River Improvement Overlay Districts (RIO)
RIO is a zoning overlay. Its purpose is to establish regulations to protect,
preserve and enhance the San Antonio River and its improvements by establishing
design standards and guidelines for properties located near the river. The San
Antonio River is a unique and precious natural, cultural and historic resource
that provides a physical connection through San Antonio by linking a variety of
neighborhoods, cultural sites, public parks and destinations. The districts
cover a total of six geographic areas spanning the river from its northern
boundary, near Hildebrand Avenue, to a southern boundary near Mission Espada
and the southern City Limits. The RIO design objectives were developed through
an intensive public input process and were adopted as part of the enabling
ordinance approved by City Council on February 21, 2002.
