• 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.

  • NHHA is not officially affiliated with Save Pepper Square Neighborhood Association, but as the majority of respondents to our prior surveys about the rezoning application were not pleased with the developer’s proposal, we felt it was prudent to share what community efforts are being undertaken to challenge it. You are not under any obligation to donate or participate.
