The Zoning Commission voted against the 2-mile Industrial Compatibility Overlay District surrounding the Toyota manufacturing plant.
The San Antonio Zoning Commission on Tuesday denied the city’s request to create a 2-mile industrial buffer zone around the Toyota plant that landowners in the area consider an intrusion on property rights., the commission voted not to recommend that City Council approve an Industrial Compatibility Overlay District as proposed in the draft
In the case of the proposed ICOD, future growth within 2 miles of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas would be limited to industrial uses to prevent potential safety conflicts between heavy industrial uses and commercial and residential. Feedback during that meeting led city staff to take a step back and ask the commission for another postponement, he said.
On Tuesday, Martinez said his family has owned property in the area since the 1930s and he was “shocked, disgusted and very angered” by what he heard at the July 2 public meeting. Local activist Weston Martinez holds a press conference on the industrial overlay zone that would impact landowners surrounding the Toyota Manufacturing Facility.During the hearing, property owner Andrew Nicholas also read from the Starbright agreement, referring to a section that calls for the city to create a zoning process and work with Toyota “as authorized by law” to establish an appropriate new zoning overlay.
Deputy City Attorney Susan Guinn explained that the ICOD proposal is not connected to the 2008 CCR about notifying council about zoning changes near Toyota and the Starbright agreement. “There have been other projects … that I have not supported in this area,” said Commissioner John Bustamante. Last year, developer Fermin Rajunovagainst the City of San Antonio and Toyota over the Starbright agreement after his rezoning request for a multifamily housing development was denied.
