RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends 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 San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Plan and designated Mixed-Use in the future land use component of the plan. The requested "MF-25" Multi-Family district is consistent with the adopted land use designation.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff has not found evidence of likely adverse impacts in relation to this zone change request. The proposed use is consistent with the established development pattern of the surrounding area. Additionally, the apartment has operated for several years and the zone change request seeks only to make the property conforming to current zoning regulations.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The current "C-2" Commercial base zoning district does not permit the operation of an apartment complex on the subject property.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare:
Staff has not found any indication of likely adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. Public Policy:
As the request is consistent with the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Plan, staff finds that the request does not appear to conflict with any public policy objective.
6. Size of Tract:
The 0.148 acre tract is of sufficient size for the requested zone change.
7. Other Factors:
This zone change request is a city initiated rezoning of the C-2 strip since it was an administrative error that occurred as a result of a rezoning of a tract of land. This will not require a SAWS report.
