A Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) is a segment of a neighborhood that is designated by the City of Fort Worth to re- ceive incentives to promote affordable housing and economic de- velopment, and improve the quality of social services, education, or public safety provided to residents of the NEZ. NEZs are areas that include high unemployment, poverty, and other distress fac- tors that warrant public intervention to improve the public health, safety, and welfare of residents of the NEZ. A NEZ must promote: o The creation of affordable housing in the zone; 0 An increase in economic development in the zone; 0 An increase in the quality of social services, education, or public safety provided to residents in the zone; or o The rehabilitation of affordable housing in the zone. City of Fort Worth's Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Program Chapter 378 of the Texas Local Government Code outlines Texas' NEZ program, which became effective in May 1999 and enables municipalities to create NEZs. Pursuant to the NEZ legislation, the Fort Worth City Council approved the Policy Statement on the Creation of Local Neighborhood Empowerment Zones and the Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Administrative Procedures in 2000. On April 17, 2001, the City Council approved the designa- tion of the Stop Six Neighborhood as a pilot NEZ. Following the Stop Six pilot designation, the City Council endorsed the designa- tion of priority development areas (urban villages) along commer- cial corridors as NEZs. The City's criteria for NEZ designation includes: • At least 75% of the NEZ is located in a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Develop- ment Block Grant -eligible area or 50% within the "central city".

If more than 6,000 people, the geographic area cannot be larger than 1.5 square miles. • Bounded by clearly defined boundaries (streets, railroads, creeks, or other logical boundaries). • Meet the criteria for a reinvestment zone as described in Sec- tion 313.202 of the Texas Tax Code. • Promote housing and economic development opportunities. • If a proposed NEZ boundary includes an urban village, the ur- ban village must be zoned mixed -use. • Council adoption of a NEZ Strategic Plan. In addition, priority will be given to areas within or which include: 0 Mixed -use growth centers, as defined by the City's Compre- hensive Plan; o Existing Model Blocks or special target areas recognized by the City; 0 A high priority commercial corridor; 0 State or a federal designated enterprise zones; or o U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) eligible areas. Oakland Corners NEZ Location and Eligibility The proposed Oakland Corners NEZ is located in east Fort Worth, approximately two miles east of downtown. The NEZ boundary includes mainly Meadowbrook Drive and View Street to the north, the Union Pacific railroad to the south, Beach Street to the west, and Edgewood to the east. Its size is approximately 688.4 acres (excluding right-of-way). The proposed Oakland Corners NEZ meets the City's eligibility criteria as listed on the chart to the right. The outstanding item is a Council adopted Strategic Plan which is the purpose of this report. • At least 75% of the NEZ is located in Community Development Block Grant -eligible areas or 50% within the central city. • Bounded by clearly de- fined boundaries (streets, railroads, creeks or other logical boundaries). • If more than 6,000 peo- ple, the geographic area cannot be larger than 1.5 square miles. • Meet the criteria for a reinvestment zone as described in Section 313.202 of the Texas Tax Code. • Promote housing and economic development opportunities. • If a proposed NEZ bound- ary includes an urban village, the urban village must be zoned mixed - use. • Council adoption of a NEZ Strategic Plan. • Priority area.

The following are some of the major points. Current Land Use The current land use within the Oakland Corners NEZ is a mix of residential, commercial, retail, institutional, industrial uses, and open space. Single-family homes occupy about 62 percent of the land area at 426.6 acres. Commercial and retail uses are located throughout the NEZ pri- marily along East Lancaster with a concentration of neighborhood serving retail between Ayers and Edgewood. Commercial uses make up 19 percent of the land area at 130.9 acres. Education and non-profit uses including churches are located in and adjacent to the Oakland Corners NEZ. The NEZ includes two Fort Worth ISD elementary schools (Meadowbrook and Saga - more). Two neighborhood parks are located in the NEZ and a large na- ture preserve (Tandy Hills) is located north of the NEZ. Approximately 45 acres of vacant commercial and residential land exist in the NEZ. Industrial uses are concentrated south of East Lancaster adjacent to the Union Pacific rail line at 29.8 acres. Future Land Use The City of Fort Worth's 2008 Comprehensive Plan future land use map indicates single-family residential as the predominant land use within the Oakland Corners NEZ.

Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 6 Less than one percent of the land area is recommended for low or medium density residential. Neighborhood commercial is recommended along East Lancaster Avenue and the major arterial streets that intersect it. General commercial is recommended south of East Lancaster ad- jacent to the Union Pacific rail line and at the northwest corner of the NEZ. Institutional uses are recommended throughout the NEZ and in- dustrial uses are not recommended. Current Zoning Two-family (B) zoning is the predominant zoning category within the NEZ and exists mainly south of East Lancaster Avenue be- tween Collard and Edgewood. Also, a few areas north of East Lancaster are zoned two-family. The two-family zoning is not compatible with the current single-family land use and does not align with the City's Comprehensive Plan future land use map. Rezoning the B zoned property to an appropriate residential zon- ing district is warranted. The commercial zoning is mostly neighborhood commercial, ER and E, and MU-1. The Oakland Corners urban village, which is located along East Lancaster between Ayers and Edgewood, is zoned low intensity mixed -use. MU-1 permits a compatible mix of commercial and residential land uses. Medium industrial zoning is clustered south of East Lancaster ad- jacent to the Union Pacific rail line and light industrial zoning exists throughout the NEZ on a limited number of parcels.

Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 7 Infrastructure Based on the most recent street assessment from the City's Trans- portation & Public Works Department, many of the streets located in the Oakland Corners NEZ were determined to be in excellent or good condition. Some of the streets listed as being in fair or poor condition are scheduled for reconstruction. Based on observation, several of the sidewalks are in need of re- pair or new installation. Curb, gutter, and drainage improvements are needed. Oakland Corners has an inadequate drainage system that frequently results in roadway flooding following heavy rains. Many of the existing infrastructure deficiencies can be addressed with future bond programs or other revenue sources. Publicly -owned and Brownfield Properties Based on Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) data, the City owns a limited number of parcels within the Oakland Corners NEZ, exclud- ing parkland. The largest tract is the previous Stripling and Cox Department Store site, which will be converted to the City's Police crime lab. Approximately fifteen brownfield sites are located within the Oak- land Corners NEZ. The majority of these brownfield sites are lo- cated along East Lancaster and appear to be commercial proper- ties. A brownfield is real property with real or perceived environ- mental contamination that hinder redevelopment.

This percent growth outpaced the citywide average by 6.1 percent. In that same time period, the Oakland Corners NEZ area saw owner - occupied units decrease by 16.3 percent to 1,327 units which is in contrast to the citywide increase of 19.0 percent. Renter -occupied units increased by 25.8 percent to 1,300 units and outpaced the city- wide figure of 12.4 percent. Vacant units in the Oakland Corners NEZ area decreased by 42.3 percent, which was 3.5 percentage points higher than the citywide figure of 38.8 percent. Household size increased by 23.9 percent to 2.90 persons per household between 1990 and 2000, outpacing the citywide figures in absolute and percentage terms. Also, within the Oakland Corners NEZ area, owner -occupied housing units by age of householder approximately matched (or mirrored) the citywide figures, except for the 15 to 24 and 55 to 64 age groups. The younger age group is slightly higher than the citywide percent- age and the older age group is smaller. Race, Ethnicity, Age, Education, Occupations, and Poverty According to the 2000 Census, the minority population percentage is slightly larger in Oakland Corners than for the city as a whole (refer to pie chart on the following page). At the citywide level, Hispanics or Latinos account for 32.7 percent of the population, while they are 39 percent of the population in the Oakland Corners NEZ area. African - Americans make up 17.8 percent of the total citywide population, and 21 percent of the Oakland Corners NEZ population. The White popu- lation at the citywide level is 45.9 percent, which is about 8 percent- age points higher than in the Oakland Corners area.

A slightly higher per- centage of children and persons over 65 reside in Oakland Corners. The percentage of children under 5 is at 9.3 percent compared to the citywide average of 8.4 percent. School -age children between the ages of 5 and 19 account for 23.2 percent of the population compared to 22.8 percent at the citywide level. Adults age 20 to 64 account for the majority of the population in the Oakland Corners NEZ area and the citywide level at 55.5 percent and 59.2 percent, respectively. For the over 65 category, the Oakland Corners NEZ area was about 2.5 percentage points higher than the citywide percentage in 2000. Educational attainment for persons 25 years and over indicates 22.2 percent of persons were without a high school diploma or GED (General Educational Development) in Oakland Corners, which was higher than the citywide percentage of 14.7 percent. Also, approxi- mately 19.4 percent had less than a 9th grade education, which was 6.9 percentage points higher than the citywide figure of 12.5 percent. At the high school graduate or GED level, the 23.2 percent seen in Oakland Corners is similar to the citywide percentage of 24.1 percent. Above the high school level, the educational discrepancy is seen again with the percentages in Oakland Corners lagging behind the citywide percentages. The sharpest contrast is with the college bachelor's de- gree level with approximately 7.8 percent in Oakland Corners com- pared to 15.0 percent at the citywide level. Based on the 2000 Census, a higher percentage of persons residing in the Oakland Corners NEZ held jobs in production, transportation, and material moving (24.4 percent), sales and office (23.4 percent), and service (18.6 percent) occupations. These percentages were slightly higher than the citywide figures and indicates a primarily working class neighborhood. Approximately 18 percent of Oakland Corners residents worked in management, professional, and related occupations compared to 30.2 percent at the citywide level. In 2000, the percentage of families in the Oakland Corners NEZ area with incomes below the poverty level was 15.2 percent.

Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 18 Public Safety Crime Crime Trends — Oakland Corners NEZ Area 3,000 The incidence of Part I crimes reported in the Oakland Corners 2,500 area has remained relatively constant between 2004 to 2007. Part I crimes include murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, bur- 2,000 glary, larceny theft, and auto theft. However, Part II crimes, con- sidered to be less serious than Part I crimes, increased by 38.8 s 1,500 percent between 2004 and 2007. Based on an explanation from the Police Department, the increase in Part II crimes may be attrib- 1,000 utable to a greater Police presence in the area. 500 Code Compliance In 2007, most of the code violations in Oakland Corners were re- lated to vehicles, property maintenance, and substandard build- ings. Vehicle violations include junk vehicles, front or side yard parking, and oversize commercial vehicles. Property maintenance violations include but are not limited to trash and debris. Substandard building violations include vacant and open struc- tures, unlawful occupancies, or owning or controlling a substan- dard residential or commercial structure. Sheds, carports, and swimming pool barriers are part of this category. 0 9,986 12203 9,671 Existing Conditions 2.438 2,450 r 2004 2005 2006 2007 ISO Total Part I Crimes ■ Part 11 Crimes 0 Total Crimes I Source: City of Fort Worth, Police Department, 2008.

Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 19 Transportation and Access The Oakland NEZ area has good access to other parts of Fort Worth and the metropolitan area due to its extensive street network and close proximity to Interstate 30, Interstate 35W, and East Loop 820. East Lancaster Avenue is the major east -west street that transverses the NEZ, providing a direct route to downtown Fort Worth and the cultural district to the west and East Loop 820 and the city of Arling- ton to the east. East Lancaster is a six -lane principal arterial divided by a median. Other major streets in the NEZ include Beach Street and Oakland Boulevard. Beach and Oakland are north -south streets that connect directly to Interstate 30 to the north. Both have four lanes. Based on the most recent data from the City and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), an average of 20,000 cars travel along East Lancaster daily. The NEZ area is served by the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T). A bus transfer center is located in the NEZ on East Lancas- ter Avenue near Oakland Boulevard and several bus stops are lo- cated in the area. Three bus routes operate along East Lancaster including Route 2, which has the highest ridership citywide with over 2,400 daily hoard- ings between I-35W and Handley Drive. Based on the high passen- ger usage and other factors, a bus rapid transit (BRT) system is pro- posed along this section of East Lancaster. A BRT system would enhance bus service efficiency along East Lancaster by utilizing tech- nology treatments such as trafficsignal priority. Other proposed BRT features include aesthetic elements along East Lancaster and the potential for an end of line park -and -ride lot. Currently the project is not funded. The NEZ's southern boundary is the Union Pacific railroad (UPRR). The UPRR line has been identified as a potential future commuter rail line by NCTCOG. Commuter rail along the UPRR line would in- crease access to and from Oakland Corners and provide a direct route in close proximity to the new Dallas Cowboys football stadium in Arlington.

The housing stock south of East Lancaster Avenue is generally wood -frame small homes. The hous- ing stock north of East Lancaster Avenue varies in sizes and exterior facade appearance. Data from the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) lists approximately 1,880 parcels as single-family. The median age of the single-family housing stock is 68 years and the median year built is 1940. Duplexes are located throughout the NEZ in limited quantities. Apart- ments are seen north of East Lancaster near Beach Street. The me- dian year for the duplex and apartments properties is 1947 and1948, respectively. Some of the apartments have a run-down, blighted ap- pearance due to a lack of repairs and maintenance. The housing market data from North Texas Real Estate Information Systems (NTREIS), Inc. indicates 60 single-family houses sold in 2007. The average number of days on the market was 58 days, with a median sales price of $43,750. Sales prices ranged from $16,775 to $162,500. The upper end sales prices are comparable to the city- wide average of $150,615. Homes sold close to five percentage points from the list price at 95.48 percent which was slightly lower than the citywide ratio of 96.35 percent but still indicative of a healthy housing market. NTREIS data for April 2008 lists 33 properties on the market. The average list price is $79,836, which represents an average sales price per square foot of $55.61. The average size of the 33 houses is 1,494 square feet. Duplex sales were flat in 2007, with only one duplex sold. Approximately 118 parcels covering 24.2 acres are listed as residen- tial vacant according to TAD data. These vacant parcels provide op- portunities for quality infill development.

Most are located along East Lancaster and are non - chain establishments. Walgreens and CVS drug stores, Dollar Tree, Pearl Vision, and McDonalds are. some of the chain retailers and res- taurants in the area. In recent years, practically no new development has occurred. The rehab of a storefront for the Dollar Tree is the most significant project in recent years. The perception of many Oakland Corners residents is that the current retail does not meet their needs. Some residents have expressed concerns about businesses that attract outsiders that engage in ille- gal drug activity and loiter in the area. Convenience stores, check - cashing establishments, and the blood plasma center are often cited as problem establishments. Residents would prefer quality neighborhood -serving retail outlets that are locally owned. A coffee shop, grocery store, and book store are a few retailers that stakeholders have expressed an interest in seeing in the Oakland Corners area. In 2001, the City completed a commercial corridors revitalization re- port (Commercial Corridors Revitalization Strategy: Final Report of the Commercial Corridors Task Force), which covered investment challenges faced by older commercial corridors including East Lan- caster. The following excerpts from the report describe challenges for East Lancaster that continue to the present day. • While historically one of the City's premier commercial corridors, time has dramatically transformed what once was a popular shopping location. Physical deterioration and subsequent disin- vestment has created an area that lacks character, is obsolete, and is physically and socially disconnected from the surrounding neighborhoods and downtown. Existing Conditions u IIIIIIIiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIiI_ Walgreens Drug store is one of a handful of chain retailers located in the Oakland Corners NEZ. Ace Cleaners is one of the many locally owned small busi- nesses located in the Oakland Corners NEZ. Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 23 Existing Conditions • The disconnection has occurred in part because market percep- tions of the area have been negatively influenced by the ancillary impacts associated with the concentration of homeless shelters and the social service agencies that cater to the homeless popu- lation that are located on East Lancaster between I-35W and just east of Riverside Drive. As a result, efforts to attract private in- vestment have been hampered and the development climate has declined over past years. • The suburban development pattern on East Lancaster has proven to be obsolete and unable to meet current market de- mand. Characteristics of the suburban form of development seen on East Lancaster include large lot development with large park- ing lots facing the street, lower densities, and limited pedestrian features. Most of the recent development activity in Oakland Corners has been remodels rather than new development according to the City's permit database. Between 2002 and 2007, there were no more than four new developments and fourteen remodels per year. Over that same period, the aggregate value of annual new development ranged from $3,000 to $600,000 per year and the total new square footage added over this five year period was 32,607. Data from TAD indicates the median age of commercial buildings as 48, and $238,283 as their average appraised value in 2007. Data from CoStar Realty Information, Inc. indicates current retail leasing rates range from $4,00 to $15.00 per square foot. For one Class C office space building, the rent is $17.00 per square foot. Although few in number, redevelopment projects have occurred in recent years, including the rehabilitation of a retail storefront and the proposed plans to convert the vacant Stripling & Cox department store building to a public facility that will house the City's Police crime lab.

IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES Land Use and Zoning Transportation and Infrastructure Public Safety Housing Economic Development Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 25 Improvement Strategies The Oakland Corners NEZ is envisioned to include quality housing that matches the neighborhood's existing architectural styles. Within the urban village, the land use is envisioned to include a mix of hous- ing types and neighborhood -supporting commercial uses in a pedes- trian -friendly environment. The scale and density of development will capitalize on the current and future transportation connections, while remaining sensitive to the adjacent neighborhood fabric and architec- tural character. Land Use and Zoning Strategies Based on the 2008 Comprehensive Plan future land use maps, 60 percent of the land area in the NEZ is zoned in classifications that do not conform to the plan. The map on the next page identifies the ar- eas that are zoned inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan future land use maps. The residential area south East Lancaster is predominantly single- family dwelling units, but the current zoning is a combination of two- family (B), multifamily, and commercial —all of which is inconsistent with the existing land use and the City's Comprehensive Plan. To ensure the existing single-family areas remain in future years, rezon- ing to an appropriate zoning district (e.g., A-5) is recommended. The commercial areas that are zoned inconsistent with the Compre- hensive Plan include property that fronts East Lancaster. These properties are zoned a more intensive commercial district than what is recommended in the Comprehensive Plan. The areas that are cur- rently zoned industrial are recommended in the Comprehensive Plan for neighborhood or general commercial. As market trends change to support mixed -use, higher density, and more commercial and retail uses, rezoning these inconsistent proper- ties is recommended. Special attention should be paid to the land that is adjacent to the UPRR. The NCTCOG has identified the UPRR as a potential com- muter rail line. Introducing commuter rail in the NEZ area will result in an increase in land values for those properties that are adjacent to the UPRR. The market would dictate a higher and better use of the Existing Uwa#er Seta or tintimestComi d the rnrereaana: (man& and East Lan:uste,heaue.'

The future land use in the Oakland Corners urban village is envisioned as high density, mixed -use, and pedestrian friendly.

During this market shift, it is recommended to rezone the prop- erties adjacent to the railroad to appropriate zoning districts that would allow higher density, mixed -use, transit -oriented development. Transportation and Infrastructure Strategies The Fort Worth Transportation Authority's proposed BRT and the possible development of commuter rail along the UPRR would en- hance public transportation by providing a more efficient and user- friendly service with increased options for users. Within the Oakland Corners urban village, the following infrastructure improvements as recommended in the village's master plan should be undertaken as resources become available. 0 Install new decorative traffic signal with ADA compliant ramps at the intersection of Oakland Boulevard and East Lancaster. o Perform a drainage study prior to streetscape improvements to determine the capacity of the existing drainage system and to identify needed drainage improvements. o Improve access management by eliminating the head -in parking west of Sargent Street. 0 Undertake sidewalk improvements. o Improve crosswalks along East Lancaster. o Landscape the median on East Lancaster with an irrigated sys- tem, low-level vegetation, and low -maintenance hardscaping treatment to beautify the area and to discourage mid -block cross- ings. Some of the recommendations above may also be appropriate for other areas in the NEZ. Regarding neighborhood street repair and maintenance, the City's current practice of periodically assessing street conditions for repair and maintenance should continue along with identifying funds to undertake the work.

Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 28 Public Safety Strategies Enhanced police presence is recommended to address the crime in the area. Additionally, increased participation from stakeholders, business, and property owners in the City's Code Blue program would help keep more eyes on the street to combat these crimes. Regarding code compliance issues, increased education with resi- dential and business property owners on the City's code require- ments should be undertaken. Housing Strategies Based on recent data from NTREIS, the housing market in Oakland Corners is robust and healthy with an average 58 days on the market and an average ratio of sales to list price at 95.48 percent. Recent TAD data identifies approximately 118 vacant residential par- cels in the Oakland Corners NEZ neighborhood. The robust housing market in Oakland Corners along with available land makes the area well -suited for quality infill housing. New infill housing is recommended to be architecturally compatible with the surrounding neighborhood in accordance with stakeholder desires. Within the urban village, residential units are recommended as part of mixed -use projects. Based on a 2001 economic analysis from the Commercial Corridors Revitalization Strategy report, approximately 48,000 square feet of residential space (60 units each of senior and townhomes housing) could be supported in the village. Based on the recently completed (2007) Oakland Corners Urban Village Master Plan report, the village over time could support over 400,000 square feet of new residential in primarily mixed -use projects. The residen- tial element in these mixed -use projects would be located on the sec- ond and third floors with commercial or retail users on the first floor. Multifamily projects are encouraged in the Oakland Corners Urban Village and appropriate neighborhood commercial along East Lan- caster Avenue. Improvement Strategies The above pictures represent residential architectural styles seen throughout the Oakland Corners NEZ. New infill housing should be compatible with the neighborhood's existing housing stock. Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 29 Economic Development Strategies Within the Oakland Corners NEZ, the primary location for future eco- nomic development projects is the urban village. The urban village is located along East Lancaster between Rand and Ayers. The economic analysis from the 2001 Commercial Corridors Revitali- zation Strategy report indicated approximately 60,000 square feet of retail space (grocery store) and 20,000 square feet of office space could be supported in the Oakland Corners urban village. The re- cently completed Oakland Corners Urban Village Master Plan report indicates over 100,000 square feet of new retail and commercial uses could be supported in the village, primarily within mixed -use build- ings. Both scenarios are considered long-term and would be based on market conditions. The economic analysis of the former report provides an estimate of the value and costs of proposed projects. The analysis indicated a project margin "gap" of $3,800,000. Although this figure is outdated, a development value to cost gap likely still exists for new and reha- bilitation projects in the Oakland Corners urban village. For the com- mercial areas that are located outside the urban village, it is recom- mended that those buildings be rehabilitated in response to market changes. In order to bring new retail and commercial to the village and surrounding area, public assistance may be required. Incentives from the City's NEZ, tax abatement, 380 grant, and other programs can be used to address a project's funding gap. The market analysis data from the 2007 Buxton report, along with data from the forthcoming Social Compact analysis for southeast Fort. Worth, will be helpful in recruiting prospective retailers and commer- cial users to the urban village and NEZ area. Stakeholder -supported project types or uses should be considered in determining which projects would receive NEZ incentives. The fol- lowing page has a list of the stakeholders' most desired project types for Oakland Corners. These project types or uses, along with the uses recommended in the Comprehensive Plan future land use maps, would be supported by stakeholders for NEZ incentives.

The standards will encourage infill development projects to respect the scale and massing of adjacent homes while allowing variations in house types that will contribute to the visual character of the neighborhoods of Oakland Corners. These standards are not intended to replace City zoning requirements or to create economic hardships for Neighborhood Empowerment Zone applicants. Rather, the intent is to ensure that projects receiving NEZ incentives reflect the most positive attributes of existing homes in the area. The photographs on the following pages and the sample house graphic shown in the sketch below depict the key project elements that are required for a new single-family home to receive NEZ benefits in the Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone. New home materials for exterior surfaces shall be consistent with existing homes on the same block. As an alternative, a combination of exterior materials including at least 70% mortared brick may be used. Garages may be integrated into the main structure. Carports shall be, Infill hones shalt co 'adequate lacape material a ' defined to meet or exceed the ie mentsofciy Oidinance promote a heahhhy aluine of wee. landscape materia Garage shall be located at the side or rear of house to reduce prominence of garage aoor rrom street and neighboring homes Front setbacks of infilf ---,.,housing shalt be approximatel• aligned with adjacent units Infill homes shall respect primary gable orientation of the majority of existing Single car garages or tandem garages are encouraged to reduce the extent of paved driveway areas Ifi ritRuRlio Infill homes receiving NEZ benefits shall be a minimum of 1,250 square feet in area. Infill homes shall complement the character of residential neighborhoods in Oakland Corners. Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan • 33 InfiII homes shall have an entry fea- ture such as a porch or stoop that faces the street. Where provided, front porches shall be at least 78 square feet in area. Infill homes shall respect the pri- mary gable orientation of the majority of existing homes on the block. Front Doors shall be visible from the street and at least two windows shalt face the street. For corner lots, at least two windows shall face the side street. Roofs of infill housing units shall be of simple form and have eaves at least 12" wide. Parking shall be to the side of or behind the house. Main entries shall be directly linked to the public sidewalk via a paved walkway (where possible). Design Standards and Guidelines The garage shall be placed at the side or rear of the home to minimize its visibility from the street. Single -car garages or tandem garages are encouraged to reduce the extent of paved driveway areas. Front setbacks of infill housing units shall be approximately the same as other houses along the same block face. Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 34 Design Standards and Guidelines Homes with wide driveways and garages located along the front facade of the home shall not receive NEZ benefits. Carports shall be integrated into the architecture of a structure, such as the above porte cochere. Driveways shall not be more than 12 feet in width from the street to the front facade. Larger parking areas must be located behind the front facade. To meet the standards required by Section 6.507 of the zoning ordi- nance, the use of cement board siding products and stucco are en- couraged when used on appropri- ate housing styles. 4 no J:.airii iliiaa:• ;4ri The style, materials, and color of the fencing shall complement the style, materials, and color of the home. Infill home projects shall contain ade- quate landscape material to meet or exceed the requirements of City ordi- nances and to provide summer • shade, improve home and neighbor- hood values, and help control storm - water runoff. Fencing must allow unobstructed visibility of the front entrance and, in the case of homes on corner Tots, the front and side entrances to promote visual surveillance and aid in crime prevention. Street trees are strongly encouraged with infill housing projects. Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 35 Design Guidelines Intent of Multifamily Guidelines These multifamily design guidelines promote safe, high quality multifamily projects in the Oakland Corners area. The guidelines will encourage multifamily development projects to be attractive, durable, easily maintained structures that contribute to the long-term success and sustainability of the Oakland Corners area. These guidelines are not intended to create strict design requirements or economic hardships for Neighborhood Empowerment Zone applicants. Rather, the intent is to ensure that projects receiving NEZ incentives adhere to good multifamily design principles. Projects within the Oakland Corners urban village will be required to comply with design standards of the MU-1 zoning district. The multifamily layout shown in the sketch below highlights some of the key characteristics that are recommended in the Oakland Corners NEZ Design Guidelines and how they might be applied to multifamily projects in appropriate locations in Oakland Corners. The illustrations and photographs that follow are intended as an examples only, since the guidelines are sufficiently flexible to allow for many design options. Landscaping is required between primary street and pubticwalkway. Building setback should, be 20feet from the principal street except within the Oakland Corners Urban Village, where MU-1 Standards apply. Layout of buildings onthe site should' create community green spaces. New multifamily buildings should be oriented to the primary street; Multifamily homes in single- family areas should respond to surrounding scale and context. Parking areas shouldbe made accessible from side streets. Multifamily housing can be attractive, durable, and safe addi- tions to a neighborhood when the correct design principles are applied. Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 36 New multifamily buildings should address the street. Units/buildings facing the streets should have front porches or stoops, and sidewalks. Access to internal streets and parking areas should be off of side streets rather than primary streets. New development should seek to clearly define the block edge (i.e., building along the block perimeter). Semi -private open spaces / recrea- tional uses should be provided within the development. Gates can be provided to secure common parking areas but fencing around the entire housing development is strongly discouraged. Buildings should use natural materials, such as brick, stone, tile, and terra cotta. Building colors that complement natural materials are encouraged as a primary building color. Design Guidelines Parking areas should be internal to the development or located in the rear (i.e., away from public view). When possible, multifamily homes in single family areas should have context -sensitive scale, massing, and design (i.e. buildings designed to look like large homes). Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 37 Intent of Commercial Guidelines These commercial design guidelines promote safe, high quality commercial projects in the Oakland Corners area. The guidelines will encourage infill commercial development projects to be attractive, durable, easily maintained structures that contribute to the long-term success and sustainability of the Oakland Corners area. These guidelines are not intended to create strict design requirements or economic hardships for Neighborhood Empowerment Zone applicants. Rather, the intent is to ensure that projects receiving NEZ incentives adhere to good commercial design principles. Projects within the Oakland Corners Urban Village will be required to comply with the design standards of the MU-1 zoning district. The commercial buildings shown in the sketch below display some of the key characteristics that are recommended in the Oakland Corners NEZ Design Guidelines and how they might be applied to commercial projects in appropriate locations in Oakland Corners. The sample buildings are intended as an example only, since the guidelines are sufficiently flexible to allow for many design options. Wide sidewalks, shade trees, and awnings encourage pedestrian activity and increase neighborhood vitality. Building facades facing primary streets / and pedestrian areas should have significant variation through placement of windows, doorways, alcoves, and wall plane offsets. Continuous blank wall surfaces are not allowed. Building design should incorporate public plazas and green spaces within the site. Landscaping is required in parking areas to provide shade and improve storm water management. 1 _1 __(��, o� t ' 1`-- "m s-��t ..— _:::-... ��e Parking lots should be located behind buildings rather than fronting primary streets. -tit 11 Street trees and other landscaping in the parkway provide a buffer between autos and pedestrians. Commercial areas should be interesting places to visit while safely accommodating pedestrians, automobiles, and mass transit. Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan - 38 Building facades facing streets should be lined with windows, entries, and openings that provide indoor and outdoor views to the public rights -of -way and sidewalks. Continuous blank wall Buildings on corner lots provide an opportunity for structures that exceed the average height on the block and can serve as anchor points. Building facades should be designed to create a recognizable "base" and "top." Building bases and tops can be created with variations in: building wall thickness; use of special materials; changes in colors and materials on window trim; cornice treatments; roof overhangs with brackets; and use of ornamental building lines. Parking lots and driveways adja- cent to a public street should be screened from the public right-of- way with landscaping, berms, or walls 36 to 42 inches in height. Buildings should use natural materials, such as brick, stone, tile, and terra cotta. Building colors that complement natural materials are encouraged as a primary building color. Design Guidelines Projects should contain adequate landscape material to meet or exceed the requirements of City ordinances and to provide summer shade, improve building values, and help control stormwater runoff. Highly reflective or dark tinted glass should be avoided, particularly on the first two floors. Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 39 Canopies, awnings, arcades, and overhangs are encouraged over window displays and entries along public sidewalks on the ground floor of commercial or mixed -use buildings. Parking lots, driveways, and walkways should be connected with those of neighboring sites to consolidate traffic and minimize conflicts with pedestrian and automobile circulation. i rli ��itul k l`. t d01i.ffi ] l Contrasting accent colors are encouraged for architectural details, awnings, and entrances. Large surface parking lots should be avoided in favor of several smaller parking Tots. Shared parking for such uses as retail, office, entertainment, and housing is strongly encouraged. aRs.Ivai u E`o,TIAES+ Fluorescent, neon, or "dayglo" colors are strongly discouraged as the primary color. Driveways into parking lots should be located on side streets, where feasible. Parking lots and entries should be well lit to enhance pedestrian safety. Security bars on the outside of commercial windows are strongly discouraged. Oakland Corners Neighborhood Empowerment Zone Strategic Plan 40 APPENDIX A. Sources and Resources 42 B.

The Neighborhood Empowerment Zone is a segment of a neighborhood, designated as such by the City of Fort Worth eligibility criteria, that can re- ceive incentives to promote affordable housing and economic development, and improve the quality of social services, education, or public safety pro- vided to residents of the NEZ. What is the Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) Program? The NEZ program is the vehicle by which incentives like building permit fee waivers, release of City liens, and municipal property tax abatements can be granted to homeowners, investor -owners, and developers proposing new construction projects or rehabilitation projects that are located within the NEZ area. How can 1 apply for NEZ incentives? Apply at the Permitting Center Check -in located in City Hall at the south -end lower level. When you apply for a building permit, and if required, a zoning change, staff will assess your project at that time to determine if it is NEZ eligible. If it meets all criteria, you will receive notice that your project has been certified to receive NEZ incentives. How long will it take before I know if I am certified to receive NEZ incen- tives? 5 to 7 days. What are some of the criteria for becoming certified to receive NEZ incen- tives? • The property must be located in a NEZ area. • The proposed rehab must be 30% or more than the TAD improve- ment value of the property. The property must be zoned properly. • The property is a permanent structure, and not a mobile structure. • The owner/developer is not delinquent in paying taxes and does not have any City liens against any property they own. • The owner/developer has not been subject to a Building Standards Commissions' order of Demolition where their property was demol- ished within the last five (5) years. • The property has received City Council support if it is a liquor store or package store. Are there any fees associated with participating in this program? Yes. There is an application fee of $25 for all Basic Incentives excluding tax abatements. The application for residential tax abatements is $100. The application fee for multifamily, commercial, industrial, commu- nity facilities, and mixed -use development projects is one-half of one per- cent (0.5%) of the proposed Project's Capital Investment, with a $200 minimum not to exceed $2,000. If you are approved for tax abatements, City staff will work with you to finalize the tax abatement agreement with the City. What City Departments are involved in this program? • Code Compliance — Release of trash, demolition, weed, and board- up/open structure liens. • Housing and Economic Department — Facilitate designation of new NEZs; recommend changes in NEZ policy; process property tax abatements; and release of some City liens for tax abatement prop- erties. • Planning and Development Department — NEZ plan preparation, NEZ intake and certification; release of development fee waivers; release of some City liens; and community facility agreements. • Water Department — Release of impact fee waivers for water and wastewater. What if I qualify but do not wish to participate in the program? The owner of the property will be required to sign a NEZ Disclaimer ac- knowledging that they were informed about the program but declined to participate. Proof of ownership and a copy of the warranty deed will be required.

No. 3704 01-2009 and ©rd.,.,No..,18425-01 20;09 � ... CONTINUED FROM A PREVIOUS WEEK DATE: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 REFERENCE NO.: G-16408 LOG NAME: 17OAKLAND SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Designating the Oakland Corners Area as a Neighborhood Empowerment Zone; Adopt Ordinance Designating the Oakland Corners Area as Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone No. 36 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Adopt the attached resolution designating the Oakland Corners area as a Neighborhood Empowerment Zone; 2. Hold a public hearing concerning the designation of the Oakland Corners area as Fort Worth Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone No. 36; and 3. Adopt the attached ordinance designating the Oakland Corners area as Fort Worth Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone No. 36 pursuant to the Texas Property Redevelopment and Tax Abatement Act, Tax Code, Chapter 312. DISCUSSION: On April 25, 2000, (M&C G-12897),the City Council approved the Policy Statement on the Creation of Local Neighborhood Empowerment Zone's (NEZ) in accordance with Chapter 378 of the Texas Local Government Code. The City Council also authorized the City Manager to identify neighborhood areas that may be eligible for NEZ designation and to develop administrative procedures for the NEZ Program. The NEZ Administrative Procedures were adopted by the City Council on October 3, 2000, and amended on May 15, 2007, to initiate improved program requirements. The procedures included two methods by which a NEZ may be designated: 1. City Council designation; or 2. A neighborhood sponsor application process. The proposed Oakland Corners area is eligible for NEZ designation. City staff in consultation with the City Council district representative and neighborhood stakeholders have developed a plan according to requirements under the NEZ policy. The plan is attached as Exhibit A. A map of the proposed NEZ is attached as Exhibit B. The boundaries of the proposed NEZ are: • View Street and Meadowbrook Drive on the north; Logname: 17OAKLAND Page 1 of 2 • Beach Street on the west; • Union Pacific Railroad on the south; and • Edgewood Terrace on the east. The proposed Oakland Corners NEZ is 1.36 square miles in size and meets the following designation requirements under the City's NEZ policy: • Promotes the creation of quality affordable housing in the zone; • Will bring about economic development in the zone; • Is 100 percent within the Central City and at least 75 percent of the proposed NEZ area is Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) eligible; • Is considered distressed based on census data on population, socio-demographic and other factors; • Contains the Oakland Corners Urban Village; and • Meets criteria for Reinvestment Zone designation in that the area is reasonably likely as a result of the designation to contribute to the retention or expansion of primary employment or to attract major investment in the zone that would be a benefit to the property and that would contribute to the economic development of the City. On December 9, 2008, the above recommendations were endorsed by City Council through Council Proposal No. 277. The Fort Worth Neighborhood Empowerment Reinvestment Zone (FWNERZ) No. 36 and the Oakland Corners NEZ are located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
