SUMMARY: A resolution supporting the closure of a 0.3910 acre unimproved alley right-of-way located in Council District 10 between Anacacho Road and O'Connor Road as requested by Big Diamond LLC/CST.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
This resolution will support the closure of a 0.3910 acre unimproved alley right-of-way located in Council District 10 between Anacacho Road and O'Connor Road as requested by Big Diamond LLC/CST.
CST Brands, a Fortune 500 Company based in San Antonio, is one of the largest retailers of motor fuels and convenience merchandise in North America. CST has approximately 1,900 locations throughout the southwest and nearly 12,000 employees.
Big Diamond, LLC (petitioner) is a subsidiary of CST. It purchased properties at the corner of Stahl Road and O'Connor Road to develop a Corner Store. The store will sell gasoline and convenience items, and will include 4,000 square feet for restaurant use. The petitioner had the property rezoned to Community Commercial under Ordinance 2014-09-18-0726. The properties are separated by an unimproved alley right-of-way, so the petitioner requested the city close, vacate and abandon its interest in the alley to allow for the store development. The petitioner intends to replat the property and will incorporate the alley into the store footprint. The replat process has been initiated, and a traffic impact analysis is under review. The proposed level of investment is $4,000,000.00 and the company intends to employ 30 people.
The abutting property owner, Lord of the Harvest Church, has consented to the closure and plans to incorporate the unimproved alley into its campus.
