Residents can help shape the city-wide ForwardDallas plan for public and private land up until City Council votes, which is likely in January
ForwardDallas will be the city’s first comprehensive land-use plan, which will be one factor in future zoning decisions, including how the city will accommodate more housing for a growing population, Gilles said. The Trinity River corridor, for example, has no clear plan for development that reflects how the community wants the land to be used.
Each placetype has multiple possible uses depending on the needs of the community, allowing development decisions to be holistic and “context-sensitive,” which considers what is already on the land and attempts to “soften” new development into the current makeup.If a property owner or neighborhood group wants to help reimagine any parcel of land in Dallas, Gilles said the ForwardDallas feedback process is how to do it.
