Staff Recommendation
Requested change is consistent.
Approval
Background:
The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Briarhaven Road and Kingsridge Road, just
west of Hulen Street. This site has recently been developed as a new public school, Overton Park
Elementary, and it is currently zoned "A-5" One -Family District. Public school is an allowed land use in all
standard zoning districts. However, the applicant is requesting a zoning change to "CF" Community
Facilities in order to allow an electronic sign to be installed on the property.
Electronic changeable copy signs may be permitted by special exception in commercial, industrial, mixed -
use and community facility zoning districts (subject to the provisions of Section 6.411 of the Zoning
Ordinance). Therefore, if this zoning change is approved, the applicant will also need to seek approval of
a Special Exception from the Board of Adjustment in order to permit an electronic sign on this property.

Subject property is not located within a registered Neighborhood Association.
Development Impact Analysis:
1. Land Use Compatibility
The applicant is requesting to change the zoning of this property from "A-5" One -Family District to
"CIF" Community Facilities, which is an appropriate zoning designation for the current use of the
site as an elementary school. Surrounding land uses are almost entirely institutional, with a Fort
Worth Public Library located to the north, two synagogues located north and east of the site
respectively, and a church and Girl Scouts center located to the west. Property to the south is
zoned for commercial use and developed with a bank and office/retail space.
There is existing "A-5" One -Family zoning adjacent to this site. However, these properties are all
developed with existing community facility uses rather than with single-family homes, making this
a more appropriate location for an electronic sign. There are several single-family subdivisions
located to the east across Hulen Street.
The proposed zoning is compatible with surrounding land uses.
2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency — TCU/Westcliff
The 2021 Comprehensive Plan currently designates the subject property, as well as all
surrounding properties along Briarhaven Road, as "Institutional" on the Future Land Use Map.
This designation is intended to include "Schools, churches, government, human services, utilities,
community centers, and day cares." The Comprehensive Plan specifically labels "CIF" Community
Facilities as the appropriate zoning classification for properties designated for Institutional use.
The current use of the site as an elementary school conforms to this designation and the
proposed zoning aligns with the following policies of the Comprehensive Plan:
• Locate elementary, middle, and high schools on blocks surrounded by streets.
Based on conformance with the policies stated above, the proposed zoning is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan.
