Schertz council approves rezoning of 20 acres along Lower Seguin Road
Summary
The City of Schertz on June 3 approved Ordinance 25 S 022 to rezone about 20 acres along Lower Seguin Road from predevelopment to a mix of agricultural and R‑2 single‑family residential, a unanimous decision recommended earlier by the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Schertz City Council voted unanimously June 3 to approve Ordinance 25 S 022, rezoning roughly 20 acres located near 12816 and 12746 Lower Seguin Road to allow single‑family residential R‑2 lots and an agricultural transition zone.
The change, presented by Daisy Marquez, planner, responds to a proposal for larger single‑family lots along Lower Seguin Road and was supported by the city planning staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission. "Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 25 S 22," Marquez told council, citing compatibility with the city’s comprehensive land use plan and the surrounding pattern of residential subdivisions.
Marquez told council the property is east of the FM 1518/Lower Seguin intersection, contains rural residences now and abuts Saddle Brook Ranch PDD to the north and Carmel Ranch PDD to the west. The city mailed 40 public notices and reported two responses in favor; no objections were raised by Fire, EMS or Police during review. The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing May 7 and unanimously recommended approval to council.
Paul Landau of MTR Engineers attended for the applicant and said he was available to answer technical questions. With no public speakers at the council hearing, Council Member Brown made the motion to approve, Council Member Watson seconded, and the council recorded seven ayes and no objections.
Next steps for the project include the applicant proceeding through required plats and site‑planning processes before building permits are issued, city staff said. The ordinance approval authorizes the zoning change; subdivision and development approvals will follow the city’s established permitting steps.
