Proposed QuikTrip to displace Government Hill residents, some worry about property values
On Tuesday, the San Antonio Zoning Commission denied Quiktrip's request to rezone two acres of residential property for commercial use.
But this is not the end. City officials say the Planning Commission will take up the issue on Wednesday.
Both commissions will make recommendations to the full City Council. It will then be up to the council to approve or deny the zoning change.
Currently, people are living on the two acres of the property in question.
Quiktrip has said the property owner and the company are giving each tenant relocation assistance, which includes monetary aid and a real estate agent to help them find a new place.
