Mason Street Proposed use: Auxiliary Parking Lot Request: Zone: "A-5" One -Family Council District 9 Continued Yes _ No X Case Manager Lynn Jordan+ Surplus Yes No X Council Initiated Yes No X acreage: 0.13 To: Add Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow for an auxiliary parking lot with development regulation standard to setbacks and bufferyard; site plan included Land use Compatibility: Requested change is compatible. Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Requested change is consistent. Staff Recommendation: Approval with 3 year renewal Background: The subject property is located just east of St. Louis Street and south on Mason Street. The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow for a parking lot in "A-5" zoning for the adjacent business. The subject block face is primarily single family with a few vacant lots and a commercial building to the west. The applicant owns the adjacent lot zoned "E" and may have a couple of parking spaces on -site within the projected setback. According to historic aerials the parking lot has been there since at least 1992 and associated with the adjacent business. Staff could not find a Land Use CO or Board of Adjustment case for this property. The parking lot currently has seven parking spaces with a grassy area at the back of the property. Three of the existing parking spaces encroach into the projected setback along East Mason. There is no screening fence and bufferyard adjacent to the residential district and requires a 20 ft. projected setback, both will require a development regulation standard from the ordinance. The applicant has mentioned there will be no parking lot lighting. The lot will have to be chained and locked at night since it is adjacent to residential. Conditional uses are those uses which are generally compatible with the permitted land uses in a given zoning district, require individual review of their proposed location, design and configuration, and the imposition of conditions in order to ensure the appropriateness of the use at a particular location. Page 1 of 3 While auxiliary parking is not permitted in residential zoning district by right, only through a CUP with a site plan. A time limit may help mitigate any neighborhood concerns, as well as give options for the CUP to be revoked in the event of code violation convictions. The site is directly adjacent to a residential district and requires additional development standards.

There is an established 25 ft. projected setback in which three parking spaces encroach. (development regulation standard, recommended approval) 2. A 6 ft. screening fence and bufferyard must be provided on all sides adjacent to residential district. Site plan indicates no screening fence or bufferyard. (development regulation standard, recommended approval) 3. (FYI) Since the parking lot existed prior to the Urban Forestry ordinance, Section 6.302 does not apply unless new paving is added.

Land Use Compatibility The applicant is requesting a zoning change to add a CUP to allow for auxiliary parking on an adjacent lot. Surrounding land uses consist of primarily single family with a vacant commercial building to the west. Due to the location of single family lots and surrounding zoning, the lot used for parking has been established for some time, the proposed zoning request is compatible at this location. 2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency Southside Sector The 2019 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Neighborhood Commercial which would allow the parking lot by right. The requested zoning district is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan policies. • Encourage appropriate development and redevelopment within central city commercial districts and neighborhoods. 3. Economic Development Plan The 2017 Economic Development Strategic Plan identified a vision, goals, and strategies in order to facilitate the success and growth of the City of Fort Worth.
