 is a commercial district that serves five distinct neighborhoods including the rapidly redeveloping Pearl District. The planning team generated a traditional TIRZ plan that ties catalytic public projects to increased tax revenue from private development, a survey of possible Low Impact Development strategies for storm water management, an analysis of infill development issues in San Antonio, and recommendations on the appropriate character of new developments.

The city initiated an infill development task force that revised the city’s development code and review process to streamline the infill development process.){kind=link}
