IN THE WOODS-THE ENCLAVE
The Enclave at Denton is a housing project in Denton, Texas scheduled to be built in 2020. The 270-Unit apartment complex will be built in a Post Oak Tree Conservation Area in the Upland Habitat. A Neighborhood meeting was not required due to the “character” of the area. In its place, a mock presentation was given to the trees that would no longer remain.
The Denton housing authority approved a full property tax exemption in exchange for “affordable housing.” The private developers pledged with no binding agreement. “Mayor Chris Watts estimated the city, county and school district would lose about $950,000 per year with the property off the tax rolls (Denton Record-Chronicle).”
Update: This complex was never built, and the post oaks in this project remain.
