A public hearing to receive comments regarding an application for and an ordinance granting MU-1 Mixed Use District on property zoned MF-1(A) Multifamily District, on the north line of Wynnewood Drive, between South Zang Boulevard and South Llewellyn Avenue Recommendation of Staff: Approval Recommendation of CPC: Approval Z-25-000170 *In alignment with ForwardDallas.

The City Council is considering a zoning change request (Z-25-000170) to rezone approximately 1.11 acres located on the north line of Wynnewood Drive, between South Zang Boulevard and South Llewellyn Avenue, from an MF-1(A) Multifamily District to an MU-1 Mixed Use District. The property is currently developed with vacant apartments.

The applicant intends to redevelop the site for a restaurant with drive-in or drive-through service. This change is generally consistent with the ForwardDallas 2.0 comprehensive plan and the Wynnewood Urban Design Guide, which identifies the site for market-rate development and mixed-use retail/commercial.

The proposed MU-1 zoning district allows for a broader range of commercial uses compared to the existing MF-1(A) district, including a restaurant with drive-in or drive-through service, which is permitted subject to Development Impact Review under MU-1. The development standards also change, allowing for greater lot coverage (80% vs. 25% for nonresidential) and increased building height (up to 120 feet with retail vs. 36 feet).
