Say NO to a A high-density development (Townhomes) in Iron Horse Canyon

We, the residents of Iron Horse Canyon (IHC), petition the city of Helotes Planning and Zoning Commission to NOT rescind city ordinance regulating site vegetation and grading; and removing site zoning designation Townhouse Single Family Residential District (R-TH); and establishing a Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning designation for a townhome development for 4.844 acres of land generally located on Iron Horse Way near its intersection with Antonio Drive, Helotes, Texas 78023 (BCAD Property ID No. 240904).

A high-density development of the property identified above will…
- Create a significant safety risk to the community due to increased traffic volume, lack of sidewalks and the dangerous location of the ingress/egress points to/from the property (located on a hill)
- Pose real risk of erosion and property damage to IHC/adjoining properties due to excessive water run off
- Degrade property values in IHC due to inadequate code compliance (i.e., no Home Owner’s Association)
- Detract from Helotes’ image of being a country town with traditional family homes & reasonable size yards
