Sprouts grocery shows how hard it is to build in Dallas | Opinion
Interior of the latest version of a Sprouts Farmers Market.It took more than a year and half and jumping through every hoop Dallas City Hall could muster, butIf ever you needed an example of how hard it is to build in Dallas, here it is. In an area that badly wants more access to fresh produce, a company that presented a sensitive site design, offers organic produce and pays fair wages with good benefits couldn’t get to yes without spending an enormous amount of time, energy and effort.
That may well be true. But a delay of a year and a half when there is a good development on the table deserves scrutiny of city staff’s handling of the matter. It also calls into question how the plan commission interprets what are known as planned development districts that govern zoning and permitting in specific parts of the city.
The Sprouts development needs parking, and no grocer was going to open under the restrictive vision the plan commission was imposing. While Frisco has been celebrating its new H-E-B stores, southern Dallas is still in need of better shopping opportunities, especially when it comes to groceries. Sprouts offers a great additional option.
