The process for most requests:

Presented to and considered at a public hearing by the Planning and Zoning Commission
Planning and Zoning Commission makes a recommendation to Irving City Council at the first public hearing.
Ultimately, the City Council determines at the second public hearing whether a requested Zoning Change should be granted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to do any type of construction on my property?

Zoning regulations pertain to land use and where on a lot a structure may be placed. Actual regulation of the construction process is handled through the Inspections Department.

If you are planning to do any type of construction, demolition, foundation repair, electrical work, mechanical work, plumbing work, irrigation, fences, signs, fire alarms, house moving, carnivals/circuses, swimming pools, gas wells, tree removal, addition to an existing structure, etc., call Inspections Department at (972) 721-2371 to find out if a permit is needed. This number will direct the caller through a series of menus and to the correct member of that team.

What is the zoning of my property?

For quick reference purposes, look up the zoning for your property by connecting to the interactive Web map.
Type your address in the box in the top left side of the screen and hit enter, or zoom into your property if the address is not found.
Then look at the symbols on the top right corner of the screen and click on the one that looks like three squares stacked on top of each other. This will open up a "layers list."
Check the box next to "Planning and Zoning," and the map should change colors and a zoning label should appear.
Also, you may now click on the map, and the zoning information for any given parcel should appear in a text box.
"Case Number," "Class" and "Use" are the three pieces of information you may need to figure out allowable uses for a site. Class indicates the zoning district. Case Number can help city staff look up details of the property if the zone involves any sort of site plan. Use is a quick reference code for site plan districts.
If you click the arrow next to the Planning and Zoning layer box, you can see that there are other layers of information that could be shown in the map, such as Overlay Districts.
It is easiest to have only one subcategory displayed at a time. Call (972) 721-2424 if you need assistance with this.
To find out details about what uses are allowed on your property, please view the Chapter 2 of the Unified Development Code or call the Planning Department at (972) 721-2424.
