Texas legislators have introduced a bill that could make zoning changes easier. That's after Las Vegas Sands proposed rezoning a mixed-use development in Irving that would have included casino gaming in its destination resort, pending legalization in Texas. The proposal led to considerable blowback from Irving residents and others opposed to casino gambling. Senate Bill 844 was filed on Jan. 17 by Senator Bryan Hughes.

The Irving City Council will vote on a rezoning proposal Thursday that could clear the way for a mixed-use development with a destination resort — which could also include casino gaming, if the state of Texas legalizes gambling. Irving residents have spoken out over the last few weeks — many in opposition to the development — including at this week’s planning and zoning commission hearing, during which the plan got preliminary approval.
