fiscal characteristics, and including data analysis, research, observation, and initial
engagement activities that introduce the planning process to the public and community
stakeholders. Findings will be used to identify issues that must be addressed to ensure that
planning area growth, development, and revitalization strategies align with community
preferences and needs.
3.1 Discovery Activities.
The CONSULTANT will initiate in -person and on-line public outreach activities to
introduce the project to the public and solicit feedback on corridor needs,
preferences, opportunities and vision. The specific timing of these "kick-off' activities
in relation to all other needs assessment tasks will be determined by the
CONSULTANT and CITY when the final project schedule (Task 1.3) and public

analysis will be viewed with a fiscal lens to guide strategic investments in
infrastructure including `smart' technologies necessary to transform planning area
corridors into leading "Hot Corridors" automated for efficient mobility.
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

TASK 4. CONCEPTUAL PLANNING.
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. May also include
previous focus group meeting participants (Task 2.3).
• Open Design Studio. Public drop -in hours, lunch -and -learn sessions (up to
two [2]).
City of Fort worth, Texas McCart Avenue Corridor Plan
Attachment A 104757
Release Date: 07.22.2021

FORT WORTH.
• Preliminary Concepts Workshop. Optional work session for previous SAC
and focus group participants. 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

4.5. Preliminary Code.
The CONSULTANT will prepare preliminary code recommendations and provisions
to implement the recommendations of the preliminary policy plan (Task 4.1), and
refined planning area concepts and catalytic site concepts (Task 4.4). Preliminary
code products will include a mix of the following:
• Form -based Code. The CONSULTANT will prepare form -based code
ordinances for one or more distinct corridor segments or nodes to integrate
concept plan recommendations into Fort Worth's existing regulatory framework
based on input and suggestions received during prior project tasks.
Each draft code will incorporate a regulating plan (Task 4.4), building form
standards, street standards shown in both plans and sections, use regulations as
needed, descriptive building types and other elements needed to implement the
principles of functional and vital urbanism and practical management of growth.
The form -based code structure will work seamlessly with the City's existing
development ordinance to provide procedural efficiency and mesh with state and
local legal requirements.
Code Amendments. For all corridor segments and nodes in the planning area
not subject to form -based code provisions, the CONSULTANT will identify and
prepare amendments to the Appendix A (Zoning) and other applicable chapters
of the Fort Worth City Code that will be necessary to implement the conceptual
roadway and property design recommendations generated during the conceptual
planning process.
4.6. Preliminary Action Plan.
The CONSULTANT will present refined corridor and node concept plans, and a
preferred roadway design concept, including narratives, maps, pro -forma and
renderings to the SAC (Meeting #4,Task 2.2) (Trip #5) and public open house (Open
House #3, Task 2.4) (Trip #5). Concept plans and roadway design plans will be
accompanied by preliminary implementation strategies including recommended
policies, projects, and development code provisions. The preliminary "action plan"
will be vetted by the SAC to assist in the prioritization of policies and projects that will
be incorporated into the final report.
ASSUMPTIONS

Assessor's office.
The CONSULTANT will consult with the CITY's Transportation and Public Works
Department, Water Department, and other CITY departments to determine the
approximate location of above and underground CITY utilities that have an
impact or influence on the project. Other utilities will not be investigated via
record drawings. The CONSULTANT will incorporate major franchise utilities
(oil/gas, electric) information gathered from publicly -available sources or readily
apparent through visual observation of the corridor via above -ground
appurtenances such as power poles, markers, and valves.
The CONSULTANT will perform additional utility record research as needed to
attempt to obtain existing and proposed utility maps within the project area. Halff
will place TX811 design tickets, utilize online databases such as NPMS and
TRRC GIS resources and coordinate with responsive utility owners to obtain
available records that cover the project area. Halff assumes any records already
obtained by the Client within the project area will be provided to Halff prior to the
initiation of the records collection task.
• The CONSULTANT will utilize available NCTCOG LiDAR topography, aerial
photography, and record drawings of existing improvements to prepare a base
map for study purposes. Limited field survey will be completed to supplement the
LiDAR and aerial imagery as determined by the ENGINEER to identify potential
constraints not included in the LiDAR data.
The CONSULTANT will utilize available appraisal district information and GIS
linework to approximate existing right of way (ROW) boundaries. Additionally, the
CITY will provide record drawings of the roadway, where available, which will
also be used by the CONSULTANT to approximate the ROW.
