Case Number ZC-20-097 FORTWORTH ZONING MAP CHANGE STAFF REPORT City Council Meeting Date: November 17, 2020 Zoning Commission Recommendation: Approval by a vote of 7-1 Opposition: 5 people spoke, several letters submitted Support: several letters submitted Council District 2 Continued Case Manager Surplus Council Initiated Yes X No , Lynn Jordan Yes No X Yes No X Owner/Applicant: Gyant Frog & City of Fort Worth Property Management Site Location: 4400, 4406 White Settlement Road & 4419 Rockwood Drive Acreage: 0.60 Proposed use: Commercial with Cabin Rentals Request: From: "A-10" One -Family, "E" Neighborhood Commercial and "I" Light Industrial To: PD/E Planned Development for all uses in "E" Neighborhood Commercial plus cabin rentals, outdoor stage and bar area and more than 50% enclosed storage area with development standards for setbacks and parking; site plan included Land use Compatibility: Requested change is compatible. Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Requested change is not consistent (Significant Deviation). Staff Recommendation: Approval Background: The proposed site is located on White Settlement Road, a Major Arterial on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. The applicant is proposing to change the zoning from "A-10" One -Family, "E" Neighborhood Commercial and "I" Light Industrial to PD/E plus nine cabin rentals and more than 50% enclosed storage area to include a stage area. Cabins are considered a hotel use, not allowed by right in the E district. However, the applicant is seeking a PD to allow the use and is required due to the proximity to the "A-10" One Family district to the north. The area is currently developed as Gemelle's restaurant, directly adjacent to the levee with single-family homes to the north within 250 ft. The nine cabins (hotel use) the applicant is requesting to add to the eastern property line will consist of shipping containers to be clad in cedar wood plank siding. Each unit will have one bathroom. Normally supplemental setbacks are used to mitigate commercial encroachment adjacent to residential zoning. However, the applicant is requesting development standards. Because the levee is approximately 100 feet wide, the requested 2-5 foot setback will result in a setback of 102-105 feet. This is significantly larger than the 20 foot setback required for "E" zoning when it is adjacent to "A-5". Page 1 of 4 The applicant currently has an understanding with the Parks Department and were approved to use 32 parking spaces located on City property as long as the travel lane was kept clear for access. They are utilizing 18 spaces on City of Fort Worth property. Because there is not room on -site to add additional parking spaces, the applicant is seeking a waiver to the parking requirement. At the Zoning Commission meeting there were 5 speakers who expressed concerns over parking, traffic, noise, the hotel use and staging area. The applicant did mention in the public meeting he is working on a contract with the adjacent property owner to the west to provide additional parking. The applicant meet with the Crestwood Neighborhood, Rivercrest Bluffs and the River District Neighborhood Association in which several of the neighborhood groups are still in opposition. At the City Council meeting the case was continued to allow more time for the applicant to reach out to staff and interested stakeholders to address some of the ongoing issues. Below is a table showing the "E" district regulations and the proposed PD/E regulations.

Parking for hotel is based on one space per bedroom, 1 space per 4 patron seats and 5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. display/ballroom area; nine cabins are proposed, 1 bedroom for each; 9 spaces required. The site is deficient by 27 parking spaces. (recommended development regulation) • (analysis: The use would be allowed by right through the PD, however, it is adjacent to a residential district boundary requiring a development regulation standard) Staff supports the request based on configuration of the lot. 2. Parking for restaurant is based on 1 space per 100 sq. ft. plus outdoor seating area; 50 spaces required. (recommended development regulation) • (analysis: The restaurant use is allowed by right however, it is adjacent to a residential district boundary requiring a maximum parking count) Staff supports the request based on configuration of the lot. 3. The site plan does not indicate parking on the south side according to aerials, is that to be included in this site plan? 4. Required rear yard supplemental setback is 20'; 5 - 18' provided. (recommended development regulation) • (analysis: Based on the configuration of the property and the adjacent residential zoning district and having to adhere to the supplemental setback) Staff supports the request. 5. Required side yard supplemental setback is 20'; 10-18' provided. (recommended development regulation) • (analysis: Based on the configuration of the property and the adjacent residential zoning district and having to adhere to the supplemental setback) Staff supports the request. 6. Bufferyard requirements are 5'; 2'-5' provided. (recommended development regulation) • (analysis: Based on the configuration of the property and the adjacent residential zoning district and having to adhere to the supplemental setback) Staff supports the request. (Comments made by Platting (Subdivision Ordinance), Transportation/Public Works, Fire, Park & Recreation, and Water Department staff cannot be waived through the Zoning Commission and City Council. Approval of the zoning site plan does not constitute the acceptance of conditions) Public Notification: 300 foot Legal Notifications were mailed on July 29, 2020. The following organizations were notified: (emailed July 29, 2020) Organizations Notified Page 3 of 4 Westside Alliance Tarrant Regional Water District FW Rivercrest Bluffs HOA Streams and Valleys Inc. River District NA Trinity Habitat for Humanity Monticello NA Fort Worth ISD Crestwood NA Castleberry ISD *Located within this Neighborhood Association Development Impact Analysis: 1. Land Use Compatibility The applicant is proposing to change the zoning to PD/E plus cabin rentals, outdoor stage and bar area with more than 50% enclosed storage area. Surrounding uses consist of residential to the north, commercial structure to the west and Trinity River levee to the north and east, White Settlement Road to the south. Due to the proximity to the Trinity, the levee being more than 100 ft. across to the existing residential homes the proposed cabin rentals is compatible with surrounding uses. Comprehensive Plan Consistency — Northside The 2020 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Neighborhood Commercial. The proposed cabin rentals is considered a hotel type use, does not meet the below policies within the Comprehensive Plan: • Separate incompatible land uses with buffers or transitional uses. Some land uses have attributes such as height, proportion, scale, operational characteristics, traffic generated, or appearance that may not be compatible with the attributes of other uses. Based on lack of conformance with the policies stated above, the proposed zoning is not consistent (Significant Deviation) with the Comprehensive Plan. With that said, the use is separated by a surface drainage channel and smaller in scale than typical hotel uses. Therefore, this is an appropriate plan for this site.
