Southeast Denton Area Plan

The goal of the Southeast Denton Area Plan is to establish a vision for the area, as well as set clear policy direction and supporting implementation strategies. In order to preserve the cultural character of the Southeast Denton neighborhoods and address the development pressures. The Southeast Denton study area is generally bounded by McKinney Street to the north, Bell Avenue and Dallas Drive to the west, Teasley Lane and Shady Oaks Drive to the south, and Woodrow Lane to the east. The Area Plan study area is approximately 600 acres.

An important part of the Area Plan is to build community trust and a partnership with the community. Currently, community trust is low based on previous public hearing outcomes. The Area Plan will identify those topics that are important to the residents and stakeholders for preserving the current cultural character and land uses, as well as identify areas where change can occur.

At a minimum, the following topics will be addressed in this Area Plan, as well as any additional key topics that are identified as part of the public engagement efforts: Land Use and Compatibility; Transportation; Housing; Infill and Redevelopment; Historic Preservation; Open Space; and Infrastructure and Utilities.

This project will take approximately 10 months - with a timeframe of February - November 2023.
