SUBJECT:
Proposed RIO-7 along San Pedro Creek
SUMMARY:
The San Antonio River Authority has contracted with a consultant to develop design requirements for properties adjacent to the planned San Pedro Creek improvements. The objective of the new requirements is to ensure quality public and private development within the vicinity of the Creek Improvements and compatible. Two public informational meetings were held in March 2016, and the draft amendments have been publicly available since that time. Stakeholder groups, such as Bexar County, the San Pedro Creek Advisory Committee, the King William Association, the AIA, and a few private groups have all provided comments for the draft. Councilman Treviño has also met with staff and the guidelines consultant regarding the amendments. The design requirements, which include site configuration standards, creek connectivity, and building massing, will be applied to the Unified Development Code (UDC) as a new RIO district (RIO-7).
Staff is currently finalizing the draft and has held briefings with the Design Review Committee of the HDRC and the Development Process Task Force.
