The City of San Antonio Zoning Commission on Feb. 18 voted to recommend approval of a multi-item consent package that included a range of rezoning and specific-use requests, including an amended request for a solar farm at 4950 Callahan Road and several commercial and residential rezonings.

Commission staff read the consent list into the record and noted mailed notice counts and neighborhood responses for each case. Several applicants amended their requests on the record before the commission voted. For example, the applicant for item 5 (4950 Callahan Road) narrowed the rezoning to 3.11 acres and confirmed the amendment at the hearing; the applicant for item 9 amended to add an NACD/NA designation; applicants confirmed those changes at the podium.

The commission moved and seconded approval of all items on consent. Following a roll-call, the motion carried and the commission recorded the recommendation that these items be forwarded to City Council. The commission’s vote advances the listed cases to council as its recommending body; final action rests with City Council.

Items included on the consent list (read into the record) included (by agenda number): 5 (4950 Callahan Road — solar farm; amendment narrowing the subject area), 9 (5410 Pecan Springs Road — amended to add NA designation), 10 (843 SW 30th Street), 11 (13976 Quintana Road), 12 (hospital use at Southwest Loop 410), 13 (319 Blanco Road — tattoo parlor request), 14 (14570 Keith Queensland Barry Road), 15 (924 S Saint Augustine Avenue), 17 (706 Frost Bank Center Drive), 18 (1606 N Pine Street), 19 (109 W Grayson Street), 20 (725 & 741 W Ashby Place), 201, 202, 203, 205, 206 and 27. Notices and neighborhood responses varied by case; staff reported the number of notices mailed and whether responses were received.

The commission’s action was procedural: these are recommendations to City Council. Applicants and interested parties who testified or left voicemails on particular cases (for example, Beacon Hill Neighborhood Association on item 13 and multiple Alta Vista speakers on item 20) will have the opportunity to address Council when these items are scheduled there.
