Dallas Planning
07/21/22
Welcome to Ultraground. We go to your local zoning meetings to make sure you don't miss a single Dallas zoning change.
July 21 Docket:
1400-Unit mixed-use
13.5-Acre industrial
Upcoming ADU Overlay
Read time: 3m
Original meeting time: 9h 33m
West Oak Cliff ADUs
Oak Cliff | ADUs By Right | Upcoming
The meeting opened with the discussion of an area plan overlay for the West Jefferson Bus Line.
Missing middle housing would be permitted within a half mile of the stations. ADUs in sfr neighborhoods (r5-r7.5) were the main point of discussion. These would be By Right.
Lots within .5 mile of the West Jefferson Bus Line will be able to be developed at 8 du/single family lot.
This is upcoming, so no decision was made on the day.
Preston Del Norte Redevelopment
Far North Dallas | 6.8 acres | 1400 Units
Terracap's mixed-use development will bring green space, housing, and retail to Dallas.
Elephant in the room: no detailed plans. The team showed precedents only, which the board took a disliking to.
"I guess I'm wondering why there isn't more of a concept when you're asking for this kind of density."
The board asked: would you bring your kids out to play in this green space?
This project was tabled until the August 18th Meeting. We're hanging tight.
Savannah/Russell Glen
East of Wolf Creek | 91.4 acres | 950 Units
Massive mixed-use development incoming 12 miles due south of downtown Dallas.
Close to 1000 units will be spread between single family, townhouse, multifamily, and retirement housing.
It'll also have 20 acres of shopping mall that fronts the south and southeast corner.
This project will return for a final decision.
Natural Gas Truck Stop
West of Hutchins | 5.7 Acres
Clean Logistics brought in their A-team to secure a rezoning to build a truck stop. Yes, that's it, that's the first line.
This truck stop is different though - it powers trucks that run on natural gas. Negative carbon compressed natural gas (“CNG”), to be exact.
This station will only service commercial fleets in contract with Clean Logistics.
Unlike diesel stations, they don't require massive subterranean development. They also don't leach, so you don't have to clean the dirt if you want to build a house there in the future.
If the future of alternative fuel is natural gas, this station could unlock new industrial sites in southern Dallas.
Oh, and it's one mile south of an Amazon warehouse.
Telephone Road Industrial
West of Hutchins | 13.5 Acres
Light industrial warehouses proposed around a family's forever home.
The residents of this house requested a decorative sound barrier to be built in the form of a wall. This project will return for a final decision.
Kingsrow Industrial
Northwest Dallas | 5.4 Acres
A general subdivision replat to create two lots for industrial development.
North End
Northwest Dallas | 11 Acres
2 Lots were subdivided for development just north of Downtown Dallas.
Rahman-Khanam Addition
Far East Dallas | 10 Acres
4 Lots created in far east Dallas.
We saw most SFRs this week south of downtown Dallas.
Elm Thickett
North Dallas | 521 Acres
There was a plan introduced that ignited a discussion about gentrification. It created new development standards for Elm Thickett in North Dallas.
Roof styles and height limitations were the main two points.
