Public hearing: rezone 10 acres near Waterview Pkwy and PGBT for 242-unit apartment building
View this case on Richardson Zoning Watch (map, hearing notices, CPC status) →
What this is
A developer is asking to rezone about 10 acres located between Waterview Parkway and the President George Bush Turnpike, east of Frankford Road, from Technical Office zoning to a Planned Development for apartments. The project would be a 5-story building with 242 units designed to house approximately 800 residents.
Why it matters
Approving this rezoning would replace office-zoned land with a large apartment complex, adding roughly 800 new residents near the PGBT corridor and potentially affecting traffic, schools, and nearby property values.
