Applicant counsel told commissioners DuMor Enterprises has occupied the site since 1975 and that the parcel remained R-6 through multiple annexations and zoning updates even though the use has been industrial for decades. The applicant said similar industrial businesses operate on both sides of Grissom Road and noted a nearby property rezoned to I-1 (ABC Supply) in the past year.

City staff recommended denial of I-1 and offered C2CD with a conditional use for construction trades and contractors as an alternate that would provide a smoother transition to adjacent residential properties. The applicant argued I-1 is consistent with the area’s established industrial character and with recent approvals nearby.

Commission discussion referenced the area’s long-standing industrial pattern and the applicant’s ownership history. The commission approved the owner’s requested I-1 rezoning by roll call vote.

Why it matters: The approval regularizes a decades-old industrial use and may facilitate sale or reinvestment in the property; staff had suggested the lower-intensity commercial alternative chiefly to increase buffering where industrial abuts single-family uses.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Zoning Commission Jul 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved rezoning 7626 Grissom Road to I-1 industrial for DuMor Enterprises, a family-owned contracting business that has used the site for decades; staff had recommended denial but the commission supported the owner’s request to match surrounding industrial uses.","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},6510127,"Commission approves rezoning and conditional use for Alamo Auctioneers after applicant narrows request",756,3846000,4602000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5398864-70433da437e7e1fc377e850ac1cfd841&start=3846&end=4602","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5398864-70433da437e7e1fc377e850ac1cfd841/thumbnail_3846000.jpg","/articles/6510127/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Commission-approves-rezoning-and-conditional-use-for-Alamo-Auctioneers-after-applicant-narrows-request","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510127-4a62a734ed15dc5edcfb92220427be9d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448216&Signature=SXrwbWgEvbXS0V~xGabYb3~2io8JURnk2zpxwejwKMyrPukO82mMCSAaDZFulCmUFK1cpojTVRBGArFXNcZUyQCOwB90FUh0P32zUv~7x3o~wxS-vZ7LTfBTj73lUquV0D5Xw8sfSZF3u-Jmyf668gZTnwOhgxAJx7A5Pk8QKMPNix18Gm5wRZzL3IWBTiRW~-LVkcLpwdRFcGyyF-I0uDUNnBYGr7BZggQe8Hm2-Vaky2RFSS0AvmHPf1Lk4sZB8bouETEagIklFyV1MuYmws5emvY5PSrZKy9yWqYCTzCl6DsRWz~ZasVqnyb3Zrnf13by3TM-IRsZDcZQpn2iGw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The zoning commission voted July 15 to recommend approval of an amended rezoning request at 13527 Southwest Loop 410 that would permit an auto and light-truck auction and related commercial activity and relocate Alamo Auctioneers to the site.

Applicant counsel Emily Weisler told commissioners the applicant formally amended the boundaries since publishing to remove roughly 15.584 acres on the eastern portion of the original submittal, leaving approximately 16.668 acres proposed to be rezoned from MF-25 to C2CD (with a conditional use for auto and light-truck auction) and about 1.511 acres proposed from R-5 to C2. The applicant said the revised request aligns with surrounding commercial and industrial land uses near Loop 410 and that the owner also holds adjacent property to the south that provides additional buffering.

Staff recommended approval with conditions including hours of operation limited to 8 a.m.–6 p.m., a Type E 30-foot landscape buffer where the site abuts single-family residential and downward-facing lighting to mitigate light pollution. The applicant said the proposed site plan already shows a 50-foot buffer along the far western boundary and agreed to the staff conditions on the record. The applicant also noted substantial written support outside the 200-foot noticing area and several in-support responses within 200 feet.

Technical questions from commissioners covered drainage, detention and access proximate to the 410 on-ramp. Civil engineers for the applicant described a drainage plan that would detain runoff, match predevelopment discharge and coordinate with Methodist Hospital’s engineer on shared drainage areas. The team said they would coordinate with TxDOT on access management and any approach permits required for the site’s existing driveways.

Commissioner Eddie Reyes moved approval of the amended request with the stated conditions; Commissioner Georgina Hinojosa seconded. The motion passed by roll call.

Why it matters: The approval allows a long-standing local auction operator to relocate to a site near a major freeway; site-plan and drainage work will follow, and final authorization rests with city council.","Alamo Auctioneers will relocate to a reduced 18.179-acre site off SW Loop 410 after the zoning commission approved a rezoning and conditional use for an auto and light-truck auction; the applicant removed about 15.58 acres from the original request during the hearing.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510132,"Commission approves Endeavors warehouse at 6131 Daisy Powell Road with conditions; neighbors seek fence and access protections",336,2417000,2753000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5398864-70433da437e7e1fc377e850ac1cfd841&start=2417&end=2753","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5398864-70433da437e7e1fc377e850ac1cfd841/thumbnail_2417000.jpg","/articles/6510132/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Commission-approves-Endeavors-warehouse-at-6131-Daisy-Powell-Road-with-conditions-neighbors-seek-fence-and-access-protections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510132-d416de78bbf97bd89fe4bf5992ee6f99/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448216&Signature=PQcVE5ckM~wkZN1-GRHVbA5doRVF2r2BS2YSUScK51jyWedtkyBkL1~5xfDaNp4Au9zCpzRtb3k3ch5WasPKeg5Qex1iX1oXzZ~-hrYlR6Jck9Gf1tqO6MDWigo2nJaYRl5ym9hBuL7cIy-SFeOAA9qrK58FOx65v~-3SKaGcnXHwqxUgOpNHv7ORyoDhIMKSvVaUq-~CkmGmBiFikg55rDD-lxywmURcBCdj24TeUTYcjwKld~CxjwKyXIV-mKFkzfAm0VviGIn-THURNhS4s2chsppSxHp2RPfK6d-oJCASR6DTyz7pxCrel3YIjTSg86QG30~3Oxovf~g4R7CQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Zoning Commission voted July 15 to recommend approval of a rezoning at 6131 Daisy Powell Road to C2CD commercial district with a conditional use for a warehouse. The applicant, nonprofit Endeavors, plans to consolidate storage for emergency disaster relief supplies.

Staff recommended approval with conditions including vehicular access limited to Desavala Road, a Type D 25-foot buffer where the property abuts single-family residential, hours of operation restricted to 8 a.m.–6 p.m. and downward-facing lighting to prevent light spill into adjacent homes. Commissioners recorded that the conditions do not include a mandated fence height; fence height is governed by the Unified Development Code and may be resolved between the applicant and neighbors.

Neighbors expressed concerns about a proposed 8-foot fence that would abut existing 6-foot residential fences and could block pedestrian gate access residents use to reach nearby amenities. Lee Haas, an adjacent resident, asked the commission to require that any new fence match existing fence height and style and preserve gate access. Applicant representative Patrick Christiansen said Endeavors will work with neighbors and offered to provide gates and maintain pedestrian access; he told the commission the organization would not build an 8-foot fence where residents abut a cul-de-sac and expressed willingness to negotiate a private agreement.

Endeavors’ representative Elizabeth Higgins described the nonprofit’s local presence, saying the organization has been in San Antonio since 1969 and operates several local facilities. Christiansen said the warehouse would be lightly staffed during non-emergency periods and would be used to stage supplies and vehicles during disasters; in emergencies the applicant requested the ability to operate outside normal hours.

Commission discussion focused on enforceability of conditions and whether the city should require the higher fence. Staff advised the commission that the UDC requires a minimum 6-foot fence where commercial property abuts residential and allows up to 8 feet in some circumstances; if commissioners want an 8-foot requirement it needs to be included explicitly in the ordinance adopted by council. Commissioners voted to approve the request with the staff-recommended conditions (excluding a mandatory fence height). The motion passed by roll call.

Why it matters: The warehouse will consolidate emergency supplies and staging for disaster response in south San Antonio. Neighbors remain focused on fencing, gate access and ensuring the site plan addresses pedestrian connections and aesthetics.","The zoning commission approved rezoning of 6131 Daisy Powell Road to C2CD with a conditional use for a warehouse to allow Endeavors to consolidate storage for emergency response supplies, imposing site conditions including hours, buffer and lighting; neighbors asked for fence-height and gate-access protections.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510137,"Commission continues rezoning request for CDL driving school on Loop 410 to Aug. 5",1312,1046000,2358000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5398864-70433da437e7e1fc377e850ac1cfd841&start=1046&end=2358","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5398864-70433da437e7e1fc377e850ac1cfd841/thumbnail_1046000.jpg","/articles/6510137/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Commission-continues-rezoning-request-for-CDL-driving-school-on-Loop-410-to-Aug-5","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510137-c3ffbf28c56e3eec48e6c89365414b50/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448216&Signature=kRTxo5TEEEFpMJUKN3CUGMU5pAEoWAPi89AYomBGPIectL1RXmkUda-Y2JW-cMjEjBAkWh2RkpvUsWvLTG7Q~zoGgvk8NARivJkM~W3faa1ZAsupptHL8KH9jaH6822P6I-4Pvu~C~R8ZRmQE6tpjpP441UeXrlckvayipiS0ECioT2xfurF9gext2GX5ByW54P4TpNKfZtJ-e59JYOEx~ewA3mWLC3CT00BR2ZCOWUuR~cWAvDkW5YhnMvU1u7yhRG0nd05LQxf~cYFL2bDuhKAFG~pNxbx92USLGMXDt0LLOyQDsJUsVR4IXLge-m46dO3Dk3VdIn71V5bXjXlpA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Zoning Commission on July 15 continued a request to rezone roughly 5 acres at 8000 Southeast Loop 410 from R-4 residential to I-1 industrial to allow a commercial CDL driving school and parking for 18-wheelers.

Staff described the larger parcel as about 27 acres of which the applicant seeks rezoning of roughly 5 acres along the frontage. Staff said the block faces Loop 410 and a previous rezoning allowing truck repair and maintenance in 2023 established increased intensity in the area. The staff recommendation was for approval; the planning commission had recommended approval.

Community concern focused on proximity to the proposed Arboretum San Antonio. Adriana Quinones, executive director and CEO of Arboretum San Antonio, said the arboretum’s edge is roughly 3,000 feet from the proposed site, that parts of the intervening property are undeveloped, and that the arboretum’s master plan has not finalized emergency access or entry locations. Quinones said the arboretum would prefer buffering to protect tranquility and to preserve routes for emergency access.

Applicant representative Amir Shirkachi told commissioners the operation would create jobs and that the proposed frontage is separated from the arboretum and other residential parcels. He said the applicant is willing to work with staff and neighbors on mitigating noise, fumes and traffic impacts and noted the rezoning request covers only a portion of the larger ownership.

Commission discussion explored options between a full I-1 industrial zoning and a light-industrial option with a specific-use authorization to permit oversized vehicle parking while retaining site-plan requirements. City staff said an I-1 would permit both the vocational school and storage by right; a light-industrial classification with a specific-use authorization could be tailored with a site plan that sets buffers, landscaping and access. The commission voted to continue the item to the August 5 meeting to allow additional coordination between the applicant, staff and Arboretum San Antonio.

Why it matters: The rezoning would allow training and parking for commercial drivers on property adjacent to planned cultural open space; neighbors and the arboretum’s leadership requested time to work on buffering, access and circulation with the applicant and city staff.","A request to rezone land near Southeast Loop 410 to I-1 for a CDL driving school and truck parking was continued to the Aug. 5 hearing after neighborhood concerns about proximity to the Arboretum and requests for buffering and access discussions.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510142,"Zoning commission approves six rezoning requests, schedules two continuances",69,759000,828000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5398864-70433da437e7e1fc377e850ac1cfd841&start=759&end=828","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5398864-70433da437e7e1fc377e850ac1cfd841/thumbnail_759000.jpg","/articles/6510142/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Zoning-commission-approves-six-rezoning-requests-schedules-two-continuances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510142-052b664affe7d5f9491a07cd5e60f5fa/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448216&Signature=ljcW5vRH2yt66ukQcCyeZB31DyE-ZvoePHObxlAgS~AnBLBm7-u-R9xSA-JvarOZkgkKl8XzUuUNdpN6otAwqTmXQptVyrNOBKJuMkUo5I6b5MF74xBtpEjlM36qU8H0FJgmJ5ieyujOfhHPh-ALHq4N1j3fviUfAWiWFM~N4no96TZb80orVxb8FDPX2GAqIAlP5uB74bUkOOQbBwIsiMfawk4oq1jeQC-Lqx250hsGd9NeUFMI6O9kjbn-TxqNMcOPbsu7CMyTItS5DlMI4IuaPJSFP8ZjXJ6U~HvoB3cMnocpCToPaSZEBV6MZItzXXWcZM~if6pW8eTnaDv6sA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Zoning Commission voted July 15 to recommend approval of six combined-hearing items and to continue two separate items to future meetings.

Commissioners approved items 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 10 on the combined hearing by roll call after a single motion and second. Chair John Bustamante announced the motion carried. Those items now carry a recommendation of approval to city council and must be forwarded within six months per commission procedure.

Separately, the commission voted to continue item 1 to the August 5 hearing and item 6 to the August 19 hearing after motions and seconding were made and recorded.

The combined approval was moved by Commissioner Taylor Watson and seconded by the commissioner recorded in the transcript as Commissioner Bottles. Continuances were moved and seconded as recorded on the public record. Roll-call tallies were read into the record for each vote.

Why it matters: Rezoning recommendations from the zoning commission are advisory to city council; approvals here mean the cases will next be considered by council, which makes final decisions. Continuances delay council consideration and give applicants, staff and neighbors additional time to resolve questions or provide information.
