FACT SHEETLETTER OF MAP REVISION

As land use is altered or community drainage systems are updated or modified, the floodplain within a community may also change. Local developers, transportation authorities and other community partners who participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) work closely with community officials to determine the impacts of development and submit identified flood hazards to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to maintain the integrity of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs).

FEMA updates floodplain maps through a variety of approaches, such as a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR).

Bexar County Plat Review Process

0. Engineering/Plat Application The Engineering firm responsible for the layout and creation of the plat submits the plat application and review fees to the Public Works Office. (City of San Antonio when the plat is in the ETJ of City of San Antonio. The City of San Antonio will assign a plat number.)

I. Plat/Plan Intake All Plat packages are reviewed for completeness. Review of a plat will not begin until all applicable materials are submitted for review (e.g. plats, plans, reports, digital files, etc.) Complete packages are entered into County Plat Database/TPLT and distributed to program sections for review. II. Plat Review Plats are reviewed for completeness, engineering accuracy and compliance with platting regulations. If there are any items that require correction, do not comply with engineering and safety standards, or do not comply with local subdivision plat regulations, comments will be generated by the appropriate program area. Program Areas are sections of review that check the plat for separate, although closely related and sometimes overlapping, subject matters. These program areas are: General Platting, Streets and Drains, Floodplains, Traffic and Environmental (on-site sewer facilities.) Program areas will review to the requirements of the Uniform Development Code of the City of San Antonio. Once all of these Program Areas have completed their reviews, they will either: generate comments for the engineer to address and resubmit a revised plat/plan package, recommend approval of the plat package, or recommend denial of the plat package. Plats that are recommended for denial have reached a point where the county and engineer do not agree on certain technical merits of the plat or construction plans and require a variance action by the (City of San Antonio if in the ETJ and) Commissioners Court to decide if the plat is approved or denied. IV. Plat Consideration A plat package will undergo one of two procedures before submittal to Commissioners Court depending on its location within the unincorporated area of the County:

1) If the Plat lies within the ETJ (Extraterritorial Jurisdiction) of the City of San Antonio, it must also be processed by the City of San Antonio Development Services Department/Public Works and approved by the City Planning Commission. A Letter of Certification (LOC) is generated by Bexar County for the plat to proceed to the City of San Antonio for consideration. Bexar County will generate such an LOC after all program areas have reviewed the plat/plan package. The LOC will state that the plat/plan package has been reviewed and will state a recommendation for approval or denial. Once a plat is approved by the City Planning Commission, mylars (final plat copies) are sent from city offices to the County Office for submission to Commissioner’s Court.

2) If the Plat lies outside of the City of San Antonio’s ETJ, mylars will be received by the County office directly from the Engineer and prepared for submission to the Commissioners Court.

V. Commissioners Court Once mylars have been received, a final review of the plat mylars is conducted by the County Development Services Staff before they are submitted to the Commissioners Court. Plats are added to the Court agenda as soon as they have been prepared. Once approved by the Court, they will be signed by the County Judge and County Clerk and are ready for recordation. In the case of Minor or Amending plats, the Executive Director of the Infrastructure Services Department will certify the plats on behalf of the County Judge. VI. Recordation After review and approval by Commissioners Court, (Executive Director for minor and amending plats) the plat will be sent for recordation upon payment of recordation fees. Plats will be recorded by County staff (or City of San Antonio Staff if in COSA’s ETJ) and fees will be paid to County Staff (or City Staff at the time the plat application is made to COSA). Copies of recorded plats will then be available from the Deed Records Division of the Clerks office in the County Courthouse.

Sec. 35-431. - Application for Plat Identification Number/Letters of Certification.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The purpose of this section is to assist the applicant in obtaining necessary certifications needed for plat approval and to coordinate

applications for subdivision approval with the standards and procedures required by this chapter.

Applicability. Prior to filing an application for plat approval, the applicant shall secure letters of certification as

required by this section.

Initiation.

Certifying Departments. A request for letters of certification and required items shall be filed by the applicant

with the following entities (hereinafter "certifying entities):

Department of planning and community development.

Office of historic preservation.

SAWS or other entity/entities providing water and/or wastewater service to the project.

CPS Energy or other entity/entities providing electric and/or natural gas service to the project.

Department of parks and recreation. Nonresidential plats at the discretion of the development services

director in consultation with the director of the parks and recreation department may not be submitted to

the parks and recreation department for review and comment on park or open space dedication.

Nonresidential plats will be submitted to the parks and recreation department for information purposes

only. If the parks and recreation department should find a plat that they wish to comment on they may do

so by submitting such comment to the attention of the development services director at least twenty-four

(24) hours prior to the planning commission meeting at which the plat is to be heard.

Applicable county.

Department of development services.

Referral. If rights-of-way and/or easements for telephone, cable television, or internet service are provided, the

applicant shall depict them on the plat. Where applicable, a completed request for review form shall be

required from Bexar Metro 911 and/or the City Aviation Department.



(3)

(4)

(5)

(c)

Copies to Development Services Director. A copy of each request for an application for plat identification number/letter of

shall be filed with the director of development services. The request for an application for plat identification number/letter of

certification shall contain the information prescribed in Appendix "B". In order to track the application, the director of development

services will assign a plat identification number to the letters of certification in the event that an application for subdivision plat

approval is filed.

Plat Number. Prior to submitting a plat, replat, or amending plat for review by the city or any other agency, the

applicant shall complete a plat application with the department of development services, provide a digital file

of the boundaries in accordance with subsection 35-B101(e) and obtain a plat number.

When a plat ID number is initially requested, applicants shall pay the total application for plat identification

number/letters of certification processing fee in connection with the request for a plat ID number. The planning

commission processing fee shall be remitted at the time the planning commission plat application is submitted.

To accrue rights under Chapter 245 an applicant shall submit information describing the project that provides

fair notice of the project to the city. The director of development services shall then review the application for

completeness to ascertain that all required items and associated information for administrative review

purposes have been submitted.

Fees. At the time an application for a plat number is submitted, the applicant shall pay to the City of San

Antonio the platting fees specified in Appendix "C" in the manner described in subsection (b)(4). The platting

fees are not transferable to other properties nor are they refundable. However, refunds shall be granted if the

fees collected are in excess of the amount required at the time of plat filing, and such excess is not due to a

substantial design change from that which was indicated on the initial application, or if an error in the plat fee

calculation is discovered. If a plat is not formally filed with the planning commission within two (2) years from

the date of the plat application, the application expires and new platting fees shall be required. The following

situations shall be exempt from platting fees:

• City of San Antonio projects which involve platting, and which are payable from the general fund.

• Permeable areas identified on a proposed plat such as private or public drains, conservation, landscape, or

greenbelt easements.

Completeness Review. Upon receipt of a request for letters of certification, the director of planning and

development services shall classify the request as a tentative major subdivision or a tentative minor subdivision.

However, a plat that the director of planning and development services finds is for the sole purpose of amending

one (1) or more building setback lines shall be submitted to the planning commission for consideration without

review by any other agency. Such plat shall be referred to as a building setback line plat (BSL) and shall comply with

all provisions of Chapter 212 of the Texas Local Government Code. It is noted that while the city has created an

expedited review process and waived the public hearing notification fee, the proposed BSL plat will have to comply

with the public hearing provisions noted in article IV.

The appellate agency for purposes of completeness review (see subsection 35-402(c) of this chapter) shall be the

planning commission. When a certifying department determines that the proposed plat or any of the required

accompanying data does not conform with the requirements of this chapter, the certifying department shall so

notify the applicant and director of planning and development services. If the certifying department issues a letter of

certification recommending disapproval of the proposed plat, the letter shall indicate the section and specific

requirement of the regulations and the manner in which the request does not comply. The applicant may then

revise the nonconforming aspects or may file the proposed request with the planning commission pursuant to



(1)

(d)

(1)

(2)

(3)

(e)

(f)

(g)

section 35-432 of this chapter, with or without a request for a variance (section 35-483 of this article) provided,

however, that if no variance request is submitted and approved and the application does not conform to this

chapter, the application shall be denied.

Tentative Minor Subdivisions. Respective reviewing departments and agencies shall report to the director of

planning and development services whether the request for letters of certification is complete within five (5)

days after submittal of the request.

Tentative Major Subdivisions. Respective reviewing departments and agencies shall report to the director of

planning and development services whether the request for letters of certification is complete within ten (10)

days after submittal of the request.

Decision. A letter of certification shall be issued digitally by the reviewing agency and maintained in the city's

application tracking system prior to subdivision plat approval. The following procedures shall apply to the issuance

of a letter of certification:

LOC Technical Minor Subdivisions Plat Review. After respective certifying departments and agencies have

determined whether the request for letters of certification and required technical data is complete each

certifying department shall issue a letter of certification within ten (10) working days. The applicant may at

his/her option revise any nonconforming aspects. However, if any data are revised and resubmitted, the

certifying department shall have an additional ten (10) days from the latest date of submission to issue or deny

a revised letter of certification.

LOC Technical Major Subdivisions Plat Review. After respective certifying departments and agencies have

determined whether the request for letters of certification and required technical data is complete each

certifying department shall issue a letter of certification within fifty (50) days. When a certifying department or

agency determines that the proposed plat or any of the required accompanying data does not conform with

the requirements of this chapter, the applicant may at his/her option revise any nonconforming aspects. If any

data is revised and resubmitted, the certifying department/agency shall have up to fifty (50) days from the

latest date of submission minus the number of days used for the initial review to issue or deny a letter of

certification. In no case shall the certifying department have fewer than ten (10) days to review a resubmittal.

Failure to Submit Letter of Certification. If a letter of certification is not issued or denied within the time

periods prescribed in subsections (1) or (2), above, the same shall be deemed issued and the applicant may

submit an application for subdivision plat approval pursuant to section 35-432, below, without submitting the

letter of certification.

Approval Criteria. Approval criteria do not apply to this section because a letter of certification does not authorize

any subdivision or development activity, and any action by the certifying department shall constitute only a

recommendation as to whether the activities subject to the request for letters of certification would comply with the

requirements of this chapter. The letters of certification request is a process for compiling a complete application for

subdivision review.

Subsequent Applications. Not applicable.

Amendments. A letter of certification may be amended prior to filing an application for subdivision approval if the

proposed amendment:

• Does not increase the number of lots subject to the application.

• Does not increase by more than five (5) percent the lineal footage of roadways or the areas within the paved

surface of the street right-of-way.



(h)

(a)

(b)

(c)

(1)

(2)

(d)

• Does not reduce the amount of open space within the proposed subdivision.

Scope of Approval. A letter of certification does not authorize the development or subdivision of land. Upon receipt

of all letters of certification, the applicant may submit an application for subdivision plat approval.

Letters of certification shall remain valid for nine (9) months from the date of issuance by the certifying

department/agency. After that time period, new or updated letters of certification shall be required to file a

proposed plat with the planning commission.

The director's decision to classify a subdivision as major or minor is based upon information provided by the

applicant. If the conditions relating to the classification of a subdivision as major or minor change (such as an

increase in the number of lots or a subsequent application for a subdivision variance), the letters of certification

shall become null and void and the applicant shall refile the request for letters of certification.

Sec. 35-432. - Procedures for Subdivision Plat Approval.

Applicability. The provisions of this section apply to any minor subdivision plat, major subdivision plat, or development

plat.

Initiation. A final submittal for subdivision plat approval may be filed after a letter of certification or a revised letter of

certification has been issued by the certifying agencies. An application for subdivision plat approval shall not be filed until

after a letter of certification or a revised letter of certification has been issued by each certifying agency. As required by

V.T.C.A. Local Government Code § 212.008, an application for plat approval shall be filed with the planning commission.

The director of planning and development services shall serve as the agent for the planning commission for purposes of

accepting plat applications pursuant to this chapter. For the purpose of the time limits established by V.T.C.A. Local

Government Code § 212.009, no plat shall be deemed filed with the planning commission until the plat, and all required

items as set forth in this chapter, performance agreement as applicable, tax certificates, letters of certification and, if

applicable, a request for a variance as specified in section 35-483 have been submitted to the planning commission. The

plat application shall expire unless the plat application is heard by and approved by the director of planning and

development services or the planning commission within twenty-four (24) months from the date the plat application is

submitted to the department of planning and development services.

Completeness Review for Plat Approval.

The director of planning and development services shall determine whether letters of certification have been

completed and whether the submittal contains the information required by Appendix "B" to this chapter.

Completeness review shall be governed by this section and section 35-402, to the extent not inconsistent with this

section. The appellate agency for purposes of completeness review (see subsection 35-402(c) of this chapter) shall be

the planning commission.

Review and Acknowledgement. No plat shall be considered filed until review and acceptance of the master

development plan is completed.

Decision.

Reviewing Agency. The reviewing agency for major plats is the planning commission. The reviewing agency for

minor plats is the director of planning and development services unless a variance is requested, in which case the

reviewing agency shall be the planning commission. For plats located in the ETJ which involve a variance or

(2)

(3)

administrative exception the respective county shall also review and may deny the variance prior to issuing the

applicant a letter of certification (LOC).

Time Limit for Approval. The reviewing agency shall act on a plat within thirty (30) days after the date the plat is

filed. Plats shall not be deemed filed unless and until it is determined that complete information has been provided,

as set forth in subsection (c) of this section. A plat is deemed approved unless it is approved or disapproved within

the thirty-day period.

Withdrawal of Application. Once filed with the reviewing agency, a plat may be withdrawn provided that a written

notice of withdrawal stating the reasons for the request is submitted to the director of planning and development

services. The thirty-day time limitation shall cease on the date that the notice is received by the director; however,

the director may elect to present a withdrawal request to the planning commission for consideration. A plat

application shall be void for all purposes if it is withdrawn by the applicant.

Planning Commission Certification. Pursuant to V.T.C.A. Local Government Code § 212.0115, the planning

commission shall on approval of a plat issue to the applicant a certificate as set out in Appendix "B" stating that the

plat or plan has been reviewed and approved by the commission.

Criteria. No person shall subdivide any tract of land except in conformity with the provisions of this chapter. The plat shall

be approved unless it is inconsistent with any of the criteria set forth in article V of this chapter. The plat shall not be

approved if it does not comply with any of the criteria set forth in article V of this chapter. The decision making entity shall

approve a plat if it conforms to:

• The master plan of the city and its current and future streets, alleys, parks, playgrounds, and public utility facilities;

• The transportation plan and major thoroughfare plan for the extension of major thoroughfares, streets, and public

highways within San Antonio and in its extraterritorial jurisdiction, taking into account access to and extension of sewer

and water mains and the instrumentalities of public utilities;

• Any applicable watershed master drainage plan adopted by the city; and

• The rules and regulations contained within article V of this chapter.

Subsequent Applications. There is no restriction on reapplication for subdivision approval.

Amendments. Amendments to a subdivision plat shall be approved in the same manner as the original plat, except as

otherwise provided for amending plats or replats herein.

Scope of Approval.

Approval Does Not Constitute Acceptance. The approval of a subdivision plat is not considered an acceptance of

any proposed dedication for public use or use by persons other than the owner of the property covered by the plat

and does not impose on the city or county any duty regarding the maintenance or improvement of any purportedly

dedicated parts until the governing body makes an actual appropriation of the dedicated parts by formal

acceptance, entry, use, or improvement.

Failure to Approve. An application for plat approval shall expire, and shall be void for all purposes if a plat is not

approved in accordance with this chapter within two (2) years from the date that the plat number was assigned.

Upon expiration of the plat application, a new plat number, application and fee shall be required if plat approval is

still sought.

Failure to Record. If a plat is not recorded in the county deed and plat records within three (3) years from the date

of plat approval or upon expiration of any time extension thereto, approval of such plat shall expire. Thereafter,

should the applicant desire to record the plat, a new application shall be required in the same manner as for a

These districts provide areas for medium- to high-density, single-family residential uses where adequate public facilities and services

exist with capacity to serve development. These districts are composed mainly of areas containing single-family dwellings and open area

where similar residential development seems likely to occur. Residential single-family provides minimum lot size and density

requirements in order to preserve neighborhood character.

These districts implement the following policies of the master plan:

• Urban Design, Policy 1a: Based on a comprehensive land use plan, encourage more intensive development in and near

neighborhood centers with less intensive development between neighborhood centers, and implement these changes

through zoning.

• Urban Design, Policy 1c: Encourage patterns of urban development that provide a full range of housing choices and

promote a sense of community, urban vitality and the efficient provision of infrastructure.

• Urban Design, Policy 1a: Define, preserve and promote neighborhood centers which include schools, libraries, stores,

These districts provide areas for medium to high-density residential uses where adequate public facilities and services exist with

capacity to serve development. These districts are composed mainly of areas containing a mixture of single-family, two-family and multi-

family dwellings and open space where similar residential development seems likely to occur. The district regulations are designed to

encourage a suitable neighborhood environment for family life by including among the permitted uses such facilities as schools and

churches; and to preserve the openness of the area by requiring flexible yard and area standards. Mixed residential districts provide

flexible density requirements in order to allow for market and design flexibility while preserving the neighborhood character and

permitting applicants to cluster development in order to preserve environmentally sensitive and agricultural land areas.

These districts implement the following policies of the master plan:

• Urban Design, Policy 1a: Based on a comprehensive land use plan, encourage more intensive development in and near

neighborhood centers with less intensive development between neighborhood centers, and implement these changes

through zoning.

• Urban Design, Policy 1c: Encourage patterns of urban development that provide a full range of housing choices and

promote a sense of community, urban vitality and the efficient provision of infrastructure.





• Urban Design, Policy 5b: Encourage resident and employment growth within walking distance of the downtown area

and neighborhood centers in order to support an inter-modal transportation system.

"MF-18" Limited Density Multi-Family.


Multi-family residence limited density "MF-18" district is the designation for a multi-family use with a maximum density of up to

eighteen (18) units per acre, depending on unit size. An "MF-18" district designation may be applied to a use in a residential

neighborhood that contains a mixture of single-family and multi-family uses or in an area for which limited density multi-family use is

desired. An "MF-18" district may be used as a transition between a single-family and higher intensity uses.

"MF-25" Low Density Multi-Family.


Multi-family residence low density "MF-25" district is the designation for a multi-family use with a maximum density of up to twenty-

five (25) units per acre, depending on unit size. An "MF-25" district designation may be applied to a use in a residential neighborhood

that contains a mixture of single-family and multi-family uses or in an area for which low density multi-family use is desired. An "MF-25"

district may be used as a transition between a single-family and higher intensity uses.

"MF-33" Multi-Family.


Multi-family residence medium density "MF-33" district is the designation for multi-family use with a maximum density of up to

thirty-three (33) units per acre, depending on unit size. An "MF-33" district designation may be applied to a use in a multi-family

residential area located near supporting transportation and commercial facilities in a centrally located area or in an area for which

medium density multi-family use is desired.



Multi-family residence moderate - high density "MF-40" district is the designation for multi-family and group residential use with a

maximum density of forty (40) units per acre, depending on unit size. An "MF-40" district designation may be applied to high density

housing in a centrally located area near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, in an area adjacent to the downtown

business district or a major institutional or employment center, or in an area for which moderate to high density multi-family use is

Sec. 35-310.14. - "I-2" Heavy Industrial.


This district accommodates uses that are highly hazardous, environmentally severe in character and/or generate very high volumes

of truck traffic. The "I-2" district is established in order to provide sites for activities which involve major transportation terminals, and

manufacturing facilities that have a greater impact on the surrounding area than industries found in the "L" or" I-1" district. These

districts are located for convenient access for existing and future arterial thoroughfares and railway lines. These districts are in many

instances separated from residential areas by business or light industry areas or by natural barriers; where they are adjacent to

residential areas some type of artificial separation may be required. The "I-2" district implements the following policies of the master

plan:

• Ensure that proposed land uses and development are compatible in their use, character and size to the site and the

surrounding areas (Growth Management, Policy 1b).

• Support and encourage efforts to diversify the economic base of San Antonio (Economic Development, Policy 1e).

• Natural Resources, Policy 1g: Promote the safe storage of hazardous materials in locations that do not endanger

neighborhoods.

• Natural Resources, Policy 1g: Identify and establish appropriate locations and standards for the storage of hazardous

and toxic materials.

• Natural Resources, Policy 1g: Consider during the zoning process and when issuing building permits and certificates of

occupancy, the proximity of residential neighborhoods to the storage of hazardous materials.

The zone and its uses should continue the orderly development and concentration of industrial and manufacturing uses. The land

area should be sufficient to maintain compatibility with surrounding uses.

General Provisions.

Storage yards shall be completely screened from the boundary of any property not zoned "L," "I-1" or "I-2."

All driveways, parking areas, and pedestrian ways shall be surfaced with an all weather surface.
