Review the Fair Park area plan draft before Council vote

Context: The plan was deferred at City Council on May 28, 2025 with no rescheduled hearing date, leaving adoption timing open and plan content potentially still subject to revision.

Recommended: If you are assembling land or have active entitlements in the South Dallas / Fair Park corridor, obtain the current draft area plan to understand what design standards, permitted uses, or density frameworks it would establish — the deferral creates a window to engage on plan content before adoption.
