The San Antonio Board of Adjustment voted on a wide slate of land‑use requests during its meeting. Below are the items that were considered and the board’s formal outcomes, with short context and staff recommendations.
- BLA2510300189 (Item 3) — Continuance to Nov. 17. Motion to continue the appeal regarding a certificate of appropriateness was granted by voice vote. (Staff recommended continuance.)

- BOA2510300202 (Item 4, 9744 Culebra Road) — Landscape buffer reduction approved (variance from 15 ft to 3 ft) for a new park/trailhead proposed by the Parks & Recreation Department. Staff recommended approval and the board granted the variance unanimously; staff said the request was driven by FEMA floodplain constraints and the need to preserve developable area for parking and amenities.
- BOA2510300198 (Item 5, 4450 Forest Green Street) — Front‑setback variance approved to allow an existing carport to remain approximately 1 inch from the front property line due to the lot’s curved cul‑de‑sac frontage. Staff had recommended denial, citing visibility concerns, but the board approved unanimously after discussion of the site geometry.
- BOA2510300199 (Item 6, 1310 Hunters Blvd) — Staff recommended approval of a 752 sq ft accessory‑structure variance and denial of a corrugated‑metal fence material variance. The board approved both the accessory‑structure square footage variance and the fence material variance (with a cap/condition) unanimously, noting similar materials exist nearby and citing property size and security needs.
- BOA2510300200 (Item 7, 500 Tampico Street) — Fence‑height special exception approved (allow 8 ft fence along front yard) for a telecommunications substation to deter dumping and break‑ins; staff and neighborhood historic association supported approval; motion passed 11–0.
- BOA2510300201 (Item 8, 4711 Greenwood Ave) — Side‑setback and driveway clear‑vision variances approved to allow reconstruction on an existing foundation after fire damage; staff recommended denial for the setback but approval for clear vision; the board approved variances and required fire‑rating and permit work as part of the rebuilding process.
- BOA2510300203 (Item 9, 1041 Delgado Street) — Dual side‑setback variances for a rebuild were approved after staff examined the extent of reconstruction and supporting foundations; staff had recommended denial but the board approved based on existing historical footprint and owner testimony.
- BOA2510300205 (Item 10, 1319 Burnett Street) — Rear‑setback variance (3 ft 7 in into the 20 ft rear setback) and a driveway clear‑vision variance (allowing a 4 ft 4 in clearance) for an addition; staff recommended approval and the board approved the variances.
- BOA2510300211 (Item 11, 1529 Lehi Hall) — Front‑yard fence height special exception approved (7 ft predominantly open fence with 8 ft posts) to provide security for a business that abuts Interstate 10; staff recommended approval and the board concurred.
- BOA2510300214 (Item 13, 706 Las Olas Blvd) — Front‑setback variance approved to legitimize a carport nearly flush with the curb; the applicant cited medical and mobility needs and offered neighbor petition support. Staff noted the carport may encroach into public right‑of‑way and flagged potential permit adjustments during inspections.
- BOA2510300216 (Item 14, 328 W. Ellesmere) — Side‑setback variance approved to allow conversion of an existing, historic detached garage into a 337 sq ft ADU; staff recommended approval and the item passed.
Across the batch, staff mailed between 11 and 98 notices depending on the item; most items drew little or no public opposition in the record, although some generated neighborhood correspondence (both for and against). If items involve unpermitted work, applicants are required to complete permits and pay any associated fees or penalties; Development Services staff will follow up on next steps for inspections and compliance.
