The Denton City Council is set to hold a public hearing regarding a significant change in zoning district classification for a parcel of land on West University Drive. The proposed transition from Rural Residential (RR) and Residential 2 (R2) to Mixed-Use Regional (MR) would affect roughly 16.524 acres north of West University Drive, according to the City of Denton's official announcement. The adjustment would accompany an amendment to Denton’s Official Zoning Map and establish penalties for violations, capping at $2,000.00.
The City Council may choose to quickly approve an ordinance that's either equivalent to or more restrictive than the requested change, as long as it aligns with Denton's 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Interested parties and residents can attend the public hearing to express their views or learn more about the proposal. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, January 13, at 6:30 pm in the City Council Chambers located at City Hall, 215 E McKinney St, Denton, TX.
For those wishing to participate who cannot attend in person, details regarding access and participation can be found on the city’s website dedicated to public meetings. Those looking for additional information on the upcoming zoning change, including staff analysis and related exhibits, should mark their calendars for Thursday, January 8, 2026, when the materials will be made available online.
