Property Details
Property History: The subject property was annexed into the City of San Antonio in 1986 and was previously zoned “Temporary A” Single-Family Residence District. In a 1989 City-initiated large-area case, the property was split-zoned “R-A” Residence - Agriculture District, “B-3NA” Business Non-Alcoholic Sales District and “I-1” Light Industry District. Upon adoption of the 2001 Unified Development Code, the previous base zoning districts converted to the current “NP-10” Neighborhood Preservation District, “C-3NA” General Commercial Non-Alcoholic Sales District and “I-1” General Industrial District, respectively.
Topography: There is no significant slope or floodplain on the property.

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 property is located within the Eastern Triangle Community Plan and is designated as Urban Living in the future land use component of the Plan. The owner of the property proposes to develop the property with industrial uses. The requested zoning of “I-1” Industrial District is not consistent with the current future land use classification. The applicant has applied for a plan amendment to change the future land use classification to “Industrial.” Staff recommends Approval. Planning Commission continued the hearing until September 14, 2016.
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.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The property consists of three different zoning designations. The applicant is requesting the “I-1” zoning district which will allow the property to be developed in character with the surrounding character of the 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:
The proposed Plan Amendment and proposed zoning change request follow the current pattern of development in the surrounding area and support the goals of the Eastern Triangle Community Plan to expand and build thriving commercial corridors.
6. Size of Tract:
The 16.055 acre site is of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed use.
7. Other Factors:
None.
