STAFF ANALYSIS:
2024 Comprehensive Plan
Light Industrial/Business Park includes business and office-related land uses, warehousing, and light industrial and manufacturing uses that occur indoors and do not involve the processing of raw materials. Office and business park land uses may be supported by nearby retail and restaurant uses. Primary land uses include: business parks, technology/data Centers, flex offices/warehousing, office, light manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, food and beverage product manufacturing, fulfillment-centers, call centers, and logistics centers.
The adopted Comprehensive Plan includes Land Use Actions:
L-10 Ensure land uses along major corridors support appropriate commercial, industrial, and institutional uses.
Strategic Economic Development Plan
Several unmet opportunities have been identified that, if strategically addressed, could significantly enhance the City of Cibolo’s growth trajectory and ensure long-term economic sustainability. The initiative outlines market-driven opportunities and presents targeted strategies designed to strengthen the City’s overall economic development environment in alignment with Council priorities.
The City of Cibolo, Texas, is strategically positioned to attract and support advanced manufacturing industries, due in large part to its proximity to Interstate 10—one of the nation’s most significant east-west transportation corridors. This location provides direct access to regional, national, and international markets, facilitating efficient movement of goods and materials and enhancing the City’s appeal to logistics, distribution, and advanced manufacturing operations.
According to the adopted plan, The Interstate 10 economic activity center is an advantageous area for industrial investment given the substantial developable acreage that can absorb manufacturing facilities and logistics-based operations.
Plan Implementation Strategy Includes:
- Increase the City’s developable non-residential land assets.
- Enhance coordination of utility investment and development to support industrial development.
- Strengthen relationships with local and regional stakeholders.
- Increase the City’s entrepreneurial policies and programs.
