declared to be consistent with the 2010 Comprehensive
Plan, and except as noted herein, supplants the application
of all provisions of the City of Fort Worth Zoning Ordinance
as it pertained to land within the boundaries of the Camp
Bowie Corridor (hereinafter, "the Corridor") prior to the
effective date of this CBR Code.
1.2 Purpose & Intent
The purpose of the Corridor is to support economic
development and reinvestment along this aging
commercial corridor. East of Alta Mere, the CBR Code
implements specific development nodes with a pedestrian -
oriented mix of uses with convenient access between area
neighborhoods and shopping, employment, housing and
neighborhood retail services. West of Alta Mere, the CBR
Code implements a vision for employment -oriented
development in addition to a mix of light -industrial and art -
oriented uses. The intent is to revitalize Camp Bowie
Boulevard to be an attractive, vibrant commercial corridor
in the community. Therefore, the goals of the CBR Code
are to promote provide a more functional and attractive
community through the use of recognized principles of
urban design and allow property owners flexibility in land
use, while prescribing a higher level of detail in building
design and form.

established in the Illustrative Concept Plan (Appendix B).
The Illustrative Concept Plan shall provide general guidance
to property owners, developers, and the City on the form,
character, and intensity of future development within key
locations along the corridor. Creation of different
Character Zones within the Corridor enables specific site
and locational standards to be enumerated and applied.
Clear graphic standards are provided for location, height,
and building elements. Such standards promote adjacency
predictability, flexibility in land use, walkable mixed -use
development, transitions to existing neighborhoods, and
transportation choice.
II. Components of the CBR Code

functional design. The Regulating Plan classifies all
lots with the Corridor into one of seven Character
Zones.
2.1.2 Street Designations — The Street Designations on the
Regulating Plan include Neighborhood Street,
Boulevard, and Local Street within the Corridor.
2.1.3 Recommended Street and Alley Vacations — The
Recommended Street Vacations indicate where
public rights -of -way may be abandoned for private
development.
2.2 Development Standards: The CBR Code (the text portion
of this Code) enumerates the development standards with
text and graphics for Character Zones, Frontage Types,
building form, landscape, building design, signage, and
lighting.
2.3 Using This Code

located; and,
(ii) the Street Type designation along all its street
frontages.
( 1.3tc.way I'Ianntn Group Inc.
2.3.4 Review the Schedule of Uses by Character Zone as
listed in Table 5.1 to determine allowed uses.
2.3.5 Examine the corresponding zone standards in the
Building Form and Development Standards in

6.1.1 Illustrations and Intent
Note These are provided as illustrations of intent. The illustrations and statements on this
page are advisory only and do not have the power of law. Refer to the standards on the
following pages for the specific Building Form and Development Standards.
The Highway Commercial Zone form and development standards are intended to
address development along the 1-30 access road. Development standards in this
frontage type are intended to take advantage of the visibility along the highway for
more auto -oriented development while transitioning towards a more pedestrian -
oriented frontage along Camp Bowie Boulevard.
Generally, this frontage type may accommodate large -format retail or office sites
with surface parking along the site's highway frontage. The goal is to minimize the
impact of large, surface parking lots and discourage the "big -box" look.
In addition, the site shall be planned in such a manner as to facilitate a more urban
block tnfill development pattern with respect to building pads, parking, driveways,
and service areas.

following pages for the specific Building Form and Development Standards.
The Ridglea Gateway Zone building form and development standards are intended
to address development along Camp Bowie between Horne Street to Bryant Irvin
Road Development standards in this character zone are intended to take
advantage of its location as the gateway to the Camp Bowie corridor west of 1-30.
Generally, this character zone accommodates development on triangular blocks and
odd shaped lots created by the intersection of the traditional city grid with Camp
Bowie Boulevard that runs diagonally through the zone. The goal is to provide for
feasible development options on these blocks with awkward and small parcels by
allowing consolidation of driveways and some street or alley vacations to make
development more feasible within this zone.
In addition, the site shall be planned in such a manner as to facilitate a more urban
block infill development pattern with respect to building pads, parking, driveways,
and service areas.

Ricklea Urban Village Core North Zone
Note: These are provided as illustrations of intent. The illustrations and statements on this
page are advisory only and do not have the power of law. Refer to the standards on the
following pages for the specific Building Form and Development Standards.
The Ridglea Urban Village Core North Zone building form and development
standards are intended to address development along the northern edge of Camp
Bowie between Bryant Irvin Road and Hilldale Road. Development standards in this
character zone are intended to take advantage of its location as the "historic core"
of the Camp Bowie corridor west of 1-30.
Generally, this character zone accommodates development of neighborhood
serving and destination retail. It also reinforces the existing historical character and
architectural elements such as roofs, brick, balconies for new development and
redevelopment. The goal is to encourage neighborhood serving retail, service, and
urban residential at cross streets to connect neighborhoods to the corridor, retain
existing off-street parking and create a street edge with trees along the property
line when parking lots are fronting on the Boulevard. Due to the shallow lots and
blocks along the northern side of Camp Bowie Boulevard, this zone is intended to
be lower in intensity than the Ridglea Urban Village Core South Zone.
In addition, the site shall be planned in such a manner as to accentuate the
intersections with taller buildings that are closer to the street.

Ridglea Urban Village Core South Zone
Note' These are provided as illustrations of intent. The illustrations and statements on this
page are advisory only and do not have the power of law. Refer to the standards on the
following pages for the specific Building Form and Development Standards.
The Ridglea Urban Village Core South Zone building form and development
standards are intended to address development along the south side of Camp
Bowie between Bryant Irvin Road and Hilidale Road. Development standards in this
character zone are intended to take advantage of its location as the "historic core"
of the Camp Bowie corridor west of 1-30. In addition, due to the large blocks and
lots along this side of the Boulevard, this character zone may also accommodate the
highest Intensity of uses.
Generally, this character zone accommodates development of neighborhood
serving and destination retail. Redevelopment in this zone should also reinforce the
historical character and architectural elements within the Ridglea area such as
roofs, brick, balconies, and other features. The goal is to encourage neighborhood
serving retail, service, and urban residential at cross streets to connect
neighborhoods to the corridor, retain existing off-street parking and create a street
edge with trees along the property line when parking lots are fronting on the
Boulevard.
In addition, the site shall be planned in such a manner as to accentuate the
intersections with taller buildings that are closer to the street.
z to 3-story mixed -use within an urban village core. Varying heights, setbacks and architectural
features give these frontages distinct character and allows for an array of uses.

Note These are provided as illustrations of intent. The illustrations and statements on this
page are advisory only and do not have the power of law. Refer to the standards on the
following pages for the specific Building Form and Development Standards.
The Western Business Zone building form and development standards are intended
to address development along Camp Bowie West, between 5. Cherry Road and
Clovis Road/W Normandale Street. Development standards in this district are
intended to take advantage of the large and underutilized parcels with access to
regional connectors.
Generally, this district may accommodate large -format office sites with surface
parking within the interior of the lot/block and screened from public view along
Camp Bowie. The goal is to minimize the impact of large, surface parking lots and
encourage the "office park" look.
In addition, the site shall be planned in such a manner as to facilitate a more urban
block infill development pattern with respect to building pads, parking, driveways,
and service areas, when the market can accommodate it.

Note: These are provided as illustrations of intent. The illustrations and statements on
thrs page are advisory only and do not have the power of law. Refer to the standards
on the following pages for the specific Building Form and Development Standards.
The Transition Zone building form and development standards are intended
to address development between all other character zones and existing
residential areas. Development standards in this district are intended to
appropriately blend the areas between new construction and existing
buildings outside of the character zones.
Generally, this district may accommodate low-rise commercial and urban
residential development. The goal is to have a reasonable buffer between
existing buildings and any higher density new construction.
In addition, the site shall be planned in such a manner as to facilitate
residential scale buildings converted to office and small scale retail uses and
live -work, discouraging paving of side and backyards for parking, allow for
low intensity office and neighborhood services and retail uses, and retain a 1
to 2 story, small neighborhood scale.
The transition commercial to residential is buffered by urban residential apartments and
townhomes.

VIII. Building Design Standards
The Building Design Standards and Guidelines for the Camp Bowie
Boulevard Revitalization Code shall establish a coherent urban
character and encourage enduring and attractive development.
yJteway Planning Cir our Inc
Development plans shall be reviewed by the Planning and
Development Director or designee for compliance with the
standards below.
The key design principles establish essential goals for Camp Bowie
Boulevard to ensure the preservation, sustainability, and visual
quality of different development character areas along the
Corridor. The design of buildings and their relationship to the
street shall depend on the context of the development.
Generally, the corridor becomes less pedestrian oriented further
west from the Ridglea Gateway and the Ridglea Urban Village
Core (North and South). Generally, buildings shall be located and
designed so that they provide visual interest and create
enjoyable, human -scaled spaces. The key design principles are:
a. New buildings shall utilize building elements and details to
achieve a pedestrian -oriented public realm within Ridglea
Urban Village Core (North and South) and Ridglea Gateway
Character Zones, along Neighborhood Streets and at
streets intersections along Camp Bowie Boulevard.
b. Compatibility is not meant to be achieved through
uniformity, but through the use of variations in building
elements to achieve individual building identity.
c. Building facades shall include appropriate architectural
details and ornament to create variety and interest.
d. Open space(s) shall be incorporated to provide usable
public areas integral to the urban environment.
8.1 General to all Character Zones
8.1.1 Building Orientation
(i) Buildings shall be oriented towards
Neighborhood Streets, where the lot has
frontage along a Neighborhood Street. All other
buildings shall be oriented towards the
Boulevard or Civic Spaces. If the lot does not
front a Neighborhood Street or the Boulevard
then it may front a Local Street.
421 i'a,X
City of Fort Worth
CAMP BOWIE BOULEVARD REVITALIZATION CODE
(ii) Primary entrance to buildings shall be located
on the street along which the building is
oriented. At intersections, corner buildings may
have their primary entrances oriented at an
angle to the intersection.
(iii) All primary entrances shall be oriented to the
public sidewalk for ease of pedestrian access.
Secondary and service entrances may be located
from internal parking areas or alleys.

(iv) Garages, carports, or new surface parking for
Residential Buildings shall be located and
accessed from Local Streets or alleys at the rear
of residential buildings.
8.1.2 Building Massing and Scale
(i) Commercial and Mixed -Use buildings shall be
simple, rectilinear forms with flat or low pitched
roofs with parapets.
(ii) Residential Buildings shall have relatively flat
fronts and simple roofs with most building wing
articulations set at the rear of the structure.
Window projections, stoops, porches, balconies,
and similar extensions are exempt from this
standard.

(iii) Gable roofs, if provided for residential buildings,
shall have a minimum pitch of 5:12. When
hipped roofs are used, the minimum pitch shall
be 5:12. Other roof types shall be appropriate
to the architectural style of the building. Porch
roofs may be a minimum pitch of 3:12.
8.1.3 Design of Parking Structures
(i) All frontages of parking structures located on
Neighborhood Streets shall not have parking
uses on the ground floor to a minimum depth of
30 feet along the Neighborhood Street frontage.
(ii) The amount of Neighborhood Street frontage
devoted to a parking structure shall be
minimized by placing the shortest dimension(s)
along the Neighborhood Street edge(s).
(iii) Parking structure facades on all Neighborhood
Streets and the Boulevard shall be designed
with both vertical (facade rhythm of 20 feet to
30 feet) and horizontal (aligning with horizontal
elements along the block) articulation.
(iv) Where above ground structured parking is
located at the perimeter of a building with
frontage along a Neighborhood Street or the
Boulevard; it shall be screened in such a way
that cars on all parking levels are completely
screened from view from all adjacent public
streets. Parking garage ramps shall not be visible
from any public street. Ideally, ramps should
not be located along the perimeter of the
parking structure. Architectural screens shall be
used to articulate the facade, hide parked
vehicles, and shield lighting.
(v) When parking structures are located at corners,
corner architectural elements shall be
incorporated such as corner entrance, signage
and glazing.
