The commission voted to approve consent agenda items 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 and 11 as amended where noted by staff. Those items include rezoning requests across the city (locations and summarized uses were read into the record by staff). The staff report showed that notifications were sent to nearby property owners; most items recorded no public opposition and some neighborhood associations indicated support. The motion to approve the consent agenda carried on a recorded roll call vote.

Earlier in the meeting staff announced that items 1, 7 and 8 had been postponed or withdrawn and would not be heard at this session; those applicants were advised they would receive notice of new hearing dates. The commission also voted to postpone agenda item 10 to the Commission’s Oct. 7 meeting after public voice messages expressing opposition were entered into the record.

The body approved the meeting minutes and formal corrections by voice vote. The commission adjourned after noting a forthcoming vacancy in the vice‑chair position and announcing that the vacancy and nominations will appear on the next agenda.

All approved items on the consent agenda will be transmitted to the San Antonio City Council for final action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Comisión de Zonificación Sep 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The San Antonio Zoning Commission approved multiple consent rezoning items, postponed three items earlier from today’s agenda, and postponed a separate case (item 10) to Oct. 7; minutes were approved by the commission.","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},6472583,"Commission approves rezoning to allow cell tower near Perea Avenue with reduced setback",1110,1862000,2972000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5776219-477d639c855921069d98078ca850b396&start=1862&end=2972","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5776219-477d639c855921069d98078ca850b396/thumbnail_1862000.jpg","/articles/6472583/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Commission-approves-rezoning-to-allow-cell-tower-near-Perea-Avenue-with-reduced-setback","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6472583-b6636afeb2254ad01792b660c534b06b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159149&Signature=QHofzRU8IqmLpL0lA~0Ssw8SBjN3qi5xHs6E4SuyYu2n9BlhCqnaSCjrDT17XNiL2NG5xalbQt7sss4QNgn2b676cNYe26dJ-pcowMvWv3kxEApGneVsLVM39fVevUm-yPGeVQslD6wMu0ExFH950zVd5J8AKBWped90FEpnE1LETDLngTHuqR0zOCm01L~NdfkYc-Fgyy~My6HyCaz2Ow2ycXHKdHkg7I1P3oniidAfjw-pzvsC64yjE58WMe7uHMZ69GkqaUnB1-21npFL92bIZqNyUI8g~v8rjLBD9ofgQTJ3n3wOe8VdM2J0RfL8FxKu5yvtbQVBysNMRSSCWg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Zoning Commission approved a rezoning request for 603 Perea Avenue on Tuesday that would permit a wireless communications tower and a mixed‑use designation, including authorization for a tower the applicants described as roughly 165 to 190 feet tall.

Planning staff, represented by Samantha Benavides, recommended denial, noting the proposed change would alter the residential character of the lot. The applicant team said they had met with nearby residents and presented radio‑coverage maps showing gaps the tower would fill; an AT&T representative said the facility would host multiple carriers and support FirstNet for first responders.

Applicants asked the commission to reduce the code‑required 200‑foot separation between a tower and the nearest single‑family residence by about 3.5 feet and to adjust the measurement line 10 feet north as part of an amended site plan. The commission considered whether the tower would allow future residential redevelopment on the parcel and whether the requested setback reduction was appropriate under the zoning code. Commissioners also noted federal and state laws limit municipal review of radiofrequency (RF) safety, and staff said the city is prohibited from ruling on RF health issues under telecommunications law.

The applicant’s representative, Vince Heming, and Paige Johnson of AT&T presented neighborhood outreach, coverage maps and said the tower would increase service capacity and support emergency‑services communications. Commissioners heard that the parcel sits in a triangular pocket surrounded by commercial zoning on multiple sides, which the applicants cited as support for a mixed‑use designation.

Following discussion, the commission approved the rezoning with the amendment to adjust the setback and measurement line; commissioners voted to send the case to City Council. The motion passed on the recorded vote shown in the record.

The transcript records that commissioners debated code section 35‑5‑2 (the zoning code provision allowing council discretion on setback reductions) and that staff reiterated limits on municipal authority to evaluate RF emissions. The case will be transmitted to City Council for final action.","The Zoning Commission voted to rezone a property on Perea Avenue to allow a wireless communications tower (requested heights ~165–190 ft), granting a small reduction to the 200‑foot residential setback and sending the case to City Council.",{"_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},6472589,"Zoning panel approves rezoning for assisted-living development near Saltillo Street",991,869000,1860000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5776219-477d639c855921069d98078ca850b396&start=869&end=1860","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5776219-477d639c855921069d98078ca850b396/thumbnail_869000.jpg","/articles/6472589/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Zoning-panel-approves-rezoning-for-assisted-living-development-near-Saltillo-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6472589-28d69f2971b825934cf13c4a808e8917/orig.mp4?Expires=1771159149&Signature=RQVeSIYj-0JulRvyxv~cRKweSboOCYYUthtGK6nXnX8TAnxH6~y1xmHAN9KQespI~RCxjH-LTS3eKS5FAkP2nApi-PIrsxMdOnwkzedfNcwgXe-W2edQZCELNBL8T49V0AfRVkoSZe9L5pbXvUkhGvVJLiL0gje~mFP6kZPMmZjEwlTfpP~KtBNnwhwtKJDRaUH8vW9yF0SR4K3aoc1UaKEMpqGhmMDwFEB~2Z4uSnnwGQnApPnQFyXTYnJOqQhd86chlYVW2cswmHk4SNH4HlLk-lfJudj4c-g3i0eIXRqz3LpirWkZKlc9IEcSKg8JvvnrlHnvYlig7gOjHRugqg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Zoning Commission on Tuesday approved a rezoning request to allow an assisted‑living/multifamily development on Saltillo Street in District 5.

Staff and the applicant described the proposal as a conversion of existing buildings to serve assisted‑living and residential uses and said the site would contain multiple small buildings with on‑site staffing and security. The commission voted to rezone the property from R‑5 to M‑25, overruling concerns from one commissioner and after discussion about density, resident counts and compatibility with nearby single‑family homes.

The project was introduced by Samantha Benavides of the City’s Planning and Zoning staff, who said the request would allow a multifamily use on the lot and described the staff recommendation in favor. A person identifying themself as the property owner (address given as 1714/1730 Saltillo Street) said the development would provide assisted‑living units, employ local landscapers and cleaners, and include on‑site security and a nurse or nursing assistant on duty.

Commissioners questioned density and how the development would be regulated. Staff said zoning rules limit licensed assisted‑living/residential care uses to six residents by right; any increase beyond that would require a conditional use permit. Commissioners also discussed parking, traffic and noise mitigation for upper‑floor units; the applicant said sound‑reduction materials would be installed between floors.

Some commissioners voiced divided views. Supporters noted the site backs onto a park and argued that assisted‑living is an appropriate transition use; others said the parcel sits amid single‑family homes and expressed concern about the density change. Commissioners ultimately approved the rezoning by recorded vote; Commissioner Kelly cast the lone “no.” The motion to approve was made by President John Bustamante and seconded by Commissioner Rodson.

With the approval the case will move to the San Antonio City Council for final action.

The record includes staff clarifications that the application documents and oral statements differed on unit counts: the applicant described 12 units across four buildings (three units per building), while staff materials described a 14‑unit development. The zoning staff reiterated that permitted resident counts — not unit counts alone — drive certain review thresholds under current code.","The San Antonio Zoning Commission approved a rezoning request to allow a small assisted‑living/multifamily development on Saltillo Street after debate over density, resident limits and neighborhood impacts.","actionData","errors"]
