COUNCIL DISTRICTS IMPACTED: Council District 4
SUBJECT:
Resolution to initiate rezoning of approximately 71 acres out of Lot 1, Block 3, NCB 16458 located at 3445 Fest Road.
SUMMARY:
Councilman Saldaña requests the City Council, through resolution, initiate rezoning of property located at 3445 Fest Road, from the current "RP AHOD" Resource Protection Airport Hazard Overlay District to "RP S AHOD" Resource Protection Airport Hazard Overlay District with a Specific Use Authorization for a Private Recreational Facility and waive all associated zoning fees.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The subject property is currently undeveloped. The property was platted in 2013, to allow the construction of a recreational and camp facility for the Boy Scouts. The proposed facility requires a Specific Use Authorization in the existing "RP" Resource Protection base zoning district.
ISSUE:
The entire property proposed to be developed as a recreational and camping facility contains approximately 82 acres in two platted lots. A portion of the property is located outside of the San Antonio City Limits, where the City of San Antonio has no zoning authority. Therefore, the request to initiate rezoning applies only to that portion of land located within the City of San Antonio.
ALTERNATIVES:
Should City Council chose not to initiate rezoning of the subject property, the property owner may initiate rezoning.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The subject property is approximately 71 acres in size, which equates to a rezoning fee of $11,500. The request for a Specific Use Authorization carries an additional $500 fee. Through this resolution, the City Council may waive all or part of the required fees.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
