A news flash, courtesy of the LHAIA and Robin Norcross: "The Dallas City Council voted unanimously this afternoon to revise the zoning of the former Northwest Terrace Apartments to allow Churchill Residential to move forward with their plans to redevelop the site as a senior living center. Thanks to the efforts of the ‘L’ Streets, Highland Meadows and Lake Ridge Estates HOA’s and Crime Watch 1077, the Council responded to the neighboring homeowners’ overwhelming desire to deny the Planning and Zoning’s recommendation which had been to leave the current zoning in place."
The apartment complex in question is located just east of the Ebby Halliday office on Northwest Highway near Ferndale, and it has been vacant and fenced off for quite a few months now. The initial concern of neighbors wasn’t so much with the senior living aspect of the project, as I understand it, but with the developer’s implicit threat to reopen the apartment complex if the zoning he was requesting wasn’t approved. No word on the timetable, etc., but we’ll keep you posted.
