West Oak Cliff plan needs amending | Opinion
Students and parents cross Clarendon Drive after leaving Winnetka Elementary on Thursday. The school and the homes of the families whose children attend Winnetka are within the boundaries of the neighborhoods that are being considered in the West Oak Cliff Area Planning initiative.
However, the plan also has non-neighborhood-driven recommendations for South Edgefield and adjacent areas that are not consistent with the interests of a majority of residents. Equity in land use planning means giving priority to traditionally excluded populations and placing them at the center of the planning process in their communities. The city’s recently-adopted Racial Equity Plan states that Dallas should “address longstanding inequities by ensuring zoning is inclusive of historically disadvantaged communities to encourage sustainability.” Even WOCAP identifies that “different approaches may be needed in different areas for various conditions.
When we became aware that increasing walkability really meant that auto-centric businesses, primarily Latino, were being targeted with language that would make them nonconforming, we did something the city didn’t: We engaged the auto shop owners, who in turn formed the Automotive Association of Oak Cliff/Asociación Automotriz de Oak Cliff. Through our combined advocacy and with support from the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Committee, that language was eliminated from the entire WOCAP.
