City Releases Draft Zoning Map as part of Denton Code 2030
Multiple Open Houses to be held to Engage Residents
DENTON, TX,April 13, 2018-The City of Denton has released the draft zoning map
component of the Denton Code 2030 project. The draft map includes updated zoning districts for
every property in Denton.
The draft zoning map is an important piece of the overall effort to make comprehensive updates
to the Denton Development Code (DDC). The DDC outlines the rules and processes that regulate
where and what type of development can occur. Through Denton Code 2030, the City is working
to update the DDC to be more customer-friendly and provide a strong foundation for all
development in Denton. As part of the update to the DDC, zoning districts were consolidated,
renamed, and developed to better fit with the community vision, goals,policies, and strategies
identified in the Denton Plan 2030. The draft zoning map is the application of the new zoning
districts across Denton.
"Updating the zoning districts and developing a new zoning map are integral steps in the Denton
Code 2030 project," said Director of Development Services Scott McDonald. "And the draft
zoning map represents a change, even if it is a minimal change, for every property owner in
Denton."
To rollout the draft zoning map and other DDC updates, the City is hosting seven open houses
throughout April and May. All citizens are invited to attend any of the meetings,but open houses
have been scheduled at various sites throughout the city for convenience. Property owners can
also provide feedback online at www.DentonCode203O.com.
"We want every property owner to be aware of the Denton Code 2030 project, the draft zoning
map, and what changes will impact their property," said McDonald. "We also want to provide
ample opportunities for engagement, feedback, and discussion, so we invite every property
owner to attend any or all of the open houses."
Property owners interested in learning more about the draft zoning map and how their property
will be rezoned can go to www.DentonCode203O.com and click on icon labeled"Zoning Map."
