RECOMMENDATION:

Criteria for Review: According to Section 35-421, zoning amendments shall be based on the approval criteria below.
1. Consistency:
The property is located within the Lone Star Community Plan and is currently designated as Low Density Mixed Use in the land use component of the plan. The requested “IDZ” infill development zone base zoning district with uses permitted in “C-2P” commercial pedestrian district is consistent with the adopted land use designation.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff has found no evidence of likely adverse impacts to neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request. The proposed use is consistent with the established development pattern of the surrounding area.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The existing “I-1” base zoning district is not consistent for the surrounding area.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare:
Staff has not found any evidence of likely adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. Public Policy:
Staff finds that the proposed zoning change imposes no adverse effect on any public policy objective.
6. Size of Tract:
The 1.5868 acre site is of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed development.
7. Other Factors:
The City of San Antonio is initiating this rezoning as per the City Council Resolution approved by City Council on June 18, 2015 for the development and improvement of the subject property as the Boys and Girls Club.
