News Notes

Civic

The San Antonio Water System voted yesterday to propose a roughly 23% increase to its impact fees. Typically used to offset the cost of running utilities to new developments, developers can see rates increase from $5,902 to $7,343 at the lower end. City Council will hear the proposal in late spring.

Closed

The Krazy Katsu location in the Medical Center (9390 Huebner Rd.) is temporarily closed after its copper electrical panel was stolen. During the closure, the San Antonio eatery has a second location in Olmos Park (5257 McCullough Ave.) that remains open to satisfy your fried Japanese sandwich needs.

Development

The city’s Zoning Commission approved of rezoning for the Lofts at Grocer project at 421 N. Medina St. Local organizations American Agape Foundation and Partners in Community Development plan to construct 48-units to create a senior affordable housing community. The Historic and Design Review Commission still needs to approve before breaking ground. (SA Business)

Texas’ favorite grocery chain, H-E-B, opened its newest store just minutes north of the Alamo City in Fair Oaks at 29388 IH 10 West — Boerne readers, we’re looking at you. Here, everything is better, or at least that’s what San Antonians say about their favorite neighborhood grocery store.
