*a SUBJECT: UPDATE OF THE 1-35 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND
r0K?CL GUIDELINES
On February 8, 2011, the Fort Worth City Council adopted the 1-35 Development Standards and
Guidelines. The ordinance represents a grass roots effort by the 35W Coalition to encourage
quality development along the 1-35W corridor extending from the core of Fort Worth into southern
Denton County. Through a series of public meetings, the 35W Coalition created the 1-35
Development Standards and Guidelines to ensure quality new development which enhances the
economic value of all property within the corridor by reflecting a high level of quality construction
and aesthetic character. The Standards and Guidelines are intended to achieve the 35W
Coalition's vision of an economically sustainable corridor.
Every three (3) to five (5) years, staff revisits ordinance language in our design overlays in an
effort to adjust language to address current development trends, market conditions, and improve
clarity. Over the last year, staff has been working with 35W Coalition partners to update the 1-35
Development Standards and Guidelines.
Proposed updates include improvements and clarifications to the following area of the standards
and guidelines:
• Visual guidance for landscaping, parking, tree planting, and setbacks standards
• Landscaping intent and standards
• Parking and tree planting standards and guidelines
• Building and pavement setbacks standards and guidelines
• Plan submittal requirements
The anticipated public hearing schedule for adoption of the new text amendment is as follows:
• Urban Design Commission January 26
• Zoning Commission February 8
• City Council March 7
