Council Proposal There was presented Council Proposal No. CP -152, dated July 18, 1990, from the
No. CP -152 re City Manager, as follows:
modification of
regulations SUBJECT: MODIFICATION OF REGULATIONS CONCERNING CARPORTS/MORATORIUM ON
concerning carport PROSECUTION OF VIOLATORS
moratorium on
prosecution of PROPOSAL•
violators
It is proposed that the City Council take the following action:
1. Adopt the attached ordinance amending Ordinance No. 10247, Ordinance
No. 10343, and Ordinance No. 10501 so as to:
a. Extend the moratorium on the prosecution of citations issued before
January 10, 1989, for violations of front yard setback and front
yard building line requirements by non -conforming carports; and
b. Extend the moratorium on the issuance of citations for
non -conforming carports constructed before January 10, 1989.
Such moratorium shall be extended until midnight, December 31, 1990,
unless sooner repealed by the City Council.
2. Direct the City Attorney to prepare an Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
containing the provisions outline in Exhibit "A" to permit certain
non -conforming carports which were constructed in front yards before
January 10, 1989, to legally continue to exist.
3. Direct the City staff to schedule the aforesaid Zoning Ordinance
Amendment for public hearing before the Zoning Commission at the
earliest possible date.
BACKGROUND:
Several areas exist in Fort Worth where carports have been added to the front
of single-family residences. Many of these carports violate the front yard
setback and front yard building line requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and
special building lines established on subdivision plats.
On January 10, 1989, the City Council approved Policy Proposal 136 which
asked the Zoning Commission to study the problem and, if appropriate, develop
amendments to setback regulations to permit any such existing carports to
continue and to permit new carports of this type to be built. By a letter
dated May 22, 1989, the Chairman of the Zoning Commission reported to the
City Council that the Commission felt no change needed to be made in the
Zoning Ordinance.
A City Council Carport Committee chaired by Councilman Steve Murrin was
subsequently formed. Several meetings were held but no recommendations were
developed by the Committee. In the meantime, the City Council moratorium on
prosecution of violators and issuance of citations expired on December 31,
1989.
On January 30, 1990, the Council approved Policy Proposal 147 which extended
the moratorium until July 31, 1990, and directed the City Attorney to prepare
an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to permit the construction of new
carports in front yards under certain conditions if approved by the Zoning
Board of Adjustment and to permit certain existing carports to continue. The
proposed ordinance was prepared and referred to the Zoning Commission. On
March 14, 1990, the Zoning Commission held a public hearing and recommended
to City Council that the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance be denied.
On April 10, 1990, the City Council held a public hearing and upheld the
recommendation of the Zoning Commission to deny the amendment.
Since April 10, 1990, City staff has sent notices of violations to the owners
of many non -conforming carports. Investigation indicates that literally
hundreds of such carports exist. Most of them cause no problems and their
removal would cause an economic hardship to the property owners. The present
Policy Proposal asks the Zoning Commission to consider an ordinance which
would grant legal non -conforming status to carports constructed before
January 10, 1989, if the conditions outlined in Exhibit "A" are met.

SUBJECT: HISPANIC SCHOLARSHIP FUND MUSIC FESTIVAL
Manager stating that the Texas Property Tax Code requires that a taxpayer must request
of tax overpayment
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council permit sales of concession items,
advertising of corporate sponsors, and sale of admission tickets at a concert
to benefit Hispanic scholarship funds at Marine Park on Sunday, August 12,
1990, for the adopted fees of $1,500 plus ten percent (10%) of admission fees
to the event, and waive collection of the ten percent (10%) fee on sale of
concession items.
DISCUSSION:
For the last two years Tejanos for Onda Music, Inc., a Texas non-profit
corporation, has successfully presented the North Texas Onda Music Festival
in Marine Park to benefit Hispanic scholarship funds. Tejanos for Onda Music
proposes to sponsor the festival this year at Marine Park on Sunday,
August 12, 1990 from 12:00 noon to 11:00 p.m. Admission fees would not
exceed $5 per person. A portion of the park would be fenced from Thursday,
August 9, through Tuesday, August 14; however, free public access will not be
restricted until the day before the concert.
Concert proceeds would benefit the scholarship funds of the League of United
Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Council 4442, and the Mexican Americans for
College Education Fund.
The sponsors of the concert would pay the adopted fees of $1,500 plus ten
percent (10%) of admission fees, plus adopted fees for use of festival
equipment such as stages and ticket booths. The sponsors would be required
to present a satisfactory plan to the Park and Recreation Director for the
tracking of admission fees for the purpose of assuring payments to the City.
The sponsors have requested that the Park and Recreation Department cosponsor
the event by waiving the ten percent (10%) fee on sales of concession items.
This event is not organized to collect a percentage of sales from the many
volunteer organizations that participate. This requested waiver is
consistent with the recommendations regarding similar festivals at which
concessions are provided by community volunteer organizations.
Use of the site would be subject to the same conditions as similar festivals.
Those include full indemnification for the City of Fort Worth, public
liability insurance, site preservation and maintenance, traffic control,
security, and coordination with City staff of all arrangements for use of the
site including any announcements by corporate sponsors at the park. No large
inflatable displays would be permitted. As previously, the Tejanos for Onda
Music would be required to present a satisfactory plan to prevent consumption
of alcoholic beverages by minors.
