Things are Sprout-ing around here

District 1 Coucilmember Chad West is happy to report that the Sprouts zoning matter proposed for the corner of Fort Worth Ave. and Hampton Rd. was unanimously approved by the Dallas City Council in March. In the months since the City Plan Commission denied the zoning application, neighborhood leaders and West continued to work with the applicant to seek the additional concessions noted in the Motion.

Special thanks goes out to the following individuals:

• D1 Plan Commissioner Amanda Popken
• Katherine Homan, Fort Worth Avenue Development Group President, and the entire FWADG team
• David Preziosi, representative for Stevens Park Village
• Jeff Herrington, architect of the community survey and representative of Stevens Park Estates
• Rebecca Mohr, President of El Tivoli neighborhood
• Jane Hamilton, neighbor who assisted with community engagement
• Brian Maynard, Tim Herfel, Trudy Newton, and Kris Butler, who appeared in person or virtually (in addition to several of the folks above) to speak in favor of the revised site plan and conditions
• The 1480 neighbors within 3 miles of the site who took the community survey and attended meetings

West will keep residents informed on the timeline for construction as more information develops.
