PE. RPLS OWNER LAKEI FLA70 Panther Island - Fart Worth, TX 2 PANTHER ISLAND STRATEGIC VISION BACKGROUND & CONTEXT PANTHER ISLAND STRATEGIC VISION UPDATE In 2023, the Panther Island Steering Committee, which includes the public and civic stakeholders leading planning and implementation, embarked on a mission to update the vision for Panther Island. This process was sparked by the recent influx of federal funding to build the Trinity River bypass channel, an ambitious flood -control project which will help mitigate flooding in the region and will unlock extensive development potential on Panther Island. The goal of the steering committee was to create an updated strategic vision that focuses on the physical and design aspects of the plan and also to gain a deeper understanding of real estate economics, funding, financing, implementation strategies and aspirations to 'do it right'. Throughout the year, the team engaged numerous stakeholders, including landowners, community members from surrounding neighborhood and across the city, real estate and civic organizations, and others to gather valuable feedback, ideas, and desires to shape this document. The resulting document is the fruit of these efforts —a strategic vision and framework that centers on the design and planning of Panther Island's physical environment. Encompassing streets, parcels, open spaces, buildings, water, and mobility, the vision proposes a district that prioritizes people. It takes into accountthe intricate relationship between land ownership, infrastructure, and development phasing to outline a realistic approach in alliance with the economics and funding for building out Panther Island. Fundamentally, this document serves as a guide rather than a legally adopted regulating plan. It offers recommendations to guide the design and implementation of public and private investments on Panther Island, providing insights into the vision's benefits and suggesting additional work to come to keep advancing the exciting momentum and collaboration. Furthermore, the document outlines recommendations for updating the legal development regulations that set the standards for Panther Island's development. This strategic vision emerges as a dynamic road map, laying the groundwork for a renewed and well -planned district, fostering sustainable development. Please visit the 'Panther Island - Real Estate, Economic Development, and Implementation Strategy' document for additional information related to those topics. LAKE I F L.ATO Panther Island - FertWerth, TX VISION SUMMARY PANTHER ISLAND STRATEGIC VISION UPDATE The updated strategic vision for Panther Island is characterized by a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to creating a vibrant and sustainable community. The focal points of this vision include a distributed and connected open space network, featuring both active and passive public spaces at various scales with unique programming. Ensuring continuous public waterfront access is a priority, with signature waterfront public spaces and pathways along the canals and entire waterfront. The integration of interior neighborhood public spaces, coupled with intimate and active canals equipped with district stormwater strategies, adds a dynamic dimension to the urban landscape. The introduction of a new bypass channel and pocket parks, along with the development of the interior Panther Island Lake, further enriches the project's environmental features. A key emphasis is placed on creating a 'I 5-minute city' with a walkable and connected pedestrian environment, supported by an efficient and connected road network that strengthens the urban grid. The plan envisions robust publictransportation and transit -oriented development, promoting multi -modal access forthe community. Distinctive street designs and experiences, coupled with access to effective bike routes, contribute to a diverse and accessible transportation infrastructure and easy access to daily necessities and services. With public and private developable land, the design incorporates neighborhood and public amenity anchors, iconic architecture, and a phased implementation approach. The vision aims to seamlessly connect to surrounding neighborhoods and communities, incorporate cultural and historic icons, and ensure a mix of uses, building typologies, heights, and densitythat catertothe communityand economic market needs. The overarching theme of the vision for Panther Island is one of inclusivity and welcoming design, fostering a sense of community and diversity within the urban fabric.

The Panther Island Pavilion contributes vibrancy by hosting events like "Rockin' the River," where attendees float on the water during concerts. Yet the full potential of the Trinity river as a resource remains under-utilized; existing public open space internal to Panther Island consists of mainly passive, recreational, and occasional active experiences with limited programmed spaces. Accessibility also poses a challenge, with issues reaching the river from Downtown, Samuels Ave, and the Northside. Despite the appeal of walking, running, biking, or horseback riding, the serene trails and riverfront are often quiet, raising safety concerns, particularly at night.

The second is the flood prevention system internal + to Panther Island - the river, canals, and interior lake which G help capture internal runoff. Once a major flood event is I` detected, the bypass channel I \ I floodgates close and route all I \ I regional floodwaters away from ! 1 the district. Simultaneously, the canals capture runoff from Panther Island and direct it to NORTH ISLAND -25C ACRES the interior lake and riverwhich hold this stormwater until it can be discharged.

Long a place that people passed through on their way to somewhere else, Panther Island will become a destination that connects opportunities for building community, home, and career - all in one place. DISCOVERY Panther Island is a place to discover Fort Worth - encountering the city's culture, ecology, and community around every corner. Through the great feat of removing and overcoming massive barriers to reconnect people to the Trinity River and to their environment, the Panther Island project invites people to rediscover their city. Rz, OPPORTUNITY Panther Island embraces the past while building for the future. Deeply rooted in the city of Fort Worth's historic =� industries, Panther Island's heritage will serve as an authentic foundation for the A ONE -OF -A -KIND WATERFRONT DISTRICT NESTLED IN THE TRINITY RIVER The development of Panther Island will be an unprecedented transformation of a large growing city. Levees will be removed, and a resilient, vibrant, and water -oriented district will take their place. The transformation will restore the public's access to the river and create a new channel, lakes, and canals, enabling a wide variety of waterfront experiences and development opportunities. 041 A DESTINATION CONNECTING AND COMPLEMENTING VIBRANT SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS Panther Island will become a place people come to, instead of just passing through. Panther Island will connect and complement Downtown, the Cultural District, the Stockyards, and Northside by offering synergistic uses and honoring the Look and feel of the surrounding neighborhoods. The island WILL add to the energy of Downtown Fort Worth by seamlessly connecting surrounding neighborhoods via the reimagined road network, pedestrian bridges, robust mobility and transit access, and distributed open space network, and drawing new residents, businesses, and visitors to the core of Fort Worth. LAKE FLATCO oz A HAVEN OF DIVERSE PARKS, GREEN SPACES, AND EXPERIENCES AROUND EVERY CORNER Panther Island will be home to numerous green spaces with distinct sizes, identities, and programs, connected to one another by trails, canals, and walkable streets. Along the river Panther Island will bring Fort Worth its first urban, highly - programmed waterfront open space that will be a gathering place for the city and region. 051 A CELEBRATION OF FORT WORTH'S DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND HERITAGE Panther Island will celebrate the cultural richness and diversity of Fort Worth, showcasing and supporting the arts, culture, and cuisine of legacy communities such as Northside, while welcoming diverse newcomers and influences. The history of the island's industries and communities will be visible in signage, structures, and public art throughout the district, honoring the past as an authentic foundation for growth. With accessibility a core feature of all amenities, the island will be a place for everyone to enjoy. 03 A MIXED -USE NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGNED TO BUILD COMMUNITY Panther Island will be Fort Worth's first purpose-built district for dense, urban, pedestrian -friendly living. Characterized by walkable streets, inviting buildings, and a diverse mix of uses that energize the district, this will be a place that's built for people first and foremost. Panther Island WILL have office, residential, and commercial spaces, with an emphasis on opportunities for small businesses and cultural institutions, and abundant green space and recreational facilities. The district framework will foster a sense of connection and discovery, offering access to nature, culture, community, and play. 061 AN ECONOMIC DRIVER SUSTAINING THE RAPID GROWTH OF FORT WORTH The development of Panther Island is a unique collaboration of public and private investment unparalleled among comparable U.S. cities. Panther Island's size, proximity to downtown, and the abundance of public land create a rare opportunity to utilize public land to channel private investment. That investment will build an inclusive community and intensify the economy, attracting high -paying jobs and opportunities for residents. The development will bolster Fort Worth's ability to compete on the regional and national stage to attract and retain talent. Panther Island will not only help capture the rapid population growth of Fort Worth but build the economic opportunity and amenities to sustain it.

There will be several pocket parks distributed at intervals along its length. This valuable public open space will need to be easily accessible from Panther Island and surrounding neighborhoods. • A new system of canals is planned to provide a river walk type experience for pedestrians. The canals will enhance connectivity and create a unique water -focused identity for the new district. • The current Form Based Code plan shows minimal public open space offerings interior to Panther Island compared to the scale of overall development. • The current Form Based Code has minimal and conflicting guidelines regarding public open space along the district's waterfront.

Public elevators may be needed to traverse this height difference. • Deep canals will pose challenges to adjacent developments which may struggle to engage both the canals and the street life above. The proposed grading plan puts the height difference between the canal -side pedestrian path and the street level anywhere from 5'-6" to 12'-6". • Certain canal -road intersections in the Form Based Code plan propose bridges which are too low and will make the canal non - navigable for most types of watercraft and hinder continuous pedestrian movement alongside the canal. • The Form Based Code guidelines provide limited information for all public waterfront spaces on the island. LAKE I FLATO PTQCi-de continuous puDLic access to Me--watertront. Propose new river and interior lake boundary consistent with this document and design to capture any additional flood storage. Revisit waterway edge conditions to showcase various typologies for canals, river, and lake that promote flexible and clear design conditions for pedestrian friendly and engaging experiences. Edge conditions need to be reflected in future illustrative plan. Reevaluate proposed topography and elevations across the island with a strong prioritization of public realm design, experience, and development implications. Reexamine the proposed topography related elevation challenges of the canals. All canal and road intersections will need to be carefully designed to provide adequate connectivity and accessibility while being efficient and cost effective. The non -navigable canal locations will also need to be revisited with their implications for pedestrian and watercraft connectivity in mind. Revise the road network to eliminate any unnecessary regrading and review the need for vehicular access to the bypass channel pocket parks that cause elevation issues to adjacent properties. Imagine a future for the waterfront that preserves the special conditions, uses, and events that are enjoyed today like the Panther Island Pavilion, horseback riding, and Rockin' the River event. Update the Form Based Code and canal standards with more detailed sections to include all relevant dimensions, elevations, and additional design conditions. Use the waters edge condition typologies presented in this document as design inspiration for updating future guidelines and codes. • Assess the allowed access, experience, and safety of watercraft in and around Panther Island. The regulation of and interactions between private motorized boats, water taxis, paddle boards, and kayaks will need to be carefully considered as will the potential for a marina on the Island. • All future documents regulating canal design guidelines should be cross referenced with the TRVA canal standards. LAKEIFLATO i. PROPOSED TOPOGRAPHY ALONG WATERFRONT CONDITIONS (BASED ON FORM BASED CODE PLAN) WATERWAY DESIGN & ACTIVATION PREVIOUSLY P FORM BASED CODE PLC There are three distinct waterfront conditions on Panther Island which have their own topographical considerations: 1) The Bypass Channel edge - The flood wall along the bypass channel is taller than the adjacent grade of the island. Properties along the bypass channel will have to negotiate this grade change and create access to the bypass channel promenade on the other side of the flood wall. 2) Lake and rivers edge conditions - this condition is very flexible in how it negotiates grade change down to the river and presents an opportunity for a variety of waterfront experiences. 3) The Canals - The paths along the canals need to allow pedestrian interaction between both the water and the adjacent development. The creation of active edges along the canal that are not vertically separated from the pedestrian path is vital to the success of the canal system.

The road network also creates blocks that are oversized for a walkable and active urban district. • Street sections proposed by the Form Based Code don't seem to address goals for the district today leading to inefficient streets and insufficient space allocated for pedestrian or bicycle zones. The transmission lines on the island will also need to be incorporated into any updated street sections with correct buffers and maintenance access. The Form Based Code does not provide enough information on the proposed pedestrian -only view corridors. The pedestrian network proposed by the Form Based Code is sufficient in some areas but unclear or deficient in others. Existing pedestrian bridges from TCC to the north and south island may be subject to removal & replacement pending future water level and lake design Potential pedestrian bridge from Heritage Park is desired but location and funding is TBD. The proposed bike network outlined in the Form Based Code is a valuable initial step, yet achieving a genuinely bike -friendly district will necessitate additional connectivity measures. The minimal transit currently available on Panther Island is the route 15 bus through the north island and route 46 bus through south island. There are plans to re -brand route 15 to promote ridership and connection between downtown and the stockyards The internal street car loop proposed by the Form Based Code may not be a viable transit mode for a size and scale of district. • There are aspirations from Trinity Metro and the community for a high - capacity urban route to connect downtown to The Stockyards & Northside Station. Exact route location TBD. • The current grading plan is raising parts of the island to accommodate vehicle access and parking to the elevated pocket parks by the bypass channel flood wall and ensuring pedestrians have enough space under bridges at road -canal intersections. This is creating issues like unfriendly pedestrian environments and public realm design. • The city is working on an updated Master Thoroughfare Plan in collaboration with TxDOT, Trinity Metro, COG and other partners. LAKE I F LATO Panther Island - FertWerth, TX • Position Panther Island as the connective tissue between the surrounding neighborhoods and create robust links incorporating various mobility modes between Downtown, the Northside, Samuels Ave, the Cultural District and beyond. • Adjust the road and view corridor network proposed by the Form Based Code (FBC) to provide more efficient traffic flow, connect streets to all open spaces, create appropriately -sized development parcels, better connect to NE corner parcels above of 7th St, and support various kinds of mobility. Ensure that the road alignments and street sections detailed in this document serve as essential references for updating the FBC and other design guidelines to create comfortable streets for people, planting, and mobility. - �A�9. V • Develop clear guidelines relating to the design and location of access easements. m The locations for access easements in this document are approximate and should be positioned related to the maximum block length regulated by the Form Based Code which needs to be increased to not require excessive access easements. • Provide continuous public access for pedestrians and cyclists along the waterfront and canal system. = y• • Use the proposed locations in this document to provide safe north -south pedestrian and cycling corridors adjacent to N Main Street and use suggested pedestrian bridge locations to connect the Island to the surrounding neighborhoods. • Analyze the potential transit routes proposed in this document and determine the appropriate alignment and mode. Street sections will need to be designed with these transit routes in mind. Coordinate efforts with the future Master Transportation Plan. • Right of Way dedication needed in select locations to capture desired street typologies. Further study and coordination needed with street design to determine best path forward. • Rename White Settlement Road to Panther Boulevard or similar. • Remove river road underneath N Main St bridge adjacent to downtown and TCC to allow for a natural landscape edge. Further study needed on viability and need for river road along the lower eastern bluff edge. • Revise the road network to eliminate any unnecessary regrading that creates unfriendly street frontage experiences with elevated parcels adjacent to existing roads. Review the need for vehicular access to the bypass channel pocket parks that cause elevation issues to adjacent properties. LAKE IFL ATO y- r' 1' ' ,w a. rr 1ryr�43 ;mil - _. -� W~ 1. A-w- OV.

Notably, downtown Fort Worth and Portland, Oregon share similar block sizes, featuring small and porous blocks that contribute to a distinctive urban structure. These Mock sizes promote a compact and walkable city, but have size issues as it relates to having an above grade garage that is fronted with usable program space which encourages below grade garage construction. 210 FORT WORTH / PORTLAND BLOCKS ON PANTHER ISLAND TYPICAL PORTLAND/FTW BLOCK 200' 60' 200' BLOCK R.O.W.

Building upon the existing form -based code, attention has been given to address concerns associated with larger blocks in specific areas. By strategically adjusting and incorporating access easements, the aim is to further enhance the pedestrian experience while also introducing select vehicular porosity. These interventions not only break down blocks into more manageable sizes but also foster connectivity and permeability within the urban fabric, promoting a more vibrant and accessible built environment.

The parcels along these designated streets - N Main Street, 4th Street, and Panther Blvd, would be required to gain parking access from adjacent side streets or through access easements. Additionally, it's recommended that parking garage entrances off the ring road and select location on Panther Blvd be limited as much as possible if parking access if achievable elsewhere. qC� SBO y� ITE > ,AENT k .

Greater flexibility should be considered in future regulatory approaches. • The Form Based Code designates tower zones on the island, but this approach may Lack the necessary flexibility to adapt to market dynamics. The emphasis on views from the proposed towers seems to take precedence over a comprehensive evaluation of factors influencing height and bulk, and considerations related to both on - and off -island adjacencies. • The current maximum height proposed by the Form Based Code may need to be adjusted to create a true transition zone from downtown to surrounding neighborhoods. • The Form Based Code currently does not allow any single story buildings on the island. These sorts of structures are vital to creating a human scaled district that feels authentic and organic. • Panther Island currently Lacks a catalytic type program or development beyond the water concerts that actively engages the surrounding community and encourages visiting. • Panther Island has two major existing sites: the TXU Historic Power Plant and LaGrave field which are worth evaluating their future. • The power plant is a historically and architecturally significant building but is currently in a challenging Location on the island. Access to the building is Limited by the N Main Street bridge and the Levee. Nevertheless the site has great potential to be a significant anchor on the island. Existing Limitations at the site may affect the development timeline for this parcel even though it is within the boundaries of the Levees. Shorter term temporary activation methods may need to be considered for this area. • LaGrave field is the former home of the minor League baseball team the Fort Worth Cats. Sadly, the field has been unused for the Last decade and since being abandoned and has fallen into severe disrepair.

The island will feature a mix of restaurants, stores, spaces for art, places for music, and other attractions and venues to foster activity and draw people in. Yet there will also be all the essential programs for every day life such as grocery stores, offices, residences, schools, gyms, and libraries. The density of the district should be aimed at creating a unique and Livable urban environment without overshadowing the Northside or resembling a new downtown. IR% LAKEI FLATO Panther Island - FertWerth, TX 126 BUILDING TYPOLOGIES ON PANTHER ISLAND PROGRAM & DENSITY DISTRIBUTION Panther Island envisions a diverse range of building typologies, encompassing everything from townhomes to towers. This broad spectrum of structures not only accommodates various program use preferences but also fosters opportunities for a diverse mix of people, businesses, and experiences. The goal is to strike a balance, harmonizing the density required for a vibrant urban district with the preservation of a human -scaled public realm. ra L.

These types of buildings are well -suited restaurants and food & beverage offerings that contribute to the creation of an active human -scaled environment. Lower scale residential offerings Like townhome walk- ups with stoops and front doors engaging the streets help break down the scale of Larger and taller residential buildings. Other types of uses could be office or civic focused Like Libraries, museum, fire station, community centers, etc. Additionally, single -story buildings offer a low -cost -of -entry option for early -stage development, presenting the flexibility to density in the future if desired by the market and community.

OPPORTUNITY: • The power plant has the potential to become an iconic site, not just for Panther Island, but all of Fort Worth. It's adjacency to downtown, the proximity to the river, and the historic character of the building, all give the city an amazing opportunity to create something truly memorable. • The redevelopment of this site could catalyze development the southern end of Panther Island and give that area a unique identity and purpose of its own within the Larger district. RECOMMENDATION: • In the short term, develop strategies to create temporary activation around the power plant to draw people to the area and signal that change is coming. • In the Long term, strategically place road infrastructure to disrupt the pedestrian experience of the site as little as possible and allow a seamless open space connection to the river. • Develop future plans for the site with the understanding of the power plant's potential to create an iconic gateway moment for Panther Island.

Initiatives like pop-up events such as farmers' markets, concerts, festivals or temporary food truck plazas and art installations are viable options to draw people to the site, offering a dynamic and impermanent means of engagement until long-term development becomes feasible. l 1K EI FLATo LA GRAVE FIELD - CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES DEVELOPMENT ZONES & PHASING CHALLENGES: • The deteriorated condition of the stadium makes its reuse potentially challenging. • The stadium is a large land user that could disrupt the creation of an urban district. • There is no operating partner currently identified, and the facility itself is not likely to be a draw in attracting anchor users. OPPORTUNITY: • The location of La Grave Field and its public ownership creates the potential for a proportion of the site to be the public space anchor of the NE quadrant of Panther Island • Slimming down the public use portion of the site creates development potential and the opportunity to create value for the public and private Land holdings. C7x1181111IA�ULZr�[�P►R • Demolish existing facility to position the site for future use while reducing ongoing costs • Create a public space for all that celebrates the site's historical and cultural significance. • Seek competitive proposals for redevelopment when strategically advisable.

LAKE FLATO LAND OWNERSHIP & INFRASTRUCTURE KEY OBSERVATIONS &CONSTRAINTS LAND OWNERSHIP & INFRASTRUCTURE • The existing water main on north island can remain but needs to be rebuilt at canal crossings when phasing requires it. • The existing wastewater main on the north island needs to be rebuilt to capture long term development capacity and work with the future construction and elevations of the canals. Timing of construction depends on various physical and financial situations. • The existing wastewater main on the south island will be rerouted with the construction of the bypass channel and the wastewater Lines will be rebuilt in accordance with the new road alignments. • The existing and future stormwater lines will drain and connect with the nearby canal network. The canal network acts as the district wide Panther Island stormwater network and detention system. Stormwater is to be treated on site before being released to the canal network. Once levees are removed canal network can be connected to rivers. • Timing of canal construction depends on development zone, land ownership type, available infrastructure capacity, and timing of new wastewater main on north island. More explained in 'Development Discovery' section. • Recently built transmission lines in the levees to remain and be Location within new 'ring road.' • Existing transmission lines on the west side of north island to be rerouted to new ring road and future White Settlement (Panther Blvd) bridge crossing pending their construction timing and approval from Oncor. More conversations with Oncor needed to confirm plan. L. AKEI FLATO Panther Island - Fart Worth, TX 140 • Future analysis needed to confirm relocation of western transmission Line and route within north island ring road and Panther Blvd that connects to existing Lines along White Settlement Rd. • Further investigation needed on the power Line situated on southeastern edge of north island and its capability to be rerouted and / or buried to align better with new framework plan before it crosses overhead across the river to downtown. • Study needed to confirm and finalize preferred waste water infrastructure sewer main type to allow for funding and construction to begin. • Discussion with Union Pacific Railroad and additional study needed on the ideal open space Location for the western most waterfront greenspace on the north island fronting Panther Lake. • Additional analysis needed on TRWD Leased Land adjacent to the bypass channel and its impact on the future development Logistics on the affected parcels.

LAKE I FL-A-ra ,.= • Reference explanations of each development zone to understand the overall purpose and logistics behind the phasing of Panther Island. • Continue to update and evolve development sequencing timeline based on construction timing of bypass channel and levee removal. • Further study needed on development zones and phasing pending the completion of the bypass channel and levee removal. Once the Central City project is complete and levees are removed it opens up many different timing scenarios within zones 2-4 pending completed infrastructure and funding available. • Due to complicated infrastructure, internal flooding, and land ownership logistics the south island is recommended to develop after the completion of the bypass channel and levee removal. • Parcel in zone 1 north of the historic power plant can be used for interim temporary activation until levees are removed and power plant is renovated.

Additionally, two segments of the canal system can be built to fulfill stormwater detention needs for all zone 1 development. Land ownership is a mix of public and private. IMPACT: Zone 1 will generate energy along N Main St, marking the first "four corners" of new development at the intersection of Main Street and 4th Street. This zone offers a high -impact, low investment option for the first phase of development on the island. MZONE 3 CONSTRAINTS: Zone 3 becomes available for new development only after the canal system in Zone 2B is complete This area also has the highest concentration of existing buildings, some of which potentially have historical significance. Almost all the land here is privately owned. IMPACT: Zone 3 marks the culmination of potential near - term development within the levee system, infusing significant energy into N Main Street and contributing to the comprehensive growth of the area. REFERENCE PAGE 152 FOR APPROXIMATE SEQUENCING AND TIMELINE FOR ZONES LAKE I FLATO = ZONE 2A/2B CONSTRAINTS: Zone 2 is poised for near -term development, contingent on the installation of the new wastewater main and canal construction. To meet stormwater detention needs, several new canal segments will need to be constructed. This area has been divided into two sub -zones due to the sizable investment required by the canal infrastructure in this area and the likelihood that build -out will need to be completed over two phases. Most of the land in this zone is publicly owned. I M PACT: Zone 2 will build upon the energy of Zone 1, connect additional canals, and generate public space activity interior to the district with two new open space offerings along the canal system. The completion of Zone twill unlock the build -out of Zone 3 - an area of the island within the levee system lacking its own canal segment, and thus relying on Zone 2's canals for its stormwater requirements. ZONE 4 CONSTRAINTS: Zone 4 consists of all the development parcels within Panther Island that will not become available for development until the levees are dismantled. Once the levee system is removed then the development of these parcels could happen when desired by land owners, market conditions, ability to connect to the river, and available canal network for stormwater requirements. I M PACT: Zone 4 represents a significant future phase in the expansion and transformation of Panther Island. Zone 4 will likely be built out in several phases, the sequencing of which will emerge as the project evolves. This zone of development will introduce the major waterfront open spaces, the redevelopment of the power plant site, and the establishment of Fort Worth's deep connection to the waterfront.

If parcels along the levee were allowed to develop today, the result would be undesirable as it is likely that these parcels would develop with back -of -house uses facing the levee, and later, the desired active and unique ring road. This issue has been factored into the phasing strategy of the island. Reference section 5 for more information.

PE. RPLS OWNER INTRODUCTION PANTHER ISLAND'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY Panther Island is a once -in -a -generation city -building opportunity for Fort Worth to amplify the energy of its urban core and surrounding neighborhoods. It Is a critical link that consists of around 330 acres of underutilized public and private land in the city's core. This is an opportunity to create meaningful physical and community connections between some of Fort Worth's most vibrant neighborhoods. Given Fort Worth's rapid growth, with population surging by 24% from 2010 to 2020, Panther Island offers a new development ground for the city. As the Central City Flood Control Project is completed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to protect vital Fort Worth neighborhoods and position Panther Island as a core economic development opportunity, the redevelopment of Panther Island will move forward. The construction of the bypass channel will not only reduce flood risk and create the possibility to embrace the Trinity River waterfront through levee removal, but It will also unlock significant land for development on Panther Island. A once -neglected, industrial section of the Trinity River will be transformed into a vibrant neighborhood with green spaces bustling with activity and opportunities for Living, working, shopping, connecting, and playing. In 2023, the Panther Island Steering Committee, which includes the public and civic stakeholders Leading planning and implementation, embarked on a mission to update the vision for Panther Island. This process was sparked by the recent influx of federal funding to build the Trinity River bypass channel, an ambitious flood -control project which will help mitigate flooding in the region and will unlock extensive development potential on Panther Island. The Steering Committee engaged a consulting team consisting of HR&A Advisors, Lake Flato, and a supporting team to create an updated strategic vision that focuses on the physical and design aspects of the plan and also to gain a deeper understanding of real estate economics, funding, financing, and implementation strategies. This document addresses the latter, including themes such as: The Generational Economic Development Opportunity of Panther Island State of the Real Estate Market: A project of the scale and centrality of Panther Island needs to be responsive to the ever -changing conditions of the economy and real estate market conditions. To factor in these changes in the updated strategic vision, the consultant team examined existing documents, such as the City of Fort Worth Economic Development Strategic Plan, the City of Fort Worth Comprehensive Plan, and the Downtown Fort Worth Plan 2033. Real Estate Strategy: The successful development of Panther Island requires attracting significant real estate development interest, strategically deploying publicly owned property for development, and providing the public infrastructure necessary to serve the development of the scale and quality envisioned in the Strategic Vision. • Phasing Drivers &Approach: Over the multi -decade development of Panther Island, the public and private partners and stakeholders will need to be flexible and nimble to be able to respond to opportunities and conditions that are not always predictable, but an approach to phasing can help guide public and private investment in a way that seeks to take advantage of early momentum, balance cost and benefit, and effectively manage the sequencing and timing of infrastructure costs and land disposition. • Funding & Financing: Clearly articulating the shared benefits of a well -developed Panther Island, not just for private investors but for the entire community, can help garner support for a balanced funding approach. • Project Governance & Coordinating Structure: Panther Island demands an approach to governance that creates the alignment of mission, powers, and capacities to deliver upon the vision. • Community & Equitable Development: A variety of engagement approaches allowed the team to collect important input from key stakeholders and the broader public, with a focus on the communities on and surrounding Panther Island who may be most impacted by the development. • Next Steps for Planning & Implementation: Continuing the momentum from this report and managing the Panther Island project towards successful implementation in the coming years will require consistent planning, policy making, partnership development, community engagement, property disposition, and other activities. This report will point to the key factors that influence the development process on Panther Island. Factors include influencing the development process, the intersection of utilities and urban design, economic viability, phasing, governance, and community involvement. PANTHER ISLAND: A GENERATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY PANTHER ISLAND'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY In 2004, the Trinity Uptown Plan for the area now known as Panther Island proposed to "promote mixed -use family -oriented development in this area" and "[join] a North American city movement that is finding strategies to reconnect citizens and downtowns with their riverfronts." The wait for federal flood infrastructure funding for the investment necessary to unlock real estate and economic development of Panther Island significantly delayed Fort Worth's initial plans for Panther Island. Now, with infrastructure funding secured, the Panther Island project will begin at a critical moment in the development of Fort Worth's economy. As Fort Worth leads Texas in rapid population growth, Panther Island will be one of the final signature developments in the urban core that defines community, identity, and economic opportunity for the next generation of Fort Worthians. (1) Today, Fort Worth is at a critical juncture of planning how to capture projected growth while attracting employers that will grow, strengthen, and sustain the economy along with the growing population. This is an opportunity to secure investment. The Dallas -Fort Worth -Arlington metro area is one of the fastest growing regions in the country. The region's economic opportunities, cultural diversity and attractions, and relative affordability in cost of Living are attracting new residents from across the country and the world. Fort Worth was the fastest growing city in Texas from 2020-2023, a trend that has been reflected in the increasing pace of housing production. (2) Panther Island is one of the last untapped development opportunities in the urban core of Fort Worth. Unlocking investment in Panther Island requires an inspiring vision, quality infrastructure, and an urban fabric that can foster density and a people -scaled district. The Strategic Vision will help make possible activation and development of at least 193 acres that otherwise are likely to remain underutilized. The scale and centrality of the project has very few precedents in major cities and poses a huge opportunity for the city and region to intentionally build a district for the future of Fort Worth. (3) Panther Island sits at the crossroads of an incredibly dynamic and diverse set of neighborhoods and destinations, including Downtown, Northside, the Stockyards, and the Cultural District. Panther Island can knit these places together and complement them with new experiences, offerings, and increased vitality — creating a unique synergy between neighborhoods in Fort Worth. (4) With 383 acres of public land holdings*, Panther Island can set a new standard for public - private partnerships and equitable real estate development. The project provides many opportunities to purposefully leverage public land to build community, reduce economic disparity, and bring new opportunities to the people of Fort Worth. CONNECTIONS TO FORT WORTH'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES The City of Fort Worth's first economic development plan was written in 2017. Since then, the city has grown rapidly, with major developments and investments such as the Dickies Arena, the TCU School of Medicine, and major progress on the further development of the Stockyards. The 2022 update to the City's Economic Development Strategic Plan addresses the effects of COVID-19 on the economy and real estate, growing opportunities for real estate development, and the importance of equitable *This does not inctude tand dedicated as pubtic ROW (56 acres) workforce development. The development of Panther Island presents an opportunity for the City to deliver on many of its economic development goals, especially supporting large-scale public -private partnerships, building capacity and opportunities for local businesses, attracting new anchors in target industries (especially culture and anchors and innovators), and leveraging the equitable development of real estate to reduce disparities. INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK Adopt an investment framework to drive public -private development projects, align City incentives to create new jobs and private sector investment, and build capacity in Fort Worth businesses. As the largest scale public -private project in Fort Worth, Panther Island can set a national standard for leveraging public assets to attract private investment, developing a place that economically, socially, and culturally benefits the whole region. • Focus on attracting anchors that provide a range of job opportunities. • The ample real estate available on Panther Island creates opportunities to attract major employers for two of the City's target sectors: Anchors & Innovators and Culture.

STATE OF THE REAL ESTATE MARKET INTRODUCTION Since the City of Fort Worth adopted the Trinity Uptown Plan in 2004, the population and economy of the region and the city have experienced significant growth. The Dallas -Fort Worth -Arlington metro area emerged as the leader in population expansion among metro areas nationwide. From 2009 to 2019, the region exhibited a job growth rate surpassing that of the state. Since 2004, the city's population surged by 55%, with more than 13 million square feet of new developments added, accompanied by an 81% increase in employment. A project of the scale and centrality of Panther Island needs to be responsive to the ever -changing conditions of the economy and real estate market conditions. To factor in these changes in the updated strategic vision, the consultant team examined existing documents, such as the City of Fort Worth Economic Development Strategic Plan, the City of Fort Worth Comprehensive Plan, and the Downtown Fort Worth Plan 2033 (full list of documents can be found in the appendix). Additionally, the team utilized quantitative data sources portraying demographic and development trends over time, such as the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and CoStar. STUDYAREA City of Fart Wnrth .4tnriv AL —a Panther Island Located immediately north of Downtown Fort Worth, Panther Island district of approximately 335 acres, which consists of approximately 146 acres that are considered developable today and an additional 193 acres that will become developable once the Central City Flood Control project is completed and the existing levees are removed. In addition to Downtown, Panther Island is surrounded by several of Fort Worth's most celebrated neighborhoods and districts, including the Stockyards, the Northside, and the Cultural District. Panther Island has a concentration of existing businesses that have been located there for decades. Over the last 15 years, TRWD has acquired land in preparation for the flood control implementation that is now being funded by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Cultural District Located west of downtown, the Cultural District is home to major museums and an array of other cultural venues. Today, the Cultural District is reviving its sporting and performance rootswith the opening of Dickies Arena. Population 3,630 Annual Visitors 2.5 million Northside + Stockyards The Northside + Stockyards area includes the vibrant residential Northside neighborhood and the Fort Worth Stockyards, a historic district centered on a former livestock market. Population 3,690 Annual Visitors 8 million Downtown Downtown is Fort Worth's traditional center of commerce, transportation, government services and hospitalitywith expanding residential development and higher education offerings. Population 9,970 Annual Visitors 12.6 million Employees / Businesses 37,970 / 1,450 STATE OF THE REAL ESTATE MARKET STUDY AREA DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS The population in the study area is experiencing rapid growth, surpassing that of the City of Fort Worth. Over the past 12 years, the Cultural District has nearly tripled in population, driven by new housing development. The neighborhoods around Panther Island reflect the significant diversity of the city and region, but also the racial and socioeconomic divisions prevalent across many center cities. For example, the population north of Panther Island is over 90% Hispanic, while the south and west are less than 10% Hispanic. The socioeconomic gap is widening as affluent populations in Downtown and the Cultural District expand, contrasted by significantly lower incomes in the Stockyards/Northside. The study area also features a distinctive mix of single households and families, with a higher proportion of children compared to similar urban core districts in nearby cities. While residents in the Cultural District and Downtown are predominantly of workforce age, the Stockyards Northside neighborhood stands out with over 70% of its population comprising families, manywith young children. • Population Growth (2010-2022): 53% • Median Household Income: $74K • Median Age: 36 • Workforce Population:37% • Labor Force Participation Rate: 48.6% • Highest Employed Industries o Healthcare:12.5% o Manufacturing:11.6% o Professional/Scientific/Tech:11.5% o Construction:10.2% o Retail Trade: 9.3% Implication for Panther Island: In light of Fort Worth's substantial and continuing population growth, the creation of a distinctive district is crucial to the accommodate not only the individuals propelling the city's economy, but also to engage with and add to the bordering neighborhoods and city overall. Panther Island will provide this growing population with spaces to live, work, and engage in recreational activities. The location of Panther Island amid diverse and culturally rich neighborhoods offers opportunity to reflect, embrace, and welcome all surrounding communities to the future development and activity on Panther Island.
