Proximity to Regional Center/Premium Transit Corridor:
The subject property is located within ½ mile of the Perrin Beitel corridor, a proposed future rapid transit corridor, and adjacent to the NE Loop 410/IH-35 Regional Center as outline in the SA Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends Approval.
The applicant requests this plan amendment and associated zoning change in order to increase the density to allow for a Planned Unit Development on the subject property. The subject property is currently vacant and residential development would enhance this underutilized property. The subject property is appropriate for the Medium Density Residential land use classification. The Medium Density Residential classification supports the Airport Vicinity Plan goal of promoting quality development within Perrin Beitel Corridor and consistent with the SA Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan.
The subject property is located in an area which would benefit from “Medium Density Residential” and the vicinity to Commercial Corridor. The requested Plan Amendment change is an appropriate buffer between the single-family residential properties to the south and the commercial properties to the north. The “Medium Density Residential” designation would be appropriate land use classification due to the lot size and the vacant subject property.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend Denial of the proposed amendment to the Airport Vicinity Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
