An application for a new Planned Development Subdistrict on property zoned R-7.5(A) Residential Subdistrict within Planned Development District 631, the West Davis Special Purpose District, on the south line of West Davis Street, west of Cockrell Hill Road. Staff Recommendation: Approval, subject to conditions. Representative: Karl Crawley / Masterplan Consultants U/A From: January 15, 2026. Planner: Mona Hashemi Council District: 1 Z-25-000157

The City Plan Commission is considering an application to create a new Light Mixed Use (LMU) Subdistrict on a 21.99-acre property zoned PD 631, R-7.5(A) Residential Subdistrict, located on the south line of West Davis Street, west of Cockrell Hill Road. The property is currently undeveloped.

The request aims to allow a mix of residential and nonresidential uses, aligning with the forwardDallas 2.0 Comprehensive Plan's designation of the site within the Regional Open Space placetype, which prioritizes environmental sensitivity while allowing for context-sensitive development. The proposed LMU subdistrict represents a reduction in development intensity compared to an initial request for a Medium Mixed Use subdistrict.

The existing zoning is PD 631, R-7.5(A) Single Family Tract 2. The proposed LMU subdistrict would permit a broader range of uses, including various commercial, institutional, and residential types, with adjusted development standards such as reduced front setbacks (15 feet), increased side/rear setbacks for multifamily structures (10’/15’), a maximum density of 20 units/acre, a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.5 (or 1.0 for mixed-use projects), a maximum height of 30 feet (or 45 feet for mixed-use projects), and a maximum lot coverage of 60%.

Staff recommends Approval, subject to conditions. The case was previously held under advisement by the commission on January 15 and February 5, 2026, with a final decision pending on March 26, 2026.
