Same thing happened here recently against Wal Mart--and the Residents won. They did not want Wal Mart to build one of its largerst stores here--I think they are called Ultra Wal Mart--or Super Wal MArt--not sure. Anyway, the residents of the southside of CC rose up and protested and forced the crappy city council we have--to deny that land to wal mart.
The city council in Helotes did the same thing last year - but there is a new mayor that is commercially oriented and is instead wanting possible park land developed for business. Such a shame!
