On September 2, 2025, the San Antonio Zoning Commission convened to discuss several zoning requests that could significantly impact local neighborhoods and businesses. The meeting highlighted various proposals, each with varying levels of community support and opposition.

One of the notable requests was for a zoning change from C and C2AHOD to Mixed-Use Development (MXD) at 11625 Old Corpus Christi Road, allowing for a maximum density of 25 units per acre. This proposal received 19 notices, with one in favor and none opposed, indicating a generally favorable reception from the immediate community, which lacks a neighborhood association.

Another significant item was the request to change zoning from C3 and C3R to C2CD for a lumber yard and building materials operation at 2512 Southwest Loop 410. Despite sending out 27 notices, there was no support or opposition recorded, and the Lackland Terrace Neighborhood Association did not respond, suggesting a lack of engagement from the local community.

The commission also reviewed a request to change zoning from FRCD to C3S for a welding shop at 12050 Pleasanton Road. This proposal similarly garnered no support or opposition, with 13 notices sent out and no neighborhood association within 200 feet to provide feedback.

In a more contentious discussion, a request to change zoning from R4 to R4CD for a studio interior decorating business at 126 Groveland Place received 107 notices, with one opposition noted. The Manke Park Neighborhood Association did not respond, indicating a potential disconnect between the commission's activities and neighborhood engagement.

The meeting also addressed the adoption of the MC4 Northeast Metropolitan Corridor, which involves multiple zoning districts affecting properties near major roadways. This proposal received mixed feedback, with 19 notices sent, two in favor, and five opposed, reflecting community concerns about the implications of such a corridor on local development.

Other zoning requests included changes for residential and commercial properties, with varying levels of community response. For instance, a request for a change from C2 to IDZ1 at 307 Montezuma Street received no support or opposition, while a proposal for auto paint and body repair at 3218 Thousand Oaks Drive saw two in favor and one opposed, with no neighborhood association registered nearby.

The meeting concluded without public comments, leaving several proposals pending further discussion and community input. As San Antonio continues to grow, the outcomes of these zoning requests will play a crucial role in shaping the city's development and addressing the needs of its residents. The commission's next steps will likely involve further engagement with the community to ensure that future developments align with local interests and concerns.
