The San Antonio City Council convened on June 5, 2025, for a Zoning and Land Use session, addressing several key agenda items primarily focused on zoning changes in Districts 5 and 6.

The meeting began with a discussion on item 28, which involved a zoning amendment supported by the Roosevelt Park Neighborhood Association. A total of 574 notices were mailed regarding this item, with 5 responses in favor and 1 opposed. Council Member Castillo expressed gratitude to Jeff Hunt and the leadership of the Roosevelt Park Neighborhood Association for their efforts in keeping residents informed throughout the zoning process. Following this, a motion to approve the item as amended was made and seconded, with no further discussion. The motion carried unanimously.

Next, the council addressed item 29, concerning a rezoning request from C. 2 and 8 to C. 2 at 1246 South General McMullen Drive. Staff recommended denial, while the Zoning Commission recommended approval. Out of 32 notices mailed, there was 1 response in favor and 1 opposed. However, support was noted from the L.

Council Member Castillo acknowledged the efforts of the Bridal Gardens Neighborhood Association and the applicant for engaging with the community. A motion to approve the item was made and seconded, leading to another unanimous vote in favor.

Items 34 and 35 were then discussed, which involved amending the Highway 151 and Loop 1604 area regional center plan and a rezoning request from R6 to C2 NA CD for a construction trades contractor. Staff recommended denial, suggesting an alternate recommendation for C. 1 CD with a conditional use for auto glass tinting. The Planning Commission and Zoning Commission had recommended approval. Out of 21 notices mailed, there were 2 responses in favor and 3 opposed, with the Mountain View Acres Neighborhood Coalition expressing support.
