A Temporary Restraining Order was filed by the 501(c)(4) Save Pepper Square Neighborhood Association. The TRO was granted, which prevented the Dallas City Council from discussing or voting on the rezoning request for the Pepper Square site at the October Council Meeting. A Temporary Injunction hearing was held on Friday, November 1 and will be continued on Friday, November 8. If the injunction request is not successful, the City Council will likely vote on the rezoning application at their next scheduled meeting (November 13). If the injunction request is approved, the vote on the rezoning application will be delayed further. The Save Pepper Square Neighborhood Association is relying on private donations to continue the legal battle. If you are unhappy with the way this rezoning application and city approval process has played out, and want to help fight for further revisions to the developer's plan before the City votes on it, they are asking for your support.

In summary, they are seeking to build 752 residential units over 3 phases, in buildings that range from 5 stories to 12 stories. They would have the option to add an additional 116 units if they are designated as retirement housing and another additional 116 units if they are made available to households earning less than the area median family income. (It’s likely they would opt to pay a fee in lieu of offering the mixed-income housing units). The total maximum number of dwelling units would be 984. Their most recent prior proposal had included a maximum number of dwelling units of 1,550. The first phase of their proposal would include a 5 story building with 300 units and two park spaces – one along Belt Line Rd and one interior [...]
