Applicant representatives described the request as a necessary part of Love Field’s rental‑car consolidation strategy. The commission approved staff’s recommendation with multiple, applicant‑supported changes: an urban‑form setback along Maple, an 80‑foot maximum height and an 8‑story cap, shuttle and bus access routed from Eagan Avenue, and requirements that the street‑facing ground level of any multilevel parking structure contain active uses or articulated facades. Additional conditions require screening and treatments for facades facing Denton Drive and limit exterior parking‑structure lighting to prevent spillover on adjacent properties.

Commissioners and staff emphasized the importance of a development plan that clearly shows loading, short‑term customer drop‑off and shuttle queuing areas outside the public right‑of‑way. The applicant said the city’s traffic engineering team and the aviation department will continue to coordinate final circulation design to avoid queuing on surrounding arterials.

The commission’s approval is a recommendation that proceeds to City Council for ordinance adoption. The PD amendments include statements that will guide the Department of Aviation and the developer during design and permitting, and they seek to balance aviation‑related operational needs with neighborhood design standards and pedestrian activation on Maple Avenue.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Dallas - City Planning Commission - Feb 06, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved an amendment for a rental‑car facility site near Love Field, adding conditions that limit height, direct shuttle access and require active ground‑floor edges and additional screening for multilevel parking facades.","taxTitle","Dallas, Dallas County, Texas","taxId",2781,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6696065,"Commission approves Crescent Point Tower in Uptown with new sustainability scorecard",356,9981000,10337000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2245577-0ab11a7c1ae8d4acaa6da7ab158a04e2&start=9981&end=10337","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2245577-0ab11a7c1ae8d4acaa6da7ab158a04e2/thumbnail_9981000.jpg","/articles/6696065/Dallas/Dallas-County/Texas/Commission-approves-Crescent-Point-Tower-in-Uptown-with-new-sustainability-scorecard","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6696065-4f3867177c5fe1229aabbb76d5b7b265/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437236&Signature=ohsRGkzI-qtRqLeMeGFZ6~nsY3mbrWBXr1jCvAn~96rNkOktJO6a2Bwr4Ht42GwWhjLXI90ndv1Q-4ZEsQS-lBHIL-J97n7nSS~a0bFvAncxhDgNvwWDdrdm7E4QEXVIJDKArDdp~g0K0ZgsbhhJ4Aw0wwTy-3sitljFF79Uww2F7o0x2RP4aAkLq~L6-MPlPQ1XFD5FloWm8LasQpdWezDL2EV9lT5uhYsr93UECB3rw5M2KhLO~t2dRV5snlmUvr71xjl2mw-2ThB1-2GPJhW7GhK38f8BXN~Dqj-YkUWIzfbpisx123m6XpgVvfHaO3fnSsvHAvsQhccuIETZHA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dallas City Planning Commission unanimously approved a planned‑development subdistrict (PD193) that allows construction of Crescent Point Tower on the northern tip of the Crescent campus in Uptown.

Crescent Real Estate representatives presented the project as a 200‑unit residential building that would complete the Crescent campus and provide ground‑floor retail and improved pedestrian connections. A key feature of the submittal was a sustainability scorecard the applicant proposed to make part of the PD conditions. The scorecard bundles design and sustainability measures — including a requirement to reuse existing below‑grade parking, bike storage, micro‑mobility parking, photovoltaic roof area, cool‑roof treatments and on‑site open space and habitat features — into a points‑based system to guide permit readiness.

Staff recommended approval subject to the conceptual plan, development plan, subarea landscape plans and recommended conditions; commissioners approved the item as briefed. Commissioner Kingston and others highlighted the carbon savings staff estimated from reusing existing parking rather than building new below‑grade spaces: staff and the applicant said avoiding new excavation and a matching number of new spaces reduces embodied construction emissions and shortens the schedule.

The PD also includes design standards for ground‑floor transparency and street‑level activation, minimum bike parking and modest loading standards for the new development. The application received unanimous support from the Oak Lawn Committee prior to the hearing.

The commission’s approval forwards a recommendation to City Council. If the council adopts the PD ordinance, the applicant will proceed to permitting and detailed design. Staff noted some items in the PD are structured as a test case for the city’s broader climate goals and suggested the scorecard could be adapted for future projects.","The commission approved a planned development subdistrict (PD193) to allow the Crescent Point Tower in Uptown, incorporating a sustainability scorecard and reuse of existing underground parking to reduce carbon and speed construction.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6696070,"Dallas commission backs Pepper Square redevelopment after months of neighborhood debate",1538,10515000,12053000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2245577-0ab11a7c1ae8d4acaa6da7ab158a04e2&start=10515&end=12053","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2245577-0ab11a7c1ae8d4acaa6da7ab158a04e2/thumbnail_10515000.jpg","/articles/6696070/Dallas/Dallas-County/Texas/Dallas-commission-backs-Pepper-Square-redevelopment-after-months-of-neighborhood-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6696070-94bf384381625af7390332b187aa6366/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437236&Signature=D84UtpiB1dOAeTBKe2KHQddqB7l9NwSGntXUr9FTgyHMQ4w0fYIOktUPndDreUgoa4x3-073mENi5dMrvhR8agtSn9tmfltIcqjRmafXbYwrGYmw~0~IkCVr7joiPlhQvpXE4SrwB6n4-bRIYMAquYdzDN21mn5Ny9sdawTrfUh~cF-jrhqfTc2yrhhy3cxQ2SHwdBPz5btggMU6jskrRHVa~st90Np8soNnomYODQXC2ka6l5TpTHhQJdDflXYX6o86WSGCGS0PzPQZ9VtIqnbcoY~z8lzPvnSbGifWpqsHNC7ihZeTSGG-Ab5dwS~ySfWJH4Bf6UNQcwZjY5qjwA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dallas City Planning Commission voted Thursday to approve a planned-development rezoning for the Pepper Square property at Preston Road and Belt Line Road, advancing the developer’s mixed‑use redevelopment after more than two years of neighborhood negotiations and public meetings.

The commission’s action follows repeated public comment from neighbors who said they support redevelopment but want lower building heights and fewer residential units than the developer proposed. Opponents urged the commission to continue the case so residents and the applicant could meet and reach a compromise; the applicant and its consultants said they had engaged neighbors and revised plans repeatedly.

Staff recommended approval subject to a conceptual plan, a development plan and a set of conditions. Vice Chair Rubin moved to find that the applicant had complied with the administrative posting requirements after the case was remanded and then moved to close the public hearing and approve the staff recommendation. The motion passed on a roll call with all commissioners voting in favor.

Supporters from the surrounding neighborhood said the site needs revitalization and praised negotiators who had worked to narrow differences. Opponents said they had offered compromises over many months and still sought additional meetings to resolve outstanding disagreements about height and unit count. Several residents urged a narrower, lower‑rise project; other neighborhood representatives and the Oak Lawn Committee noted earlier outreach and a willingness to accept some residential development.

Commissioners emphasized that approval does not end the process; the project will still go to City Council, and developers and residents were urged to continue negotiations about details such as building massing, open space, and parking. The commission’s action forwards a zoning recommendation with staff’s conditions and the applicant’s agreed edits for council consideration.

The commission’s approval is a planning‑level decision to recommend rezoning. Final land‑use entitlements and development specifics will be shaped in later stages and by the council’s review of the ordinance and development plan.","The Dallas City Planning Commission voted to approve a planned development rezoning for the Pepper Square site at Preston and Belt Line after months of negotiations with neighborhood groups.

Applicant Christopher Stevens told commissioners he operates a landscape and tree service and wants to store trailers and equipment on the lot; he said the intent is limited to company trailers and small‑scale equipment, not heavy construction machinery. Stevens said he owns an adjacent parcel already zoned CS and that he had discussed on‑site buffering with the neighborhood representative, including a requested landscape buffer and a masonry wall.

Staff noted that the contractor’s maintenance yard the applicant described is permitted by right in CS and that other districts would not allow the use by right. Commissioners asked the applicant to return with volunteered deed restrictions that would prohibit intensive CS uses (for example heavy industrial equipment, concrete batching or large vehicle storage), or the option to convert to a PD that codifies the intended limited use. Several commissioners also asked the applicant to document outreach to residents immediately east and south of the site.

Commissioner Franklin said he would prefer to give the applicant time to create deed restrictions and return at an earlier meeting; other commissioners suggested March 6 as the next hearing date. The commission’s motion kept the public hearing open and held the matter to give the applicant time to propose deed restrictions or other limiting measures.

The case will return to the commission with either voluntary deed restrictions limiting future CS uses or a planned‑development alternative that codifies the limited contractor yard use and protections for adjacent neighborhoods.","A property owner seeking CS zoning to store landscaping equipment agreed to further neighborhood outreach and the commission held the rezoning request to March 6 for deed‑restriction options or other protections to limit future heavy uses.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6696056,"City planners pause decision on sand‑and‑gravel site amendment after environmental review concerns",207,3667000,3874000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2245577-0ab11a7c1ae8d4acaa6da7ab158a04e2&start=3667&end=3874","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2245577-0ab11a7c1ae8d4acaa6da7ab158a04e2/thumbnail_3667000.jpg","/articles/6696056/Dallas/Dallas-County/Texas/City-planners-pause-decision-on-sandandgravel-site-amendment-after-environmental-review-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6696056-de65b3cad41a29d490cdbf356b384395/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437236&Signature=I7oJs49tyFOrEs4m3WebV9YmXj8HzJIEP0mpml6rDDy-coM3kxXhow8F9iNj9jXkRIWBroENow5Cs~vVOGjLf~HoUoIEckLigNf12ID-dkqww4pEWeis5GC1VRlqYPXGvKM~3YbkA5CsoZPAY5eStHBuynd1gXzMxnaE0mCjNyUGOWahcvSyz8ON86~J2S24pYgNmTqODzkI25iveUpWHyj-OSWiQL6EedVRxZrqKWolraQunqw3fHmqzQN~PK8aA7YBR6TbnLUaS5EG3oApkt8Pu8tbhnJbvXx11ai4MD3gvewiGU6Foygw8Y6ZBuDj0sdoi81Zx0MiZONMfkEVBg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The commission deferred action Thursday on a request to amend an existing specific use permit (SUP) governing a former sand‑and‑gravel mining site in southeast Dallas so the property could be maintained as a permanent detention lake rather than be backfilled.

The site, originally mined as a source for landfill cover, now functions as a large on‑site basin that city stormwater reviewers said provides floodplain storage and reduces downstream runoff. Applicant representatives, and multiple city environmental and public‑works reviewers, told commissioners the SUP amendment was requested because strict compliance with older SUP language would require costly backfill that could worsen local hydrology and environmental impacts.

Staff recommended approval of amended SUP conditions that would allow the lake to remain as configured while adding updated dust‑suppression, maintenance, and future‑development trigger language requiring full hydraulic/hydrologic review if the site were redeveloped. Several commissioners and public commenters asked for more time to review TCEQ monitoring documents, groundwater and landfill‑neighbor monitoring reports, and to ensure the property’s long‑term condition will not create health risks for nearby residences.

After discussion, the commission voted to keep the public hearing open and hold the matter under advisement until March 6 to allow staff to provide further environmental analyses, documentation of landfill monitoring, and any outstanding public‑works clarifications. Staff said the landfill adjacent to the site is in post‑closure monitoring under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and had provided historical monitoring records during the case review.

Commissioners emphasized that the hold is intended to allow more technical review and community outreach rather than to block the proposal; staff continued to recommend the SUP amendment contingent on technical conditions and periodic monitoring.","The City Planning Commission held the matter for an amended SUP that would allow a former mining site to remain as a detention lake instead of requiring backfilling.
