Fort Worth committed $371.5M at its June 9 session — dominated by transportation and water infrastructure — and rewrote citywide zoning to allow multifamily housing by right in all commercial districts, while a no-bid arena privatization and five simultaneous board appointments to a single individual raised governance concerns.
Dallas City Council formally closed the May 2 election cycle at its May 12 meeting, certifying the 2026 GO Bond program, nine charter amendments, and the District 10 council race, while a May 5 worksession previewed upcoming housing, infrastructure, and long-range planning work.
Matters to Watch

Showing all 3 actions. Filter by: , , .
Get the amended site plan for the auto parts rezoning
Applies if: You represent a party with an interest in the site or adjacent property
Context: The amendment adds auto parts supply, retail to PD823A, which currently has an approved site plan, and the item was continued three times, including by consensus to October 13, 2026, without a recorded vote.
Recommended: Pull the current PD823A site plan and the proposed amendment on file for 5332 Sycamore School Road, and ask whether the use change from the current Neighborhood Commercial allowances (which exclude alcohol sales) altered any conditions between continuances. Clients could otherwise be reviewing a version that differs from what Council acts on.
Plan around October 13 auto parts store rezoning date
Applies if: You are the applicant, a lender, or a tenant tied to the 5332 Sycamore School Road site
Context: Council continued the item on April 28 (9-0) and June 9 (11-0), then by consensus to October 13, 2026 with no recorded vote, even though the Zoning Commission recommended approval of adding auto parts supply, retail to PD823A.
Recommended: Treat the applicant's timeline as pushed to at least October 13, 2026, and confirm with the applicant team whether the included site plan changed during the delays. Without that check, lease, purchase, or construction commitments for the 0.87-acre site could be built on a schedule that keeps slipping.
Ask why auto parts store rezoning keeps being delayed
Context: Hall moved both continuances (seconded by Crain, 9-0 on April 28 and 11-0 on June 9), and the third delay to October 13, 2026 was done by consensus with no recorded vote.
Recommended: Ask Council Member Hall's office and the applicant why this item has been pushed three times despite a Zoning Commission recommendation for approval. The record gives no reason, so the cause could be an unresolved neighborhood objection, a site plan change, or a negotiation.
Industrial Zoning at Anglin Drive (ZC-25-184)
Showing all 2 actions. Filter by: , .
Ask why Anglin Drive industrial rezoning keeps getting delayed
Context: ZC-25-184 (42.06 acres, Agricultural to Light Industrial) appeared 4 times, was continued Jan 13, Feb 10, Mar 10 and Jun 9, 2026, and the last delay to December 8, 2026 was made at the applicant's request despite the Zoning Commission's recommendation of approval.
Recommended: Ask the applicant's representatives and the Council District 8 office why this rezoning has been continued repeatedly, and request the correspondence behind the latest applicant-requested delay. Without this, a nearly year-long delay on a Zoning Commission-recommended rezoning stays unexplained.
Check what industrial uses the Anglin Drive rezoning would allow
Context: ZC-25-184 would change the 7200-7500 blocks (odds) of Anglin Drive from Agricultural to Light Industrial, and the item was continued to December 8, 2026 at the applicant's request.
Recommended: Ask the city planning staff what uses Light Industrial permits on the 42-acre Agricultural tract, and whether any conditions limit truck traffic or hours. The delay gives you until the December 8 Council date to raise concerns with your district's Council office before any decision.
PD Amendment ZC-25-205
Showing all 3 actions. Filter by: , , .
Confirm data center rezoning needs a full site plan
Context: The Zoning Commission recommended approval as amended with a site plan required, yet the applicant requests a site plan waiver, and the item is pushed to December 8, 2026.
Recommended: If you compete for or neighbor this site, plan around the Zoning Commission's site-plan-required version rather than the waiver the applicant seeks. Confirm with planning staff which version will go to Council, since the use list also includes grocery, retail, and health care alongside the data center.
Ask why data center rezoning keeps getting postponed
Context: Council continued ZC-25-205 on 2026-02-10 (11-0), 2026-03-10, and 2026-06-09 to December 8, 2026, the last at the applicant's request, while the Zoning Commission recommended approval only as amended with a site plan required.
Recommended: Ask the applicant and Council District 8 why this rezoning has been delayed three times, most recently by the applicant's request, and what changed. Also ask whether the site plan waiver conflicts with the Zoning Commission's recommendation to require a site plan.
Check data center height and setback near Anglin Circle homes
Applies if: You live or own property adjacent to the Anglin Circle site
Context: The request rezones 38.38 acres from Two-Family Residential and Agricultural to light industrial planned development with a 70-foot data center height, and a site plan waiver is requested even though the Zoning Commission recommended a site plan be required.
Recommended: Look at the 4500 and 8212 Anglin Circle site relative to your home: the request would allow a data center up to 70 feet tall, with a 75-foot buffer next to residential districts. Ask the city what the 300-foot minimum building setback from 8100 Anglin Drive means for the closest building location, since no site plan is guaranteed.
