Development District (PDD). The property is specifically described as 10.689 acres out of the
Toribio Herrera Survey No. 68, City of Schertz, Guadalupe County, Texas.
Mr. Cox presented the applicant's request to rezone approximately 11 acres of land from
Single - Family Residential District -1 (R -1) to Planned Development District. The property is
generally located 125 feet south of the intersection of FM 3009 and Wiederstein Road.
Twenty -three (23) public hearing notices were mailed to surrounding property owners on June
30, 2016 with a public hearing notice to be published in "The Daily Commercial Recorder"
and the `Herald" prior to the City Council public hearing. At the time of this staff report a
total of 4 responses have been received in favor of the request, 1 neutral to the request and 405
opposed to the request, which includes a petition with 400 unique individual signatures. Of the
23 property owners within the 200 -foot boundary that received the notices, staff received 1
neutral, 3 in favor, and 12 opposed responses to the request. The proposal consists of two
portions, a commercial portion with a proposed base zoning of GB adjacent to FM 3009 with a
modification to eliminate 21 permitted land uses from the development standards. The second
portion is proposed as multi - family with a base zoning district of Apartment/Multi- Family
Residential District (R4) with some amendments to decrease the lot width, maximum
allowable height and restrict the maximum number of units to 96. Mr. Cox mentioned that the
PDD request has design standards which were included in the packet that was provided to the
Commission. The proposed design standards include a landscape buffer, masonry fencing
between the multifamily lot and the neighboring single family residential district to the west of
the project site, and the Bexar County Dark Sky ordinance. Mr. Cox provided an overview of
existing surrounding development.
Mr. Cox commented that it is the opinion of Staff that this area is appropriately zoned as
Single - Family Residential District -1 (R -1) which is supported by the "Single- Family
Residential "; land use characteristic designation from the Comprehensive Land Plan. Staff
recommends denial of this rezoning request.
Donna Rickenbacker, with the development team, presented the proposed mixed use Planned
Development, with a PowerPoint that included exhibits of the proposed site plan and design
features, such as parkland dedication, masonry fencing, landscape buffers, the two base
districts proposed, and elements of the multi- family proposal. Ms. Rickenbacker mentioned
the proposed neighborhood commercial uses fronting FM 3009 and low density mixed - income
rental housing community consisting of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units. The name of the proposed
site would be The Preserve at Wiederstein.
Ms. Rickenbacker's presentation covered the following topics:
• Units and rents, including the tax credit process
• Communication and workshops that the applicant conducted with neighbors
• Changes the applicant made after listening to the community
• Concerns on traffic, property values, and schools
• The property management policies that will apply on criminal background checks,

Mr. Cox gave a presentation this item and mentioned that it was tabled on June 8, 2016.
During the presentation he stated that the request was to amend the Comprehensive Land Plan
by changing approximately 6 acres of land from "Highway Commercial' to "Commercial
Campus" on the Future Land Use Plan. Five (5) public hearing notices were mailed to
surrounding property owners on May 27, 2016. Staff received one in favor and one opposed.
The land is designated on the Comprehensive Land Plan as "Highway Commercial' and is
characterized by a land use mix of mostly large format retail with restaurants and
entertainment uses or mid -rise office buildings. It may also include lodging and related uses.
The applicant is requesting to change the Future Land Use Plan for the subject area to
"Commercial Campus" which is intended to encourage the development of lower intensity
commercial and office uses in locations between major intersections as a buffer between the
interstate highway and adjoining neighborhoods. "Commercial Campus" can also
accommodate light manufacturing or flex office uses set in a campus like environment in
addition to multi- family residential located at mid -block locations and as transitions between
office/ light industrial uses and adjoining single- family residential uses. City Staff's opinion is
that this area is appropriately designated as "Highway Commercial' and thus recommended
denial of the of the Comprehensive Land Plan Amendment request.
Trey Jacobson, a representative of the applicant, „gave a small presentation regarding the
Avanti Canyon proposed site in relation to the agenda item, and explained how they reached
out to residents. Magan Lasch also explained what affordable housing is and is not, described
the types of residents that would live in affordable housing, and discussed the investment in
the community this project would have. Mr. Jacobson also explained in more detail, the
proposed land uses, impacts to traffic, proposed elevations and landscaping for the project and
the pros and cons with the current land use designation and zoning.

opposed, and 255 petition signatures opposed to the rezone for the Apartment /Multi - Family
Residential ' District. The proposed zoning request is not in conformance with the
Comprehensive Land Plan which identifies this area as Highway Commercial, which does not
allow for apartment/multi- family development. It is the opinion of Staff that this area is
appropriately zoned as General Business (GB) which is in conformance with the Highway
Commercial designation in the Comprehensive Land Plan. Staff recommends denial of this

CASE: WA2017 -004: Waiver — On -site Sewage Facility associated with PC2017 -009
SUBJECT: Consider and act upon a request for approval of a waiver regarding on -site sewage
facilities for Lot 1, of the Casa Verde Farms Subdivision, an approximately 10 acre
tract of land located at 7731 FM 482, City of Schertz, Comal County.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Owner: Dieu Crowley
Applicant: Casa Verde Farms, Inc. / Dieu Crowley
ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to develop approximately 10 acres of land into one (1)
commercial lot. The applicant is seeking approval of a waiver to UDC Sec. 21.15.313 wastewater systems in
order to install a privately owned On -Site Sewage Facility (OSSF). The subject property is currently zoned
Manufacturing (Light) (M -1).
GENERAL LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION: The subject property is located at 7731 FM 482 and has a
home and undeveloped land.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS:
The applicant is seeking approval of a waiver to install a privately owned On -Site Sewage Facility (OSSF) on
the lot being proposed. OSSF systems are regulated by Comal County. The site is located within the Green
Valley Special Utility District Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) for water and the City of Schertz
CCN for sewer.
In accordance with UDC, Article 15 Easements and Utilities, Sec. 21.15.3.13, Wastewater System, all lots, tracts
and parcels on which the development is proposed shall be connected to a public wastewater system.
Furthermore, the UDC, Article 12 Subdivisions, Sec. 21.12.2.D. requires that all land subdivided or platted shall
comply in full with the requirements of this UDC.
Based on the requirements of the UDC not connecting to a public wastewater system and installation of OSSF
requires a waiver to be granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission as prescribed in Sec. 21.12.15
Waivers. The UDC authorizes the Planning and Zoning Commission to grant waivers to the provisions in Article
12 when undue hardship will result from requiring strict compliance.
STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION:
The applicant is requesting a waiver to the required connection to a public waste water system to allow a
privately owned on -site sewage facility. The request for an on -site sewer facility is due to the lengthy distance
to the nearest sewer line connection and costs associated with building that line. The closest sewer connection
would be planned manhole for the future collection line serving the Comal ISD Middle School 6. This
connection point is approximately 2,560 feet northeast of the tract near the corner of the intersection of FM 482
and Hubertus Road. The Project Engineer estimates that it will cost $202,000.00 to extend the sewer line from
the proposed future connection location to the subject property. There would also be additional costs
associated with possible easement acquisition.
This waiver request has been reviewed with no objections by Public Works, Engineering and Planning
Departments. Staff recommends approval of the waiver based on the distance to the sewer connection. The
granting of this waiver will not have a negative impact on existing or proposed municipal infrastructure.
Additionally, granting of this waiver will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or be injurious
to other property in the area.

X Approve as submitted
Approve with conditions*

* While the Commission can impose conditions; conditions should only be imposed to meet requirements of the UDC.
COMMISSIONERS CRITERIA FOR CONSIDERATION:
In considering final action on waivers to the UDC, the Commission should consider the criteria within the UDC:
Section 21.12.15 Waivers
A. General
The Planning and Zoning Commission may authorize waivers from the provisions of this Article when, in its
opinion, undue hardship will result from requiring strict compliance. In granting a waiver, the Planning and
Zoning Commission shall prescribe only conditions that it deems necessary or desirable to the public interest.
In making their findings, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall take into account the nature of the
proposed use of the land involved and existing uses of land in the vicinity, the number of persons who will
reside or work in the proposed subdivision, and the probable effect of such waivers upon traffic conditions and
upon the public health, safety, convenience, and welfare in the vicinity. Waivers shall not be granted unless the
Planning and Zoning Commission finds:
1) That the granting of the waiver will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
injurious to other property in the area; and
2) That the granting of the waiver will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of
other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this UDC. Such findings of the
Planning and Zoning Commission, together with the specified facts upon which such findings
are based, shall be incorporated into the official minutes of the Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting at which such waiver is granted. Waivers may be granted only when in
harmony with the general purpose and intent of this UDC so that the public health, safety, and
welfare may be secured and justice done.
B. The Planning and Zoning Commission may establish a time period for execution of each granted waiver.
C. Such findings together with the specific facts on which such findings are based shall be incorporated into the
official minutes of the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting at which such exception is granted.
iN
D. Planning and Zoning Commission shall not authorize a waiver that would constitute a violation of a valid law,
ordinance, code or regulation of the City.
E. Any decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding waivers to the provisions of this Article may
be appealed to the City Council. When considering an appeal, the City Council shall consider the same
standards as the Planning and Zoning Commission as outlined above.

Re: Recommendation for Waiver to Requirement to Extend Public Sanitary Sewer to
Serve Proposed Casa Verde Farms Subdivision
The request for a waiver to the requirement to extend public sanitary sewer to serve
the proposed Casa Verde Farms Subdivision is recommended for approval. The request
for the waiver has been reviewed and found to be reasonable. Engineering supports
the granting of the waiver and notes that it is consistent with waivers granted for
parcels in the vicinity that are even closer to the current termination of the City's
collection system.
Any on -site sewage facility (OSSF) proposed to serve development on the subdivision
property will be reviewed and permitted through Comal County. A building permit will
not be issued without either a Comal County OSSF permit approval or extension of and
planned connection to the public system.
