Thousands of landowners near the Texas Toyota plant are wondering if their land still belongs to them.
In this special, Angela Brown explains our partnership with Feeding America for the "Sinclair Cares: Summer Hunger Relief" campaign.Tempers recently flared after Toyota ’s expansion and its approval by city council and county commissioners. Many were caught off guard by a proposed re-zoning overlay by the city, which would prevent any new residential and commercial development within a 2-to-3-mile radius of the plant.
“We love Toyota! I think it’s a great investment in our city. We love Toyota, but Toyota has to love us too,” says Rajunov. “We want to do affordable homes around it. We need affordable homes. We have 600 homes in place and the idea and growth of the master plan community is to do affordable apartments,” says Rajunov.
"We are proposing the industrial compatibility overlay district in order to ensure that we limit the potential for future residents to live adjacent to a heavy industrial use,” says Rudy Nino, Jr. Asst. Dir. of the Planning Department for the City of San Antonio."There were problems when you allow industrial traffic to mix with local residential traffic. We know that already," says Nino.
