SUBJECT: Proposed Council - Initiated Zoning Changes for the
Overton Woods Neighborhood
The November 6 City Council agenda contains an M &C to initiate the zoning process for the
Overton Woods Neighborhood, west of Hulen Drive and south of the Clear Fork of the Trinity River.
The purpose of the proposed zoning changes is to rezone single family residential property into
zoning classifications that reflect the prevailing lot sizes. For your reference, the attached
PowerPoint presentation shows the future land use from the 2007 Comprehensive Plan, the current
zoning and the proposed zoning. Council Member Silcox would like to initiate rezoning of these
areas in response to neighborhood concerns.
The Overton Woods Neighborhood Association held an informational meeting on October 21, 2007,
which was attended by Council Member Silcox, approximately 100 residents and staff. At this
meeting, the residents expressed support for the proposed zoning changes.
The public hearings for the rezoning of these properties would be held on December 12 at the Zoning
Commission meeting and at the City Council meeting of January 8.
If you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdof� Deputy Planning and Development
Director, at 817- 392 -8018.
