Land Use Analysis
The subject property is located at 2535 South West 35th Street within the Kelly / South San PUEBLO Community Plan. The applicant requests to change the future land use from "Low Density Residential" to "Industrial". The applicant requests this plan amendment in order to have a consistent zoning designation with the property to the south. The north seventy five (75) feet of lot thirty (30) is zoned C-1 and the south seventy five (75) feet of lot thirty (30) is zoned "I-1" General Industrial, most of the property adjacent to the property is zoned industrial since the property is located in what used to be part of the Kelly Field Aviation Complex, there are a limited number of residential homes, and the location is more supportive of industrial use than residential. Therefore, the Industrial land use classification for the subject property is appropriate at this location and supports the Plan's goal to encourage Port San Antonio to attract clean industry and businesses that will offer local residents quality jobs.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend denial of the proposed amendment to Kelly / South San PUEBLO Community Plan.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. The development of the subject property with the "Industrial" use classification is consistent and compatible with the existing development pattern.
