The meeting consisted of a combined hearing agenda (consent items) and an individual hearing agenda. The only item discussed individually was Item 13, a proposed plan amendment and rezoning at 2814 Vera Cruz Street. The meeting concluded at 2:12 PM.

Consent Calendar

• The combined hearing agenda (all items except Item 13) was approved unanimously by a roll call vote (Commissioner Bustamante recused from items 1, 3, 6, 7).

Discussion Items

Item 13 – Resolution amending the Guadalupe West Side Community Plan from low density residential to high density mixed use at 2814 Vera Cruz Street.

• Planning Manager Kelly Sanders presented staff’s recommendation for denial, noting the 1,875 sq ft lot is inconsistent with the high density mixed use category and would place three dwelling units on an interior low-density residential block. Fifty notices were mailed; two in favor and zero opposed were received from within 200 feet; one in favor from outside 200 feet. The Grady Brady Gardens Community Organization opposed the plan; the El Charo Neighborhood Association did not respond. The Zoning Commission had recommended approval for an IDZ-3 zoning with three dwelling units.
• Applicant Mark Guerra (West SA Tex Living) spoke in favor, explaining the proposal had been reduced from four units to three, using two shipping containers totaling 640 sq ft. One container would hold two 160 sq ft units, the other a 320 sq ft unit. Parking would be two spaces, meeting the IDZ-3 requirement (50% of units). Rents would be approximately $600/month, targeting affordable housing. The applicant noted acceptance of Section 8 vouchers.
• Commissioners questioned the applicant about affordability metrics, ownership (West SA Tex Living as landlord), unit amenities (kitchenette, bathroom), and rental terms (long-term). Commissioner Sanchez expressed support, citing the need for affordable housing and noting the area is vulnerable to gentrification.

Public Comments & Testimony

• No one signed up to speak during the hearing. Written comments received: two in favor, zero opposed within 200 feet; one in favor outside 200 feet; the Grady Brady Gardens Community Organization opposed.
