The San Antonio Planning Commission convened on June 25, 2025, to address key agenda items, including a significant request for a land use amendment and staff announcements regarding personnel changes.

The meeting began with a roll call confirming a quorum, followed by a streamlined approval of the combined hearing agenda, which included cases recommended for approval by staff without public opposition. The commission unanimously passed the consent agenda.

A notable discussion arose regarding Item 11, which involved a request to amend the North Sector Plan from a suburban tier to a specialized center at 13790 Judson Road. The proposal aimed to rezone the property to an I-1 General Industrial District. However, staff recommended denial, citing that the proposed land use classification was inconsistent with the surrounding suburban tier designation, which promotes residential and community commercial uses. The absence of the applicant during the discussion raised concerns, as the commission deliberated on the implications of the request.

Commissioners expressed that the applicant could still pursue alternative zoning options that align with the existing land use. Ultimately, the commission voted unanimously to deny the request, reinforcing the importance of maintaining the character of the surrounding area.

In closing, the meeting included staff announcements, highlighting the transition of Kelly Sanders to the role of planning manager, succeeding Christy Flores, who moved to the transportation department. The commission congratulated Sanders, signaling a positive shift in leadership within the planning team.
