Development Changes Being Proposed for The East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood
Several new development projects are being proposed for our neighborhood
that will require altering or rewriting the development rules
for the Plaza Saltillo Transit Oriented Development area (“Saltillo TOD”).
This area runs roughly from East 7th Street to East 4th Street,
and from I-35 to Chicon.
Developers are asking to build taller and denser projects.
How our community decides to grow will influence
the character and spirit of the neighborhood we call home.
