Schertz Planning and Zoning Meeting - August 5, 2026

The City of Schertz Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on August 5, 2026, focusing on several land use and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included a public hearing and recommendation for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) to allow major automobile repairs and services on a 1.19-acre property along FM 3009, with conditions restricting certain uses such as collision repair and vehicle storage. The commission approved the recommendation unanimously. Another significant agenda item was the proposed amendment to the Unified Development Code (UDC) to define and regulate data centers, allowing them only in the M-2 (manufacturing heavy) zoning district with an SUP. The commission debated the definition of data centers, ultimately recommending approval with modifications to broaden the definition and restrict data centers to M-2 zoning with SUPs, to allow case-by-case review and public input. Additionally, the commission approved a waiver request related to on-site sewer facilities for a preliminary plat of the Ware Seguin subdivision and subsequently approved the preliminary plat itself. These actions reflect the commission's role in managing land use, zoning, and development approvals that impact future procurement and development projects within the city.
