A large industrial development company is requesting the City of Richardson, TX to modify the zoning of the former Owens Farm 27 acres so they can build 3 large warehouse/distribution buildings on the property.  One (1) of the 3 buildings is over two (2) football fields long and 47 feet high. There are hundreds or thousands of homes in the immediate area whose home values will be negatively impacted by this zoning change and large industrial development with accompanying visual, noise, flooding, air and traffic impacts. 

Current zoning restricts building height. This proposal wants higher building height allowances.  Semi-truck traffic will more than double current traffic patterns through the intersection of Plano Rd and Lookout Dr. with more than 900 truck trips per day.

Increased risk of additional flooding in the bordering Spring Creek, and increased water, air, and noise pollution from over 100 semi-truck bays with semi-trucks idling and leaking hydraulic fluids, diesel fuel and coolant, draining into Spring Creek and surrounding neighborhoods. 

Please sign to show your opposition to the zoning change request ZF20-21.

Please appear at the Richardson, TX City Council meeting on Jan 25th.
