The City Planning Commission (CPC) has been working for quite a while on an initiative called ForwardDallas, which is an effort to re-envision the way that public & private land is used within the city. Their goal is to create a set of guidelines which CPC and the Dallas City Council will use to make decisions about future redevelopment and zoning change requests.

The CPC recently released the June 2024 version of the Draft Plan and they will be holding a public meeting on 17 June 2024, 9am-5pm to receive comments from the public. Residents may attend in person or online.

The city’s ForwardDallas website has links to the Draft Plan, new “placetype” map, detailed information on how to provide feedback, how to participate in the upcoming meeting, and more. Check it out!
