Chapter 21 Community Development of the City of Schertz Code of Ordinances
by adding Article III Enterprise Zones, enabling nomination of qualifying
projects to the State of Texas for Enterprise Project Designation. Final Reading
(M. Browne /A. Perez)
BACKGROUND
This action adds Section III to Chapter 21 of the City of Schertz Code of Ordinances titled Community
Development. Section III defines the City of Schertz intent to participate in the Texas Enterprise Zone

GOAL
To enhance the competitiveness of the City of Schertz to secure jobs and investment through
nomination of qualifying projects to the State Enterprise Zone Program.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Participation in the State Enterprise Zone Program allows the City of Schertz to enhance its incentive
offerings to include nomination of up to six projects per biennium for a State Sales Tax rebate (not local
sales tax). This provides another tool to encourage companies to locate or expand operations and create
new jobs in the community.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve Ordinance No. 22 -M -06 on final to enable participation in the State Enterprise Zone Program
and enhance the competitiveness of Schertz in securing new jobs and investment.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. Successful nomination of a project to receive an enterprise project designation will result in the
State of Texas rebating its portion of sales tax revenue paid by the project. Local sales tax is not rebated
as a result of participation in this program.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 22 -M -06 on final reading amending Chapter 21
Community Development of the City of Schertz Code of Ordinances by adding Article III Enterprise

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council February 8, 2022
Meeting:
Department: Economic Development Corporation
Subject: Resolution No. 22 -R -16 - Conduct a Public hearing and consideration and /or
action adopting a resolution nominating Sysco USA I, Inc. as an Enterprise Zone
Project under the provisions established in State Law and Chapter 21 of the
Code of the City of Schertz. (M. Browne /A. Perez)
BACKGROUND
Sysco is the global leader in selling, marketing and distributing food products to restaurants, healthcare
and educational facilities, lodging establishments and other customers who prepare meals away from
home. Its family of products also includes equipment and supplies for the foodservice and hospitality
industries. With more than 58,000 associates, the company operates 343 distribution facilities
worldwide and serves more than 650,000 customer locations. For fiscal year 2021 that ended July 3,
2021, the company generated sales of more than $51 billion.
In 2012, Sysco established Sysco Central Texas at 1260 Schwab Rd, in Schertz serving much of South
Texas. The current operation currently employs approximately 450 team members with an operation
that has resulted in over $100,000,000 in real and personal property investment per the Comal. County
Appraisal District as of 2021. Sysco is a model corporate partner and has consistently participated in
workforce development events such as Job Shadow Day and other community events. To meet
increasing demand in the South Texas market Sysco is seeking to expand its Schertz facility.
Approval of Resolution 22 -R -16 nominates Sysco USA I, Inc., a wholly -owned subsidiary of Sysco
Corporation, for a State Enterprise project designation through the Texas Enterprise Zone Program.
The Texas Enterprise Zone Program is a state sales and use tax refund program designed to encourage
private investment and job creation in economically distressed areas of the state. Texas communities
must nominate companies in their jurisdiction to receive an Enterprise Zone designation and thus be
eligible to receive state sales and use tax refunds on qualified expenditures. Companies must meet
minimum capital investment thresholds and create and/or retain jobs that employ a certain percentage of
economically disadvantaged individuals, enterprise zone residents, or veterans. A community with less
than 250,000 in population, may have up to six enterprise project nominations in a single biennium.
GOAL
To grow the Schertz economy through Projects that focus on the creation/retention of Primary Jobs.
Projects include partnerships with local industrial Fortune 500 companies to lower cost of expansion,
making Schertz a community of choice for new investment and job creation.
1Tuu ► ff
This action helps to secure additional jobs, investment, and expansion prospects for the community
through a partnership with Sysco Corporation. Securing and maintaining working relationships with
local Fortune 500 companies helps to ensure Schertz is a community of choice for future expansions
and /or follow -on investment and job creation. In addition, entering into partnerships to lower expansion
costs continues to be an essential tool for communities to remain competitive as corporations respond to
the post -COVID market with expansions and consolidation activity.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approval of Resolution 22 -R -16 will use one of six State Enterprise Project nominations to nominate
the Sysco USA I, Inc. expansion to the State of Texas for consideration under the Texas Enterprise
Zone Program. The State of Texas will consider this project against other projects across the State for
an Enterprise Project designation which would make the project eligible to potentially receive a sales tax
refund. If the project is successful it could qualify for a sales tax refund from the State of Texas (not
City of Schertz sales tax) based on jobs, wages, and investment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City of Schertz as this project designation may result in State of Texas
sales tax refund. No local funding is used to fund this incentive.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 22 -R -16 nominating Sysco USA I, Inc. for a State Enterprise
Project designation.

Numbers, 309807, 309837, 309814 City of Schertz, Bexar County, Texas. First
Reading (B. James /L. Wood /M.Harrison)
BACKGROUND
Twenty (20) public hearing notices were mailed to the surrounding property owners within two hundred
(200) feet of the subject property on December 30, 2021, with a public hearing notice published in the
"San Express News ", on January 19, 2022, prior to the City Council public hearing. At the time of this
report staff has received zero (0) in favor, and six (6) opposed to the proposed Comprehensive Land

Applicant: Raymond Tarin, Moy Tarin Ramirez Engineers
GOAL
The goal is to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan by changing approximately 44 acres of land on

Residential land use designation.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
The community benefit is to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and bring about the City's

The applicant is requesting to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan by changing approximately 44
acres on the Future land Use Map from Mixed Use Neighborhood land use designation to
Single - Family Residential land use category.
The Future Land Use Map for the subject area was evaluated as part of the Sector Plan Amendment to
the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, adopted by City Council on July 16, 2013. The subject properties'
area currently designated under the Mixed Use Neighborhood land use designation. Mixed Use
Neighborhood is intended to accommodate the development of walkable neighborhoods within South
Schertz in the vicinity of the intersection of FM 1518 and Lower Seguin Road. It also would allow the
mixture of retail, restaurant, office, civic, and multifamily residential uses. The subject property, not
being in proximately to the intersection to capitalize on the benefits that the Mixed Use
Neighborhood calls for, but instead it is approximately 3,650 feet away which in turn makes it less
attractive for the mixture of retail, restaurant, office, and range of housing types.
The applicant is proposing to change the future land use designation of the subject properties to
Single - Family Residential. This proposed future land use designation is intended to be comprised of
primarily conventional detached dwellings.
FISCAL IMPACT
None
RECOMMENDATION
The 2013 Sector Plan Amendment of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan sought to establish future
development objectives that balance the traditionally rural and agricultural identify that has shaped the
character of Southern Schertz with the opportunity for smart growth as the City continues to develop
south of FM 78. The proposed development that led to the applicant filing this Comprehensive Land
Use Plan amendment involves the potential of providing larger lot residential products consisting
of, 80'x120'. The proposed subdivision does not fit within the Mixed Use Neighborhood land use
designation, which is mainly described as retail, restaurants, office, and multifamily residential uses.
Therefore, the applicant has proceeded forward with this proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Amendment to reclassify the properties under the Single - Family Residential land use designation in
order to develop the property with larger lot residential.
The South Schertz area, based on recently approved Future Land Use Plan amendments (Carmel Ranch
and Saddlebrook both approved in 2020) has begun to see a shift from the rural, large lot, agricultural
areas to more of the traditional subdivision type development with a mixture in lot sizes, as well as open
space /park, amenity centers, and creating walkable pathways for residents. Additionally, last year the
City Council made a motion to approve in the FY2020 -2021 budget to allocate funding for a full
Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment. This would allow staff the opportunity to tailor the future
plans for Schertz to the evolving needs and desires of our residents. The full amendment would enable
City Staff to make modifications to the Future Land Use Map that are the more appropriate for each
area within Schertz. As the city has seen in recent years there has been deviation from the current plan .
to allow for more single- family residential neighborhoods. With the previous and incoming
developments they are working to keep the esthetics of southern Schertz, with creating larger lots, vast
amounts of open space and developing walkable pathways meandering through the neighborhood. The
subject property, like many others in the area, having the land use designation of Mixed Use
Neighborhood, were found to be more appropriate at the time the Schertz Sector Plan Amendment of
the Comprehensive Land Use Plan done in 2013. However, the property being set back from the major
intersection of FM 1518 and Schaefer Road it does not meet the intention of Mixed Use Neighborhood,
which calls for connectivity through the development to allow for retail, restaurant, and a mixture of
housing types. However, the property does appeal to creating larger lot single family residential
products, including open space /park amenities.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on January 1.2, 2022, where they made a
recommendation of approval to the City Council with a vote 7 -0.
Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment from the Mixed- Use
Neighborhood land use designation to the Single - Family Residential land use designation.

Re: Rumpf Tract Subdivision Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request Letter
Dear Ms. Wood:
In connection with the proposed annexation, rezoning, and development of the Rumpf
Tract Subdivision, we are requesting that the City's Future Land Use Plan be amended. The subject
properties, three in total, are +/- 43.188- Acres, and are located at 12198 Schaefer Road and 12250
Schaefer Road (See Exhibit "1 ").
The City of Schertz Sector Plan lists the current Land Use for the subject properties as
'Mixed Use Neighborhood.' We are requesting that these land uses be amended to'Single- Family
Residential' (See Exhibit "3 "). Additionally, the owners of the Subject Property will be submitting
annexation and zoning requests pursuant to their existing Development Agreements with the
City.
The proposed rezoning for the subject properties will be to the 'Planned Development
District' designation. That application will be filed within the following couple of weeks. The
proposed Planned Development District will match the Master Plan for the Rumpf Tract
Subdivision and will be submitted at a later time following approval of the Sector Plan revision.
The existing 'Mixed Use Neighborhood' land use designations for the subject properties
does not allow for the development of a single - family residential subdivision. The proposed
change to 'Single - Family Residential' land use designation falls in line with the City of Schertz
Future Land Plan of designating the tracts as 'Traditional Neighborhood Design, Transit - Oriented

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council February 8, 2022
Meeting:
Department: Planning & Community Development
Subject: Ordinance No. 22 -S -08 - Conduct a public hearing and consideration and /or action
on a request to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan by changing
approximately 15 acres of the Future Land Use Map from Estate Neighborhood

and FM 1518, known as 9120 E FM 1518 N, also known as Bexar County Property
Identification Numbers, 309999 and 309997, City of Schertz, Bexar County,
Texas. First Reading (B.James /L.Wood /M.Harrison)
BACKGROUND
Twenty -four (24) public hearing notices were mailed to the surrounding property owners within two
hundred (200) feet of the subject property on December 30, 2021, with a public hearing notice
published in the "San Antonio Express ", on January 19, 2022, prior to the City Council public hearing.
At the time of this report staff received three (3) responses in favor and eight (8) responses opposed to
the proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment.
Owner of Property ID 309999 & 309997: Karen L. Dahle
Applicant: Moy Tarin Ramirez Engineers, Raymond Tarin
GOAL
The goal is to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan by changing approximately 15 acres of the
Future Land Use Map from the Estate Neighborhood land use designation to the Mixed -Use
Neighborhood land use designation.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
The community benefit is to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and bring about the City's
vision of future growth.
kill►I guy El IkAW93 a 7 0141170y 10/1 01/2117 01 OXWO I [Ilk,
The applicant is requesting to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan by changing approximately 15
acres on land of the Future Land Use Map from the Estate Neighborhood land use designation to the
Mixed Use Neighborhood Center land use designation.
The Future Land Use Map for the subject area was evaluated as part of the Sector Plan Amendment to
the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, adopted by City Council on July 16, 2013. The subject properties'
are currently under the Estate Neighborhood land use designation. The Estate Neighborhood land use
designation is designed to preserve the rural Southern Schertz by maintaining open space, large Lots, and
areas with large wooded lots. The land use designation is intended to have large residential lots (1/2
acre min.), maintain 50% of open space, and to encourage cluster neighborhood development.
The applicant is proposing to change the Future Land Use designation of the subject properties to
Mixed Use Neighborhood Center. This proposed future land use designation is intended to be
comprised of primarily a mixture of retail, restaurant, office, and multifamily residential uses.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
RECOMMENDATION
The 2013 Sector Plan Amendment of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan sought to establish future
development objectives that balance the traditionally rural and agricultural identity that has shaped the
character of South Schertz with the opportunity for smart growth as the City continues to develop south
of FM 78. The proposed development that led to the filing of this Comprehensive Land Use Plan
involves the potential for a multifamily type complex. Therefore, the applicant has moved forward
with this proposed Comprehensive land Use Plan Amendment to reclassify the properties under the
Mixed Use Neighborhood Center future land use designation.
The South Schertz area, based on recently approved Future Land Use Plan amendments (Carmel Ranch
and Saddlebrook both approved in 2020) has begun to see a shift from the rural, large lot, agricultural
areas to more of the traditional subdivision but also a mixture of multifamily to allow open space and
amenities. Additionally, in the FY2020 -2021 budget City Council approved to allocated funding for a
full Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment. This would allow staff the opportunity to tailor the
future plans for Schertz to the evolving needs and desires of our residents. The full amendment would
enable City Staff to make modifications to the Future Land Use Map that are the more appropriate for
each area within Schertz. The subject property, like many others in the area, having the land use
designation of Estate Neighborhood, were found to be more appropriate at the time the Schertz Sector
Plan Amendment of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan was done in 2013. Staff understands that the
intention of the Amendment in 2013 was to maintain the character of Southern Schertz as the
rural /agricultural feel and to have larger lots with the 50% open space. However, due to the evolving
needs that we are experiencing allowing this amendment to the mixed -use neighborhood land use
designation, which is intended to have multifamily, would allow the opportunity for working families to
live in the area and have quick access to Randolph Air Force Base and Interstate 10. At less than 20
acres in size this property is not really large enough to be able to develop using the alternative estate
neighborhood cluster development. Having this option would be beneficial given that the property has
such relatively shallow depth to width.
The upcoming Comprehensive Plan amendment would allow staff to reconcile the gaps between our
future plan, the residents' desires, and current market conditions. However, this proposed
Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment for the subject tracts would allow the property owners the
ability to have their property develop as desired, now, without requiring them to await the full
Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment.
The Planning and Zoning Commission met on January 12, 2022, where they made a recommendation of
approval to the City Council with a vote of 4 -3. Commissioner Odom, Commissioner Platt, and
Commissioner Hector voted nay to the proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment for the
following reasons:
• Current zoning district, Pre - Development District, would not support the intended use of
multi - family
• Changing from rural area to more city like
• Only able to afford living in Schertz at the end of your career
• Infrastructure waits for the development and has to catch up
• Affect the character of FM 1518
Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment from Estate
Neighborhood land use designation to Mixed Use Neighborhood Center land use designation.

Hello Megan,
You recently sent out a notice for the rezoning • property at 9120 E FM 1518. This property is

before I respond to the survey.
1. Will there be drainage studies and runoff retention requirements for the apartment buildings and other

If the property were to receive approval of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment and Zoning
