Together, the City of Fort Worth, the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T), Texas Christian U niversity (TCU), and the Berry Street Initiative have partnered to create a transit -oriented development (TOD) plan and implementable form -based code for the TCU/Berry Station area. The TCU/Berry Station will be located near the southwest corner of the intersection of West Berry Street and Cleburne Road on the Fort Worth and Western Railroad (FWWR). This station is expected to draw residents, employees, business patrons and students from the surrounding area. The station site is within one -quarter mile walking distance of Paschal High School and West Berry Street retail development, and within one mile of the TCU campus. The project is located on the planned Tarrant Express Rail (TEX Rail) formerly known as the Southwest -to -Northeast Rail Corridor. The commuter rail corridor is a 37-mile long line between far southwest Fort Worth and the Dallas -Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport. From southwest Fort Worth, the rail corridor passes through the TCU and Medical District areas, into downtown Fort Worth (with connections to the Trinity Railway Express commuter rail line), then through northeast Fort Worth and several suburban communities in Tarrant County, including downtown Grapevine, and finally into the north end of the DFW Airport terminals. P ast studies of the area have identified constraints and opportunities for redevelopment, as well as provisions for commuter rail. In 2007, the City of Fort Worth adopted a master plan for the Berry/University Urban Village to describe and facilitate desired future development and to make recommendations that promote quality urban development throughout the urban village. At the same time, The T initiated the TEX Rail project and its Environmental Impact Statement/Preliminary Engineering process. During this process, The T created a station area plan that recommended guiding principles and established a framework plan for the area immediately surrounding the proposed station More recently, the City of Fort Worth commenced a consultant -led stormwater feasible option study to evaluate flood prevention alternatives within the TCU/Berry Station area and its surrounding watershed. This study identified some general recommendations for stormwater detention/retention and conveyance that could create a unique opportunity to include stormwater management features as significant urban amenities for the higher density community that is envisioned around the TCU/Berry Station. The City of Fort Worth is continuing to study options for effective stormwater management in the TCU/Berry Station area. Interlocal Cooperation Agreement Page 5 N CTCOG and CITY OF FORT WORTH SCOPE OF SERVICES PRIMARY WORK PRODUCTS The end product of this study will be an adoption -ready transit -oriented development (TOD) plan and implementable form -based code for the TCU/Berry Station. The project boundaries are depicted in the attached map, and generally include the area within up to a one-half mile radius from the TCU/Berry Station platform as well as the Berry Street corridor connecting the station to Texas Christian University (TCU) via the Berry/University Urban Village. The form -based code created through this project is intended to supersede the present zoning ordinance and other local land development regulations as they apply to the TCU/Berry Station area This form -based code is to be consistent with the definitions/terminology development principles, format and administrative procedures established by other adopted form -based codes in the City of Fort Worth (Trinity Uptown, the Near Southside and Camp Bowie). INITIAL REVIEW AND ANALYSIS 1. Staff and Stakeholder Interviews. The Consultant will interview appropriate stakeholders affected by or involved with the project. Groups and individuals to be interviewed should include elected officials Berry Street Initiative members, property owners neighborhood representatives, local design professionals developers, business(es), neighboring educational institutions, The T staff and City of Fort Worth staff. City staff, with the input from the Consultant, will arrange and schedule the appropriate interview panels. 2. GIS and Site Location Analysis. The Consultant will become familiar with the physical details of the TCU/Berry Station area including stormwater and other infrastructure needs and the existing patterns of development and architecture in the surrounding neighborhoods. The City will provide the Consultant with GIS shapefiles of the area and known utilities along with the relevant studies and reports outlined below to guide the TOD planning. • TCU/Berry Station Area Plan (including market study component and design principles). • The Goodman Corp 2000 Concept Plan for the Berry Street Redevelopment Program. • TCU Study of Economic Impact of Paschal High School. • Berry/University Urban Village Master Plan, adopted December 2007. • Water and Wastewater Master Plans with contributing build -out analysis of Berry/University Urban Village by Fort Worth Planning & Development Department. • Platting and property ownership information. • Fort Worth Parks Master Plan as it relates to the study area • Stormwater Feasible Options Study (Forest Park/Berry section). • Trinity Uptown, the Near Southside and Camp Bowie form -based codes (for the purpose of developing the TCU/Berry form -based code appropriately consistent with the previous adopted form -based codes.). 3. Website and Other Outreach. The Consultant will provide information for the City of Fort Worth's website and prepare public presentation boards. As City officials deem appropriate the Consultant will provide materials including text photographs GIS maps renderings, and other images for public presentation boards and for the website in JPEG or other formats identified by the City.
