Background SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION The Near Southside is located just south of Downtown Fort Worth and is the cites second largest employment center, with over 30,000 workers. Approximately 18,000 of these workers are employed in the health care industry. Although commonly recognized today as the "Medical District," the area has historically been amixed-use district with diverse neighborhoods and eclectic destinations. The area's remaining historic buildings -with their architectural diversity, human-scale design, and wide range of locally-owned businesses -reflect this storied past. Fort Worth South, Inc. (FWSI), anon-profit redevelopment corporation, has worked since 1996 with the City of Fort Worth and other community groups to promote the area's revitalization in a way that builds on this history and capitalizes on the district's eclectic, mixed-use, human-scale character to create a competitive advantage in attracting new residents and businesses. Urban design (i.e., the design of buildings, streets, and other public spaces, and the interrelationships among those elements) will continue to be a major factor in determining the districts economic, social, and cultural sustainability. Promoting the sustainability of neighborhoods and commercial districts is a primary goal for the City of Fort Worth. 1.B. Promoting Revitalization with Form-Based Development Standards As reflected in the City's Comprehensive Plan (which includes the FWSI strategic plan by reference), FWSI and the City have long recognized the importance of urban design in realizing revitalization goals for the Near Southside. As in the past, the district's future character will largely be determined by the individual design decisions made by hundreds of property owners, businesses, and residents over the following decades. The Cit~ls zoning regulations and other development standards play perhaps the most influential role in guiding these decisions, and, as a result, in shaping the Near Southside's character, quality of life, and sustainability. For decades, zoning regulations, street design requirements, and other development standards have worked against urban design and redevelopment goals for the Near Southside and other central city districts. In response, the City adopted new form-based "MU" mixed-use zoning classifications, and, in certain central city areas such as Downtown and Trinity Uptown, created new urban design districts with tailored development standards and guidelines that promote development that is consistent with the contextual design goals for those respective areas. FWSI has worked with property owners to promote desirable redevelopment in two ways: first, through rezonings to the "MU" classifications; and second, through the application of informal design guidelines. Although the effects of these past efforts have been significant, a comprehensive update of the districts development standards -through the creation of a new Near Southside urban design district overseen by the Urban Design Commission - is necessary to promote the district's continued revitalization, for several reasons: • The patchwork of single-use industrial, commercial, and residential zoning districts did not allow or promote a mix of residential, retail, office, and institutional uses as envisioned in the City's Comprehensive Plan, within which the Near Southside is designated as a "mixed-use growth center." • Outdated development standards did not promote the type ofpedestrian-oriented urban design that characterizes the Near Southside's most distinctive and memorable areas and serves as a competitive advantage for the district. • The patchwork of zoning districts threatened redevelopment momentum by failing to create a predictable investment environment in which property owners could confidently invest in redevelopment projects that conformed to the district's vision and be reasonably assured that zoning standards would require compatible development on adjacent properties. - The wide range of conditions within the district -from lower density residential neighborhoods to large institutional campuses - required a more tailored approach than simply applying all of the "MU" standards throughout the area. • Design excellence, administrative flexibility, and timely approval of conforming projects would best be promoted through a development review process overseen by swell-qualified design review board, as demonstrated by the Downtown Urban Design District process. This illustrated document uses photographs and other images in an effort to create auser-friendly manual for use by professional developers as well as non-experts. The standards and guidelines contained are largely based on the form- based standards of the "MU" classifications. Form-based standards differ from conventional zoning standards in their emphasis on shaping the form of buildings and public spaces rather than the segregation of different land uses. 3 (This page intentionally left blank) NEAR SOUTHSIDE DISTRICT SECTION 2. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES 2.A. Intent The Near Southside will become a vibrant, mixed-use, urban district if certain general development principles shape its redevelopment. The following principles serve as the basis for the standards and guidelines contained in this document. Development projects are evaluated with respect to the principles, in addition to the pertinent standards and guidelines. 2.8. General Development Principles 1. Promote apedestrian-oriented urban form. In contrast to conventional zoning standards that place primary emphasis on the regulation of land uses, the Near Southside development standards and guidelines focus on promoting a walkable, urban form of development, consistent with the districts historic urban character. The focus on form promotes buildings that conform to tested urban design principles, and that adapt to changing conditions over time. 2. Maximize connectivity and access. The Near Southside's successful revitalization requires a truly multimodal circulation network in which residents, workers, and visitors may conveniently walk, drive, bike, or ride public transportation to destinations within and outside of the district. Development standards and guidelines are intended to promote walkable blocks and street designs that balance these transportation modes, and also ensure accessibility for all residents and visitors, including those with disabilities. 3. Require excellence in the design of the public realm (building on Fort Worth's history of civic art) and of buildings that front public spaces. The most successful and memorable urban environments are those in which walking down the street is appealing. Streets, plazas, parks, and other public spaces should be comfortable and inviting, and buildings fronting those spaces should be active and visually interesting at the pedestrian level. 4. Promote the preservation and creation of distinctive neighborhoods that provide diverse urban housing options. The vision for the Near Southside places high priority on the creation of mixed-use, mixed-income neighborhoods that include townhouses, apartments, condominiums, and supporting neighborhood-scale businesses. Providing a large number of units and options for various household types and income levels is critical to the district's success. 5. Support existing Near Southside businesses. The Near Southside development standards and guidelines should support the success of existing businesses. 6. Encourage adaptive reuse and support the preservation of historically significant buildings. The Near Southside includes historically significant buildings that should be incorporated into new development projects. The development standards and guidelines are intended to work in conjunction with the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance to encourage preservation and adaptive reuse of significant buildings. 7. Encourage creativity, architectural diversity, and exceptional design. The Near Southside development standards and guidelines promote high quality design, and the development review process promotes flexibility. Standards and guidelines, as well as the development review process, are intended to support creativity and exceptional design while discouraging uniformity. 8. Promote sustainable development that minimizes negative impacts on natural resources. Creating a walkable, mixed-use, high-density, central city district supports sustainable development by providing an alternative to low-density development in peripheral areas. In accordance with sustainable development principles, the Near Southside's buildings, transportation systems, and public spaces should be designed to minimize negative impacts on air and water quality and promote innovation in environmental design. 9. Encourage the integration of public art into public and private development. Public art should be integrated into architecture, streetscapes, and public spaces. Public art will enhance the built environment and contribute to the area's success in attracting new residents and businesses. 5 (This page intentionally left blank) s NEAR SOUTHSIDE DISTRICT 3.A. Intent SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATION The development standards and guidelines included in this document are intended to be clear, concise, and user-friendly. The development review process is intended to be predictable and flexible, and to facilitate the timely approval of conforming projects. 3.B. Relationship to Other Regulatory Documents The Near Southside (NS) Development Standards and Guidelines document is intended to minimize references to other sections of the City's Zoning and Subdivision ordinances. Developers are responsible, however, for reviewing and complying with all pertinent zoning and subdivision standards, including those not directly referenced in this document. There are three notable references to other sections of the Zoning Ordinance: a) the Historic Preservation Ordinance (Chapter 4, Article 5), which includes the procedures and requirements related to the preservation and reuse of historically significant buildings; b) Off-Street Parking and Loading (Chapter 6, Article 2), and c) the Sign Ordinance (Chapter 6, Article 4) and Downtown Sign Standards. The sign ordinance includes basic dimensional standards, and the Downtown standards are applied as design guidelines within the Near Southside district (see Appendix A). All development must comply with all federal, state, county, or city regulations. Historically designated properties must comply with requirements associated with those designations (e.g., Fairmount Historic District properties must comply with that district's design guidelines as well as processes required by the Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission). 3.C. Definition of "Standards" and "Guidelines" Development Standards are objective, measurable regulations, often illustrated through diagrams and sketches, with which all projects must comply. Unless noted as a guideline, all provisions in this document are development standards. If a project of exceptional design is clearly consistent with the General Development Principles but does not conform to a certain development standard, the Urban Design Commission (UDC) may approve a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) that cites the projecfs compliance with those principles. (For projects not conforming to the height and setback regulations listed in the Zoning Ordinance as shown in Section 7, Appendix B, a variance approved by the Board of Adjustment is also required; see Development Review section below.) Development Guidelines are more subjective statements though which the City proposes additional design strategies. The guidelines should be suitable for most projects, and developers should endeavor to ensure that guidelines are followed to the extent possible. City staff and the UDC will work with developers to explore design approaches that maximize conformance with guidelines. The UDC shall not deny a Certificate of Appropriateness solely because a project fails to comply with a guideline. 3.D. Development Review Process 1. PROJECTS SUBJECT TO REVIEW -All private construction projects, with the exception of interior construction or exterior in-kind replacement work, are subject to review by the Planning and Development Department and/or the Urban Design Commission (UDC) for compliance with the NS Standards and Guidelines. All buildings, streets, and public spaces by public entities are also subject to review. 2. ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW VS. UDC REVIEW -Projects that are clearly consistent with all applicable development principles and that clearly conform to all standards may be approved administratively by the Planning and Development Director without UDC review. Because of the unique signage needs of the major hospitals, staff may also approve appropriate hospital signage that deviates from the dimensional standards. The UDC shall review projects that require interpretation or discretionary judgment with respect to the project's compliance with standards and guidelines. The UDC shall also review all proposed drive-through facilities (see Section 5.D.5.). 3. URBAN DESIGN COMMISSION (UDC) -The UDC is anine-member body appointed by the City Council and charged with the administration of urban design districts. As stated above, the UDC shall review projects that require interpretation or discretionary judgment with respect to the project's compliance with standards and guidelines. The Zoning Ordinance specifies that UDC appointees should be knowledgeable about fundamental principles of urban design. Furthermore, at least six of the nine appointees shall be practicing professionals from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, urban design or planning, real estate, or law. The Planning and Development Director serves as staff advisor to the UDC. 7 NEAR SOUTFiSIDE DISTRICT SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATION 3.D. Development Review Process (cont.) 4. CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS -The Planning and Development Director or UDC will issue a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for approved public and private projects. In exceptional cases the UDC may approve a COA if a project is clearly consistent with applicable development principles but does not conform to a certain development standard(s) or guideline(s). The COA for such projects must describe the projects' compliance with applicable principles. 5. REQUIRED INFORMATION -The full list of required materials is included in the Near Southside District application available from the City's Planning and Development Department, 817-392-8000, www.fortworthgov.org/planning. In general, the following information is required, as applicable: a. Site Plan b. Building Plans and Elevations c. Landscape Plan d. Material Specifications e. Plans and Specifications for Proposed Signs f. Description of Proposed Scope of Work g. Photographs of Site and Existing Conditions 6. REVIEW OF PHASED PROJECTS - To minimize review steps for phased development projects, the UDC may approve a COA for all phases provided that the applicant submits drawings that depict the initial phase as well as all future phases. The COA is valid for two years from the date of approval. 7. CONCEPTUAL PHASE DISCUSSIONS -One of the UDC's most important roles is to provide informal guidance to developers of significant projects during the conceptual design phase. These discussions take place during monthly UDC work sessions, and provide an opportunity for early UDC and staff input that should facilitate timely design review and approval of the final design phase. City staff encourages all public and private developers of significant projects to present their conceptual plans during a UDC work session. 8. VARIANCES TO ZONING AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES' PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The UDC is authorized to approve appropriate exceptions to the vast majority of the NS Standards and Guidelines, provided a project complies with applicable development principles. The UDC may allow additional flexibility for projects of exceptional civic or environmental design. Any waiver of basic property development standards related to building heights or setbacks, however, requires a variance approved by the Board of Adjustment. Similarly, vacations of public rights-of-way and any waivers of subdivision requirements require approval by the City Plan Commission. Variances, vacations, and subdivision waivers should be recommended for approval by the UDC. The UDC is authorized to approve exceptions to roadside design standards.

REGULATING PLAN 4.A. Intent and Principles The Near Southside Regulating Plan functions similarly to both the Zoning Ordinance map and the Master Thoroughfare Plan map. The NS Regulating Plan includes maps that depict the boundaries of different types of development zones, as well as maps identifying the location and classification of thoroughfares. These maps serve as a guide for determining which development standards and guidelines apply to a development project. A unified section that classifies both development zones and streets is intended to promote coordination among land use, urban design, and transportation decisions, which is an essential strategy in creating a vibrant, livable, mixed-use district. The following principles guide the content of the Regulating Plan. HOVV TO USE THE REGULATING PLAN DEVELOPMENT ZONES 1. Draw development zone boundaries so as to enhance the character of existing neighborhoods and commercial districts while also promoting compatible higher-density, mixed-use redevelopment in appropriate locations. 2. Draw development zone boundaries to promote a large number of new residential units in order to create a "live, work, play" environment and to support neighborhood retail and other commercial uses. 3. Draw development zone boundaries to support large institutions and businesses that warrant tailored development standards based on their unique operational requirements. HISTORIC PROPERTIES 4. Facilitate the incorporation of historically significant buildings into redevelopment projects by identifying those properties on the Regulating Plan and by referencing the Zoning Ordinance's Historic Preservation Ordinance and applicable incentives. 5. Facilitate the designation of currently unprotected historic properties and their adaptive reuse by identifying the most eligible properties on the Regulating Plan as information on those properties becomes available. CIRCULATION NETWORK AND STREET CLASSIFICATION 6. Preserve the existing urban street grid to maximize street connectivity for vehicles, pedestrians, public transportation, and bicycles. The grid promotes efficient circulation and provides a wide range of mobility options. 7. Limit vacations of existing public rights-of-way, including streets and alleys, only to situations where there is no adverse impact to future circulation and desirable redevelopment, or in cases where such vacations are absolutely necessary for an exceptional redevelopment project that is clearly consistent with the general development principles. 8. Utilize acontext-sensitive street classification system that gives equal consideration to redevelopment and mobility goals. 1.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 5.A. Intent and Principles This section includes standards and guidelines related to the orientation and configuration of streets, public spaces, buildings, sites, and parking facilities. The purpose of these standards and guidelines is to promote high quality, pedestrian-oriented, sustainable development that adapts to changing conditions over time, without dictating architectural style. The following principles provide the basis for the development standards and guidelines. STREETS AND PUBLIC SPACES 1. Design all streets and sidewalks to promote. pedestrian activity and comfort. Sidewalks serve as the Near Southside's most heavily used public spaces. 2. Balance the circulation requirements of automobiles, mass transit vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians in the design of street cross-sections. Utilize context- sensitive design strategies to achieve this balance. 3. Provide designated road space for bicycles, such as striped bike lanes, on roads that would otherwise be uncomfortable or unsafe for less experienced or slow riders. 4. Emphasize attention to detail and quality construction in the design and construction of streets. 5. Use simple but efFective roadside designs to allow easy maintenance. 6. Provide on-street parking in as many areas as possible to support district businesses and to calm traffic speeds. 7. Adhere to time-tested roadside design strategies that create walkable streets, including shade trees and pedestrian lights located along the curb, between the roadway and the walkway. 8. Provide a wide range of public spaces (in addition to comfortable sidewalks), including neighborhood- oriented pocket parks, community gathering places, and recreational facilities. 9. Incorporate elements into public spaces that engage all age groups, including young children and the elderly. _:. _ ~. ,- ';~ ~: ; , 1_ti Magnolia Avenue ,l `. ~ - ~ _ _ ~L~~` r~' .C .i~ 'tis "~ ~~~ -~.1 ~ `c~- ,<w ~ ~ ~ a ,~ -~ y _.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 5.A. Intent and Principles (cont.) SITES AND BUILDINGS 9. Design sites and buildings, and the lower floors of buildings in particular, so that they promote pedestrian activity and provide an active, human-scale, continuous, pedestrian-oriented street edge along public sidewalks. 10. Design buildings and sites that provide visual variety and enhance the Near Southside's overall sense of place. 11. Build distinctive neighborhoods that enhance local identity. 12. Promote building scale that enhances the public realm, and promote new buildings that complement the scale of neighboring structures, particularly adjacent historic buildings. 13. Locate and design surface parking lots, individual garages, and large parking garages so as to reduce their visual impact and/or to create public amenities (e.g., through aesthetic or environmental features). 14. Design and orient buildings on Magnolia, Park Place, West Rosedale, South Main, Pennsylvania, 8th Avenue, and Vickery so as to support the streets' roles as the Near Southside's primary pedestrian-oriented commercial districts. 15. Encourage the use of durable, attractive materials that promote sustainability and the reuse of buildings. 16. Design buildings that reflect the time in which the structures are built, as the districts most treasured historic buildings do. 17. Without dictating architectural style, encourage building facade designs that contribute to an attractive streetscape and skyline. 18. Encourage all civic and publicly sponsored buildings to be of exceptional design quality. 19. Design buildings and sites so as to minimize negative impacts on air and water quality and to promote a sustainable natural environment. ~f ._ - ~ ~ , ~ ~~ ~ ~~~ ~ '~ ~ ~ ~I ~ ~ l' k ~~ t ~ LL ~ € i '` ii( ~t ~ ' ~ ~~. ~ ~ ~ se ~i i'~ ~ } , ( ~ ~ ~~7 ~~ ~ ,{ ~~~ i i J I ~. ~ z ~~ IF ~, -- ~ ~ _ ~ ~ ~ . i ~~ ~ ~ ~ _~ r _ -~ t ~ ~ ' ~ ,,~.~ i ~ .~ ~ ,a ~._~;~ _, ~~ o,,,.~~ ,r The principles support active streets with ground level uses that are oriented to public sidewalks .

Where necessary, spacing exceptions may be made to accommodate mature trees, curb cuts, fire hydrants and other infrastructure elements. 3. Guidelines • Continuity of lighting style throughout a neighborhood is encouraged. • Lights should be durable and easy to maintain or replace. d. Guidelines for other roadside elements 1. Bike racks, trash bins, and seating should be incorporated into streetscape designs on "Main Streets" and other streets with high levels of pedestrian activity. Continuity of style throughout a neighborhood is encouraged. These elements should be durable, cost effective, and easy to maintain. 2. Transit shelters should: • Be located in areas with a high level of pedestrian activity, but shall not impede pedestrian traffic or wheelchair circulation. • Provide comfortable seating and should not use the standard, stand-alone advertising benches seen at many bus stops. • Where feasible, incorporate other streetscape elements, such as water fountains, newspaper boxes, trash bins, and/or signage. • Reflect design excellence and should be designed as more than simple utilitarian fixtures. Creative and timeless designs that complement other streetscape furnishings are encouraged. • Be constructed of durable, attractive, and sustainable materials that are easy to maintain. * If no pedestrian lights or street trees exist on the project's block face, measure from the end of the block to determine spacing. (For trees: begin 40 feet from curb intersection to accommodate public open space easement requirement.) If trees or lights exist, measure from existing trees or lights. PEDESTRIAN LIGHTS Since ifs inception, Fort Worth South, Inc, has worked with developers to install pedestrian lighfs as part of new construction projects, including this development along College Avenue.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES 5.B. Streets and Other Public Spaces (cont.) 4. PUBLIC PARKS AND PLAZAS a. Park Dedication Policy -The City's park dedication policy applies to new residential units. b. Plazas -Plazas are urban public spaces that are more formal than parks and have a higher degree of hard surfaces and pedestrian traffic. Guideline for impervious surface area: Maximum 40 percent. c. Parks -Parks are open spaces that have less hard surface and pedestrian traffic than plazas. Parks typically include both active and passive recreation areas. Guideline for impervious surface area: Maximum 20 percent. d. Hours -Publicly and privately maintained public spaces shall be publicly accessible during daylight hours. Access may be limited at other times. e. Design guidelines -Publicly and privately developed public spaces should conform to the following guidelines, to the extent possible. 1. Design all public spaces other than large recreational parks to be human-scale and visually interesting. 2. Locate and design public spaces so that they are clearly visible and easily accessible. 3. Incorporate space-defining and active edges- such as multi-story facades with ground floor restaurants - but avoid blank walls. Cafes and shops that attract pedestrians are ideal edge uses. 4. Plan for prevailing sun angles and climatic conditions. 5. Avoid locating public spaces on corner lots. Corners are better suited for buildings that establish a strong urban street edge. 6. Avoid sunken plazas and architectural bench arrangements; these often fail to promote use. 7. Provide flexible space for programmed uses, but design such spaces so that they do not appear barren when there is no programming. 8. Incorporate features that attract users, such as fountains, public display areas, or interactive sculpture. 9. Incorporate landscaping to provide natural shade and/or to soften hardscape areas. 5. PUBLIC ART GUIDELINES a. Public art in private projects -Where feasible, developers are encouraged to integrate art into the design process for buildings and public spaces. b. Public art in public projects -Public agencies are encouraged to integrate art in the design of all publicly visible infrastructure, including retaining walls and public spaces. c. Fort Worth Art Commission assistance -The Fort Worth Art Commission may assist with identifying appropriate artists and/or advise on selection processes for projects. PUBLIC SPACES The firefighter boots sculpture at Fire Station #8 was funded through the City's public art program. In addition to art that is integrated into City projects, privately sponsored public art can greatly enhance a development project's appeal and value. 34 The standards and guidelines encourage a variety of public spaces on the Near Southside, ranging from the Type of active urban plaza shown above to more passive and heavily landscaped neighborhood parks. ~i NEAR SOUTHSIDE DISTRICT SECTION 5.

NEAR SOUTHSIDE DISTRICT SECTION 6. PERMITTED LAND USES 6.A. Mix of Use Requirement for Large Developments The following standards are intended to ensure that large projects in mixed-use zoning districts include a mix of uses, or contribute to the creation of a larger mixed-use area. These standards do not apply in "I" zones. 1. CONCEPTUAL LAND USE PLAN -Developers of projects equal to or larger than 3 acres in size shall submit a conceptual land use plan for approval by the Planning Director. The conceptual land use plan must be approved before a building permit application is accepted. The Planning Director may require a conceptual land use plan for a project smaller than 3 acres if it is part of a project larger than 3 acres. The conceptual land use plan shall illustrate the location and calculated land area of land uses on the site, using the following land use categories (see Section 6.C. for detailed list of land uses within these categories; exceptions noted below): • One- ortwo-family residential • Multifamily residential • Industrial and commercial (including medical offices) • Public and civic uses (excluding parks and medical offices) • Mixed-use buildings (must include at least 20% residential and 10% non-residential) • Publicly accessible parks and plazas Parking facilities and private open spaces shall be classified the same as the primary land use they serve. 2. PROJECT TEST -The conceptual land use plan shall be approved if it shows that: a. The project includes uses within at least two of the land use categories, and b. No land use category other than mixed-use buildings occupies greater than 213 of the total land area. If a project does not comply with the project test, then the vicinity test in Section 3. shall apply. VICINITY TEST -Developments not complying with the project test are permitted if: a. The Planning and Development Director determines that the following conditions are satisfied: 1) The proposed land use at any location within the proposed development site must be within a walking distance of 1,000 feet of a different land use, as measured by the shortest pedestrian route, and 2) The percentage of any single land use category other than mixed-use buildings within a 1,000-foot radius of any location within the proposed development site shall not be greater than 2/3 of the total land area within the radius. The proposed development shall be included in the calculation of this percentage. Undeveloped or agricultural property located within the radius shall not be included in the calculation; or b. The Director determines that the developer has demonstrated that unique site conditions (e.g. adjacency to natural features, highways, freight yards, etc.) make compliance with the conditions of section a. above impractical in certain areas of the development site. MIX OF USE TESTS 43 Projects of at least 3 acres must provide a mix of uses that conforms to the `project tesf" requirements of Section 2. or musf contribute to the creation of a larger mixed-use area. City staff conducts a "vicinity test" to make this determination for large single-use projects. I`IEAR SOUTHSIDE DISTRICT SECTION 6. PERMITTED LAND USES 6.8.
