The property is about 5 acres in size and sits on the southeast corner of County Line Rd and FM 725, as well as the north corner of FM 725 and Pecan Bluff. It's roughly 500 feet northeast of Fischer Park and around 800 feet northwest of the Southbank Planned Development District.
The applicant is requesting a change in zoning from C-1Br78 (General Business District with Restrictions) to C-1A (Neighborhood Business District).

ISSUE:
The applicant's proposal indicates that the requested zone change aims to enable development under the C-1A zoning. This zoning is mainly for offices, businesses, professional services, and light retail and commercial activities. C-1A is typically located at major intersections of collector streets near residential neighborhoods to serve the surrounding areas.
C-1A would be consistent with the following actions from Envision New Braunfels:
• Action 1.3: Encourage balanced and fiscally responsible land use patterns.
• Action 3.3: Balance commercial centers with stable neighborhoods
Future Land Use Plan: The subject property is located within the Dunlap Sub Area, within the Transitional Mixed-Use Corridor, near existing Outdoor Recreation and Market centers, and a proposed Outdoor Recreation center.
FISCAL IMPACT:

Recommendation
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the zone change from C-1Br78 to C-1A for the subject property because it's situated strategically at the southeast corner of County Line Rd and FM 725, both existing arterial roads, and at the north corner of FM 725 and Pecan Bluff. This change aligns with the intended purpose of C-1A zoning, facilitating offices, businesses, professional services, and light retail and commercial activities, serving nearby residential neighborhoods, and boosting the local economy. Furthermore, the location within the Dunlap Sub Area and Transitional Mixed-Use Corridor, alongside existing and proposed outdoor recreation and market centers, supports the zone change, promoting a dynamic urban environment.
Mailed notification as required by state statute:
Public hearing notices were sent to 30 property owners within 200 feet of the request. As of the agenda posting date, the city has received no responses.
