Emily Weiser, representing the property owner, said the site is suitable for restaurants, cafés or other neighborhood-serving businesses and noted the corner location and surrounding commercial uses. Staff recommended denial in favor of an NA alternative based on the Comprehensive Plan’s preferred land-use pattern, but the applicant and commissioners argued the site’s corner location and adjacent commercial parcels made C-2 reasonable for the parcel.

Commissioners asked about access and traffic; the applicant and staff said primary access would be from Steadwick (a side street), and commissioners included that access approach in their approval. The motion to approve was seconded and passed on a roll call.

Why it matters: the rezoning allows neighborhood-serving commercial uses at a prominent corner parcel; approval is contingent on the applicant returning with a conforming site plan that respects setbacks and rear-yard buffers for adjacent residences.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Comisión de Zonificación Jun 03, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved a rezoning of a two-acre corner parcel on Potranco Road to commercial (C-2), with conditions for access and site-plan compliance.","taxTitle","San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas","taxId",2771,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6676046,"Commission approves assisted-living conditional use with resident cap after parking and access concerns",1299,3842000,5141000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3647274-60ea3bfce7df7e5b47e0117fe94a5de5&start=3842&end=5141","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3647274-60ea3bfce7df7e5b47e0117fe94a5de5/thumbnail_3842000.jpg","/articles/6676046/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Commission-approves-assisted-living-conditional-use-with-resident-cap-after-parking-and-access-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6676046-01d2233206f24f37b42571da092ec562/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159926&Signature=DknRuQoYtF2wKx7YXsyzh825Sdmanj4TD3KKeanN9MI6qlf7GDJqQn4czyDUuuZNZ2z~CgFVsnKiKo962D1A75QzUQT93eSu8OawcmSs5eQDZeNGtKgJhEAA3GQspoahbcLM306mZ-6qNY6jQR-hwCIWSRcxkYMAnRpCG0UwM-kshMr1MgGRPJyxPjzD3fPYmCa084LD09azOcwNV6bAszOAJubHsKzTyQdMYS6wHRbvmwjNO6netF7EGoEG3DISeMFbLu97QUw9lATHd~Vb24u-nsPwAoUPuikzjRBkiyoXG~PnZWjaAj1cwgQzxsbvuCul22E5BeR6M7D~hp2tAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Zoning Commission approved a conditional-use request for an assisted-living residence at 4215 Hilton Head Street but amended the approval to limit occupied beds to eight residents and to require the site plan be updated to reflect that cap.

Applicant Carol Gamler told the commission she has operated the site as an eight-bed facility for roughly 17 years and that the property holds state licensing. Staff said the existing zoning would permit up to six residents without conditional use and that the request as filed sought authorization for more (the applicant initially sought up to 16). Commissioners raised concerns about parking, single access and the site’s fit within the neighborhood. Commissioner discussion repeatedly returned to whether the lot could safely accommodate increased resident capacity and additional parking demand; references were made to city fire and occupancy standards and to the Unified Development Code.

Commissioner Wisset moved to approve with a friendly amendment to limit permitted residents to eight and direct the applicant to amend the site plan accordingly; the motion passed. The applicant accepted the amendment on the record. Commissioners noted that the applicant previously operated under state licensing and that neighbors did not present opposition in person; the Northern Hills Neighborhood Association submitted a letter reported in the record as supportive or non-opposed.

Why it matters: the amendment reduces the scope of the authorized use from the originally requested upper limit (up to 16) to the eight residents the applicant had been operating under, and it requires the applicant to submit a site plan that demonstrates parking and access compliance before further action at City Council.

Next steps: Planning staff will expect a revised site plan showing the eight-resident limit and updated parking arrangements before the item proceeds to City Council for final action.

Direct quote from the applicant during the hearing: “We’ve had this home for 17 years … we have the state license and we’ve not had problems,” (Carol Gamler, applicant).","The commission approved a conditional-use permit for an assisted-living home but amended the approval to cap residents at eight and required the applicant to update the site plan to reflect the limit.",{"_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},6676056,"Zoning commission denies vehicle-sales rezoning after neighbors cite oil stains, tires and alley blockages",879,1777000,2656000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3647274-60ea3bfce7df7e5b47e0117fe94a5de5&start=1777&end=2656","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3647274-60ea3bfce7df7e5b47e0117fe94a5de5/thumbnail_1777000.jpg","/articles/6676056/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Zoning-commission-denies-vehicle-sales-rezoning-after-neighbors-cite-oil-stains-tires-and-alley-blockages","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6676056-c2dfa05050c5656374f64e850179be4d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159926&Signature=Wo902ewWrNs0R08Ry5cIjVD7tGXMDhzDQgTenAsvt09fT6-aK1ROrymIO4bP-xWbKA03yhtt~Y50fq9m-eCYYrHC7SYVS4EPDa8-hBxITzMZDBczLzu8lbyFeM6qknbntfPVi27Tts87BBI5Cdtc~7euREcO-y8JJmCmPS3ddFERGqeL3ycuSEr0Vl4-v0OH2PZKCX3lqV5RrJosuWJgSjbMvZvWMa6YFeN41-76ObU8GGMBfKxIsddmJ2Lv4l6ao~HwRIkIp8bwxoqxUR~blkz-Tq8JshGR~C1qCHlS62dPezkZHXM3xIrDtX9NG6LUOq36VXssMXHjTczKZpERZA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Zoning Commission voted to deny a rezoning and conditional-use request tied to motor vehicle sales and related activity at a property near Sanders Avenue and Zarzamora after residents described years of nuisance behavior on the lot.

Chair John Bustamante presided over the hearing in which neighbors urged denial. Resident Frank Sánchez, who identified himself as living at the adjacent property, told the commission he remained opposed: “Todavía estoy en oposición de cualquier cualquier actualización de zonificación con el uso condicionado de vehículos motorizados.” Neighbors described piles of tires, oil stains on pavement, rodents and standing water that attracts mosquitoes, and repeated obstruction of alley trash collection. Anne Sánchez, another neighbor, said paint odors and visible vehicle work had been an ongoing problem for two decades.

Staff presented the request as a change that would allow motor-vehicle sales and noted the applicant was not present when staff read the recommendation. Commissioners questioned whether the lot could be conditioned to prevent the kinds of operations neighbors described; several commissioners said the site’s current and historical use suggested the conditional allowance had already been abused. One commissioner summarized the neighborhood’s testimony, noting repeated complaints about environmental impacts and alley access and saying that the proposal was not appropriate adjacent to single-family homes.

On the record, the commission voted to deny the request. Chair Bustamante told the property owner and neighbors that an applicant who receives a denial from the commission retains the right to pursue City Council review and that the applicant has up to six months to bring the matter to the council. The commission also advised outreach and corrective measures for any unresolved code compliance issues on the property.

What happened next: The commission declared the motion to deny passed and closed the item. Staff and the commission advised the applicant to pursue compliance prior to any council filing.

Why it matters: The decision prevents a formal local authorization for motor-vehicle sales or an intensive vehicle-related commercial operation at a site directly adjacent to single-family homes. Neighbors had argued the operation on the ground created persistent quality-of-life and environmental concerns.","After extensive public comment, the commission denied a rezoning request tied to vehicle sales and repair near a single-family block, citing environmental and quality-of-life concerns.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6676064,"San Antonio Zoning Commission: votes, postponements and approvals at a glance",0,134000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3647274-60ea3bfce7df7e5b47e0117fe94a5de5&start=134&end=134","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3647274-60ea3bfce7df7e5b47e0117fe94a5de5/thumbnail_134000.jpg","/articles/6676064/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/San-Antonio-Zoning-Commission-votes-postponements-and-approvals-at-a-glance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6676064-d0daac66462a29fa1ff77be5c9b228a7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159926&Signature=NZdAKbu6WV95MQacWx7LCoe7gFGQ6CwMUoFswc8lkR2Vr0zwE94xWP-w5av6guUTZj89NHDopqz3Dsqsw24SM1SPWBaLDYPNSd9SV546wmaKzADbiLa73VuJ2ZsLRG4S8vKn7eRumNpDgBxPEVHb2PjKaCfXroYWmoP6hJsUirIa0FbgGvH4pE8e9SmziiVbGbuwLJNZ3oJN-k-UODP51UDkKOoPAbcNBeTIfunjqh4N1~fk6cAWGn3yEyWGOhkn6JjFb93ls6V3YKSphxYHdxhNUHaE-PZr7w290vxq8wvkYmIgEl1et7~yaCMOcv8w-H5MqO61rJstjN13olxBQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Zoning Commission on the afternoon of the hearing took action on a range of rezonings and conditional-use requests, approving multiple items, denying one proposal for vehicle sales adjacent to a single-family neighborhood, and postponing four items for later review.

The commission approved two consent items (items 3 and 10), denied item 5 (a request tied to vehicle sales adjacent to residences), approved rezonings at 7630 Potranco Road (item 7) and 5050 Rogers (item 8), approved a conditional-use amendment for an assisted-living home with an amendment limiting residents to eight (item 11), and approved a mixed-use/storage proposal with an acreage amendment (item 13). Items 4, 6, 9 and 12 were continued to a combined City Council hearing in two weeks at the request of staff and/or the council office.

Why it matters: several of the items involved changes from single-family residential to commercial or commercial uses adjacent to neighborhoods; the commission’s decisions will determine which cases proceed to City Council and which applicants must wait or revise plans. The denial of item 5 follows sustained neighborhood opposition citing environmental, parking and nuisance concerns; the approval of item 11 was conditional on a reduced resident cap and an amended site plan.

Key outcomes and next steps (by agenda item):

- Item 3 (consent): Rezoning request from SD to allow two single-family homes at 301 East Street. Commission recommended approval and passed on consent. Applicant may proceed to City Council for final action or follow-up as required.

- Item 10 (consent): Rezoning of a single-family residential lot to allow two single-family homes at 1144 West French Place; staff noted notifications were sent and recommended continuation because of missing information, but commissioners approved consent as amended/placed on the docket. (A voicemail from the Beacon Hill neighborhood association requested continuation; commissioners nevertheless moved the consent action.)

- Items 4, 6, 9, 12: Continued/postponed. The commission voted to defer these items for two weeks; proponents, opponents and staff were told to return at the combined hearing with additional information and neighborhood outreach as applicable.

- Item 5 (406 Sanders/Zarzamora area): Denied. Neighbors presented repeated public testimony opposing vehicle sales, repairs and storage adjacent to single-family homes. Commissioners cited evidence of oil stains, piled tires, rodent and mosquito complaints, and traffic/alleys blocked by vehicles as reasons the proposed change was not appropriate. The applicant has up to six months to file with City Council to pursue the request further.

- Item 7 (7630 Potranco Road): Approved (R-6 to C-2). Applicant described a 2-acre corner site without a finalized site plan, proposing neighborhood-serving commercial uses such as restaurants and cafés; staff recommended an NA alternative but commissioners voted to approve the C-2 rezoning with conditions tied to site plan review and access (primary access to be via Steadwick rather than Potranco).

- Item 8 (5050 Rogers): Approved. Staff had recommended denial for a commercial contractor use in a primarily residential block; the Planning Commission recommended approval and the Zoning Commission approved as presented.

- Item 11 (4215 Hilton Head Street): Approved with amendment. Applicant sought conditional use for an assisted-living residence “up to 16 residents.” After discussion of parking, access and neighborhood context, commissioners accepted an amendment to limit the permitted residents to eight and to require the site plan be amended to reflect that limit. Section 35-3-76(a) of the Unified Development Code was cited in discussion of conditional-use limits.

- Item 13 (Royal Ridge): Approved with amendment to the legal description/acreage on the site plan (applicant amended the site area to reflect corrected acreage). Neighbors who reviewed the plan expressed support at the hearing.

Other business: The commission approved minutes from the May 20, 2025 meeting and received a brief director’s report noting ongoing legislative activity that may affect local zoning rules.

Votes and procedural notes: For each action, commissioners announced votes on the record. Where the record shows a formal roll call, the commission recorded affirmative votes and the chair declared the motion passed. In compliance with commission rules, items denied or approved at this meeting may still be appealed or placed before City Council for final action per the applicant’s rights.

Provenance: The actions summarized above are taken from the hearing record and public comments in the commission transcript.
