*a SUBJECT: PROPOSED COUNCIL-INITIATED ZONING CHANGES FOR
rrn PROPERTIES LOCATED EAST OF THE NORTH FREEWAY (1-35W) AND NORTH
OF THE EAST FREEWAY (1-30) IN COUNCIL DISTRICT 4
The February 16 City Council agenda will contain an M&C to initiate the zoning process for
three groups of properties in the Far North and Eastside sectors of Fort Worth. The purpose
of the proposed zoning changes from multifamily districts to single family districts is to
rezone vacant property in order to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and with the
zoning in the vicinity. For your reference, the attached PowerPoint presentation shows the
future land use in the 2015 Comprehensive Plan, the current zoning, and the proposed
zoning.
Council Member Moon mailed letters to the affected property owners in November 2015. A
representative for JDI Investors, LP has noted their opposition to the proposed rezoning at
8901 N. Beach Street. This owner had previously noted in 2010 a rezoning application
would be submitted to propose an alternative zoning district when the site was in Council
District 2. However, owner-initiated rezoning application has not been received since. The
other individual property owners have not expressed concern to the Council Member to
date. The properties on Boca Raton Boulevard were acquired by the City of Fort Worth in
2007 for repeated code violations in multifamily buildings. The multifamily buildings were
subsequently demolished, but the land was not rezoned at that time. Public hearings for the
rezoning of this property would be held by the Zoning Commission on March 9, 2016, and
by the City Council on April 5, 2016. Staff will submit future Informal Reports for additional
phases of zoning changes requested by Council Member Moon.
If you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Assistant Planning and
Development Director, at 817-392-8018.
