The San Antonio City Council’s zoning and land use session Oct. 16 produced several final actions and continuances. Key results recorded in the meeting transcript:

- Items 10 and 11 — Continued to Dec. 4. A motion to continue these items carried after one member of the public, Jack M. Finger, urged denial rather than continuance. (Motion carried; vote tally not specified.)

- Consent agenda — Approved. The council approved the consent agenda, which included items 1–9, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19, 20 and 21. Several speakers commented on consent items: Jack M. Finger spoke against alcohol variances included on the consent agenda, citing a state rule limiting sale of alcohol within 300 feet of public education institutions; Councilwoman Aldrete Gavito and Councilman White praised outreach and discussions with neighborhood groups and the School of Science and Technology on particular consent items. (Motion carried; vote tally not specified.)

- Item 14 — Approved. Rezoning from R-5 to MF-25 at 1730 and 1714 Saltillo Street for a 12-unit mixed-use project including assisted-living units. Staff recommended denial; Zoning Commission recommended approval. (Motion carried; vote tally not specified.)

- Item 16 — Continued to Dec. 4. Rezoning and specific-use request for a wireless communication system at 603 Pruitt Avenue; staff recommended denial and the Zoning Commission recommended approval. Public comment included opposition (Jack M. Finger) and support from the property owner (Leon Dackbrecht) and AT&T representative Vince Hebert. (Motion to continue carried; vote tally not specified.)

- Item 17 — Approved as amended. Multi-parcel rezoning generally bounded by Pettus Street, Watkins Lane and Culebra Road with conditional uses for auto and light-truck repair, fitness center, construction trades with screening, motor vehicle sales (full service) and food mobile-vending base operations. Staff and Zoning Commission recommended approval with an amendment to remove a parcel listed in the staff report as "38 51 Calabrio." (Motion carried; vote tally not specified.)

All recorded motions in the Oct. 16 session carried as described in the public transcript; the record indicates verbal roll calls but does not include numerical yea/nay tallies for the actions recorded. Several public commenters raised concerns about alcohol variances near schools and tower siting and setbacks; AT&T presented coverage and FirstNet arguments in support of the wireless site.
