Commission backs rezoning of 20 acres on Lower Seguin Road for single‑family lots
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended City Council rezone about 20 acres east of FM 1518 and Lower Seguin Road to single‑family R‑2, a request staff said implements the comprehensive plan and would provide larger lot sizes than many nearby subdivisions.
The Schertz Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 May 7 to recommend that City Council rezone roughly 20 acres along Lower Seguin Road to single‑family residential (R‑2).
Planner Daisy Marquez described the property as three unplatted parcels containing rural residences and noted the comprehensive land use map labels the area a “complete neighborhood.” She said staff sent 40 notices and had received two responses in favor as of the hearing. Marquez said the proposed R‑2 zoning (70 by 120 lots; minimum 8,400 square feet) would provide larger lots than many adjacent planned developments and serve as a transition between smaller subdivisions and agricultural parcels.
Applicant representative Paul Landau of MTR Engineers said the developer proposes “a community that compliments the adjacent subdivisions” and, when asked how many lots the 20 acres might yield, answered, “Maybe 50. Around 50.” He also confirmed planned connections to the Carmel Ranch subdivision and a northeast connection toward Saddle Brook Ranch.
Marquez said SEUC/SCUC ISD was notified and that fire, EMS and police provided no objections. After brief questions, commissioners moved to recommend approval; the motion passed 7‑0. The recommendation will go to City Council for final action.
If Council approves the rezoning, future platting, infrastructure and permitting will determine final lot counts, access and utility extensions.
