ZC2011 -014 Hold a public hearing, consider and make a recommendation to City Council for a request to rezone approximately 194.56+ acres of land from Predevelopmeni '(PRE) 186.98 acres and General Business (GB) 7.58 acres to Planned Development District (PDD) with associated master development plan. The property is more specifically described as a portion of the John Noyes Survey Number 259, Abstract Number.:253, City of S.chertz; Guadalupe County, Texas generally located 2,800 feet south of the intersection-of the 1H 35 frontage Road and Eckhardt Road. Ms. Wood presented this item by clarifying that:this item is ZC201I�O14. She also stated that eighteen (18) public hearing, notices were mailed. to surrounding property owners on August 2, 2013 with a public 'hearing notice to be published in "The Daily Commercial Recorder" and the "Herald" prior to =the City Council public hearing. Staff received one (1) response in favor and three (3) responses in opposition to the proposed request. The applicant is proposing to rezone approximately 195 acres of land generally located 2,800 feet south of the intersection of the IH 35 frontage Road and Eckhardt Road. Currently, the property is zoned Predevelopment (PRE) and General Business (GB). The proposed density is consistent with the Comprehensive Land flan designation use of Single Family Residential which provides for traditional neighborhood development. The proposed zoning allows for three (3) different minimum lot sizes; 6,000 square feet, 7,200 square feet, and 8,400 square feet as shown on the master general development plan. The master general development plan also provides for a potential Coma] ISD school site and a public park. The proposed PDD also provides some specific development standards. The following summary highlights some of the significant modifications to the requirements of the Unified Development Code (UDC). I . Density of the subject property shall be a maximum of 2.60 dwelling units per acre or 505 single family residential lots. 2. Table one — dimensional requirements - Residential of the PD requires a minimum front yard setback of 25. The minimum rear yard setback is 20' and minimum side yard setback is 10' or with a residential sprinkler system installed a minimum 5' side yard setback will be permitted. Additionally, no encroachments shall be permitted in the 5' side yard Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission August 14, 2013 Page 2 of 1 4 setbacks. 3. The subdivision will provide a 60' collector that bisects the property to service the residential, school and Public Park and provide landscape buffer to create a boulevard feel along the collector. 4. The development of the subject property shall generally conform to the attached Master Development Plan exhibit. The proposed zoning should have a minimal impact on the existing and planned water and wastewater systems. An agreement is executed between the developers of Parkland Subdivision and Cypress Point Subdivision for the capacity of the lift station located at the entrance of Cypress Point. The MPD shows five (5) acres of parkland land that Wi11 be developed and dedicated to the City of Schertz as a public park. In accordance with UDCSec. 21:9.10 Park and Open Space Dedication requirements the Parks and Recreation Advisor . Board met on June 24, 2013 to discuss and make a recommendation on the dedication and development of the parkland. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board offered a recornmcndati.o` to accept the five (5) acres of parkland in The Parklands Subdivision. Staff has been working with the developer over the last several months to create a development that provides a pedestrian friendly environment that :includes a neighborhood public park and school site. The design provides for a curvilinear street pattern that is intended to create more interesting view corridors and discourage speeding. The proposed layout provides connections to adjacent tracts as well.as two points of access to the existing Eckhardt Road. Staff recommends ,approval of .the zoning :request based on. compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The applicant, David Rittenhouse, Denton Communities, and George Weron, Kl~ W Engineers gave a Powerpoint presentation with the following points: • Manager/Developer for the Project - Denton Communities • History of Parklands • Location of The'Parklands • Land Plans & Details • Park Plan & Details • Greenbelt.& Premium Lots • Development .M.ission Statement • Additional Information: Densities & House Price Ranges • Additional Information: PDD Document • Typical Questions & Concerns: Drainage • Typical Questions & Concerns: Traffic • Typical Questions & Concerns: HOA Mr. Richmond opened the public hearing at 6:40 P.M. The following spoke: • Raymond Hernandez, 380 Froboese Lane, spoke on zoning and services. • Gerrard Brown, 702 Sweet Brush, spoke on agricultural land and how this project would Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission August 14, 2013 Page 3 0l' 11 affect his non - development agreement with the City. ® Roland Ortiz, 594 Froboese Lane, spoke on the agricultural exemption on his property. ® Ronald Schott, 1300 Engel Road, spoke on engineer plans on drainage. * Arnulfo Canales, 390 Froboese Lane, spoke on his property and how this will affect his small trucking company. Steve Layton, 12231 Lost Meadows, spoke on the previous night's City Council meeting and the issue of roads and traffic. • Nancy Pinder, 1370 Engel Road, spoke on an area that is a gravel road and would not be access for anyone. ® Reymundo Ramos, 580 Froboese Lane, spoke on a dead end road and the flood zone. Mr. Richmond closed the public hearing at 7:02 P.M. Mr. James stated that if you are not in the City limits or covered by a development agreement, this doesn't change the status of your property. And this does not affect your property regarding your agricultural exemption and anything that you are doing and is allowed, you can continue doing unaffected. The applicant is only zoning the property that they own. Comal ISD has not purchased the property, but the applicant is planning for that, even if Corral. ISD does not decide to purchase the property. The applicant mentioned that there would be 2 points of access at all times. The challenge is the oddly shaped property and the need for applicant access from the existing roads. Mr. James continued stating`that water and sewer is being allowed for by the applicant, which will bring water and sewer closer. to. you. Also, regarding drainage with a PDD, the applicant has submitted a preliminary drainage report, but when they come in to develop with a final plat, they must submit a final drainage report and. still have to meet the drainage requirements. Mr. James stated that Staff will schedule a meeting with the City Floodplain Manager and Engineering along with residents and the Engineer and Developer to review drainage plans. He stated that there is :.no plan to build roads across from anyone's frontage and where there are existing easements, there will still. be access easements. Mi. Richmond stated that the .action before. the Commission tonight is to rezone the property, and the key requirement is that the applicant cannot leave the drainage any different than when he acquired the property. Mr. Werori stated that with regard to traffic and circulation they have met with Mrs. Pinder and buffered her easement. He also stated that utilities will be brought to 1,000 ft. from I -35 to this property. Mr. Weron also stated that they have identified 2 areas of drainage and will utilize earthen improvements. and. a:.detention pond. Mr. Greenwald asked if this will be a mandatory HOA? Mr. Rittenhouse answered yes. Mr. Greenwald also asked about the detention basins being deeded to the HOA. Mr. James stated that it is not responsible to expect an HOA to manage the drainage and Staff will look at this. Discussion followed between Staff and the Commission. Mr. Dahle moved to recommend approval of the agenda item to the City Council. Mr. Glombik seconded the motion. Mr. Braud stated that it was encouraging to see the involvement of the citizens on this item. Vote was 6 -0 -1 with Mr. Evans abstaining. Motion carried. Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission August 14, 2013 Page 4 of 1 I B. ZC2013 -001 Hold a public hearing, consider and make a recommendation to City Council for a request to rezone approximately 137.51± acres of land from Predevelopment (PRE) 4.34 acres, Residential Agriculture (RA) 9.89 acres and Planned Development District (PDD) 123.28 acres to Planned Development District (PDD) with associated master development plan. The property is more specifically described as a portion of the Miles S. Bennett Survey No. 75, Abstract No. 61, County block 5059, and the William Bracken Survey No. 74, Abstract 43, County Block 5056; Bexar County, Texas generally located 2,500 feet east of the intersection of FM 1518 and Lower Seguin Road. Ms. Wood presented the item by stating that the applicaiit is proposing to rezone approximately 140 acres of land generally located east of the intersection at FM 1518 and Lower Seguin Road. Currently, 4.34 acres is zoned Predevelopment (PRE), 9.89 acres is zoned Residential Agriculture (RA) and 123.28 acres is zoned Planned Development District:The PDD was approved by City Council on October 18, 2011 and allows for up to 547 single falrily homes with a minimum lot size of 5,400 square feet. The subject property is currently undeveloped. Fifteen (15) public hearing notices were mailed to surrounding property owners on August 2, 2013 with a public hearing notice to be published in "?7ie Daily Commercial Recorder" and the "Herald" prior to the City Council public hearing. Staff received one (1) response in favor and one (1) response in opposition to the proposed request. The proposed density is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Plan designation use of mixed use neighborhood. Mixed U.se neighborhood provides areas for residential use and open space. The proposed zoning allows areas for lots of three (3) different minimum sizes: 5,400 square feet, 6,000 square feet, and 7,200 square feet as shown on the master general development plan. The proposed PDD also provides for. some specific;development standards. The following summary highlights some of the significant modifications to the requirements of the Unified Development: Code (UDC). 1. Density of the subject property shall be a maximum of 3.25 dwelling units per acre or 447 single family residential lots. 2. Table One — Dimensional Requirements- Residential of the PDD requires a minimum front yard setback of 25' for lots that are 45' in width and a 20' front yard setback for lots 50' and 60' in width. The minimum rear yard setback is 20' and the minimum side yard setback is 5.'. except that the minimum side yard setbacks for corner lots shall be 15'. Additionally, no encroachments shall be permitted in the 5' side yard setbacks. 3. The applicant is providing a six (6) foot tall masonry fence with landscape buffer along Ray Corbett Drive (60' ROW) and Lower Seguin Road (60' ROW) to enhance the overall aesthetic appearance of the area. The UDC does not require a masonry fence adjacent to a 60' ROW. UDC, Sec. 21.9.8 requires screening of roadways for principal (120' ROW) or secondary (86' ROW) arterials roadways only. 4. The development of the subject property shall generally conform to the attached Master Development Plan exhibit. The subject property is currently surrounded by undeveloped land, residential /agriculture and a public school. Staff believes that the rezoning request will be compatible with the surround Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission August 14, 2013 Page 5 of l l properties. The MPD shows five (5) acres of parkland land that will be developed and dedicated to the City of Schertz as a public park. In accordance with UDC, Sec. 21.9.10 Park and Open Space Dedication requirements the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met on June 24., 2013 to discuss and make a recommendation on the dedication and development of the parkland. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board offered a recommendation to accept the five (5) acres of parkland in the Rhine Valley Subdivision. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan with the Schertz Sector .Plan amendment identifies this area as Mixed Use Neighborhood which provides for walkable. "::neighborhoods in the vicinity of the intersection of FM 1518 and Lower Seguin Road. The rezoning request appears to have a minimal impact on the public infrastructure, facilities or services and the plan has incorporated in curve - linear streets, view corridors and parks and open space to include hike and bike trails. Most of the site is zoned under the Pride Rock Ranch PDD which provides a maximum density of 4.48 units per acre and 547 single family'hornes. The subject 'property, which includes an additional 14 acres, allows for a density of 3.25 dwelling units per acme and up to 447 residential homes, 100 less than the current zoning. Staff has been.vvorking the new developer over the last several months to improve the layout and design of the development and believe that that reduction of density, the addition of landscaping and screening, aril the increase in parkland and open space and view corridors has enhanced the development. Staff recommends approval of the zoning request based on compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the improved design and layout ;ofthe subdivision. The applicant, David Rittenhouse, Denton Communities, and George Weron, KFW Engineers gave a Powerpoint presentation with the following points: ® Manager /Developer for the Project — Denton Communities History of Rhine Valley Location of Rhine Valley. >Land Plans & Details ® Park Plan & Details m Greenbelt & Premium Lots Development Mission`Statement ® Additional Information: Old Plan vs. New Plan ® Additional Inforirration: Densities & House Price Ranges ® Additional Information: PDD Document ® Typical Questions & Concerns: Drainage Typical Questions & Concerns: Traffic ® Typical Questions & Concerns: HOA Mr. Richmond opened the public hearing at 8:27 P.M.

Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission August 14, 2013 Page 6 of I 1 + Kathy Menk, 221 Linda Court, spoke on the curve in the road, barriers to other properties and drainage /detention pond. Mr. Richmond closed the public hearing at 9.35 P.M. Mr. James stated that the school district constructed the lift station with certain agreements, and a certain capacity which may need to be increased. Mr. Busch discussed the reconstruction project on Lower Seguin Road which is pant of the new roads bond passed in 2006 and 2008. The project includes widening the road and re- cutting the ditches to carry the flow; the contractor will start this soon with the City coming behind to finish the road way. Ms.. Wood stated that the City requested the masonry walls which will be designed to carry the.drariage through them. Ms. Wood also stated that along the common property line there will be kn.cing, and there is additional dedication for site visibility improvement on the road. Mr. James stated that all retaining walls over 4 feet tall must be engineered. Mr. Weron stated that there should be no retaining walls at this time, and the streets are running toward the topography. He also stated that..the drainage flows north to south and west to east, and they have allowed for.:detention in the common area. Mr. Dahle asked why, if we are using 5 foot setbacks with sprinklers in the previous PDD just approved, are we not requiring sprinklers in this. PDD..:Ms. Wood answered that this PDD is vested that allows 5 foot setbacks without sprinkers. Mr. Dal-Ile asked about the property bordering the Friesenhahn property and fencing. Mr. Weron stated that there would be fencing and landscape berms; the developer may select either wrought iron or cedar fencing. Discussion followed between Staff and the Commission. Mr. Glombik moved to recommend approval of the agenda item to the City Council. Mr. Greenwald seconded the motioi ..Vote was 6 -1 with Mr. Evans voting no. Motion carried. C. Hold a public hearing, consider a.nd.make a recommendation to City Council on an amendment to Part 11I, Schertz Code of Ordinances, Unified Development Code (UDC), Article 1 I Signs & Advertising Devices, Ms. Sanchez presented this item by stating that currently the UDC restricts the size of wall signs based on the. category of street on which the building fronts. The categories are identified in Table 21.11.9 as Areas with Limited Access, Areas ti>>ith Unlimited Access and All Other Streets. The UDC defines Limited Access Streets as being 1H 35 and 1H 10; Unlimited Access Streets being all Farm -to- Market Roads and Schertz Parkway; and All Other Streets being local streets. Focus group meetings with business members of the Schertz Chamber, industry sign contractors and manufacturers to discuss all of Article I 1 were held over the last several months. Comments were received from attendees of those focus group meetings and their requests and suggestions were considered by Staff. A draft of the proposed changes was then presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular meeting of July 12 and their comments and suggestions were noted. Although Staff intends on holding another meeting with the business members to give them another opportunity for additional comment, this agenda item is to consider an amendment to the size of wall signs for only industrial size buildings. Staff has become aware that the current restrictions posed a. problern when applied to large scale Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission August 14, 2613 Page 7 of I I industrial buildings like those that have more recently been constructed in the City. When the current standards for wall signs was written and adopted, these large industrial buildings were generally not present in the City. Additionally, the provision has created confusion for Staff, business owners and sign contractors. While a large industrial building on 1H 35 is allowed a sign that is up to 15% of the facade area or 250 square fee, whichever is less, a large industrial building within an industrial area that fronts on an internal street within an industrial area is restricted to a sign that is only 10% of the facade area or 80 square feet, whichever is less, even though the building is visible from 1H 35. Staff is proposing an amendment to Article 11, Signs and Advertising Devices, Section 21.11.9 — Wall Signs to add an allowance for large industrial businesses in industrial districts to have a sign that is up to 15% of the fagadc area or 250 square feet, whichever is less, regardless of which category of street on which the building is located. The provisions would apply to wall signs located on properties zoned Manufacturing District -Light (M-1),-Manufacturing District - Heavy (M -2); and PDD (Planned Development District) with a base zoning of M -1 or M -2 and with a minimum facade elevation of 300 linear feet or greater may have the primary wall .sign calculated at 15% of the fagade area or 250 square feet, whichever is less, Current UDC regulation: Section 21.11.9 — Wall Signs B. Maximum Area Areas with Limited Access 15% of the faVade area or 250 square feet, whichever is less Areas with Unlimited Access 12% of the fca�!ade area or 125 square feet, rc hichever is less All Other Streets 10% of the facade au ea or SO squm-e feet, whichever is less Proposed UDC Amendment: Add the following no below the table: 1. Wall signs located on properties zoned Manufacturing District -Light (M -1); Manufacturing District - Heavy (M -2); and PDD (Planned Development District) with a base zoning of M -1 or M -2 and with a minimum fa(ade elevation of 300 linear feet or greater may have the primary wall sign calculated at 15% of the facade area or 250 square feet, whichever is less. Caterpillar, Salof (now owned by General Electric), Sysco, and Amazon.com are all located on local streets which fall into the All Other Streets category and despite the large building size would be limited to a primary wall sign that is no more than 80 square feet. Note that this restriction does not actually apply to Amazon.com as it is located within a PDD with different sign regulations. Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission August 14, 2013 Page 8 of I i The current Sysco and Salof signs exceed the current size allowed due to confusion with permitting, but would comply with the 250 square foot restriction being proposed. Those signs seem in scale given the size of the buildings. Staff recommends that Article 11, Signs and Advertising Devices, Section 21.11.9.B. Maximum Area be amended as follows to add: * Wall .signs located on properties zoned Manufacturing District -Light (M -1); ManuActuring District - Heavy (M -2); and PDD (Planned Development District) with a base zoning of M -1 or M-2 and with a minimafm facade elevation of 300 linear feet or greater may have the primary wall sign calculated at 15% of the .facade area or 250 square feet, whichever is less. Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment to Section 21.11.9, Wall Signs, B. Maximum Area. Mr. Richmond opened the public hearing at 9:15 P.M. The following spoke: • Maggie Titterington, 1730 Schertz Parkway, spoke for chamber members present who support the change to wall,.signs. • Kyle Griffiths, 1150 Schwab :Road, represen tin a.Gencral Electric, formerly the Salof business, spoke on their support of this change • Russell Hunter, 1637 Circle Oak Drive, spoke on Caterpillar and signage for the building. Mr. Richmond closed the public hearing at 9:22 PM.::: Mr. Evans asked about the information on facade evaluation and 300 linear feet. Ms. Sanchez stated that linear feet is.the length of linear feet of the facade evaluation for the primary sign per wall. Discussion followed'b.etween Staff and the Commission. Mr. Greenwald moved to recommend approval of the agenda item to the City Council. Mr. Dahle seconded the motion. Vote was 7 -0. Motion carried. D. Hold a public, bearing, consider and make a recommendation to the City Council on an amendment to the Schertz`Code of Ordinances, Part III, Unified Dcvelopment Code, Article 13 Land Disturbing'Activ.ities and Drainage. Mr. Busch presented the item by stating that on April 19, 2013 City Council approved amendments to Article 13 of the Unified Development Code, Land Disturbing Activities and Drainage (Ordinance 13- M -12). These amendments went into effect on August 1, 2013. Since that time Staff has identified a few modifications to Article 13. Some are more cleanup /clarification while others are more substantive.
