After a unanimous Dallas city council vote Wednesday, a new Sprouts will replace a Crown Buffet on Fort Worth Avenue at Hampton Road, south of I-30 in Oak Cliff.
The Dallas Plan Commission had denied the new store request, but the city council reversed that denial.“It took us two years to get here but at the end of the day it’s going to be a better project,” West said.
West said the Sprouts store could not be built close to the street because of the slope of the property. It needed to be roughly where the buffet restaurant is now. West said a survey of 1,400 neighbors within 3 miles of the project was conducted with overwhelming support for reaching a solution. “This corner has been a bit of a nuisance in the 15 years I’ve lived there. It’s not well maintained. It’s frequently littered. It is a magnet for vagrancy and panhandling,” Stevens Park Estates neighbor Brian Maynard said.“This development plan reflects long hours spent meeting with the community and surveying their will to have this particular grocer come to North Oak Cliff,” said Tim Herfel with the Fort Worth Avenue Development Group.
