Residents are opposed primarily to increased density within their neighborhood. On Sept. 5, the applicant withdrew the project application, marking what could be a temporary end for the development process. Habi Land LLC did not respond to requests for comment.

Ex-Northcliffe golf course’s future uncertain

BY JARRETT WHITENER

The background

Area home counts Development proposals called for multifamily housing on part of the former Northcliffe Golf Club, which is surrounded by single-family neighborhoods.

In 2022, developers brought to City Council their first request to change the zoning for the planned development district to apartment/ multifamily residential. Their proposal included about 220 units developed as fourplexes. Residents expressed concern because the number of proposed units was larger than the number of homes in some of the surrounding communities, according to local homeowners associations’ data. Developers retooled the proposal and brought it back to council on Feb 28. On April 25, the item failed to get approval from a supermajority vote— or six of the seven council members that are required due to property owners’ protests. Developers scaled back the project plans two more times but residents remained concerned about dense development and abiding by the Unified Development Code. Mayor Ralph Gutierrez said the issues would have been addressed following the rezoning approval.

A closer look

What they’re saying

As a way to preserve green space, resi- dents Heather Jackson and Paul Kendzior said homeowners are working to create a public improvement district near the development area with a goal of getting it on the council agenda before year’s end. “We are making really good progress,” he said. “It is going to be a lot of leg work and a lot to get done, but we are going to do it.”

“The process brought our neighborhood closer together while also showing the broken processes in our city codes. … Members of council that repeatedly voted in favor of the development now say that a ‘no’ vote should occur when out of compliance of the UDC.” CAROL ALLEN, SCHERTZ RESIDENT

“The Northcliffe golf course I don’t think will ever exist again. We just have to find a perfect balance for that neighborhood because the character of that neighborhood is going to change with the development.” MAYOR RALPH GUTIERREZ

Proposed projects Area residents successfully fought off four proposed plans to redevelop the former Northcliffe Golf Club property. 220 units, or 55 fourplexes September 2022 February 28, 2023 198 townhomes, or 51 buildings July 18, 2023

and reduce the number of planned development district proposals.

On Sept. 19, City Council hosted a workshop on planned development district projects and proposals. City staff asked council how zoning should be handled and to consider ways to reduce the number of proposals. Possible outcomes for the future of the planned development include: • Council revisits the Unified Development Code to set a definitive standard

• The property owner returns with a new development proposal, which will go through the entire development process again including planning and zoning. • Residents could succeed with the creation of a public improvement district for other areas of the former golf course.

Election

BY JARRETT WHITENER

Voter Guide

Schertz polling location to be closed for election Guadalupe County voters will not have a central polling location for the Nov. 7 election. The Guadalupe County office located on Elbel Road is closed for renovations. Commissioners approved in February an office space allocation form that relocated county departments housed in the closed building to the Guadalupe County Services Center located off FM 78. On July 11, commissioners also approved a construction manager at-risk contract with Tejas Premier Building Contractor to oversee the renova- tion of the Elbel Road building. Commissioners will work with the contractor on the timeline, project scope and total cost of the project. While other services will be available at the Guadalupe County Services Center on FM 78, the center will not serve as a polling location.

Schertz voters to pick 3 council members During the November election, council places 3, 4 and 5 will be on the ballot, which are held by Jill Whittaker, Michael Dahle and David Scagliola, respectively. No incumbents have submitted appli- cations to be on the ballot, meaning the city will have three new council members following the canvassing of the votes. Eight candidates will be on the ballot, with the Place 4 Council position making up half of those candidates. Should a candidate not receive the majority vote, the election will result in a runoff where the top two vote-getters will be placed on the ballot. New members of the City Council will be sworn in following the canvassing of votes. Elected officials will serve through Novem- ber 2026.

Couple opens Grampie’s Neighborhood Pizzeria Kristen and Aaron Grat work to make authentic New York-style pizza at Grampie’s Neighborhood Pizzeria, which opened Aug. 17 in Cibolo. “My whole career, I have been wanting to have my own place,” Aaron said. “And I knew that when I did it, I wanted it to be a pizzeria.” On the menu Aaron attributes the success of Grampie’s—named for his Italian grandfather—to passion. “Every day we make the dough fresh, and the big dierence is [we use] New York water,” he said. The restaurant’s ltration system mimics the water quality of that in New York, which helps the pizza have a more authentic taste, Aaron said. Popular menu items include Grampie’s Favorite, which is a specialty pizza topped with meatballs and a layer of shredded pepperoni. Pizza is also available by the slice all day.

The Grampie’s Favorite ($19.99) is one of the more popular pizzas at the restaurant, according to the owners.
