San Antonio City Council has taken significant steps in land use planning during its recent zoning and land use session on October 2, 2025. The council approved a series of items on the consent agenda, paving the way for various developments in the community.
Among the key discussions was agenda item number 6, which involved a change of zoning for a property located at 13297 FM 1937. The council voted to rezone 3.01 acres from residential (R-4) to commercial (C-2) with a conditional use for a funeral home and undertaking parlor. Additionally, 69.08 acres were rezoned to R-4S with a specific use authorization for a cemetery, columbarium, or mausoleum. This area was amended down from an original 73.75 acres, resulting in a total of 72.09 acres designated for these uses.
The decision to waive certain provisions of the city code regarding cemeteries was also part of this agenda item, indicating a tailored approach to meet the needs of the community while adhering to zoning regulations.
The approval of these zoning changes is expected to enhance local services and provide essential facilities for residents, reflecting the council's commitment to addressing community needs through thoughtful land use planning. As the city continues to grow, these developments will play a crucial role in shaping the landscape of San Antonio.
