The proposed site is for the most part undeveloped. At the north end of the site area is existing light industrial and C. F. Brewer High School (White Settlement ISD). The site is separated from the school site by an Oncor easement and the existing school drive along the south. The site shares much of the existing undeveloped areas north and south of Silver Creek Rd and along West Loop 820 North. To the south of the site is mainly intensive commercial uses. At the southwest corner of the property there is existing "C" Medium Density zoned property that has been developed into a single family development. Although this is not a site plan case, the developer has worked closely with that neighborhood and has proposed setbacks and other protections in the area.

Development Impact Analysis: 1. Land Use Compatibility The applicant is requesting to rezone from "A-5" One -Family "G" Intensive Commercial to "I" Light Industrial and "J" Medium Industrial for industrial/warehouse development. Silver Creek Road becomes the main spine for the development and has direct access to W Loop 820 N. The site area is mainly undeveloped with the eastern boundary being the freeway and the western boundary being agricultural zoning. The areas where there is residential adjacency are few with the closest existing residential development sharing a small boundary with the site. There are intensive commercial uses separating most of the site from the existing established single family to the south. As a result, the proposed "I" Light Industrial zoning is compatible at this location. 2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency -Far West The 2020 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Mixed -Use Growth Center. The proposed "I" Light Industrial zoning district, which is typically not seen as an appropriate zoning classification to promote growth in a Mixed -Use Growth Center. In this case, Staff has identified this area as one in need of a map amendment. That map amendment is currently underway." This site is supported by various Comprehensive Plan Policies based on its location and proximity to the freeway. Identify and designate on future land use maps new industrial growth centers in rapidly developing areas, based on proximity to existing infrastructure and key transportation intersections. Locate large industrial uses along freight lines, highways, or airports within industrial growth centers and other appropriate locations. Based on conformance with the future land use map and policies stated above, the proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan (map amendment underway). Staff Page 2 of 3 recommends designating the Future land Use area as Light Industrial, which is a change currently in process. 3. Economic Development Strategic Plan The 2018 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 Plan includes performance metrics that place an emphasis on outcomes that create: • High -wage job growth. • A more sustainable tax base, driven less by residential property valuation and more by commercial and industrial investment. • An economy that capitalizes on high -growth industries and the creative individuals who fuel them. • A commitment to "quality of place" throughout the community.
