2021	The proposed The Crossvine PDD "6th Amendment": to incorporate additional approximately 2.5 acres into The Crossvine PDD zoned area.

The Crossvine PDD 6th Amendment is proposed to develop the 2.5 acres of land as single-family residential lots consisting of 3 categories, identified below.

• DSFR(1) will have a lot size no less than five thousand five hundred (5,500) square feet with a minimum dimensions of fifty (50) feet wide by one hundred and ten (110) feet deep.  The DSFR (1) will have a maximum dwelling size, of conditioned area, of three thousand five hundred nineteen (3,519) square feet.
• DSFR(2) will have a lot size no less than seven thousand two hundred (7,200) square feet with a minimum dimensions of sixty (60) feet wide by one hundred and twenty (120) feet deep.  The DSFR (2) will have a maximum dwelling size, of conditioned area, of four thousand and fourteen (4,014) square feet.
• DSFR(3) will have a lot size no less than eight thousand four hundred (8,400) square feet with a minimum dimensions of seventy (70) feet wide by one hundred twenty (120) feet deep.  The DSFR (3) will have a maximum dwelling size, of conditioned area, of four thousand five hundred and nine (4,509) square feet.

The DSFR(1), DSFR(2), and DSFR(3) land use categories, are further described on the full table identified on page 4 of The Crossvine PDD Sixth Amendment-Design Standards.
 

The goal of the proposed zone change is to incorporate an additional 2.5 acre of land into The Crossvine Planned Development (PDD) and to apply the terms, conditions, and requirements associated in the existing The Crossvine Module IIIB.  

It is the City's desire to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with the City's vision of future growth. 

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Schertz Sector Plan identifies the subject property, as Estate Neighborhood. Traditionally, Estate Neighborhood is designed to be 0.5 acre tracts, but due to the fact that the property is surrounded by property already zoned as part of The Crossvine PDD, the Estate Neighborhood classification does not seem appropriate at this time. 

• Impact of Infrastructure: The proposed zoning should have minimal impact on the existing and planned water and wastewater systems in the area.
• Impact of Public Facilities/Services: The proposed rezoning request should have minimal impact on public services, such as schools, fire, police, parks, and sanitation services.
• Compatibility with Existing and Potential Adjacent Land Uses: The subject property is surrounded by undeveloped land that is zoned for The Crossvine PDD and FM 1518 right of way.  Staff believes that the rezoning request, essentially to incorporate an approximately 2.5 acres into the existing Crossvine PDD will be compatible with the surrounding properties since they are already a part of The Crossvine PDD project area.

None.

The approximately 2.5 acres of land is currently surrounded by The Crossvine PDD zoned properties, and the proposal to incorporate this additional 2.5 acres of land into The Crossvine Module IIIB shall have minimal impact on the adjacent properties.  The Crossvine Module IIIB is designed to incorporate the land use categories of DSFR (1), DSFR (2), and DSFR (3) as well as retain the design elements that make The Crossvine unique such as accessible green spaces, walking trails, meandering roadways, and intimate cul-de-sacs.  Additionally, this proposed zone change will take a portion of property that would otherwise be surrounded by Crossvine zoned property and incorporate it into the Crossvine project, so there is no longer a remainder property. 
Based on the conformance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the minimal impact on the adjacent properties, and the conformance to The Crossvine design standards, staff recommends approval of the proposed zone change for the approximately 2.5 acres of land. 

The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on November 17, 2021, and offered a recommendation of approval with a vote of 4-0.  Therefore, staff supports the recommendation made by the Planning and Commission and recommends approval of The Crossvine PDD 6th Amendment.
