SUBJECT: PROPOSED COUNCIL INITIATED ZONING CHANGES FOR
CERTAIN PROPERTIES LOCATED ALONG SOUTH SYLVANIA
AVENUE IN COUNCIL DISTRICT 8
The September 1 City Council agenda will contain a resolution to initiate the rezoning process for
approximately nine (9) properties along South Sylvania Avenue in the Northeast Planning Sector
of Fort Worth. The purpose of the zoning change is to rezone developed properties and provide
development regulations consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the character of the area.
On June 4, 2019 a larger Council -initiated rezoning was approved for the United Riverside
neighborhood, including this area along South Sylvania Avenue rezoning the properties to "ER"
Neighborhood Commercial Restricted. A majority of the businesses in this area are more
intensive commercial and industrial type uses. The proposed zoning changes will address the
actual uses in the area as "F" General Commercial uses.
Council Member Gray held a meeting on August 6, 2020 with the affected property owners. The
meeting was attended by two (2) parties, a property owner and United Riverside Neighborhood
Association President. Staff notified property owners of the meeting through email.
Council Member Gray is recommending a zoning category that best fits the existing intensive
commercial, light industrial and brewery uses. The area is proposed to be rezoned to PD/F
Planned Development for all uses in "F" General Commercial plus light manufacturing and
brewery, to allow more than 50% enclosed storage area and excluding the following uses: liquor
sales, package store, bar, tavern, club or cocktail lounge, massage or tattoo parlor, pawnshops,
auto repair and sales, tire shops, amusement outdoor, RV park, and game rooms as a primary
use; site plan waiver requested. Additionally the PD would allow outdoor storage related to the
businesses at 112 and 120 South Sylvania Avenue.
The proposed schedule for the public hearings on the zoning change are the Zoning Commission
on September 9, 2020 and the City Council on September 15, 2020.
If you have any questions, please contact Arty Wheaton -Rodriguez, Planning Manager in
Development Services, at 817-392-6226.
