Summary

This zoning case (Z-2025-10700337) proposes a change from industrial, commercial, and neighborhood preservation zoning to R-4 Residential Single-Family zoning for approximately 75.01 acres located at 4621 Cassin Road and 9233 New Laredo Highway in Council District 4. The current zoning allows for heavy industrial, commercial, and some residential uses, while the requested R-4 zoning permits single-family dwellings on minimum 4,000 sq ft lots. Staff recommends Approval, citing that the proposed residential development is more appropriate for the area and aligns with city goals for increasing housing stock and revitalizing the area. The property is within the Lackland Military Lighting Overlay (MLOD) and Airport Hazard Overlay (AHOD) districts, which have specific lighting and construction review requirements. A related Plan Amendment (PA-2025-11600115) to change the future land use designation from "Agribusiness Tier" to "Suburban Tier" is associated with this request. Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) has reviewed the case and has no objection, but provided comments regarding compliance with MLOD standards, potential FAA review for construction, and coordination for spectrum-dependent systems.

Citizen Impact

This zoning change allows for the development of approximately 350 new single-family homes on a large parcel of land previously zoned for industrial and commercial uses. Residents may see increased housing availability in Council District 4, but potential impacts on traffic and the need for infrastructure to support new homes will be evaluated during the building permit phase. The property's proximity to Lackland AFB means specific lighting and construction regulations will apply.
