Property Details
Property History: The subject property was annexed in 1952 and originally zoned “A”, Single-Family Residential District. In 1982 the subject property was rezoned to “I-1” Light Industrial District. Upon adoption of the 2001 Unified Development Code, the previous base zoning district converted to the current “I-1” General Industrial zoning district. In 1969, a 1,113 square foot residential structure with a detached shed was developed on a portion of the property. Then in 2006 an 1,840 square foot office structure was developed on the remaining portion of the subject property. The subject property was platted in its current configuration in 1949 as described by deed and plat records (volume 2575, page 118 and volume 9581, page 204 of the Deed and Plat Records of Bexar County, Texas).
Topography: The property does not include any abnormal physical features such as slope or inclusion in a floodplain.
