The applicant, Endeavors, said the proposed facility would consolidate equipment currently stored in multiple locations and be used mainly to support emergency response work.

Planner Édone Gómez (staff) summarized the proposal and the recommended conditions from staff: vehicular access limited to De Zavala, a required buffer between the warehouse and adjacent residences, hours of operation limited to 8 a.m.–6 p.m. for routine activity, and reduced night-time lighting specifications to limit glare into residential yards. Commissioners heard one nearby resident ask that any new boundary fences match existing neighborhood fence heights and styles; neighbors said a consistent design and access for basic services was important.

Elizabeth Higgins (representing Endeavors) said the nonprofit has operated in San Antonio for decades and that the proposed use would primarily be storage for equipment used in disasters and emergencies; the site would not function as a high-intensity industrial yard in normal operations. A nearby resident asked that any eight-foot fence be optional and consistent with the neighborhood; staff clarified the code requires a minimum six-foot fence where commercial property abuts residential property but that an eight-foot fence must be specified in the ordinance language for the city to enforce it.

Commissioner González made the motion to approve the rezoning with the conditions described in the staff report; Commissioner Barros seconded. Commissioners voted in favor on a unanimous roll call. The staff report and recommended conditions will accompany the item to City Council for final action.

Clarifying details recorded during the hearing: the property is five acres (applicant said the site came from a church sale), neighbors requested a consistent fence design and limited hours; staff proposed conditions including vehicular access only from De Zavala, a 25-foot isolation/buffer along certain property lines, hours of operation limited to 8 a.m.–6 p.m. (with allowances for emergency response outside those hours), and reduced lighting to limit spillover into adjacent residential properties. The commission’s approval incorporated the recommended conditions but did not require an eight-foot fence by ordinance language unless explicitly written into the adopted conditions at council.

Why it matters: The vote allows Endeavors to consolidate storage and emergency-response equipment close to neighborhoods it serves while the conditions aim to reduce lighting, noise and traffic impacts on adjacent residential properties. Final zoning and any enforceable conditions will be adopted (or modified) by City Council.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Comisión de Zonificación Jul 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved a request to rezone 6131 De Zavala Road from R6 to C2/CD for a warehouse to consolidate Endeavors’ equipment, adding conditions on access, buffers, hours and lighting after neighbor input.","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},6518223,"Commission postpones proposed truck-driving school near Arboretum to allow more study and neighbor outreach",1147,1042000,2189000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5398858-92de4d2eab436cd26159e520eed0d7b1&start=1042&end=2189","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5398858-92de4d2eab436cd26159e520eed0d7b1/thumbnail_1042000.jpg","/articles/6518223/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Commission-postpones-proposed-truck-driving-school-near-Arboretum-to-allow-more-study-and-neighbor-outreach","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6518223-30659f6fee90971d308529b2a3c0b321/orig.mp4?Expires=1770433284&Signature=WSUHdhWkpRind~kN9NNNCgbYH9sL40IVE0hg2xNjMTPp9gIhiOlesZqiDJVUtF8gkoiH0nUaAnTzqAc3Z~Qwfo9fTSaMhylvoBtumfl8ChAwDNEKLXRMRuwsB9R73m4ingBYFWbuheNSaHPZX8nArQ8D1Tp9ORA5m7kKyoDG52XtLZuKhKiCibF21ORxxGnKPw3cASw01TNtBtGGYMeTrRKQVbHbuwiuMahsb8wz1WNWQBuqg3M9vRAHPvWwYK5ksiTLyEcc5EoRwof~3d2xEpg5IXEG7p8NUs3TRGTK76MsRFn1~7mAzBCLgrA8Bqnx8GB~s2gla8vzAOTrIEQZSA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Zoning Commission continued consideration of a rezoning request to allow a truck-driving school and truck storage on part of a roughly 27-acre property near the I-410 corridor to its Aug. 5 meeting, after the Arboretum of San Antonio and several commissioners asked for more study and coordination.

Samantha Benavides, a city planner, presented the case. The applicant’s representative said the overall site is about 27 acres and the applicant was requesting rezoning for approximately 5 acres along the roadway to accommodate the driving school and truck parking. The applicant said the location along I-410 made the site appropriate for truck access.

Adriana Quiñones, who identified herself as executive director and president of the Arboretum of San Antonio, told the commission the arboretum is not within the 200-foot noticing area and only recently learned of the proposal through Brooks authorities. Quiñones said the proposed site lies roughly “less than 3,000 feet” from the arboretum’s boundary and expressed concerns about noise, diesel emissions and how truck access could affect the arboretum’s planned entry points and emergency access. She asked the applicant and city staff to work with the arboretum on mitigation measures.

The applicant’s representative said the full 27-acre parcel contains commercial-zoned tracts and that only five acres were proposed for the rezoning; he indicated a willingness to coordinate on access and buffering. Commissioners discussed whether a lighter industrial district (I-1) or a site-specific industrial-light designation could better limit permitted uses while still allowing the driving school. Staff noted that an I-1 or an industrial-light designation typically requires site plans and specific UDC compliance (impervious cover, access, fencing and parking) at the development permit stage.

Commissioner Georgie Hinojosa moved to postpone the case to the Aug. 5 meeting to provide time for additional coordination; Commissioner Taylor Watson seconded the motion. The commission took a roll-call vote and the motion passed unanimously.

Clarifying details captured during the hearing: the site totals about 27 acres and the applicant requested rezoning for roughly 5 acres along the highway; the arboretum representative estimated the arboretum is within about 3,000 feet of the proposed area; staff noted main vehicular access is from Military Drive and any highway access would require TxDOT approvals during permit processes. The applicant and arboretum agreed to attempt to meet before the next hearing.

Why it matters: Commissioners cited the need for clearer site plans and neighborhood coordination before approving a use that includes large trucks near a planned public green space. The postponement gives staff and the applicant time to show detailed buffers, circulation plans and any mitigation for noise and emissions.","A proposal to rezone about 5 acres for a truck-driving school was continued to the commission's Aug. 5 meeting after the Arboretum of San Antonio and commissioners discussed potential noise, air and access impacts.",{"_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},6518228,"San Antonio zoning panel approves six rezonings, forwards cases to City Council; several items postponed",126,717000,843000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5398858-92de4d2eab436cd26159e520eed0d7b1&start=717&end=843","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5398858-92de4d2eab436cd26159e520eed0d7b1/thumbnail_717000.jpg","/articles/6518228/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/San-Antonio-zoning-panel-approves-six-rezonings-forwards-cases-to-City-Council-several-items-postponed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6518228-f7b14dbb8819864d692279a8a1274fbe/orig.mp4?Expires=1770433284&Signature=dF1x2R5a6Q8l4dR1bHNmIgx4LrEXV7qhq-Qd7zMK~fxdCZzvLkeZAC6Nmml8pU9e-ycEKJfdqK5zoy61q2gmd4yNNaM6ZUDYZ9Ux2-5uzt-1~6NK5aEMTo4gRQydNoATdSbIgMBq-wI3hU2Qdd1ckdnjK3PXoG6cVIQdxvDhIqEGEbOvg5MVVuxzY2LEhkH2vgFNYsf9PvAzi5~0vrSOyMokXKQoQJ5paUAT9QOizeCKnaepmjIxKqlTWbYXr9bCaaWorI0fu2MhKgb-4lay9KLFAWyUCSeoBaOrcQW-2EGK4iNV~cfMJRDRNnOlMoV2ur8f0K9NKpJYy28uz7MyDA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Zoning Commission on an afternoon meeting voted to recommend approval on six combined rezoning items (2, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 10) and took final votes on several other agendas, forwarding recommendations to City Council. Commissioners also postponed two separate cases to August dates after limited public comment and staff discussion.

The commission approved a grouped motion to recommend approval of agenda items 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 10. Commissioner Taylor Watson moved the grouped approval; Commissioner Marco Barros seconded. The roll call read as recorded on the meeting: Marco Barros, Rob Sipes, William Gonzanden, Daniel Calem, John Widsett, Taylor Watson, Georgie Hinojosa, Eddie Reyes and Commissioner Chase voted “yes.” President John Bustamante announced the motion carried. Those six items will be sent to City Council with the commission’s recommendation and (per commission procedure) the applicants have up to six months to present to council.

Public commenters addressed at least one of the grouped items (item 10), a request to rezone property for a funeral home with conditional use. Tito Recalde, who identified himself as an owner at the address involved, said the owners were not opposed to the change but asked that access be restored to parcels that lost access after earlier parcel changes. Patrick Blackward spoke against the funeral-home plan, saying the proposal’s proximity to houses and the presence of a crematorium could affect air quality, noise, traffic and property values. The commission approved the grouped motion despite these public comments; the public record and staff reports will travel with the case to council for final action.

The commission voted to postpone two separate items. Agenda item 1 was continued to the commission’s August 5 meeting after a motion by Commissioner Watson and a second by Commissioner Barros; the motion passed on a unanimous roll call. Agenda item 6 was continued to the August 19 meeting after a motion by Commissioner Watson and a second by Commissioner Barros; the motion likewise passed unanimously. Commissioners indicated no public comment on those postponement motions.

Separately, the commission approved additional individual rezonings later in the agenda and forwarded them to City Council with conditions or amendments as recorded in staff reports. Those included a rezoning for an auction/subasta relocation on the Southwest Loop 410 corridor (applicant amended its request to remove acreage from the application before the commission and the commission approved the amended application) and an approval for a change from R6 to an industrial district on Greasum/Grissom Road that staff and the applicant said aligns with long-standing industrial uses in that corridor.

The meeting ended with approval of the minutes from the previous meeting; the commission unanimously approved the minutes and adjourned.
