7510 Tezel Road (PA-2026-11600065)
Showing all 2 actions. Filter by: , .
Verify commercial uses allowed before relying on plan amendment
Why now: Plan amendment PA-2026-11600065 seeks Regional Commercial at 7510 Tezel Road, staff recommends Denial, and it is tied to associated zoning case Z-2026-10700183 (continued from 10/14 to 10/28).
What to do: Get the paired zoning case's requested district and compare its permitted uses against your intended project, because the land use change from Neighborhood Commercial to Regional Commercial only matters if the zoning follows. Staff recommended denial, so do not assume the higher-intensity designation will be granted.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask why applicant sought delay on commercial land use change
Why now: On 2026-10-14 the Planning Commission voted 10-0 to grant applicant Mohammed Muhsin's continuance to October 28, while staff recommended denial of the change to Regional Commercial; the October 28 result is not in these records.
What to do: Request the applicant's continuance request and the staff report behind the denial recommendation, then compare the stated reasons for delay with staff's objections. The 10-0 continuance vote gives no explanation for the delay.

Eastside Plan Amendment at 403 F Street (PA-2026-11600037)
Showing all 2 actions. Filter by: , .
Pair the medium density plan amendment with its rezoning case
Why now: The plan amendment at 403 F Street would change 2.121 acres from Urban Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential, staff recommends Denial, and it is associated with Z-2026-10700118.
What to do: Pull the companion zoning case file and confirm what zoning district and unit count the applicant is seeking on the 2.121 acres. Staff recommends denial of the land use change, so any project financing or design that assumes medium density is at risk until the amendment is resolved.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask staff why they oppose the 403 F Street density change
Why now: Staff recommends Denial of the request by representative JMichael Jeffords at the October 28, 2026 Planning Commission item, with planning coordinator Joel Vela listed as the contact; the result of that hearing is not in these records.
What to do: Request the Development Services staff report and any findings behind the denial recommendation, and find out who the applicant's representative works for and who owns the parcel. Compare the stated reasons against the Eastside Community Area Plan's land use goals.

Ortiz McKnight Plan Amendment at Barrett Place (PA-2026-11600066)
Showing all 2 actions. Filter by: , .
Check mixed-use plan amendment and paired rezoning for Barrett Place
Applies if: You are evaluating this site or similar small infill lots nearby
Why now: Plan Amendment PA-2026-11600066 would change Lots 27-30, Block 26, NCB 3509 (254 and 258 Barrett Place) from Low Density Residential to Mixed Use, staff recommends approval, and it is tied to Zoning Case Z-2026-10700203.
What to do: Pull the companion zoning case and compare the zoning district it requests against the mixed-use land use change before assuming any use is allowed. The plan amendment only changes the land use designation; what can actually be built depends on the rezoning moving alongside it.
Act before: After the next material record update
Find out what the Barrett Place rezoning would allow next door
Applies if: You live on or near Barrett Place
Why now: The Planning Commission item lists a change from Low Density Residential to Mixed Use - Residential/Office/and Commercial at 258 and 254 Barrett Place, with staff recommending approval and Planner Tory Rodriguez (Development Services Department) as the contact.
What to do: Look up the companion zoning case and see which commercial or office uses and building sizes it requests for 254 and 258 Barrett Place. The land use change moves the lots out of Low Density Residential, so the allowed uses on your block could shift from homes to office or commercial.

2940 Castroville Road (PA-2026-11600069)
Showing all 2 actions. Filter by: , .
Pull the paired rezoning file for Castroville Road plan amendment
Applies if: You are evaluating the site or a competing parcel nearby
Why now: The plan amendment for 2.701 acres at 2940 Castroville Road carries a staff recommendation of Denial and is associated with Zoning Case Z-2026-10700178.
What to do: Get the companion zoning case and compare the zoning district it requests against what the "Specialized Center" land use designation would allow. Staff recommends denial of the plan change, so the rezoning cannot be relied on unless the land use change succeeds first.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask staff why they oppose the Castroville Road land use change
Why now: Senior Planner Manuel Mottu's department recommends Denial of the request by applicant R.J. De La Garza, and the record does not describe the intended project.
What to do: Request the staff report and ask the senior planner for the specific findings behind the denial recommendation. Also ask what the applicant intends to build under "Specialized Center" instead of "General Urban Tier," since the filing does not say.

1359 West Kings Highway (PA-2026-11600070)
Showing all 2 actions. Filter by: , .
Pair the Kings Highway mixed-use plan amendment with its rezoning
Applies if: You are evaluating this lot or a similar site for a mixed-use project
Why now: Planning Commission item PA-2026-11600070 seeks a change from Urban Low Density Residential to Mixed Use at 1359 West Kings Highway, staff recommends denial, and it is tied to Z-2026-10700164.
What to do: Pull the companion rezoning file and confirm what uses and intensity the applicant actually wants on this lot. Staff recommends denial of the land use change, so any mixed-use project here is not feasible unless the amendment passes first.
Act before: After the next material record update
Request staff denial rationale for Kings Highway mixed-use plan change
Why now: Staff recommends denial of the request by Eduardo Castillo to change 1359 West Kings Highway to Mixed Use, with Shawn Schiele listed as the contact planner; the Planning Commission result is not in these records.
What to do: Ask the Development Services Department planner for the written staff analysis explaining the denial recommendation, and ask what the applicant's representative says the Mixed Use designation would allow. The gap between the applicant's request and staff's position is the story.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
