Help with Understanding Dallas Zoning

[Ben Pospisil]

I have a SFR that I am putting under contract today. It is in the bishop arts / oak cliff area. It has been vacant for a very long time but the structure is still standing. The seller just needs to get rid of it and pay the fines and back taxes.

I have been down to the city’s office off of Jefferson and spoke with Tanisha, and it seems like nobody can give me a straight answer on what they will allow on this lot. The property is in the Jefferson PD 316 sub area 6. 50x110 lot size with ally.

The PD allows for Duplex/Multifamily but also requires a MUP(Mixed-use) if you only do duplex.

Thanks for the feedback.
