IV. JURISDICTION AND VENUE
21. The Court has jurisdiction pursuant to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies
Code 37.003 because this action seeks a declaratory judgment regarding the
validity of Dallas City Ordinance No. 29019. Dallass sovereign immunity is waived
pursuant to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code 37.006(b).
22. Venue is proper in Dallas County pursuant to Texas Civil Practice and
Remedies Code 15.002 because Dallas County is the county in which all or a
substantial part of the events giving rise to the claim occurred and because
Defendants reside in Dallas County.
V. FACTUAL BACKGROUND
23. The zoning ordinance allowing Crow to develop a 100,000+ square foot
merchandise store on Planned Development District 889 at the corner of North
Central Expressway and North Carroll Avenue (the Development) is the product of
a fraud upon the people and the City of Dallas.
24. Because of the fundamentally unique character of 100,000+ square foot
merchandise stores, Dallas has historically intervened to restrict their development.

PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 5

25. On August 11, 2004, the Dallas City Council passed a 60-day moratorium
suspending building permits and certificates of occupancy for all new 100,000+
square foot merchandise stores because of neighborhood concerns.
26. A several-year economic and sociological study of 100,000+ square foot
merchandise stores concluded that they cause commercial and residential blight
the megastores sap the life from local retailers, and as local retailers fail, their
surrounding neighborhoods fail as well, resulting in increased crime, housing decay,
suppression of wages, and reduced tax revenue for cities. See EDWARD B. SHILS,
MEASURING THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIOLOGICAL IMPACT OF THE MEGA-RETAIL DISCOUNT CHAINS
ON SMALL ENTERPRISE IN URBAN, SUBURBAN AND RURAL COMMUNITIES 1-16, 206, 218-19
(1997).
27. Recognizing that 100,000+ square foot merchandise stores need special
restrictions, including their own notice, their own hearing, and their own approval
by the City Council, on October 27, 2004, the Dallas City Council passed an ordinance
requiring that 100,000+ square foot merchandise stores obtain a Specific Use
Permit.
28. Dallas also requires design standards for 100,000+ square foot merchandise
stores, and the Dallas Development Code explains that the standards are necessary
because, "[l]arge retail uses often have negative impacts on community aesthetics,
the environment, mass transit, pedestrian circulation, the scale and rhythm of
streetscapes, traffic, and urban sprawl." Dal. Dev. Code 51A-4.605(a)(1).
29. On June 15, 2012, Masterplan Consultants (Masterplan) filed a Zoning
Change Application on behalf of then-owner Xerox Services, LLC ("Xerox")
requesting that the Development's existing zoning be consolidated into a new
Planned Development District ("PD") "for Mixed Use-3." See Zoning Change
Application, p. 21-24 (all attachments to this Petition are bookmarked in the PDF
version pursuant to Judicial Committee on IT Technology Standards 3.1(E)).

PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 6

30. Mixed Use-3 ("MU-3") is a specific zoning use enumerated in the Dallas
Development Code, which defines the purpose of MU-3 as:
To provide for the development of high density retail, office, hotel,
and/or multifamily residential uses in combination on single or
contiguous building sites, to encourage innovative and energy
conscious design, efficient circulation systems, the conservation of
land, and the minimization of vehicular travel.
Dal. Dev. Code 51A-4.125(f)(1) (emphasis added).
31. The Zoning Change Application specifically states that, "the proposal does
not ask for additional uses or development rights." Zoning Change Application, p. 23.
32. By April 2013, Crow had been publicly named as the developer for the
Development, and on August 30, 2013, Crow acquired the property underlying the
Development from Xerox.
33. Although the Zoning Change Application specified MU-3 uses for the
Development, and further stated that "the proposal does not ask for additional uses
or development rights," on information and belief Crow conspired with Masterplan
to pass zoning permitting 100,000+ square foot merchandise stores as an additional
use, all the while misleading both neighborhood residents and city staff and officials
as to Crow's intent.
34. On April 24, 2013, Crow held a community meeting at Alex W. Spence
Talented/Gifted Academy to discuss the Development with the neighbors living
around it (the "Spence Meeting"). East Village Association member David Shaw was
in attendance.
35. At this meeting, Crow presented a mixed-use development called the "East
Village," clearly invoking the image of the West Village, and did not tell the
neighborhood attendees that the development would include a 100,000+ square
foot merchandise store.
36. As the nearby Belmont Park Neighborhood Association President recalled:

PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 7

MR. CARL SMITH: In fact, we were told that there would not be
a big box store there in our - - in our response to asking questions.
And our minute meetings reflect that.
I feel that weve been misled and that our neighborhood is
being raped by those that we [ ] trusted.
I feel that [ ] we are being shown that Trammel[l] Crow is not
going to be a good neighbor by their intention to move forward with
the building of a big box megastore in objection to all of the
surrounding neighborhoods and by the way they misled our
neighborhood with what this development would be.

June 19, 2014 CPC Hearing Tr., p. 28 (Tr. cite14:19-15:7).
37. East Village Association officer Anthony Johnson recalled: When we heard
about this potential [ ] East Village development we really thought it was going to be
something like the West Village, so none of us complained. All of us thought that it
was a great idea. And it was something that we were looking forward to a[s] new
residents of East Dallas. June 19, 2014 CPC Hearing Tr., p. 32 (Tr. cite 23:1-6).
38. A Traffic Impact Analysis was submitted to the city along with the Zoning
Change Application. Its conclusions are tellinga vehicle-dependent development
at the Development site will likely overburden the US-75 Northbound frontage road
north of the North Haskell Avenue on-ramp, as well as North Carroll Avenue East of
US-75. See June 15, 2012 DeShazo Group, Inc. Technical Memorandum, p. 62, 64.
39. As counsel for Crow has conceded, the Development will be automobile
driven. June 19, 2014 CPC Hearing Tr., p. 46 (Tr. cite 45:13-15).
40. The Development is surrounded by small, two-lane streets that are essential
for East Village Association members daily transportation needs. Neighbors,
including East Village Association members, have expressed concerns that the traffic
resulting from the Development will not only be a nuisance, but also a public safety
hazard:
MR. KIRK De BOER: It will not allow it to be walkable, as they
say, because youre going to have so much traffic driving into it.
. . .


PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 8

MS. ADELE ACREY: Im just going to speak quickly about the
design of the streets in the neighborhood. Everything is only two lane.
All our streets are two lane.
Spence School [and], what is it, School For the Blind is right
down the street there and the Multiple Careers Magnet School is on
Rusk. So we have three schools right there in the area. School buses
park on the curbs. Residents park on the curbs. Parents picking up
their students at Spence park on the curbs morning and afternoon.
All of - - DART buses come down Capital. That means those
two-lane streets are glutted consistently. We dont have room for 18-
wheeler trucks, extra traffic glutting up all of those passages and
putting adults and school children and blind people who practice
going up and down Carroll to - - how to use their canes, how to catch
the bus and things like that.
. . .

MS. CE CE SHEARER: Im concerned about a number of things.
The traffic. Whats going to happen to the school children. I am a
teacher so I do worry about those kids running around in the street.
And whats going to happen if like an 18-wheeler comes down there.
And the Lighthouse for the Blind people and things like that.

June 19, 2014 CPC Hearing Tr., p. 33-36 (Tr. cites 25:20-22, 27:4-20, 31:20-25).
41. In advance of the May 2, 2013 CPC hearing to determine whether to
recommend approval of the Development to the City Council, city staff were
required to send notice of the proposed zoning change to neighbors owning real
property within 500 feet of the Development.
42. In preparing this notice, Dallas city staff relied on misrepresentations from
the Zoning Change Application and Masterplan and told neighbors only that the
proposed zoning change would be "for MU-3 Mixed Use District Uses." See May 2,
2013 CPC Notice, p. 67. The CPC Notice did not mention anything about Crow's
intended 100,000+ square foot merchandise store use.
43. Indeed, in a subsequent public hearing on this issue, Commissioner Abtahi
confronted Dallas Interim Assistant Director of Current Planning Neva Dean about
why this notice did not mention 100,000+ square foot merchandise store use when
Dallas notices for this type of zoning typically do:

PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 9

COMMISSIONER ABTAHI: Ms. Dean, we saw some submissions
of other notices that had gone out about other PDs that include the
100,000 square foot of retail. What - - what determination is - - how
do we determine what notice contains that provision and what notice
does not contain that provision?
MS. NEVA DEAN: If I remember the example, the applicant
came in specifically for the big box, either the Walmart of whatever
the use was. We knew that was what they wanted to do so we clearly
put that in there.
This applicant asked for MU-3 uses. And then they had
different standards for those uses.

June 19, 2014 CPC Hearing Tr., p. 47 (Tr. cite 59:11-23).
44. As many neighbors have expressed, including East Village Association
member Christina Casas, who attended the Spence Meeting, "If I would have known
at that time that the big store was coming in like that I would have been here at that
meeting," referring to the May 2, 2013 CPC public hearing on the Development
zoning. June 19, 2014 CPC Hearing Tr., p. 30 (Tr. Cite 16:17-19).
45. On May 2, 2013, the CPC voted to recommend approval of the Development
zoning to the Dallas City Council. The eleven Commissioners present voted for
approval, and four Commissioners were absent. Because no neighbors knew that the
Development would include a 100,000+ square foot merchandise store, nobody
appeared at this public hearing to speak against the proposed zoning for the
Development. See June 19, 2014 CPC Hearing Tr., p. 30, 37 (Tr. cites 16:17-19,
32:11-19).
46. In advance of the May 22, 2013 City Council hearing to determine whether to
approve the Development zoning change, city staff sent out another notice of the
proposed zoning change to neighbors owning real property within 500 feet of the
development. Again, the notice made no mention of Crow's intended 100,000+
square foot merchandise store use, and specified only that the PD would be "for MU-
3 Mixed Use District uses." See May 22, 2013 City Council Notice, p. 73.

PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 10

47. Also in advance of the May 22, 2013 City Council hearing, the City Council
received city staff's analysis of the Development zoning proposal, which itself relied
on misrepresentations concerning the intended use for the Development.
Specifically, the staff analysis states:
The subject site is identified as being within an Urban Mixed Use
Building Block on the forwardDallas! Vision Illustration, adopted June
2006. The Urban Mixed-Use Building Block incorporates a vibrant mix
of residential and employment uses at a lower density than the
Downtown Building Block. These areas are typically near Downtown,
along the Trinity River or near major transit centers. Examples
include Uptown, the City Place/West Village area, Stemmons Design
District, Cedars and Deep Ellum. Urban Mixed-Use Building Blocks
provide residents with a vibrant blend of opportunities to live, work,
shop and play within a closely defined area. Buildings range from
high-rise residential or midrise commercial towers to townhomes and
small corner shops. Good access to transit is a critical element. Similar
to Downtown, the Urban Mixed-Use Building Blocks offer employment
and housing options and are important economic growth areas for
businesses. People on foot or bike can enjoy interesting storefronts at
ground level with benches, public art, on-street parking and wide
sidewalks, creating an appealing streetscape. Large parking areas and
other auto-oriented land uses are typically located at the edges.
The applicant's request is consistent with the forwardDallas! Vision
and further complies with the following goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
. . .
URBAN DESIGN ELEMENT
GOAL 5.1: PROMOTE A SENSE OF PLACE, SAFETY AND WALKABILITY
. . .
GOAL 5.3 ESTABLISHING WALK-TO CONVENIENCE
May 22, 2013 City Council Briefing, p. 76-77.
48. This statement is consistent with what neighbors were told at the Spence
Meeting, and consistent with East Village Association members expectations for the
Development.

PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 11

49. On May 22, 2013, the City Council voted to follow the recommendation of the
CPC and approved the Development zoning change through Ordinance No. 29019.
Without anyone noticing, Crow and Masterplan had managed to include the
following language in the draft and final ordinance:
The following additional uses are permitted on the Property:
-- General merchandise or food store 100,000 square feet or more.
Dal. Dev. Code 51P-889.107(b), p. 108.
50. As Rudolf Bush for the Dallas Morning News reported, reflecting on the
Development's passage a year later on May 23, 2014:
It was submitted in the heart of election season. Everyone's attention
was elsewhere. City staff was doing who knows what when the
planned development slid through the system, then through a thinly
peopled Plan Commission and then through a City Council with its
eyes squarely on the races.
51. In a follow-up article on June 17, 2014, Bush interviewed then-
Councilwoman Pauline Medrano about what Crow represented to her concerning
the Development at the time the City Council passed the zoning:
She said she absolutely would have remembered if Trammell Crow's
Denton Walker had told her that he planned a big box store. Those
words tend to stand out.
I asked her again, was she certain no mention was made of a big box.
She stressed again that this is something that would have gotten her
attention.
52. On information and belief, Crow signed a contract with Sam's Club in August
2013 for the Development, and had been in negotiations with Sam's Club
throughout the zoning process.
53. Having acquired its zoning through deceit and misdirection, Crow went silent
on its intent for the Development, and remained silent until the truth came out.

PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 12

54. On May 19, 2014, the Dallas Morning News reported that at a shopping center
convention in Las Vegas, Crow revealed its intent to use the Development to build a
136,000 square foot Sam's Club.
55. This revelation prompted immediate backlash by the neighborhood
surrounding the Development. Within days, the neighborhood had amassed over
1,500 signatures on a petition to stop Sam's Club from coming in to the
Development. As of the date of this filing, the petition has over 2,700 signatures.
56. On May 22, 2014, the CPC held a hearing on whether or not to approve
Crow's development plan for the Development, and because of the public backlash,
the CPC voted to postpone the vote until July 10, 2014.
57. Also on May 22, 2014, a majority of the CPC submitted a letter requesting a
hearing to authorize a public hearing to determine the proper zoning on the
Development, which was set for June 19, 2014.
58. At the June 19, 2014 CPC hearing, the CPC voted to deny authorizing a new
public hearing.
59. Sixty-six local residents, including East Village Association members,
attended the hearing to ask that the CPC authorize a new public hearing.
60. Although many commissioners were sympathetic to the plight of the
neighborhood, they concluded that they could not stop the Development without
court intervention.
61. Specifically, then-Commissioner Soto stated:
COMMISSIONER SOTO: I believe the original notice on this case
was defective because there was no mention of a general merchandise
food store greater than 100,000 square feet.
I also believe had there been any mention of a big box store it
would have triggered this debate that we have today and this
Commission would not be in the very awkward position that we now
find ourselves.

June 19, 2014 CPC Hearing Tr., p. 49 (Tr. cite 68:12-19).

PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 13

62. And Commissioner Abtahi concurred:
COMMISSIONER ABTAHI: I think there was issues with the
notice. And I think thats a failure on our part. Zoning is not an easy
issue. Its complicated.
The mere fact that you are all here today lends me to believe
that you didnt understand what was going on last year. It may not be
because of anyones fault, but theres plenty of blame to go around
when - - when we are the ones that are supposed to inform the public.
We are the ones who are supposed to make sure that you understand
whats going on. The city is the one whos supposed to bend over
backwards to make sure you understand whats going on.

June 19, 2014 CPC Hearing Tr., p. 51 (Tr. cite 75:3-14).
63. On July 8, 2014, Dallas published the CPC Agenda for July 10, 2014, in which
staff recommends the approval of Crows development plan for the Development.
VI. DECLARATORY JUDGMENT
64. Plaintiff incorporates by reference all the allegations set forth in the
paragraphs above as if fully set forth herein.
65. Pursuant to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code 37.004(a) and Texas
Business Organizations Code 252.007, one or more of Plaintiffs members are
persons whose rights, status, or other legal relations are affected by the
Development zoning ordinance, Dallas Ordinance No. 29019, and Plaintiff may
therefore have the Court determine any question of validity arising under the
ordinance.
66. The interests that Plaintiff seeks to protect through this declaratory
judgment action are germane to its purposes, which are advancement of the
interests of East Village Residents, specifically including but not limited to advocacy
on East Village land use and zoning issues for the benefit of East Village Residents,
and neither the claim asserted nor the relief requested requires the participation of
a member of Plaintiff.
67. One or more of Plaintiffs members also have particularized injury standing
to challenge the validity of Dallas Ordinance No. 29019 because the value of their

PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 14

real property nearby the Development will be suppressed by its use for a 100,000+
square foot merchandise store, and the use will cause a traffic nuisance for Plaintiffs
members.
68. Plaintiff seeks a declaratory judgment that Dallas Ordinance No. 29019 is
void as a matter of law for failure to give sufficient notice of the proposed zoning use
change.
69. Texas law requires that notice of a public hearing on a proposed zoning
change must be sent to each owner of real property within 200 feet of the property
subject to the zoning change. Tex. Local Govt Code Ann. 211.007(c). The Dallas
Development Code expands this notice requirement to owners of real property
within 500 feet when the zoning change is for a PD. See Dal. Dev. Code 51A-
4.701(b)(5), 51A-1.105(a)(4).
70. Although 211.007(c) does not specify what content is required in the notice,
Texas precedent requires that the notice inform residents of the specific zoning use
change proposed so that residents may oppose the change if they desire. Failure to
provide notice of the specific, material zoning use change proposed renders the
resulting zoning ordinance void from the start. See Amarillo v. Wagner, 326 S.W.2d
863, 864-66 (Tex. App.--Amarillo 1959, writ ref'd n.r.e.) (finding zoning amendment
void where it attempted to permit F-Retail use but notice only advised residents of
C-Dwelling use); see also Midway Protective League v. Dallas, 552 S.W.2d 170, 175
(Tex. App.Texarkana 1977, writ refd n.r.e.) (explaining that notice is deficient
where zoning ordinance substantially deviates from the notice, so as not to afford
recipient an opportunity to oppose the measure if he desires).
71. This principle of Texas law accords with Dallas City Attorney opinion and
City Council Resolution guidance on this issue. See Aug. 23, 1988 Memorandum from
Dallas City Attorney to Councilmember Lori Palmer, p. 133 ([a] new notice and
hearing will be necessary where changes in the [zoning] proposal are of such

PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 15

importance or materiality as to amount to a change in its fundamental character.);
March 26, 1986 City Council Resolution No. 86100, p. 135 (same).
72. 100,000+ square foot merchandise store use is fundamentally and materially
different than MU-3 use alone. As explained above, 100,000+ square foot
merchandise stores pose inherent threats to public health, safety, and the general
welfare of the surrounding area. As such, MU-3 does not permit 100,000+ square
foot merchandise stores without a Specific Use Permit. Dal. Dev. Code 51A-
4.210(b)(14.1)(B).
73. A Specific Use Permit ("SUP") is required for highly sensitive zoning changes.
An applicant for an SUP shall comply with the zoning amendment procedure for a
change in zoning district classification. Dal. Dev. Code 51A-4219(b)(1).
74. The SUP section of the Dallas Development Code specifically provides:
(2) The SUP requirement for a use in a district does not constitute an
authorization or an assurance that the use will be permitted. Each SUP
application must be evaluated as to its probable effect on the adjacent
property and the community welfare and may be approved or denied
as the findings indicate appropriate. Each SUP must be granted by the
city council by separate ordinance.

(3) The city council shall not grant an SUP for a use except upon a
finding that the use will:
(A) complement or be compatible with the surrounding uses
and community facilities;
(B) contribute to, enhance, or promote the welfare of the area
of request and adjacent properties;
(C) not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or general
welfare; and
(D) conform in all other respects to all zoning regulations and
standards.

Dal. Dev. Code 51A-4.219(a) (emphasis added).
75. This means that even though the MU-3 provision of the Dallas Development
Code lists as a possible retail and personal service use "General merchandise or food
store 100,000 square feet or more. [SUP]," the mere listing of this use "does not

PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 16

constitute an authorization or assurance that the use will be permitted." Dal. Dev.
Code 51A-4.125(f)(2)(J); 51A-4.219(a)(2). To the contrary, the use is disallowed
unless the applicant seeks and the City Council grants an SUP.
76. For these reasons, when Dallas passes PDs that allow 100,000+ square feet
merchandise stores in zoning that requires an SUP for that use, the notices
specifically list that use. For example, the notice for PD 876 provides that the
proposed PD will be for "CR Community Retail District Uses" and specifies that
"[t]he applicant proposes to construct a general merchandise or food store greater
than 100,000 square feet." Dec. 12, 2012 Notice of Public Hearing on Zoning Change
Request, p. 138.
77. Here, by contrast, the notice for PD 889 provided only that the PD would be
"for MU-3 Mixed Use District uses." May 2, 2013 CPC Notice, p. 67; May 22, 2013 CC
Notice, p. 73. The notice did not mention that the essential zoning use change would
be to allow a 100,000+ square foot merchandise store, and the resulting Ordinance
No. 29019 is therefore void as a matter of law.
78. Because the current zoning for the Development is void, the applicable
zoning reverts to the previous zoning. Before Ordinance No. 29019, the
Development was zoned in three parcels as MU-3 (SAH), GO(A), and PD 305 East
Mixed Use (the "Pre-Existing Zoning"). See May 22, 2013 City Council Briefing, p. 99.
79. None of these three zoning uses permit 100,000+ square foot merchandise
stores without an SUP. See Dal. Dev. Code 51A-4.210(b)(14.1)(B) (100,000+
square foot merchandise stores generally); 51A-4.125(f)(2)(J) (MU-3 (SAH)); 51A-
4.121(d)(2)(J); 51P-305.107(b)(1)(A) (PD 305 East Mixed Use same as MU-3).
VII. REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
80. Plaintiff incorporates by reference all of the allegations set forth in the
paragraphs above.

PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 17

81. As set forth in detail above, Plaintiff has established a probable right to the
relief they seek upon final hearing. The current zoning for the Development is void
and has no force or effect because the notice of zoning use change did not disclose
that the change would permit a 100,000+ square foot merchandise store.
82. Dallas city staff has already recommended that the CPC approve the
development plan allowing a 100,000+ square foot merchandise store, and city staff
and Commissioners' statements at the June 19, 2014 hearing confirm that the CPC
will be forced to approve the development plan without court intervention. See June
19, 2014 CPC Tr., p. 48, 26 (Tr. cites 63:14-23, 7:6-11) ("the notification question is a
legal issue that is to be decided not by the planning commission. We don't have the
authority to make that decision. That's a decision that is made by a court of law if
that is what - - what remedy someone seeks."). Members of Plaintiff will suffer
immediate irreparable injury from this approval because the Development will be
permitted to proceed. As counsel for Crow stated, We cannot wait. We wont wait.
We have contractual obligations to move forward. See id., p. 42 (Tr. cite 41:7-8).
83. Plaintiff lacks an adequate remedy at law for damages that will likely accrue
absent the requested injunctive relief. Because Ordinance No. 29019 is void and the
Pre-Existing Zoning applies, CPC approval of Crows development plan would be
ultra vires. Plaintiff is entitled only to prospective injunctive relief for such ultra
vires conduct, and if the Court does not intervene to stop CPC approval, sovereign
immunity will preclude Plaintiff from retroactive recovery. See City of El Paso v.
Heinrich, 284 S.W.3d 366, 375-77 (Tex. 2009).
84. Moreover, the full extent of the damages, which will continue to be suffered
by Plaintiffs members as a result of the conduct set forth herein, including
deprivation of procedural due process, deprivation of statutory notice rights, traffic
nuisance, and suppressed property value, are difficult if not impossible to assess
fully.

PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 18

85. Accordingly, Plaintiff is entitled to injunctive relief to prevent this harm
pursuant to Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code Chapters 37 and 65.
86. Therefore, Plaintiff respectfully seeks a temporary restraining order and
temporary and permanent injunction prohibiting Dallas and the CPC from:
approving any development plan for the Development that does not conform to the
Pre-Existing Zoning and from any conduct with regard to the Development
inconsistent with the permitted uses under the Pre-Existing Zoning until such time
as the zoning for the Development is modified through proper procedure, including
proper notice.
87. Pursuant to Rule 684, because Plaintiff seeks a temporary restraining order
and temporary injunction against Dallas and the CPC in their governmental capacity,
and because Dallas and the CPC have no pecuniary interest in the suit and no
monetary damages can be shown, Plaintiff requests that the Court fix the bond at a
nominal amount. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 684.
88. Attached to this Petition at p. 139-144 are the Affidavits of Plaintiffs officer
Jonas Park and Plaintiffs member David Shaw, which verify the fact allegations set
forth in this Original Petition as necessary to support the issuance of a Temporary
Restraining Order.
VIII. REQUEST FOR SHOW CAUSE ORDER
89. The allegations above provide good cause for the Court to issue a Show Cause
order scheduling a prompt hearing on Plaintiffs' request for a temporary injunction.
Therefore, Plaintiff requests, for good cause shown, the Court to issue a Show Cause
order setting Plaintiffs request for temporary injunction for prompt hearing.


PLAINTIFFS ORIGINAL PETITIONPAGE 19

IX. MOTION FOR EXPEDITED DISCOVERY
90. Plaintiff incorporates by reference all of the allegations set forth in the
paragraphs above.
91. The amount of time to respond to discovery must be shortened to permit
Plaintiff to establish the full extent of the material difference between the originally
proposed and noticed MU-3 zoning change and the 100,000+ square foot
merchandise store use permitted under Dallas Ordinance No. 29019, which will help
ensure that Plaintiff may timely seek a temporary injunction that fully addresses
this issue. Because such temporary injunction hearing on Plaintiffs application for
temporary injunction will be set, at least as an initial matter, within 14 days from
the Courts entry of any temporary restraining order, an emergency necessitating
acceleration of discovery requests exists.
92. Therefore, Plaintiff requests, for good cause shown, that the Court require
that Defendants Dallas and the CPC serve responses to the written discovery,
including the production of any responsive documents, within five calendar days of
service or actual notice (including weekends) in such a manner that they are
received by Plaintiffs counsel on the same day. In order to facilitate this expedited
discovery, Plaintiff requests that the Court narrow the scope of relevant discovery to
the relief sought in this Original Petition and the issues to be presented at the
temporary injunction hearing.
X. CONCLUSION
Wherefore, premises considered, Plaintiff East Village Association
respectfully prays that Defendants be cited to appear and answer herein, and that
Dallas and the CPC be preliminarily and permanently enjoined as described in detail
above, and that the Court should award Plaintiff all such and further relief to which
it may show itself to be justly entitled.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The 26.754-acre request site is developed with multi-story office buildings with
surface parking; the northeastern portion of the site is undeveloped.

While the applicant intends to redevelop a 16.158-acre portion of the request
site with retail uses, the proposed planned development district allows for a mix
of uses, including multifamily residential, with design standards.

The applicant intends for the existing buildings to remain on a 10.596-acre
portion of the request site and to be utilized as a data center.

The applicant proposes to define "data center" within the proposed new
subdistrict in PDD No. 305 as a facility whose primary service is data processing
and is used to house computer systems and associated components, such as
telecommunications and storage systems, including but not limited to web
hosting organizations and internet service organizations.

The request site is surrounded by multifamily and single family residential to the
northeast; warehouse uses, retail and multifamily residential to the southeast;
office to the southwest and multifamily residential to the northwest (across
Central Expressway).

Zoning History:

1. Z112-150: On May 23, 2012, the City Council approved an amendment to
Tract I of Planned Development District No. 375 for mixed uses.

2. Z101-319: On December 14, 2012, the City Council approved a WMU-8
Walkable Urban Mixed Use 8 District.

3. Z089-135: On October 14, 2009, the City Council approved the creation of two
tracts within Planned Development District No. 183 for MU-3 Mixed
Use District uses.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

Comprehensive Plan:

The subject site is identified as being within an Urban Mixed Use Building Block on the
forwardDallas! Vision Illustration, adopted J une 2006. The Urban Mixed-Use Building
Block incorporates a vibrant mix of residential and employment uses at a lower density
than the Downtown Building Block. These areas are typically near Downtown, along the
Trinity River or near major transit centers. Examples include Uptown, the City
Place/West Village area, Stemmons Design District, Cedars and Deep Ellum. Urban
Mixed-Use Building Blocks provide residents with a vibrant blend of opportunities to live,
work, shop and play within a closely defined area. Buildings range from high-rise
residential or midrise commercial towers to townhomes and small corner shops. Good
access to transit is a critical element. Similar to Downtown, the Urban Mixed-Use
Building Blocks offer employment and housing options and are important economic
growth areas for businesses. People on foot or bike can enjoy interesting storefronts at
ground level with benches, public art, on-street parking and wide sidewalks, creating an
appealing streetscape. Large parking areas and other auto-oriented land uses are
typically located at the edges.

The applicants request is consistent with the forwardDallas! Vision and further complies
with the following goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

GOAL 1.2 PROMOTE DESIRED DEVELOPMENT

Policy 1.2.1 Use Vision Building Blocks as a general guide for desired
development patterns.

URBAN DESIGN ELEMENT

GOAL 5.1: PROMOTE A SENSE OF PLACE, SAFETY AND WALKABILITY
Policy 5.1.1 Promote pedestrian-friendly streetscapes.

Policy 5.1.3 Encourage complementary building height, scale, design and
character.

GOAL 5.3 ESTABLISHING WALK-TO CONVENIENCE

Policy 5.3.1 Encourage a balance of land uses within walking distance of each
other.

Land Use Compatibility:

The 26.754-acre request site is developed with multi-story office buildings with surface
parking; the northeastern portion of the site is undeveloped. A Planned Development
District is proposed on a 16.158-acre portion of the request site to accommodate a
retail development with design standards. A new subdistrict within PDD No. 305 is
proposed on a 10.596-acre portion of the request site to create a data center use and
associated parking ratio. This will allow existing office buildings to be utilized for that
purpose.

While the applicant intends to redevelop the 16.158-acre portion of the request site
with retail uses, the proposed planned development district allows for a mix of uses,
including multifamily residential, with design standards. To promote compatibility with
surrounding development, the applicant proposes to prohibit certain uses.

The proposed design standards are intended to ensure that continuous faades are
compatible with the surrounding area and to mitigate the potential negative impact of
continuous facades, while allowing creativity, flexibility, and variety in design. The
proposed design standards mirror the requirements of 51A-4.605 but would apply to all
non-residential uses, not just those that exceed 100,000 square feet of floor area. In
addition, the applicant proposes a few enhancements such as requiring three, rather
than two, design elements for rear faade walls. Proposed conditions also require the
primary and side facade walls to have a minimum of 75 percent brick, stone, or
simulated brick, stucco or stone materials (inclusive of fenestration) and limit textured
painted tilt-up concrete panels to no more than 25 percent of the area of the primary
facade wall and no more than 50 percent of the side facade walls.

The applicant intends for the existing buildings to remain on the 10.596-acre portion of
the request site and to be utilized as a data center. As proposed, a "data center" is
defined as in PDD No. 305 as a facility whose primary service is data processing and is
used to house computer systems and associated components, such as
telecommunications and storage systems, including but not limited to web hosting
organizations and internet service organizations.

The request site is surrounded by multifamily and single family residential to the
northeast; warehouse uses, retail and multifamily residential to the southeast; office to
the southwest and multifamily residential to the northwest (across Central Expressway).

To further ensure compatibility with adjacent residential uses and to promote walkability,
the applicant proposes a 20-foot-wide landscape buffer along the Carroll Avenue and
North Central Expressway frontages. Except for signs, no structures or parking are
allowed in this landscape buffer. The buffer must contain large and small trees, a
minimum six-foot-wide pedestrian trail, and benches, trash receptacles and bicycle
parking at a minimum of one per 200 feet of trail frontage and pedestrian lighting at a
minimum of one per 75 feet of trail frontage.

Traffic:

The Engineering Section of the Building Inspection Division of the Department of
Sustainable Development and Construction has reviewed the requested amendment
and determined that it will not significantly impact the surrounding roadway system.

Parking:

Within the new Planned Development District, the applicant proposes off-street parking
requirements pursuant to 51A-4.200 of the Dallas Development Code with the
following exception:

No more than two rows of surface parking are allowed between a structure with
air-conditioned floor area and North Central Expressway if the structure is within
100 feet of North Central Expressway.

Within the new Subdistrict of Planned Development District No. 305, the applicant
proposes an off-street parking requirement of one space per 2,000 square feet of floor
area for a data center use. For all other uses, the parking and loading requirements of
PDD No. 305, Subdistrict E will apply. Pursuant to the existing provisions, a data center
would be classified as an office use and would require a maximum of one space for
each 366 square feet of floor area.

The applicant provided research performed by the City of Plano as part of a 2010
zoning ordinance amendment to create a data center use. The City of Plano now
requires one space per 1,000 square feet of floor area for the defined data center use.
However, other surrounding cities require parking for data centers according to their
office and warehouse components with parking ratios ranging from 1 space to 300
square feet of floor area to one space per 5,000 square feet of floor area. Staff supports
the applicants proposed parking ration for a data center use.

Landscaping and sidewalks:

Except as provided, landscaping must be provided in accordance with Article X of the
Dallas Development Code. The applicant proposes enhanced streetscape provisions
which require street trees at one tree per each thirty feet of street frontage with
provisions to allow for clustering.

The proposed PDD also includes provisions for parking lot landscaping, as well as for a
20-foot-wide landscape buffer and pedestrian trail with amenities along the Carroll
Avenue and North Central Expressway frontages.

Defendants.

STATE OF TEXAS
COUNTY OF DALLAS
Before me, the undersigned notary, on this day personally appeared Jonas
Park, a person whose identity is known to me, who being by me duly sworn, on his
oath stated as follows:
1. My name is Jonas Park. I am over the age of 21 years, have never been
convicted of a felony, suffer no legal or mental disabilities, and am fully competent
to make this affidavit. The matters in this affidavit are within my personal
knowledge and are true and correct.
2. I am an Officer on the Board of the East Village Association ("EVA"),
authorized by the members to state the matters in this affidavit concerning EVA.
AFFIDAVIT OF JONAS PARK -PAGE 1
PLAI NTI FF' S ORI GI NAL PETI TI ON - PAGE 139
3. EVA is an unincorporated nonprofit association organized under Texas
Business Organizations Code 252.001 et seq.
4. EVA's members include one or more members who reside in and own (and
have resided in and owned continuously since at least January 1, 2013) real
property within 200 feet of property located within Planned Development District
889, located at the Northeast corner of North Central Expressway and North Carroll
Avenue, which Trammell Crow Company, Inc. ("Crow") proposes to develop for a
Sam's Club at the corner of North Central Expressway and Carroll Avenue (the
"Development").
5. The interests EVA seeks to protect through the above-captioned lawsuit are
germane to EVA's purposes, which are advancement of the interests of East Village
Residents, specifically including but not limited to advocacy on East Village land use
and zoning issues for the benefit of East Village Residents.
6. East Village Residents include individuals who own real property and reside
within the following boundaries, including both sides of the following streets: North
Carroll Avenue on the North side, Cabell Drive on the East side, North Haskell
Avenue on the South side, and North Central Expressway on the West side.
7. David Shaw is a member of EVA and has authorized me to disclose that he is
a member of EVA.
8. I own and reside in real property located at 2319 Rusk Court, Dallas, Texas
75204. I also own real properties located at 4331 and 4333 Belmont Avenue, Dallas,
Texas 75204, which I am in the process of converting, in part, into a yoga studio (the
"Yoga Studio").
9. My Yoga Studio is located directly adjacent to the Development.
10. I bought the Yoga Studio on January 9, 2014. At the time that I bought the
Yoga Studio, I did so with the understanding from my realtor, Bill Zemman, that the
AFFIDAVIT OF JONAS PARK-PAGE 2
PLAI NTI FF' S ORI GI NAL PETI TI ON - PAGE 140
Development would be similar in form to the West Village. This understanding was
also partially based on the name of the Developmentthe "East Village."
11. Had I known about Crow's intent to use the Development for a 100,000+
square foot megastore like Sam's Club, I would not have purchased the Yoga Studio.
12. I have serious concerns that Crow's plan to lease part of the Development to
Sam's Club for a 100,000+ square foot megastore will result in a substantial burden
and nuisance upon my use of the Yoga Studio.
13. Specifically, I am concerned that increased traffic flow and smell from the
Sam's Club dumpsters located near the Yoga Studio will substantially burden the use
and enjoyment of my Yoga Studio for me and my clients.
14. I am also concerned that increased traffic flow surrounding the Development
will significantly burden my daily transportation needs to and from my home and
my Yoga Studio.
15. Crow has already begun construction work at the Development site, and
counsel for Crow at the June 19, 2014 City Plan Commission hearing indicated that if
the City Plan Commission approves their development plan on July 10, 2014, they
intend to move forward on the Development immediately.
16. Noise and dust from the construction work at the Development site is also a
nuisance for me and the neighbors immediately surrounding the Development site.

Affidavit of David Shaw
STATE O F TEX AS
C O U N TY O F D AL L AS
Before me, the undersigned notary, on this day personally appeared D avid Shaw, a
person whose identity is known to me, who being by me duly sworn, on his oath stated as
follows:
1. My name is D avid Shaw. I am over the age of 21 years, have never been convicted of
a felony, suffer no legal or mental disabilities, and am fully competent to make this affidavit.
I own and reside in real property located at 2714 N . C arroll Avenue, D allas, Texas 75204. I
owned and resided at 2714 N . C arroll Ave. during all of April and May of 2013. The matters
set forth herein are within my personal knowledge and are true and correct.
2. 2714 N . C arroll Ave. is within 200 feet of property located on Planned D evelopment
D istrict 889, located at the N ortheast corner of N orth C entral Expressway and N orth
C arroll Avenue, which Trammell C row C ompany, Inc. ("C row") proposes to develop for a
Sam's C lub at the corner of N orth C entral Expressway and C arroll Avenue (the
"D evelopment").
3. I received notices that the D allas C ity Plan C ommission would hold a public hearing
on May 2, 2013, on a zoning change request to consider an application for a Planned
D evelopment D istrict for MU -3 Mixed U se D istrict uses, and that the D allas C ity C ouncil
would hold a public hearing on May 22, 2013, on a zoning change request to consider an
application for a Planned D evelopment D istrict for MU -3 Mixed U se D istrict uses (the
"N otices").
4. The N otices did not inform me that the nature of the pending zoning change
proposal would include as a permitted use a general merchandise or food store 100,000
square feet or more.
5. I am opposed to the use of the D evelopment for a general merchandise or food store
100,000 square feet or more. I believe this is an inappropriate use for the D evelopment

because this use is inconsistent with the character of the surrounding community, the
increased traffic flow from this use would substantially burden my transportation needs
and pose a safety risk to the nearby schools and L ighthouse for the Blind, and this use
would suppress the value of my property.
6. I could not determine from the N otices that I should be present at the public
hearings on May 2 and May 22, 2013 to oppose the proposed zoning change because the
N otices did not inform me that the proposed zoning change would permit, or that the
applicant intended to develop, a general merchandise or food store 100,000 square feet or
more.
7. O n April 24, 2013, I attended a community meeting held by C row at Alex W. Spence
Talented/Gifted Academy to discuss the D evelopment with the neighbors living around it
(the "Spence Meeting").
8. At the Spence Meeting, C row presented a mixed-use development called the "East
Village," and did not inform me that the D evelopment would include a general merchandise
or food store 100,000 square feet or more.
9. Had I known that the proposed zoning change was intended to permit the
development of a general merchandise or food store 100,000 square feet or more, I would
have attended the May 2 and May 22, 2013 public hearings to oppose the zoning change.
