BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Property Location: A portion of the 5000 Block of Roosevelt Avenue
Acreage: 25.71

Comprehensive Plan Analysis:
Comprehensive Plan Component: Stinson Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan
Plan Adoption Date: April 2. 2009
Update History: None
Plan Goals:
Goal I: Protect the quality of life of residents including health, safety and welfare
Objective 1.1 Protect integrity of exiting residential neighborhoods
Objective 1.2 Discourage developments of incompatible uses on vacant land
LAND USE ANALYSIS:
A small portion of the subject property has frontage on Roosevelt Avenue with the greater portion located behind a strip of land classified as Mixed Use located along Roosevelt Avenue between Ashley Road and Loop 410. The subject property is currently vacant and is classified as Mixed Use. There is abutting school on the west side of the subject property and property to the north is developed with a mix of single-family homes and commercial business uses. The applicant requests this plan amendment and associated zoning change in order to develop it as single-family.
One of the primary intents of the plan is to promote compatible land uses beneficial to the airport's operations and public safety. The plan also addresses the area's neighborhoods, economic development, cultural and environmental resources to promote future sustainability. The proposed Low Density Residential land use classification would support the goal of the plan by sustaining the balance of economic development that will preserve neighborhood integrity. The location of the subject property behind the front portion of property along Roosevelt Avenue will prevent future commercial encroachment. The location of the subject property is suitable for Low Density Residential land use as recommended by the Stinson Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan, which recommends discouraging developments of incompatible uses on vacant land and protect the integrity of existing residential neighborhoods.
Transportation/INFRASTURE ANALYSIS:
Loop 410 South is located one block south of the subject property, and is identified by the Major Thoroughfare as a Freeway. The subject property has frontage on Roosevelt Avenue. Roosevelt Avenue is identified by the Major Thoroughfare Plan as a Primary Arterial Type A roadway. Ashley Road is north of subject property and is identified by the Major Thoroughfare as a Secondary Arterial Type B. There is a bus stop on the subject property and across from the subject property served by route 42 operating along Roosevelt Avenue.
Community Facilities ANALYSIS: The subject property is in close proximity to the Stinson Municipal Airport, Tejeda Academy, Espada Aqueduct, San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, the former Rilling Road Water Treatment plant, and the Espada Mission located south of Loop 410, as well as the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park (including Mission San Juan de Capistrano).
ISSUE:
The proposed zoning is not consistent with the future land use plan and requires that the applicant request a plan amendment.
ALTERNATIVES:
No action will maintain the current future land use classification of Mixed Use.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. A Comprehensive Master Plan Amendment carries no specific financial commitment or immediate action by the City or partnering agencies.
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
Approval. Low Density Residential land use is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Stinson Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan. The location of the subject property is suitable for Low Density Residential land use as recommended by the Stinson Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan, which recommends discouraging developments of incompatible uses on vacant land and protect the integrity of exiting residential neighborhoods.
