Comprehensive Land Use Categories
Business Park: Medium to large sized buildings in a low rise format that house professional, administrative, light manufacturing, flex space and warehousing functions for private corporations. Should take the form of a cohesive, campus like environment where buildings are interspersed with open space areas and pedestrian walkways. Uses should be separated from residential areas with landscaped buffers and should feature monument signage and lighting that is oriented away from adjacent sites. No residential uses are allowed.
Example Zoning Districts:
BP, C-2, C-3, O-1, O-1.5
 
Comprehensive Land Use Categories
Light Industrial: A mix of light manufacturing uses and limited ancillary retail and supplier uses that service the industrial ones. Should include proper screening and buffering, and be compatible with adjoining uses. Outside storage is not permitted (must be under roof and screened). Examples of light industrial uses include sporting goods manufacturing, machine shops, clothing manufacturers, sign manufacturers, auto paint and body shops, building contractor's suppliers and warehousing.
Example Zoning Districts:
L, BP, C-3, O-1, O-1.5, I-1

LAND USE ANALYSIS:  
The applicant requests this Plan Amendment and associated zoning change in order to bring the subject property into compliance with applicable zoning regulations.  The subject property is classified as Business Park and zoned "R-5" Residential Single-Family District.  The existing and proposed Industrial uses of this intensity are not allowed by right under this land use classification and zoning designation.  In order to accommodate this development the applicant requires the "I-1" General Industrial District zoning district, which accommodates areas of heavy and concentrated fabrication and manufacturing and industrial uses which are suitable based on the character of adjacent development. The proposed change supports the goals of the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan of promoting compatibility and appropriateness between uses, and protecting airport operations from incompatible uses.
    
ALTERNATIVES:
1.      Recommend denial of the proposed amendment to the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity land Use Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
 
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
 
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval. The proposed amendment to the Light Industrial land use classification will provide consistency with the existing use and allow the applicant to seek an appropriate zoning classification from the current "R-5" Residential Single-Family District.
 
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval. Resolution Attached
