Plans to tear down houses and build a seven-story apartment building lead to a petition opposing the project.
4x6/Getty ImagesAn entire block of homes bounded by N. Beckley Avenue, Fifth Street, Sixth Street and N. Zang Boulevard could be demolished to make way for a seven-story apartment building with 253 units.
Last October, Whatley received a letter about the proposed zoning change because it would occur within 500 feet of her property. The property in question is on the next street south of her. “So, it’s super close,” she said. She emailed Rob Baldwin of Baldwin Associates, the representative for the developer, stating that she didn’t think the zoning change was a good idea. Since then, she’s been checking daily to see when the proposed zoning change will receive a hearing.
“We are proposing to do what we call retail-ready uses on the ground floor,” Baldwin said. But for the time being, that space would be dedicated to something called live-work units where someone could open up a small retail store or professional office. This is if the proposed zoning change goes through, but Baldwin said the developer will likely move forward with the project even if retail space is required.
Building 253 multifamily units may seem like a good idea as Dallas and the rest of the country face a housing crisis, but Whatley questions whether anyone in the neighborhood would be able to afford these new apartments. There are already many new apartment residences in the neighborhood, and some of the smallest ones are going for $1,700 per month, she said. The biggest ones are renting for more than $3,000.
