The city’s proposed “Industrial Compatibility Overlay District” (ICOD) would be the first of its kind in San Antonio and would heavily restrict commercial and residential development around one of the city’s largest manufacturers.
– The City of San Antonio is doing its best to sell a controversial, two-mile zoning buffer around the Toyota manufacturing plant to skeptical South Side rs.
Instead, the area within a mile of the Toyota plant would be used for industrial purposes, and the area between one and two miles out would be used for commercial or industrial development. However, the proposal has created a conflict of its own, drawing a frustrated crowd to the May 21 meeting of the city zoning commission. Two dozen speakers voiced concerns over how the change might affect their property values, how they could continue to use their land, and what they saw as the city performing a favor for a big company.
“Folks who live on the South Side have been telling us about various letters that they’ve received that have stated that ‘you’re going to lose the right to use your property. You’re going to, you know, the city’s eminent domaining you and those sorts of things. Those are just simply not true,” Niño said.
