The City of Dallas has released Public Draft #1 of the Dallas Development Code as part of the Dallas Zoning Reform initiative. Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to review the draft and provide feedback to help shape the next version.
Dallas is updating its development code for the first time in more than 40 years to create clearer, more user-friendly regulations that reflect the city's changing needs. The proposed updates aim to preserve neighborhood character, expand housing options, protect residential areas from heavy industrial uses, strengthen the urban tree canopy, and improve safety and walkability.
Draft #1, an executive summary, FAQs, and opportunities to submit comments are available at www.DallasZoningReform.com. Beginning November 16, printed executive summaries will also be available at all Dallas public libraries, with full copies of the draft available at select locations.
