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 for how Southeast Denton should develop over time. The Southeast Denton Area Plan proposed 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, encompassing approximately 600 acres of land.
The main reason for the Area Plan is to build community trust and a partnership with the community, identify those areas that are important to the residents and stakeholders for preserving the current cultural character and land uses, as well as those areas where change can occur, and ultimately create implementation strategies that will respond to the development pressure being experienced in the study area.
At a minimum, the following topics will be addressed in this Area Plan, as well as any additional key topics that identified as part of the public engagement efforts: lund Use and Compatibility; Multi-modal Transportation; Housing; Infill and Redevelopment; Historic Preservation; Open Space and Recreational Amenities; and Infrastructure.
The project will take approximately 12 months with a completion timeframe from March 2023 - March 2024.
Southeast Denton Area Plan - Listening Sessions
Join the Southeast Denton Area Plan project team at one of the upcoming Southeast Denton Area Plan Community Listening Sessions!
We want to plan a bright future for the Southeast Denton community – and we want to do it with you.
The Southeast Denton Area Plan project team invites you to come make your voice heard at one of the upcoming community listening sessions organized to help us identify aspects of the Southeast Denton Area Plan study area that are important to you.
These community listening sessions are the first step in our year-long effort to focus on understanding the concerns, needs, and suggestions of the Southeast Denton community, incorporating those needs and suggestions into a plan, and then focusing on ways to make the plan become reality. The plan will help identify what is most important to the community, determine needs for public improvements, guide future zoning decisions, and more.
The area plan process will include listening to the community, establishing a vision for the area, identifying areas of importance to residents and stakeholders, determining areas where change can occur, and directing public investments. The area plan will include implementation actions that respond to community input and development pressure in the area. Some examples of implementation actions include:
- Improved streets and sidewalks that provide safety for people walking and biking, as well as people in vehicles
- Improved open spaces, parks, trails, and other recreational amenities
- Improved drainage channels and flood prevention
- Guidance for City staff regarding future zoning decisions
To encourage open input and communication, the City has hired a professional planning consultant to conduct the community listening sessions and summarize the feedback received at these sessions into a report. No personally identifiable information will be shared with the City.
Please join us at one of these community listening sessions.
