Planning commission approves preliminary plat for Cibolo Farms Unit 4
Summary
The Cibolo City Planning & Zoning Commission voted to approve the preliminary plat for Cibolo Farms Unit 4, a 20.107-acre subdivision in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction proposing 55 residential lots; staff said utilities and stormwater plans have been reviewed and prior land‑study conditions remain in effect.
The Cibolo City Planning & Zoning Commission voted to approve the preliminary plat for Cibolo Farms Unit 4, a 20.107‑acre subdivision south of Green Valley Road that proposes 55 residential lots, three open‑space lots and five drainage/open‑space lots.
City staff and the project representative — identified in the record as Mary Stewart of KCI Technologies — told the commission the tract lies in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and is part of a larger land study approved by council on Sept. 28, 2021. The presentation listed the owner as “Lennar Holmes of Texas Land and Construction LTD.” Staff said a February 2025 traffic impact analysis was reviewed and approved by the city engineer and that utilities would be provided by GVSUD (water and sewer) and GVEC (electric). The stormwater management plan dated May 2025 calls for detention ponds in Units 1 and 4 and anticipates approximately 18 acres of off‑site flow entering the Unit 4 pond.
Staff also noted three prior conditions tied to the amended land study — temporary access to Coy Lane during construction of Units 2, 3 and 4; that temporary access not be abandoned during construction; and that permanent secondary access be made by connection to Saddle Creek Ranch, Unit 9, Coy Lane, with platting of Cibolo Farms Unit 4. Staff referenced the International Fire Code (section D107) and subdivision regulations as the basis for those conditions.
Commissioners asked practical questions about lot widths (most lots are 45 feet), whether lots are vested to earlier platting standards (staff said they are), and whether internal streets would be public or private; staff said internal roadways would be privately maintained by the property owners association. After brief discussion, a commissioner moved to approve the preliminary plat and another commissioner seconded; the commission recorded a majority of ayes and the chair announced the motion carried.
The commission’s approval is a recommendation to move the project forward in the two‑step planning process and does not by itself authorize construction. Next steps include final platting and any required council actions or developer submittals consistent with the conditions discussed at the hearing.
