Texas House District 107 is made up largely of single family residential neighborhoods. The area also includes commercial zoning and some multi-family apartment dwellings, both of which tend to be located along the major thoroughfares.

Our area of the city is growing quickly, and as a result, many people wish to preserve the look and feel of their neighborhoods. This has led many people to attempt to create either a neighborhood stabilization overlay or a conservation district overlay. In fact, since the creation of NSOs, half the applications submitted have been inside the boundaries of District 107.

Neighborhood Stabilization Overlays

Although the process for obtaining an NSO does not take as long as a conservation district, it is still a very involved process that requires research and organization.

Several neighborhoods in District 107 have applied for NSOs since the process was introduced in 2005. A map with "areas of interest" for the Northeast area of the city and a list of NSOs with status information can be viewed on the City of Dallas Web site.
