Overview
- The plan clears a major hurdle for a roughly 100,000–127,000 square‑foot H‑E‑B with a parking structure on a 10‑acre site now occupied by early‑1970s office buildings.
- Council approved the zoning change 14–1 after hours of public testimony, paving the way for H‑E‑B’s first official location within Dallas city limits.
- H‑E‑B told reporters it intends to add turn lanes and other upgrades, including a new right‑turn lane from northbound Hillcrest to eastbound LBJ, though no written guarantees have been provided.
- Company representatives estimated about 800 jobs and roughly $24 million in city tax revenue over five years from the proposed store.
- Tenants on the property are relocating after receiving notice, including Foster Kids Charity, which secured new offices but is seeking help to move or repair an inoperable donation truck.
