Staff presented the request and recommended approval conditional on an approved site plan and compliance with applicable overlays. Applicant Mario San Roman said he and his family have operated assisted-living facilities in McAllen for 28 years, described staffing plans (one employee per four residents), and said residents would generally be ambulatory or receive physician house calls. He told the commission his facilities emphasize background checks for staff and limited ambulance calls.

Neighbors expressed concerns about traffic, property values and the proximity of a proposed facility to family homes and children. Kevin Edward Clark, who owns property adjacent to the site, said he and other neighbors worried about ambulance traffic and the effect on home values. Several voicemail callers and public speakers expressed opposition or asked for more information.

Commissioners asked whether the applicant would accept a two-week continuance; the applicant agreed. Commissioner Woodson moved to continue the item to July 1 to allow the applicant and neighbors — including the El Chaparral Neighborhood Association and the adjacent homeowner — time to meet and discuss site details. The motion passed by roll call. The applicant said he plans to start with six residents under existing licensing rules and pursue any expansion through the conditional-use process.

What to expect: The applicant will meet with neighbors and the neighborhood association and return to the commission on July 1 with any changes requested by neighbors or additional information. Staff noted that under the requested zoning applicants must maintain a residential appearance, limit signage, and comply with prescribed hours and buffering requirements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Zoning Commission Jun 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A request to allow an assisted-living facility for up to 16 residents was continued to July 1 to give the applicant time to consult with neighbors and the El Chaparral neighborhood association; applicant said he would begin operations with six residents and pursue licensing.","taxTitle","San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas","taxId",2771,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6515465,"Commission approves C-2 PCD rezoning and motor-vehicle-sales conditional use at West South Cross Boulevard",1680,3780000,5460000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3868942-4ae7409fd8f10eb6fab597e75aebe94f&start=3780&end=5460","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3868942-4ae7409fd8f10eb6fab597e75aebe94f/thumbnail_3780000.jpg","/articles/6515465/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Commission-approves-C-2-PCD-rezoning-and-motor-vehicle-sales-conditional-use-at-West-South-Cross-Boulevard","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515465-4e635c9f8c2d332035d3920461c550c0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770901471&Signature=cW8i0ziTdUK-3q0jJqfGjdXRbcsj1OWbILc9zLyWujwGFknlD4FFM-1njR1wauXbl93sOtscXn23h2WEXCTF0zCz1lKq8poiEKYLTKhCWsWTlf1mYNVvgvvAO8Mz0zvX5He9iTmdfHXJn-AzqdOm9-3AZUWIeVjTIs38g1ViD623t3TINAPLhArkpxDPvhvFmkD38VaJIk3ljUC5uCpAhewIGqzccOwOp0Y-E1LsLNLsLTGs-LLcfW9bDiEpX3O4BF54aKHYYBITTizhxIJGbDMH4WTcSySbdpkgUsAWE1QwIH78tdAGcbJWAz897KbDvr1yLabdBctCwY8Oz7Gfpg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Zoning Commission voted to rezone 2227 and 2235 West South Cross Boulevard to C-2 PCD with a conditional use for motor vehicle sales, forwarding the item to City Council with a prescribed site plan.

Staff recommended approval, saying the properties are surrounded by industrial and heavy-commercial uses and that the proposed commercial pedestrian district (with a conditional-use site plan for vehicle sales) would prevent further industrial encroachment along the block face. The staff presentation noted the site will be held to the approved site plan and that buffer and design requirements apply where the site abuts residential property.

Opponents said the applicant and prior owners have a history of code violations and that previous changes to the site raised drainage and enforcement concerns. Jerry Arredondo and Larry Garcia noted a string of prior enforcement actions and said residents are worried about runoff, impervious cover and potential expansion to uses they do not want. Claudia Gonzalez, who said she owns a nearby recycling business (Patron Manor Recycling), disputed some of the photos and said demolition and tree-removal permits were issued for the parcels in question and that planned landscaping is shown on the new site plan.

Applicant representative Mauricio Castillo said the request is intended to allow a small, legitimate local business; he denied any link between the request and metal recycling operations, and asked the commission to approve the rezoning.

The commission approved the rezoning and conditional-use site plan by roll call. Staff and commissioners noted that motor vehicle sales will be subject to the approved site plan (and minor site-plan amendment rules) and that some activities — such as oversized truck parking — are not permitted by the C-2 PCD designation and would be enforceable by code compliance if they occur.

What happens next: The approval will go to City Council. The conditional-use site plan will control the layout and any major deviations would require additional council action; code enforcement remains responsible for addressing impermissible activity on the site.","The Zoning Commission approved converting two West South Cross Boulevard parcels to C-2 PCD with a conditional use for motor vehicle sales and an enforceable site plan, following debate over past code violations and the property's industrial context.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":79,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6515470,"Zoning Commission approves rezoning for 291 West Mariposa Drive amid neighborhood objections",1549,2231000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3868942-4ae7409fd8f10eb6fab597e75aebe94f&start=2231&end=3780","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3868942-4ae7409fd8f10eb6fab597e75aebe94f/thumbnail_2231000.jpg","/articles/6515470/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Zoning-Commission-approves-rezoning-for-291-West-Mariposa-Drive-amid-neighborhood-objections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515470-dc35e0049d94af43f52452a4b232cf58/orig.mp4?Expires=1770901471&Signature=LOkeSk6YRu-Y6HEQ-RVQUO31f0qtRaSDGB1gmpHA5f0Z~2ZPPdFtEJfzbCANWWgOX0975OQ9Qy26nViaXJQD0~FUDY2Xotb8yIrDN5LgsrXdcTWT4Bob817B1U9ZzBt8YZ8M5XnMF6TTwzQSoW4J3sd4wWXAjsZ9EnbXtS-5Vb2jv7vQkwki24swbN9waiCx6Ue3mQhoRHsb5JXIDMpIk2sAsRp-ac92kvocH11t3Giad0Y6ZYXWV7VsN-szXqsl-oyz6aZjgAfSX29m-URAjb~gHCSSH9LCOjVFajSzMz8GSS7aalv6L5TnihoHupNvLDzQo65Tx2UeYspq5QM0qg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of San Antonio Zoning Commission on Thursday approved a request to rezone 291 West Mariposa Drive from R-4 (single-family residential) to C-1 (neighborhood commercial), advancing the case to City Council.

The applicant, attorney Jonathan Fly, told the commission the property is undeveloped, fronts San Pedro Avenue and has been marketed unsuccessfully for residential uses. Fly said C-1 is the “highest and best use” because surrounding parcels along San Pedro are already commercial. He told commissioners he had attempted to reach neighborhood representatives and offered to record private covenants to address a nearby neighbor’s concerns.

Neighbors and representatives of the Olmos Park Terrace Neighborhood Association opposed the rezoning. Robert Gonzales spoke on behalf of the neighborhood president, Betty Eckert, who left a voicemail opposing the map change and said she had been recently hospitalized and could not attend. Voicemails and callers reiterated concerns about transparency, protection of the historic neighborhood and the risk that a rezoning could allow businesses neighborhood members do not want on the block.

Fly responded in a brief rebuttal that he had repeatedly tried to contact Ms. Eckert, described his outreach efforts, and said he will record covenants addressing the neighbor immediately adjacent to the site (identified in the hearing as Mr. Overholt). Planning staff recommended approval, noting the site’s proximity to existing commercial zoning on San Pedro and the applicability of the historic-overlay design review process.

The commission approved the rezoning by roll-call vote and the item will be forwarded to City Council for final action.

What the approval means: If City Council concurs, the property’s zoning will change from R-4 to C-1, allowing limited neighborhood-serving commercial uses permitted in C-1, subject to design review under the historic overlay and any private covenants the applicant records.","The commission voted to rezone 291 West Mariposa Drive from R-4 to C-1 despite opposition from the Olmos Park Terrace neighborhood association and multiple voicemail objections.

On the consent agenda the commission approved the Zoning Commission rules and guidelines and two zoning requests listed as items 1, 2 (amended) and 5. The commission voted to continue item 6 (a requested continuance) to the July 1, 2025 hearing after public comment. The commission also voted to continue item 8 (a conditional-use request for an assisted living facility at 14618 Santa Gertrude Street) to the July 1 meeting to allow further outreach with neighbors and the neighborhood association. Separate votes advanced items 3, 4 and 7 to City Council; the commission approved rezoning at 291 West Mariposa Drive from R-4 to C-1, rezoning at 2227/2235 West South Cross Boulevard to C-2 PCD with a conditional use for motor vehicle sales, and zoning amendments at 11230 IH-10 East to align with surrounding industrial uses. The commission also approved the June 3 meeting minutes.

Why it matters: Several items that were approved will now proceed to City Council, where final action is required. Two items were continued to allow applicants and neighbors additional time to meet and narrow outstanding concerns.

How the votes went (high level)
- Items 1, 2 (amended) and 5 (consent): motion to approve carried on roll call (motion moved by Commissioner Huey; seconded by Commissioner Hinojosa). Public comment: none on those consent items.
- Item 6 (continuance request): moved to continue to July 1, 2025 (motion moved by Commissioner Huy; seconded by Commissioner Woodsett). Public comment included a neighbor, Yvonne Ezell, who asked to speak about concerns near her home about an applicant’s proposal.
- Item 8 (14618 Santa Gertrude — assisted living conditional use): continued to July 1, 2025 after public comments from neighbors and applicant representatives; applicant agreed to additional outreach.
- Item 3 (291 West Mariposa Drive, R-4 to C-1): approved by roll call; the case drew multiple speakers and voicemail comments from neighborhood residents and the Olmos Park Terrace Neighborhood Association president expressing opposition; the applicant said covenants would address some neighbor concerns and noted design review and historic overlay constraints.
- Item 4 (2227 & 2235 West South Cross Boulevard, RM-4 to C-2 PCD with conditional use for motor vehicle sales): approved by roll call. The item attracted opposition from nearby residents and Quintana Community Neighborhood Association, and debate about prior code violations on the property; staff said the commercial zoning matched the prevailing industrial pattern and that the conditional site plan would be enforceable.
- Item 7 (11230 IH-10 East): approved by roll call; staff recommended industrial zoning consistent with surrounding uses. Minutes for the June 3 meeting were approved as amended.

Next steps: Cases approved by the commission will be forwarded to City Council for final action. Cases continued to July 1 must return with additional outreach and any applicant updates.

Votes and formal actions are recorded in the Zoning Commission minutes and were taken by roll call. Names of members who participated in each roll call are recorded in the public record.","The City of San Antonio Zoning Commission approved a consent package, advanced several rezoning requests to city council, and voted to continue two items to the July 1 meeting after public comment and requests for more neighborhood outreach.","actionData","errors"]
