Schertz council is scheduled to approve or disapprove a Comal Appraisal District resolution concerning a proposed property purchase at 923 S. Castell Avenue in New Braunfels.
The Nov. 17 meeting starts at 6 p.m. in the Hal Baldwin Municipal Complex Council Chambers, 1400 Schertz Parkway, Building 4. Residents may register to speak before the meeting; speakers have three minutes, and handouts or USB materials are due to the city secretary by noon on the preceding Monday.
From the record
The Comal Appraisal District board approved an Oct. 20 resolution proposing to buy the Castell Avenue property for facility expansion. Schertz is one of the taxing units being asked to approve or disapprove the district’s proposed facility purchase.
Site plan from the record
The item memorandum says three-fourths of eligible taxing units must act within 30 days of receiving the request. It says failure to act and file within the specified time is treated as approval. That makes Schertz’s response consequential even if the council chooses to take no affirmative vote.
Three zoning hearings
Item 9 concerns about eight acres near FM 1518 and Maske Road. The proposal would change the land from R-2 zoning to a planned development district for open space in Randolph’s APZ-II area. The item memorandum says schools would be prohibited and utilities permissible; it reports two favorable and no opposing neighboring responses at the time it was prepared. Those responses are a count in the memo, not a prediction of hearing testimony.
