What has changed from what we defeated in November - the number of patio homes reduced by 9 to 41, of which 30 are still 3-story/36 feet. Despite several meetings with the President of the Wimberley Court Homeowners Association (WCHA) and Interim President of the Walnut Hill Homeowners Association (WHHA), the developer has continued to resist the very reasonable compromise of lowering the maximum height of all homes to 2-story/30 feet, which is the current maximum single family height limit for all the homes in our Walnut Hill and surrounding neighborhoods.
The City sent out Green notices for those within 500 ft. on June 5th.
The Council meeting date is now scheduled for August 12th.
If this rezoning is passed, it will become the template that developers will demand for any church property, large lot, or combination of lots in our neighborhood along Midway, Marsh, Royal, Walnut Hill, or any other major road in our surrounding neighborhoods
The developer wants to rezone this property that is currently zoned Residential R-16 (16,000 sf lots) to CRAM in 41 "patio homes", with 30 of them 3-story/36 feet tall on lots as small as 1,980 sf, one eighth the size of the typical Walnut Hill neighborhood lots. There is NO single-family zoning that allows 3-story/36 foot tall homes in our Walnut Hill neighborhood or in any surrounding neighborhoods.
There is NO single-family zoning with lots as small as 1,980 sf in all of North Dallas.
For comparison, where only one home is allowed now, the developer wants to build 8 homes!
We believe no single family lot should be less than 3,500 sq. ft. which is closer to R-5 zoning at 5,000 sq. ft.
[TH-3 zoning has a minimum lot size of 2,000 sq. ft. ]
The rezoning request does NOT honor the language found in the Forward Dallas Plan:
"Changes to areas within Community Residential neighborhoods must prioritize community engagement. The community engagement should be initiated early in the process that is bringing the change and should be given significant weight in the decision making that occurs with this process"
"Changes to areas within Community Residential neighborhoods should look to add housing in a way that is gentle, equitable, incremental, and sensitive to the existing context, while doing so in a manner that strengthens these neighborhoods and incorporates inclusive community engagement efforts..."
This rezoning request is neither "gentle", "incremental", nor does it honor "inclusive community engagement"
Only the northern 11 patio homes are limited to 2-story/30 feet which is the maximum height limit for all single family homes in our Walnut Hill neighborhood and all that surround us. The other 30 are 3-story/36 feet. Because this street is too narrow, there will be no street parking allowed. These homes are also just a few feet from the street, so there is no real front yard, and the driveway from the street is only a few feet long which leaves no room to park in front of the garage door.
All visitors or residents with oversized vehicles, more than 2 vehicles or garage storage must park in the 19 visitor spaces away from the homes.
