RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Analysis and Recommendation: Staff and Planning Commission (9-0) recommend Approval.
The applicant is seeking a Plan Amendment to “Mixed-Use,” to rezone to “C-2 CD” Commercial District with a Conditional Use for a Construction Trades Contractors Facility to continue to operate the existing facility.
The proposed “Mixed-Use” is already an established land use in the area and is appropriate for the subject property. The subject property has not been used as “Medium Density Residential” since the adoption of the plan. “Mixed Use” will also allow for the flexibility of commercial uses in addition to residential uses.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend Denial of the proposed amendment to the San Antonio International Airport Vicinity Land Use Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
