The City of Heath is undertaking a comprehensive rewrite of its Zoning & Subdivision Ordinances to update and modernize the City’s development regulations and ensure they reflect the community’s vision for the future.

The project will help align the City’s ordinances with Heath’s identity as a Premier Outdoor Lifestyle Community, the goals and vision established in the 2025 Comprehensive Plan, and new and updated State regulations. The rewrite will also provide an opportunity to review existing regulations, identify opportunities for improvement, and support responsible growth and development throughout the community.

These updates are heavily focused on maintaining Heath’s rural character by promoting livability, amenities, and high quality of life for current and future residents.

COMMUNITY & STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

Community input is an important part of the ordinance rewrite process. The City will engage residents, property owners, developers, business owners, HOA and neighborhood representatives, and other stakeholders to gather feedback about the existing ordinances and opportunities for improvement. Stakeholder listening sessions will provide an opportunity to:

Learn more about the ordinance rewrite project and its goals

Share experiences and perspectives regarding the existing regulations

Identify challenges, gaps, or opportunities for improvement

Provide ideas and feedback that can help inform recommended updates

STAKEHOLDER LISTENING SESSION

All sessions take place at Heath City Hall – Council Chambers, 200 Laurence Dr., Heath, TX 75032. Additional opportunities for community engagement and project updates will be shared as the ordinance rewrite progresses. Questions or RSVP: Planning & Development Department | 972-961-4878
