The “R-5” base zoning permits single-family dwellings (detached) with a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 50 feet, foster family home, public and private schools.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

 

PROXIMITY TO REGIONAL CENTER/PREMIUM TRANSIT CORRIDOR:

The property is not located within a Regional Center. The property is located within a ½ of a mile of the Looper Premium Transit Corridor.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff recommends 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 Eastern Triangle Community Plan and is currently designated as “High Density Mixed Use” in the future land use component of the plan. The requested “C-3NA” base zoning district is not consistent with the future land use designation. The applicant is requesting a land use amendment from “High Density Mixed Use” to “Regional Commercial” to accommodate the proposed rezoning. Staff recommends approval.  The recommendation from the Planning Commission is pending the December 19, 2018 meeting.

 

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 majority of the properties along S. WW White Road carry “C-2” and “C-3” base zoning districts.

 

3.  Suitability as Presently Zoned: 

The current “R-5” base zoning is not an appropriate base zoning for the property due to its location along South W.W. White Road, a primary arterial. The requested “C-3NA” base zoning is more consistent with the current development of the area.

 

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 property is located within the Eastern Triangle Community Plan and requested rezoning from “R-5” to “C-3NA” is generally consistent with the goals and objectives of the plan. The plan underscores the desire to attract and retain businesses, services and retail establishments to the area. The commercial portion of the property will be located along South W.W. White Road, a primary arterial. Commercial uses are prevalent along South W.W. White Road.

 

Relevant Goals and Objectives of the Eastern Triangle Community Plan:

 

Objective 7.2: Attract new businesses to the Eastern Triangle

 

Goal 8: Expand and Build Thriving Commercial Corridors

 

8.1.6. Promote community-oriented businesses along the Loop 410-Access Road

 

Goal 9: Promote Diversification of Businesses and Services Objective

 

9.1: Increase the range of family-oriented businesses and services within the Eastern Triangle

 

6.  Size of Tract: 

The subject property is 0.9452 of an acre, which could accommodate a multitude of commercial uses.

 

7.  Other Factors: 

The property is owned by the City of San Antonio and previously was used as a Fire Station. The city built a new Fire Station on the other side of South W.W. White Road and is now in the process of selling the property to the adjacent property owner. The proposed rezoning would be consistent with the adjacent property.
