Z-1547-26 — General Retail (GR) and Multiple Family District-18 (MF) subdistricts
This case involves amending an existing Planned Development district (PD-101) at the intersection of S. Westmoreland Road and W. Belt Line Road to establish General Retail and Multiple Family subdistricts. Nearby residents have expressed concerns about anticipated traffic and drainage impacts from this mixed-use development on approximately 17.15 acres.
PD-202 — new subdivision
PD-202 seeks to rezone approximately 24.3 acres along N. Westmoreland Road to Multiple Family zoning with deviations to enable a new residential subdivision. The project is adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods and will significantly alter the character of the area north of W. Belt Line Road.
PD-101 — General Retail (GR) and Multiple Family District-18 (MF) subdistricts with associated development standards and deviations
This case proposes to amend the PD-101 planned development to establish General Retail and Multiple Family District-18 subdistricts on 17.15 acres at the W. Belt Line and S. Westmoreland intersection. The amendment includes development standards and deviations from the city's zoning ordinance. Developers should track this case if they have interests in commercial retail or multifamily residential projects in this DeSoto location.
ST-520 — Multi-family residential complex with 200 dwelling units consisting of 66 two-family dwellings (duplexes) and 134 single-family detached dwellings
This rezoning creates a new Planned Development (PD-202) to allow a 200-unit mixed residential project on approximately 24 acres in DeSoto, combining duplex and single-family units with one-story height limits. The development includes 470 parking spaces, five dumpsters, landscaping requirements, and screening walls along adjacent roads and waterways. Developers should assess whether this precedent for mixed density single-family/duplex projects impacts nearby residential or planned development opportunities.
Z-1557-26 — General Retail (GR) and Multiple Family District-18 (MF-18) subdistricts with mixed-use development including 235 residential units and two restaurant buildings
This amendment to Planned Development 101 establishes General Retail and Multiple Family District-18 subdistricts on 17.15 acres at 800 W. Belt Line Road, enabling a mixed-use development with 235 multifamily residential units, two restaurant buildings, and associated commercial retail uses. The development is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan's Destination Mixed Use designation and adjacent zoning, and staff recommended approval with the Planning & Zoning Commission approving unanimously (4-0) on August 11, 2026.
Z-1556-26 — Garage/Accessory Dwelling (conversion of existing garage and bathroom)
This case involves a specific use permit request to convert an existing garage and bathroom into a garage/accessory dwelling unit in a single-family residential zone. The property is approximately 0.219 acres located near the intersection of N. Hampton Road and Hanna Avenue. The case was approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission on a 4-0 vote with no public opposition.
PD-109 — Park or Playground (Private) Non-Commercial
This case involves a request to allow a private, non-commercial park or playground use on approximately 10 acres within the DeSoto House of Peace & Community Center property at 531 W. Belt Line Road. Developers should monitor this case if it affects land holdings in the area bounded by W. Belt Line Road, N. Westmoreland Road, Spinner Road, and N. Hampton Road.
SUP-319 — Garage/Accessory Dwelling
This case grants a Specific Use Permit to allow an accessory dwelling/garage on a single-family residential lot in DeSoto. The property at 1213 Hanna Circle remains zoned SF-10 but receives permission for a use not normally permitted in that district. Developers should note this establishes a precedent for accessory dwelling uses in this residential area and location.
05-2026 — Minor Automobile Repair Shop
This case seeks a Specific Use Permit to operate a minor automobile repair shop on 0.809 acres currently zoned General Retail at 1027 E Belt Line Road. Staff recommends denial because the proposed use does not align with the Comprehensive Plan designation for medium-density residential development, which envisions single-family attached housing rather than commercial automotive repair facilities. The property is adjacent to single-family residential zoning to the north and south.
