Setting Up a Concrete Batch Plant in Dallas Just Got a Little Harder Than It Used to Be
Josh Leftwich, president and CEO of the Texas Aggregates & Concrete Association, said plants are already limited because they need to be near where things are being built.Last week, the city passed an ordinance introducing restrictions for concrete batch plants in Dallas. Under it, new batch plants will require public hearings before the City Plan Commission and City Council.
"It’s hard to operate a plant and not take into account, too, all the requirements. … If people are doing their jobs correctly under their operating requirements, they will be doing the right thing."Before, permanent batch plants may have been required to go through the specific use process, but, Bazan said, in many areas zoning allows concrete batch plants by right.
Communities with a lot of industrial development have said they feel like they’re playing a game of Whac-A-Mole when trying to stop concrete batch plants and the like from popping up near their neighborhoods. This ordinance makes that game a little easier.
