CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
 
City Council Meeting: December 7, 2021
Department: Planning & Community Development
Subject: Workshop and Presentation providing an overview and summary of the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission Sub Committee (B. James)

BACKGROUND

The City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission held a joint meeting where they discussed current issues for current and proposed development standards for the City of Schertz. In turn the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission wanted to create a smaller group to discuss the pressing concerns that each board had. The subcommittee was created which consisted of 6 members, 3 members from City Council and 3 members from the Planning and Zoning Commission.

They held their first meeting on September 7 and held a total of 7 meetings where they discussed items such as:
  • Lot sizes/density
  • Set backs
  • Straight zoning
  • Planned Development Districts
  • Design standards
  • Tree Mitigation Fee Cap

At the November 17, 2021 Planning and Zoning Commission a workshop and discussion between staff and the Commission occurred in which an overview of the subcommittee meetings, and the outcomes and directives that staff received from the subcommittee were presented. The purpose of this workshop and presentation is to provide a similar presentation to the City Council to discuss the outcomes of the subcommittee and discuss next steps.
