The San Antonio Zoning Commission meeting on August 5, 2025, focused on a proposed zoning change for a property located on Bourn Street. The property, currently designated for residential use, is being considered for a multi-use development that includes medical offices, rental spaces, and a café aimed at community outreach.

Andrea and Randy Wormlee, the property owners and members of the Rembrandt investment group, presented their vision for the site. They plan to convert the existing building into a space that would house eight offices for professionals, including lawyers and real estate agents, alongside a café that would serve as a community hub. The Wormlees emphasized that the café would not only provide a gathering place but also support local non-profit organizations by reinvesting profits into community initiatives.

The proposal aims to maintain the residential character of the area while allowing for commercial use. The Wormlees highlighted the potential benefits for local residents, including students from nearby universities and community members, who would have access to the café and its programs. They also mentioned plans for various community activities, including training sessions for high school students and veterans, art exhibitions, and events for seniors.

Despite the positive community impact outlined by the Wormlees, city staff recommended denying the zoning change. The commission will consider the proposal further, weighing the potential benefits against the current residential zoning designation. The meeting concluded without public comments, leaving the future of the project uncertain as the commission deliberates on the implications of the proposed changes.
