The developers pulled their application and the project is officially canceled. This is a massive win for the Silver Oaks community and proves that local pressure works. Keep an eye on local zoning filings to ensure this land remains protected.

Concerned voters/residents,
Silver Oaks and nearby Communities
DETAILS KNOWN BY CONCERNED VOTERS/RESIDENTS:
- An upcoming election is scheduled November 4, 2014 for city officials.
-The NRP Developer plans to build 108 affordable rental housing units at 8401 N FM1560 named Eagles Rest on 12 acres directly behind new homes in the Silver Oaks Subdivision directly behind Mexican Alder and Autumndale. These units will have full sight into backyards of new homeowners and will most likely bring down the value of our newly built homes.
- The NRP Developer should have met with the HOAs in the area before moving forward with their construction plans.
- A resolution in support of the Eagles Rest Development for the 2014 competitive 9% housing tax credit application was approved on 3/20/2014 by Julian Castro and 10 District Representatives.
- Commissioners Rodriguez, Elizondo, Wolff, and Adkisson approved of the tax credit at the March 25, 2014 Orders of Commissioners Court (OCC) Meeting.
- Both affordable housing complexes in Alamo Ranch and Silver Oaks were approved by the Commissioners at the exact same time and at the same OCC meeting on March 25th.
- A petition signed by more than 1000 residents in Alamo Ranch Subdivisions protested the proposed 120 affordable rental housing units by the APC developer at Alamo parkway and Wild Pine near loop 1604 and state highway 151.
-The county Commissioners RESCINDED their resolution of support for affordable housing units IN Alamo Ranch in the Northwest side of San Antonio but there was no mention of the Eagles Rest Development that is literally right down the street from Alamo Ranch on FM1560.

The momentum we have built shows that our community will not accept these plans in silence. Call your city council representative today to tell them that the lack of transparency about this development is unacceptable.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS. we moved out here for the schools and the quiet. way too much traffic on fm1560 as it is without another 100 cars.
Freddie, we have made contact. What blows my mind is that city council rescinded their approval for the housing planned within Alamo Ranch with TDCHA but did not take action for the housing down the street from Alamo Ranch. They were both approved at the same time, same date, and same meeting. One was listed right after the other within this documentation you provided.

my property value is gonna tank if they put this right behind my fence. cant believe they didnt even bother to tell any of us before starting this
Hope everyone is clicking the See More wording to review all the facts found so far.
After looking for community support for this petition I found out that my neighborhood, Laura Heights didn't have a Facebook community page. The page is now up! Please spread the word and let's pass information more effectively. https://www.facebook.com/groups/730674637011968/
