LAND USE ANALYSIS:
The applicant requests this plan amendment and associated zoning change in order to have a reception hall. The subject property is located on a small lot that would not accommodate the intensity of Regional Commercial. The subject property is also near the intersection of a local road and a secondary arterial. Regional Commercial uses are generally located within areas with high commercial activity, and major intersections. This property is not suited for a Regional Commercial land use category. In addition the applicant could change the zoning request from “C-3” to “C-2 CD” Conditional Use for a Reception Hall, which would no longer require the plan amendment.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend approval of the proposed amendment to the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Plan as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Denial. The subject properties location is not a suitable fit for Regional Commercial. The property is not located within a major arterial node, and is not within the vision of the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Plan, to encourage compatible uses with more intense commercial uses at major intersection nodes.
