The City of Denton is set to hold a public hearing for an ordinance concerning the proposed removal and offset of environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs) on Spencer Road. According to the official city notice, the hearing will address a request by 97 Land Company to approve an Alternative Environmentally Sensitive Area Plan. This plan outlines the removal of 0.23 acres of ESAs, on about 53.89 acres, located north of Spencer Road and approximately 1,200 feet west of the intersection with Loop 288, per the City of Denton.
Interested citizens are invited to express their views at the meeting scheduled for September 16, 2025, at 6:30 pm, taking place in the City Council Chambers at City Hall. Aimee Bissett of 97 Land Company is listed as the agent on the project, and anyone seeking more details ahead of the meeting can directly reach out to her or consult the city's website for additional instructions on participating in the public meeting.
The Denton City Council is entrusted with the authority to approve any request that is equivalent to or more stringent than the proposal by 97 Land Company, provided it syncs with the ideals of the Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This procedural step ensures that any developmental efforts align with the city's long-term growth and conservation strategies.
