City Council approved a contentious zoning change that will allow a residential learning center for impoverished women on the West Side.
The 9-acre property will be rezoned from multifamily to commercial with conditional use for a human services campus. Councilwoman Ana Sandoval did not attend the vote.Area neighborhood associations asked for council to delay its vote to allow for more resident awareness and to solidify an agreement that, should YWCA San Antonio sell the property, the property won’t become a homeless shelter or other use permitted in human services campuses.
“The city does not enforce these deed restrictions,” Peña told the San Antonio Report after the meeting. “We would have to hire a lawyer … we don’t have money.” A majority of the community advisory council will be residents of surrounding neighborhoods, she said. “I really do not want the process with the community to be contentious going forward.”
