A. Predevelopment District (PRE). Intended for use for undeveloped land in the City or as a temporary
designation for existing uses for newly annexed property. This zoning is also suitable for areas where
development is premature due to lack of utilities, capacity or service and for areas that are unsuitable for
development because of physical constraints or potential health or safety hazards. No improvements,
construction or structures may be undertaken without obtaining a building permit and no occupancy of such
improvements and structures without obtaining a certificate of occupancy.
B. Single -Family Residential District (R-1). Comprised of single-family detached residential dwellings on a
minimum lot size of 9,600 square feet, together with the schools, churches, and parks necessary to create
basic neighborhood units.
C. Single -Family Residential District (R-2). Comprised of single-family detached residential dwellings with a
minimum lot size of 8,400 square feet, together with the schools, churches, and parks necessary to create
basic neighborhood units.
D. Two -Family Residential District (R-3). Comprised of two (2) single-family attached residential dwellings with a
minimum lot size of 9,000 square feet, together with the schools, churches, and parks necessary to create
basic neighborhood units.
E. Apartment/Multi-Family Residential District (R-4). Intended to provide denser apartment and multi -family
style developments. This district is a suitable transition between single-family districts and commercial uses.
However, Apartment/Multi-Family Residential Districts (R-4) shall not be located in areas where they would
increase traffic with access through single-family neighborhoods and shall be located adjacent to arterial
streets. The maximum density shall be thirty-five (35) units per acre. Twenty percent (20%) of the total
platted area shall be provided as common, usable open space.
F. Middle Density Residential District (R-5). Intended to provide developments that offer a variety of housing
types. This district is a suitable transition between single-family residential and commercial and/or denser
multi -family developments. Comprised of attached or detached residential dwelling units.
1. When tracts in this district are one (1) acre or less, density shall not exceed sixteen (16) units per gross
acre and these tracts will be required to adhere to the single-family site design requirements in Article 9 —
Site Design Standards
2. When tracts exceed one (1) acre, density shall not exceed twelve (12) units per gross acre and these tracts
will be required to adhere to the multi -family site design requirements in Article 9 — Site Design Standards
and provide ten percent (10%) of the total platted area as common, usable open space.
G. Single -Family Residential District (R-6). Comprised of single-family detached residential dwellings that are on
a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet, together with the schools, churches, and parks necessary to create
basic neighborhood units. This district is intended to be developed using the more contemporary building
styles and allowing those dwellings to be constructed on relatively small lots. The maximum size tract that
can be zoned R-6 is 30 acres.
H. Single -Family Residential District (R-7). Comprised of single-family detached residential dwellings on a
minimum lot size of 6,600 square feet, together with the schools, churches, and parks necessary to create

Page 1 of 3
development is premature due to lack of utilities, capacity or service, and for areas that are unsuitable for
development because of physical restraints or potential health or safety hazards.
J. Garden Homes Residential District (GH). Comprised of single-family detached residential dwellings on a
minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet together with the schools, churches, and parks necessary to create
basic neighborhood units. This District allows the main structure to be constructed coincident with one (1) of

maintain a neighborhood character consistent with conventional single-family detached homes.
No area shall be designated GH that contains less than five (5) adjoining lots on a street. Zero lot line homes
shall have no windows on the side of the house, which abuts the property line. Entire frontage of one (1) side of

block on that side of the street. Homes will be uniformly located on the same side of the lot within a street block.
K. Townhome District (TH). Comprised of an attached residential dwelling unit in structures built to
accommodate three (3) to six (6) units per structure. Density shall not exceed twelve (12) units per gross
acre. Townhome units shall be constructed on a single lot, or on adjacent individual lots. Individual
ownership of the townhome units is encouraged. Minimum lot area shall not be less than 2,500 square feet
per dwelling unit. Ten percent (10%) of the total platted area shall be provided as common, usable open
space. This District should not be located in areas where it would increase traffic through single-family
neighborhoods and should be adjacent to arterial streets with sufficient capacity to carry the increased
traffic generated.
L. Manufactured Home Subdivision District (MHS). Intended to recognize that certain areas of the City are
suitable for a mixture of single-family dwelling units and HUD -Code manufactured homes, to provide
adequate space and site diversification for residential purposes designed to accommodate the peculiarities
and design criteria of manufactured homes, along with single-family residences, to promote the most
desirable use of land and direction of building development, to promote stability of development, to protect
the character of the district, to conserve the value of land and buildings, and to protect the City's tax base.
This District provides for the creation and/or subdivision of any lot, tract or parcel of land used for the
placement of manufactured homes. This District is not intended to prohibit or unduly restrict any type of
housing but to ensure compatibility in housing types between manufactured home subdivisions and
surrounding single family residential subdivisions and recognizing their inherent differences.
M. Manufactured Home Park District (MHP). Intended to provide adequate space and site diversification for
residential purposes designed to accommodate the peculiarities and design criteria of manufactured homes,
to promote the most desirable use of land and direction of building development, to promote stability of
development, to protect the character of the district, to conserve the value of land and buildings, and to
protect the City's tax base. This District provides for the creation of tracts of land used for the placement of
multiple manufactured homes on a single lot, tract or parcel of land and utilized for rent or lease. This
District is not intended to prohibit or unduly restrict any type of housing but to ensure compatibility between
manufactured home parks and surrounding properties and recognizing the inherent differences in housing
types between manufactured home parks and other residential districts.

conservation on the North and South Schertz Framework Plans. Residences in this District are intended to be
on a minimum lot size of 217,800 square feet (five acres). Clustering of up to two homes may be allowed on
the same lot subject to setback requirements. This District is suitable for areas where development is
premature due to lack of utilities, capacity or service, and for areas that are unsuitable for development
because of physical restraints or potential health or safety hazards.

single-family and multi -family residential uses, and low intensity commercial uses. Reduced setbacks and
parking requirements are provided as part of this district due to physical restraints.
Main Street Mixed -Use New Development District (MSMU-ND). Intended to provide a base zoning district in
the area along Main Street, specifically for new development of existing properties. This district is intended
