100 active of 379 total legislative matters tracked.
Code Amendment DCA256-004
Dallas is considering allowing tattoo and body piercing businesses in form-based zoning districts. Currently, these services are listed as prohibited uses; the proposed change would permit them instead. This would expand where these personal services can operate throughout the city's designated zoning areas.
Tavern Specific Use Permit at N. Crowdus and Elm (Z-25-000234)
A Specific Use Permit is proposed to allow a bar, lounge, or tavern at the northwest corner of N. Crowdus Street and Elm Street. The site is located in the Deep Ellum/Near East Side District, and the City Plan Commission and City Council will review whether the use is appropriate for the area.
Street Frontage Relief at Park and Corinth (Z-26-000001)
An applicant seeks relief from standard street frontage requirements on property at the northwest corner of Park Avenue and Corinth Street, located in the Cedars Area Special Purpose District. This variance would allow the development to proceed with its site plan despite not meeting the typical setback standards. The City Plan Commission is reviewing the request.
Sark Mixed-Use Development at Madison and Ballard (Z-26-000012)
Sark seeks to rezone a property at the corner of Madison Avenue and Ballard Avenue from residential to Walkable Mixed Use Subdistrict C, which would allow mixed-use development combining residential and commercial uses. The rezoning would transform this Oak Cliff corner into a more mixed-use area within the Gateway Special Purpose District, potentially bringing together housing, retail, and services on a site currently zoned for residential transition.
Seminary and Monastery Planned Development at La Prada and Shiloh (Z-25-000235)
A proposed development at La Prada Drive and Shiloh Road would rezone the property to allow townhouses, a seminary, and a convent or monastery. The project would change the area from single-family and multifamily residential zones to a planned development district that mixes residential townhouses with religious institutional uses.
Zoning Case Under Advisement (Z-25-000229)
Jaime Senna is seeking approval for a planned development district to bring light industrial uses to property on the south side of Cleveland Road, currently zoned for agriculture. Converting this land to industrial use could change the character and land use of the area for nearby residents.
Zoning Case Under Advisement (Z-26-000050)
Slate Properties seeks to rezone the south corner of Empire Central Drive and Forest Park Road from an Industrial Research District to a Walkable Urban Mixed-Use District.

Zoning and Specific Use Permit for Industrial Use (Z-25-000198)
This application seeks to rezone property to the Industrial Manufacturing District and obtain a new Specific Use Permit for an industrial use. The property is currently zoned Community Retail and Industrial Manufacturing, with an existing Specific Use Permit for an electric substation. The proposed industrial use would replace the current permitted use, and the City Plan Commission is evaluating the request.
Zoning Case Under Advisement (Z-26-000003)
HSM Equity Partners is seeking to rezone a property from Agricultural District to Light Industrial District, which would allow manufacturing and industrial operations on the site. The rezoning would change what uses are permitted on land currently restricted to agricultural activity.
TH-1 Townhouses at Compton Street (Z-25-000200)
A property on the south line of Compton Street, currently zoned for Light Industrial use, is proposed to be rezoned to Townhouse District (TH-1) instead of the initially sought Single Family District. This change would allow residential townhouse development on land currently designated for industrial purposes.
