As Dallas city planners look for ways to add more housing, many homeowners have asked city leaders to protect the fabric of single-family neighborhoods.The Dallas City Plan Commission agreed on a compromise. City leaders had originally proposed allowing multiplexes to be built in neighborhoods zoned for one lot and one home, which would bring an end to single-family zoning.The city planning commission disagreed with that proposal.
"Many of you have pointed out Forward Dallas cannot create affordable housing, directly. That is correct," he said.Creating below-market-rate housing requires financial incentives from the city.Under the proposal approved by the commission Monday, property owners could still build multiplexes in single-family neighborhoods but as a secondary use. The plan requires approval by the Dallas City Council. Commissioner Melissa Kingston said it was a good compromise.
