The San Antonio Planning Commission meeting on September 24, 2025, focused on several key agenda items, including a significant request for a land use plan amendment related to the Camp Bullis area.

At the start of the meeting, it was announced that item number 8 had been postponed, and the consent agenda was approved without any objections. The approval included various items, with Commissioner Bustamante temporarily recusing himself from the discussion.

The main topic of discussion was item number 9, which involved a request to amend the land use plan from low-density residential to community commercial at 8860 Crossmount Trail. The applicant aims to establish an outdoor event venue on the site. However, the proposal faced considerable opposition from the community, with 73 notices sent out beyond the immediate area, resulting in 3 in favor and 73 opposed.

City staff expressed concerns that the community commercial designation would not be compatible with the surrounding exclusively residential areas. They highlighted that while the event venue might fit within the neighborhood, the broader implications of community commercial zoning could negatively impact the area's character. Consequently, staff recommended denial of the request.

The applicant, represented by Emily Weisler, requested a two-week continuance to engage further with the community before proceeding. This request was granted, and the matter will be revisited on October 8, 2025.

The meeting underscored the ongoing dialogue between developers and community members regarding land use and zoning, reflecting the complexities of balancing development with neighborhood integrity.
