San Antonio City Council on Aug. 16 approved multiple zoning items on a consent agenda, approved a rezoning for a 12-unit assisted-living project, and approved a larger multi-district rezoning with conditional uses. The council also voted to postpone items 10 and 11 and to defer consideration of a wireless-communications variance to Dec. 4.

The council moved and passed a motion to postpone items 10 and 11 after public comment urging denial. Later, councilmembers approved the consent agenda items listed by the mayor as items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19, 20 and 21. No individual roll-call vote tallies were read into the public record for the consent agenda during the session’s announcement of passage.

On individual items, the council approved item 14, a rezoning request described as creating a 12-unit assisted-living/mixed-use development in Council District 5. The project proponent described the site as near medical facilities and neighborhood amenities and said the neighborhood association submitted letters of support. Councilmember Castillo moved approval and the motion carried.

Item 16, a request for a rezoning/variance to allow a wireless-communications facility with a reduced separation of approximately 196.5 feet from adjacent properties, drew public comment and a presentation from an AT&T representative. After discussion, Castillo moved to postpone item 16 to Dec. 4; the motion passed.

Item 17, a larger rezonification covering multiple districts and a series of conditional uses (automotive repair, gym, contractor services, motor-vehicle sales/service, food sales/food trucks and related operations) in the area near Culebra and Watkins Lane in Council District 7, was presented with staff recommendation for approval. The city sent 141 notices for item 17 and the staff report recorded 0 responses in favor and 0 in opposition. Councilmember Alderete Gabito moved approval as amended; the motion passed.

The session closed after the council finished individual items and adjourned the zoning session.
