Current Planning Request (CPR) Record:   

Current Planning Request (CPR) Record is the new referral system to learn more about rezoning in the City of Dallas. CPR Records are initiated by staff.  For customers considering a rezoning? Contact staff by phone at 214-670-4209 or email at ZonApps@dallas.gov. You may also be referred to other city departments or divisions of Planning and Development, if rezoning is an option being considered. 

CPR Process:
 - Provide details of your request to staff, including specific site information and the reason rezoning may be needed. 
 - After submission, you will receive an email to set up an appointment for a Current Planning consultation.
 -  During this consultation, the rezoning process will be reviewed.
 -  If the customer chooses to proceed, the next stop is with our GIS Division to complete the legal description review process. After the legal description is completed, the customer can now use the CPR record number to create a rezoning request utilizing the online DallasNow system. The following record types are dependent upon completion of the CPR record prior to submittal.

• Miscellaneous Zoning (MZ) Record: The MZ record was previously split into the development plan and minor amendment plan review processes. While the two case types still exist and follow unique paths, they are now grouped into the MZ record due to the administrative tendency of these record types. 
• Zoning (Z) Record: The Z record is any combination of rezoning requests including general zone change, specific use permit, planned development district, and voluntary deed restrictions. 

The variety of record combinations means the system will require different documentation depending on the requirements of those application types requested.

Current Case Schedules

Shedules for Current Zoning Case and the Current Alcohol Variance .  Current Planning accepts 10 applications for each review cycle, however this number is based on case complexity and staffing.  Submitted applications will be reviewed and assigned to the appropriate review cycle depending on the number of applications received for each deadline.  If there is a surplus for a deadline, the application will  be assigned to the next review cycle.

• Alcohol Variance Application: This application is for Alcohol Variances from the minimum distance regulations related to alcohol sales. This process includes filling out the digital application and submitting required documents with the application copy via email for preliminary check to ZonApps@dallas.gov.
