What this is
Owners 3400 Waterview LLC (Jim Leslie) and the University of Texas at Dallas (Dr. Calvin Jamison) are requesting to rezone approximately 36 acres on the south side of Waterview Parkway, generally east of Frankford Road and bounded to the south by the DART Silver Line, from TO-M Technical Office and PD Planned Development to PD Planned Development for a transit-oriented mixed-use development. This is a public hearing where residents may speak before the council acts.
Why it matters
Approval would allow a large mixed-use development adjacent to the DART Silver Line, which could bring new housing, retail, or offices to that corridor and affect nearby traffic and neighborhood character.
Council action
Motion to approve the request as presented
