ForwardDallas 2.0: City Council Public Hearing, 9/25
City of Dallas sent this bulletin at 09/18/2024 06:00 PM CDT
FACTS & MYTHS![]() Questions about ForwardDallas?
What are the key goals of ForwardDallas?
What else has been done to address concerns about housing in neighborhoods?
Many residents are concerned about the prospect of multiplexes in single-family neighborhoods. What has been done to address those concerns?
Why is a Comprehensive Plan Important?The plan establishes a framework, grounded in equity, for how Dallas should grow, preserve and transition. To date, the city’s planning has been largely piecemeal and reactionary, without a citywide policy to guide growth and change. Dallas is projected to grow by several hundred thousand over the coming decades. It is critical that the City have an intentional, long-range plan to manage that growth while also establishing policies for areas and uses that should be preserved. Will ForwardDallas 2.0 Rezone My Property?NO. ForwardDallas is a land use guide and does not result in rezoning any part of the city. Any rezoning requires notification and a separate public process including public meetings at City Plan Commission and final decision with City Council. Does ForwardDallas 2.0 Recommend Eliminating Single-Family zoning?NO. ForwardDallas does not recommend eliminating single-family zoning. ForwardDallas does encourage more housing types throughout the City, and it points to starting with a variety of housing options at key intersections, local commercial areas, along corridors and within ½ mile of DART transit stations. Is there still time for me to provide input?Yes. A Public Hearing is scheduled for September 25. Individuals may sign-up to speak either in person or virtually. Learn more here.
