The Dallas City Plan Commission on April 24 held a morning briefing and then heard zoning and subdivision business. The commission approved a mix of staff recommendations, removed two cases for individual consideration, held several items for additional information and denied one subdivision plat request. Key outcomes are summarized below; detailed case identifiers and outcomes follow.

Why it matters: the commission’s approvals move several zoning cases and plan amendments forward to public hearing or final action, including a major authorized‑hearing rezoning for the Hampton/Clarendon corridor (WMU 3 with shopfront overlay on a portion). Several items were held for additional engineering, public notice or applicant revisions; one subdivision replat was denied following a finding of incompatibility with the neighborhood lot pattern.

Votes and notable motions (selected items):
- Consent docket (items 2, 4, 6): closed and approved per staff recommendations. Motion to approve consent carried (moved by Commissioner Wheeler Regan; second Commissioner Hampton). Items included specific use permits and a renewal of an industrial outdoor use SUP.
- KZ223244 (Case 3): rezoning request to MU‑1 to legitimize a long‑standing parking lot (Bank of America site) was approved (motion by Commissioner Chernock; second Commissioner Sleeper). Two commissioners recorded opposition during the vote.
- KZ245115 (Case 5): application for an SUP to allow alcohol sales at a small general merchandise store was held to May 8 at the applicant’s request (motion to hold by Commissioner Chernock; second Commissioner Hampton).
- KZ234165 (Case 7): SUP amendment/renewal for alcohol sales was approved (motion by Commissioner Chernock; second Commissioner Hampton).
- KZ234279 (Case 8): specific use permit for a drive‑through restaurant was approved for a two‑year period with conditions (motion by Commissioner Hampton; second Commissioner Carpenter).
- KZ23436T (Case 9): plan district for MF‑3A multifamily and removal of a D1 liquor overlay was approved subject to development plan and conditions; commissioners added or confirmed tree preservation language as an amendment (motion by Commissioner Franklin; second Commissioner Hall; friendly amendment accepted by mover).
- KZ245124 (Case 10): rezoning of agricultural land to R‑5A (single family) was held to May 8 for additional engineering, traffic and community follow‑up (motion by Commissioner Franklin; second Commissioner Hampton).
- Case Z234286 (Case 11): applicant asked for PD rework; the commission agreed to re‑advertise the case as a planned‑development district and continue to June 12 for further review and community coordination (motion by Commissioner Forsyth; second Commissioner Hampton).
- Z245‑117 (Case 12): amendment to PD 1065 (Mockingbird corridor data center / communications exchange facility) was approved subject to staff conditions (motion by Commissioner Hampton; second Commissioner Franklin).

Subdivision docket: most consent plat items were approved. One replat (S245‑134) was denied after commissioners found the proposed lots would be incompatible with surrounding lot sizes and widths; the denial was made following a roll call vote and findings pursuant to the subdivision review standards.

Authorized hearing items:
- Hampton/Clarendon authorized‑hearing zoning (Z189‑349): after extended public comment the commission approved the staff recommendation to adopt WMU 3 (Walkable Mixed‑Use District 3) with a shopfront overlay on a portion of the corridor; the motion was moved by Commissioner Chernock and seconded by Commissioner Housewright. The item drew extensive public testimony from neighbors, business owners and community groups on both sides of the question.
- Edgefield/Clarendon authorized‑hearing (Z189‑143): the commission voted not to authorize a public hearing for that smaller authorized area, citing community response and lack of consensus.

What this means next: approved zoning recommendations will proceed to additional public‑hearing steps or will be carried forward in staff work; items held for further review will return at the dates noted above. The South Dallas Fair Park area plan (briefed earlier the same day) and the Hampton/Clarendon WMU 3 authorization are the most substantive policy items with near‑term implementation steps (public hearings and PD amendments).
