Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Requested change is consistent. Staff Recommendation: Approval with the provision that any future/new construction be consistent with existing structure's bulk and height. Background: The site is located near the intersection of Lafayette Avenue and Hulen Street. The applicant is requesting to rezone from "A-5" One -Family to PD/A-5 Planned Development for all uses in "A-5" One - Family plus two units on one lot; site plan required for new construction. New construction shall conform to the current bulk and height of the existing structure. When the Crestline Area NA worked to rezone this area to "A-5" there was an understanding from the neighborhood that through attrition, areas that could not meet legal nonconforming standards would cease operation and convert to "A-5" specific uses. While that effort is still valid today, the owners of this property are requesting the "PD" designation to protect their investment. Staff was unable to find any information confirming the legal nonconforming use of the property, nor were any Sanborne Maps available. The Tarrant Appraisal District website shows that the structure was built in 1973.

The following organizations were notified: (emailed December 21, 2020) Organizations Notified Westside Alliance Arlington Heights NA Crestline Area NA* Streams And Valleys Inc Trinity Habitat for Humanity Camp Bowie District, Inc Fort Worth ISD *Located within this registered Neighborhood Association Development Impact Analysis: 1. Land Use Compatibility The applicant is proposing to change the zoning to PD/A-5 Planned Development for all uses in "A-5" One -Family plus two units on one lot; site plan waiver requested. The surrounding land uses consist of primarily single-family with a few duplexes throughout the neighborhood. The Crestline Area NA worked to rezone this area to A-5 to prevent tear downs and the construction of structures outside of the existing neighborhood's context. Because of this, staff recommends that if new construction is to occur on this site, it shall be done consistent with the current bulk and height. This will allow any new construction to remain in the existing context of the neighborhood. Site plan required for new construction. The proposed use for two units on one lot is compatible with surrounding uses. 2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency —Arlington Heights The 2020 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Single -Family residential. The requested zoning change for two units on one lot is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan policies. • Encourage appropriate development and redevelopment within central city commercial districts and neighborhoods. • Support diverse housing options, including duplexes, fourplexes, townhomes, and small courtyard apartments to promote walkable communities, access to neighborhood services, and multimodal transportation options, while ensuring compatibility with the form, sale, and design of existing neighborhoods. The continued usage of these units provides alternative and affordable housing accommodations, especially within the older parts of town and in the central city. While the use of two units is not consistent with the Single Family designation of the future land use plan, it does provide affordable and accessible housing which is also a policy of the city. Therefore, the proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Attachments: • Area Zoning Map with 300 ft.
