Site Plan Project Description and Background The applicant is proposing to build a 24 unit apartment complex on this site. The location of the site is on the south side of East Lancaster Avenue, between Tierney Road and East Loop 820. Currently the property is undeveloped and zoned "E" for Neighborhood Commercial. This case has been opened at five (5) Zoning Commission hearings: September 81h Zoning Commission — 30 day continuance in order to meet with neighborhood groups. October 131h Zoning Commission — 30 day continuance to meet with neighborhood groups/personal matters. November loth Zoning Commission — 60 day continuance based on additional time for the holidays, as well as to switch gears on the application from the original request for "C" Medium Density Multifamily to "PD/C" Planned Development with a base of "C" Medium Density Multifamily. January 12th Zoning Commission — 30 day continuance in order to finalize consultations with neighborhood associations & refine required Site Plan for PD. February 9th Zoning Commission — Commission votes to recommend approval of request & attached Site Plan. The PD proposal is intended to address neighborhood concerns and to codify a Site Plan to be attached to the rezoning. The applicant has expressed wanting to provide assurances to the interested neighborhood groups that the development will be of high standards and quality. The attached Site Plan depicts a couple of two (2) story buildings featuring interior halls, as well as landscaped areas, parking, and supporting infrastructure (gates, sidewalks, dumpster enclosure). The proposed complex would be built in a single phase, and would not have an on -site leasing or amenity center. A summary of variances to the "C" standards can be found below: Requested zoning PD-C - Project will comply with the Multifamily Design Standards in Section 4.711 Medium Density Multifamily "C" District with the exception of: open Space, Front Yard setback, Building Orientation and Landscaping Points Revision. City Ordinance requirements in RED Open Space Project will have minimum of 22% Open Space. 45% required in "C" zoning Front Yard Setback Project will be allowed a variable front yard setback with a minimum 10'-4" setback along the top 20' front setback western border and up to 31'- 3 1/2" on the bottom eastern border as shown on the site plan. in "C" zoning Building Orientation Due to the site constraints, the shortest portion of the building will face the ROW rather than the longest side. The building end facing the ROW will have the same exterior quality to the building facade as provided on the longest portion including architecture, masonry and fenestration. Longest side of building to face the street when not site - constrained Landscaping Project will comply with Section 6.301 Landscaping with the exception that points can be met with street trees (10 pts), sustainable landscaping (5 pts) and five additional trees beyond the existing landscape requirements (5 pts) for a total of 20 points Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses North "E" Neighborhood Commercial / automobile repair shop East "E" Neighborhood Commercial / mobile home park South "A-5" One Family / residential West "C" Medium Density Multifamily / apartments Recent Zoning History • ZC-11-030: City Council -initiated zoning change request intended to align the existing land uses and zoning. Approved by City Council on April 5, 2011. Public Notification 300-foot Legal Notifications were mailed on December 30, 2021. The following organizations were emailed on December 28, 2021: Organizations Notified Neighborhoods of East Fort Worth Fort Worth ISD Central Meadowbrook NA* Handley NA Streams And Valleys Inc. Trinity Habitat for Humanity East Fort Worth, Inc. Historic Handley Development Corporation Southeast Fort Worth Inc East Fort Worth Business Association * Located closest to this registered Neighborhood Association Development Impact Analysis Land Use Compatibility 0 7 The adjacent surrounding land uses are primarily residential, ranging from standard garden apartments on the west, mobile homes to the east, and larger lot single-family to the south. An unimproved portion of Panola Avenue right-of-way abuts the southern boundary of the site. With current bus routes on the Lancaster Avenue corridor, and future plans to expand transit capacity, this site would be highly attractive for the development of higher density residential and/or workforce housing. The proposed zoning change is compatible with surrounding land uses. Comprehensive Plan Consistency — Eastside The 2021 Comprehensive Plan currently designates the subject property as future Neighborhood Commercial. Neighborhood Commercial accommodates multifamily residential, like the current proposal.

Economic Development Plan East Lancaster corridor is identified in the 2017 Economic Development Strategic Plan as a target area for investment. The plan calls for the City of Fort Worth to provide public resources and support in these target areas in order to promote and facilitate economic development. An excerpt of the plan is included for reference: Site Plan Comments Zoning and Land Use All comments have been addressed. TARGET AREA: EAST LANCASTER FIGURE 7. EAST LANCASTER SNAPSHOT - - --. -------------- • a OVERVIEW INDICATOR Total area (acres) VALUE 1,038 Dominant zoning district, Single Family A,5 31% Total residents 17,637 Median household income $29,331 Inbound commuters (work in areal 2,513 Outbound commuters (live in area) 1,366 NCTCOG forecast (labs addedl 3,049 FA growth target (lobs added) 6,708 Urban Villages Plan Yes Neighborhood Empowerment Lane Yes PID District No TIF District No East Lancaster is a primarily residential area dominated by Hispanic or Latino residents who earn just over half of the city median household income. East Lancaster has the most incentive zones that overlop the target area's boundaries. Three NEZ zones are present within the target area- Evans and Rosedale NEZ, Evans and Rosedale NEZ, and Historic Handley NEZ. The target area also includes parts of two Urban Villages: Oakland Corners and Near East Side. It also borders three Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts, but does is not directly within a TIF district. However, the area faces more challenges than any other target, except for Stop Six. Several challenges to improvement exist for this target. Significant new business investment and employment growth within the area is not likely within the next 5 tall years. Additionally, the unique geography of area (long and narrow), encompasses such diverse territory that it could be treated as three distinct zones. A concentration of homeless services in two- thirds of the area also presents a challenge, not only for current businesses, but for the attraction of new business. PRIMARY CONSIDERATIONS • Prioritize public investments where the improvements will have the greatest economic benefit, and focus on supporting new and existing business utilizing the help of local partners and incentives zones. • Target East Lancaster for mixed -use projects, taking advantage of the Urban Villages in the area, and utilizing up -zoning where needed. Focus on nodes with existing businesses {e.g., Beech Street and Oakland Blvd). • Address transportation infrastructure and housing issues. East Lancaster should be better connected to major employment nodes and educational and training opportunities. Efforts should also focus on ways to create higher -density, more affordable housing for area residents. FORT NORTH® ZC-21-148 Area Zoning Map Applicant: Espire Enterprises, LLC Address: 5220 E.
