Project Overview:
The City of Castroville, a State of Texas “Class A” General Law city, is requesting proposals from qualified consultants to review and update each element of the 2011 Castroville Master Plan.
The City of Castroville is a historically endowed community with many original structures, residential, commercial, and ecclesiastical, dating back to the community’s beginning in 1844. The community is experiencing accelerated growth due to the close proximity of San Antonio. The connecting corridor is U.S. Highway 90 – a divided 4-lane highway up to the City limits of Castroville. Then it becomes a 7-lane highway cutting diagonally through the middle of the original township of Castroville – the old historic district of the community. In the City this corridor includes four traffic lanes, a continuous turn lane in the center, and paved (curb & gutter) shoulder lanes on both sides.
The official City population was 2785 for the 2010 Census. Current commercial and residential development, underway and/or rumored, indicates a rapid growth cycle has begun.
The area of the City is approximately three square miles, the area of the City’s statutory ETJ is about eight square miles, and the extended ETJ is about twelve square miles. The total area of the City, its ETJ area, and the extended ETJ areas is approximately twenty-three square miles. These areas form the primary study area.
The historical character of the old township of Castroville is of primary importance to the community. The continued impact of small family-owned farming is still relevant in the area. The impact of the growth of San Antonio on residential, business, and other commercial development must be considered while maintaining the delicate balance between these primary characteristics of the area.
Background information should be gathered, to the extent possible, from the existing 2011 Castroville Master Plan (CMP).
