A strong wave of community opposition emerged at the San Antonio Zoning Commission meeting on May 6, 2025, as the Greater Harmony Hills Neighborhood Association voiced their concerns over a proposed zoning change for a local hotel. Acting interim president, speaking on behalf of the association, highlighted that the membership had unanimously authorized their stance against the application, citing significant issues regarding access to services and the suitability of the proposed multi-family use.

The speaker emphasized that the current hotel structure is a non-conforming use and argued that simply labeling the change as an improvement overlooks critical factors. "It's very small rooms, inconsistent with a lot of the other market spaces that exist around," they stated, pointing out that the proposed development is isolated within an industrial park and does not align with the intended zoning buffer between residential and commercial areas.

The association's position is clear: they believe the property should remain zoned for commercial use, as changing it to multi-family housing would not serve the best interests of the community. They urged the commission to heed the recommendations of city staff and consider the overwhelming opposition from local residents and business owners.

As the meeting concluded, the community's concerns were firmly on the table, setting the stage for further discussions on the future of this property and its impact on the Greater Harmony Hills neighborhood.
