that Mayor and Council Communication No. G-15240 Revised be approved and
Resolution No. 3384-07-2006 and Appropriation Ordinance No. 17041-07-

ZC-06-164 Mr. Russell Norment, 100 Main Street, appeared before Council in opposition
Approved of the zoning change for two properties located at 4100 and 4125 Ridgehaven

reviewed separately to allow the owner to opt out of the change. He added that
there appeared to be defects with regard to the notice and application process
which had created confusion. He explained that the application to amend the
ordinance was filed on May 17, 2006, which was two days after the deadline of
May 15, 2006, for the June 14, 2006, City Zoning Commission meeting. He
added that the application to amend zoning described the property as ten
properties on Ridgehaven Court and did not include the properties his clients
had under contract to purchase. He further stated that in the City Zoning
Commission meeting it was discussed that the change was consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, but his clients would like the property to remain as single
family with the smaller minimum lot size rather than the larger lot size. He
requested that if the Council approved this zoning, that the two lots his clients
currently have under contract be excluded or to delay action on the zoning case
until further conversations could take place.
Council Member Silcox summarized what occurred at the community meeting
for this zoning change. He stated that what was being done was to change the
zoning to the correct zoning for the size of the properties. He added that if the
properties were allowed to remain "A-5" One Family Residential then some of
the properties could be sold and subdivided down which could be disastrous for
this community. He explained that if there were multiple acres, the property
could be subdivided down to"A-43" to two or three smaller lots.
Mayor Moncrief requested City Attorney Yett address the timing of filing of
the documents and a recommendation on how to proceed.
City Attorney Yett stated that staff had reviewed all the relevant information on
this case and the Law Department was satisfied that the zoning change was
appropriately noticed for Council action this evening. He recommended that
Council take action on the properties affected by the zoning change with the
exception of the two properties Mr. Norment mentioned and act on those
separately.
Council Member Silcox made a motion, seconded by Council Member
Wheatfall, to approve the application of the City of Fort Worth for a change in
zoning of property located in the 4100 through 4500 blocks of Ridgehaven
Road and 4100 through 4400 blocks of Ridgehaven Court from "A-5" One-
Family Residential to "A-43" One-Family Residential, Zoning Docket No. ZC-
06-164, with the exclusion of 4100 and 4124 Ridgehaven Road and that the
zoning for 4520 Ridgehaven Road and 4110 and 4400 Ridgehaven Court be

(Mayor Moncrief stepped away from the dais.)
ZC-06-091 Ms. Cindy Holt, 2833 Weisenberger, appeared before Council in support of the
Denied With denial. She stated that the developer did not give the neighborhood an
Prejudice opportunity to address the zoning change. She expressed concern with the

communication between the developer and affected neighborhood. She
suggested that City staff act as a mediator between the developer and
neighborhood.
Jesse Sandoval Mr. Jesse Sandoval, 2712 Weisenberger, appeared before Council in support of
the denial. He requested the Council deny the zoning change to preserve the
neighborhood.
(Mayor Moncrief returned to his chair at the dais.)
Phillip Poole Mr. Phillip Poole, 2918 Wingate, representing the property owner, appeared
before Council in opposition of the denial. He stated that Mr. Ayes, the
property owner had been a property owner in the area for 40 years and that he
had rental property that he had maintained with perfect rental scores for low
and moderate incomes. He added that Mr. Ayers needed to down zone what
CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JULY 11, 2006
PAGE 45 of 48
was a mix grouping of zoning, i.e., industrial, high intensity apartments, and
neighborhood commercial, all inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
He further stated a true land use plan had not been done on this area and it was
their desire to work with the neighborhood to develop the appropriate zoning.
He added that unfortunately the neighborhood was caught as a victim of the
success of Montgomery Plaza and the additional area around it. He advised the
Council that no person that owned a single family home or lived there had ever
been threatened in any way and that they were willing sellers and buyers
looking at producing a better quality product in the neighborhood. He added 24
percent of the neighborhood was either abandoned or boarded up, but there was
a core group of people who was focused on taking care of their homes and
another group of speculators that were not interested in maintaining the homes.
He continued by stating that he had been an advocate to re-look at the Cultural
District Plan and to downzone to a single family category would constitute a
taking for people who had a higher zoning category in place now. He
completed his remarks by stating that he took exception to the characterization
of Mr. Ayers being an evil slumlord or speculator from those who were
challenging him.
Mayor Moncrief stated that this neighborhood had lived in the shadows of the
City for years and that nobody paid attention to them until after the tornado hit.
He added that the awareness came when it was learned about the contract for
deed activities that were taking place and conning people out of their homes
and dreams. He referred to the Senate Bill he initiated to make the necessary
changes in the law to protect people from this activity and that he erred on the
side of the property owners and those who lived in the area. He added that the
Council was sensitive to what this neighborhood had been through once and did
not need to go through again.
Council Member Davis stated she wanted to work with the neighborhood and
property owners and that she agreed with Mr. Poole's characterization that Mr.
Ayers was not an absentee investor in the neighborhood. She added that the
current zoning was terrible for the area and that if it were developed under the
existing zoning it would be disastrous. She further stated that a plan needed to
be devised that everyone agreed on. She added that many of the investors
owned these properties by virtue of taking advantage of persons who believed
they were purchasing homes from them, and who paid for years and years on
the homes, only to see them taken away when they found out they had no rights
under the contract for deed that was being used to purportedly purchase the
house. She stated that she did not want to reward that behavior in terms of
allowing those investors to reap a huge financial windfall by virtue of their

actions. She cautioned that there would be continuing development pressures
on the neighborhood and that if the City could not devise a plan that worked for
everyone, these types of cases would continue. She stressed that the City
needed to be cognizant of the fact that as these areas grow, there was very little
left that was affordable in the near downtown area. She added that she wanted
to preserve the opportunity for the persons who lived there today, to continue to
live there in the future in the same affordable opportunities that they have had
for a long time.
