New Roosevelt Avenue Zoning Overlay

Comment on this post if you think you might attend. I am going and would like to coordinate with any other neighbors intending on being a part of this process. Thanks.

As part of a new District 3 initiative, the City of San Antonio will be working on creating a new zoning overlay district for the Roosevelt Avenue corridor. Planning and Development Services are currently forming a Planning Team to look at potential enhancements (public & private). The primary function of the Planning Team will be to develop site and building design standards for new construction along Roosevelt Ave. These standards will be incorporated into a new zoning overlay district that will run along both sides of Roosevelt.
In addition, the Team could develop guidelines for the redesign of the Roosevelt roadway itself, provide recommendations for changes to the base zoning districts (determine allowable land uses) along Roosevelt, form an implementation team, and address other issues affecting the area.
The corridor overlay district creation and designation process normally entails 5-6 planning team meetings and 2 public meetings. Planning teams typically meet once or twice per month. The Team will decide on meeting dates, times and locations.
We will be holding an information session for those interested in being a part of the Planning Team at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, March 3 at the Roosevelt Park Community Facility (331 Roosevelt Avenue).

This is a logical extension from S. St. Marys. Should be a great improvement for the neighborhood.
