4211 Newton and MF-2: Why This Precedent Matters for Dallas | Part 2

After we released the first video in our 4211 Newton explainer series, outlining the facts of the proposed 21-story tower and how the zoning process works. Today, we’re releasing Video 2 — “What We’re Working Toward.”
This short video explains SOHIP’s position clearly and directly:
- Why MF-2 zoning exists
- What MF-2 allows — and what it protects
- How responsible development fits the scale of our neighborhood
- Why a 240-foot tower in the middle of an MF-2 block is incompatible
- What’s at stake for MF-2 neighborhoods across Dallas
Our stance is simple:
SOHIP welcomes development that follows MF-2 zoning and strengthens our neighborhood. But we are united in opposing projects that disregard it.Build responsibly — or build elsewhere.
