The Denison Planning and Zoning Commission is set to consider a large mixed‑use project that would reshape roughly 96 acres of land on the west side of U.S. 75, just north of the Oklahoma border. The agenda packet posted by the city shows the request will be heard at the commission’s regular meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 10 a.m. in the council chambers of City Hall, 300 W. Main St. After the commission’s recommendation, the proposal will move to the City Council for final approval.

Project overview

Developer Bob Landon proposes a planned development district called “Landon Winery.” The parcel, located at 6845 N. Highway 75, is currently zoned Light Industrial and sits within the city’s highway corridor overlay. The concept plan divides the property into five distinct districts:

• Agricultural (≈49 acres): vineyards, orchards, a barn and short‑term cabin rentals, all limited to one‑story structures.
• Single‑family (≈16 acres): residential homes up to three stories.
• Multifamily (≈15 acres): townhomes and mixed‑use buildings with ground‑floor retail and two floors of apartments, allowing up to 50 units per acre.
• Commercial (≈1 acre): space for an event center, chapel, bars, restaurants, shops and a hotel.
• Light industrial (≈1 acre): a winery or distillery with wholesale distribution of alcoholic beverages.

The plan calls for a phased development approach—at least six phases, not necessarily in sequence. As each phase progresses, a trail system would be constructed, and the overall site would retain about three acres of open space. A highway pylon sign, limited to 40 feet in height, would mark the development.

Infrastructure and maintenance

Water and sewer connections for three of the phases would tie into existing city lines at the Denison Travel Information Center. No homeowners’ association or property owners’ association would be created; instead, the developer would assume responsibility for maintaining the trails and any required screening.

Public input and next steps

Residents and interested parties are encouraged to attend the Nov. 10 hearing to voice support, concerns, or questions. The commission’s decision will shape how the project moves forward, and the City Council will ultimately decide whether to adopt the planned development district.

This proposal reflects Denison’s ongoing efforts to attract investment while balancing growth with community amenities. If approved, the development could bring new jobs, tourism opportunities, and housing options to the area, while also preserving a portion of the land for agricultural use and open space.
