Zoning Ordinance Update Adopted by the Duncanville City Council on March 2, 2021.
|
With the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in September 2017, the City of Duncanville provided a framework for future development decisions and set the direction for change. A primary action for implementing the Comprehensive Plan is a zoning ordinance revision. The City of Duncanville began the process to update the Zoning Ordinance, with the help from planning consultants at Freese and Nichols. On March 2, 2021, City Council members adopted the major update of the Zoning Ordinance.
The three primary goals of the zoning ordinance update are:
- To update and correct outdated regulations,
- Address redevelopment, and
- Align the ordinance with the vision established in the Comprehensive Plan.
A key achievement of updating the Zoning Ordinance is removing regulatory barriers to redevelopment.
