Public hearing on mixed-use development amendment near W. Spring Valley Rd. and S. Sherman St.
View this case on Richardson Zoning Watch (map, hearing notices, CPC status) →
What this is
Zoning File 23-13 asks the council to amend a Special Development Plan and Special Permit for a 3.7-acre lot at the southeast corner of W. Spring Valley Road and S. Sherman Street. The change would allow a 5-story mixed-use building with apartment units, live/work units, and co-working space, increasing the total number of units from what was previously approved.
Why it matters
Adding more residential units and height to this site could increase housing supply in a central part of Richardson but may also raise concerns about density, parking, and neighborhood character.
