The applicant, Ian Ross, proposed a supervised independent living facility (ages 18–23) and an extended foster care program; staff recommended approval of R‑4 CD with a conditional use for a boarding home of no more than eight residents.

Staff (Alex Ratana) described the proposal and noted the property has an accessory dwelling unit that could support increased capacity; staff recommended approval. Ross said his program (Quarter Housing) would serve 18‑ to 23‑year‑olds aging out of foster care, providing counseling, vocational and educational support and a supervised living environment. Ross and his business partner said they are renovating the vacant property and intended to operate with around six residents initially but sought the capacity for eight.

Several neighbors and a neighborhood association representative spoke or left voicemails opposing the rezoning, expressing concerns about safety, the neighborhood’s older population, previous issues at other group homes, and lack of prior outreach; speakers included Daisy Lewis, Albusy Warner (speaking for her mother Patricia Dukes), Will Covington and Colosseum Willow Park Neighborhood Association President Armand Hathaway. One voicemail from a nearby property owner opposed the change. Public commenters said they learned about the proposal late and asked for additional information and assurances about supervision, staff response to incidents, and parking.

Staff explained the minimum parking requirement for a boarding home is roughly 0.3 spaces per bed plus one employee space (about four spaces for eight beds). Commissioners urged the applicant to meet with neighbors to address concerns and suggested a condition or point of contact for neighbor complaints. Commissioner Janelle Chase moved to continue the item to Sept. 2 to allow the applicant to conduct outreach; Commissioner Marco Barros seconded. The motion carried by roll call.","After extensive public comment from neighbors, the commission continued a rezoning to allow an 8‑resident supervised independent living boarding home at 334 Como to Sept. 2 and asked the applicant to engage directly with neighbors.",{"_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},6588497,"Commission approves alcohol sales rezoning at 318 Historic Old Highway 90 amid neighborhood support",368,2498000,2866000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5602186-a84cdd73af741f72b54849e6d057ae7a&start=2498&end=2866","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5602186-a84cdd73af741f72b54849e6d057ae7a/thumbnail_2498000.jpg","/articles/6588497/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Commission-approves-alcohol-sales-rezoning-at-318-Historic-Old-Highway-90-amid-neighborhood-support","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6588497-6b40cb8ebe7efc302d5ba0be6b6943ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1771130361&Signature=f0AiJhlhs5w-VFwHJaLR~bf15Y6RMMaoJNCwTY0hApKkT9q1AgK-FhdJ1b882h2Nyz8W45DUch4r-Hw63pl77yLMEqYk3kznqoSDBuUfRXCyRv0LN6UAI~yKKCQ47-Ghkh35LFY~JN0EwStC9P6DcyIncI7vQABaq9Qd7TA6xf35jTQCjzu5KRM2IdfYbFua3wYTYsG4e215nyalrH5IL2hFbZBc891GFXUNk3eAnvnQUDCElR-Q~zMgKhZQCuzxbtjFTWMwsDZubenLxqREpanRdysNaF~yqofEa~K7nX8gYK0Ap6QnjVhyWaxjfHHw8K6ruMV7Ub3xFfhZgrTyQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Zoning Commission approved a rezoning at 318 Historic Old Highway 90 to allow alcohol sales at an existing restaurant.

Staff (Samantha Benavides) recommended denial, citing a city council‑initiated large area rezone in 2011 that established a non‑alcohol sales corridor and the property’s surrounding land uses. The applicant’s representative, Humberto Liao, said the owner purchased and remodeled the restaurant three years ago, will retain family‑friendly operations, will not operate a bar or live music, and requested the ability to sell beer with food. The applicant said hours would remain unchanged (weeknights until 10 p.m., weekends until 11 p.m.) and that the owners agreed to provide security or law enforcement presence on weekends.

Los Jardines Neighborhood Association supported the request; staff staff recorded 15 notices mailed with two in favor and none opposed. Chair John Bustamante moved for approval; Commissioner Marco Barros seconded. The commission approved the rezoning by roll call.

Outcome: the commission recommended approval to City Council despite staff's recommendation for denial; because Council has final authority, the applicant must pursue the case to Council within the standard six‑month window.","The commission approved changing 318 Historic Old Highway 90 from C2NA to C2 to permit beer sales at an existing restaurant; staff had recommended denial due to a previously established non‑alcohol corridor but the neighborhood association supported the change.",{"_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},6588502,"Commission continues rezoning case at 4211 Boxwood after neighbor concerns; returns Sept. 2",2225,266000,2491000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5602186-a84cdd73af741f72b54849e6d057ae7a&start=266&end=2491","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5602186-a84cdd73af741f72b54849e6d057ae7a/thumbnail_266000.jpg","/articles/6588502/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Commission-continues-rezoning-case-at-4211-Boxwood-after-neighbor-concerns-returns-Sept-2","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6588502-0762de6b29197f0962b483efdad2110d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771130361&Signature=WoU4ECYDgiWfwkKPAG5qAyl3ooDWqkaamivCbwFLDJJZTguJcH4-SMvf8dH9M0nwh7Gp5uMJ2yz5p9XEmKuzSpOcnVofhztbzURw8AfkLOEngjP-NpoY-YjVXWr4ShbysQ~CVV-iG2hDbZmuC83sZwI6milshxdqTeJIIIz2jx97x8zC8iQLrAoKUAYQJTuiyXQ5C~OvMaXGNMrYG4ALJiDZLktmVCMuTbk~en3HLUGXujD7ifkx0AWJDmqznMjw0LTphaTKQ~8fIegNm3Z21198KYo5bfsyJLNPpkT2iW7qKxnwsUrUfC1z5XRjCNDFYZqY5Grd-p7tBii5WeTCrQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of San Antonio Zoning Commission voted to continue consideration of a rezoning at 4211 Boxwood Road to its next meeting on September 2 after significant public concern and requests for more neighborhood outreach.

Staff (Rado Gomez, senior planner) initially presented the case as a request to change zoning from R‑20 (residential single family) to R‑6 CD with a conditional use for two dwelling units. The staff report said surrounding properties are developed in patterns compatible with the requested zoning and that the request was consistent with the Strategic Housing Implementation Plan encouraging alternative housing types. The applicant’s representative, Elizabeth Russell, clarified the applicant’s intent: the owner owns adjacent lots and intends single‑family homes (not duplexes or apartments), remove a nonconforming metal building, and develop up to three single‑family dwellings over time. During the hearing the applicant amended the request to R‑6 without a site plan.

The commission noted multiple recorded voicemails and public comments objecting to the rezoning. Voicemail callers and speakers cited past disturbances at the property, claims of unpermitted construction and sewer work, concerns about overbuilding and impacts to property values, and requests for more neighborhood notice and outreach. Staff’s published notice summary: 21 notices mailed; 0 in favor, 2 opposed within 200 feet; 3 opposed outside 200 feet; no responding neighborhood association within 200 feet.

Commissioner Hinojosa moved to continue the item for two weeks to allow neighborhood outreach; Commissioner Kellum seconded. The commission approved the continuance by roll call. The applicant and staff were instructed to pursue neighbor outreach and return to the commission on Sept. 2.","The commission continued a rezoning request for 4211 Boxwood Road after neighbors raised concerns; the case was continued two weeks to Sept. 2 for additional outreach.",{"_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},6588507,"Zoning Commission approves RM‑6 CD for 2634 East Houston with limits on office hours",573,1089000,1662000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5602186-a84cdd73af741f72b54849e6d057ae7a&start=1089&end=1662","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5602186-a84cdd73af741f72b54849e6d057ae7a/thumbnail_1089000.jpg","/articles/6588507/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Zoning-Commission-approves-RM6-CD-for-2634-East-Houston-with-limits-on-office-hours","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6588507-a6d4c5034f04fefcf82ef017599ed0d1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771130361&Signature=noSE4~7t4oRfr1HXmvLAzd8MNV1RCBHj4LmyZpP8g4Zi5owgDYiqq9odOVnZZQQR6eGh5xiIksJOh7Wb1adPxDfIetzVGjCqwRhoO-~aN6NOhJ0kuYQGMydH7-PT-m-Ywy8pXavkP6rVGVYBe~fXM7Ao8DiLQZXJhKP80QjQPAOckkj9SdP-QBGin0htxulQRcR0LtjdSlVJeWkFior3dL1ppRhTB17AhEFs~oXvsjHjuMCKetQTJoAj3QQMp22-nfepphbhrKwCBjwgNWPJ~h980WW5NISq2nDOo24zPsy8RemSHTnRO9MqjSl-caondYREgnfEDr3nLI6iaX0yxg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of San Antonio Zoning Commission voted to approve a rezoning at 2634 East Houston Street, changing the base zoning to RM‑6 (residential mixed) with a conditional use permit to allow a professional office. The commission added a condition limiting office hours to 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

Staff (Alexa Ratana, zoning planner) told commissioners the existing R‑4 residential single‑family district is inappropriate for the property and recommended an alternate RM‑6 CD with a conditional use for a professional office to limit commercial encroachment. The applicant, Reina Sims, said the intended use was a small daytime tax or notary office by appointment, initially proposing hours of 10 a.m.–3 p.m. Sims agreed during questioning to the broader hours on the record.

Commissioner Janelle Chase moved to approve the request as amended to RM‑6 CD with a conditional use for a professional office and office hours of 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.; Commissioner Hinojosa seconded. The commission approved the motion by roll call.

Staff noted standard code constraints for conditional uses in residential districts include limitations on signage and building character; development code parking minimums for a professional office still apply. The applicant confirmed no new structure is proposed and that parking would be accommodated on-site via a rear gravel area and driveway. Notices: 48 mailed; 2 in favor and 1 opposed within 200 feet; Jefferson Heights and Harvard East Lawn neighborhood associations did not respond.

Outcome: motion carried; case recommended for approval to City Council.","The commission approved a rezoning for 2634 East Houston to RM‑6 CD with a conditional use to permit a professional office and stipulated office hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.",{"_33":124,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":125,"_41":126,"_43":103,"_45":127,"_47":128,"_49":106,"_51":129,"_53":130,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":131,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":132,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6588512,"Zoning Commission approves nine consent rezonings, forwards recommendations to City Council",821,1087000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5602186-a84cdd73af741f72b54849e6d057ae7a&start=266&end=1087","/articles/6588512/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Zoning-Commission-approves-nine-consent-rezonings-forwards-recommendations-to-City-Council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6588512-039becbe6d7559382591c89445bee287/orig.mp4?Expires=1771130361&Signature=fPQucor4hrZHJ-3bLqqQEo3TqjAnjMen2BO5~YsgwW8rrkuiyjWtiSZKnzX7Y1im5-M6U0p2kbuP39e88eayMftRfXPiZa45rm4U3qWIPiix8n2L2JGVrzz5yVDX6AbqyNDN2JZGA-pwDjl2nN06b306Tu2QJn8BSIMO29GqE0zfgZxRW2Dm5LjhaMiAV-KujcjXzuYKhK0Xe8O~2hwmVcOJ7c2rQU2EhTyhBJzjiwYLSU6mUvcSG3TaBFiScIHsC6ffjbCEEFOM1Wv7mHs~du6XYQkNXjfEfsD8GQIyLAo0UuyHhwbz2f0iLQ4cFZZ0t40LnGT1FZFsUSyV3RINfA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of San Antonio Zoning Commission on a voice and roll-call vote recommended approval of nine items on its combined consent agenda and forwarded those recommendations to City Council.

Commissioner Ken Huey made the motion to approve the listed items; Commissioner Marco Barros seconded. The commission conducted a roll-call vote; the clerk recorded affirmatives from Commissioners Huey, Barros, Daniel Kellum, (Nojosa/Hinojosa recorded), Eddie Reyes, John Whitsett, Commissioner Janelle Chase and Chair John Bustamante. The motion carried and the cases will be transmitted to City Council with a recommendation of approval. Applicants and interested parties have six months to take the cases to City Council.

The commission did not have public comment on the combined items except for recorded voicemails associated with several cases; staff noted there were voice mails for items 3, 7 and 9 that were played earlier in the meeting.

The approvals were procedural recommendations only; final zoning changes will occur only if and when City Council acts on the commission’s recommendations.","The City of San Antonio Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of nine items on its combined (consent) agenda; the commission’s recommendation will go to City Council for final action within six months.","actionData","errors"]
