None.
ALTERNATIVES:
Denial of the zoning change request will result in the subject property being zoned “DR” Development Reserve which only allows single-family residential uses without “PUD” zoning.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends Approval, pending Plan Amendment.
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 designated as Country Tier in the land use component of the plan. The requested “PUD R-6” base zoning district is not consistent with the adopted land use designation. The applicant has applied for a Plan Amendment to change the designation to Suburban Tier. Staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Plan Amendment.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff has not found evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this request. The proposed use is consistent with the established development pattern of the surrounding area.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The existing “OCL” designation is appropriate for the surrounding area as it is currently outside of city limits.
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:
The request does not appear to be in conflict with any public policy objective.
6. Size of Tract:
The 36.123 acre site is of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed purpose.
7. Other Factors:
San Antonio Water Systems (SAWS) staff recommends approval of the proposed zoning request. Should the City Council annex and zone the property, SAWS recommends impervious cover limitation not exceed 40% on the site.
