Comprehensive Land Use Categories
High Density Residential: All residential uses, including apartments, condominiums and assisted living facilities. High Density uses typically located along or near major arterials or collectors. High Density Residential may be used as a transitional buffer between lower density residential uses and non-residential uses. Not recommended within the Noise Contours.

Examples are cafes, offices, restaurants, beauty parlors, neighborhood groceries or markets, shoe repair shops and medical clinic. Medium intensity uses that serve two or more neighborhoods.

LAND USE ANALYSIS:
The subject property consists of part of a parking lot for a commercial development. The applicant requests this plan amendment and associated zoning change in order to bring the subject property and the adjoining commercial development into compliance with applicable zoning regulations. The proposed amendment to Community Commercial will provide consistency with the existing use and allow the applicant to seek the appropriate zoning classification. The development of the subject property with the Community Commercial land use classification would contribute toward the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan vision of compatibility by not significantly altering the existing development pattern.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend denial of the proposed amendment to the San Antonio International
Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed amendment to Community Commercial will provide consistency with the existing use and allow the applicant to seek the appropriate zoning classification. The development of the subject property with the Community Commercial land use classification would contribute toward the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan vision of compatibility by not significantly altering the existing development pattern.
