What's proposed

Owner Texaz Perceptions Partners, LTD (applicant Kiesha Kay / Mission Ridge Consultants) asks the City to terminate deed restrictions Z834-123 (Tract 6B) on land zoned CR Community Retail. The restrictions prohibit multifamily and cap multifamily at 0.25 FAR and 2 stories / 54 ft. Staff states that under Senate Bill 840 and Chapter 218 of the Texas Local Government Code the City must allow multifamily on retail-zoned land without density or floor-area limits and cannot enforce these restrictions anyway; the applicant wants them removed as a formality for its lender. No zoning change and no new construction are proposed; CR zoning stays.

Staff recommendation

"Approval." No conditions, time limits or replacement restrictions are listed.

Who it helps or hurts

Adjacent single-family / residential ownersNeutral to mildly hurt

The report lists multifamily north (PD 599) and east (PD 938), multifamily under development west (PD 1129), and Duncanville to the south. Single-family owners on Clarkview Dr, Clarkwood Dr, Clarktown Ct and Keywe Pl are on the notification list. Termination clears the way for an apartment or mixed-use project state law already permits; no buffers, screening or hours are added. Engineering had no objection.

Nearby commercial / land investorsHelpful

follows Z223-304 (Mar 26, 2025), which created an MU-1 PD and terminated part of the same Z834-123 restrictions just northwest of this corner. Signals remaining Z834-123 tracts can be cleared. Area is MVA "F".

Within about 1,000 feet

W. Camp Wisdom Road and Clark Road are both principal arterials (107 ft ROW); DART route 223 within a half mile; staff cites proximity to "large educational facilities" (not named).

Watch for

  • Page footers read "Z-26-000193" while the file number is Z-26-000191 — a clerical inconsistency worth confirming on the record.
  • 27 property owners notified (list dated 09/21/2026); replies not stated in the report.
  • Because the City considers the restrictions unenforceable, the practical effect is formal rather than substantive.

Next step

Yes — the termination goes to City Council after CPC (the 2025 precedent was done by Council resolution); date not stated in the report.
