Forward Dallas, the city's comprehensive land use plan, may have fallen victim to the curse of bad timing. When a controversial but hypothetical zoning idea overlapped with the city's comprehensive Forward Dallas plan and the news cycle, it appears the issues were mixed up, said Interim Director of Planning and Urban Design Andrea Gil. To tell.
Jill appeared on an episode of the Dallas Dirt podcast last week with CandysDirt.com Dallas City Hall Editor April Towery to discuss Forward Dallas in detail. In this short clip, Towery asks Jill where and how this city document update message went awry.
The memo signed by the five people Jill mentions here asked them to discuss how Austin, another Texas city facing growth and a housing shortage, is considering changes to its zoning regulations. This is a memo from City Councilman Chad West.
