Agenda No. 10.
CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting:
March 4, 2025
Department:
Engineering
Subject:
Ordinance 25-S-010
- Conduct a public hearing and consider an Amendment to the City of Schertz Comprehensive Plan to incorporate updated Water and Wastewater Master Plans (B.James/K.Woodlee)
BACKGROUND
Necessary tools to guide the planning, development, and financing of water and wastewater facilities in the City of Schertz are up-to-date master plans for those utilities. A master plan is built starting with a comprehensive assessment of the current state of a utility - in this case water and wastewater - with respect to its function and capacity. Development of the master plans includes creation of models of existing facilities, evaluation of anticipated growth, and the identification of projects needed to expand and improve the systems and operations thereof. The resulting master plans then act as guides for implementation of the needed improvements.
The City is currently undertaking the process of updating its water and wastewater impact fees and, as part of that process, updated water and wastewater master plans have been developed and are attached along with a report supporting their development.
A public hearing was held by the City of Schertz Planning and Zoning Commission on January 22, 2025. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the updated Water and Wastewater Master Plans to City Council.
GOAL
The goal of this agenda item is to have City Council consider and adopt the updated Water and Wastewater Master Plans which will be supplemental to the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
It is the City's desire to promote safe, orderly, efficient development and ensure compliance with the City's vision of future growth. Identification and execution of water and wastewater projects for expansion and/or improvements needed to support expected growth and continued reliable utility service for customers within the City's service areas is critical to the well-being of the community. The Master Plans are important guides for that effort.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that City Council approve and adopt the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to incorporate the updated Water and Wastewater Master Plans.
