Zoning
City South Management Authority (CSMA) was created to oversee the compatible land uses within its boundaries and to support the vision of the City South Community Plan and now superseded by the Heritage South Sector Plan. Zoning helps ensure development occurs in a responsible manner and encourages compatible land-uses for the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens.

Overview of Zoning Classifications
Most of the zoning classifications within City South are Flexible Zoning Districts as found in the Unified Development Code of San Antonio. To find examples of Flexible Zoning Districts and their application and to learn more about the range of allowable uses within each district, click below. At the City of San Antonio Interactive Map you will find the property's zoning classification. If the property is outside of the city limits the classification will have a "CSMA" distinction following the code (e.g. "UD" CSMA).
