Design Discretion in Entitlements: The Hays St. Bridge Problem (May 2019)
Property adjacent to the Hays St. Bridge, in downtown San Antonio, would seem to have zoning and other entitlements allowing construction of a multi-family complex.

This discretion calls into question the nature of zoning entitlements.
