This Master Plan will incorporate all Master Plans and NCDs for Mahncke Park, Tobin Hill, Monte Vista, River Road, Government Hill, and Westfort Alliance.
NCD Standards Review Process
NCD Review Drive for Email Petitions - Jessica Garza and Bert Hargesheimer are soon to meet with Councilwomen Chan and Taylor to request their support of the MPNA application to the City of San Antonio for a review of the MP NCD. If selected, our NCD would be the first to be reviewed by the City and would afford us the opportunity to review the relevance of existing NCD standards, and alter our design standards for our neighborhood as established in the review process.
We would like to have your support for our application to the city. You can show your support for a review of our current NCD by emailing This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , subject line should read: I support a review of MP NCD. Your show of support is simply for the application for review which may or may not be accepted by the city. ** Please understand that there are no specific design standards yet established beyond what our current NCD contains - all design standards would go through a rigorous and public review before being added to or removed from the current NCD.**
There will be no general meeting in August or October. Please remember to coordinate block parties and neighborly gatherings in recognition of Neighborhood Night Out Against Crime Oct. 6th.
