North Dallas Neighborhood Alliance
General Meeting
Tuesday, June 29, 2010
North Central Police Station Community Room
(McCallum and Hillcrest)
7:00 PM
Summer is always a major time for crime and you have
asked for a program to help you reduce crime in your North
Dallas neighborhoods --- here it is!
Currently, every association has over 22 (yes,
22) programs available to it to fight
neighborhood crime and increase neighborhood security. Many
have not taken advantage of these – mainly because they are
not aware they exist or don’t know how to begin using them.
This meeting focused on turning that around by
introducing and showing attendees how to begin using them.
DPD Sgt. Mike Nonnenmacher presented the programs
available from the Dallas Police Department. Northwood Hills
HOA presented their research regarding video surveillance
cameras. We also presented information about security systems,
lighting, patrols, and other measures that can implemented to
help your neighborhood.

invite you to attend -
Neighborhood Perspective on Proposed
NEW FORM-BASED ZONING
Wed February 27, 2008
7:00 to 8:30 pm
Central Market meeting room upstairs

Speaker: Michael Jung, DHL representative on the

Development Code
Amendment Advisory
Committee
New "Form-Based" zoning categories for mixed-use, higher density development
are scheduled to go before the Plan Commission and Dallas City Council for
approval in March and April, 2008.
This working session will bring attendees up to speed on the proposed
changes to the Dallas Development Code and
how the changes may impact existing neighborhoods.
Roll up your sleeves and get
the info you need to talk to your neighbors, the Planning Commissioner and
City Councilmembers about the impact of the proposed Code revisions.
Learn about:
-
Residential Proximity Slope: - this is a
tool that has protected neighborhoods for decades by requiring that the
taller the building is, the farther away it must be
located from single family homes. The new Code provisions eliminate the requirement in certain
circumstances.
Click here for the Dallas City Code definition of "Residential
Proximity Slope".
-
Location of new denser developments: - anticipated to be
placed near DART rail stations, learn about the importance of
having limitations on where the new zoning can be placed, and the need for
a critical mass to make these new denser developments work.
-
What does "Form-Based" Code mean? - this
translates to fewer restrictions on what businesses can be built. Learn how this may impact your neighborhood.
-
Reductions in parking requirements for business and residential
zoning - are there enough safeguards for spill-over parking in existing
neighborhoods?
-
Buffer Zones - will there be buffer zones between new development types and existing
neighborhoods?
The second revision (2/5/08) of the draft ordinance with the new zoning
categories is available by
clicking here (7.2MB PDF) and is also posted on the forwardDallas!
web site at::
