AGENDA DATE: February 19, 2026
COUNCIL DISTRICT(S): Citywide
DEPARTMENT: Department of Planning and Development

SUBJECT
title
Consideration of amendments to the ForwardDallas 2.0 Comprehensive Plan to address economically disadvantaged communities and areas experiencing environmental and infrastructure challenges.
BACKGROUND
Council Resolution No. 25-1081 directed the City Manager to review and evaluate the City programs and policies to determine whether any adjustments may be necessary for compliance with federal directives. That review identified several council-adopted plans, policies, and programs that require updates. The proposed ordinance and resolution introduce the changes needed to bring the City into alignment with the federal requirements.
Because Section 51A-1.108(d) requires the City to follow the zoning-amendment procedure when amending an area plan or any vision, policy, or programmatic plan within ForwardDallas 2.0, these items are being brought forward separately from the items approved on December 10, 2025.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
The City Council was briefed on the Federal Compliance review on August 6, 2025, October 1, 2025, and December 3, 2025.
Staff Recommendation: Approval of amendments of amendments to the ForwardDallas 2.0 Comprehensive plan in order to advance the Plan for review and adoption by City Council.
Planner: Arturo Del Castillo, AIA
