Thank you for taking the time to make sure your voice is heard for your city!

Project Background

The Stone Oak Regional Center Plan ("Plan") will help guide development and investments in the area over the next 10 to 15 years. Specifically, the Plan will address the following topics:

  • Land Use
  • Housing
  • Economic Development
  • Mobility
  • Amenities and Public Spaces

In Community Survey #3, the City of San Antonio Planning Department is requesting input on draft Land Use, Housing, and Economic Development recommendations, in addition to requesting input that will be used to develop similar draft recommendations for Mobility, and Amenities & Public Spaces needs specifically for the plan area. All recommendations are meant to build on the Plan’s draft Vision and Goals, which were developed using community input from past surveys and community meetings.

Draft Vision:

The Stone Oak Area Regional Center maintains its natural integrity with ample natural parks and trails, open space, and trees and is well-served with local shops, restaurants, employment and entertainment organized into walkable community hubs supported with resilient infrastructure and connected by a multi-modal roadway and trail network that respects the area’s natural systems and topography. 

Draft Goals:

  1. Promote development, programming and design that encourages walkability in key areas and is compatible with existing neighborhoods and the natural landscape of the area.  

  2. Facilitate development patterns that include local employment and entertainment opportunities in highly walkable and connected activity centers with a variety of amenities catering to different lifestyles.  

  3. Increase the number and diversity of housing opportunities while preserving natural and improved parks and open space interspersed throughout the area to create connectivity for multi-modal transportation options.  

  4. Ensure transportation and other infrastructure is designed to minimize impacts on the natural landscape and implemented prior to or concurrently with new development.

  5. Increase equitable access to parks, open space, trails and diverse recreational amenities throughout the Regional Center.

  6. Create housing, employment, goods and services that serve, support and are accessible to youth, families and older adults.

  7. Incorporate environmentally friendly and sustainable development practices to accommodate growth while preserving natural resources such as groundwater conservation and natural landscaping. 

  8. Create a business-friendly environment that attracts corporations of varying sizes and higher education facilities to locate in the Stone Oak Area Regional Center so that there are diverse employment and educational opportunities.

The boundaries of the Plan area are shown on the Study Area map. Please reference this map when answering questions.
