Resolution No. 3384-07 2006
Attachment 1
Evans & Rosedale Planning Project Description
The Evans & Rosedale Urban Village is a 15-acre redevelopment area located
approximately 5 minutes south of Fort Worth s Central Business District (CBD)
and immediately east of the Medical District. It serves as a gateway to Southeast
Fort Worth and the Medical District to the west. Its strategic location makes it a
potential hub of commerce and culture for the region Over 35 000 daytime and
evening residents live within afve-minute drive of the urban village and another
1 000 are expected to consider the area home within the next year
The urban village is linked to the region by a network of highly traveled
transportation routes Two major U S interstate highways link the Evans &
Rosedale area to national markets and other parts of Fort Worth Interstate 30 (I-
30) to the immediate north provides easy access to D/FW Airport, Dallas and
east and west Fort Worth Interstate 35W (I-35W) the NAFTA Highway
provides a direct route to Canada and Mexico as well as to north and south Fort
Worth Over 140 000 cars pass daily along E Rosedale at its adjacent
interchange with I-35W E Rosedale is a major arterial street that connects the
urban village to Fort Worth s Cultural District to the west and the City of Arlington
to the east. This year the Texas Department of Transportation is scheduled to
begin construction to widen E Rosedale to a six-lane boulevard from I-35W to
U S Hwy 287 The portion of E Rosedale that is in the urban village will include
bulb-outs and on-street parking to maintain the pedestrian orientation of the
village The urban village is also served by the Fort Worth Transportation
Authority which offers bus service in and adjacent to the urban village
Background and Revitalization Activities
From the early 1900s to the (ate 1960s the Evans & Rosedale area was a
vibrant business district that primarily served Fort Worth s African American
community The business district included commercial retail entertainment,
institutional and residential uses Due to a myriad of factors including
disinvestment, the business district declined and by the late 1970s only a small
number of active businesses remained
In recent years the City of Fort Worth in partnership with community nonprofits
and residents have invested funding and time to revitalize the Evans & Rosedale
area in accord with the community's vision for a sustainable mixed-use
pedestrian oriented business and cultural district.
in 2004 the City of Fort Worth completed a new streetscape along Evans
Avenue from Rosedale Street to Terrell Avenue The new streetscape includes a
public plaza and sidewalk improvements that incorporate historic elements
placed on bronze granite and limestone plaques that celebrate the
achievements of members of Fort Worth's African American community On-
street parking is available in order to provide convenience for automobile visitors
Resolution No. 3384-07 2006
Attachment 1
Evans & Rosedale Planning Project Description
Trees have been planted along the sidewalk to provide shade and landscaping
benches are placed along the sidewalk to provide sitting areas for pedestrians
and decorative street lighting is placed at intervals for safety
Also in 2004 the City commissioned a consultant team to develop a master plan
for the urban village and the surrounding neighborhood The master plan
outlines a set of activities intended to create amixed-use pedestrian oriented
business and cultural district that celebrates the African American heritage of
Fort Worth including neighborhood-serving retail businesses office
development, and new residential development. The master plan was adopted
by the Fort Worth City Council in October 2004
In addition the following activities have provided a foundation for achieving a
successful urban redevelopment project. In 2002 the urban village was rezoned
to aloes-intensity mixed-use zoning category MU-1 The MU-1 zoning category
allows compatible residential office and retail development, and will help create
a vibrant, compact, mixed-use district. In order to control the real estate the City
has assembled over 10 acres of land and has performed environmental
assessments for each parcel and remediation where needed The urban village
is located in the City's Southside Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District, which is
a source of revenue for various public improvements that the TIF Board deems
necessary to bring about the renaissance of the urban village and adjacent
residential areas Additionally two City of Fort Worth public facilities are planned
in the urban village - a 30 000 square foot public health facility and a 10 000
square foot branch library The new branch library will be adjoined to a historic
building Most recently the City of Fort Worth has begun seeking a master
developer to oversee the redevelopment activities in the urban village and to
market the village to private investors
Housing
Within aone-mile radius of the urban village approximately 8~ percent of the
housing stock was built prior to 1970 Since 1970 this area experienced low
production of new and rehabbed housing as well as demolition of substandard
housing These trends have negatively affected net housing absorption in the
area Also within this one-mile radius approximately 93 percent of the
residential units are valued at less than $80 000 and the home ownership rate is
approximately 52 percent.
In order for the Evans & Rosedale area to capture a share of the demand for
central city housing that is now occurring in the CBD and the Medical District,
new and rehabilitated housing must appeal to consumers in both aesthetic and
sustainable terms

Resolution No. 3384-07 2006
Attachment 1
Evans & Rosedale Planning Project Description
Proposed Sustainable Development Plan
In partnership with the Near Southeast Community Development Corporation
(CDC) a nonprofit experienced in housing rehab and new development in the
Evans & Rosedale area the City of Fort Worth proposes a sustainable
development plan for the Evans & Rosedale area The health and vitality of the
residential district adjacent to the urban village complements and supports the
vibrancy of the village and also fulfills the community's directive that the overall
redevelopment be sustainable in the long term Therefore the urban village and
a five block residential area immediately adjacent to the urban village on the east
provide the optimal area for the sustainable development plan This is due in
part to the public and private investments anticipated in the near future in the
urban village the infrastructure and other public improvements that were recently
added to the area as part of the new streetscape and emerging interest in
residential redevelopment of the adjacent neighborhood The sustainable
development target area is bounded by' Leuda Street and Terrell Street to the
north Rosedale Street to the south I-35W to the west and New York Avenue to
the east.
The sustainable development plan consists of two elements
Housing Market Assessment: In order to determine the types of housing
products that would be supported by private investment, a detailed market
assessment is needed for the Evans & Rosedale area The market
assessment will identify residential product types that satisfy market demand
in the area the depth of that market demand and how best to attract potential
residents to the area This assessment and supporting collateral material
would be used to support investment decisions from prospective investors
and developers
2 Urban Design Standards In order to manage and protect the value of the
early investments made in the urban village and the adjacent residential
neighborhood there must be in place early on a plan for stewardship of the
physical environment. Urban design standards will help in the control of the
physical appearance and other aspects of new and rehabbed development.
The design standards will address both new and rehabbed commercial and
residential development along with guidelines for landscape signage and
other areas in the target area
The proposed activities above would continue the redevelopment activities in the
urban village and spur investment in the adjacent residential area by leveraging
private investment.

Resolution No. 3384-07 2006
NCTCOG Sustainable Development Call for Projects
Required Lead Public Sponsor Decision Regarding Project Start Date
The impact of the staging group on project timing is dependent on a local choice between two options.
Option 1 Standard Practice Option means the project waits until funds for the project are in a North
Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) account. Option 2, Local Float Option means the
project begins after NCTCOG signs a contract with a local agency providing RTC Local Funds to
NCTCOG and the local project sponsor (public or private) 'floats the project until NCTCOG receives
payment of RTC Local Funds to a NCTCOG account. A required element of the Governing Body
Resolution is the lead public sponsor decision to select Option 1 or Option 2. In either case
transportation improvements cannot be reimbursed prior to the assigned `project staging" date
OR
Option 1
'Standard Practice Option
Lead public sponsor uses the assigned `project
staging" date as a start date for the project,
pending the receipt of a Notice to Proceed.
If RTC Local Funds are not available due to a
default of local funds being paid to NCTCOG
the project may be switched to federal funding
This default situation would require a new
contract with TxDOT and may result in a delay
in the project.
For example this default situation would occur if
a NCTCOG member local government with a
contract with NCTCOG to make payment of
RTC Local Funds to NCTCOG is in violation of
their contract with NCTCOG
Option 2
`Local Float Option
Lead public sponsor uses the assigned `project
staging" date as a date for reimbursement only
and begins the project on a locally set time
schedule that begins after a project agreement
is signed with NCTCOG
Staff is authorized to develop interlocal
agreements with RTC Local Funds that allow
immediate construction with reimbursement to
the lead public sponsor contingent upon the
receipt of RTC Local Funds by NCTCOG
Please note NCTCOG will not sign Sustainable
Development Project interlocal agreements until
NCTCOG signs agreement(s) to receive RTC
Local Funds. If a lead public sponsor selects
this option choosing to move forward and
complete their project prior to the assigned
reimbursement date the lead public sponsor
will be at risk" with regard to the default of local
funds being paid to NCTCOG This option may
preclude switching to Federal Funds in the
event that RTC Local Funds are unavailable
For example this default situation would occur if
a NCTCOG member local government with a
contract with NCTCOG to make payment of
RTC Local Funds to NCTCOG is in violation of
their contract with NCTCOG
