The City of San Antonio Zoning Commission on Feb. 18 approved a rezoning request at 222 Corliss to RM-5 to permit three dwelling units after the applicant amended the application during the hearing.

Alexa Ratana, zoning planner with Development Services, described staff’s alternate recommendation of R-4 CD to limit the site to two units and said the original RM-4 request would have required a plan amendment. The applicant, Luanne Gonzalez, said she sought three units on a single slab and amended her request at the hearing to RM-5 to achieve that outcome. The case previously received a recommendation of denial from the Planning Commission.

Commissioner Taylor Watson moved to approve the RM-5 amendment with the applicant’s confirmation that the three-unit site plan would be submitted before council. Watson said she expected the applicant to present the engineered site plan to the Coliseum-Willow Park Neighborhood Association and the council member before the case goes to Council. The motion passed on a roll-call vote.

The commission’s recommendation sends the RM-5 rezoning to City Council. Commissioners reiterated that the applicant should meet with the neighborhood association and provide the final engineered site plan to the Council representative prior to the Council hearing.
