The October 19, 2021, City Council agenda will contain a resolution to initiate the rezoning process for
properties in the Evans and Rosedale Urban Village, as requested by Councilmember Chris Nettles. The
purpose of the proposed zoning change from PD/E Neighborhood Commercial, PD/MU-1 Low Intensity
Mixed Use, PD/MU-1/HC Low Intensity Mixed-Use/Historic and Cultural to NS-T4R Near Southside
General Urban Restricted and NS-T4R-HC Near Southside General Urban Restricted/Historic and Cultural
is to rezone property in order to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and development plans
presented to the community through a public -private partnership. The properties for the proposed rezoning
are depicted in Exhibit A.
The Evans and Rosedale Urban Village, located in the Near Southeast Neighborhood, was an economic
and social center for Fort Worth's African -American community in the early to mid -twentieth century. Its
architectural landmarks are symbolic reminders of the community's vitality before disinvestment. The
subject properties owned by the Fort Worth Housing Finance Corporation (FWHFC) were purchased in
2004 to facilitate redevelopment. In 2018, the City of Fort Worth issued a Request for Expressions of
Interest (RFEI) for properties owned by the City, FWHFC, and the Fort Worth Local Development
Corporation (LDC). Hogue Global, LLC was chosen as the master developer following a competitive
process
Hogue Global, LLC has worked closely with the neighborhood and City staff to create a private -public
partnership supporting the neighborhood with new apartments, live -work units, and townhomes, as well as
mixed -use commercial development. The conceptual plans and land use meet the intent of the City's
Comprehensive Plan and the Evans and Rosedale Urban Village Master Site Plan & Design Standards
and Guidelines.
The City and the developer held a meeting on September 16, 2021, at Shamble Library with the Historic
Southside Neighborhood Association to present development concepts and officially kick-off the project.
The FWHFC and LDC met on September 21 to consider the sale of properties to the developer and
finalize terms of proposed private -public partnership, which was approved by both entities.
The anticipated schedule for the proposed rezoning is as follows:
Urban Design Commission Public Hearing — October 21
Zoning Commission Public Hearing — November 10
City Council Public Hearing — December 14
If you have any questions, please contact Daniel Leal, Assistant Director — Development Services, at 817-
392-6214 or Amy Connolly, Assistant Director — Neighborhood Services, at 817-392-7556.
