Inwood Road Enhancement Zone
In June 2016, the Town of Addison hired a consultant team to study an area generally south of Belt Line Road and west of Inwood Road, and to make recommendations to enhance and improve it. The area consists of 29 parcels spanning across approximately 60 acres bounded by Belt Line Road to the north, Inwood Road to the east, Beltway Drive to the west, and the Addison/Farmers Branch city limit line to the south and west. The study process included two community meetings and involved an advisory committee of Town residents and business/property owners in order to receive a variety of public input. Through a series of extensive area analysis and visioning exercises, the Study Area was divided into four Character Districts and the two options for a draft Development Plan were established, calling for a mix of office, retail, hotel, and park/open space. The final report consists of a three-phase approach that analyzes existing conditions and physical challenges, establishes a vision and redevelopment opportunities, and recommends implementation strategies for both concepts. In April 2017, City Council adopted the Inwood Road Corrido Special Area Study findings as part of the Comprehensive Plan.
