Developer seeks rezoning of Euclid Road property; neighbors object to high density
Summary
A developer proposed converting a 1.8-acre C-1 site at 2345 Euclid Road into a 17-lot SF-5 planned development; neighbors raised density and lot-size concerns and commissioners did not approve the rezoning at the meeting.
Staff described a request by an applicant to rezone roughly 1.80 acres at 2345 Euclid Road from limited commercial retail (C-1) to a Planned Development with SF-5 base zoning to allow 17 single-family lots. The applicant said the proposal would create smaller-footprint single-family homes (minimum 1,350 sq ft) and listed specific deviations including reduced lot size (3,400 sq ft) and reduced setbacks.
The developer and home-builder (Yigal Leila) said the product has sold in other Dallas-area cities and that the design fits nearby recent infill; he said homes would likely be in the $500,000 range and include two-car garages. Multiple residents and local brokers strongly opposed the scale and density, arguing the lots are too small for the neighborhood fabric and that a high unit count on a small site would create parking and compatibility problems.
Commissioners probed the history of the site, existing zoning patterns and whether a commercial-to-residential conversion was appropriate; after discussion a motion to approve the rezoning failed and the commission adjourned.
