Planning commission recommends rezoning on Maske Road to allow light-industrial uses
Summary
The Schertz Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend changing roughly 4.15 acres on Maske Road from General Business (GB) to General Business 2 (GB‑2), a move staff says aligns with the comprehensive plan and an affirmative recommendation from JBSA Randolph.
The Schertz Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 on May 7 to recommend that the City Council approve a rezoning of about 4.15 acres on Maske Road from General Business (GB) to General Business 2 (GB‑2).
City planner William Willingham told the commission the site is undeveloped but sits adjacent to GB‑2 parcels used for office, warehouse and distribution. He said the city’s comprehensive land plan designates the parcel as an “industrial hub,” and that “JBSA has affirmatively recommended approval of the request.”
Applicant Jesus Solana described his company’s background in prefabricated steel and concrete buildings and said the proposed zoning would “enable faster and more impactful development of commercial and warehousing uses.” Solana added the project would follow city design standards.
Willingham said notifications went to 11 nearby property owners and one response in favor was received. He told the commission that Schertz police, fire and EMS had been notified and provided no objections. He also noted the property lies within APZ‑2 (an accident potential zone), which requires JBSA’s affirmative recommendation for certain changes.
After questions about access and whether nearby common driveways were part of the site, the commission took a motion to recommend approval and recorded a 7‑0 vote. The recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final action.
Staff and the applicant emphasized that the rezoning changes permitted uses (for example, office‑warehouse and certain repair services) rather than immediate construction approvals; site plans, permits and any required development standards will be reviewed separately if the council approves the zoning change.
