The approvals forward the matters to City Council for final action; the continuance means item 10 will return to the commission on Oct. 7.

Staff announced that item 4 would be amended to remove the property at 3851 Culebra Road from the proposed changes; staff confirmed the amendment on the record before the vote. Public comment included voice mail support from Cynthia Walker on a case identified as Z2025100700200; Walker said she was calling “for Beacon Hill Neighborhood Association” in support of a historic landmark designation. Two voice mails opposed item 10 (a requested zoning change for a barbershop at 302 East Sunshine Drive): Janet Hernandez and Osiris Kent both left messages saying they opposed commercial zoning for that location and asked to be counted as opposed.

Motion and votes for combined hearing: Commissioner Rob Sipes moved approval of items 3, 4 as amended, 5, 6, 9 and 11; Commissioner Bartos seconded. Roll call showed the motion carried (record indicates unanimous votes in favor by the commissioners present). Staff confirmed the amended language for item 4 before the motion was made.

Motion and vote for continuance: Commissioner Sipes moved to continue item 10 to the Oct. 7 meeting; Commissioner Bartos seconded. The motion carried on roll call.

Other routine business: The commission approved the meeting minutes by acclamation, and the chair announced a forthcoming vice‑chair vacancy and a planned election for vice chair (and pro tem should pro tem be elevated). Approved items and the continued item have been recorded and will follow the standard referral and re‑notice processes as applicable.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Zoning Commission Sep 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved combined hearing items 3, 4 (as amended), 5, 6, 9 and 11 and voted to continue item 10 to the Oct. 7 meeting; the votes move the approved items to City Council for review.","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},6472576,"Zoning commission approves wireless‑communications tower with minor setback reduction on Priut Avenue",1107,1876000,2983000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5776231-79ee6c8562cfe2c9255cf72b0b071b62&start=1876&end=2983","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5776231-79ee6c8562cfe2c9255cf72b0b071b62/thumbnail_1876000.jpg","/articles/6472576/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Zoning-commission-approves-wirelesscommunications-tower-with-minor-setback-reduction-on-Priut-Avenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6472576-fac981991cc96035581702e6a3e76f48/orig.mp4?Expires=1771107742&Signature=I54hs9uwH9Pa4ueIDrWKWtljaNyBdZq1XHUckyIV-acAdv5wb8U6pnN~jU-MxyTZ86RRjVaCohj~JkFnSe3bbyIwn0lMPdS00OIEbvkX2eMEQpDdVQ4mzbrXQ1O-9DyxrmEuVUDXW2owMfxFsM-EpwxCL56gTyF4O-9kGBWbcBpc30v12r5naANKWaPjA6bBl6tC~4Y5gBRa69iuHpEgVjzKl-4WLC5s9f5hL8s1V057QvPhqBlMfHoMxpHu0bDokdPlGFqt9tU6KF8E1xu1LfGpGvuEwdI~FptaL1cCQZGdTDANPDi~zTpf2rW40ayuo4re~-vXNKymNpiaKoDeGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of San Antonio Zoning Commission voted to approve a rezoning and specific‑use authorization to allow a wireless communications monopole at 603 Priut Avenue, with the applicant amending the application to move the monopole farther from nearby homes so the setback to the nearest residence measures 196.5 feet. Commissioner Chase moved for approval as amended; Commissioner Kellum seconded. The motion carried on a roll call vote.

Samantha Benavides, zoning planner with Development Services, recommended denial, saying the proposal ‘‘is not appropriate’’ because the applicant planned to demolish the existing residence and could not meet the standard 200‑foot setback from established single‑family homes under the Unified Development Code (UDC). The applicant amended the application to RM5S (residential mixed) with a specific‑use authorization and submitted a revised site plan showing the monopole pushed back to achieve 196.5 feet to the nearest residential structure.

Vince Huebinger, representing the landowner and tower interests, described a neighborhood meeting and said the team “pressed that site as far back as we possibly can.” He said the parcel is a small triangular lot surrounded on three sides by commercial uses and interstate right‑of‑way, and he presented coverage maps showing existing signal gaps and projected improvements. Huebinger said AT&T will deploy FirstNet capability on the site for first responder communications. AT&T representative Paige Johnson said, “we are supportive.”

Benavides told commissioners the UDC treats setbacks differently depending on whether the base zone is residential or nonresidential: a tower in a residential base zone must be 200 feet from the nearest residential structure, whereas commercial base zones measure from the residential property line; council can reduce the 200‑foot distance per UDC provisions. Commissioners discussed the change in measured distance and the corrected measurement method; the applicant explained an initial staff filing had used an incorrect baseline and that the amended site plan corrects that.

Commissioners who supported approval described the 3.5‑foot reduction from the 200‑foot guideline as de minimis in light of coverage needs and the applicant’s effort to maximize separation. The roll call vote on the motion recorded all voting commissioners in favor.

Roll call recorded: Chair John Bustamante — aye; Commissioner Kellum — yes; Commissioner Nejosa — yes; Commissioner Pete Rodriguez — yes; Commissioner Sipes — yes; Commissioner Kelly — yes; Commissioner Barros — yes; Commissioner Whitsett — yes; Commissioner Chase — yes. The motion carried.

The record shows 14 notices mailed for the application with no return responses in favor or opposed; Collins Gardens Neighborhood Association returned no response. The applicant and staff exchanged details about what development could occur on the parcel if the tower were built (staff noted residential construction within the setback may be constrained). The commission’s recommendation will proceed to City Council within the standard referral period for final action.","The commission approved rezoning to allow a wireless communications tower at 603 Priut Avenue with a reduced setback of 196.5 feet from the nearest residence after the applicant amended the site plan to push the monopole back; AT&T will use FirstNet service on the new site.",{"_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},6472581,"Zoning commission approves rezoning for assisted-living and multi‑family project on Southfield Street",974,889000,1863000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5776231-79ee6c8562cfe2c9255cf72b0b071b62&start=889&end=1863","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5776231-79ee6c8562cfe2c9255cf72b0b071b62/thumbnail_889000.jpg","/articles/6472581/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Zoning-commission-approves-rezoning-for-assisted-living-and-multifamily-project-on-Southfield-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6472581-fabf44f3d105169d355483a84becefaf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771107742&Signature=IrrMelosCTZ0R4RlrIl43W6gQg3tHV1u-T5knzZjf-dgbxCHqS418L~setr8IXt3Ar7V9yeO2sMMKx9uDLJifjXUVp4U8M0WnsSjYWw6w5l5kl0Rsf3wlHBmURCob67dsD1pHz9BHdPrzdolV6zrBKwGXc4XHU3OLW21Ohpp63DHzehOK8nI4cfIqMLawe9UruiGHJeQgFRvhXtWh-gCKzAMkNEYsoyuCsfSA9o2T4gh3bivrErf9k3rVCD6ho4C8EAdcu~JXYEd2~5duChaeqiH0C8CPO5FQtWCLbSdBdVW09EYgkWK89sEswm13R59PWAsd0Uf4LKiny-zZjj61A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of San Antonio Zoning Commission voted to approve a rezoning of 1714 and 1730 Southfield Street from R5 (residential single‑family) to MF25 (low‑density multifamily) at its regularly noticed meeting; the motion passed on a roll call vote after discussion on density and use. Chair John Bustamante made the motion; Commissioner Woodsett seconded. The rezoning will advance to City Council for final action.

The request would allow a development the applicant described as a 12‑unit project with the ground‑floor units intended for assisted‑living residents and upper‑floor units intended for short‑term rental to medical staff. Samantha Benavides, zoning planner with Development Services, told commissioners staff recommended denial, saying the proposed use was “not consistent with the established development pattern of the surrounding area” and that surrounding lots are zoned R4 and R5. Benavides added the zoning analysis uses the number of residents rather than units: “they would be permitted, what is permitted by right is the assisted living up to 6 residents at this moment. So they would need a conditional use if they wanted to increase those residents.”

Applicant Charles Talbert, who identified himself as the owner, said the development is intended to serve older residents and would provide services and local contracting work. Talbert described the project as “not a 12 unit apartment complex. It's a residential assisted living,” and said the proximity to a park behind the site makes the location suitable. He told commissioners the plan includes four new buildings plus an existing house that is currently rented; he said the lower units would be used for assisted‑living residents and the upper units for traveling medical staff.

Commissioners pressed technical questions about allowed residents and unit counts. Staff informed the panel that if the property is rezoned to MF25 it would allow up to 14 dwelling units under zoning density calculations, but that assisted‑living is measured by number of residents and the right‑by‑right assisted‑living allowance remains up to six residents without a conditional use. Talbert said the project team would provide onsite security, a nurse and nursing assistant coverage and make sound‑reduction modifications between floors.

Members who spoke in favor of approval cited the site’s adjacency to parkland and neighborhood support. Chair Bustamante said the lot backing to park space made the use “perhaps…pretty close to an ideal use given the size of the lot.” Commissioner Sipes and Commissioner Hinojosa also expressed support; Commissioner Kelly voted no.

Roll call on the motion to approve item 2 recorded: Chair John Bustamante — aye; Commissioner Woodsett — yes; Commissioner Kellum — yes; Commissioner Nejosa — yes; Commissioner Pete Rodriguez — yes; Commissioner Sipes — yes; Commissioner Kelly — no; Commissioner Barros — yes; Commissioner Chase — yes. The motion carried.

The record shows 41 mailed notices for the application, with one in favor and none opposed. El Charro Neighborhood Association responded in favor; Brady Gardens returned no response.

The rezoning recommendation now goes to City Council, where the council has up to six months from the commission’s recommendation to act.","The San Antonio Zoning Commission voted to approve a rezoning from R5 to MF25 for properties at 1714 and 1730 Southfield Street to allow a low‑density multifamily project with assisted‑living uses; staff had recommended denial over density concerns.","actionData","errors"]
