Planning commission approves staff alternative to reclassify 0.99‑acre parcel near San Antonio International Airport
Summary
The City of San Antonio Planning Commission voted to approve staff’s alternative to change the land‑use designation for a 0.992‑acre parcel in the airport vicinity from medium‑density residential to a regional commercial designation; the applicant had requested commercial zoning for storage and office uses.
The City of San Antonio Planning Commission voted to approve staff’s alternative land‑use recommendation for a 0.992‑acre parcel near San Antonio International Airport, changing the property’s designation from medium‑density residential to regional commercial.
Alexa Retana, a zoning planner with the City of San Antonio Planning Department, told commissioners the item is an amendment to the airport‑area component of the city’s comprehensive master plan and that staff recommends a commercial designation more characteristic of adjacent parcels. Retana said two people registered in favor and no registered neighborhood association had filed opposition.
The applicant, Octavio Miramantes, described plans to develop storage space and offices and said he prefers C‑3 or C‑2 commercial zoning with special conditions rather than a Planned Development (CD) because he may seek other commercial uses in the future. Miramantes told the commission there is existing commercial zoning nearby and that the property would retain a buffer to the adjacent residential lots.
Commissioners asked staff questions about airport overlay notification and property size; Retana replied the aviation department was notified and that the site is 0.992 acres. After discussion, a motion to approve the staff alternative — to assign a regional commercial land‑use designation — was seconded and carried. Commissioner Bustamante cast the sole recorded no vote.
The vote implements the Planning Department recommendation for commercial designation and will proceed to the next steps required under the city’s review process.
