What happened
The Dallas City Council is dealing with multiple issues, including a recall effort against District 13 council member Gay Donnell Willis. This effort follows neighborhood opposition to zoning requests in three locations, including the Preston/Royal tower development. Separately, a council meeting was held where residents were unable to speak about a zoning case due to a motion to deferral by Council Member Willis.

Why it matters
The council's demonstrated procedural failures regarding public testimony and vague guidelines heighten regulatory risk for developers. Furthermore, a separate council meeting failed to secure funding for the maintenance of a building on Marilla Street, despite estimates suggesting at least $1 billion was needed for repairs.
