Overlay and Special District Information:
"AHOD"
All surrounding properties carry the "AHOD" Airport Hazard Overlay District, due to their proximity to an airport or approach path. The "AHOD" does not restrict permitted uses, but can require additional review of construction plans by both the Development Services Department and the Federal Aviation Administration.
"MLOD-1"
All surrounding properties carry the "MLOD-1" Military Lighting Overlay District, due to their proximity to Camp Bullis. The "MLOD-1" does not restrict permitted uses, but does regulate outdoor lighting in an effort to minimize night-time light pollution and its effects on operations at the military installation.
"MSAO-1"
All surrounding properties carry the "MSAO-1" Camp Bullis Military Sound Attenuation Overlay District, due to their proximity to Camp Bullis. The "MSAO-1" does not restrict permitted uses, but does enforce construction standards intended to lessen the impact of external noise from the nearby military installation. The “MSAO-1” regulations apply to new construction of habitable structures.

FISCAL IMPACT:

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff and Zoning Commission (10-0) recommend Approval, pending the Plan Amendment.
Criteria for Review: According to Section 35-421, zoning amendments shall be based on the approval criteria below.
1. Consistency:
The subject property is located within the North Sector Plan and is currently designated as “Country Tier” in the future land use component of the plan. The requested "O-2" High Rise Office District and “O-1” Office District is not consistent with the future land use designation. The applicant is requesting a land use amendment from “Country Tier” to “Suburban Tier” to accommodate the proposed rezoning. Staff and Planning Commission recommend Approval of the Plan Amendment.
2. Adverse Impacts on Neighboring Lands:
Staff finds no evidence of likely adverse impacts on neighboring lands in relation to this zoning change request.
3. Suitability as Presently Zoned:
The current “R-20” is an appropriate base zoning for the property and surrounding area. The area consists of predominately large lot residential homes.
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 proposed rezoning does appear to conflict with the goals, principles, and objectives of the North Sector Plan. The surrounding area includes a mix of single and multi-family residences.
Relevant goals of the North Sector Plan:
• Goal ED-1 - Compatible economic development along major transportation routes and existing activity centers that do not interfere with the mission of Camp Bullis.
• ED-1.3 - Continue to maintain and revitalize the North Sector to retain and expand vibrant retail and commercial uses within the IH-10, IH-35, Loop 410 and Loop 1604 corridors and/or centers.
6. Size of Tract:
The subject property is 4.382 acres, which could accommodate the proposed Day Care Center.
7. Other Factors:
The subject property is located within the Camp Bullis Military Influence Area. In accordance with the signed Memorandum of Understanding between Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) Camp Bullis and the City of San Antonio, the Military reviewed the request. Any additional requirements by JBSA have been given to the applicant for coordination.
The “O-2” High Rise Office zoning district requires a 60-foot “O-1” Office buffer adjacent to residential zoning.
