RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends Approval.
The applicant is requesting a change to allow for the development of an outdoor athletic field. The property is designated as “Medium Density Residential” for future land use. The request for a change to the plan amendment to “Community Commercial” is consistent with the “Parks/Open Space” use south of the subject property, where an athletic center currently exists. The request is also compatible with the land use plan goal to occupy vacant parcels.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend denial of the proposed amendment to the San Antonio Airport Vicinity
Land Use Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
