About

At its February 10 meeting, the Addison City Council approved a new Planned Development zoning district for Addison Junction, clearing the way for a major mixed-use project adjacent to Addison Circle Park. The rezoning covers roughly 15.5 acres at the southeast corner of Addison Road and Festival Way and the northeast and northwest corners of Quorum Drive and Arapaho Road.

Addison Junction is planned as a $240 million mixed-use district that will include office space, a hotel, restaurants, entertainment venues, and public and private open space. The broader project represents a public-private partnership, with approximately $40 million in Town infrastructure investment and more than $200 million in private development led by Dallas-based Quadrant Investment Properties.

At its February 10 meeting, the Addison City Council voted to call a bond election to be held May 2 for a Police Headquarters facility. The election will ask voters to consider a capital project for the remodel of an existing building or the construction of a new building for an Addison Police facility in an amount not to exceed $55 million.

The action follows several months of review by a 14-member Bond Advisory Committee, comprised of Addison residents appointed by the City Council. The Committee toured comparable facilities across North Texas and met four times between October 2025 and January 2026 to evaluate options for addressing the Town’s aging Police and Courts facility. On January 13, the Committee recommended moving forward with a May 2026 bond election.

Addison’s current Police and Courts facility was built in 1984 and totals approximately 30,000 square feet. The building houses 75 employees from the Police Department and 5 employees from the Municipal Court. Town staff and the Bond Advisory Committee reviewed the facility’s space capacity, maintenance history, security features, and compliance with current ADA, fire, electrical, and storm shelter standards as part of their evaluation.

At its February 10 meeting, the City Council approved Advance Addison 2050, the Town’s updated Comprehensive Plan, marking the culmination of a two-year planning effort that will guide Addison’s growth and evolution for decades to come. The plan replaces the 2013 Comprehensive Plan while maintaining existing special area plans and establishes clear policy direction for land use, housing, transportation, economic development, and community facilities.

This milestone reflects an extensive, community-driven process that included research, public engagement, and strategic visioning. Thank you to the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the many residents and business owners who shared their time and feedback throughout the process. With adoption complete, staff will move into implementation, including the launch of an online tracking tool to ensure transparency and accountability as Advance Addison 2050 moves from vision to action.
