Project Description and Background
The subject property is located west of the intersection of Belle Avenue and Northwest 22" d Street. This 6-acre
site is currently vacant and is zoned "A-5" One -Family District. The applicant is proposing to rezone the property
to "R-2" Townhouse/Cluster to allow for development of townhomes. The "R-2" District allows for several
residential land uses that are not allowed by right in the "A-5" District, including townhomes, attached zero lot
line homes, duplexes, and cluster housing.
There is an existing Masonic Lodge building directly to the east of this site, and much of the surrounding property
to the north and west is currently vacant. Nearby properties along Ephriham Avenue and Jacksboro Highway are
zoned commercial and developed with a variety of retail and commercial uses. Northside High School is located
approximately 0.2 miles southeast of this site, and to the northeast is an existing residential subdivision zoned
"A-5" One -Family.
Prior to 2010, this property was zoned a combination of "J" Medium Industrial and "E" Neighborhood
Commercial. In 2010, this site was rezoned to "A-5" One -Family District as part of a larger City -initiated rezoning
that included more than 349 acres of land (case ZC-10-181).

East "CF" Community Facilities / Masonic Lodge; "A-5" One -Family / Single -Family Homes

Recent Zoning History

Development Impact Analysis
E
Land Use Compatibility
The applicant is requesting to change the zoning of this property from "A-5" One -Family to "R-2"
Townhouse/Cluster. Surrounding property immediately southwest of this site is currently vacant and zoned "A-
5" One -Family. Property to the northwest is also vacant, but zoned "E" Neighborhood Commercial. Further west,
along Ephriham Avenue, is additional "E" Neighborhood Commercial zoning and development includes retail
buildings, an auto -supply store, and a medical office.
Immediately east of the subject property at the corner of Belle Avenue and Northwest 22nd Street is an existing
Masonic Lodge building and parking area. To the southeast, along Belle Avenue, are two warehouse buildings
on property zoned "I" Light Industrial. Further south, closer to the Jacksboro Highway frontage, is a mix of
commercial zoning and land uses.
There is an existing residential subdivision zoned "A-5" One -Family to the north of this site, across 22nd Street,
with a few homes also located east of the subject property, across Belle Avenue. However, the majority of these
homes are not oriented towards the subject property and the existing Masonic Lodge building as well as the rights -
of -way for Belle Avenue and 22nd Street separate these residences from the subject property, making higher -
density residential development more appropriate in this location.
The proposed zoning is compatible with surrounding land uses.
Comprehensive Plan Consistency — Northside
The 2021 Comprehensive Plan currently designates the subject property as "Single -Family Residential" on the
Future Land Use Map. "R-2" Townhouse/Cluster is not included in the list of zoning districts envisioned for the
Single -Family Residential category, but rather it is included in the "Low Density Residential" designation.
Rural Residential 1+ acre single-family A-2.5A, A-43
Suburban Residential V2+ 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
Law Density Residential 2,500+ sq, ft. lot single-family, two-family, patio homes, townhouses, g R1, R2
cluster housing
Medium Density Residential Upto 36units/acre multifamily CR, C, D
High Density Residential >36 units/acre multifamily, mixed -use multifamily in growth centers UR, MU-1, MU-2, Form -
Based Codes
Based on conformance with the policies stated above, the proposed zoning is not consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan (technical inconsistency).
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. Six different target areas in Fort Worth were identified and analyzed,
including Near Northside. While the subject property is not located within the boundary of the Near Northside
study area, the portion that extends along Jacksboro Highway stops just south of this site. The Economic
Development Strategic Plan recommends higher -density residential development in Near Northside as described
below:
• Priorities should also include the creation of higher -density, more affordable housing for area residents.
Housing near employment centers and transportation corridors is needed. The area also includes many existing
residential areas that are underutilized and could be redeveloped with the help of the FWHFC and other
partners.
