Samantha Benavides, a city zoning planner, introduced the application (case no. not specified) and said staff recommended denial. She told the commission there were no neighborhood association responses within 200 feet and that written protests or formal opposition were not recorded in staff’s summary.

The property owner, Arnold Uribe, and his son Aldo Uribe addressed the commission. Arnold said the request is intended to allow a small repair shop, not large industrial activity. “We’re looking for a variance to have a small mechanic shop there,” Arnold said. Aldo, who said he grew up in the neighborhood, described the parcel as nearly two acres and said he and his family intend modest, incremental use rather than major construction.

Neighbors and commissioners expressed concerns about large vehicles and temporary storage tied to a separate contractor working on a city project. Staff and the applicant said that contractor’s use is temporary — expected to end in October — and that the long-term tenant would be a small mechanic working on cars and light trucks. Staff explained that long-term parking or storage of large commercial trucks would require additional approvals or an industrial designation.

Commissioners asked technical questions about permitted separations, required fencing, conditional-use options, and whether the property’s current use was operating without a certificate of occupancy. Staff said fences up to six feet are standard and that higher fences or exceptions would require a variance. Commissioners also discussed alternate options, such as R-5 conditional uses for parking, but the applicant preferred the community-commercial classification to regularize the property for a commercial tenant.

Commissioner motioned to approve the rezoning as amended to community commercial (C-2 with conditional use for an automotive repair), the motion was seconded and passed by recorded voice vote. The commission approved the amended zoning request.

The applicant and staff said they expect the temporary contractor to vacate later in the year and that the small mechanic business would operate daytime hours and work to reduce neighborhood impacts. Staff noted the original staff recommendation was denial before the applicant amended the request to C-2 with conditions.

The commission’s approval allows the applicant to pursue required building- and site-permit reviews and any conditional-use approvals needed to site parking and storage. Specific permit requirements and any additional conditions will be addressed during the city’s permit review process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Comisión de Planificación Jun 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The San Antonio Planning Commission on June 11 approved rezoning for 422 Hartline Drive from commercial regional (C-3) to community commercial (C-2, conditional) to allow a small automotive repair use; neighbors raised concerns about large temporary trucks, noise and past property vacancy.

Bianca Maldonado, a community member who identified herself as representing Pitac community interests, told the commission she opposed the slate as recommended because a candidate listed for a District 5 seat appeared to reside in District 8. “We’re losing a member of PITAC who represents District 5 and is not being reappointed,” Maldonado said. She asked the commission to reopen the nomination process so applicants from District 5 could be considered.

The commission’s nominations item proceeded after staff described the committee’s recommendation package. Valerie Rodríguez of the planning administration team presented the nominations packet and said the nominations came from the committee’s review of applicants.

Commissioner Orion moved to accept the committee recommendations; Commissioner Sánchez seconded the motion. The motion passed with seven votes in favor and one vote opposed. The commission congratulated the nominees and said they would begin service in upcoming TAC cycles.

The discussion included a brief staff explanation that the package presented the committee’s picks for primary and alternate seats and that the committee had reviewed the applications during its meeting. Commissioners asked staff clarifying questions about district distribution among applicants and whether the applicants understood the expected meeting frequency; staff said TAC members would meet in the following cycle and that meeting times could be two-hour sessions.

The appointment item was procedural; commissioners did not attach conditions to the nominees. The commission moved on to other agenda business after the vote.

Looking ahead, staff told commissioners they expected to convene a legislative briefing in July to review pending state-level changes that could affect local planning practice.","The San Antonio Planning Commission approved nominations to the city’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) on June 11, 2025, after public comment urging more representation for District 5.
