RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff and Planning Commission (8-0) recommend Approval.
The applicant proposes to use the property as a single-family dwelling. The structure was built in 2003 and is currently surrounded by other residential uses. While the area is primarily light industrial, the highway buffers the intense uses to the east with less intense uses to the west. In addition, allowing the change to “Low Density Residential” provides the potential to decrease the saturation of heavy industrial uses.
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.
