Council approves amended rezoning permitting outdoor storage at Dodgton Road site despite staff caution
Summary
After staff and the planning commission recommended denial, the council approved an amended rezoning to allow exterior warehouse storage at a Dodgton Road property; neighbors raised environmental and safety concerns.
San Antonio City Council voted to approve an amended rezoning request for a Dodgton Road property to allow specific outdoor warehouse and storage activities, despite staff and the planning commission recommending denial.
Public commenters, including Jack M. Finger and nearby residents, said the proposed change would increase industrial intensity next to multifamily residential areas and raised concerns about traffic, environmental exposure and compatibility. Staff and the planning commission had recommended denial or a lower‑intensity alternative; the meeting record shows the planning commission also voted against the request.
A representative for the property owner said the site had long been used for storage and that portions of the property had been leased to commercial tenants for many years. The owner’s representative described the storage use as longstanding and asserted the request would regularize existing activity.
Councilmember White moved to approve the item as amended; the motion passed on the record. The transcript does not include a roll‑call tally. The council’s approval implements the amended plan language that authorizes limited exterior storage on the site as specified in the amended zoning conditions.
