Request W. Davis planned development ordinance number today
Why now: The April 22, 2026 City Council agenda included 19 zoning cases and 16 were approved; if Z-25-000156 was among them and the ordinance was published April 22–23, the challenge period expires this week.
What to do: Contact Dallas Development Services today to obtain the ordinance number and publication date for this planned development — if published within days of the April 22 City Council meeting, a 30-day statutory challenge window closes as early as May 22, which is three days from now.
Act before: After statutory challenge period expires (approximately May 22–25, 2026)
Investigate why W. Davis rezoning required two identical CPC votes
Why now: Both CPC hearings on January 15 and March 26, 2026 produced identical 13-0 'Carried' results, yet the matter status remains active 27 days after the April 22 Council appearance — an unexplained two-hearing CPC pattern followed by an unresolved Council outcome.
What to do: Pull the January 15 and March 26 City Plan Commission agenda packets to find the documented reason a 13-0 recommendation in January did not advance directly to Council — then cross-reference the April 22 Council roll call to determine whether this matter is one of the 3 of 19 zoning cases that did not get approved that day.
Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)
Call Council District 1 to confirm W. Davis rezoning deferral date
Why now: Six items were pulled from the consent agenda at the April 22, 2026 meeting, and the matter status remains active with no confirmed next step 27 days later, indicating deferral rather than adoption.
What to do: Contact the City Council office for District 1 (which covers W. Davis and Cockrell Hill) to confirm whether this item was deferred at the April 22 meeting and when it is rescheduled — if deferred, that next Council date is the only remaining window to negotiate conditions before the ordinance becomes final.
Act before: After ordinance effective date
Request W. Davis planned development use list before ordinance is final
Why now: The case cleared City Plan Commission twice with 13-0 votes on January 15 and March 26, 2026, and appeared at City Council on April 22, placing it at or near final adoption.
What to do: Call Dallas Development Services to obtain the proposed use list for this planned development — once the ordinance takes effect, those authorized uses are the permanent legal standard for the site and can only be narrowed through a new rezoning application requiring new fees and a multi-month public process.
Act before: After ordinance effective date
