RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis & Recommendation: Staff and Planning Commission (9-0) recommend Approval.
The applicant proposes to use the subject property as an extension of the original development from a prior rezoning case in 2007 (Z2007319). The anchor for the development was the Northeast Independent School District. An adaptive reuse of the vacated quarry is encouraged, and the requested “ED” Entertainment District is appropriate for the use of Morgan’s Wonderland for a pickle ball facility and an indoor rock climbing facility. Privately owned property cannot have the “Parks/Open Space” designation, and allowing the change to “Public/Institutional” will create unison with the rest of the recreation park.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend Denial of the proposed amendment to the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
