The developer wants to rezone this property that is currently zoned Residential R-16 (16,000 sf lots) to CRAM in 50 "patio homes", with 39 of them 3-story/36 feet tall on lots as small as 1,650 sf (smaller than a tennis court!)
There is NO single-family zoning that allows 3-story homes in our Walnut Hill neighborhood, or in any surrounding neighborhoods. And there is NO single-family zoning with lots as small as 1,650 sf in all of North Dallas. In other words, where only one home is allowed now, the developer wants to build 10 homes!
The rezoning request does NOT honor the language found in the Forward Dallas Plan:
"Changes to areas within Community Residential neighborhoods must prioritize community engagement. The community engagement should be initiated early in the process that is bringing the change and should be given significant weight in the decision making that occurs with this process"
"Changes to areas within Community Residential neighborhoods should look to add housing in a way that is gentle, equitable, incremental, and sensitive to the existing context, while doing so in a manner that strengthens these neighborhoods and incorporates inclusive community engagement efforts..."
This rezoning request is neither "gentle", "incremental", nor does it honor "inclusive community engagement"
If this rezoning is passed, it will become the template that developers will demand for any church property, large lot, or combination of lots in our neighborhood along Midway, Marsh, Royal, Walnut Hill, and Merrell and in all our surrounding neighborhoods
