Property Details
Property History: The subject property was annexed into the City of San Antonio in 1905.

Then a 2006 case (2006-12-14-1441) zoned the subject property as “R-4” Residential Single-Family District.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff and Zoning Commission (10-0) recommend Approval
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 future land use component of the plan. The requested “IDZ” Infill Development Zone base zoning district is consistent with the future land use designation.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff finds no evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The current “R-4” base zoning district is appropriate for the subject property’s location. However, the property faces Carle Avenue, Probandt, and is in close proximity to IH 10; IDZ would be a suitable buffer to the adjacent neighborhood.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare:
Staff has found no indication of likely adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. Public Policy:
The rezoning request does not appear to conflict with any public policy objective.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject property totals 0.118 acres in size, which should reasonably accommodate the uses permitted in “IDZ” Infill Development Zone District.
7. Other Factors:
None.
