developments should be appropriately buffered from industrial uses by large areas of green space or adjacent commercial uses that act as a transition. The proposed zone change impacts the general welfare of the community, as it does not provide transitional uses or appropriate zoning buffers immediately adjacent to residential uses that promote effective land use management. 3. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed change will be consistent and appropriate with existing uses in the immediate area; The proposed General Business District-II (GB-2) is not consistent or appropriate with existing uses in the immediate area. General Business District -II (GB-2) is intended for non-residential and light industrial uses typically located on appropriately designed and attractively landscaped sites along principal transportation corridors. As per UDC Section 21.5.8.- Permitted Use Table, GB-2 permits for Bottling Works, General Manufacturing/ Industrial Uses, Mixed-Use Self Storage, Office-Warehouse/ Distribution Center, Commercial Stables, Truck Sales/ Heavy Equipment, and Welding/ Machine Shop by right. These uses would not be appropriate immediately adjacent to residential uses. To the west of the subject property, the property is zoned Single-Family Residential/ Agricultural District (R-A), where there is an existing residence going through the platting process. To the east, the property is zoned Pre-Development District (PRE). To the north of FM 482, the subject property is zoned Agricultural District (AD) and is used for agricultural purposes. Within proximity of the proposed zone change and along FM 482 are John Paul II Catholic High School and rural residences. The Union Pacific Railroad acts as a physical barrier and transitional area to the existing industrial uses to the south of the subject property. The proposed zone change is not an immediate extension of the existing industrial. The light industrial uses permitted by right in General Business District-II (GB-2) are not appropriate or consistent with the existing uses in the immediate area. 4. Whether other factors are deemed relevant and important in the consideration of the amendment. The proposed zone change was sent to the City of Schertz Police, Fire, and EMS Departments for review and no objections were provided. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing for the item at the June 3, 2026, meeting. During the hearing of residents, concerns were shared regarding the permitted industrial uses in the zoning district and truck traffic. RECOMMENDATION Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends denial of Ordinance 26-S-016, due to the incompatibility with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan- Future Land Use Map, and uses permitted in the proposed zoning district. Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing for the item at the June 3, 2026, meeting and made a recommendation of denial to City Council with a 7-0 vote.

The PRE zoning designation doesn’t provide for any development, so there really isn’t any peak hour trips associated with the current zoning. The proposed zoning designation of GB-2 would allow a variety of commercial uses on the site. Developed to its maximum potential for this zoning designation, the maximum peak hour trips could be 102. Therefore, the maximum traffic impact (the difference between the two zoning classifications, is 102 peak hour trips. The applicant proposes a use on the site that would result in a far lower amount of peak hour trips. This amount of peak hour trips is just barely above the threshold for requiring a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). The proposed zone change would increase traffic to some degree, but increase can be accommodated by the existing transportation system. The TIA would identify any needed, localized improvements needed to mitigate the effects of the additional traffic. Such improvements could be the installation of a right turn/deceleration lane or left turn lane at the access point for the site.
