LAND USE ANALYSIS:
The applicant requests this plan amendment and associated zoning change in order to have 5 shipping containers on the subject property. The subject property is located at the intersection of Nacogdoches Road and Titan Drive. Regional Commercial is intended for high intensity uses to attract a large population of consumers in a regional area, and is ideally located at the intersection of major arterials. The subject property is not located within an area defined by the term Regional Commercial. The requested Regional Commercial classification does not support the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Plan’s objective of preserving neighborhood integrity and preventing commercial encroachment.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend approval of the proposed amendment to the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Denial. The requested Regional Commercial would be encroaching into the adjacent neighborhood, and is not located along a major intersection or within a node.
