The City of San Antonio Zoning Commission on Wednesday approved a package of zoning items and deferred a set of others.

The commission voted to approve items listed as 8, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 18 after staff described each item and no members of the public registered opposition. The commission called the roll and recorded unanimous support for the motion to approve the set as amended. The board’s president, John Bustamante, announced the motion passed and said the approved items will move forward to City Council within the next six months.

Why it matters: Approvals on consent or grouped votes speed planned rezonings to the City Council for final action. Property owners often depend on those timeline guarantees to coordinate permitting and construction.

What else the commission handled: The panel announced early in the meeting that agenda items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10 and 11 were postponed and “will be renotified” when they are reprogrammed. Staff told participants the postponements were necessary because the commission was “waiting on information from the federal government” (as read into the record). Members of the public who attended for any of those postponed items were told they would be notified of the new hearing date in the same manner as the original notice.

The meeting record shows the commissioners read those items into the minutes, opened the floor for a motion, and approved the consent motion after a second. President Bustamante closed that portion of the agenda by congratulating applicants whose items advanced to City Council and noting they would appear before the council within six months.

Ending: Items that passed the consent vote will go to City Council for the next step in the process; postponed items will be renotified and scheduled at a later date.
