expectations set by the community, said Michael Cas- sata, Universal City development services director. “The city has put in place a [Planned Unit Devel- opment] process that allows for a thorough vetting of proposed multifamily developments,” Cassata said. “We are aware of the regional growth demands and need for additional housing, and strive to ensure that any development that is approved in Universal City meets the quality-of-life expecta- tions demanded by our residents.” Building multifamily The cities of Schertz, Cibolo, Selma, Live Oak and
Universal City have all experienced more multi- family units built alongside a growth in population. Over the last two years, developments such as Ascend at 1604, Trophy Oaks and the Citadel at Lookout Road have begun leasing apartments for residents. In Universal City, there are two upcoming mul- tifamily developments that were approved by City Council within the last six months, Cassata said. The rst location, at 2902 Pat Booker Road, will consist of 10 buildings and 268 units. The second development, at the southeast corner of Loop 1604 and West Byrd Boulevard, will have
eight buildings making up 291 units. Universal City is bound by other cities, so o - cials have to maximize available land to accommo- date increased residential and commercial growth, Cassata said. This means multifamily projects are popping up in areas where market conditions do not favor commercial development due to location and other factors. “Ideal places for new multifamily are adjacent to Loop 1604 and certain in ll sites on Pat Booker Road that have traditionally been zoned com- mercial but are not viable commercial properties based on current market conditions,” Cassata said.
