On Oct. 7, the Schertz Planning and Zoning Commission recommended City Council approval of a rezoning for about 21 acres northeast of East FM 1518 and Maske Road.

That recommendation concerns case PLZC 2026-0208; it does not itself change the zoning. The commission also recommended two separate requests along FM 1518 at the same meeting.

From the source record

Official meeting recordSchertz Planning and Zoning Commission, Oct. 7
The commission recommended that City Council approve case PLZC 2026-0208, rezoning about 21 acres northeast of East FM 1518 and Maskey Road
Schertz Planning and Zoning Commission recording review ↗
The recording review identifies the recommendation on the approximately 21-acre case.

The approximately 21-acre request would change the tract from R-2 to R-5 zoning. Residents following development northeast of the FM 1518 and Maske Road intersection have two distinct proposals to track there, with different acreage and proposed zoning. The Oct. 7 agenda lists them as separate public hearing cases.

About 21 acres: residential rezoning

Case PLZC 2026-0208 concerns approximately 21 acres about 2,700 feet northeast of East FM 1518 and Maske Road. The agenda describes a proposed change from R-2 to R-5. The retained meeting research says the applicant described roughly 220 one- and two-bedroom rental units; that figure describes the applicant's plan, rather than an approved unit count.

About eight acres: planned development

The commission recommended City Council approval of case PLPDD 2026-0052 for about eight acres northeast of East FM 1518 and Maske Road. The Oct. 7 agenda locates this tract about 2,500 feet northeast of the intersection and describes a change from R-2 to a planned development district. The retained outcome research says the proposal would leave land in an accident potential zone as open space and bar schools there; City Council would still have to decide whether to approve the rezoning.

FM 1518 and Schaefer Road: commercial zoning

The commission recommended City Council approval of case PLZC 2026-0234, a roughly 0.4-acre request at the southeast corner of FM 1518 and Schaefer Road. The agenda identifies the property as 10580 E FM 1518 N and proposes changing its zoning from PRE to GB. The retained outcome research says the applicant plans a bakery and restaurant. The recommendation does not authorize those uses by itself.

What happens next

The next decision belongs to Schertz City Council for each of the three zoning cases. Readers can inspect the separate case listings in the Oct. 7 Planning and Zoning Commission agenda and compare them with a future council agenda or minutes to see whether any proposal advances, changes or fails. The Nov. 4 commission packet carried the Oct. 7 minutes on its consent agenda; the zoning recommendations reported here occurred Oct. 7.
