Property Details
Property History: The subject property was annexed into the City Limits in 1952 and was originally zoned "Temporary R-1" Temporary Single-Family Residence District then zoned "R-3" Multi-Family residence district. In 1969 the subject property was rezoned to "B-2" Business District. Upon adoption of the 2001 Unified Development Code, the previous base zoning districts converted to "C-2" Commercial District. In 2002 the subject property was rezoned to C-2 NA C" Commercial, Nonalcoholic Sales District with a Conditional use for Wholesale Plumbing Fixtures and Supplies with Outside Storage of Plumbing Pipe, Fittings and Related Products. The subject property was platted in 1990 (volume 9521, page 200 of the Deed and Plat Records of Bexar County, Texas) and reconfigured in its current configuration. The property was developed in 1975 with an approximately 22,042 square feet retail, office and warehouse building structure.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and Zoning Commission (8-0) recommend Approval.
Criteria for Review: According to Section 35-421, zoning amendments shall be based on the approval criteria below.
1. Consistency:
The subject property is located within the North Sector Plan, and is currently designated as Suburban Tier in the future land use component of the plan. The proposed base zoning district is consistent with the North Sector Plan and the surrounding area zoning districts.
The subject property is surrounded by commercial zoning districts and uses in the immediate area. The proposed use can be accommodated with a Conditional Use and maintain the current base zoning district of "C-2". A Conditional Use rezoning will avoid the intensive commercial uses.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff has found no evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The existing "C-2" base zoning district is appropriate for the subject property.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare:
Staff has found no indication of likely adverse effects on the public health, safety or welfare.
5. Public Policy:
The request does not appear to conflict with any public policy objective.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject property measures 0.7730 of an acre in size, which is sufficient to accommodate the development and required parking. The subject property is fully developed.
7. Other Factors:
None.
