The proposal from the NRP Group would amend the plan from community commercial to mixed use and rezone C2/C3 parcels to MXD with a cap of 25 units per acre to allow a multifamily project with about 78 units, and an on‑site pre‑K. James McKnight, representing the applicant, said the project would include \"deep affordability\" with units for families earning 30, 50 and 60 percent of area median income and that the development would provide 78 units, including at least 12 units for households at 30 percent AMI.

Several residents and neighborhood groups opposed the project, citing traffic, proximity to single‑family homes and water runoff concerns. Tim Crusoe and other speakers cited local crash data and safety concerns near Tesla and Grissom Road. Melina Espiritu Asokar, president of Northside AFT, said she supports affordable housing generally but opposed the project's planned partnership with Gervin Academy, describing it as \"a direct threat to our neighborhood public schools\" and raising concerns about accountability and the charter's Texas Education Agency rating.

Assistant City Manager and Development Services Director Mike Shannon told council members that state legislation (referred to in the hearing as SB 840) goes into effect Sept. 1 and could allow multifamily by right on commercially owned parcels, potentially enabling much higher density—up to roughly 65 units per acre—if the body takes no action.

Council members were split. Council member Galvan and others said the site is appropriate for multifamily and noted transit and commercial amenities nearby; District 6 Council member moved to deny but ultimately a motion to continue prevailed. The council voted to continue items 18 and 19 to the Aug. 21 zoning docket and asked that representatives from Gervin Academy and Northside AFT be present to speak at that hearing.

The continuance preserves the developer's ability to seek the MXD rezoning before the law change but also gives council and neighbors time to hear from the education partners and more technical information about traffic, school impacts and the proposed pre‑K operation.","Council continued consideration of a mixed‑use rezoning for a 5.76‑acre Tesla Road site proposed by NRP Group, after a lengthy public hearing that split neighbors, educators and councilmembers over school impacts, a planned partnership with Gervin Academy and a state law due Sept. 1 that could allow higher‑density multifamily by right.",{"_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},6486611,"Council denies rezoning for motor‑vehicle sales on South Zamora Street after neighborhood opposition",420,995000,1415000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5545591-4ded44bc4fe1040cb6e12bfc431c3baa&start=995&end=1415","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5545591-4ded44bc4fe1040cb6e12bfc431c3baa/thumbnail_995000.jpg","/articles/6486611/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Council-denies-rezoning-for-motorvehicle-sales-on-South-Zamora-Street-after-neighborhood-opposition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6486611-f5941a3fee08517b5d16d4a737ead49e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437727&Signature=fF79wOU9G02hVanZCeixzWvBLEYCJBdFMXKU4zj9ct7wYp3dEcSVbe1AfNfA0nN3fjqRMhDKk9v6CSBf5ieETeIHgMwF6-5~HzBgiXeqQe9L71px1GV1ksSkN~TabsfgpqvhcX4FxQzxzEKGmccTf5QbqL4YKjTONVOFf5AIsgBpBfKYyZow8nalorV2t9VMRyG05LfzC3UyeTrz2QY3IS2IeUML5bwRV5i8OjL~zVKHt9LsOI~sy4U9IMWt2tt7-2iZDZAuvZ3nCcl~OPYXnjFUsJGOHaPUJU6vakqJFNbt1awWGd2hiU2jUa36tfHNl7FjLYczPh9Y8Aa5isWVrQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio City Council voted to deny a rezoning and conditional use application that would have allowed motor‑vehicle sales at 402 and 406 South Zamora Street.

Neighbors and business‑area residents urged denial, describing ongoing nuisance activity at the property. \"He's basically running a salvage yard there instead of an auto sales business,\" said Frank Sanchez, who said vehicles were hoarded on the lot, the owner had worked on cars on site and a vehicle fire had recently drawn emergency responders.

Jack M. Finger and other public commenters also urged the council to deny the request, pointing to repeated opposition at the Zoning Commission and the Historic West Side Residents Neighborhood Association. Council member Castillo said her office and neighbors had submitted 311 reports about blocked rights‑of‑way and other violations and moved to deny the rezoning; the council carried the motion to deny.

Staff recommended denial; the Zoning Commission likewise recommended denial. Council discussion referenced the commission's recommendation and resident complaints as a reason to refuse the requested rezoning and conditional use for auto sales. The council's denial leaves the property under its current commercial zoning designation and subjects future uses to existing code enforcement and permitting requirements.","The council voted to deny a zoning change that would have allowed motor‑vehicle sales at 402 and 406 South Zamora Street following neighborhood complaints about nuisance activity, blocked alleys and safety concerns.",{"_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},6486615,"Council approves rezoning to formalize three-unit rental at 119 Al Garita Drive",182,781000,963000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5545591-4ded44bc4fe1040cb6e12bfc431c3baa&start=781&end=963","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5545591-4ded44bc4fe1040cb6e12bfc431c3baa/thumbnail_781000.jpg","/articles/6486615/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Council-approves-rezoning-to-formalize-three-unit-rental-at-119-Al-Garita-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6486615-c12e526fefa46403fa1e423850804150/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437727&Signature=F3CkseVi~UBLgGuVVzSxvXKJghDUSCNgSwXFjzoI~okrTU56VrbBWjQrMAVqxh9xyIthaIX2dm7OkUAxYkC8UVFF7kvK6eDqEyqz8p-uVXCkFtb5l0a8Q5n4IAw0UHd5FqjMCNa1mxaUKwCTsuOaIIuV56VmCwfQQbkHHTfYq765zPQtrgMYH4MncbgjXeIqCQeZS6G7T-7x236CKajDB-Rg3sTB-qdtSS-6zdws~90~4aD8OsTkXG5xtlK8wPKifnPRX0c05kxYzakaj0ap0g3u5z8NmBtCMltktGTllsiCc2HFaZmhqK6BXebt~CKrrhtvrJB8ehH9WcVY4U861Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of San Antonio City Council voted to approve a rezoning that formalizes an existing three‑unit rental at 119 Al Garita Drive. The motion to approve carried following a council discussion; no public speakers registered opposition at the meeting.

Council member Corps said the property was already operating as a nonconforming multi‑unit and the rezoning simply recognizes the existing use. \"There's 3 actually dwelling units on this property,\" Corps said, adding the change returns two units to the long‑term rental market and that \"one of those is actually an affordable unit. It's at $700 of monthly rent.\"

Staff and the Zoning Commission recommended approval. The rezoning includes a conditional use to permit three dwelling units on the lot; meeting materials noted 21 mailed notices and four in favor with several opposed (opposition percentage noted in the staff summary). Councilmember Corps moved approval; the motion was seconded and carried by the council vote.

The council and staff said they will monitor short‑term rental concerns and neighborhood maintenance issues. Corps said staff would work with Development Services (DSD) on noise complaint procedures and property upkeep, and that the additional long‑term units will add rental options in the northern portion of District 1.

The council approved the rezoning as presented; no additional amendments were made during the meeting.","The San Antonio City Council approved a rezoning to legalize an existing three-unit rental at 119 Al Garita Drive, adding two long‑term rental units including one affordable unit at $700 per month.","actionData","errors"]
