Schertz May Annex 10.7 Acres for Dry Comal Creek Nature Park

By the staff report’s cutoff, the city had received four opposition responses and none supporting or neutral; all four responding properties were outside Schertz city limits.

The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the companion Public Use zoning ordinance 6-1 on Sept. 2. The staff summary says public comments raised flooding, maintenance, traffic, parking-light and floodplain-building concerns, while commissioners discussed the floodplain, maintenance responsibility and the park timeline.

Earlier Comal.News reporting explained the property’s initial zoning baseline and the later Sept. 15 hearing notice. The newly posted council materials add the separate annexation ordinance and the commission’s recorded zoning recommendation.

Council’s Sept. 15 agenda pairs the annexation hearing with a separate vote on Ordinance 26-S-023, which would zone the property Public Use if approved. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at 1400 Schertz Parkway, Building 4. Residents wishing to address Council must complete the speaker register before the meeting and are limited to three minutes.
