Denton board adopts zoning change to shrink minimum single‑family lot size to 11,000 sq ft
Summary
Ordinance 25‑2‑1 passed 3–2 to reduce minimum single‑family detached lot size from 12,000 to 11,000 square feet; developers said smaller lots would allow more lots on the St. Mary’s property.
The Village of Denton Board of Trustees voted to adopt Ordinance 25‑2‑1 on Feb. 12, 2025, amending the zoning code to reduce the minimum lot size for single‑family detached homes from 12,000 square feet to 11,000 square feet. The ordinance was introduced, the clerk read it by title, the board voted to suspend the second and third readings, and final approval passed on a 3–2 vote.
Developers Tim Ashoff and William Jefferies said reducing the minimum lot size would make the project layout feasible on the St. Mary’s Addition parcel. The clerk read the ordinance by title during the meeting. Final recorded votes on the adoption motion were: AYE — Trent Wheatley, Joe Hobelman, Amanda Fangmeier; NAY — Doug Rosekrans, Ryan Osborn. The introduction and first reading earlier in the meeting had recorded an initial vote with the same principal supporters and Ryan Osborn voting no on the readings.
The transcript contains an inconsistency in the section citation for the zoning amendment (the meeting referenced both "Section 5.07.06" and "Section 5.05.06"). The ordinance is identified in the minutes as Ordinance 25‑2‑1; the board did not provide an additional published citation during the session. The clerk indicated the matter was introduced and advanced under standard municipal procedure.
