San Antonio City Council approved a multi-parcel rezoning Oct. 16 that changes several zoning districts to allow a mix of residential and commercial uses and several conditional uses, as requested in a staff-backed plan.

The project area is generally bounded by Pettus Street to the north, Watkins Lane to the west and Culebra Road to the south. The rezoning swaps multiple existing districts to R-4/RM-4, C-2 and C-2 N A designations with conditional uses for auto and light-truck repair, a fitness center, construction trades contractors with screening for outdoor storage, full-service motor vehicle sales and a base of operations for food mobile vending. Staff and the Zoning Commission recommended approval with one amendment to remove a parcel identified in the staff report as “38 51 Calabrio” from consideration.

Staff reported 152 mailed notices for the item; no mailed responses in favor or opposed were recorded in the staff summary. The Calabrio Park Neighborhood Association was listed as in favor in the staff report.

Councilmember Aldrete Gavito thanked neighborhood organizers and staff and moved to approve the item as amended; the motion carried (official vote tally not specified on the record). The council noted that city staff had held two community meetings and that property owners in the area were invited to participate.

The approval authorizes the specified conditional uses and rezoning changes as presented in the staff and planning documents; any parcel-level conditions or required screening and setbacks will be set out in the staff report and subsequent permit review.
