The City of
Duncanville began reviewing the zoning ordinance in February 2019 with a
community open house, online survey, and stakeholder interviews. Since that
time, City Council, City Staff, the Planning & Zoning Commission, and the
City’s consultant team have collaborated to develop a revised draft of the zoning
ordinance.
The zoning
ordinance establishes regulations for:
The land-use types that are allowed in various zoning districts;
The minimum lot size, width, and depth;
The maximum building height and minimum setbacks from property lines;
The minimum amount of parking required for each use type and general design requirements for parking areas;
The minimum amount of landscaping required for developments;
The placement and the maximum size and number of accessory structures that can be located on a property; and
The procedures for addressing nonconforming uses and structures.
The zoning
map designates the zoning districts that apply to properties throughout the
City. The new zoning ordinance will combine some existing districts.
The City of Duncanville will be hosting a Virtual Open House on Thursday, November 19 at 7:00 pm. Members of the community are invited to attend this event either by registering for the Zoom event or the City’s Facebook Livestream.
Following
the Virtual Open House presentation, the community is encouraged to visit https://clients.freese.com/duncanvillezoning and fill out the survey that will
provide input on the draft ordinance. Alternatively, hard copies of the survey
are available at City Hall. The survey is available through Thursday,
December 3.
The draft
ordinance is available for review on the website below.

A Call for Citizen Input on the Main Street Corridor Project
City of Duncanville, Texas City Council Meeting for November 17, 2020
On February 6, 2018, the Duncanville Citizen Bond Committee
was established by City Council and charged with evaluating community needs and
making recommendations for potential capital improvement projects to be
presented to voters. The 19-member committee toured the city, conducted a town
hall, and returned in July of 2018 with recommendations
to make improvements to area parks, the Central Fire Station, Service Center,
and streets, including the Camp Wisdom Road at North Main Street intersection.
In November of 2018, a bond election was held and Proposition B, issuance of $6,600,000 in general obligation bonds for street, sidewalk, alley, and other traffic flow improvements was passed. Proposition B included the recommended improvements to East Danieldale Road between South Main Street and US 67, South Cedar Ridge Drive between Big Stone Gap and West Wheatland Road, and the intersection of North Main Street between Camp Wisdom and I-20.
Of the $6.6 million $1.5 million was budgeted for the North
Main Street at Camp Wisdom intersection pending selection for inclusion in the
Dallas County 7th Call for Projects. The North Main Street at Camp
Wisdom Road intersection project to address the railroad grade issue required a
larger investment than the bond provided.
On March 16, 2019, Dallas County invited cities to submit
applications for project proposals they could partner on to improve regional
transportation infrastructure through the Major
Capital Improvement Projects (MCIP) 7th Call for Projects. This
program is typically implemented every two to three years. The City of
Duncanville submitted the Main Street at Camp Wisdom intersection project and
the Wintergreen Road Phase II project for inclusion and funding under the 7th
Call. Approval means an investment from the County doubling the funding for
improvements to Duncanville streets.
May 21, 2019, the Duncanville City Council unanimously
approved $150,000, which was matched by Dallas County, for an engineering
study of three intersections along the Main Street Corridor. Main Street at
Camp Wisdom Road, Main Street at Davis Street, and Main Street at Center Street
were studied and
the scope of improvements defined. The engineering study examined how
improvements would positively impact traffic efficiency, pedestrian mobility,
economic vitality, and connectivity to a potential commuter rail station.
With information from the engineering study, a total of six
design options were created for the North Main Street at Camp Wisdom Road intersection
as well as other locations along the Main Street Corridor.
In October 2019, while the corridor study was being conducted, City staff contacted BNSF Railway, owner of the rail line that runs through Duncanville, to invite them to a meeting to discuss proposed changes to the Main at Camp Wisdom intersection. BNSF Railway declined to attend and rejected any proposed changes at the intersection that would encroach upon their 100-foot right-of-way. A proposed design included a hike and bike trail and a new turn lane that was inside that right-of-way.
The design options were either non-starters due to BNSF’s rejection, made only minor improvements, exceeded the Duncanville and Dallas County $3,000,000 combined budget, or were unlikely to be approved for 7th Call for Projects inclusion.
The proposed intersection improvement project that scored
highest was within the budget, met the goals, and offered a measurable
improvement to the lives of Duncanville residents is a project at the
intersection of Main Street at Center Street. The design of a roundabout is
proposed at an estimated cost of $3,071,239 that would meet both Duncanville
and 7th Call’s goals and is the likeliest to be approved by Dallas
County.
The City of Duncanville, understanding the voters’ desire
for an improvement to the Main at Camp Wisdom intersection, is inviting
residents to review the proposed Main Street at Center Street roundabout project,
as well as the information provided, and to give feedback for the Duncanville
City Council Regular Meeting on December 1, 2020. Residents can submit their name, address, and public
comments to citysecretary@duncanville.com
from now until 4:00 PM on Tuesday, December 1, 2020.
