Commission approves mixed-use-center alternate for 322 Tarasco Drive after applicant agrees
Summary
The Planning Commission approved staff’s alternate recommendation — mixed-use center — for a plan amendment at 322 Tarasco Drive after the applicant agreed; the original request to reclassify the site to regional center (with C3CD rezoning and several conditional uses) was found by staff to be inconsistent with surrounding low-density residential uses.
The San Antonio Planning Commission on Jan. 28 approved an alternate land-use recommendation of mixed-use center for 322 Tarasco Drive after the applicant indicated support for the alternative.
Planner Luxe Ratano of Development Services presented the request to amend the Southeast Community Area Plan from suburban tier to regional center to enable rezoning to C3CD with conditional uses including manufactured homes, oversized vehicle storage, cell service and storage. Ratano told commissioners staff "finds the proposed land use classification inconsistent with the surrounding area" and recommended an alternate of mixed-use center to limit the intensity of permitted commercial uses. Ratano said 18 notices were mailed, with one in favor and no responses from the Rainbow Hills Area Neighborhood Association.
Matthew Gilbert, representing the applicant, told the commission he agreed with staff’s alternate recommendation and asked commissioners to adopt the mixed-use center designation. "We are in agreement with staff's alternate recommendation for mixed use center," Gilbert said.
Commissioner Proffitt moved to approve the alternate recommendation and Commissioner Milam seconded. A roll-call vote recorded affirmative votes from Commissioner Prophet, Commissioner Milam, Commissioner Sanchez, Commissioner Lopez, Commissioner Lehi, Commissioner Bustamante, Commissioner Siegel and Chair Peck; the motion passed.
With the commission’s approval of the alternate, the site will be limited to the intensity of uses associated with a mixed-use center rather than the broader commercial allowances the applicant originally sought.
