RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis & Recommendation: Staff and Planning Commission (9-0) recommend Approval.
The applicant seeks a Plan Amendment to “High Density Residential” to rezone to “MF-33”. While the existing “Mixed Use” is appropriate for the property, the proposed “High Density Residential” land use is also appropriate. Properties to the east and west of the subject site are “High Density Residential”. The proposed land use is also consistent with existing “Mixed use” and “Medium Density Residential” in the area.
The proposed Plan Amendment maintains the goals and objectives of the San Antonio Airport Vicinity Plan to enhance the housing quality and options in existing neighborhoods that are impacted by airport functions and noise.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend Denial of the proposed amendment to the Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
