Proximity to Regional Center/Premium Transit Corridor

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis & Recommendation: Staff and Planning Commission (6-0) recommend Approval.
The proposed land use amendment from “Natural Tier” to “Suburban Tier” is requested in order to rezone the property to “R-6 S” Residential Single-Family District with uses permitted for a Manufactured Home. This is consistent with the West/Southwest Sector Plan’s objective for neighborhood uses should be accessible by pedestrians. “Suburban Tier” allows for single family residential uses.
Sector Plan Criteria for review:
• The recommended land use pattern identified in the West/Southwest Sector Land Use Plan inadequately provides appropriate optional sites for the land use change proposed in the amendment.
• The amendment must constitute an overall improvement to the West/Southwest Sector Plan and will not solely benefit a particular landowner or owners at a particular point in time.
• The amendment must uphold the vision for the future of the West/Southwest Sector Plan.
The amendment will not adversely impact a portion of, or the entire Planning Area by;
• Significantly altering acceptable existing land use patterns, especially in established neighborhoods.
• Affecting the existing character (i.e. visual, physical, and functional) of the immediate area.
• Creating activities that are not compatible with adjacent neighboring uses, and, particularly, the mission of Lackland Air Force Base.
• Significantly alter recreational amenities such as open space, parks, and trails.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend denial of the proposed amendment to the West/Southwest Sector Land Use Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
