Respond to a Notice

If you receive such a public notice, if you wish, you may return the form or email the Planning Department to indicate your support or opposition to the requested Zoning Change, indicate whether (and which) nearby property you own or represent, and the reasons for your support or opposition to the case.


Such public feedback is useful when determining whether a proposed change in allowable land uses will benefit a neighborhood or not. All such correspondence must be received in writing.


Every land use decision made helps shape the future of the City for decades to come. That is why it is critical for the Planning and Zoning Commission, City Council, and City Staff to hear what the public thinks about proposed changes to land use rules for sites their neighborhood.


There are multiple ways to make your voice heard:
  1. Return Your Public Notice: If you received a notice about a case in the mail, fill it out, sign it, and mail or email it back, or send the Planning Department an e-mail with your message. 
  2. Mailing Address: City of Irving, Planning Department, P.O. Box 152288, Irving, TX 75015-2288
  3. Sign a Petition: If you and your neighbors wish to organize your message and input, you may start a petition clearly stating a position either for or against a case.
  4. Each person who signs the petition needs to provide their legible printed name, signature, their address and the date of signature.
  5. A petition can be mailed to the Planning Department, or hand delivered to the department's offices on the second floor of City Hall at 825 W. Irving Blvd.
  6. Only property owners of record within 200 feet will count toward the official opposition calculation, but all feedback may be considered by decision makers. 
  7. A model petition with all required elements is available online. 
  8. Speak at the Public Hearing:  Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council meetings are open to the public. One may attend these meetings and sign up to speak regarding any item on the posted agenda. This is often the best way to make your voice heard. 
  9. You may sign up online, in advance, to indicate you wish to speak before the Planning and Zoning Commission. If you wish to speak before City Council, you must register on-site within 30 minutes prior to the public hearing. Registrations for both meetings cease upon the start of the meeting.
