Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Requested change is consistent (Technical Inconsistency). Staff Recommendation: Approval Background: The subject property is located off of Ben Avenue, which is south of Lancaster Avenue and west of Collard Street. It is about a mile east of the intersection of Beach Street and Lancaster Avenue. The subject lot is located within Neighborhood Empowerment Zone (NEZ) Area Six and Oakland Corners NEZ The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow for outdoor vehicle storage without a primary use. 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. While an accessory use without a primary use is not permitted in the "I" zoning district by right, allowing it by CUP with a site plan and a time limit may help mitigate any concerns, as well as give options for the CUP to be revoked in the event of code violation convictions. Through Ordinance 23609 effective March 29, 2019, the Conditional Use Permit allows for an unlimited time period for the operation of a use unless otherwise approved by the City Council. If a time limit is established for a Conditional Use Permit, the renewal of the CUP shall be considered through the public hearing process and approved by the City Council. A CUP shall expire if no permitting action is taken Page 1 of 3 within six months of approval or cease of the use for six months. A CUP may be revoked through the public hearing process if necessary after convictions of one or more code violations. Per Section 4.407 (a), the following general rules apply to all conditional uses: a) Conditional use permits in residential districts shall be limited to those uses designated "CUP" in the Residential District Use Table in Chapter 4, Article 6, Section 4.603. b) Approval of a conditional use permit shall authorize only the particular use or category of related uses for which the conditional use permit is issued. c) A conditional use shall not be enlarged, extended or otherwise modified unless approved by the City Council or approved administratively as applicable. d) The use of property for the purposes described in a conditional use permit shall not commence until a certificate of occupancy has been issued. A certificate of occupancy shall not be issued until all or approvals which may be required by the Codes and Ordinances of the City, including, but not limited to, a Building Permit, a Certificate Of Occupancy and subdivision approval have been satisfied. Section (d) provides the following Conditional Use Permit factors in consideration of appropriateness of a request: a) The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; b) The proposed use is compatible with the existing and adjacent uses. c) The proposed use meets all supplemental use standards specifically applicable to the use as set forth in Chapter 5; d) The proposed use is compatible with and preserves the character and integrity of adjacent development and neighborhoods; e) The proposed use is not materially detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare, or results in material damage or prejudice to other property in the vicinity.

Streams And Valleys Inc Trinity Habitat for Humanity Southeast Fort Worth Inc East Fort Worth Business A Fort Worth ISD *Located within this Neighborhood Association Page 2 of 3 Development Impact Analysis: 1. Land Use Compatibility The applicant is proposing to change the zoning to add a CUP for outdoor vehicle storage. Surrounding uses are primarily industrial with a gas compressor site to the west and railroad tracks to the south. The proposed parking is compatible with surrounding uses. 2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency — Eastside The 2020 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Mixed Use. The proposed parking meets the below policies within the following Comprehensive Plan: • Locate large industrial uses along freight rail lines, highways, or airports within industrial growth centers and other appropriate locations • 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. "MU-2" High Intensity Mixed Use allows for selected light industrial uses. Based on conformance with the policies stated above, the proposed zoning is consistent (technical inconsistency) with the Comprehensive Plan. Attachments: • Area Zoning Map with 300 ft.
