The Evers Property, located within the boundaries of N. Elm Street, W. Windsor Drive, and N. Locust Street, was once part of a much larger pecan farm. On October 15, 2024, Denton City Council approved an ordinance (PD24-0002a) to allow for a zoning change in support the developers' plans to build a 450-unit multi-family development. Developers’ plans include an arrangement of four (4) buildings, each four (4) stories in height located on the eastern half of the property. The developers – JPI, based out of Coppell, Texas – have offered 10.2 acres of the property to the City of Denton for management as parkland. This amount of dedicated park land exceeds that required by the City’s park dedication ordinance for this development.

City staff are working with the development team to ensure that sidewalk widths within the property align with usage expectations and with the City's existing trail network. Currently, City staff and JPI are welcoming community input regarding the 10.2 acres of parkland included within this project.

    Thank you for the email and feedback.  This project sought to accomplish both of the competing goals of providing housing and the preservation of land that will eventually be a future City park. The approved Planned Development includes a multifamily development, and the developer will also be dedicating a significant amount of the land area (10.2 acres, well above what was required) to the City for use as a future park. The portion of the property being dedicated to the City includes a large number of trees and open space.

  • Share Is the staff going to recommend this Evers farm project to the City Council? I believe this project would be cherished by taxpayers in Denton. It would also be an attraction for people living outside of Denton. Once people visit the farm, they would be likely to shop and eat in Denton. Most kids growing up today have no idea what a farm looks like. on Facebook Share Is the staff going to recommend this Evers farm project to the City Council?
