Harmon Road Proposed Use: Multifamily Continued Case Manager Surplus Council Initiated Acreage: 15.14 Request: From: "F" General Commercial To: "C" Medium Density Multifamily Land Use Compatibility: Requested change is compatible. Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Requested change is consistent. Staff Recommendation: Approval Yes _ No X Laura Evans Yes _ No X Yes _ No X Background: The applicant is requesting a zoning change from "F" Commercial to "C" Medium Density Multifamily. The property is on the south side of US Highway 287, north and west of Harmon Road. The applicant would like to rezone approximately 15 acres to multifamily along Highway 287. The immediate surrounding area is generally undeveloped. There are established single family neighborhoods to the west and south of the site, with a proposed industrial development to the east. The proposed zoning will continue the trend of multifamily zoning adjacent to Highway 287, with multifamily serving as a buffer between developing single family and the state highway. Site Information: Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: North "F" General Commercial / Hwy 287 East "F" "I" Light Industrial / undeveloped West "F" General Commercial / undeveloped Zoning History: ZC-17-108 from F to D; northeast of subject site; case was withdrawn Public Notification: 300 foot Legal Notifications were mailed on December 22, 2020.

Land Use Compatibility The applicant is proposing a zoning change to "F" General Commercial to "C" Medium Density Multifamily. Surrounding land uses are vacant to the north and south, single-family to the west, Highway 287 to the east. The proposed zoning for this site is compatible at this location. 2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency —Far North The 2020 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as General Commercial. The requested zoning change to "C" Medium Density Multifamily is not explicitly consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. However, the requested "C" zoning is an appropriate zoning based on land use policies found within the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use Chapter as multifamily is supportive and compatible with commercial development. The "C" zoning could also act as a buffer for the single-family from the traffic and noise from the more intense major highway. The proposed site is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan policies: • Locate multifamily units adjacent to collector streets, arterial streets, or rail transit stations to provide the increased level of transportation services necessary for the greater number of residents. • Encourage new development type and intensity appropriate to existing or planned street infrastructure by coordinating future land use map changes with the Master Thoroughfare Plan and an adopted Complete Streets policy. • Encourage Urban Residential and Low Density Residential as transitional uses between Single -Family Residential and high density uses. While the future land use is General Commercial, the requested change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies stated above. 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. The below strategies apply to this project: INITIATIVE 3.2. NEIGHBORHOOD ALIGNMENT Align neighborhood assets (people, businesses, and real estate) to benefit from and support citywide economic growth. • 3.2.2.1. Provide developer incentives for the creation of new high -quality housing stock on vacant properties. These should include a range of housing types and price points such as single-family homes, townhomes, high -quality multi -family properties, and mixed -use developments with residential units on upper floors and retail/office space on ground floors.
