The City of Denton's Planning and Zoning Commission has slated a public hearing to mull over the possibility of designating a Denton property as a historic landmark. Local homeowner Mary Sepmoree has put forward the request for the designation of her property at 1900 Westridge Street, as detailed by the City of Denton.
The property, which sits comfortably on the north side of Westridge Street, could soon join the list of historic landmarks if things go according to Sepmoree's plan. The hearing, a potentially significant moment for both the homeowner and the city's historical tapestry, is scheduled for Wednesday, August 28, at the City Council Chambers located within the City Hall at 215 E McKinney St. Interested parties may attend in person and are encouraged to visit the city's website for details on how to participate.
During the hearing, City Planning and Zoning will deliberate on whether to recommend the historic landmark status to the Denton City Council. Their role is to vet whether Sepmoree's request aligns with the Denton Development Code, specifically Section 2.9.4, and the broader Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The commission's recommendation, however, is not the final verdict; it is the City Council that will make the conclusive decision.
