Property Details
Property History: The subject property is a part of the original 36 square miles of San Antonio and was zoned “B” Residence District. Then a 1986 case, Ordinance 63541 rezoned the property to “R-1” Single Family Residence District. Upon the adoption of the 2001 Unified Development Code, the previous “R-1” converted to the current “R-6” Residential Single-Family District.
Topography: A small portion towards the front of the property is in the floodplain.

Single-family dwelling (detached) with a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 50 feet, foster family home, public and private schools would be allowed in the “R-6” district.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
PROXIMITY TO REGIONAL CENTER/PREMIUM TRANSIT CORRIDOR:
The subject property is not within a Regional Center or Premium Transit Corridor.
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends Approval.
Criteria for Review: According to Section 35-421, zoning amendments shall be based on the approval criteria below.
1. Consistency:
The property is located within the Kelly/South San Pueblo Community Plan, and is currently designated as “Low Density Residential” in the future land use component of the plan. The requested “R-6” Residential Single-Family base zoning district is consistent with the future land use designation.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff finds no evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request. The property currently has a duplex on it, and because of the size of the lot, the applicant proposes to construct another duplex in the rear of the property for a total of four dwelling units.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The current “R-6” base zoning district is appropriate for the subject property’s location. The base will not change, however the conditional use will allow for four (4) residential units on the property.
4. Health, Safety and Welfare:
Staff has found no indication of likely adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
5. Public Policy:
The rezoning request does not appear to conflict with any public policy objective.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject property totals 0.4982 acres in size, which reasonably accommodates the uses permitted in “R-6” Residential Single-Family District.
7. Other Factors:
The Conditional Use zoning procedure is designed to provide for a land use that is not permitted by the established zoning district, but due to individual site considerations or unique development requirements would be compatible with adjacent land uses under given conditions.
