The San Antonio Zoning Commission meeting on July 15, 2025, focused on a significant rezoning request in District 4, which received unanimous support from the commissioners. The meeting featured discussions on drainage management and access points related to the proposed development.

The applicant, represented by civil engineers, presented plans for a new development that includes a drainage area and a proposed detention pond. Engineer Bjorn Benches explained that the site would primarily utilize sheet flow for drainage, transitioning to concentrated flow near the designated low area. The proposed detention pond aims to manage stormwater effectively, ensuring that post-development conditions match pre-development levels.

Commissioner Reyes raised concerns about the access points for the development, particularly their proximity to existing roadways. Engineers assured the commission that they would coordinate with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to adhere to safety standards and access management criteria.

After addressing all questions, Commissioner Reyes made a motion to approve the rezoning request with specified conditions, which was seconded by Commissioner Hinojosa. The motion passed with a unanimous vote from all present commissioners.

The approval now moves forward to the city council for final consideration, marking a step forward for the proposed development in San Antonio.
