Letter to Dallas City Council: Adopt ForwardDallas in its entirety

For over three years, the city of Dallas has been diligently updating ForwardDallas, Dallas' comprehensive land use plan that establishes guidelines for how public and private land should be used and what the city should look like. Now, members of the Dallas City Council are currently being briefed and providing input.
Send a letter to show your elected officials that you support their adopting ForwardDallas in its entirety as recommended by the City Plan Commission and Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) Committee.
Unfortunately, there are some councilmembers who are either entirely or partially opposed to the ForwardDallas update due to the Housing Choice + Access theme, despite the additional framework for Dallas' future growth and protection of the city's existing housing stock, envisioning of a wider variety of housing types for people of all incomes and stages of life, and language to guide the timely implementation of design standards and anti-displacement tools.
Proposed Primary and Secondary Land Uses from Revised Draft #5 (CPC Final) July 2024
