Land Use Analysis
Most of the included properties are being annexed into the City of San Antonio after Agricultural Exemptions, as registered through the Bexar Country Appraisal District, have been voided due to development or improvement on those properties. The proposed future land use amendments were developed following field surveys, and took into account recent plats, development trends, as well as the San Antonio Major Thoroughfare Plan.
The proposed future land use amendments are proposed to facilitate existing projects and to protect the integrity of the community as it is brought into the City of San Antonio.
ALTERNATIVES:
1.) Recommend denial of the plan amendment, as described above.
2.) Make an alternate recommendation to the plan amendment.
3.) Continue the request to a future date.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. The proposed amendment to the Heritage South Sector Plan takes into account existing development plans, the ability of the street infrastructure to support future growth, and will help to enhance the Heritage South area.
