PROPOSAL:
It is proposed that City Council authorize a waiver of all platting, application and permitting fees related to the
construction of the Fort Worth Zoo's Museum of Living Art(MOLA)building.
DISCUSSION:
The Fort Worth Zoo is planning the construction of a new reptile facility, or herpetarium, and restaurant. The
herpetarium's architecture will complement other facilities in the Cultural District.
The MOLA project is planned to be constructed in two phases.
o The first phase will be the construction of a 7,750 sq.ft.restaurant
o The second phase is a 17,000 sq.ft.herpetarium with animal exhibits and holding areas
The land on which the zoo is constructed is city-owned property and the waiver of the application and permitting
fees will assist the zoo in constructing this new facility. This project will provide additional zoo services and
amenities to the citizens of Fort Worth. Furthermore, the MOLA building will contribute to Fort Worth's
architectural integrity. Both of these elements benefit the quality of life for Fort Worth citizens.
In addition, the City will waive the requirement that the property be platted prior to the issuance of building
permits.

The Law Department finds that this proposal is legal and within the authority of the City Council.
