(Minor Boundary Adjustment).
Approval
Background:
The proposed site is located on the north side of 1st Street just before it turns into Randol Mill Road as it
continues east. The site is east of the West Fork Trinity River. 1-30 is about a mile away, accessed by going
east on 1st Street, then south on Oakland Boulevard. The applicant is requesting to rezone from "C" Medium
Density Multifamily and "E" Neighborhood Commercial to "I" Light Industrial, for industrial/warehouse
development.
The area around the proposed site is for the most part undeveloped and unplatted, with irregular zoning
district boundaries. The site does share its eastern boundary with existing light industrial zoning for oil and
gas companies. The surrounding land to the north and west are undeveloped with a few gas wells; most of
this land is within the floodplain. Across 1st Street to the south is Gateway Park, which is also within the
floodplain.
This case originally applied to be heard at the January 2021 Zoning Commission meeting but then withdrew
before the meeting occurred. The applicant has now reapplied with a new case number; nothing in the
application request has changed. The new case went to the April Zoning Commission meeting, where the
applicant then requested a continuance to the May hearing.

Development Impact Analysis:
1. Land Use Compatibility
The applicant is requesting to rezone from "C" Medium Density Multifamily and "E" Neighborhood
Commercial to "I" Light Industrial for industrial warehouse use. East of the site is existing "I" Light
Industrial, occupied by oil and gas companies. Additionally, multiple gas well pads surround the
site. The northern portion of the site is bordered by power lines. Most of the surrounding area to
the north and west are vacant and are located in the floodplain. Gateway Park to the south is also
within the floodplain.
As it is very unlikely the surrounding areas will be developed due to the floodplain, and the existing
industrial development adjacent to the east, the proposed "I" Light Industrial zoning is compatible
at this location.
2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency-Eastside
The 2020 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Mixed -Use. While the proposed
zoning does not follow the intended Future Land Use, the "I" Light Industrial zoning and warehouse
use, with the site's direct and clear access to 1-30 and Highway 121, are supported by the following
policies of the Comprehensive Plan:
• Promote appropriate infill development of vacant lots within developed areas, which will
efficiently utilize existing infrastructure
• Locate large industrial uses along freight lines, highways, or airports within industrial growth
centers and other appropriate locations.
Based on conformance with the policies stated above, the proposed zoning is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan (minor boundary adjustment). Staff recommends designating the area as
Light Industrial Future Land Use, especially if the requested zoning change is approved.

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.
