Northeast ETJ growth management plan

San Antonio

Summary

The area's population is projected to nearly double by 2050, and this plan sets how land in the ETJ can develop. It lowers allowed density to six to eight units per acre in most areas to protect the aquifer, Camp Bullis, and Randolph flight paths — a shift some council members questioned as too restrictive.
