Northeast Denton Area Plan

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

The goal of the Northeast Denton Area Plan is to establish a vision for the area, as well as set clear policy direction and supporting implementation strategies for how Northeast Denton should develop over time. The Northeast Denton Area Plan proposed study area is generally bounded by FM 428 to the north and west, Loop 288 and University Drive to the south, and the Greenbelt and Floodplain area associated with the Elm Fork Trinity River and Lake Lewisville to the east.

The main reason for the Area Plan is to respond to the development pressure that is being experienced in Denton. Recently, there have been several large development proposals and zoning change requests in this area that were denied by City Council. Major concerns raised by the community during the public hearings include the incompatible land use and density proposed, increased traffic as a result of development, lack of open space and public amenities, and the lack of overall environmental protection.

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 Density; Mobility; Land Preservation/Open Space; Recreational Amenities; and Historic Preservation.

This project will take approximately 10 months with a completion timeframe from January - October 2023.

    The City of Denton is preparing a Northeast Denton Area Plan to:

    • establish a long-term vision and plan for the area to shape its future character
    • communicate desired types of development and preferred locations
    • identify opportunities for land preservation
    • direct public investments.

    This plan will set clear policy direction and include supporting implementation action items. As part of creating this plan, the City is holding a Northeast Denton Area Plan Community Visioning Open House to obtain input and feedback from residents and business owners. Here are the topics we will talk about and want your feedback on:

    • Land Use and Dens
    • Mobility
    • Land Preservation/Open Space
    • Recreational Amenities
    • Historic Preservation
    • Additional topics identified as part of public engagement efforts

    Each open house will cover the same information. Staff will be available to discuss the plan and answer questions from those in attendance.
