SPROUTS COMING TO FORT WORTH AVENUE
From Council Member Chad West:
Neighborhood leaders and friends,
I’m happy to report that the Sprouts zoning matter proposed for the corner of Fort Worth Avenue and Hampton Road was unanimously approved by the Dallas City Council. In the months since the City Plan Commission denied the zoning application, neighborhood leaders and I continued to work with the applicant to seek the additional concessions noted in the Motion, and I appreciate my colleagues on City Council supporting these efforts.
Special thanks to the following individuals:
-
-
D1 Plan Commissioner Amanda Popken
-
Katherine Homan, Fort Worth Avenue Development Group President, and the entire FWADG team
-
David Preziosi, representative for Stevens Park Village
-
Jeff Herrington, architect of the community survey and representative of Stevens Park Estates
-
Rebecca Mohr, President of El Tivoli neighborhood
-
Jane Hamilton, neighbor who assisted with community engagement
-
Brian Maynard, Tim Herfel, Trudy Newton, and Kris Butler, who appeared in person or virtually today (in addition to several of the folks above) to speak in favor of the revised site plan and conditions
-
The 1480 neighbors within 3 miles of the site who took the community survey and attended meetings
-
Sprouts has not updated me on their timeline for construction – the D1 office will keep everyone informed as more information develops.
Thank you!
Chad

Sprouts Site Plan
The Beckley Avenue at Commerce Street project scope entails realigning the Beckley Avenue travel lanes and providing an at-grade traffic signalized intersection. The project will also provide new sidewalks, dedicated on-street bike lanes on Beckley Avenue, pedestrian lighting, landscaping, drainage and water/wastewater improvements. The $7 million construction project is estimated to be substantially complete in late January 2018.
