The applicant said the property would serve young people aging out of foster care, initially housing six residents with the potential to accommodate up to eight under zoning; the operator described services including job training, therapy and case management and said residents would be supervised and connected to employment and education opportunities.

Neighbors voiced alarm that some nearby residents are elderly and rely on on-street access; callers and attendees described past problems with vacancy and trespass at the property and asked for clearer information and direct neighborhood outreach. Several residents said they had not received adequate notice of the proposal.

Commissioners and staff discussed parking requirements, with staff noting the minimum parking standard of 0.3 spaces per bed plus one per employee, a calculation that would likely translate to about four on-site spaces for an eight-bed facility. Commissioners encouraged the applicant to meet with neighbors, provide clearer outreach and establish a point of contact.

After discussion, commissioners voted to continue the case to Sept. 2 to allow the applicant time to meet neighbors and return with additional documentation and outreach.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Comisión de Zonificación Aug 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A proposal to operate transitional housing for 18–24-year-olds at 334 Como drew heavy public comment from elderly residents and was continued to allow more neighborhood outreach and clarification.","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},6503166,"Commission approves permit to sell beer with meals at 318 Historical Highway despite staff recommendation to deny",346,2492000,2838000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5602188-0b301fee846c20e225ea7c466078adbf&start=2492&end=2838","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5602188-0b301fee846c20e225ea7c466078adbf/thumbnail_2492000.jpg","/articles/6503166/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Commission-approves-permit-to-sell-beer-with-meals-at-318-Historical-Highway-despite-staff-recommendation-to-deny","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6503166-169dcc4328320110b81980d4c25c325d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770406004&Signature=TGwiEVVQews1VvGtAR~~RdKIigv1UB8pJEehk-ZMYYt2CjzoBM5pkf-z3KrzzP0uqGkt95~XPxKhMFDIEaaZ0BDqveYSL8pVq3DQRqALYvZ~JJTDyPborrZzKnIK948IkUIpoc2UKmL9wqtmoYQTVi5AdEDSnkv~OtmRly3jp0oOv7R-MEvaKRer9SRaUjeaEz~060IgLrQbJ2xLYux1XmQLEe-LOPnfqNWNmYZizCBgQxYeEm6N6zVn8eUxbQ5eb7OkmWy4vMvJLkPN2gYRqOGAMuWc7x0-cLBkqMr5UTHhTYVPsF1krReWqnPY-NZFUwrTrNFmILn~S6LKD11Ftw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The commission approved a rezoning request that would allow the sale of beer with meals at a restaurant at 318 Historical Highway, reversing a staff recommendation to deny the change.

Development Services staff said the site sits adjacent to multifamily zoning and reported mixed notice responses; staff recommended denial based on neighborhood compatibility and floor-use recommendations. The applicant’s representative, Humberto Yell, said the owner is investing in building renovations, does not intend live entertainment, and plans to limit alcohol sales to customers purchasing food. He described the establishment as a family restaurant and said the change would support small-business revenue.

Commissioners expressed sympathy for struggling small restaurants and referenced neighborhood outreach and the association’s support. After discussion, a motion to approve the request carried. Commissioners also discussed operating hours and the absence of live music or similar uses as conditions described by the applicant.

The approval allows the restaurant to sell beer with meals at the times discussed at the hearing; staff will process any required permits and ensure conditions are reflected in the approval.","The commission approved a request to allow on-site sale of beer with food at a Historical Highway restaurant despite staff recommending denial; supporters said the change would help small-business viability.",{"_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},6503172,"Commission continues rezoning case for Boxwood Road property after neighbor protests",377,1675000,2052000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5602188-0b301fee846c20e225ea7c466078adbf&start=1675&end=2052","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5602188-0b301fee846c20e225ea7c466078adbf/thumbnail_1675000.jpg","/articles/6503172/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Commission-continues-rezoning-case-for-Boxwood-Road-property-after-neighbor-protests","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6503172-31d2eba86b2cbc741151728eb3751164/orig.mp4?Expires=1770406004&Signature=kCttN0MII8q9sKfAGOi7FFR9xCLdGBdPqvIp3ZuLmCmTjyo~t1H8snrDcbOezXo2D-8SC8Nua3fcPKbAMAW1TPyOFOccT2NCKvBzZby08gpbNG4XQEv3HXet34Ziuxk8ttvqXYrb7S4Cwvv~Qb4mC17ksvU~NtV02UKDQrr7y8rNHu3Jq46P5AOA-N8hGOIp6Nay9FW2Vz3G8wm~X7YdkZfUloZjhuXafR3TvYgou0rlj06zrTWWTAr0sXISU-OJSzW~YfDp7MTR~o4i0spM4HBKUaDvISQwVHAOVl3QCxXVAxjCUDYHUBWE4FUPN06lbVLcsyvWc06pJN8nTiIjDw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The commission continued consideration of a rezoning request for 4211 Boxwood Road after public comment raised concerns about neighborhood notice, property use and longstanding disputes between neighbors and the applicant.

Staff described the proposal as a request to rezone the site to allow up to R-6 density to enable three single-family homes on the combined lots. The applicant’s representative, Elizabeth Freezel, said the plan was for three single-family houses, not duplexes or apartments, and that the owner would remove an existing metal structure on the site as part of the project.

Several callers and residents spoke in opposition, saying the property has caused disturbances and that changing the zoning could worsen traffic and lower nearby property values. One caller said notices were not received by some neighbors; the preservation society asked that the case be postponed so the neighborhood association could receive notices and participate.

Commissioner Hinojosa and others urged the applicant to meet with neighbors. After discussion, the commission voted to continue the case to the commission’s September 2 meeting to allow outreach and additional information to be provided to neighbors.

The applicant indicated willingness to meet neighbors and to provide translations or interpreters if needed; staff confirmed the request to amend to R-6 was intended to simplify site planning because R-6 allows the proposed lot and unit count within existing standards.","A rezoning request for 4211 Boxwood Road was continued for two weeks after neighbors raised concerns and requests for more outreach.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6503176,"Commission OKs professional office use on Houston Street with restricted hours",583,1030000,1613000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5602188-0b301fee846c20e225ea7c466078adbf&start=1030&end=1613","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5602188-0b301fee846c20e225ea7c466078adbf/thumbnail_1030000.jpg","/articles/6503176/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Commission-OKs-professional-office-use-on-Houston-Street-with-restricted-hours","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6503176-30e06ccaebd91f2b89735ec54e4581c7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770406004&Signature=UYRhDsxqwO-b0zxIOIN6e3YTmjzmQ2UyzLXzy5tdP~HJFXzmfILSTo345fpkUMYK0rLK6ubYtkG4z5KuC4Ti5Q98TeohwYG6e~lLgTB0gC92IX2HCK0jh4CUIpzb7fR3j9xJyzQCpSgDkfQT6OC0GadFn6w8TDRfNvc26N8nGQHTIkP5d~akXYC7qnOB4cyN5L7-dJp2PJI69NcS6NbLRwk3x5R9X5tsimxMiHraUXTTpQ5-wNoroXRP87RaVg1Am98Gw6gkk1xn0OUC-wZN2qWvYtY2XBsI3aqFP77UbQjr6q0H43YJhyGyp8T43M99OO5B4oZ04e0c-cNpjnP82A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Zoning Commission approved a request to amend an existing commercial district to permit a professional office at a property on Houston Street, adding a condition limiting hours of operation.

A representative for the applicant, Reyna Sense, told the commission the intended use was a notary public office operating by appointment Monday through Friday. Commissioner Chase proposed—and the commission adopted—an amended condition to restrict hours to 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to reduce traffic impacts for nearby residents.

Staff earlier described the site as located in a commercial district adjacent to single-family homes and reported that eight notices were sent: two in favor and two opposed; the nearby Jefferson Heights association did not respond within the 200-foot notice area. The commission noted that any deviation from the stipulated use would require additional review.

During discussion, commissioners asked about parking and site access; the applicant said parking would be accommodated in a rear lot and that customers would be by appointment. Commissioner Chase said the amended hours were intended to give neighborhood flexibility while respecting the applicant’s business needs.

The motion to approve, including the 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. hours condition, passed on a commission vote.","The commission approved a rezoning to allow professional office use at a Houston Street property, amending operating hours to limit impacts on the neighborhood.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6503181,"Zoning commission approves eight rezonings in grouped vote",775,248000,1023000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5602188-0b301fee846c20e225ea7c466078adbf&start=248&end=1023","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5602188-0b301fee846c20e225ea7c466078adbf/thumbnail_248000.jpg","/articles/6503181/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Zoning-commission-approves-eight-rezonings-in-grouped-vote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6503181-f18a631ad7c6ac91e2babb54b891ab93/orig.mp4?Expires=1770406004&Signature=iwogSL5ywG7-Thw4O1~ZQA2GLZYdcfkAQDdjoW0y-AeYRDyS7LvYWZDetPUqVZgqsVlZW5Zo8TQnVBp4xObWBo4EIm~sevf~EfUxd-GRUX75kqACAHNw64ORApRGFRXWD94nIyKa~zDPcJi8JJTNu6n9t7Puhi4CDcYSVuZDUIKHuEf8F3gRDpoY16aXl0YtwXlhwa5kcbNOHfgFY8PhNrZKmNi1wgDB~RpIZBPp5TcOM80YcyKsmbyLORbXF0vn1oIuPEyIoT7PTkUp8U9K0YZ1KAjhCSX0G35bePuzaL992Bc6dQPCpHkmTd3wwDtGmRi~I7Gp6XEEn0gvL~2qRg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Zoning Commission voted to approve a bundle of eight rezoning items after a single motion during a regularly scheduled hearing.

The approved items were listed on the agenda as numbers 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 13. Commission staff noted required notifications were sent for each case; neighborhood associations responded for some items and not for others. Commissioners recorded their votes at the roll call and the motion passed. The chair said applicants have six months to complete the rezoning process.

The commission began the session by confirming quorum and reading the agenda of zoning cases. After public comment and staff presentations, the commission offered an omnibus motion to approve the item group with no further discussion. The chair called the roll and the motion passed without a separate recorded breakdown in the transcript.

The commission did not provide detailed debate on each of these eight items during the bundled vote. Members of the public had been given an opportunity to speak on items when they were called earlier in the hearing; staff confirmed notification counts and whether neighborhood associations provided formal responses.

The action advances the listed rezonings to the next step in the city process; under the commission’s announcement, applicants have six months to complete the required steps for final consideration.

A schedule change and additional individual hearings for other agenda items were handled separately later in the meeting.","The San Antonio Zoning Commission approved eight rezoning requests in a bundled motion and advanced several other items for later consideration and hearings.","actionData","errors"]
