Release Date: October 14, 2011 City of San Antonio Communications Office: 207-7234 Public invited to discuss Commercial Design Standards for Austin Highway/ Harry Wurzbach Metropolitan Corridor The City of San Antonio's Department of Planning and Community Development is holding a public meeting to discuss the development of commercial design standards for the Austin Highway/Harry Wurzbach Metropolitan Corridor. The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2011 at St. Pius X Catholic Church, located at 3303 Urban Crest. The proposed design standards would apply to future commercial construction projects along Austin Highway between North New Braunfels and Loop 410 and along Harry Wurzbach between Loop 410 and Fort Sam Houston. These standards would focus on preserving the commercial character and historic significance of the corridor by creating unifying standards for new commercial construction addressing such items as building materials, landscaping and signage. At the meeting, the community will have an opportunity to learn more about the Corridor Overlay District program and provide input on the draft design standards. After this meeting, the Planning Team will review the feedback and edit the draft design standards. A third public meeting will be scheduled in December so the greater community can review the final draft design standards. The design standards will then be forwarded in January to the Zoning Commission and to City Council for approval as part of a new zoning overlay district for Austin Highway and Harry Wurzbach.
