San Antonio Planning Commission Meeting - February 25, 2026
The Planning Commission met on February 25, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The meeting included approval of a consent calendar and public hearings on two plan amendment cases. Public comments were received via voicemail.
Consent Calendar
- The consent agenda was approved unanimously (motion by Commissioner Profit, second by Commissioner García). All commissioners voted in favor, with Commissioner Bustamante absent at the time.
- A voicemail regarding a subdivision plat on the consent calendar (case 428) expressed opposition, but the commission did not reconsider the item, stating that approval is required by state code if the plat meets requirements.
Public Comments & Testimony
- Case 16 (125 Stonewall Avenue): Staff reported 30 notifications sent, with 1 written support and 2 written oppositions. The neighborhood association did not respond.
- Case 17 (Gilbo and Tassel Roads): Staff reported 53 notifications sent, with 1 written support and 1 written opposition. Additionally, two voicemail messages were played during the meeting: one from Daniel Tid opposing the rezoning (citing traffic concerns and a prior vote against) and one from Luis Tapia opposing (concerned about traffic and lack of a full development plan).
Discussion Items
- Case 16 – 125 Stonewall Avenue (South Central Community Plan Amendment): Staff presented a request to change the land use designation from low-density residential to commercial to allow vehicle repair and storage. Staff recommended denial, arguing the proposed use is incompatible with the residential neighborhood and would undermine the integrity of the area. The applicant, Samuel Aguilera Vega, explained that he needs the rezoning to create off-street parking for vehicles currently parked on the street, to improve safety. He stated the lot would be used exclusively for parking, with no repair work or noise. Commission questions revealed that long-term vehicle storage is not permitted under the requested zoning and would require light industrial designation. Commissioner Sigal noted a fence on the property had a permit but no final inspection, and referenced complaints from neighbors about ongoing vehicle storage and repair. She moved to deny the request; Commissioner Bustamante seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
- Case 17 – Gilbo and Tassel Roads (Northeast Community Plan Amendment): Staff presented a request to change the land use designation from residential to community commercial on a vacant lot. Staff supported the change, noting its location on a major arterial and compatibility as a buffer. The applicant’s representative, Niapio, stated they intend to proceed with a zoning change from R6 to C2 for small-scale commercial uses such as a bakery or jewelry store. They had met with the Brown Station West neighborhood association, which did not oppose. Commissioners discussed permissible uses and traffic impact. Commissioner Profit expressed support, noting the lot’s shape and location make it suitable for commercial use. The motion to approve was made by Commissioner Profit, seconded by Commissioner Oren, and passed unanimously.
Key Outcomes
- Consent Calendar: Approved unanimously.
- Case 16: Denied unanimously. Staff directed to communicate the denial.
- Case 17: Approved unanimously. The plan amendment is authorized; the applicant will proceed to the Zoning Commission for rezoning.
The meeting adjourned at 2:27 PM.
