Council denies alcohol-variance request for restaurant near International School of San Antonio
Summary
San Antonio zoning session denied a request to allow on-premise alcohol sales at 1721 Babcock Road after the International School of San Antonio submitted a letter of opposition and a council member said no operating agreement had been reached.
San Antonio City Council’s zoning session denied an alcohol-variance application for a proposed restaurant at 1721 Babcock Road on a council vote during the meeting.
Staff told the council the proposed use would allow on-premise alcohol consumption at the address and that the International School of San Antonio, located within 300 feet, returned a mailed notice opposing the request. A council member said the school and the applicant had discussed operating hours and other conditions but could not reach an agreement and moved to deny the request.
The motion to deny carried after the vote was taken; the transcript records council members casting aye votes and the chair announcing that the motion carries. Staff had noted that one notice was mailed to the school and that the school’s letter cited student safety and concerns about loitering near the campus.
The action is a denial of the variance request; the transcript does not record a full roll-call tally by name for the final vote. The council did not adopt any alternate conditions on the record and the matter was closed for today.
