Why is this Important?
The Dallas Zoning Reform effort is an initiative to modernize the Dallas Development Code. The code was last updated in 1965. Since then, the code has undergone numerous small changes and updates. The result of these changes has left the code in a state that is hard to navigate, unpredictable in its outcomes, and unruly to administer and enforce.
Zoning controls how our city develops by regulating land use, building placement and bulk/size, parking requirements, landscaping standards, sign regulations, and numerous other aspects of the built environment. These rules collectively determine our city can grow and evolve, directly shaping the physical character of our community and impacting everything from housing availability and transportation patterns to economic development and environmental sustainability.
