The San Antonio Conservation Society has been involved with the conservation of San Antonio’s historic missions for more than 90 years.   We played a central role in both the creation of the National Historical Park and the inscription of the San Antonio Missions as a World Heritage site.  Recently, we spoke in support of proposed zoning changes designed to encourage compatible development around the southern missions.   City Council approved the rezoning.

We also made a statement against the rezoning of 808 E. Carson in the Government Hill Historic District.  This request to increase density provided another example of a project in conflict with an existing neighborhood plan. Nevertheless, City Council also approved this zoning change.
