RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff and Zoning Commission (10-0) recommend 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 subject property is located within the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan and is currently designated as Business Park land use in the future land use component of the plan. The proposed change to “L” Light Industrial District and “I-1” General Industrial District are not consistent with the future land use classification. Therefore, a plan amendment to Light Industrial land use classification is being proposed. Staff and Planning Commission recommend Approval.

Staff has found no evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
Surrounding lots are developed with industrial and commercial uses. The proposed zoning request is consistent with the surrounding land uses.
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 proposed request meets the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan’s objective of promoting a variety of housing types that will enhance quality housing within the community.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject area is 17.86 acres in size, which will adequately accommodate the uses permitted in “L” Light Industrial District and “I-1” General Industrial District and required parking.
7. Other Factors:
None.
