Applicant Nathan Moore described plans to retain portions of the existing structure and add up to three-to-five units, with parking beneath a proposed building and a 15-foot landscaping buffer to mitigate adjacent uses. Moore said he plans to rent long-term (30 days or more) and that his intent was to align the parcel with neighboring commercial lots. He said: “la meta es incrementar el uso potencial de esta propiedad y alinearse con mi vecino,” and indicated a preference for long-term rentals rather than short-term rentals.

Commissioners raised detailed concerns about parking geometry, required separation distances, and the applicant’s limited outreach to neighboring property owners. Commissioner Whitset and others noted apparent measurement discrepancies between the applicant’s drawings and zoning separation requirements. Commissioner Kelum said he was uncomfortable because the applicant had not engaged neighbors: “Estoy un poco incómodo… no se ha acercado a los vecinos y no ha tenido discusiones con ellos.” Kelum moved to deny the request; that motion failed on roll call. Commissioners then voted to continue the case for two weeks to allow the applicant to present clearer site plans, provide printed materials for commissioners’ review and conduct neighborhood outreach.

The commission directed the applicant to work with staff on parking layouts, mitigation (landscaping/fencing), and to bring copies of plans for the commissioners and neighbors at the continued hearing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Comisión de Zonificación - Mar 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission continued consideration of a rezoning request at 1817 Santa Mónica to allow commercial/guesthouse uses.

Applicant René La Fuente and prospective operator Vini Campos described a small-scale operation focused on lubrication, minor repairs and training opportunities: “Eso es algo que quiero expresar… sería algo más pequeño para reparaciones menores de un día,” Campos said. Staff noted the site sits in a commercial area and that the building would remain largely unchanged; the applicant proposed using existing parking and indicated three to four employees might operate the business.

Commissioners clarified permitted uses under different base districts and asked for operational conditions. Commissioner Reyes moved to approve a C1-CD classification with conditions including hours of operation and lighting directed downward; the motion specified hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and required downward-oriented lighting and passed on roll call. The approval included direction that the applicant follow city code for fencing and that any future expansion to heavier automotive repair would require a different zoning classification.

Staff said the site’s traffic impact was low and the property has existing customer parking. Commissioners and staff discussed the need to address bus stops near the property and to ensure the site plan manages customer circulation. Under the approved C1-CD conditions, the applicant must submit a site plan showing access, lighting and screening prior to permit issuance.","The San Antonio Zoning Commission approved a conditional C1 zoning (C1-CD) for an auto service use at Lot 47, Manzana 31, permitting limited lubrication and minor repairs with conditions including hours (7 a.m.–7 p.m.) and downward-directed lighting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6632445,"Commission approves liquor sales rezoning at 1246 S.

General McMullen after public comment from neighbors and discussion about state measurement rules for liquor-license proximity to churches.

Amin Giovanni, the applicant, said he has owned the property for 15 years and sought to re-activate a vacant storefront by opening a liquor sales business: “tengo una propiedad por quince años… Yo quisiera poner, personalmente, una venta de licores ahí.” Neighbors and a neighborhood association opposed the rezoning, citing concerns about crime and the proximity of a Pentecostal church. In a voicemail read into the record, neighborhood association president Hortensia Peña said, “Estoy oponiéndome a la venta de licor basado, está a trescientos metros de una iglesia,” and asked the commission to deny the rezoning.

Staff and the commission’s legal representative explained how statute and regulatory guidance measure distance for alcohol licenses. A staff/legal representative told the panel: “La ley del estado dice que es puerta a puerta la medida… se debe de medir de la línea recta del punto más cercano de los dos puntos,” and noted the department’s measurement—door-to-door via the prescribed crossing—was approximately 257 feet from the proposed business to the church’s front door.

Commissioners discussed neighborhood outreach, the applicant’s operating history with similar businesses and the need for applicant-to-church communication if the TABC later finds the site within the 300-foot limit. Commissioner Bustamante said he visited the neighborhood and spoke with residents and representatives of two neighborhood associations; he asked the applicant to provide contact information to the church pastor. The commission voted to approve the rezoning; the motion to approve was made from the dais and seconded by Commissioner Watson.

The approval includes no change to overlay districts noted in the staff report. Commissioners directed the applicant to coordinate with the church and neighbors on concerns such as fencing and security.","The San Antonio Zoning Commission approved an applicant’s request to rezone 1246 S. General McMullen to permit sale of alcohol.

The items included multiple zoning changes with conditions keeping existing overlays in place. Notably, case Z-2025-1070030 (item 10) would rezone property at 528 Iberly Road to allow development of an athletic field and related uses. Dozens of callers phoned in during public comment in support of the athletic complex, saying the vacant parcel is an eyesore and the field would provide supervised recreation for neighborhood youth.

Why it matters: Consent approvals bundle routine or non-controversial rezonings and forward them to the City Council; item 10 drew visible neighborhood support and will now be considered at the council level.

Commission President John Bustamante opened the meeting and listed the consent items before commissioners moved to approve the bundle. After public comment on item 10, a commissioner asked staff to follow up on lighting plans for the athletic complex; the applicant’s representative indicated they would work with neighbors and that lighting could be incorporated before the council hearing.

Multiple callers expressed support for the athletic complex. Caller Anthony Delgado said, “Quiero expresar mi apoyo por esta rezonificación… Es bueno para la comunidad,” and several other residents echoed that the facility would provide safe, supervised activities for children. Commissioners approved the consent items without pulling any for separate discussion; roll call was taken and the motion passed.

The approved consent items will appear on the City Council agenda within six months for final action. The commission asked staff and applicants to follow up with neighbors on details such as lighting before council consideration.","The San Antonio Zoning Commission approved six consent items — Nos. 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 12 — including a rezoning to allow a sports complex at 528 Iberly (case Z-2025-1070030). The consent bundle passed with no items pulled for separate debate and will be forwarded to City Council within six months.","actionData","errors"]
