More Parking Requirements Being Considered

The Sustainable Development and Construction Department has been directed by the City Council Quality of Life and Environment Committee to look into possible amendments to the Dallas Development Code for:

          1)       Parking requirements for outdoor entertainment areas; and

          2)       Development of a late hours overlay to regulate personal service & retail uses that operate late at night.

We are just beginning the process and would like to invite you, as homeowners and representatives of many homeowner associations around the City, to a meeting to get your thoughts and input regarding these topics.

Please join us on Tuesday, November 29, 2016, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library Auditorium at, 1515 Young Street, Dallas, TX 75201. Parking is available in the library parking garage for a fee (entry off of Wood Street) or at the metered parking on Young Street.

Below are links to the briefings to the City Council Quality of Life and Environment Committee on these two topics.
