Council approves rezoning near airport with downward-facing lighting condition
Summary
The council approved a land-use amendment and rezoning at 4400 Stahl Road near San Antonio International Airport, with the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommended condition for downward-facing lighting, despite staff recommendation to deny.
On Dec. 18 the San Antonio City Council approved amendments to the San Antonio International Airport vicinity land use plan and rezoning at 4400 Stahl Road, changing the site from high-density residential to community commercial and rezoning from MF-33 to C-2 with conditional use for office/warehouse.
Planning staff recommended denial while the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval with a condition requiring installation of downward-facing lighting. The staff presenter noted 24 notices were mailed, with one returned in favor and one in opposition, and that the Northern Hills Neighborhood Association supported the rezoning.
Public commenter Jack Finger urged denial, arguing that commercial encroachment into residential neighborhoods causes long-term harm. Councilman White, recognized for the District 10 item, moved to approve with the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommended lighting condition; the motion was seconded and the mayor announced the motion carried.
The council approved items 8 and 9; the transcript records the motion and the mayor’s announcement that the motion carried but does not include a roll-call tally in the meeting text. The minutes should be checked for the precise approval language and any additional conditions.
