Aerial Photograph Project Description and Background The subject property is located at the northwest corner of Schwartz Avenue and Loraine Street, approximately 0.1 miles north of the Northeast 281h Street corridor. There is an existing building on site that was previously used as a masonic lodge, with signage describing it as "Stockyard Lodge," as well as an associated parking area to the north of the building. The applicant plans to purchase the property and would like to use the existing building as an event center. "Event center or rental hall" is not an allowed land use in any of the City's standard residential districts. Therefore, the applicant is proposing to change the zoning of this site to "E" Neighborhood Commercial. The subject property and all adjacent properties within this block are zoned "A-5" One -Family. The majority of surrounding properties within a several -block radius are also zoned "A-5" District and most of these lots are developed with single-family dwellings. A few properties near this site are developed for non-residential use, including several churches as well as Diamond Hill Elementary School which is located two blocks east of the subject property. Schools and Places of Worship are both allowed land uses in the "A-5" District. If this zoning change request were approved, any future expansion or redevelopment of the site would be subject to all development requirements for "E" Neighborhood Commercial District, including buffering and supplemental setbacks from the adjacent residential properties.

Public Notification 300-foot Legal Notifications were mailed on September 21, 2021. The following organizations were notified: (emailed September 24, 2021) Or anizations Notified Inter -District 2 Alliance Diamond Hill Jarvis NAC* Streams and Valleys Inc Trinity Habitat for Humanity North Fort Worth Historical Society Fort Worth ISD * Located within this registered Neighborhood Association Development Impact Analysis Land Use Compatibility The applicant is proposing to change the zoning of this property from "A-5" One -Family to "E" Neighborhood Commercial to allow for event center use. All surrounding properties are zoned "A-5" One -Family. Properties to the west, south, and east are developed with single-family dwellings. There is an existing non-residential building to the north of this site which appears to be vacant. This property is owned by the City of Fort Worth. Commercial use in this location would create concern due to proximity to the adjacent residential properties, especially those fronting LuLu Avenue which have rear yards directly abutting this site. Noise would likely be the primary concern with the proposed event center use, especially during evening and weekend hours. However, if the proposed zoning change were approved, commercial uses other than event center would be allowed by right in this location. The proposed zoning is not compatible with surrounding land uses. Comprehensive Plan Consistency — Northeast The 2021 Comprehensive Plan currently designates the subject property as "Institutional" on the Future Land Use Map. The "Institutional" category is intended to provide for schools, churches, government buildings, community centers, day cares, etc. and the most appropriate zoning classification for this designation is "CF" Community Facilities, as described in the excerpt below from the Comprehensive Plan. Rural Residential 1+ acre single-family A-2.5A, A-43 Suburban Residential 1/2+ acre single-family A-21 Single -Family Residential 3,500+ sq. ft. lot single-family A-10,A-7.5, A-5, AR Manufactured Housing Manufactured home parks and subdivisions MH Low Density Residential 2,500+ sq. ft. lot single-family, two-family, patio homes, townhouses, B R1 R2 cluster housing Medium Density Residential Up to 36 units/acre multifamily CR, C, D High Density Residential >36 units/acre multifamily, mixed -use multifamily ingrowth centers UR, MU-1, MU-2, Form - Based Codes Institutional Schools, churches, government, human services, utilities, community Schools and Churches: ALL centers, day cares Others: CF "B" Neighborhood Commercial is not listed as an appropriate zoning district for the Institutional category. "Event center or rental hall" is also not an allowed land use in the "CF" Community Facilities district. In addition, the following policy from the Comprehensive Plan applies to the Northeast Sector, where is property is located: • Protect neighborhoods from commercial and industrial encroachment from Belknap Street, 28th Street, Sylvania Avenue and Riverside Drive The proposed zoning is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
