FINDING OUT ABOUT PENDING CASES

Below is a link to an Interactive Map of recent or pending cases. Only applications filed in the past 24 months are shown. When logging into the map, if you enter your property address in the top left corner of the map, it will zoom to that area of the city so you can see which cases are "active" in your area. If a colored parcel appears nearby, you can click on that parcel to see a pop up containing information about the case number and current status of that case.

Providing Feedback

Every land use decision made helps shape the future of the City for decades to come. That is why it is critical for the Planning and Zoning Commission, City Council, and City Staff to hear what the public thinks about proposed changes to land use rules for sites their neighborhood. There are multiple ways to make your voice heard:

• Return Your Public Notice-If you received a notice about a case in the mail, fill it out, sign it, and mail or e-mail it back to us, or just send us an e-mail with your message. 
  • Our Mailing Address is: 
    • Planning and Community Development Department,     
    • PO Box 152288    
    • Irving, Texas  75015-2288
  • Our E-Mail Address is Planning@cityofirving.org
• Sign a Petition: If you and your neighbors wish to organize your message and input, you may start a petition clearly stating a position either for or against a case. Each person who signs the petition needs to provide their printed name, signature, their address, and the date of signature. A petition can be mailed to our department at the address above, or hand delivered to the Planning and Zoning offices on the 2nd floor of City Hall at 825 W. Irving Blvd.
• Speak at the Public Hearing: Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council meetings are open to the public.

ZONING CASES, PUBLIC NOTICES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS

The City of Irving receives many requests to change the Zoning (the rules for allowed land uses) of properties. The process for most of these requests is that they are reviewed by City Staff, presented to and considered at a Public Hearing by the Planning and Zoning Commission, which then makes a recommendation to City Council. Ultimately, the City Council determines, at a second Public Hearing, whether a requested Zoning Change should be granted.

Prior to the Public Hearing, cases are advertised in the newspaper, and public notices are mailed out to the owners of surrounding properties within a distance of 200 feet from the proposed Zoning change, per state law. Notices are also sent to the local school district, per state law, and as a courtesy to registered neighborhood associations within that distance. Some types of cases have larger notification distances.

These notices will identify the Case Number, the location of the case, what is being requested, the time and date of the scheduled public hearings.  

If you receive such a public notice, if you wish, you may return the form or email us to indicate whether you support or oppose the requested Zoning Change, indicate whether (and which) nearby property you own or represent, and the reasons for your support or opposition to the case.  Such public feedback is useful when determining whether a proposed change in allowable land uses will benefit a neighborhood or not.  All such correspondence must be received in writing.
