A new planned development district is proposed for property near Walnut Hill Lane and Betty Jane Lane, which would allow smaller-lot residential uses on land currently zoned for larger-lot single-family homes.

Attorney

File protest petition against Walnut Lane rezoning before Council

Why now: CPC approved Z-25-000224 10-3 on May 21, 2026 with three named dissenters (Hampton, Kocks, Coffman), signaling organized opposition that could support a valid protest petition once filed.

What to do: Now that City Plan Commission approved Z-25-000224 10-3, property owners within 200 feet of the Walnut Lane site can file a written protest with the City Secretary — enough valid signatures forces a three-fourths supermajority at Council instead of a simple majority. Identify and contact affected owners now, before the Council hearing is publicly noticed and the filing window closes.

Act before: After City Council hearing notice is published

Request Kingston's conflict disclosure on Walnut Lane rezoning

Why now: Kingston's recusal before the May 21, 2026 10-3 vote is documented in the minutes, but the underlying conflict is not named in the record.

What to do: File a public records request for Commissioner Kingston's written conflict-of-interest disclosure tied to Z-25-000224 — Kingston left the room before the 10-3 vote, an unusual step the minutes don't explain. Moayedi's CECH Walnut Lane, LLC traces back to Centurion American, one of Dallas's most politically connected developers, so the nature of the conflict is worth establishing before this reaches Council.

Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)

Lobbyist

Brief council member before Walnut Lane rezoning hearing is set

Why now: CPC's 10-3 vote on May 21, 2026 named three dissenting commissioners (Hampton, Kocks, Coffman), a documented opposition bloc that could be used to lobby Council ahead of the hearing.

What to do: Identify which Council district covers the Walnut Lane site and brief that office now on Z-25-000224 — three CPC commissioners (Hampton, Kocks, Coffman) already voted against it, giving organized opponents a ready-made opposition narrative to reach the council member first. Land your briefing before the Council hearing date is publicly noticed.
