Denton proposes specialized development plan for property near schools and park

The Denton Planning and Zoning Commission convened on February 26, 2025, to discuss various developments and zoning matters in the city. The meeting focused on a proposed development located on the north side of Denton, specifically on the east side of Bonnie Brae, just south of Loop 288 and north of Windsor.

The property is strategically positioned near several key landmarks, including Denton High School directly across Bonnie Brae and an elementary school currently under construction to the northeast. Additionally, a park lies to the east and south of the site, while commercial development is present along Loop 288, approximately one mile from the property. The surrounding area features a mix of residential options, including single-family homes, horizontal multifamily units, and traditional multifamily townhomes.

The property is zoned R7, which allows for a variety of residential uses. Bonnie Brae and Windsor are classified as secondary arterial roads, with Highway 77 to the north serving as a primary arterial. The commission discussed the proposed development plan, emphasizing the importance of specialized zoning for unique projects like this one.

The meeting highlighted the ongoing efforts to accommodate growth in Denton while considering the diverse needs of the community. Further discussions and decisions regarding the development plan are expected in future meetings, as the commission continues to evaluate the implications of such projects on the surrounding area.
