The Boerne City Council meeting on June 24, 2025, focused on a proposed site plan for a new development that includes a Starbucks coffee shop and additional retail space. The plan outlines a 6,300 square foot building, with the Starbucks occupying 2,400 square feet and the adjacent retail space covering 3,900 square feet. The Starbucks is set to operate from 5 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week.

The development will feature a community pocket park, contingent on the acquisition of the property by the developer. Access to the site will be provided via Herff Road, along with a cross-access easement at the rear of the property. The plan also includes a drive-thru with sufficient stacking space for 26 cars, ensuring smooth traffic flow.

During the meeting, the council reviewed the landscape plan, noting limitations due to a 30-foot power easement and a 12-foot width area that restricts tree planting. Renderings of the proposed building and park were presented, showcasing the design and layout.

City staff proposed changes to the stipulations for the project, emphasizing compliance with the site plan and landscape renderings. The council's discussions highlighted the importance of ensuring that the development aligns with community standards and expectations. The next steps will involve further review and potential approval of the site plan as it progresses.
