7. Ordinance No. 18 -S -02 — Conduct a public hearing and consideration and or action on a
request to rezone approximately 11 acres of land from Single- Family Residential District
PH (R -1) to Neighborhood Services District (NS) located approximately 170 feet southeast of

The following was read into record:
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF- THE CITY OF SCHERTZ,
TEXAS AMENDING THE OFFICIAL'' ZONING MAP BY REZONING
APPROXIMATELY 11 ACRES OF LAND, FROM SINGLE- FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL, (R -1) TO NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES DISTRICT (NS).
Mayor Carpenter recognized Planner I Emily Grobe who stated the applicant is proposing
to rezone approximately 11 acres cif land, from Single-family Residential. District (R -1) to
Neighborhood Services District (NS). The applicant has submitted. a letter of intent which
indicates the proposed development of a ehureh.
The proposed rezone is for approximately 11 acres of land from Single - Family Residential
District (R -1) to Neighborhood Services District (NS) located approximately 1.70 feet
southeast of the, intersection of FM 3009 and Wiederstein Road.
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from Single - Family Residential District
(R -1) to Neighborhood Services District (NS).
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan section which reviews this portion of central Schertz
was adopted in 2002; at that time the subject property was zoned for single - family
residential uses. The 2013 . Schertz Sector Plan amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan focused on the northern and southern areas of Schertz and did not examine central,
where the subject property is located. Since the Schertz Sector Plan amendment did not
01 -09 -2018 Minutes Page - 2 -
review this area, the subject property is identified as Single - Family Residential desired
property. However, the existing zoning and land uses adjacent to the subject property are
Neighborhood Services, and Single - Family Residential which are identified on the Future
Land Use Plan, the Single - Family :Residential land use characteristic. With the subject
property adjacent to FM 3009 and adjacent to a commercial development a zone change to
Neighborhood Services is appropriate.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan describes the Single Family Residential land use
characteristic as a mix of residential uses as well as limited commercial development to
support the daily activities of development. Neighborhood Services District would be
considered a commercial classification that would allow, ff, lower intensity commercial
development. Neighborhood Services District is the zoning classification that has been
assigned to proposed commercial development adjacent to single, family residential in
previous years. Based on land use compatibility with the surrounding single - family
residential and being supported by the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan the request to rezone to Neighborhood Services (NS) is an appropriate zoning
district.
In keeping with the commercially desired land us
Use Plan. Neighborhood Services would allow for
single-
ibed in the Comprehensive Land
,retail and services that would be
ily ,residential used and zoned

tend the already existing zoned
ensive Land Use Plan, the existing land

Mayor Pro- Tem Edwards arrived at 8:27 p.m.
Mayor Carpenter opened the public hearing and the following individuals spoke:
• Mr. Richard Dziewit, 2550 Chasefield Drive, who had concerns about the usage of
non - compliant materials and resulting compliance efforts and dealing with
conflicting rulings between the Board of Adjustments and the new board. He is
confused as to why a second board is needed.
• Mr. Glen Outlaw, 3729 Forsyth Park, who stated he thinks it is a legal issue that
needs to be solved. Since BOA cannot hear appeals, someone else has to do that.
However, board members would need to have an enormous amount of expertise in
the building and fire code issues. Also, the city building official and the fire marshal
01 -09 -2018 Minutes Page - 10 -
are enforcement officials. Your normal board members would most likely not have
the specifically needed knowledge necessary to make solid rulings.
As no one else spoke, Mayor Carpenter closed the public hearing and invited Executive
Director Brian James and Planner I Emily Grobe back to the podium to address the
mentioned concerns. Mr. James stated one of the concerns they are trying to address is
putting the decision making in front of the right board along with the appropriate
background information and staff input. They want to avoid sending cases to a board that
does not have the authority to hear them.
Other Council concerns and comments were:
• BOA members—Do they have any of the

people (i.e., advertisement in Schertz Magazine). He feels we can find the right candidates.
This board will function almost like a jury with support, knowledge and experience from
city staff members.
Councilmember Crawford suggested bringing this item back in a few weeks (i.e., first week
of February) with the changes made that Council talked about this evening and pass it then.
After that we could work on some of the other things we talked about. Mayor Carpenter
concurred stating if one were to make a motion to approve this ordinance and stipulate a
date to come back that is more than a meeting or two or three into the future, he thinks it
would be looked on favorably by Council.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Gutierrez who made a motion to approve
Ordinance No. 17 -5 -50 first reading with the modified changes as specified identifying the
calendar days /business days on the document and then bring it back up for review.

Mayor Carpenter asked if that would be three meetings out, the second meeting in February
as an example? Councilmember Gutierrez said yes. For other changes, the staff could work
with other members of Council and bring that back the second week of February. A second
to the motion was made by Councilmember Crawford.
For clarification the Mayor restated that the motion is to approve Ordinance No. 17 -S -50
with the changes with regard to specifying calendar or business days and then revisiting it
for a second reading during the second week of February. The, vote was unanimous with

She reviewed for Council the proposed staff changes regarding use type, parking
requirements, and proposed updates /comments.
Staff also looked at how the UDC currently stipulates parking which says that parking shall
be provided based on the use which most closely relates to the proposed land use. The
problem is that the most closely related land use may have very different parking needs.

Other cities provide more flexibility for unlisted uses and allow the applicant to provide a
parking ratio they feel is appropriate and allow City staff to approve or deny it. They are
proposing to increase the flexibility for future potential applicants. City staff can also
assign an appropriate parking ratio based on planning and transportation best practices.
The proposed amendment was heard at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on
December 13, 2017. The Planning and Zoning Commission offered a recommendation of
approval with a vote of 5 -1 with Commissioner Evans voting nay based on concerns with
eliminating use types from the parking table. Notice of City Council's Public Hearing was

Mayor Carpenter recognized Planner I Emily Grobe who provided background information
regarding the name change of the Development Services Department to the Planning and
Community Development Department and the position of Director of Development
Services to Director of Planning & Community Development. However, the Unified
Development Code was not updated at that time to alter the current callouts for Director of
Development Services and the Development Services Department Development Manual.
01 -09 -2018 Minutes Page -13 -
The current proposed changes are to change all the call outs within the UDC for the
Director of Development Services to `City Manager or his/her designee.' This will
eliminate the need for future amendments if departments go through another reorganization
or name change. They also recommend altering all call outs for Development Services
Department Development Manual to read as Development Manual. With a recently
adopted UDC Article 1 amendment a definition for Development Manual was
incorporated. Since there is a specific definition for this manual, the proposed amendment
is to correct the naming convention of the manual throughout the UDC.
This information was heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission on December 1.3,
2017 and they offered a unanimous recommendation of approval. Staff recommends
approval to the UDC Article 4,5,8,9,1.2,14 and 16 as presented.,,
Mayor Carpenter opened the public hearing and as there were no speakers closed the public
hearing. There were no questions or comments from Council.

development of multi - family housing.
The subject property is generally located approximately 1,500 feet north of the intersection of FM
1518 and IH -10. A portion of the property is within the floodplain. The subject property is vacant.
Public hearing notice was published in the San Antonio Express News on December 20, 2017.
Eleven (11) public hearing notices were mailed to surrounding property owners within two
hundred (200) feet of the subject property on November 30, 2017, prior to the Planning & Zoning
Commission meeting that took place on December 13, 2017. At the time of this report, Staff has

City Council Memorandum
Page 2
Summary of Recommended Action
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) through the Future Land Use Plan designates the
subject property with the Transition land use characteristic. The objectives for the Transition
land use characteristic area is to create an appropriate land use buffer between the highway
oriented uses and the Estate neighborhoods. The transition would accommodate smaller scale
garden office developments and multi - family residential buildings.
• Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives: The proposed rezoning is generally in
conformance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, the
proposed rezoning to R -4 provides a buffer between the approved Hallies Cove PDD
immediately north of the site and the property south of the subject site that is zoned as
General Business along FM 1518.
• Impact of Infrastructure: The proposed rezoning should have a minimal impact on the
existing water system, additionally should have a minimal impact on the proposed
wastewater system due to CCMA's current plans for a South Schertz Plant that would
provide sewer service for this general vicinity.
• Impact of Public Facilities /Services: The proposed rezoning should have a minimal
impact on public services, such as schools, fire, police, parks and sanitation services,
because it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for this area.
• Compatibility with Existing and Potential Adjacent Land Uses: The subject property is
adjacent to the Hallies Cove subdivision which is a single family residential subdivision
immediately to the north. The majority of other properties adjacent to the subject site are
vacant and undeveloped. It is the opinion of staff that the requested rezone is compatible
with the surrounding properties.
FISCAL IMPACT
None
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted the public hearing on December 13, 2017
where during commissioner discussion a couple of commissioners discussed concerns about
sewer. The commission offered a recommendation of approval by a vote of 4 — 2 with Mr. Evans
and Mr. Greenwald voting nay.
Based on the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the existing land use
conditions, Apartment/Multi- Family Residential is the most appropriate zoning district for this
property. Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning as submitted.

intersection of FM 3009 and Wiederstein Road.
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
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) through the Future Land Use Plan designates the
subject property as Single - Family Residential. The objectives for Single Family Residential is to
encourage a mix of residential uses as well as limited commercial development to support the daily
activities of the development.
• Comprehensive Land Plan Goals and Objectives: The proposed rezoning is generally in
conformance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan Specifically, the
Single - Family Residential designation on the Future Land Use Plan allows for limited
commercial development. The Neighborhood Services zoning district would allow for the
limited commercial uses desired by the Future Land Use Plan and Comprehensive Land
Plan.
• Impact on Infrastructure: The proposed zoning request should have a minimal impact on
the existing and planned water and wastewater systems.
• Impact on Public Facilities /Services: The proposed rezoning should have a minimal impact
on public services, such as schools, fire, police, parks and sanitation services.
• Compatibility with Existing and Potential Adjacent Land Uses: The subject property is
generally surrounded by single family land uses and lower intensity commercial. It is
staff s opinion the requested rezone is compatible with surrounding properties.
City Council Memorandum
Page 3
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from Single - Family Residential District (R -1)
to Neighborhood Services District (NS).
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan section which reviews this portion of central Schertz was
adopted in 2002, at that time the subject property was zoned for single - family residential uses. The
2013 Schertz Sector Plan amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan focused on the
northern and southern areas of Schertz and did not examine central, where the subject property is
located. Since the Schertz Sector Plan amendment did not review this area, the subject property is
identified as Single - Family Residential desired property. However, the existing zoning and land
uses adjacent to the subject property are Neighborhood Services, and Single - Family Residential .
which are identified on the Future Land Use Plan the Single- Family Residential land use
characteristic. With the subject property adjacent to FM 3009 and adjacent to a commercial
development a zone change to Neighborhood Services is appropriate.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan describes the Single Family Residential land use characteristic
as a mix of residential uses as well as limited commercial development to support the daily
activities of development. Neighborhood Services District would be considered a commercial
classification that would allow for lower intensity commercial development. Neighborhood
Services District is the zoning classification that has been assigned to proposed commercial
development adjacent to single family residential in previous years. Based on land use
compatibility with the surrounding single - family residential and being supported by the goals and
objectives of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan the request to rezone to Neighborhood Services
(NS) is an appropriate zoning district.
In keeping with the commercially desired land use described in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan,
Neighborhood Services would allow for limited retail and services that would be more appropriate
and compatible with the single - family residential used and zoned property in the proximity than a
more intensive commercial zoning district such as General Business. Additionally, the proposed
rezone would extend the already existing zoned Neighborhood Services district.
FISCAL IMPACT
None
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted the public hearing on December 13, 2017 and
offered a recommendation of approval by a unanimous vote.
Based on the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the existing land use
conditions, Neighborhood Services is the most appropriate zoning district for this property. Staff
recommends approval of the proposed rezoning as submitted.

Agenda No. 4
CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: January 23, 2018
Department: Planning & Community Development
Ordinance No. 18 -S -03— Consideration
and/or action on an amendment of Part III,
Schertz Code of Ordinances, Unified
Development Code (UDC), Article 1.0,
Section 21.10.4 Schedule of Off - Street
Parking Requirements. (Final Reading)
As stated in the UDC, City Council from time to time, on its own motion, or at the
recommendation of City Staff make amendments to change or modify the text of any portion of
the UDC to establish and maintain sound stable and desirable development. It is generally
considered good practice to periodically review and update the development regulations due to
changing conditions, community goals and State and Federal regulations. Based on changes in
development it has becomes necessary to update the UDC.
Over the last year planning staff has reviewed Section 21.10.4 Off - Street Parking in great detail
to see if the City of Schertz parking requirements were in line with the established target cities,
(including San Marcos, Frisco, Georgetown, and Round Rock) given the degree to which
developments in Schertz seemed to be providing too much or too little parking. Additionally,
planning staff reviewed the Parking Standards manual as established by the American Planning
Association. During this evaluation staff also reviewed the current parking table and the current
permitted use table to look for inconsistences between the two documents.
As a result of this assessment it was determined that an update to UDC Section 21.10.4 was
needed in order to be more consistent with current practices, both in surrounding cities and as
published by the American Planning Association, and to provide more flexibility. This meant
going through each use type listed within the table and deciding to update the use type
description, required parking ratio, or to remove the use type all together.
Staff also looked at how the UDC currently stipulates parking will be provided for new and
unlisted uses. The UDC stipulates that parking for that use shall be provided based on the use
which most closely related to the proposed land use. The problem is that the most closely related
land use may have very different parking needs. Other municipalities provide more flexibility for
unlisted uses and allow the applicant can provide a parking ratio they feel is appropriate and
allow City staff to approve or deny. This is a concept that staff is proposing in order to increase
the flexibility for potential applicants. If the applicant does not proposed a parking ratio, then the
City Council Memorandum
Page 2
proposed UDC update would allow City staff to assign an appropriate parking ration based on
planning and transportation best practices.
This amendment was drafted by Planning Staff.
Public hearing notice was published in the San Antonio Express News on December 20, 2017. .
The proposed UDC Amendments include changes to the following Use Types listed within

RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted the public hearing on December 1.3, 2017. .
At this meeting the Commissioners had comments and questions on how the calculations were
generated, what research had been completed, if current businesses had been reviewed using the

proposed change. Planning staff provided responses to include that the City of Schertz target
cities along with the Parking Standards manual as established by the American Planning
Association were reviewed and researched and that using these two resource groups the proposed
calculations were provided. Staff also explained that current businesses to include some retail
establishments, warehouse, and apartment complexes had been reviewed with our current

BACKGROUND
Agenda No. 5
Planning & Community Development
Ordinance No. 18 -S -04 Consideration
and/or action on an amendment of Part III,
Schertz Code of Ordinances, Unified
Development Code (UDC), update "Director
of Development Services" and to remove
"Development Services Department ". (Final
Reading)
As stated in the UDC, City Council from time to time, on its own motion, or at the
recommendation of City Staff may make amendments to change or modify the text to any
portion of the UDC to establish and maintain sound stable and desirable development. It is
generally considered good practice to periodically review and update the development
regulations due to changing conditions, community goals and State and Federal regulations.
In January 2016, the "Development Services Department" was renamed the "Planning &
Community Development Department ". With this change the "Director of Development
Services" position was retitled "Director of Planning & Community Development" was created.
The Unified Development Code is being updated to change the references to the "Director of
Development Services" and "Development Services Department Development Manual ".
References to the "Director of Development Services" or his/her designee are being change to
"City Manager" or his /her designee.
This amendment was drafted by Planning Staff and reviewed by the City Attorney (Daniel
Santee, Denton Navarro Rocha Bernal & Zech).
Public hearing notice was published in the San Antonio Express News on December 20, 2017. .
• Proposed amendment would alter the callouts within the UDC for "Director of
Development Services" to "City Manager ". This proposed amendment to list "City
Manager of his /her designee" is to eliminate the need for future amendments if
departments go through another reorganization / name change.
• Proposed amendment would alter the callouts within the UDC for "Development
Services Department Development Manual" to "Development Manual ". With a
City Council Memorandum
Page 2
recently adopted UDC Article 1 amendment a definition for "Development Manual"
was incorporated. Since there is a specific definition for this manual the proposed
amendment is to correct the naming convention of the manual throughout the UDC.
City Council approved this on first reading at their meeting of January 9, 2018.
Goal
To amend the UDC to update to correct the callouts of a department that no longer exists under
the title as described.
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.

City Council Meeting: January 23, 2018 .
Department: Parks & Recreation
Subject: Resolution No. 18 -R -07 — A Resolution
authorizing the City Manager to enter into
an Advanced Funding Agreement for a
Transportation Alternatives Set -Aside
Program Project known as Schertz
Pedestrian Routes & Bike Lanes Project. (B.
James, L. Shrum)
The City of Schertz Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department applied for funding
from the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization in January 2017 for the Schertz
Pedestrian Routes and Bike Lanes Project. The project consists of construction of an off -road
trail between Schertz Parkway and Wiederstein Road along the LCRA utility easement;
construction of sidewalks on both sides of Live Oak Road between Schertz Parkway and FM
3009; and the striping of compliant bike lanes along both sides of Savannah Drive from the
Selma city limits to FM 3009, and Woodland Oaks Drive between Schertz Parkway and FM
3009.
The project construction budget was estimated at $1,158,266 and the program allows for 80%
federal participation ($926,613) and 20% local government participation ($231,653.) In June
2017 . the project was approved by the AAMPO to receive funding.
While the AAMPO is the organization tasked with planning and selecting projects for the region,
the actual federal funds are distributed through the Texas Department of Transportation, and thus
local governments must enter into funding agreements with TxDOT to receive funds.
Goal
Enter into an agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation to receive Transportation
Alternatives Set -Aside (TASA) funding to match Local. Government funds to construct
additional trails, sidewalks, and bike lanes in the City of Schertz.
Community Benefit
The project will enhance pedestrian and cyclist mobility and safety in the City of Schertz. The
project will also add trail to our trails network, which is a top priority in our Parks & Recreation
Master Plan.
Summary of Recommended Action
Approval of Resolution 18 -R -07
FISCAL IMPACT
The local government match of $231,653 was set aside in the proceeds from the sales of general
obligation bonds in January 2017. Estimated administrative oversight fees due to TxDOT are
$17,724 and will be paid for out of bond funds set aside for Parks.

TxDOT IS DIGITALLY SIGNING CONTRACTS WITH DOCUSIGN
SINCE OCTOBER 2015, TxDOT HAS USED DOCUSIGN TO DIGITALLY EXECUTE THOUSANDS
OF CONTRACTS WITH PRIVATE VENDORS, STATE AGENCIES, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
What is DocuSign?
DocuSign is a "digital- signature -as -a- service" enterprise software program TxDOT
purchased through the Department of Information Resources in 2015. Digital signatures
are legal under Texas Business and Commerce Code Section 322.007. DocuSign
represents the latest generation in digital signature technology, and is a proven, secure,
simple and efficient way to digitally sign contracts with the State of Texas.
Why is TxDOT using DocuSign?
TxDOT executes tens of thousands of contracts with local governments, private
vendors, and state agency partners each year. Historically, these documents have been
created electronically, printed out in hard copy form, signed in "wet ink," then scanned
back to electronic form and stored in a database. Every day, this paper handling, routing
and scanning process costs the Texas taxpayer hundreds of dollars. The use of
DocuSign for digital signatures eliminates these costs for both TxDOT and its
contracting partners.
Why should my organization sign TxDOT contracts with DocuSign?
DocuSign costs nothing for our contracting partners to use, since TxDOT has the
software license. There is no set -up required; all you need is an email account —which
you already have. Further, DocuSign automatically and securely stores all digitally -
signed documents on its third -party servers. This protects both parties to the transaction
and virtually eliminates the risk of lost or misplaced paper documents. Finally, you no
longer have to wait days or weeks for your fully- executed contracts to return in the mail.
Regardless of your location in Texas, TxDOT can get your contracts executed and
returned to you the same day —often within minutes.
My contracts have to be reviewed by legal, City Council, or another party before
final signature. Can this be done with DocuSign?
Absolutely. TxDOT can use DocuSign to send the contract to your reviewers' email
addresses prior to final signature, or you may simply email the contract to the reviewers
first, and when it is ready for signature, TxDOT will send the contract to your signer via
DocuSign. Either way, TxDOT's DocuSign process will cut days —if not weeks —out of
your contracting timeline, eliminate paper, manpower, printer, toner and courier costs,
and cost your organization nothing.

continue to be preserved regardless of any approved changes that may occur
throughout the life of Project.
