Site Location: 1209 Jacksboro Highway Acreage: 8.99
Proposed Use: Multifamily
Request: From: "MU-1" Low Intensity Mixed -Use
To: "MU-2" High Intensity Mixed -Use
Land Use Compatibility: Requested change is compatible.
Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Requested change is consistent.
Staff Recommendation: Approval
Background:
The applicant is requesting a zoning change from "MU-1" Low Intensity Mixed -Use to "MU-2" High
Intensity Mixed -Use on 8.99 acres of land located along the south side of Jacksboro Highway, just east of
its intersection with North University Drive. The existing "MU-1" zoning was approved by the Fort Worth
City Council on June 2, 2020 to allow construction of a multifamily development.
Building height in the MU-1 district is limited to three stories for single -use buildings and five stories for
mixed -use buildings. However, the applicant has indicated that they would like to construct a single -use
(all residential) development that exceeds three stories in height. To provide this flexibility, the applicant is
requesting a zoning change to MU-2 district, which allows up to five stories in height for single -use
buildings and ten stories for mixed -use buildings.
The subject property is located within the Trinity Uptown Peripheral Overlay, which was established to
promote development compatible with the Trinity Uptown Form Based Districts, since renamed Panther
Island. Jacksboro Highway is designated as a commercial connector on the City's Master Thoroughfare
Plan, and there are several bus stops along this roadway. In addition, the majority of the subject property
is located within the FEMA 100-year floodplain, and therefore any new construction will need to be
elevated above the floodplain. Detention will likely be required with completion and approval of the Storm
Water Plan.
Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses:
North "FR" General Commercial Restricted / commercial use
East "I" Light Industrial / automotive shop
South "B" Two Family / Trinity River
West "F" General Commercial / church and "B" Two Family / undeveloped
Recent Relevant Zoning History:
• ZC-10-106: Amended Trinity Uptown guidelines; effective 9/4/10
• ZC-20-031: Rezoned the subject property from "B" Two -Family and "F" General Commercial to
"MU-1" Low -Intensity Mixed Use

Development Impact Analysis:
1. Land Use Compatibility
The applicant is proposing a zoning change from "MU-1" Low Intensity Mixed -Use to "MU-2" High
Intensity Mixed -Use, specifically to allow an increase in building height for a previously proposed
multifamily development. The property is bounded at the southern end by the Trinity River, and
much of the adjacent property to the east and west is undeveloped. Property to the west is zoned
for residential development, and there are existing commercial uses along Jacksboro Highway.
The proposed multifamily is compatible with surrounding uses.
2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency — Northside
The 2020 Comprehensive Plan designates the front portion of subject property along Jacksboro
Highway as General Commercial, which can include multifamily and mixed -use development. The
remainder of the property, which is located in the FEMA 100-year floodplain, is designated as
Open Space. The proposed multifamily development meets the below policies within the following
Comprehensive Plan:
• 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.
• Promote location of multifamily units within walking distance of public transportation,
employment, recreation, and/or shopping to increase accessibility and decrease vehicular
traffic generation.
Based on conformance with the policies stated above, the proposed zoning is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan.
Economic Development Plan
The 2017 Economic Development Strategic Plan identified a vision, goals, and strategies to
facilitate the success and growth of the City of Fort Worth. The below strategies apply to this
project:
