Background Information:
The property is proposed to be a self-storage facility. This property is currently located in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City, and is also directly adjacent to the San Marcos High School. Due to City code requirements, the proximity of the property to a City waste water line requires the applicant to attach to City waste water, rather than use a septic system.
Current City code requires applicants who need City utilities to request annexation and zoning, which the applicant was unaware of at the time of purchase and through the plat submittal process.
City Staff and the applicant negotiated a Development Agreement which has a base zoning of Light Industrial (LI). The Development Agreement stipulates that the property will be annexed and zoned to the LI zoning district prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy of the building. The Development Agreement requires additional standards than the base LI district standards. The Development Agreement has a built in 15-year term, that will automatically renew for two 15-year periods, unless the applicant requests to amend the agreement and Council approves.
A draft agreement with proposed site plan and renderings are attached.
Council Committee, Board/Commission Action:
Council approved City Staff to negotiate the terms of the Development Agreement with the applicant at their regularly scheduled meeting on August 18, 2020.
At their regularly scheduled meeting on October 7, 2020, City Council moved to postpone a decision on this item in order to receive clarification about the annexation and zoning components of this request.
