Proximity to Regional Center/Premium Transit Corridor

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis & Recommendation: Staff recommends Approval.
The applicant proposes to rezone the property to allow for Auto Paint and Body for the existing North Park Subaru Dealership and Collision Center. The subject property is within close proximity to a Primary Arterial and other “Regional Commercial” land uses. This area along San Pedro Avenue has already transitioned to “Regional Commercial” along the eastern and southern portions of the subject property. Additional change to “Regional Commercial” within this block is supported and is consistent with the area and the use of the property. Allowing the change to “Regional Commercial” will also allow the existing Auto Paint and Body and Collision Center to be in compliance and expand.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend Denial 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.
