Plano Sued Over Rezoning by Developer in Dispute
Gen Walter Stephens files a $900000 federal suit against Plano, nine officials, and the city, alleging unjust rezoning of 15 acres that lowered property value. He claims Council members pressed for a change to restrict multi family housing to keep minorities away, while officials dispute the charges and note surrounding zoning had shifted since 1969.
