Wheatland-Danieldale Authorized Hearing
(Z-26-000119)

​The Wheatland–Danieldale Authorized Hearing area encompasses approximately 1536 acres along the southern boundary of the Dallas city limits. The area is primarily zoned for light industrial and regional retail uses, with some parcels zoned for multi-family and office developments. The Authorized Hearing process provides an opportunity to reexamine existing zoning and help guide future development in a way that al​igns with community values, goals, and the City’s long‑term vision.

​WHERE ARE WE NOW? ​

  • Kick-off meeting scheduled for Thursday, June 25th, 2026, at 6:00 P.M. Please see below for details on details. 

SCOPE & OBJECTIVE 

The City Plan Commission authorized a city-initiated zoning review for the Wheatland-Danieldale area on January 5, 2023. The purpose of this Authorized Hearing is to evaluate and consider appropriate zoning for the designated area. This may include, but is not limited to: 

  • ​Reviewing and establishing appropriate land uses and development standards. 
  • Applying other zoning regulations as necessary. 
  • Bringing existing nonconforming uses into zoning compliance. 
  • Protecting residential uses by ensuring compatibility with current nonresidential uses and anticipated future development. 
Due to the large pre​sence of light industrial uses, appropriate development standards and zoning regulations for the area must be cohesive and compatible with the goals of Forward Dallas 2.0 to support future residential and mixed‑use developments as well as industrial and commercial growth.

  • Addressing land use incompatibility and inconsistencies 
  • Developing recomm​endations for zoning changes
