Sorting out details<\/p>\n
Universal City\u2019s City Council approved the annexation of a 73.67-acre property for a proposed single-family development March 17<\/a>. The dais also approved an ordinance to change about 4 acres of the property\u2019s land use designation from community commercial to medium density and a change in zoning to the entire tract of land. The property\u2019s zoning was changed from large-lot residential to planned unit development, or PUD, district, according to agenda documents.<\/p>\n The ordinance changes were approved on first reading and are anticipated to return to council for a second and final reading April 7.<\/p>\n The proposed subdivision\u2014named Whispering Creek\u2014will be owned and constructed by the single-family residential developer Meritage Homes<\/a>. Whispering Creek is anticipated to have between 276 and 285 homes constructed in three phases with a playground, community pool and pedestrian trails, according to agenda documents<\/a>.<\/p>\n There will be a traffic impact analysis, or TIA, completed and submitted as part of the construction plan review. The TIA will include contributing traffic from future developments in Schertz and commercial development at the southeast corner of FM 1518 and Maske Road, agenda documents state.<\/p>\n The property is not within a 100-year Federal Emergency Management Agency Floodplain<\/a>, according to agenda documents. Water services would be provided by the Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority<\/a>, according to the meeting presentation.<\/p>\n A portion of the property is located in Joint Base San Antonio\u2019s<\/a>, or JBSA\u2019s, Accident Potential Zone 2. Although JBSA officials did not object to the proposed development, they requested that the amenity center associated with the housing project be in an area outside of that zone, according to agenda documents.<\/p>\n Some background<\/p>\n The city\u2019s planning and zoning commission recommended the project following a March 2 meeting. Approximately 30 notices were mailed to adjacent property owners and public entities that could be impacted by the subdivision. City staff had not received any responses from neighboring property owners, according to agenda documents.<\/p>\n City Council approved a resolution authorizing its city manager to execute a 10-year post-annexation agreement for the property Feb. 17<\/a>. The approval allows the property owner to receive police and fire protection, emergency medical services, water and wastewater, and solid waste collection services, as previously reported<\/a> by Community Impact.<\/p>\n “><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new single-family subdivision is one step closer to being constructed in Universal City\u2019s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
