Dallas officials approve Elm Thicket-Northpark zoning changes that reduces new home sizes
The Dallas City Council approved zoning changes to a northern Dallas area Wednesday which supporters hope willThe changes include limiting maximum lot coverage to 40% for new single- and multi-story homes in the, a more than 500-acre area founded as a Freedman’s Town that borders and sits east of Dallas Love Field airport. The limit in most of the city is 45%, but most of the original homes in the neighborhood cover 30% or less.
He said his family was forced to move into the neighborhood more than 60 years ago when displaced from their original home in the area via eminent domain by the city because of the expansion of Love Field.Other residents called for the council’s vote on zoning changes to either be delayed or voted down, arguing the new zoning would infringe on property rights and wouldn’t stop gentrification or the displacement of historical residents.
“I didn’t kick anyone out of this neighborhood. I bought a house from somebody who sold it to me. That’s it,” Coffman told council members before the vote. “And now you’re going to tell me what I can do with the single biggest investment I’ve ever made in my life.” “While what is being proposed is not a save-all, fix-all solution, it’s a step in the right direction,” Moreno said. “It’s a nod to the history of Elm Thicket.”Bert Vandenberg, an assistant city attorney, told council members that it was a vote “just changing the development standards of the property.”
