r SUBJECT: 2010 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMMUNITY MEETING RESULTS
The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council with results from the community meetings
held this fall on the draft 2010 Comprehensive Plan. City staff met with 186 people during eight
meetings, as requested by the various groups (see Exhibit A on page 2).
Staff received the following comments:
• Do not delay the selection of a Locally Preferred Alternative for the Tower 55 mid-term
improvements, since this creates investment uncertainty for property owners and
developers in the Near Southside. If we must choose between the north-south trench and
the east-west trench, select the north-south trench as the Locally Preferred Alternative, but
do it soon.
Staff response: The North Central Texas Council of Governments is working with the
railroads and TxDOT to evaluate the trench options. The City of Fort Worth has
participated in this evaluation and provided comments on the options.
The City should focus more on sustainable development.
Staff response: The Sustainability Task Force is guiding the preparation of a Sustainability
Action Plano Staff will determine ways to effectively communicate sustainability-related
goals and policies, including the Comprehensive Plan brochure, annual progress report,
and City website.
• There are inconsistencies between zoning maps and future land use maps.
Staff response: Petition-based rezoning and Council-initiated rezoning are effective options
for resolving inconsistencies.
The City also held two annexation meetings in Far North Fort Worth where 123 citizens were
briefed on the annexation program for their area. One hundred-fifteen people attended the
meeting for areas in District 2 and District 7. Some attendees expressed strong objections and
some expressed minor concerns about being annexed. Attendees asked questions about the
process and how they would be affected upon annexation. The City Council will consider many
of the areas for annexation in 2010. Eight people attended a special meeting for Area 15-2 in
District 2, which the City Council agreed to consider for annexation in 2013. Attendees
expressed some concern about being annexed, but mainly asked questions about the process
and how they would be affected,
i
in addition, staff has wiled notices to property owners of four small enclaves in Far South and l
Far Southwest Fort earth that their property has been added to the draft Annexation Program for
consideration in 2014. Staff will meet with these property owners upon request.
