RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis & Recommendation: Staff and Planning Commission (8-0) recommend Approval.
The proposed “Regional Commercial” is generally consistent with the goals and objectives of the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan. The requested land use amendment is in agreement with the current development of the area with “Regional Commercial” being prevalent to the east and south of the property. The land use amendment is requested in order to rezone the property from “MF-33” Multi-Family District to “C-3” General Commercial District in order to permit the expansion of North Park Lexus located to the south of the property.
Relevant Goals and Objectives of the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Plan include:
• Goal II: Encourage economic growth that enhances airport operations and surrounding development
• Objective 2.2 Encourage commercial development that respects the integrity of existing residential development
• Objective 4.4 Support commercial redevelopment through comprehensive rezoning and incentive zoning
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.
