San Antonio's Junta de Ajuste convened on August 4, 2025, to discuss a significant zoning variance request that could reshape a vacant property on Bandera Road. The meeting highlighted a proposal from Tritech Engineering seeking a 16-foot, 4-inch reduction in the maximum front setback requirement, allowing for a new front of 36 feet, 4 inches.

The property, located at 11006 Bandera Road, is currently unused and has a history as a residential site. The proposed development aims to align with the Texas Department of Transportation's plans for potential expansion along Bandera Road, which could enhance accessibility and utility for the area.

During the meeting, city staff recommended approval of the variance, noting that it would not substantially separate the construction from the street and that there is potential for future development. Notably, 25 notifications were sent out regarding the proposal, with no responses in favor or opposition, and the neighborhood association did not provide any feedback.

Al Carol, representing Tritech Engineering, addressed the council, confirming that he is working to ensure compliance with the expansion plans. Despite some initial confusion regarding neighborhood opposition, it was clarified that there were no formal objections from the community.

The council moved forward with the motion to approve the variance, emphasizing the importance of the project for revitalizing the area and accommodating future growth. This decision marks a step towards enhancing the development landscape in San Antonio, with potential benefits for local residents and businesses.
