The Dallas City Plan and Zoning Commission has voted in favor of an $800 million development proposed near Preston Road and Royal Lane, which has drawn opposition from several Northwest Dallas neighborhood groups.<\/p>\n
The project would include retail, restaurants, condominiums, apartments and a five-star hotel. Its tallest building would be a 19-story condominium tower reaching 240 feet.<\/p>\n
Nearby residents have organized through a coalition called D13 Together, arguing that the tower is too tall for an area where current zoning limits building height to 54 feet. Opponents said they support development at the site but want the height reduced.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA developer’s proposal to build a 19-story high-rise in North Dallas is drawing strong opposition from neighbors who say it would dramatically change the Preston-Royal area. Because there are no existing high-rises in that part of the city, the project must first win approval from Dallas city planners before it can move forward. NBC 5’s Maria Guerrero explains the proposal, the concerns from residents and what’s next in the approval process.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Developer Leland Burk said the development team responded to community concerns by lowering the project\u2019s maximum height by 85 feet.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appreciate the many supporters who shared their enthusiasm for this quality development, and we look forward to presenting our case to the Dallas Plan Commission on Thursday,\u201d Burk said.<\/p>\n
Since the project is advancing, it now requires a vote by the Dallas City Council. No council vote has been scheduled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dallas City Plan and Zoning Commission has voted in favor of an $800 million development proposed near…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399960,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103],"class_list":["post-399959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
