Planning commission recommends Venato Crossing parcel be rezoned to SF‑3
Summary
After a city‑initiated zoning map amendment and a public hearing, the Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend rezoning a 7.8‑acre portion of Venato Crossing from an MF‑2 underlying designation to SF‑3, noting the applicant supports the change and PUD vesting preserves existing build standards.
The Cibolo Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council rezone a roughly 7.8‑acre portion of the Venato Crossing planned unit development from an underlying multifamily (MF‑2) designation to single‑family residential (SF‑3).
Staff told the commission the request was city‑initiated at council direction and that notices were mailed to 63 owners within 200 feet; a majority of received responses favored single‑family uses and many respondents specifically requested the SF‑3 option. The property is part of a PUD previously approved with deviance allowances (60‑foot lot widths, 7.5‑foot side setbacks and 6,600‑square‑foot lots), and staff said those vested PUD provisions would remain in force.
Ashley Fairmont, an attorney with Killian Griffin & Fairmont representing Hartwood Development, told the commission the owner had been working with staff and supported single‑family zoning consistent with the broader Venato Crossing project. "We are supportive of single family if it's consistent with the remainder of the project," Fairmont said.
Commissioner Maria Fishback moved to recommend SF‑3; Commissioner Jennifer Grieve seconded. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote. The commission's written recommendation will note the vote, summarize public feedback and be forwarded to city council for a final decision.
Next steps: City staff will incorporate the commission's recommendation into the council packet; the council makes the final zoning determination.
