SUBJECT:
Plan Amendment 14036
SUMMARY:
An Ordinance amending the future land use plan contained in the South Central San Antonio Community Plan, a component of the Comprehensive Master Plan of the City, by changing the future land use of approximately 0.35 acres of land out of NCB 8615 located at 108 Linda Lou Drive from Low Density Residential land use to Business Park land use.

Plan Adoption Date: August 19, 1999
Update History: November 10, 2005 and December 6, 2007

LAND USE ANALYSIS:
The subject property is located along the south side of Linda Lou Drive between South Presa and Boxelder Street, within the South Central San Antonio Community Plan. The subject property consists of a portion of the parking area to an existing vacant commercial building. The applicant requests this plan amendment and associated zoning change in order to complete their relocation into the existing vacant commercial facility. The recommended amendment will provide consistency with the adjacent Business Park land use classification to the west and south and will allow full utilization of the parking area with the operation of the proposed business. The Business Park land use classification supports the South Central San Antonio Community Plan objectives of promoting economic growth in the area along its corridors and in established commercial areas.
TRANSPORTATION/INFRASTRUCTURE ANALYSIS:
The City's Major Thoroughfare Plan identified East Southcross Boulevard as a Secondary Arterial Type A. South Presa Street and Hackberry Street are classified as Secondary Arterial Type B. Linda Lou Drive and Boxelder Street are local streets. The area includes sidewalks which allow for pedestrian access to and from the adjacent residential areas. There is a VIA bus stop at the corner of Linda Lou Drive and South Presa Street. The existing transportation infrastructure could support any additional demand generated by the requested land use change.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES ANALYSIS:
The New Frontiers Charter School is within walking distance. San Antonio Fire Station No. 13 and Riverside Park Elementary are in close proximity. The existing community facilities could support any additional demand generated by the requested land use change.
ALTERNATIVES:
No action will maintain the current future land use classification of Low Density Residential.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. A Comprehensive Master Plan Amendment carries no specific financial commitment or immediate action by the City or partnering agencies.
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
The recommended amendment will provide consistency with the adjacent Business Park land use classification to the west and south and will allow full utilization of the parking area in the operation of the proposed business. The Business Park land use classification supports the South Central San Antonio Community Plan objectives of promoting economic growth in the area along its corridors and in established commercial areas.
