Data collected to conduct the mobility /transportation safety analysis will include information that positions the CONSULTANT to prepare a subsequent roadway design concept as identified in Task 5.1. 3.4. Market Check-ups. The CONSULTANT will prepare a baseline market analysis that will distinguish between the varying economic characteristics of different corridor segments, including income, retail leakage, vacancies, land/improvement values and more to determine the relative economic health of study area neighborhoods. The market analysis will be organized according to a series of "market check-ups" which define the boundaries of distinct corridor segments and nodes (in conjunction with Task 3.2 activities). Each subarea will include an assessment of target uses and development characteristics prioritizing market viable development that aligns with resident needs. The CONSULTANT may opt to use these defined areas as a guide to subsequent placed -based land -use and mobility concepts and code solutions, and to provide guidance on the type of future investment products and development characteristics that will serve surrounding residents and remain economically viable long-term. 3.5. Infrastructure Lifecycle Analysis. The CONSULTANT will evaluate CITY data on conditions to estimate lifecycle costs of infrastructure, such as water, sewer and transportation for different land use patterns. Information will be used to feed an ArcGIS Urban Base Model (Task 3.6) and overall planning area fiscal diagnosis. 3.6. ArcGIS Urban Base Model. The CONSULTANT will begin the development of the ArcGIS Urban model for anticipated catalytic site concept areas (Task 4.3) that will be utilized as the foundation for this planning process. The CONSULTANT will work with CITY staff to incorporate the necessary data sets and zoning code parameters that will help our team evaluate future development scenarios in the selected conceptual planning areas (Task 4.3). Data that is collected from other Task 2 analyses will be incorporated into the base model to provide timely analysis throughout the planning process. 3.7. Planning Area Diagnosis. Discovery and needs assessment analysis findings will be consolidated for review by the CITY and feedback from the SAC and public. • Diagnostic Memorandum. The CONSULTANT will produce a diagnostic memorandum which is a consolidation of all Task 3 assessment findings including demographic analysis, a summary of trends, fiscal analysis and other information that describes the current conditions of the planning area.

Translation of the existing conditions and needs assessment findings (Task 3) into planning area concepts that strengthen, transform, enhance, and/or preserve the various sub -areas defined in prior project phases. Activities will produce corridor -wide policy recommendations and sub -area concepts (corridor segments and nodes) that serve to create a functionally efficient corridor and desirable community destinations. 4.1. Policy Plan Development. The CONSULTANT will utilize the planning area diagnostic memorandum (Task 3.7) to initiate development of an overall policy plan for the planning area that blends findings from discovery and needs assessment activities (Task 3) with pre-existing CITY policies and other long-range planning documents. Policy plan development will be performed in conjunction with other Task 4 activities and includes the following subtasks: Economic Market Forecast. Previously completed market check-ups (Task 3.4) to determine consumer buying power into future regional real estate development potential by land use. The study area's development potential will be based on the future real estate development potential in the region and the share of regional development that can be captured in the study area. The end -product will be a quantification of the amount, type and character of real estate products that will be supportable within the corridor. Traffic Assessment and Distribution Modeling. The CONSULTANT will work with the CITY to develop a Traffic assessment model based on future land use density and proposed roadway alignments. This assessment will require conducting key weekday AM & PM peak hour turning movement counts at the major cross streets along the corridor in addition to conducting weekday 24-hour traffic counts along the corridor and major thoroughfares within the corridor study area. Modeling will be used to support the subsequent development of a preferred roadway design concept (Task 5). Policy plan recommendations will be incorporated by the CONSULTANT into the final Plan report. (Task 6.3). 4.2. Preliminary Concept Plan. The CONSULTANT will begin development of sub -area specific corridor and nodal concepts in preparation for the Design Workshop (Task 4.3). This "behind the scenes" work will set the spatial parameters for subsequent design workshop activities and code development. Preliminary concept planning sub -tasks will include the following: • Conceptual Planning Area Selection and Programming. With guidance from the planning area diagnostic memorandum (Task 3.7), the CONSULTANT and CITY will identify three (3) planning area locations with the potential to catalyze future and ongoing property investment and reinvestment. City of Fort worth, Texas McCart Avenue Corridor Plan Attachment A 104757 Release Date: 07.22.2021 Page 13 of 24 FORT WORTH. The CONSULTANT will utilize selected planning areas to test and demonstrate potential spatial relationships between new land uses and development, streets, public spaces and environmentally sensitive habitats. Code Framework. The CONSULTANT will prepare a preliminary outline that defines the planned extents of a potential form -based district to replace existing base zoning in targeted planning area segments and nodes. The preliminary code framework will also identify the type and location of other targeted amendments to the CITY's existing land development code necessary to implement preliminary recommendations on planning -area built -form (including roadways and private property). The code framework will align with future development and land categories defined by the CONSULTANT and CITY as a component of the Plan's future scenario planning activities (Task 4.4) The CITY will review and approve proposed conceptual planning areas and the preliminary code framework outline prior to the Design Workshop (Task 4.3) so that the CONSULTANT can prepare workshop exhibits and materials in advance of the event. 4.3. Design Workshop (Trip #4). The CONSULTANT will convene and facilitate a multi -day design workshop (Solutions Workshop) to prepare land use and design plans for the three conceptual planning areas identified by the CONSULTANT and CITY (Task 4.2). Conceptual plan ideas and assumptions will be vetted with the public during the design workshop week and workshop participants will have the opportunity to directly assist in the development of design concepts for planning area segments and nodes. Subtasks include: • Workshop Preparation. The CONSULTANT will coordinate with CITY staff so that they can secure an appropriate venue for all design workshop activities and will prepare necessary advertisement materials for digital distribution and targeted mailing. Design (Solutions) Workshop. Members of the CONSULTANT team will facilitate the design workshop, will prepare planning area and catalytic site concepts within the design studio, and will host citizens during public drop -in hours. The maximum duration of the design workshop may be up to three days (as determined by the CONSULTANT) although a final schedule will be determined only upon approval of the public outreach plan (Task 2.1) and a subsequent logistical evaluation during workshop preparation. Principal design (Solutions) workshop activities/events may include the following: • SAC Work Session and Tour (SAC Meeting #3, Task 2.2). Conceptual planning area overviews, van tour, design and regulatory challenges and opportunities, and hands-on small group design exercises.

Introduce and refine preliminary planning area segment and node design concepts. • Concept Presentation (Public Open House #2, Task 2.4). Reveal draft planning area segment and node design concepts. Catalytic Site Concepts. Beginning with design workshop week activities, the CONSULTANT will review site characteristics and physical design options for up to three (3) catalytic sites within the selected conceptual planning areas and identify extraordinary costs (e.g., environmental remediation, infrastructure and structured parking) that may affect development feasibility. Catalytic site concepts will identify and depict preferred development intensities and form, and associated public spaces, streetscapes, edges and connections. • Roadway Design Concepts. Design workshop week will serve as a starting point for the development of potential roadway design concepts as described in Task 5. 4.4. Concept Plan Refinement and Analysis. The CONSULTANT will prepare post -workshop refinements based on feedback from workshop participants and the CITY. Visual and graphic refinements will be subject to additional analyses that validate the fiscal and market feasibility of final consensus concepts. Validation analyses will include: • Regulating Plan. The CONSULTANT will prepare regulating plan for the conceptual planning area subject to application of a form -based code. ArcGIS Urban Modeling/Scenario Planning. Incorporating information and feedback harnessed through the design workshop week, the CONSULTANT will generate a planning area land use and development plan, and buildout for the catalytic site concepts subject to application of a form -based code. This plan will represent the preferred scenario for corridor redevelopment that can be used for visualizing and comparing existing and proposed zoning intensities (FAR, maximum height, lot coverage), setbacks and allowed uses in parcels, and alternative road scenarios. Pro -forma Analysis. The CONSULTANT will develop pro -forma models designed to evaluate the financial feasibility of the three catalytic site plans initiated during the Design Workshop (Task 4.3) and further refined as part of this task. These models are structured as "Residual Land Value" analyses, replicating the economics of a private developer for each land use or real estate typology (e.g., ground floor retail in mixed -use setting, mid -rise apartments, midrise R&D/ office, etc.). The pro -forma will incorporate elements such as: • The program for each pro forma model is assumed to include a combination of market rate rental residential, office, retail and/or hotel development • Net operating income (NOI) based on rents, occupancy and expenses • Estimated development costs, net of acquisition City of Fort Worth, Texas Page 15 of 24 Attachment A Release Date: 07.22.2021 Page 15 of 24 FORT WORTH. 4.5. Preliminary Code.
