Here are the top three stories in Dallas today:

1. The Dallas City Council has approved new safety rules for event promoters and venues. The vote was unanimous. Hopefully, the new rules will boost safety for large events within the city. The rules are in response to two mass shooting events that occurred at large events that did not require a permit earlier this year. (The Dallas Morning News)
2. Are you growing increasingly frustrated with online home listings and are seeking an alternative? Patch and Redfin.com have teamed up to create a list of five upcoming in-person open houses occurring in the Dallas area. Click for the full list that includes times, dates, property dimensions, prices, and photos. (Dallas Patch)
3. The Dallas City Council has approved a $31.4 million tax increment financing plan for University Hills. The 270-acre development will be next to the University of North Texas' Dallas campus. There will be hundreds of single-family homes, over a thousand apartments, and plenty of commercial space. The project will be done in phases. (The Dallas Morning News)
