Some of the major questions that come through our offices pertain to trees and how they are regulated. Trees play a significant part in our day-to-day health and quality of life. Protecting them through construction is essential to helping us sustain a city-wide forest. We invite our friends in construction - and maybe a few others - to join us for our 2nd arborist Lunch-n-Learn and to learn what our codes say about our trees. The seats are limited.

Development Services is pleased to introduce the new Board Administrator and Chief Planner for the City of Dallas Board of Adjustment, Nikki Dunn!

Nikki earned her Bachelor's degree in Public Administration and Community Service from the University of North Texas. She then obtained a Master's degree from the University of Texas at Arlington in Community and Administrative Practice. Nikki has been employed with the City of Dallas since 2017, and has served as a Residential Plans Examiner, a Senior Plans Examiner, and Development Project Coordinator before promoting to her current position.

As the Board Administrator, Nikki is responsible for overseeing the staff and all administrative functions of the Board of Adjustment. When asked what excited her about her new role, Nikki replied, "First and foremost it’s the challenges of stepping into a new position with the unique dual responsibility of simultaneously holding authority and obligation to Development Services and the Board of Adjustment. The often perceived dichotomous unattractiveness of working with two different entities at the same time that are actually analogous will keep me on my toes."

Welcome aboard, Nikki!
