Council approves Camp Bullis-area plan amendment to neighborhood commercial at Buckskin Drive
Summary
The council approved a plan amendment changing Camp Bullis ETJ Military Protection Land Use Plan designation from low-density residential to neighborhood commercial for a site at 8489 Buckskin Drive, despite staff recommending denial.
San Antonio City Council approved a plan amendment to change the Camp Bullis ETJ Military Protection Land Use Plan designation for 8489 Buckskin Drive from low-density residential to neighborhood commercial.
Staff recommended denial while the planning commission recommended approval. Seven notices were mailed; two respondents were in favor and none opposed. The applicant and supporters were present; a councilmember moved to approve and the motion carried.
Public commenter Jack M. Finger addressed the council, urging denial and repeating planning staff concerns that integrating commercial uses into established single-family residential areas is inappropriate. Council discussion noted that the applicant had negotiated concessions and reached agreement with at least one neighbor, which was cited in support of approval.
The plan amendment changes the land-use designation in the affected area, enabling the applicant to pursue neighborhood-commercial uses subject to any conditions the council or staff imposes in later permitting steps. The meeting transcript records the motion as carried; a roll-call tally was not read into the record.
