STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Approval.
The requested Plan Amendment from “Country Tier” to “Agribusiness / RIMSE Tier” will allow the applicant to rezone to “L” Light Industrial, “I-1” General Industrial, and “RP S” Resource Protection with a Specific Use for a Manufactured Home.
The Plan Amendment meets the goals of the Heritage South Plan to advance the City of San Antonio “Mission Verde” Strategy, providing quality, green employment that is currently lacking in the surrounding area and provides an opportunity for green workforce development. The applicant intends to manufacture small homes and solar panels.
Sector Plan Criteria for review:
• The recommended land use pattern identified in the Heritage South 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 Heritage South 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 Heritage South 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.
• Significantly alter recreational amenities such as open space, parks, and trails.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend Denial of the proposed amendment to the North Sector Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
