Proposed by Counci lmember C' Ma ,s evi/ewe

PROPOSAL:
It is proposed that the Fort Worth City Council waive the building-related permit fees for the renovations and
adaptive reuse of the Our Lady of Victory building for artists live/work space.
BACKGROUND:
The renovation of the Our Lady of Victory building has been a goal of interested community members and the
historic preservation community in Fort Worth.Ray Boothe,architect for ArtSpace Texas, is coordinating the
interim uses of this building and,ultimately,the permanent conversion to artists' live/work space and performance
facilities.The waiver of fees will include all permit-related fees for the interim uses and all plan review,permit,and
inspection fees for the permanent renovation.These fees are estimated to be approximately S 12,000.This number
may need to be revised as more specific information becomes available.For instance,zoning variances and building
code appeals may be required.A detailed estimate of interim and permanent permits required and related fees is as
follows:
Press and Announcement Party,Tour-Convention for National Trust for Historic Preservation, Several functions
showing model loft apartment,and Sculpture Symposium:
These functions would consist of about 100 people touring the facility and listening to a presentation.This
would occur in a single day and would not entail any prolonged use of the facility for a sit down dinner or
similar use. Given the limited scope of these events,no permits or fees would be required.
Haunted House Fund-raising:
This use requires an$80 ordinance inspection.If the inspection reveals any work that is required prior to
the issuance of a CO for the haunted house,there would be permit charges depending on the type and
scope of work to be done.
Occupancy for a Caretaker.
Permits would be required only for any renovations required prior to occupancy.Cost would be dependent
on the scope of work required for renovations necessary for a residential occupancy.
Rezoning:
Rezoning needs to occur for the use of this building as artist residentiai/work space. Mr. Boothe has also
indicated that performing arts space will be developed,as may a retail art gallery. Depending on the size of
the site to be rezoned,the fees would be S 1000 to S 1500.
