Zoning board denies truck-storage rezoning, approves historic-corridor alcohol permit and several consent items
Summary
The board denied a rezoning for large-vehicle storage near residences (agenda item 11), approved an alcohol-related rezoning in a historic corridor (item 16), and passed a multi-item consent agenda; several other items were postponed.
The San Antonio Zoning Board on Sept. 18 denied a rezoning request that would have allowed large-vehicle storage next to residences, approved a change allowing alcohol sales in a portion of a historic corridor, and approved a consent agenda containing multiple routine items.
What the board decided: the board voted to deny agenda item 11, a request to change R-4 to C-2 with airport risk overlay and a conditional use to allow storage of large vehicles at 8802 Troy Drive. City staff recommended denial; the board’s motion to deny passed on the record with no roll-call tally recorded in the transcript.
The board approved agenda item 16, a change from C-2 NA to C-2 in a historic corridor that would allow alcohol sales in the corridor where previously a no-alcohol designation applied. The board’s motion to approve item 16 passed; minutes show neighborhood association support for this particular application.
The board also approved the consent agenda, which the chair listed as items 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 19, 20 and 23. The consent motion passed; the transcript records the motion and that it passed but does not record individual votes.
Other board actions: several items were postponed. Items 3, 10, 14 and 15 were postponed to Oct. 2; agenda item 23 was postponed to Oct. 16; and the board postponed a rezoning (items 17/18, including a request at 117 Raymond Street that required a supermajority) to Oct. 2.
Why it matters: Item 11 was opposed by nearby residents and by staff on the basis that placing large-vehicle storage adjacent to single-family homes would increase noise, traffic and potential nuisance, according to public commenters and the zoning staff summary. Item 16 drew neighborhood support as a model rezoning in a historic corridor, according to the zoning presentation.
