Staff Recommendation
Requested change is consistent.
Approval
Background:
The subject property is located along the east side of Haltom Road, north of its intersection with East 1st
Street and south of State Highway 121. The site is currently zoned "AG" Agricultural District but has
recently been used for outdoor storage of large commercial vehicles and trailers, resulting in a Code
Compliance violation. In order to remedy this situation, the applicant is requesting to rezone the property
to "I" Light Industrial District.
The Zoning Ordinance specifies that a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required when "Outdoor sales
and storage including yards, contractors, lumber or storage, automobiles, storage yards, building
materials" occurs without a primary use on the property. Therefore, if this zoning change is approved, the
applicant will also need to seek approval of a CUP from the Zoning Commission at a future meeting.
The majority of surrounding land uses along Haltom Road are industrial. This site is bordered to the east
by the West Fork Trinity River, and a large portion of land at the rear of the property is located within the
FEMA 100-year floodplain, as are several of the surrounding properties to the east, south, and north.
Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses:
North "K" Heavy Industrial / industrial use
East "G" Intensive Commercial / vacant, floodplain
South "AG" Agricultural / single-family dwelling, vacant/floodplain
West "K" Heavy Industrial / industrial use

Recent Relevant Zoning History:
• ZC-16-211: Rezoned adjacent property located to the southwest from "B" Two -Family and "I"
Light Industrial to "K" Heavy Industrial.

Development Impact Analysis:
1. Land Use Compatibility
The applicant is proposing to change the zoning of this property from "AG" Agricultural to "I" Light
Industrial. Surrounding land uses are largely industrial. Properties to the north and west of this
site are zoned "K" Heavy Industrial District, as are most other properties continuing along Haltom
Road towards State Highway 121. The properties immediately north and west of the subject site
are developed with similar industrial storage -type uses, and there is a BMX racing course to the
northwest. Property to the south and east is primarily vacant, as much of it is located within the
FEMA floodplain.
The proposed zoning is compatible with surrounding land uses.
2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency — Eastside
The 2021 Comprehensive Plan currently designates the majority of the subject property as "Light
Industrial." A small portion at the rear of the property, and located entirely within the floodplain, is
designated as "Open Space." The proposed zoning is consistent with the land use designations
for this area and aligns with the following policies of the Comprehensive Plan:
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 rail lines, highways, or airports within industrial
growth centers and other appropriate locations (This site is directly accessible from State
Highway 121, which is located approximately 0.3 miles to the north, and there is also an
existing railway line located to the north).
Promote industrial development within the Riverbend and Centreport Industrial Growth
Centers.
Based on conformance with the policies stated above, the proposed zoning is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan.
3. Economic Development Plan
The 2018 Economic Development Strategic Plan identified a vision, goals, and strategies to
facilitate the success and growth of the City of Fort Worth. The following are listed as initiatives
for Business Retention & Expansion:
• 1.3.3. Protect industrial areas from encroachment. Through zoning, work with CFW
Planning Department to ensure major current and future employment nodes and districts are
protected from incompatible development and land uses.
• 1.3.3.2. Ensure protection for other significant industrial districts with concentrations of
manufacturing, transportation, and warehousing businesses that generate heavy truck traffic.
