Cibolo Canyons residents are appealing a land swap deal allowing a Florida developer to acquire 30 acres of protected land.
Homes in the Cibolo Canyons neighborhood surround a pocket of land that was declared a protected habitat for the endangered migratory golden-cheeked warbler.A land swap deal allowing a Florida-based developer to trade 144 acres of land it had slated for development for 30 acres of federally protected land that is home to an endangered bird species has quietly gone into effect on San Antonio’s North Side.
She added that she and other residents had filed a petition with the Fish and Wildlife Service asking to be alerted of its final decision.Starwood Lands plans to build a new residential and multifamily development on the 30 acres and has started marking trees and landmarks with flags and paint, said Temple.In their appeal, the group outlined three reasons the decision should be overturned, including the lack of notification.
It’s unclear when the building will officially begin on the 30-acre parcel. Starwood Land CEO Mike Moser had not responded to a call for comment from the Report by the time of publication. The developer initially asked the Fish and Wildlife Service for 63 acres of protected land that it could develop in exchange for its 144 acres of unprotected land; that unprotected land would then become part of the conservation easement.
