The City of Denton is slated to potentially alter the landscape of its rural terrain as the City Council takes up a significant rezoning matter early next year. According to a public notice issued by the City of Denton, a public hearing is set to discuss the rezoning of roughly 225 acres at the southwest corner of the FM 2153 bend from Rural Residential (RR) to Residential 1 (R1). This move would pivot away from the current pastoral character of the area to pave the way for more traditional residential development.
The proposal, identified as Z25-0015a Estates at Craver Ranch, represents an amendment to the City's Official Zoning Map and promises to introduce new penalties for zoning violations alongside its effective date. As legal representative and point of contact for the project, Alexa Knight from Daake Law can be reached for queries at (469) 912-6156. The council may also opt to entertain an equivalent or more restrictive request, provided that it aligns closely with the ideals of the Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
City Hall will play host to this community-engaged discussion on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, precisely at 6:30 pm within the City Council Chambers located at 215 E McKinney St, Denton, TX 76201. For residents and other stakeholders interested in partaking in the hearing process, participation details can be found by visiting www.cityofdenton.com/publicmeetings. This announcement comes with the intent to foster transparency and ensure community involvement in developmental decisions that will shape Denton's future.
Additional facts and the agenda for the hearing, including an analysis by the staff and accompanying exhibits, will be made available online starting Thursday, January 8, 2026. To obtain these materials or inquire further, interested parties are encouraged to contact Mia Hines at (940) 349-8583 or via email at [email protected].
