Community Engagement

This survey is will be open until Tuesday, July 18, 2023. Thank you for taking the time to make sure your voice is heard for your city!

Project Background

The Rolling Oaks Area 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 Rolling Oaks Regional Center helps multi-generational households, residents, and businesses thrive by respecting, celebrating, and connecting the area’s rich history and authenticity, community destinations and gathering places, and family friendly recreational amenities with clean and green infrastructure.

Draft Goals:

  1. Promote quality development that is compatible with existing neighborhoods and includes additional housing and employment options for existing and new residents.
  2. Ensure that existing residents and businesses – and the culture and authenticity they represent – are a part of the Regional Center Area moving forward as public and private improvements are made.
  3. Facilitate and guide new development to maintain the existing relationship of safe and quiet neighborhoods tucked between commercial and mixed-use areas.
  4. Retrofit auto-oriented commercial development to be more walkable and provide a greater diversity of locally serving restaurant and retail options.
  5. Expand the amount and variety of transit services throughout and connecting the Regional Center to other area destinations and amenities.
  6. Improve existing connections and create new connections that are truly multimodal, aesthetically pleasing and provide stormwater benefits.
  7. Provide more parks, open space, trails and recreational amenities throughout the Regional Center.
  8. Encourage responsible watershed management through sustainable and resilient public investments, private development, and strategic partnerships.

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