The City of Denton is slated to consider a significant change to its Comprehensive Plan by redesignating land use for two large parcels near US 380. The proposed amendments, impacting about 57 acres of terrain in total, aim to shift a 34.5-acre section from a Rural Areas Future Land Use designation to Light Industrial, and a 22.5-acre section from Low Residential to Community Mixed Use. This move, if approved, would usher in a new potential wave of industrial and mixed-use development in a locality previously earmarked for rural and residential living.
Slated for the evening of Tuesday, October 14, at 6:30 pm, the City Council will host a public hearing at the City Hall's Council Chambers, 215 E McKinney St, Denton, TX. Alongside live participation, locals interested in the proposal can find additional details on how to engage with the process via the city's website. The meeting hopes to offer a platform for residents and stakeholders alike to air their concerns and support for the proposed changes. A starting point for further inquiries is City Planner Erin Stanley, reachable at [email protected] or by phone at (940) 349-8351.
Information concerning the amendments and the upcoming public hearing is accessible on the City of Denton's official website. Here, interested parties can review the staff’s analysis and associated exhibits slated for availability on October 9. The Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan functions as a master guiding document, and the proposed changes align with the city's vision for managed growth and diversification of local land uses.
