Events — July 2026
6 events with findings this period
The Dallas Public Facility Corporation is scheduled to meet on 2026-07-28.
The Plan Commission's July 23, 2026 agenda is scheduled to address 39 substantive items, most carrying staff recommendations for approval, spanning zoning cases, planned development amendments, plat applications, thoroughfare plan changes, and historic preservation requests.
Resident: Residents near E. Lake Highlands Drive in District 9 should watch item #6, a proposed five-year Specific Use Permit for a private recreation center, club, or area on R-7.5(A) single-family zoned property, since it introduces a non-residential use adjacent to single-family homes.
Journalist: Four zoning cases have now been carried under advisement across multiple 2026 hearings without a final recommendation — Oak Lawn PD 193 Subdistrict 30 (#9), PD 17 at Alpha/Preston (#10), the Lemmon/Hedgerow LC subdistrict and mini-warehouse SUP (#11), and the Cleveland Road light-industrial PD (#12) — the only non-routine outcomes on an otherwise consent-heavy agenda, and a pattern worth asking staff why these specific four remain unresolved.
Lobbyist: Three Thoroughfare Plan amendments (#36, #37, #38) affecting Council Districts 3, 7, and 8 carry staff recommendations for approval and would reduce lane counts and right-of-way width on two segments while removing a third from the plan entirely — worth flagging to the relevant district council offices ahead of the Commission's recommendation moving to full Council.
Developer: Developers with entitlement requests should note that item #4, a PD 800 amendment near Cadiz Street and Riverfront Boulevard for Therme Dallas LLC adding non-residential subdistricts and a pedestrian skybridge, and item #14, a new PD 193 retail subdistrict with partial liquor-overlay removal in Oak Lawn, both carry staff recommendations for approval and illustrate the scope of mixed-use and overlay changes currently being favorably received.
Board of Adjustment Panel B is scheduled to consider five land-use applications on July 15, 2026, including two individual variance/special-exception cases requiring hearings and votes: a side-yard setback variance at 1510 Marfa Avenue with staff recommending approval, and a five-part zoning relief request at 1420 Canada Drive where staff recommends approval on four items but denial of the side-yard setback variance.
Board of Adjustment Panel A is scheduled to hear five special exception and variance cases on July 14, 2026: a reassessment of a parking special exception tied to a commercial redevelopment on Oak Lawn Avenue, and four residential fence, setback, and accessory-structure exception requests.
The Dallas Housing Finance Corporation board is scheduled to meet on 2026-07-14.
The Landmark Commission's July 6 agenda featured 14 substantive Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) requests across historic districts including Fair Park, Peak's Suburban Addition, State-Thomas, Munger Place, Junius Heights, Swiss Ave, Wheatley Place, and Winnetka Heights, plus a hearing to consider a new historic overlay for the Reverchon Park area around 3505 Maple Avenue.
Resident: The Landmark Commission's hearing to consider a new historic overlay for the Reverchon Park area around 3505 Maple Avenue — bounded by Maple Avenue, McKinnon Street, the Dallas North Tollway, Welborn Street, and the Katy Trail — was scheduled for individual consideration, with staff recommending approval subject to minor edits to the preservation criteria; if upheld, the overlay would extend historic-district design review to that area.
Developer: Staff recommended approval for four consent-item COAs (C1-C4) in Fair Park, Peak's Suburban Addition, and State-Thomas Historic Districts, conditioned on neutral, muted color palettes and materials matching each district's historic character — indicating the design parameters staff favors for accessory structures and material replacements on noncontributing structures.
