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: Land 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.
